NBC Not Moving Forward with WIZARD OF OZ Series
NBC is cancelling its trip to Oz.
According to Deadline, the network has chosen not to move forward with its WIZARD OF OZ-themed series EMERALD CITY, despite a straight to series order.
A reimagining of the Frank L. Baum classic and based on the 14-book series that first created the wonderful - and treacherous - Land of Oz, "Emerald City" is a dramatic and modern reimagining of the tales that include lethal warriors, competing kingdoms, and the infamous wizard as we've never seen him before. A head-strong 20-year-old Dorothy Gale is unwittingly sent on an eye-opening journey that thrusts her into the center of an epic and bloody battle for the control of Oz.
'EMERALD' came from writers Matt Arnold and Josh Friedman, who were also to have served as executive producers.

Mark McGhee named as new Bristol Rovers manager
Wednesday 18 January 2012
Mark McGhee has been named the new manager of npower League Two strugglers Bristol Rovers, the club have confirmed.
The 54-year-old, who had spells in charge of English clubs Reading, Leicester, Wolves, Millwall and Brighton, has been out of management since leaving Aberdeen in December 2010.
McGhee, who has signed a two-and-a-half-year contract, takes charge of a Pirates side that is currently 18th in the table and succeeds Paul Buckle, who was sacked following a 2-0 defeat at Barnet at the start of the month.
"Over time the minimum they should expect is not to be in this division," McGhee said.
"Even in their present form they should consider themselves capable of being in at least the First Division.
"Beyond that the coming of a new stadium will hopefully bring even greater times. That's a part of why I'm here - I see a project, it's not just a case of me coming here and firefighting. There's a future here.
"There's a really exciting future possibly for the club and I'm delighted to be a part of it."
Chairman Nick Higgs was delighted to get his man, insisting McGhee was "streets ahead" of any other candidate.
"I think we're very fortunate to have Mark here. The calibre of candidates we had this time even excelled the calibre we had last time, but Mark was streets ahead of anybody else," he said.
"If you were fortunate enough to attend the interviews that we had, we finally had three candidates out of a shortlist of a number and Mark sold himself very, very well.
"He showed that he's not coming here for just a stepping stone to get back into his career, he wants to come and rebuild the club and go forward.
"We've reached a low ebb and we need to move forward and it was a very impressive interview.
"I liked what I heard about his training regimes and the way he conducts non-matchdays with players and I thought it was incredibly impressive."

The result of the move request was: Previous move in error: returned, per request. Moonraker12 (talk) 10:43, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
Cyrrhus, Turkey → Cyrrhus, Syria – As the site is actually in Syria I do not understand why on this english and only page of wikipedia it appears on its wrong location. Please correct this unbeliveable incredible error. 23:54, 6 November 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeanine AM (talk • contribs) 23:54, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
- Can you provide reliable sources to back up which side of the modern border the site is actually on? I've had a search but the results are confusing to say the least. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 15:50, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- According to the Google map on this site, assuming it's accurate, the site is just on the Syrian side of the border (you need to zoom out several times). Station1 (talk) 17:25, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- I wouldn't even trust Google Maps to label Syria and Turkey the right way way round... 126.96.36.199 (talk) 10:17, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
- According to the Google map on this site, assuming it's accurate, the site is just on the Syrian side of the border (you need to zoom out several times). Station1 (talk) 17:25, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- Presumably, there must be some debate about whether this ancient city is in modern day Syria or Turkey (or we wouldn't be having this discussion). I would suggest Cyrrhus, Greater Syria because that was the nation that this city actually existed in. Jenks24 (talk) 23:47, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
- Not necessarily. The title was moved from Syria to Turkey last Jan with the edit summary "Geographical fact" but no evidence. Every source I see says it's in Syria near the Turkish border. But to avoid the issue the article could also be moved to simply Cyrrhus, with a hatnote to Kyrros Macedonia per WP:TWODABS. Station1 (talk) 06:32, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
- Move to Cyrrhus Unnecessary disambiguation. We don't have articles at Ankara, Turkey or Damascus, Syria. Kauffner (talk) 07:45, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
- I would support the requested move.
- The archaeological project website that Station1 found seems pretty convincing, and the satellite picture is clear enough. I also notice that the project leader there is listed in the references here as a reliable source, so I'd guess they know what they are talking about. I found a couple of web pages that say the same thing (I've added them as external links) and sorted out some co-ordinates (also added).
- AFAICS There doesn't seem to be any good reason why it was moved in the first place; I've posted to the editor who moved it for an explanation.
- Also I'd support the move as requested, rather than to a new title; either move involves a deletion, and it makes more sense to go back to the original title than to delete the dab page. Moonraker12 (talk) 15:31, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
- Comment I'd like to point out the editor who moved the page has now moved it back; honest mistake! can we consider the matter closed? Moonraker12 (talk) 13:24, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The Clinton County Historical Museum in Plattsburgh, NY, has recently put on display the autograph album of Phebe M. Calkins, daughter of Turner Calkins and Lydia Allen of Peru, NY. Instead of signatures, the album has little hair wreaths made of her relatives' hair. There are over 60 hair wreaths of people who were in her family in the mid 1800s. Maybe you share DNA with some of the "autograph" donors. It's a fascinating piece of history.

