Lia Lando is a graduate of Syracuse University's Newhouse School. Her career in journalism started at Dateline, NBC where she was selected for a prestigious internship and worked alongside Stone Phillips and Jane Pauley.
Lia was then hired by WETM TV the NBC affiliate in Elmira, NY. She produced and co-anchored the stations morning newscast and was quickly promoted to produce and anchor a brand new 5PM show.
While Lia was in Elmira, her future husband was working on the 86th floor of The World Trade Center in New York City. Thankfully he was late for work when terrorists attacked his building on 9/11. Nick lost 42 co-workers that day. Lia interviewed him moments after the attacks.
The events of 9/11 shaped Lia's career. She turned down other offers in journalism to move to New York City to be closer to Nick. Shortly after her move she was hired as a freelance anchor and reporter for News 12 Westchester and New Jersey.
In 2005 Lia came to Rochester with her husband and son to anchor a local 10PM newscast. She left journalism for a couple of years to work in public relations for
PAETEC before she was hired to anchor at WIVB in Buffalo.
Now Lia is happy to be back home anchoring in Rochester here at News 10NBC.
Lia and her husband love living in Rochester with their two children. They enjoy spending time on Keuka Lake.
Another interesting fact about Lia, she used to sing the national anthem at Syracuse University basketball games inside the Carrier Dome. She even sang at a Knicks/Spurrs game.

Palestinians take step towards unity, doubts remain
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and West Bank started registering on Monday to vote in a long-delayed election that is aimed at healing nearly six years of bitter rifts among rival factions.However, with no date yet set for either the overdue legislative or presidential ballot and with the main political blocs still bickering over their reconciliation drive, the chances of lasting unity looked as elusive as ever.Hundreds of Palestinians queued up at registration centers to make sure their names were on the lists in case any ballot materialized, although many were openly skeptical about the possibility of a rapid breakthrough."There is very little hope. It is a bit like Satan's hope to go to Heaven," said 56-year-old Naeem Doghmosh as he put his name down on the Gaza electoral roll.The Islamist group Hamas, which seized the Gaza Strip from its secular Fatah rivals in a 2007 civil war, had previously barred the Palestinian Central Election Commission (CEC) from operating on its turf.It relented following Egyptian-brokered talks between Hamas and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction, which still holds sway over the occupied West Bank.However the latest meetings in Cairo at the weekend went badly, officials said, with no agreement on the formation of a unity government or on a revision of the Palestine Liberation Organization -- the Palestinians' highest decision-making body."The Cairo talks did not achieve the breakthrough that we had hoped for, but they did not collapse," Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas's Gaza prime minister, said in a statement after he met the CEC chairman, Hanna Naser.The CEC says its registration drive is aimed at allowing an estimated 700,000 Palestinians to enroll, adding their names to some 1.5 million people already listed. The process is due to be completed by Feb. 18 and, in theory, an election could then be called three months later.Palestinians last held a parliamentary vote in 2006, when Hamas swept to power, ending the dominance of Fatah and alarming Western powers, which view the group as a terrorist organization for its refusal to renounce violence or to recognize Israel.The following civil war ensured that the Palestinians became both geographically and politically divided.Worried about their growing democracy deficit, Palestinians staged local elections in the West Bank last year. These were boycotted by Hamas, which complains that its supporters are routinely rounded up and imprisoned by Fatah forces.Both sides blamed the other for lack of progress in the recent Cairo talks."The two sides were not ready to make the necessary concessions and meet in the middle of the road. They are still afraid of the concept of power sharing," said Gaza political analyst, Talal Okal.Bassam Al-Zbaidi, a West Bank political analyst, said that while voter registration was a procedural matter, the differences over security issues between the two factions could not be easily overcome."Reconciliation is very far away," he said.

Buy now, pay later is the American way, but PayPal is putting a new spin on this old habit. As of today, PayPal is officially launching "Pay After Delivery". Not a very clever name but it's clear enough – buy something online through PayPal and they won't take the money until the package arrives (actually, 14 days later).
They've been testing this program in the UK and with a few customers here in the US but now they're opening it up to everyone. . . and just in time for the holidays.
The concept is all about instilling confidence in the buyer. Not sure about your purchase? Worried about buying from a new store? No problem. Complete the transaction and you'll have plenty of time to put in a claim if the item doesn't arrive or isn't what you wanted.

