.- The Turkish government denied on Wednesday that its leaders were "running away" from Pope Benedict by being out of the country during the pontiff's scheduled visit next week, from Nov. 28 to Dec. 1.
ANSA has reported that several newspapers in Turkey and the rest of Europe have said the absence of Turkey's top politicians is deliberate and possibly even a snub. They claim it is related to recent tensions between the Vatican and the Muslim world, caused by the Pope's September speech in which he cited a Byzantine emperor's comments on Islam.
Premier Tayyip Erdogan, Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul, and Religious Affairs Minister Mehmet Aydin will all be away between Nov. 28 and Dec. 1.
Erdogan and Gul will be in Riga Nov. 28-29 for a NATO summit. On November 30 Erdogan is due to hold a meeting of his country's Supreme Defense Council in Ankara. The religious affairs minister is now scheduled to attend meetings in Germany and the Netherlands.
A government spokesperson reportedly denied the media allegations and pointed out that Deputy Premier Mehmet Ali Sahin would welcome Benedict to Ankara Nov. 28.
It was also announced recently that the Pope's welcome has been downgraded to a second-class protocol instead of a first-class protocol, reported Turkish agency Hurriyet. The ceremonial differences between the two protocols mean that there will not be 21 cannon shots fired and that fewer soldiers will be present for his arrival.
The Pope will also stay at the Vatican Embassy rather than in the Glass House in the President's Çankaya Köşk, which is usually set aside for foreign heads of state.
The spokesperson declined to comment on reports that Erdogan, worried by comments in the press, was now trying to organize a last-minute meeting with the pontiff.
Some newspapers in Turkey have voiced fierce opposition to the pope's imminent visit and a radical Islamic party, Saadet, is organizing a protest on Sunday. Other protests have taken place in recent weeks.
Benedict was invited to Turkey last year by President Ahmet Necdet Sezer. And the visit was originally intended as a way of building bridges with the Orthodox Church. The Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, Bartholomew I, is based in Istanbul and will meet the pope three times over two days.
"I hope he [the Pope] speaks out in favor of the Catholics who live here but also in favor of all the minorities, who do not constitute a risk for the country but an enrichment of it," he said in an interview with Italian weekly Famiglia Cristiana.
There are about 35,000 Catholics living in Turkey.

Since Malaga came under new ownership and Manuel Pellegrini took over as manager, they've become one of the most entertaining sides in La Liga. The signing of Santi Cazorla has been an absolute coup and there's no reason to believe they can't challenge for European places this season and into the distant future. However, they seriously stumbled last week in a loss to Levante, and things are going to get a whole lot tougher in Week 8 of the La Liga season when they welcome Real Madrid.
Jose Mourinho's men have encountered plenty of problems this season, but they're in excellent form with five straight wins in all competitions. With Kaka and Mesut Özil both fit and in good form, Mourinho's biggest problem is figuring out who to play or how to play both of them, an excellent problem to have.
Malaga have the firepower to score on Los Merengues at home, but their defense is questionable at best. Expect goals galore in this fixture, but expect more of them to come from Real Madrid.
Real Madrid vs. Malaga
Game Date/Time: Saturday, October 22, 2:00 pm ET (8:00 pm local)
Venue: La Rosaleda, Malaga, Spain
TV: Sky Sports 4 (UK), ESPN3 (USA - English), ESPN Deportes (USA - Spanish), GolTV (Canada), Canal+ (Spain)

On September 13, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in Paris, France, released a new set of international indicators on national education systems. Professor Gary Miron from the Department of Educational Leadership, Research and Technology was responsible for developing and reporting on the international indicators related to school accountability. The framework and instruments he developed over the last year made it possible to collect and report data from 35 countries related to Performance Accountability, Regulatory Accountability, and Market Accountability. Now it is possible to examine and compare the relative importance of the 3 types of accountability within and across countries and regions. These indicators are also important as researchers seek to explain differences in country performance on standardized tests, access to tertiary education, and overall economic productivity.