But killing the Irish economy in order to make a point about the consequences of electing crooks and liars to high office is overkill and collective punishment. What about the Irish citizens who were shouting bloody murder about their corrupt and in-bred politicians? They'll be punished too if the economy goes into the crapper.

Austerity can only be implemented in the shadow of a concentration camp.
No, it does not. Bondholders should be given haircuts in order of their importance for the productive economy, and in a manner that is distributionally reasonable. Widows and orphans should be protected. Bankers should lose their shirts.
True. But you cuold say the same about Labour in Ireland.
After sabotaging the SPD/Linke coalition in NRW for absolutely no gain?
After preferring a Grand Coalition over an SPD/Linke coalition at the federal level?
No, not really.

West-Murphy Day 8: Al Sharpton's office getting involved
Updated On: Nov 13 2012 06:07:00 PM EST
St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker said she won't back down if state officials get involved in the still-undeclared race between Allen West and Patrick Murphy, but she might have other visitors now.
A release issued by the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network late Tuesday afternoon indicated that representatives from his local office will speak at a press conference Wednesday "to call for a mechanical and hand re-count of the ballots in ... the West/Murphy race."
LOOKING BACK: Election Night -- WPBF Behind The Scenes
The NAN release said it will look into what it calls "charges of voter suppression and intimidation."
Protesters numbered several dozen outside Walker's office on Tuesday. She said at a late-afternoon news conference that she won't budge.
"I welcome them here," she said. "I didn't request them to come. The state can come; I welcome them. "
Protesters fear their votes haven't been counted
Earlier Tuesday, Ann Daly's walker was adorned with at least four American flags. With her patriotism on full display, the St. Lucie County resident was convinced her early vote for Allen West for Congress was not counted.
"I'm here because of the fraud going on," Daly said. "I want my vote counted."
Dozens of protesters marched and shouted outside the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Office on Tuesday. Most were angry that only three days of early votes were recounted Sunday; many would like to see them all counted again.
An unofficial result shows political newcomer Patrick Murphy with a thin lead over West for the newly-drawn District 18.
"There were uncalled for increases, a shift from him winning by a couple thousand votes, to him losing by a couple thousand votes in a matter of a few hours," said Pam Wohlschlegel, a Tea Party leader in Palm Beach County.
The St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections, Gertrude Walker, indicated she will be making a statement at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.