Dream big, Philadelphia!
Send this to a friend
- Glenn Blumenfeld, Guest Columnist
Something has been bothering me for a while. Why hasn't Philadelphia fulfilled its potential? Why isn't our economy thriving? I just started reading the biography, "Steve Jobs" which, among other things, describes the birth of the Silicon Valley in the 1960s and 1970s, and something hit me. We lack dreamers in Philadelphia.
Over 230 years ago, the biggest dreamers in the world converged on Philadelphia because they had a great idea. They wanted to create a different kind of country based on liberty and self determination (at least for most people initially). Philadelphia was not just the center of the fledgling colonies; it had the attention of everyone in the world. The brightest, most enlightened minds in North America were walking our streets, thinking thoughts previously unheard of or unimagined. What has happened to us?
Unlike our forefathers, we have learned to settle and accept the status quo. We've come to believe that what we are is inevitable and that we can't be more than what we are now. We've become cynics. We have no identity of our own. We draw our significance from places around us. We're not New York and we're not Washington, D.C.; our claim to fame is that we're conveniently located between the two and just a few hours from skiing and the beach. It's time to start dreaming again.
The Silicon Valley became the mecca for creative minds and entrepreneurs in the 1960s and 70s due to the confluence of many factors. Surely the migration of the defense industry and all of its engineers to the region helped fuel the tech boom. Having Stanford and Cal Tech nearby didn't hurt either. It also helped that millionaires were created overnight as startups went public thereby enabling everyone and their brothers to dabble in venture capital and foster even more tech companies. The point is, Philadelphia has many of these ingredients absent perhaps the legion of millionaires. I'm convinced that we are poised for greatness if we just focus, think big and gather the leadership to seize the moment.

It was impossible not to feel for All Black Andrew Hore as he hunched into a small crowded room on the second floor of the All Blacks' hotel.
This was not the usual version of the happy hooker.
There were no witty one-liners, no grunting giddays, no scraggly stubble or casual beanie.
This was a 34-year-old man laid bare after his name had been dragged through the mud for the past three days.
Suit pressed, shoes shined, eyes wide open - Hore took a deep breath in a bid to relieve his anxiety before taking a seat just a few feet in front of the gathered New Zealand media.
"I want to say how bad I feel and how embarrassed I am to be in this situation," he said.
"It is not the All Black way and I have let myself down and the team down and probably the whole country is pretty proud of what we do."
It was uncomfortable to see a hard-man showing his vulnerable side and a guilty moment for those who were quick to demonise the Otago man.
"I have to take what I have got and go back and start building a reputation as a good, clean, hard footy player and hopefully I can do that in the next Super Rugby competition, when I get back playing," he said.
Which is about when the violins stopped playing, and the reality of this messy saga hit home. It has been handled poorly from start to finish by all concerned.
Hore didn't deserve the character assassination he's received in many quarters. He's played 74 tests over 10 years without one serious slip-up.
On that evidence he is not a thug.
This should have been said on Saturday night in Cardiff, not Wednesday afternoon in London.
But Hore did knock a bloke called Bradley Davies out from behind, and for that he deserved a fitting suspension.
Whether he got one for lashing out just because his chase line was impeded at Millennium Stadium is highly debatable.
He didn't mean to knock him out, but he did. It wasn't meant to look ugly, but it did.
The injury caused shouldn't shape the punishment, but it does.
This was an ugly concussion that affected Davies for days.
Yet another chance to send a strong message about reckless play has been missed.
And the IRB judiciary shouldn't have bought a dummy in handing down a soft five-week ban, but they did.
Hore's ban is soft because it includes three pre-season matches of which he will probably benefit from missing, and might not have laced the boots for anyway.
Yes, he is the new captain of the Highlanders, but many All Blacks do not play during the Super Rugby pre-season as they filter back to their franchises after annual leave.
The judiciary were told missing the pre-season would have "significant and meaningful consequences" for Hore.
Like what?
His coach Steve Hansen said this week player workloads were the biggest issue facing the global game.
Another is the public's perception of an IRB judicial system that is inconsistent and weak, seemingly shackled by guidelines that are easily manipulated by clever lawyers and apologetic players.
NZRU boss Steve Tew pointed out that more rigid guidelines would jeopardise a fair trial and that the guidelines for foul play had been sanctioned after a "morality conference" last year including past players, UK journalists and coaches.
Judging each case individually provided a chance for all sides to be heard, he said.