Co-Principal Investigators Jianping Shen and Van Cooley and team member's Louann Bierlein Palmer, Walter Burt, Bob Leneway, Dennis Mc Crumb, Sue Poppink, Pat Reeves, Gary Wegenke, Gail Walker, and Jill Grosscup are collaborating with 25 principals and 25 aspiring principals in 12 Michigan school districts. The project is funded by a $3,527,438 grant from the United States Department of Education. The team is comprised of faculty from the Department of Educational Leadership, Research, and Technology (ELRT) and the College of Education and Human Development (CoEHD).
Two three-day work sessions were held at the Crystal Mountain Conference Center in June and August. Work sessions were based on 7 Dimensions of Leadership that have been found to positively impact student achievement. These include: (1) Data Informed Decision Making; (2) Passion and Commitment for School Renewal; (3) Orderly School Operation; (4) High, Cohesive, and Culturally Relevant Expectations for Students; (5) Cohesive Curriculum Programming; (6) Distributive and Empowering Leadership; and (7) Real-time and Embedded Instruction. The team provides professional development and coaching in school districts to support principals, aspiring principals, and school improvement team members in developing renewal projects based on the 7 Dimensions of Leadership that will impact student achievement. The team feels that renewal projects are a systematic approach to school improvement. Each principal will develop a renewal project for each dimension that addresses needs in their respective building. The grant provides stipends to principals and aspiring principals for graduate tuition, supplies, equipment, professional development and activities related to grant activities.
The ELRT team is in the process of completing a book based on the work that has been completed. The book will be published in 2012. The project is an example of faculty and staff developing a learning community with principals, aspiring principals, and teachers in high-needs Michigan school districts. This collaborative work will positively impact the College of Education and Human Development and the Department of Educational Leadership, Research, and Technology. Drs. Shen and Cooley conclude that the inclusion of faculty and staff on the project will help to establish a cohesive leadership team which will have an impact on curriculum and instruction.

Commencement Speakers Challenge Graduates to be Worldly and Humble
Warm, sunny skies greeted some 2,200 Old Dominion University graduates at the school's 112th commencement exercises on Saturday, May 8.
Hearing words of wisdom from German Ambassador Klaus Scharioth and Alina Cho, a national correspondent for the Cable News Network (CNN), students from ODU's six colleges walked across the stage in the Ted Constant Convocation Center to receive their bachelors, masters or doctoral degrees, greeted by the deans of their respective colleges.
The day was split into morning and afternoon ceremonies, with three colleges attending each. Prior to both ceremonies, students assembled and processed across Kaufman Mall and in keeping with tradition, walked over the university seal in the center of the concourse for the first time, before proceeding to the Constant Center.
During the morning ceremony, Scharioth told graduates of the Darden College of Education, Frank Batten College of Engineering and Technology and College of Sciences that they are entering a world far different than the one he entered as a university graduate in Germany in the 1960's.
He mentioned issues like climate change, nuclear proliferation and terrorism, as challenges the world must confront. "And there's a common theme. They are global challenges. No one can solve them alone. Not Germany, not the EU, not even the most powerful nation on earth, the United States of America," Scharioth said.
Scharioth has been the German ambassador to the United States for four years. He joined his country's foreign service in 1976 and has focused on work involving security, defense policy, transatlantic relations, European policy, crisis management, arms control and disarmament, as well as negotiations with Iran, Russia and Group of Eight (G8) nations.
In his address, the ambassador challenged students to be more worldly, to travel and to learn another language. "And to be able to do that, we have to understand different attitudes, traditions and ways of life," he said. "Put yourself in other people's shoes, and try to feel what they feel, even if they are half a world away."
Born in 1946 in impoverished, post-World War II Germany, Scharioth saw first-hand the good that public service can do, speaking eloquently about the contributions of the United States and other nations in helping Germany ultimately unite again and prosper.
Scharioth said he hoped Old Dominion University graduates would continue to see the value of public service, which historically has led to great progress for society. "After my wife and three children, the public service I've done is the most important thing in my life," he said. "It was and is a joy to be part of."
Scharioth received an honorary doctor of humane letters degree from Old Dominion University. An honorary degree was also bestowed on Patricia J. Williams, the James L. Dohr Professor of Law at Columbia University in the morning ceremony. She is the author of numerous books and papers critiquing the American legal system from the standpoint of race.
In the afternoon ceremony, Cho spoke to graduates of the College of Arts and Letters, College of Health Sciences and College of Business and Public Administration.
She encouraged graduates to believe in themselves and pursue their passion. "You will never get to the top, if you can't imagine being there," she said. Cho also reminded graduates to be humble and kind as they pursue success. "On your way to the top, treat the janitor the way you do your boss. You never know, that janitor might be your boss someday."
Cho joined CNN in 2004 and has reported on major news events such as the election of President Barack Obama and Hurricane Katrina. On election night, she reported live from Chicago's Grant Park where Obama gave his acceptance speech. She was part of the Peabody and Emmy award-winning CNN team that covered the Katrina aftermath in New Orleans.
Cho received an honorary doctor of humane letters degree at the ceremony, along with Elizabeth Duke, an M.B.A. graduate of ODU who is a member of the Federal Reserve Board.
Old Dominion University President John R. Broderick paid tribute to members of the ODU community taking part in their final commencement exercises - including University Marshal Gary Crossman and Deputy Marshal Phyllis Barham, who are retiring from their duties.