If you're looking for a 4G LTE smart phone on budget, BenQ's value for money 4G LTE smart phones are even more affordable with its year end promo. The BenQ F5 and BenQ T3 smart phones are getting extra RM100 off and they come bundled with additional free screen protector and casing.
The BenQ F5 which used to be priced at RM799, can be yours for only RM699 while its entry-level BenQ T3 has been reduced from RM599 to RM499. The BenQ T3 is probably the most affordable 4G LTE smart phone right now, undercutting the Oppo Neo 5 that's priced at RM598. Despite its low RM499 price tag, the BenQ T3 gets a better 4.5″ display that pushes qHD (960×540) and a higher 8MP main camera which also supports Ultra-Sensitivity Low light mode. Powering the T3 is a proven 1.2GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 400 processor with 1GB of RAM and it is juiced up with a 1,900mAh capacity battery.
The BenQ F5 stands out for having a much generous 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage and a larger 2,500mAh capacity battery. That's quite a lot in comparison with other 5″ smart phones like the ASUS ZenFone 5 and Moto G 4G LTE edition.

Chinese smart phone manufacturers are usually slower than the rest when it comes to software updates. Xiaomi which is trying to expand internationally would definitely need to step up their software game if they plan to take on its bigger rivals. In an interview with Hugo Barra, who was the face of Android previously, says that upgrading to the latest Android Lollipop would be his number 1 priority from a product perspective for its global business.
As MIUI is heavily customised with its own look and feel, the challenge is to consolidate Google's new Material Design with its own custom interface. Xiaomi's hi-end Mi devices would be getting Android 5.0 Lollipop by Q1 2015 as an MIUI 6 update. Meanwhile its affordable Redmi series will be getting it too but they can't give an exact timeline just yet.
The interview also shared Xiaomi's interest in Google's new Android One program of making affordable smart phones with stock Android OS. They definitely want to jump on board but it all depends on timing. Currently their main focus is to push 4G handsets in India and they recently launched the Redmi Note 4G over there.
It is the year end season and most people would be clearing their leaves ahead of 2015. If you're travelling abroad, Maxis is now offering unlimited voice calls made overseas when you subscribe to its RM38/day DataRoam pass at 25 selected countries. This is only applicable for MaxisOne Plan, MaxisOne Plan Lite, Business One Plan & Business One Plan Lite subscribers that currently enjoy limitless voice calls.
The 25 countries are Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, China, Czech, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Macau, Mexico, Norway, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, UK and USA. The unlimited voice call promo covers calls made back to Malaysia, current country and 3rd country. All you'll need is to subscribe to its DataRoam package by dialling *100#. According to its FAQ, if a call is being made before 12AM and ends after the DataRoam expiry, the voice call might be charged with standard voice call roaming rates. Take note that answering incoming calls while roaming is still chargeable. This unlimited roaming call offer expires on 31st December 2014.
With Maxis's worry free proposition, you'll be automatically connected to their Roaming telco partner at supported countries. This means you won't need to worry about connecting to the wrong foreign telco that might result bill shocks due to standard pay per use charges. In case you didn't know, Maxis also offers 4G LTE while roaming in Hong Kong, France, Taiwan, Brunei, Philippines, Japan and Korea. While DataRoam is listed as unlimited, there's a Fair Use Policy of either 250MB (selected 16 countries) or 50MB/day depending on country. There's no excess charge but speeds might be throttled.
For more information, visit Maxis's DataRoam promo page.
The Chinese smart phone makers are making headlines this year and we've seen OPPO, Xiaomi and mostly recently Meizu making their way to Malaysia. The OPPO N1 can be regarded as one of the early pioneers for selfie-centric smart phone thanks to its rotatable 13MP main camera. Most recently they have replaced it with a better and motorised version on the N3.
If you think that's cool, wait until you check out the Doov Nike V1, another Chinese smart phone that seems to mimic OPPO's camera approach.
HTC Malaysia will be announcing its new Desire EYE smart phone and portable Re Camera next Friday on 5th December. Both devices were announced earlier last month with great focus on imaging.
For starters, the Desire EYE is a selfie-centric device that comes with 13MP camera and dual-LED flash on both front and back. Despite its mid-range "Desire" name, the Desire EYE is on par with its flagship devices as it runs on a familiar 2.5GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 801 processor with 2GB of RAM, along with 16GB of on-board storage.
Also included is a microSD expansion slot, 4G LTE, NFC and WiFi 802.11ac. To capture moments in more situations, the Desire EYE is also water resistant with IPX7 rating (1 metre deep for 30 minutes). The battery is quite small though, at 2,400mAh capacity. Apart from its hardware, HTC has also introduced its EYE Experience on its camera app, that opens up new imaging possibilities. The HTC EYE Experience was recently rolled out to current HTC One M8 devices via OTA (over the air) update.
At the moment, the Desire EYE imported unit is being sold at RM1,759.