Wigan assistant coach Iestyn Harris has been given permission to speak to Salford about joining Brian Noble's coaching staff, according to Sky sources.

Red Devils owner and chairman Marwan Koukash revealed on Monday that he is looking to strengthen the club's backroom team following a disappointing start to the Super League season.
Former Wales head coach Harris, 37, and Australian Shane Flanagan, 48, were confirmed as two potential additions.
Harris played under Noble for both Bradford and Great Britain and worked alongside him at Crusaders in 2010 before succeeding him as head coach.
He is now assisting Shaun Wane at Wigan, but will reportedly be out of contract at the end of the year.
Salford, who have lost four of their seven Super League games so far and sit down in ninth place in the table, have now made an official approach to the Warriors and have been given permission to speak to Harris.

Tracey Yukich "knew" 'The Biggest Loser' choices would lead to exit
By Christopher Rocchio, 11/06/2009
Tracey Yukich knew that her aggressive gameplay on
The Biggest Loser
would lead to her downfall.
"I was not surprised that I was sent home once I fell below the yellow line. I kind of always knew that, 'Okay if I ever fall below I am definitely going to be on the chopping block because of the choices that I did make in the beginning when I got to the ranch,'" she told reporters during a Wednesday conference call.
"But how many people can go through this experience that I went through? There's a lot of people that have gone home that wished that they didn't go home and maybe had that feeling of maybe I should have done this or maybe I could have done more. And I never felt that way. I knew that every day that I was there that I gave it my all. I did what I had to do to stay there. And that is my decent from Day 1. And I'm proud of myself for what I did; not a lot of people can say that."

The 37-year-old homemaker from Allen, TX became the
eighth contestant eliminated
The Biggest Loser
eighth season during Tuesday night's broadcast of the NBC reality competition.
While Yukich told
The Biggest Loser
host Allison Sweeney that she did have regrets about her gameplay decisions following her ouster, she has since thought about her experience and now has none.
"After I got home and really thought about what I said I don't have any regrets because from Day 1 I felt like things were out of control for me because of me going to the hospital and me not being there with everyone else," she explained.
"I truly felt once I got home and like really looked at the situation I'm like I really did everything that I had to do to make sure I stayed there as long as I could."
Yukich was taken to the hospital during
The Biggest Loser
eighth-season premiere after she suffered heat stroke.
"Dr. Huizenga calls it the perfect storm," said Yukich.
"There was a lot of factors. I hadn't eaten enough, drank enough. It was very hot outside. Adrenaline was going. And the fifth one, believe it or not from what Dr. Huizenga said was being on your period is like another perfect storm for having a heat stroke."
Yukich added those five factors brought her core temperature to about 104 degrees.
"I started losing mobility in my legs. I was confused. And I went to the hospital. And I was scared that I wasn't going to be able to go back onto the show," she told reporters.
"I mean to be honest with you when I'm laying in the hospital crying my eyes thinking I can't believe that this has happened because for one I'm very competitive and I think everyone that watches television that saw me on the show knows that."
While in the hospital, Yukich said she received a visit from
The Biggest Loser
executive producer Todd Lubin.
"He said, 'Tracey do you want your husband and kids to come because they want to come visit you, your husband is extremely worried about you,'" recalled Yukich.
"I looked at him and I was apprehensive. I had apprehension and I said, 'You know what Todd, if my husband comes here and sees me he's going to make me go home. I need to stay here. So if I get out of this bed and I start fighting to walk will you let me back on the show?'"
Yukich said Lubin told her that they'd simply have to "see how things play out." While she recovered and returned, Yukich attributed her aggressive gameplay to that stay in the hospital.
"I swore to myself laying in that hospital bed within those four white walls and no one there and sitting there by myself, I swore to myself if I get out of this bed and I make it onto this show after three times of trying out, after standing in the rain for 14 hours, after being a contestant 1 of 16 out of 500,000 all over the country, if I make it on this show I promise you - meaning I'm promising myself - that I will do everything and anything I can to stay there as long as I can," she said.
"And that's where the gameplay came in."
Despite being criticized by her fellow contestants for her gameplay, Yukich said she has "amazing, great relationships" with them.
"I actually spent a lot of my time talking to them [Tuesday] night after the show as over," she explained.
"I have great relationships with them and I know that that's the next question that's going to be coming up, because a lot of people think that I don't, but I really do. Because what you all see is what you see on TV but when people know me, people know who I am and know where my heart is and I have a huge heart."
Since most viewers don't know her personally, Tracey said she isn't surprised that she's received some nasty comments online.
"It's okay because those people only see the Tracey that they see on television," she said. "They don't get to see me everyday, with my friends or my husband and my children -- they know exactly who I really am and where I'm coming from."
Yukich said she would preview each
The Biggest Loser
episode before letting her children watch because she had "reservations" about the way she'd be portrayed.
"I would watch it first and then let my kids watch it because I do have little kids and I'm the mom. And I'm their superhero in their eyes. So when they see someone on TV that maybe wasn't completely myself and how others were talking about me, it kind of did hurt their feelings," she explained.
"So I really did go back and watch those shows separately and then I let them watch it just because I wanted to make sure that it was going to be kid friendly for my own children."
Yukich declined to reveal her current weight for reporters, citing the fact the
The Biggest Loser
live eighth-season finale is slightly more than a month away as her reason.
"America is going to see that so I am keeping my weight on the down-low so to say," she said.
"I just would urge you all to watch and wait and see because don't discount Tracey out. Even though she was gone from
The Biggest Loser
doesn't mean that I'm not already a finalist for the at home prize."
Yukich said participating in
The Biggest Loser
is the first time in her life she's started something she intends to finish.
"If that means that I get to take home that prize then I'm gunning for it," she said.