Looking at the pictures, it appears that, yet again, Tamron didn't bother to make the focus and zoom rings turn the correct direction. Do they not realize that the primary customer for this lens is going to be a professional who owns lenses such as the 70-200L and 17-40L?
This is a serious usability flaw, and a dealbreaker for me. A consistent user interface is critical, and Tamron has broken it here. They finally graduated to the late 20th century and added USM and IS to their lenses; would it kill them to make Canon-mount lenses that behave like Canon's own lenses?
WOW! Thanks ...I love this site...I did not know that ...definite no for me right there.... I have an MFT lens that zooms backwards .... it so puts me off...the lens is sooo small and light with long reach that I decided to keep it...
but I agree with you...I am not including a backwards zoom in my FF kit....NO WAY!!!!!

They played in Australia in January.
They also got three Grammy nominations.
Saturday night, you can see them on a national stage when they perform on Saturday Night Live.
Helen West is the grandmother for Shakes lead singer, Brittany Howard.
"She used to play at home, beat on drums and buckets and all that kind of stuff. I never thought she'd go big, but she did," said West.
They will perform on SNL Saturday night following WAFF 48 News at 10.

The idea for this project I owe to Tom Koch of TechDweeb.com. His Billy BASStard inspired me to crack on of these bad boys open and find my own bends. View the original here: http://www.techdweeb.com/BillyBASStard.html. Enjoy!
Step 1: Collect Your Materials
2. 4 C-cell batteries
3. 2 SPST toggle switches
4. 1 Normally Open momentary pushbutton switch
5. 1 output jack of your choice: 1/8", 1/4", RCA, etc.
6. Solder, soldering iron, wire, clippers, something to drill holes with
Step 2: Exploration
Take a look at the circuit board. Many of the solder points connect to the motor mechanisms that make the bugger flop around. The specific area you are looking for is where the IC (really just another PCB soldered in at a right angle to the main PCB) connects to the board. There is a row of rectangular solder points: this is your goal.
Locate points A, B, and C on the board. These are the points you will be soldering to to make the main bends.
Also, there is a photocell already in the the front half; it's that thing that makes the fish go off every time you walk by it, hidden in a little pit under the red button on the front. Locate this on the inside, as this will be instrumental in the coolness of the completed project.

Lubbock Police believe the person behind a north Lubbock homicide left a trail of evidence.
Funeral services for 19-year-old Bradford McIver were held Thursday in his home town of Albany, Texas.
Friends found the South Plains College student dead inside his apartment at Indiana Village Monday evening.
Police say McIver suffered multiple stab wounds. Now, they say the suspect in this case was also injured, and they're hoping you can help identify the person behind this killing.
The last time anyone saw McIver alive was Saturday morning, and questions about what went on inside his apartment worries neighbors, shocks friends, and have police asking for your help.
Monday morning, apartment #3123 was just like any other at Indiana Village. For those who knew, it was also home to 19-year-old Bradford McIver, but Monday evening that all changed.
"I need EMS over at Indiana Village right now," a caller told the 911 operator Monday.
After not hearing from McIver for a few days, friends went to check on him. They found McIver stabbed to death, and police say his apartment showed obvious signs of a struggle.
"To us it appears to be, pretty clearly, a homicide scene," Lubbock Police Lieutenant Jon Caspell told NewsChannel 11 Monday night.
Crime tape kept folks away for nearly 24-hours. Police eventually released the scene Tuesday evening.
"We believe there may have been some evidence outside the apartment as well, possible blood trail, some other things that appear to be readily visible outside the apartment," Caspell said Tuesday during a news conference.
Uncertainty about what happened left neighbors concerned.
"I'm not sure if I'm supposed to feel safe around here, and in the same building," neighbor Tim Garbett told NewsChannel 11 Tuesday evening.
Friends were in disbelief.
"I just can't believe it. I just can't believe somebody would do that to him," McIver's friend Sarah Cantrell told NewsChannel 11 Wednesday morning.
"Based on the violence at the scene, the nature of what we saw there, some of the evidence that we've collected that we can't comment any further on just yet, leads us to believe that this person was injured," Caspell said.
Investigators hope new information, released Thursday, can help find the killer.
"It could have been a minor one where a family member or friend may have helped them bandage up a wound; it could be something where they had to go to a clinic or actual hospital; we're just not sure," Caspell said.
Friends ask the person responsible to just come forward.
"I just think that it's definitely not right and they definitely need to come forward, because I know Bradford wouldn't hurt anybody, and he didn't deserve that," Cantrell said.
Lubbock Police want folks to remember back to this past weekend. If you remember seeing anyone with an unexplained cut, or our medical staff here in Lubbock, if you remember treating anyone with an unexplained wound or cut, give Crime Line a call at (806) 741-1000.