The OPPO N3 which was announced recently is finally open for pre-orders in Malaysia. The 5.5″ Selfie-centric device with its 16MP self-rotating camera is priced officially at RM2,098 and it will be available on New Year's day (1st January 2015).
Similar with their ultra-thin OPPO R5, they are giving extra freebies worth RM406 to those that place their RM100 booking deposit. For the first 3,000 OPPO N3 pre-orders, they are giving out a rapid car charger, screen protector and an O-Click 2.0 bluetooth remote which can be used to control the camera. The pre-order starts from today, 26th November until 20th December. You can place your RM100 booking deposit at their authorised outlets nationwide. The OPPO N3 is currently offered in white colour only.
Lenovo Malaysia has finally brought in its Vibe Z2 Pro, its flagship phablet that could take on the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Huawei Ascend Mate 7. The Vibe Z2 Pro is offered at RM2,299 and Lenovo is bundling a JBL E-40 Bluetooth headphone worth RM428. Earlier this month, the Vibe Z2 Pro was offered at RM2,199 for its grey import unit.
The Vibe Z2 Pro is quite a beast in both size and specs. The front gets a 6.0″ Quad HD display that pushes a highly dense 490ppi (pixels per inch) while underneath it is running on a 2.5GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974AC) processor with 3GB of RAM and has 32GB of storage which is non-expandable. Considering Quad HD resolution could take a hit on battery life, the Vibe Z2 Pro packs a massive 4,000mAh capacity battery but it still manages to be slim at just 7.7mm thick. Overall, it weighs a little bit heavier at 179 grams.
Honor Malaysia will be introducing its Honor 3C Lite smart phone, an affordable version of its cheap and cheerful Honor 3C. The retail price is listed at RM449 but VMall.my online store will be offering it for only RM399 when pre-order starts this Friday, 28th November 2014. As an added bonus, Honor is also giving 10 lucky buyers a chance to win a holiday trip to Langkawi.
To recap on the specs, the Honor 3C Lite retains most of the Honor 3C hardware which includes a 5″ HD 720p display, dual-SIM 3G capability, Quad-Core 1.3GHz MediaTek processor and a 8MP BSI main camera. Being a "Lite" device, it gets just 1GB RAM (Honor 3C: 2GB), a smaller 2MP front facing camera (Honor 3C: 5MP) and a 2,000mAh (Honor 3C: 2,300mAh) capacity battery.
On the flip side, you do get double the on-board storage at 16GB. For expansion, it also supports microSD cards up to 32GB and out of the box it runs on Android 4.4 KitKat along with its EMUI. For better peace of mind, the Honor 3C Lite is backed up with a 1 to 1 swap warranty within 180 days of purchase.
If you're interested, the pre-order will be happening at VMall.my at 10:00AM this Friday.
The Nexus 6 is a pretty big phablet that's backed up with top notch hardware inside. To find out how easy it is to repair, the folks at ifixit has managed to give the Nexus 6 its tear down treatment.
The non-removable back cover is held together in place with adhesive. After that, almost everything else is fasten together with typical T3 Torx screws and there are 22 of them. The battery and its wireless charging coil are glued on, making it tougher but not impossible to replace.
For its 13MP camera, it uses the popular Sony IMX214 Exmor RS camera that's assisted by Optical Image Stabiliser. For the screen, the digitiser is fused together with the front display making replacements a little more costly. Overall, iFixit gave the Nexus 6 a repairability score of 7 out of 10.
Check out the teardown video and step by step guide after the break.