Amid Petraeus sex scandal, Air Force to release abuse report
SAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - Already reeling from an embarrassing sex scandal involving former Army General David Petraeus, the U.S. military on Wednesday will release a report on widespread sexual abuse of women recruits at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas.
The Air Force report is expected to provide details of systematic sexual abuse in the U.S. Air Force, a scandal that until last week was considered the worst in the military in more than a decade.
But the disclosures of harassment and abuse at the Air Force base have been overshadowed by the abrupt resignation of Petraeus. The former commander of U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan stepped down from his post as CIA director last week after admitting to an extramarital affair with a female biographer.
The report on Wednesday will detail problems at Lackland, where all U.S. Air Force basic training is conducted. Eleven basic training instructors have been charged with offenses ranging from inappropriate touching of female recruits to sexual assault.
Five instructors have been convicted or pleaded guilty at courts-martial and have been sentenced to terms ranging from 30 days to 20 years in prison. The others are in various stages of the military legal process.
The Air Force has said 48 women have come forward with what investigators consider credible stories of sexual misconduct.
Advocates for women in the military said the harassment and abuse of women is systematic in the U.S. armed forces.
"This culture of hostility and violence toward women is constantly being promoted even to new people in the service," said Nancy Parrish, president of Protect Our Defenders, a group that fights sexual harassment in the military.
The group provided Reuters a copy of an administrative complaint that it received from a lawyer for Air Force Technical Sergeant Jennifer Smith, which spelled out some details of alleged abuse.
Smith alleges that an air base vice commander once instructed her to take off her uniform top and offered her alcohol during what was supposed to be a routine personnel review.
Smith, who has 17 commendations and has been deployed to Iraq and Kuwait, also said she was subjected to pornography in the workplace and referred to as a "bitch" by supervisors. The complaint is a required precursor to a possible lawsuit.
"The Air Force has been on notice for years regarding this hostile environment, yet has taken no effective steps to stop the constant and blatant illegalities," the complaint states. "Sexual assault and harassment are part of the mentality of the Air Force."
Susan Burke, Smith's attorney, said the sergeant knew that reporting rape and sexual assault in the military could destroy victims' careers and often subjected them to isolation and retaliatory violence and harassment.
Exhibits filed with the complaint included lyrics to bawdy songs sung by Air Force personnel that refer to women using sexually vulgar terms, training manuals that refer to women as 'bitch' or 'whore,' and pornographic photographs Burke said were taken directly from computers at Air Force installations.