Although I may not have my very own set of wheels to tool around town in, I know that finding a parking spot is a golden moment, a second of bliss often accompanied by tiny parking fairies raining down happy dust. But apparently the parking situation is so bad in Boston, one woman was willing to plunk down $560,000 for two parking spots. [More]
Parking Is So Bad In Boston, Woman Is Willing To Pay $560,000 For Two Spots
93-Year-Old Woman Sues Co-Op For Booting Her From Parking Spot She's Had For 30 Years
Owning a car in New York City is a daunting feat, mostly because parking is either nonexistent or costs an arm and a leg. Or maybe both arms and both legs and a kidney. That's why a 93-year-old grandmother of 17 is suing her co-op , claiming it wrongfully ousted her from the spot she's had her car parked in for over 30 years. The 1967 Cadillac Coupe convertible had been resting comfortably in its place in the garage since 1981 until the co-op revoked the woman's parking privileges. [More]

Cellphone users are paying out billions for services they don't use. Consumer reporter Steve Noviello is On Your Side with the free service ready to reduce your wireless bill.
Off the top, consumers can often save by checking to see if their company offers a corporate discount, reconsidering the carrier's device insurance and looking carefully at their bills.
It seems few people know exactly how many gigabytes it takes to fuel talking and texting. That's the main reason why consumers are overpaying for cell service to the tune of $52 billion a year.
"We call it wireless waste," said Todd Dunphy, president of SaveLoveGive.com. "People understand a minute and people understand a message, but a gigabyte is a whole other realm of understanding."
Dunphy's free service analyses a user's bill to identify where they are spending when they should be saving. He said more than half of all users find an average of $300 a year in savings.
Amanda Bachman is obsessed with her iPhone 5 and loves its money-saving apps. But her monthly bill can be a budget buster at $450 to $500 a month. For that she gets 20 gigs of data and unlimited talk and text for multiple phones.
"I think I can quantify how much data each app says it's using, however then I look at the bill and I'm completely turned off that what I thought I knew, I didn't know," she said.
She agreed to send her bill to Dunphy for a free Save Love Give analysis.
"She's buying 20 gigs for five phones and is using between six and nine," he said.
Dunphy also discovered a $1.99 charge for detailed billing and a $9.99 navigation charge for one of the phones. The virtual gold mine of wireless waste added up to about $1,080 per year.
"Oh my God," Bachman said.
Dunphy instructed Bachman to ask AT&T for a retroactive refund for the navigation charge since she said she didn't know she was paying for. The company agreed to credit her $250 on her next bill.
Save Love Give presents each user with options for a plan from their current carrier that better fits their usage with no contract extension. An email requesting a plan change is generated and can be sent with just one click.
Once users love what they save, there's also a give option. Users are given the opportunity to donate a portion of their savings to charity. SaveLoveGive.com picks a new one each month.

text: I was pretty crushed yesterday when I saw that Spikes was leaving. Then I woke up today and saw Baas was leaving as well. I wanted to keep those two players but we failed in doing so and now the next two players on our list are Goldson and Franklin. I think we need to sign Franklin at all costs because we really have no options. But as for Goldson I think we can let him walk. Dawan Landry is a FA so I say we make a run for him instead. He is a better Saftey, is more experienced, and comes from a winning team. Also the Giants cut O'Hara so I beleive we could replace Baas by signing him if the price is right. And when I logged onto the site I saw that the 49ers and Jets are the leading candidates for Asomugha, so i think it is about time to let Clements go or restructure his contract. What are your thoughts on Landry and O'Hara?