The media has ignored the ongoing Kerala Venture Capital Summit 2008 in Trivandrum on 10th and 11th November. The visual media, including local and national channels, was conspicuous by their absence on the opening day of the Summit yesterday. The attendance from the print media was also abysmally low. This was unexpected as Kerala is considered one of the best tech hubs.
For UK resident Indian techie Farahad Zama, this is the manifestation of a childhood hobby and the continuation of a family activity (his father is an author). This Vizag born IIT Kharagpur alumni wrote 'A marriage Bureau for Rich People' during his lonely commute to reduce the stress he felt in his job when he made the change over from writing programs to managing people.
The IBS in Technopark, Trivandrum; one of the most reputed companies here, issued quite a few pink slips in the last week of October, ostensibly as a routine measure after the annual performance appraisal. Media reports say that the laid off personnel were informed individually and offered 2 months salary as compensation.
One of India's most respected companies, IBM Global Services Pvt. Ltd, organised a walk in drive on 24th October 2008 with a difference. This was a recruitment drive open only to women candidates. These positions were for both the software and their BPO services based on different skill sets. Substantial bonuses were given to IBMers who referred future employees.
IBM Global Services in Bangalore has come out with a new incentive scheme to motivate its employees, who have been with the organization for over three or four years now, and have been good performers. This scheme has been implemented in a US Based Sales Process first. Even as many IT companies are shedding staff and reducing salaries, IBM seeing a brighter future in India.
While the majority of Indian tech companies follow approved procedures to secure proper visas for their techies to work in USA, it is an open secret that some unscrupulous Indian firms are exploiting the system as well as their Indian employees. A recent US Government report found as many as 25 percent of all Indian H-1B visas had some misrepresentation or fraud.
Leading technology powerhouse Infosys launched a T-20 cricket tournament on Oct 15 for 24 Engineering colleges in Bangalore and Mysore. According to Infosys: "The event provides an opportunity for Infoscions to interact with prospective IT professionals with the aim of fostering team-work among them". With T-20s growing popularity this event would strengthen the company's relationship with the prestigious engineering colleagues in this region.
Aryans Infoway (www.aryansinfoway.com), a software company based in Technopark, Trivandrum has cheated its employees to the tune of Rs.6 crores. The modus operandi was fairly simple – every employee was made to deposit Rs.1 lakh each as 'share investment' in the company and so, with 600 recruits in the last three years, it was fairly easy money for the company's promoter.
American blog TechCrunch is one of the most powerful media organizations in the world. TechCrunch founder and CEO Michael Arrington is on first name basis with most senior managers of the top tech companies. In a record of sorts, last month TechCrunch had a million readers to its RSS feed which is more than the figures of the top 10 blogs in India combined together.
UK's biggest mortgage giant HBOS is making news due to an impending 12 billion pound takeover by Lloyds TSB as well as rumors that some Lloyd shareholders are resisting this alliance. But eleven top officials of HBOS including HBOS IT Director John Callan and head of IT sourcing Adam Warwick found time to fly to Bangalore, India to explore outsourcing tech jobs.

Some weeks back, news broke out that actress Stephanie Okereke was pregnant, but she quickly debunked the rumours.
The latest gist on Stephanie is that, she was spotted at a high profile event held recently in the industry, one glance at her revealed that she has added weight on strategic areas of her body. The one time slim babe now has a round and larger waisteline and swollen face.
As If this was not enough, she rejected a cup of Champagne presented to her by the Ushers.
I hope our guess is right this time.