Baltimore, MD (SportsNetwork.com) - Jimmy Paredes homered and drove in two runs in his first start with the Orioles, as Baltimore took down the Minnesota Twins, 3-2, on Saturday.
Paredes made his Orioles debut on Friday, when he replaced an injured Steve Pearce at third base and finished with a hit and run scored in the 9-1 rout. Pearce was unable to go on Saturday with a right abdominal strain, so Paredes got the nod.
Acquired from the Royals earlier this season and stashed in the minor leagues until this week, Paredes finished 2-for-3 and helped the O's to their fifth win in six games. Chris Davis scored and drove in the other run for the home team.
Both starters put up nearly identical lines, though neither factored in the final decision. Kyle Gibson of the Twins and Baltimore's Chris Tillman each gave up a run with six strikeouts and three walks, while Tillman allowed six hits in five innings and Gibson yielded four hits over five.
"We have a lot of baseball left," said Tillman. "That's the way I look at it. We gotta keep going. We got a long way to go."
Twins reliever Jared Burton (2-3) took the loss.
A leadoff walk to Davis in the fourth inning came back to bite Gibson, as J.J. Hardy followed with a single and Paredes made it 1-0 with a ground-rule double to left-center. Gibson avoided the big inning though, stranding two runners by retiring three straight.
"That's a tough lineup to face," said Gibson. "They never give you a hitter off."
The lead quickly disappeared, with Minnesota pushing a run across a half inning later. Oswaldo Arcia came up with runners on the corners and one out and lifted a sacrifice fly to left, plating Joe Mauer.
Baltimore regained the lead in the home sixth on Paredes' two-out solo home run to left-center, but again the Twins tied the score their next time up.
Brian Dozier hit a leadoff single and moved to second when Andrew Miller (5-5), who replaced Tommy Hunter after the hit, had a wild pitch. Mauer's RBI single tied it before Miller struck out the side.
Davis gave the Orioles a final lead in the seventh, when his sac fly to center scored Adam Jones. Jones was hit by a pitch earlier in the inning.
Zach Britton struck out two during a 1-2-3 ninth to earn his 30th save.
Tillman did not lose in August, finishing 4-0 in six starts ... Tillman has
never beaten the Twins ... During the game, the Orioles acquired outfielder
Alejandro De Aza from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for minor league
pitchers Miguel Chalas and Mark Blackmar ... Minnesota went 1-for-12 with
runners in scoring position and stranded 11, while the O's finished 1-for-9
with RISP and left 10 on base.

In this Wednesday Oct. 8, 2008 file photo Russian billionaire banker Alexander Lebedev speaking during an interview in his house in Moscow. Alexander Lebedev, a Russian tycoon who has financed a newspaper critical of the Kremlin and supported the opposition, was charged over an incident during a TV talk show a year ago in which he punched another businessman, the country's top investigative agency said Wednesday.
MOSCOW — A Russian tycoon who has financed a newspaper critical of the Kremlin and supported the opposition has been charged with hooliganism and assault for punching a fellow billionaire during a television talk show. He dismissed the criminal case as politically motivated.
Russia's top investigative agency, which announced the charges Wednesday, said the defendant, Alexander Lebedev, cannot leave Moscow while the probe is under way. In Russia, filing charges marks the start of a criminal investigation, which may or may not lead to a trial.
Lebedev said in comments carried by the Interfax news agency that he considers the charges against him political and "completely made up."
He could face up to seven years in prison, if he's convicted on hooliganism charges similar to those that were filed against three members of the feminist rock band Pussy Riot. They were sentenced to two years each last month for performing a "punk prayer" against President Vladimir Putin inMoscow's main cathedral.
Putin has taken an increasingly tough course against dissent after massive protests against his rule last winter, with searches and interrogation of opposition activists and the passage of repressive bills.
Lebedev, whose net worth was reported by Forbes magazine to be $1.1 billion, made his money in the banking industry. He has financed the Novaya Gazeta newspaper, which is fiercely critical of the Kremlin, and the British papers the Independent and the Evening Standard.
Lebedev's son, Yevgeny, who owns the two British publications, tweeted that his father is "being targeted by people who don't like his stance against corruption, and hate Novaya." He later described the charges as "extraordinarily disproportionate."
"My father has been targeted because of his determination to fight against corruption and to be a crusader for democracy in a country where this has not always been welcome," Lebedev's son said in a statement. "I really hope that this does not presage a new phase of crackdowns on those who speak out against injustice."
The tycoon had said last month that he was being forced to sell his assets because of pressure byRussia's Federal Security Service, the main KGB successor agency. He said the pressure was rooted in corruption investigations by Novaya Gazeta, alleging that some of the service's officers were involved in corruption.
Lebedev and former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev own a 49 percent stake in the newspaper, while the remaining shares are controlled by Novaya's staffers.
Novaya Gazeta's relentless criticism of the Kremlin, and its investigations into official corruption, have put many of its journalists under fire. Four of the paper's reporters have been killed since 2000, including Anna Politkovskaya, a fierce critic of the Kremlin and its policies in Chechnya. She was gunned down in the elevator of her Moscow apartment building in 2006. Others have been harassed and physically attacked.
Lebedev has also supported Alexei Navalny, a charismatic anti-corruption crusader and blogger who was a key driving force against massive protests last winter against Putin's rule. Lebedev, a KGB veteran like Putin, so far has avoided blaming the president for his woes, pointing the finger at security services for the campaign against him.
Lebedev's lawyer, Genri Reznik, told Interfax that the newly announced charges come as a "punishment for Lebedev's social activities, his fight against corruption, his funding of an opposition newspaper and support for Navalny."
Lebedev owns the National Reserve Bank and has a stake in Russian flag carrier Aeroflot as well as his own Red Wings airline.
The charges refer to a September 2011 incident during which Lebedev punched property developer Sergei Polonsky during a TV show, sending him tumbling to the ground.