Despite the recent losses to our bitter rivals this news is music to my ears. The Blues have had some free space under the cap to work with for a season or two and the idea that we not only entertained, but pursued a monster trade for Kovy scratches my balls. Its awesome to know that management is as pissed off with mediocrity as all of us are. Thank you JD, Larry, and co. please continue to swing big dicks and land us a top threat, fuck it we only need to win 4 more games than Nashville and everyone below them to make the playoffs, theres a lot of hockey left and space is hard to make up, but we can do that shit, its 4 games.
I will continue to stand behind this team although i have this deep feeling something terrible might happen or we wont make the playoffs. Anyone else have their fancy tickled with the idea of our organizations pursuit

The last book in the Dark Divine trilogy is filled with a lot more action than the previous two. The Savage Grace deploys a fast pace right through to the end. With any finale, one hopes for a satisfying conclusion. Despain captures that essence of finality and leaves you with a bit of a bittersweet ending that will please all fans. A fantastic end to the series.
Grace had it all: a perfect brother, Jude; the perfect best friend, April; and a boy, Daniel, who meant the world to her. Until a horrible incident took it all away. Now, Jude is locked up, Daniel is stuck as a wolf and April is spreading herself thin, running between Grace and Jude. To make things worse, Caleb Kaibi and his gang of demons is closer to finding and killing everyone Grace has ever loved. With Sirhan's death fast approaching, will Daniel return to his human state? Can they stop Caleb from taking over the werewolf tribe? (EGMONT, Mar., 496 pp., $17.99, ISBN: 9781606842218, HC, 12 & Up)

It is important to take safety precautions when people hit the water, especially during the high-traffic times of summer holidays.
Dennis Knowlton has a passion for fishing, but he also knows the dangers.
"I only do that about five, six times a week," he said. "I've got a father-in-law that back when I was about 27 years old we lost my father-in-law."
To stay safe out on the lake you need a like preserver, but fisherman at Smithville Lake also said the most important thing you need to have is a knowledge of the lake.
"You're going to hit that if you don't know it's there and you're going to tear the bottom out of your boat," Knowlton said.
Missouri Highway Patrol State Trooper Kim Davis said the worst incidents often come in the form of a drunk driver.
"Always be prepared for the worst," she said. "If you choose to drink alcohol, we want everybody to watch how much you consume. We want you to designate a driver for the boat."
Davis also offered some other tips on boating safety just in time for Memorial Day weekend.
"Your fire extinguishers are up and running, batteries are good and charged. We see a lot of dead batteries the first part of the year," she said.
She also advises boaters to watch their speeds.
"We don't have roadways. We don't have stop signs. We don't have dotted lines. It's kind of a free-for-all if you will," Davis said.
Despite the dangers, Knowlton said he'll continue pursuing his passion.
"Love it. Fishing's good," he said.
According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, most boats are in the water in the summer months and on holiday weekends.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - With the impending wintry storm that is expected to hit the South Plains, ice may be a factor, along with the winds. With those two elements, we could likely see power outages.
Xcel Energy says that they are on top of it, including the mobilization of all available power crews and contractors.
Xcel will also call on support from neighboring utilities if necessary. They are calling on suppliers of utility poles and other equipment, that could be needed to make quick repairs.
They are also reserving all available phone lines, and additional agents to handle increased volume at their call centers.
Xcel is mobilizing tree trimmers to assist in removing fallen trees and branches.
If you experience an outage, be sure to inspect the damage at a distance, safety should always be your first concern.

The March to 85 Continues – Alabama
Looks like Bama Sports Report is going to take care of the heavy lifting this year with their complete breakdown of scholarship numbers for Alabama. Just like last year, our numbers are nearly identical to their numbers. They had Alabama at 96 on NSD (72 returning after seniors and juniors leaving early for the NFL declared and 24 signed including greyshirt rollovers from previous year), putting Alabama 11 over the 85 limit on NSD, which is the same number we have, 11 over.
On NSD, Nick Saban told the media that no one knows what his scholarship numbers are and that Alabama was not at 85 last year (which begs the question, why did he waste scholarships by not giving them to walk-ons to help pay for their last year?). He also told the media that what he signed "was the number of players we could take" (see the 7:35 mark in this video for his exact words) on NSD implying that Alabama had room for everyone they signed and that any new attrition would open more spots for them to add guys later. Alabama has officially added no one thus far, as Duron Carter's status is still up in the air and it's unclear if has signed with Alabama at this point, and 6 guys have left the program since NSD.
Interesting side note: Saban does talk for a few minutes about how he wishes certain aspects of the "business" were more like they were when he was in the Big 10 Conference, specifically in regards to recruiting a player that has already verbally committed to another school. Those comments come immediately after his comments mentioned above and are worth a quick listen.
Here is what the March to 85 looks like:

Back to the oversigning. If Saban is telling the truth and he signed "the number of players we could take" then he should have been at 85 on NSD. Since that time, 6 guys have left their scholarships with 4 more rumored to follow. Meaning, either Alabama is going to go into the season with 74-75 guys on scholarship or Nick Saban wasn't being completely honest when he said they signed the number of players they could take, and the attrition since NSD has enabled him to get down to 85.
If Saban was telling the truth and he truly signed what they had room for, then Saban should be announcing 10-11 (or some number) walk-on players getting 1 year scholarships to take the place of all the guys that left and all of the scholarships that have opened up since NSD, and if he doesn't, those of you who scream about creating opportunities and maximizing scholarships should be screaming at Saban for letting those scholarships go to waste for a year.
Pro-oversigning fans argue that oversigning enables all 85 scholarships to be used. In a few weeks we are going to find out if all 85 are being used at Alabama or if all the attrition since signing day was required in order to get down to 85.
If the attrition since signing day has created scholarship openings and those scholarships are not given to walk-ons for 1 year until they can be given to new recruits next year, then Saban's argument about maximizing scholarships and creating opportunities through oversigning goes out the window. You can't say in one breath that you believe in creating opportunities while in another breath let x number of scholarships go unused. Either the attrition is going to get Alabama back down to 85 or the attrition is going to create openings for walk-ons, one or the other. We'll see what happens.
…implying that Alabama had room for everyone they signed and that any new attrition would open more spots for them to add guys later.
That's not what he meant by that and I find it hard to believe you don't know that. As has been pointed out several times here and other articles, Saban is aware of several of the kids who are considering transfers. He also knows of medical scholarships that have been in the works since last season – even though they may not be announced to the public till late summer (if at all, many places don't announce them at all). Throw in a couple of probable grayshirts that can be moved up in case there is more attrition than known and you have what "they have room for". You make this allowance for OSU in your latest post. You admit that even though Dilillo was on scholarship, they knew he wouldn't be on the team next year. Then there is Sam Longo. Yes, he transferred just before NSD, but do you really think OSU went out and offered someone with just a few days remaining in the signing period? No, they knew that transfer was coming well before it was announced.
If the attrition since signing day has created scholarship openings and those scholarships are not given to walk-ons for 1 year until they can be given to new recruits next year, then Saban's argument about maximizing scholarships and creating opportunities through oversigning goes out the window. You can't say in one breath that you believe in creating opportunities while in another breath let x number of scholarships go unused.
Just look at Florida and Georgia. Neither program oversigned and both are looking at having less than 75 scholarship players entering the fall. Do you think that each one will award 10+ scholarships to walk-ons? If not, then opportunity was clearly not maximized because they did not account for anticipated attrition by oversigning.

Alexandria Police say an 8-month-old boy died Friday after being left inside a hot vehicle in Arlington.
Police say they were called after the mother brought the baby to Inova Alexandria Hospital Friday afternoon, where he was pronounced dead.
According to police, it appears the mother forgot to drop off her baby at the daycare and left the infant inside the vehicle when she went to work in Arlington.
"There is an investigation to determine what happened, why it happened and whether any sort of charges would be appropriate," said Alexandria Police Lt. Mark Bergin. "At this time, there are no charges placed and it's very early in the investigation."
Alexandria Police say Arlington County Police will investigate the case.