Improved shooting could separate Iguodala
Updated: June 4, 2004, 1:48 PM ETBy Chad Ford | ESPN Insider
TREVISO, Italy -- Andre Iguodala continues to be the hot name in the draft. Insider reported a week ago that Iguodala was shooting the lights out at Hoops the Gym and that scouts were moving him up their draft boards. We moved him up to No. 3 in our mock draft, and by the looks of things, he may stay there.
Iguodala had two great workouts this week, for the Bulls and Bobcats. According to reports out of both gyms, he shot the lights out there, as well.

Class at the Capitol
SoVaNow.com / November 11, 2013
The ways of Washington, D.C. may be hard to fathom, but one Halifax County student is gaining first-hand exposure to national politics by serving as a Congressional intern during her senior year in high school.
Sophie Crowell, daughter of Andy Crowell of South Boston, found herself taking on an uncharacteristically heavy workload as an intern for Fifth District Congressman Robert Hurt (R-Chatham) during the recent federal government shutdown. While other members of the Congressman's office were on furlough, Crowell, an unpaid intern, remained on the job.
The News & Record caught up with the HCHS senior-in-Washington to ask her what it's been like learning the ropes on Capitol Hill:
News & Record: Tell us about your experiences during the government shutdown — since you were one of the few aides left on the job. Were you surprised to be one of the few people still working at the Capitol?
Sophie Crowell: Capitol Hill definitely was quieter once the shutdown began, but my work and the work done in our office never ceased. Our office remained open and was receiving calls. I work to help the Congressman and his staff on a daily basis by answering letters and phone calls from constituents and assisting with any research that needs to be done. As an unpaid intern, I was not surprised to still be working during the shutdown, but I'm very fortunate to be able to experience this very important moment in country's history just down the hall from where it's occurring.
N&R: How did your duties change with the shutdown? Did you feel sometimes like you'd gotten a promotion?
Crowell: My duties didn't necessarily change, but they increased in intensity. Communications to our office increased dramatically. Normally part of my job is to give tours of the Capitol to constituents, but staff-led tours had been canceled. It didn't really feel like I'd gotten a promotion, but it does feel as if I gotten the perk of being able to be on Capitol Hill when hundreds of others are asked not to come in.
N&R: Tell us a little bit about how you came to be a Congressional intern. How are you keeping up with school? Do you stay in touch with your friends and teachers at HCHS?
Crowell: Since I was then-state Sen. Hurt's page in the General Assembly in Richmond, I've kept in close contact with him and his office and asked about any opportunities I should take advantage of. He suggested that I apply for an internship in his Washington, D.C. office in either high school or college. This being my senior year, I needed to take four classes to graduate, so I decided to take all of them second semester and work during first semester. I was fortunate enough to have family that lives just outside of metropolitan D.C. while I'm here. I've kept in very close contact with my friends in Halifax and I certainly miss them! My friends and teachers have been super supportive, and I'm sure that my internship will help me with my government class next semester.
N&R: Before going to work in Washington, you served as a General Assembly page. How does the experience of working at the nation's Capitol differ from your stint at the Virginia legislature?
Crowell: Washington, D.C. is somewhat different from the General Assembly in Virginia. It's much more fast-paced and the topics are very diverse. Issues here obviously lean towards international issues. However, the legislative processes are nearly identical.
N&R: How did you get so interested in politics? Are you thinking about a career in public service?
Crowell: I've always been really interested in politics from simply watching the news with my dad from a young age, but I can honestly say that I never thought I would be interning for my congressman's office in Washington, D.C. I know I want to study Political Science in college, but I'm not sure exactly what I want to do yet.
N&R: Have you met any famous people in Washington? Speaker Boehner? Eric Cantor? President Obama?
Crowell: I haven't gotten to meet any "political celebrities" yet, but I did get to see Secretary of State John Kerry on his way to committee for discussions on the United States taking military action in Syria. I also have seen Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, and Rep. Paul Ryan from the House Gallery while I was giving a tour of the Capitol.
N&R: Who is a person in public life that you admire, and why?
Crowell: A person I personally admire is President Ronald Reagan. He was, and still is, someone that people on both sides of the aisle admired. He gave more responsibility that belonged to the states and the cities by dismantling federal programs. Reagan understood that Americans wanted freedom and would do well when more was given to them
N&R: We hear all the time that young people are disengaged in politics, yet you helped to keep the Fifth District Congressional office running during an extraordinary time in recent American political history. Do you think that young people get a bad rap from their elders when it comes to their political involvement?
Crowell: I do think that young people get a bad rap in politics. We're constantly being told that we're too young to understand or that because we can't vote we can't make a difference. That couldn't be more untrue. The youth of American have such great computer skills and a much better comprehension of the effect that social media can have on elections and political office. In recent elections, the young people of America were almost the deciding factors. On Capitol Hill, most Congressional staffers are in their thirties or younger.
N&R: With the government back up and running, has life in the office gone back to normal?
Crowell: Life in the office is returning back to normal since the shutdown ended and we avoided breaching our debt limit. Everyone is back to work as we address the current problems and glitches with the Obamacare website.
N&R: When all this is over, what do you plan to tell the folks back home about the great American government shutdown of 2013?
Crowell: I will definitely say that it was something I'll never forget. Being on Capitol Hill at a time like this was bittersweet. It's very educational and interesting to follow, but affected hundreds of thousands of Americans across the country and more importantly, in our district.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
More Logic To Calls