I'm sorry for selling my story, says Iran hostage Mr Bean

Seaman Batchelor came under fire for cashing in by selling his tale to the tabloid press.
He claimed the cash he was paid would barely pay for his driving test, although colleague Faye Turney is thought to have pocketed up to £100,000.
The 20-year-old's apology came as Defence Secretary Des Browne admitted his decision to allow the former hostages to sell their stories to the media was wrong.
Conservative leader David Cameron demanded an inquiry into the "calamitous" decision.
Mr Browne said of the controversial move: "Responsibility for that rests with me. I knew about the decision. A note indicating the decision and the anlysis of the regulations that supported that decision came into my office on Thursday and early on Friday afternoon one of my officials took me through that."
The controversey came on the day the bodies of Private Eleanor Dlugosz and Second Lieutenant Joanna Dyer, a close friend of Prince William's, were repatriated. The two female soldiers were killed in Iraq last week, along with two of their male colleagues.
Relatives of soldiers killed in Iraq criticised Mr Browne's admission and said he should have anticipated the furore the decision caused and called on him to put a blanket ban on all serving military personnel speaking to the press.
Reg Keys, whose son Thomas was one of six members of the Royal Military Police killed by an Iraqi mob in June 2003, said: "I do applaud Des Browne for his honesty in taking responsibility but I don't accept this phrase 'with hindsight'. When people use those words it's seen as failed forethought."
Seaman Batchelor has also admitted he "let the Royal Navy down" and "disappointed his comrades" by selling his story to the media.
He said he would not have accepted the money had he known the MoD would later reverse its decision to allow the hostages to be paid to talk to the press.
Speaking to the Plymouth Evening Herald newspaper, he said: "To be honest, I feel a bit strange about the situation. One minute they're (the MoD) are telling us we can, and the next they're saying 'no more'."
Seaman Batchelor's claim that he cried himself to sleep after his Iranian captors likened him to the comedy character Mr Bean made him a laughing stock.
One serving soldier posted: "Batchelor didn't do the reputation of servicemen much good either! Being broken by being called Mr Bean FFS! - that must be on a par with Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition and the comfy cushions."
Comments left on unofficial forces' websites, the Rum Ration and the British Army Rumour Service laid into Ms Turney and Mr Batchelor.
Another servicemen says of Mr Batchelor's complaint that his iPod was stolen by the Iranians: "What I wish to know is why a young lad on a boarding party detail needed to take his iPod? If he listened to The Ride of the Valkyries as he sped towards the target ship, what did he listen to on his trip to Iran?"
In response others on Rum Ration suggest: "Crying by Don McLean, perhaps?, The Beat Surrender, Always Look On The Bright Side Of life? and Onward Christian Soldiers."
Another contributor said of Ms Turney, who sold her story to the Sun: "Made me squirm when she said 'President of Iran gave me a toy doll for my daughter and am keeping it after the bomb disposal experts cleared it'.
"Believe me dear, the Iranians don't need to get any more publicity from blowing up you or anyone else ... you're providing all the publicity for them for free."
Another angry contributor wrote: "They should be expelled from the Armed Forces. Maybe HMS Cornwall could make a series like The Loveboat or be used for Big Brother? The Royal Navy seems intent on becoming a complete laughing-stock."
In his latest interview with the Daily Mirror, Mr Batchelor, the youngest of the 15 sailors, said he saw the money as small compensation and complained he could not afford to buy a car.
"I'm really hurt by all the criticism. People think I'm some kind of millionaire now, dining out on lobster and champagne - but I'm not. The money I've received will simply pay for a few driving lessons. I'm not sure it will cover the cost of an actual test, let alone a car.
"I see the payment more as compensation for spending the time telling the story to reporters when I should have been out with my family and friends. But it was important that the world heard about what I went through."
Ms Turney received an estimated £60,000 for selling the story of her time as a captive to The Sun and Tonight With Trevor MacDonald.
A poll on the Rum Ration website has 92 per cent of members agreeing that Mr Batchelor was "wrong to sell his story". Warmonger posts: "Let's face it irrespective of wherever she (Turney) goes this will hang around her neck like the proverbial albatross for a long time yet to come! Jade Goody would hand back her BB contestant fee for the chance to have her time in the house again.
"The Iranians might be a bunch of s****, but they seem much better at handling the propaganda machine. If the fuss gets any more intense they'll probably wish they were back in their cells."
BTDT posts on the Army Rumour Service: "I see no reason why they should not be allowed to sell their stories. I do, however, believe that they should be required to leave the service first."