The Bluffton High School student who brought a loaded gun, knives and explosive devices to school nearly a year ago will serve no more than five years in prison.
Austen Almeida could have faced more than 20 years in prison, but On Friday a judge sentenced him to a fraction of that, plus five years of probation once he's been released.
Almeida must also seek medical treatment or he'll go back to prison for 10 years.
Psychiatric evaluations revealed that Almeida suffers from several mental disorders, and the judge factored that into his decision on Friday.
Almeida pleaded guilty in February to carrying a weapon on school property, unlawful possession of a pistol, possession of explosive and destructive devices and disturbing school.
Almeida said he was going to chop people in to little bits and light them on fire.
"I was going to take gasoline and i was going to go like everybody get up to the corner and shut your mouths, and then i was going to douse them with gasoline," he said.
Prosecutors wanted the maximum sentence of 20 years, but after finding out that he suffers from ADHD, Asperger syndrome and depression, Judge Thomas Cooper reduced the sentence, saying both of the psychiatrists who evaluated him agreed.
Almeida's lawyer said this all could have been avoided if doctors would have diagnosed him sooner.
"If he had gotten the correct treatment, we believe nothing would have happened," said attorney Sam Bauer. "There would not have been any kind of crime committed, and the doctors agree."
Dr. Donna Schwartz-Watts, who was hired by the defense, said what happened that day was an error in judgement, which is a symptom of Asperger syndrome.
However, Deputy Solicitor Shawn Thornton disagrees because he said Almeida planned the attack five days earlier.
"He said five days before that, he had gotten a new knife and thought, quote, 'this could be fun if I could go and kill some people.'"
The defense argued that Almeida didn't kill anyone, and in fact, he was the one who turned himself in and asked for help.
Now he has to get help or he'll be in jail a lot longer. His mother reassured the judge that she and her family will make sure he gets the help he needs.
"The family fully intends to make Austen's mental health our utmost priority," said Almeida's mother, Denise Black.
Almeida said he thought about what he was going to do.
"I was
going to chop people in to little bits and light them on fire," said Almeida. "When
people started squirming or running, I was going to take the gasoline and I was
going to go like 'everybody get up to the corner and shut your mouths', and I was
going to douse them with the gasoline and then I was going to light them"
Almeida said he stopped himself that day because he wanted help.
"I thought about hurting people but I didn't hurt anyone, and I believe that in the end I didn't hurt anyone because I'm not an evil person," he said.

Posner Takes a Swipe at Lawyers in Smartphone Patent Dispute; Will Other Judges Cite His Reasoning?
Posted Jun 26, 2012 5:30 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Sitting as a trial judge in a patent dispute between Apple and Motorola, Judge Richard Posner dismissed the case Friday, saying neither company is entitled to an injunction. His opinion also criticized the lawyers who, in his view, failed to garner adequate proof of damages.
Posner, a judge on the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, had already indicated he planned to dismiss the case, a patent dispute over technology used in Android mobile phones in which both sides alleged infringement. In a pretrial ruling, Posner had excluded testimony from damages experts for both Apple and Motorola. In an order earlier this month, Posner said neither side would be able to prove damages with remaining expert testimony and disclosed he had tentatively decided to dismiss the case.
Posner followed through Friday, when he ruled neither side would be entitled to an injunction, report the Wall Street Journal (sub. req.), TechDirt, Reuters and Bloomberg News. His ruling (PDF) took a hit at the lawyers representing Apple.
"Apple claims that Motorola profited from infringement by incorporating the desirable features of Apple's patented technology into its own devices without either paying a royalty for a license to use the patents or incurring the cost of investing around them," Posner wrote. "Apple has never contended that these benefits to Motorola of infringement cannot be quantified. It merely has failed, despite its vast resources and superb legal team, to do so in a minimally acceptable manner—failed whether because of mistakes in trial preparation (which even the best lawyers can make), or because too many cooks spoil the stew (Apple is represented by three law firms in this litigation), or maybe because the infringements did not deprive Apple of any profits."
Posner said there was no evidence of a loss of goodwill or market share by Apple entitling it to an injunction. "To suggest that it has suffered loss of market share, brand recognition, or customer goodwill as a result of Motorola's alleged infringement of the patent claims still in play in this case is wild conjecture," he wrote.
He also cited a related reason for denying the injunction: It would likely impose costs on Motorola disproportionate to the benefits gained by Apple. "An injunction that imposes greater costs on the defendant than it confers benefits on the plaintiff reduces net social welfare," he said.
Will Posner's reasoning catch on with other judges considering patent infringement claims? The Wall Street Journal spoke to experts about the impact of Posner's opinion.
Some said that judges souring on the patent wars could follow Posner's lead and dismiss cases because damages can't be proven and injunctions aren't justified. But others thought Posner's decision was long on his own opinion and short on precedents, lessening its persuasive value.
Stanford law professor Brian Love was among those who questioned the reach of the opinion. "The ruling was more like a 'what Judge Posner thinks' rather than writing something that can be cited broadly or that other judges can use for their rulings," Love told the Wall Street Journal.