Add Montreal Canadiens coach and general manager Bob Gainey to the list of people who approve of the National Hockey League's revamped officiating approach. "I thought that the consistency, and being able to judge what the officials are doing, got better as the year went on," said Gainey. "Now I see that there's more incidental contact that's not being called a penalty -- and shouldn't be. There's more forgiveness if two guys are fighting for the puck and somebody's legs come out from underneath him. "I see a little more logic in their decisions in those areas."continued

(Beirut) - Bahrain's failure to release political prisoners or hold accountable high officials responsible for torture, and its escalating campaign to silence human rights defenders, exposes the government&${esc.hash}39;s fraudulent claims that it is carrying out promised reforms, Human Rights Watch said today in its World Report 2013. In 2012, authorities jailed human rights defenders for participating in peaceful demonstrations and criticizing officials, arbitrarily revoked the citizenship of dozens of opposition political activists, and frequently used excessive force to suppress peaceful protests, as well as those in which demonstrators threw rocks and Molotov cocktails. The government shelved the key November 2011 recommendations of an independent commission to address gross human rights abuses during the punishing repression of the largely peaceful mass demonstrations of early 2011. "Unfortunately, 2012 was the year that Bahrain's ruling family showed it prioritizes repression over reform," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "This year the government needs to act on its reform rhetoric by setting free all peaceful protesters, including the protest leaders still serving long prison terms for exercising their right to free speech and peaceful assembly." In its 665-page report, Human Rights Watch assessed progress on human rights during the past year in more than 90 countries, including an analysis of the aftermath of the Arab uprisings. The willingness of governments to respect rights will determine whether the Arab uprisings will give birth to genuine democracy or authoritarianism in new clothes, Human Rights Watch said. Throughout 2012, the authorities regularly rejected demonstration permit requests from opposition groups and, in October, issued a two-month ban on demonstrations. According to opposition groups, at least 25 protesters and bystanders died in protest-related injuries in 2012. At least 15 of the deaths have been attributed to excessive or unlawful use of teargas. At least two security officers died of injuries from a Molotov cocktail attack, and the government said that clashes with anti-government protesters injured 1,500 policemen in 2012. On August 16, a criminal court sentenced Nabeel Rajab, president of the Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR), to three years in prison for organizing and participating in three demonstrations between January and March. In December, the Court of Appeal upheld the verdicts on most of the charges but reduced his sentence to two years. Security forces in December arrested Sated Yusuf al-Muhafadha, acting vice president of the BCHR, and prosecutors charged him with "disseminating false news" for allegedly posting on his Twitter account a photograph of an injured protester shot during an anti-government demonstration in Manama. He was released on January 17, 2013 pending trial. The government has also placed new restrictions on freedom of association. On November 30, 2011, a few days after the Bahraini Lawyers' Society elected new board members critical of government policies, the Social Development Ministry cancelled the election results. In July 2012, an administrative court ordered the dissolution of the opposition Islamic Action Association (Amal) after the Justice Ministry accused