DEFINITION of 'Article 9'
An article under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) that governs secured transactions. Article 9 encompasses a wide variety of possessory liens and determines the legal right of ownership if a debtor does not meet his or her obligations.
In 2002, Article 9 was revised to substantially modernize and expand the scope of what can be used as collateral to include credit card receivables, electronic chattel paper, accounts receivable and business inventory.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Article 9'
Although Article 9 goes into great detail to incorporate the many loans secured by various types of collateral, there are still many disputes over who has ownership priority of an asset subject to a security interest transaction.
For example, suppose that George brings his computer to be serviced by Mike. Upon completing the repairs, George does not have the funds to pay Mike. In this case, Article 9 states that Mike may keep the computer until payment is received.

Homicide in Auckland's Half Moon Bay
Relevant offers
A 24-year-old man has died of knife wounds in his East Auckland house while another man with knife wounds has crashed his car into the side of a house but is expected to survive, police say.
Detective Inspector Jim Gallagher told Fairfax Media that they have opened a homicide investigation into the death of the man in his home at Fiesta Drive in Half Moon Bay at 11.30 pm yesterday.
They've connected it to the car which crashed soon after the death 3.5 kilometres away in Gossford Drive, Pakuranga
"It is a link because we believe the driver of the car and the deceased are known to each other," Gallagher said.
"We believe a knife is involved....
"There is nothing to suggest any one else at this early stage is involved," he said.
Gallagher said the dead man's body remained in the house for forensic examination while the police were considering a number of theories, including whether the knife injuries on the man in the car were self inflicted.
He says the man was driving a distinctive two door 1996 Mitsubishi Mirage Sport and police wanted to hear from anybody who saw it between 9.30pm to 11pm between Half Moon Bay, Pakuranga and Botany Downs.
"It was a significant crash in terms of the car taking out a lamp post and then collided with a deck part of the house," Gallagher said.
The man found in the car wreck is in Middlemore Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.
Anyone who has information that will assist them is asked to call Counties Manukau Police on 09 261 1300 or call Crime Stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 and refer to Operation Katy.

UMass Memorial nurses protest staffing cuts with letter, rally
Send this to a friend

- Reporter- Boston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Union nurses at UMass Memorial Health Center and HealthAlliance Hospital issued a letter to hospital administrators this morning, urging administrators to meet over layoffs that nurses say have created unsafe patient conditions.
The letter, hand-delivered after a press conference and rally in front of UMass Memorial's corporate offices, by nurses in the Massachusetts Nurses Association appeals to administrators to rescind staff cuts that have rippled throughout the financially struggling UMass Memorial system.
"We nurses believe (the cuts) are degrading the quality and safety of care for every patient entering the UMass Memorial/Health Alliance system," nurses wrote in the letter to UMass Memorial CEO Eric Dickson. "We urge you to meet with a delegation of our union leadership as soon as possible to begin a real dialogue on how we can begin the process of reversing the changes you have made to ensure the safety of the patients and communities we are entrusted to serve through our work together."
In an emailed statement to the Boston Business Journal, hospital officials said, "we are committed to maintaining appropriate staffing levels to provide the high level of care that our patients need, expect and deserve every day."
Furthermore, staff said in a statement that they valued the contributions that all nurses and caregivers give to the hospital, and that the hospital provides "outstanding care that we are recognized for both locally and nationally."
Layoffs and consolidations have been ongoing within the UMass Memorial system following a $55 million operating loss recorded in the last fiscal year.