Photo Flash: Inside God's Love We Deliver's 11th ANNUAL AUTHORS IN KIND Event
On Wednesday, April 9, more than 270 friends of God's Love We Deliver gathered at the 11th Annual Authors In Kind. This literary luncheon, held at the Metropolitan Club, was emceed by Board Member, author extraordinaire and Authors In Kind founder, Linda Fairstein. Linda introduced each guest author, who then took the podium to share anecdotes and remarks about their work to the delight of our many guests. The authors signed books before and after the event, meeting and greeting guests and fans. Scroll down to see some photos from the event!
This year's authors included:
Linda Fairstein - Author of the Alex Cooper crime novel series including her most recent novels, Death Angel and Terminal City
Robin Cook - New York Times bestselling author of Coma, discussed his latest book, Cell, a medical thriller with top-notch fusion of groundbreaking medical sciences and edge-of-your seat suspense.
Barbara Ehrenreich - Award-winning essayist, columnist, and author of New York Times bestseller Nickel and Dimed. Barbara discussed her new book, Living with a Wild God.
Michael Anthony - The Gramercy Tavern James Beard award-winning chef discussed The Gramercy Tavern Cookbook.
Karen Pearl, God's Love President & CEO, opened with moving remarks about how this event supports the important mission of God's Love. She showed the work, growth and progress of God's Love through a photo slideshow featuring images of God's Love volunteers, the construction of the God's Love SoHo site and more. Linda Fairstein, the tour de force behind Authors In Kind, made lovely remarks on the work of God's Love, its history and the community it serves. She introduced each author and also introduced the God's Love agency videoto a rapt audience. Barbara Ehrenreich spoke of her history with God's Love - a personal friend received meals from God's Love years ago and she saw how important it was to have good, nutritious food delivered right to their door. Chef Michael Anthony spoke of his appreciation for God's Love at a moment in his life when he had undergone surgery and could not shop or cook. He knows just how important it is to provide meals for people who cannot provide for themselves. As a former medical student, Robin Cook shared how important it is to take care of those who are too sick to take care of themselves.
Pearl and Fairstein worked in tandem as they shared news with guests. They spoke of the renovation and expansion of the God's Love headquarters in SoHo, and of the work that God's Love is currently doing in its temporary site in Brooklyn.
Guests enjoyed iced coffee generously donated by RED THREAD GOOD Coffee -- the partnership was announced at last year's luncheon. For every cup of READ THREAD GOOD Coffee sold, 2 cents are donated to God's Love We Deliver.
As the event drew to a close, Pearl and Fairstein auctioned off a pearl necklace, donated by Angela Cummings for Assael. They also auctioned off a bag by CH Carolina Herrera and 8-packs of brownies for a year made by Chuck the Baker.
In honor of Mother's Day, God's Love had a special Mother's Day appeal, called "Meals for Moms." For this appeal, for every donation of $250 or more, Linda Fairstein agreed to sign and send a copy of her new book, Terminal City. Guests were delighted at such a thoughtful appeal and a wonderful gift from Linda. Authors received gifts of pearls from Angela Cummings.
Other attendees of Authors In Kind included: Ken Aretsky, Michele Ateyeh, Dennis Basso, Michael Bruno, Jane Clementi, James Clementi Jr., Philip Geier, Lori Griffiths, Alexa Hampton, Fred Hill, Anne Keating, Ann Kempner, Danny Meyer, Peggy Siegal, Lesley Stahl, Blaine Trump, Robert Verdi, Vicente Wolf, Kathleen & Victor Zammit, Jens Audenaert, Rebecca Bond, Scott Bruckner, Joseph Dolce, Jonah Disend, Richard Feldman, Esq., John Gile, Jon Gilman, Barbara Goodstein, Christopher Idone, Adrian Kahan, Joseph Kirk, Chris Lacovara, Mark and Gaby Lehrer, Terrence Meck, Karen Naber, Richard and Jane Novick, Jeffrey Pfeifle, Scott Reinhardt, Alan Rogers, Michael Sennott, Jane & Patrick Shea, Sylvia Vogelman, Greg and Katy Williamson.

Because demand has increased more than 62% in the last five years, this year's Authors In Kind, and the funds it has raised for God's Love We Deliver, is more important than ever.

NATO Strike and US Pakistan Relations
November 29, 2011 by Team SAISA
Filed under Analysis, geopolitics
In sum the incident has thrown open vast opportunities for the Pakistan Army to bolster its battered image and tighten its grip at home and in Afghanistan. It will seek greater quid pro quo as the US needs Pakistan's support till 2014 and Pakistan remains dependent on development and military aid from the US. Thus apparently the conditions are ripe for Pakistan army to leverage its"rogue" status to squeeze America – something Obama will have to contend with.