Editorial: Seattle teachers, district should consider community group's ideas
Labor talks between Seattle Public Schools and its unions are private. Seattle community groups should still try and influence the discussion.
Seattle Times Editorial
A COALITION of community groups should help shape Seattle Public Schools and teacher contract talks that begin next week.
Parents and community members have no official role. Labor negotiations are conducted behind closed doors, but their results have far-reaching public implications. That's why the two dozen organizations that make up Our Schools Coalition are right to ask negotiators to seriously consider a set of thoughtful ideas for raising student achievement.
Among the coalition goals:
• More training for teachers working with students learning English. More than 129 foreign languages are spoken in Seattle's public schools. It is a testament to rich diversity and a challenge for teaching. A good model can be found in South King County where teachers in the Highline, Tukwila and Kent school districts are benefiting from a training partnership with Heritage University.
• Discipline alternatives to out-of-school suspensions. A federal investigation into Seattle Public Schools' disproportionate use of suspensions and expulsions of black, Latino and Native American students amplifies the coalition's call for improving discipline strategies.
• Summer programs. Many students lose academic skills and knowledge over summer vacation. Low-income students, who are least likely to have access to summer camp, would benefit from district-led summer programs.
No one should be surprised that parents and education advocates are closely following labor talks. Embedded in teacher contracts are work conditions and rules with a direct impact on academic outcomes. Quality instruction may not be written into the contract but the circumstances that lead to good teaching provide a contract's foundation. This is a useful exercise for other districts.
Workplace conditions that help foster a top-notch educational system is something teachers unions have pushed for. Good to have everyone on the same page.
Some things on the list might be greeted more warmly by one side. Union leaders likely agree with the coalition's call for more professional development, career advancement and compensation opportunities.
The coalition was successful three years ago when it successfully pushed for evaluations that allow the district's 3,000 or so teachers to be evaluated in part on how well their students do.
Whatever the outcome, the community coalition's insertion into the dialogue enriches the conversation.
More goals can be found at ourschoolscoalition.org//

2nd Calif. county votes for secession
Updated On: Sep 24 2013 03:39:50 PM PDT
A second far Northern California county has voted to secede from the state after Modoc County supervisors voted 4-0 in favor of secession.
The vote on Friday comes just weeks after neighboring Siskiyou County voted for secession.
Modoc County Board Chairwoman Geri Byrne said she put the secession measure forward after hearing support for the idea from people in her district.
"We're not saying we're seceding today, we're saying let's look into it," Byrne said.
The goal is to form a separate state called Jefferson that would also include parts of Southern Oregon. The idea for the state goes back to the 19th century.
Many of the residents of the rural counties along the Oregon-California border have long felt that those in the urban halls of power in both states ignore their needs.
Nearly 40 people turned out for the meeting, Byrne told the newspaper, which amounted to a standing-room only crowd in Modoc's county chambers. Modoc County has a population of about 9,300 people; Siskiyou has more than 44,000.
A group spearheading the secession effort said the goal is to get a dozen counties to commit before asking California's legislators to allow the formation of a new state. The U.S. Congress would also have to approve such a move.
"California is essentially ungovernable in its present size," Mark Baird, a spokesman for the Jefferson Declaration Committee, said. "We lack the representation to address the problems that affect the North State."

Budget shortfall delays computer upgrade
|| Print |
|Must Reads
|Friday, January 13, 2012
The Oregon Department of Revenue's planned $92 million computer upgrade is on hold because the state can't afford the $13 million in startup costs.
"Our judgment was this project was not going to compete very well against human services programs, public safety programs and other places where cuts already are being contemplated," [state Chief Operating Officer Michael] Jordan said. "It's really a cash-flow issue and a set of priorities the Legislature is going to have to be dealing with in February."
The computer system is responsible for processing $7 billion a year and 94 percent of Oregon's general fund revenue, but officials are not confident in its effectiveness.
The agency's ability to collect taxes rests on a "myriad of disparate, aging software applications and databases," according to a 96-page business analysis the Department of Revenue produced in 2010.