it, among other things, of failing to "convene a general conference for more than four years." In November 2011, the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry (BICI), appointed by King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, concluded that Bahrain's security forces operated within a "culture of impunity" during the suppression of the 2011 protests. The BICI said that the abuses "could not have happened without the knowledge of higher echelons of the command structure" of the security forces, and called for independent and impartial investigations into allegations of abuses. The government said it investigated allegations of wrongdoing involving more than 120 officers. However, most of the prosecutions involved low-ranking officers and did not include high-ranking officials or any Bahrain Defense Forces personnel. Human Rights Watch has been able to determine that courts have convicted four officers accused in the deaths of two protesters and the permanent disabling of another, and have acquitted at least three. In 2012, the government severely restricted Human Rights Watch's ability to visit Bahrain and report on rights violations, permitting only a very brief visit in April 2012. On January 7, 2013, the Court of Cassation upheld the convictions and lengthy prison terms of 13 prominent dissidents, including life imprisonment for seven defendants, solely for exercising their rights to free expression and peaceful assembly in the 2011 protests. "In 2012, the government shifted from talking about reforms to silencing critical voices, banning demonstrations, and restricting access to independent journalists and rights organizations," Stork said. "These actions thoroughly discredit claims by Bahraini authorities of respecting human rights."

Russia: Five gay rights protesters detained following Red Square demonstration
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
The more demos held in Moscow and elsewhere in Russia will surely be embarassing for their government. The rest of the world will laugh in Russia's face at their desperate attempts to stifle LGBT people in the Federation.
Whether it's Putin or the school yard bully, don't they have a clue that the rest of the world's onlookers are thinking, "Really? You feel these Gay people are a threat? Let's go kick some puppies while we're at it; they all have that evil glare in their eyes." When left alone, we Gays are not starting wars over oil, imprisoning people over mere words, or polluting natural resources for a few extra rubles passed under the table. Stopping parades and telling kids we don't exist when it's all around them (33% of any population are friends or related to someone Gay), is so 1950's. From the photos, and all of this Putin paranoia, it appears he wants to be the only Gay person in the country. It'd be much easier if he stole a line from Arnold in "Torch Song Trilogy"… "Let's get one thing straight first. A: I want children and B: if anyone asks: I'm the pretty one."
I'm an onlooker and I congratulate Russia for standing up for its morals.
Why has Britain not officially withdrawn from the Winter Olympics in protest against this fascist law?
The Ruissian dictatorship is threatening to jail LGBT foreigners if they come to Russia for the Winter OLympics.
The civilised world must withdraw from the Winter Olympics in the Russian dictatorship.
Banning the games would be a great idea on the human rights front, but I don't see it happen. Too many athletes really only have one shot at Olympic gold and then there are their sponsors, etc. It's all about the money.
But it would be good, the Sochi Games are by far the most expensive Games in history, due to corruption and embezzlement, etc. – the usual Russian failure – at over $50bn and counting, and it would greatly irk the czar to have whole countries stay away from them on this homophobia issue. Alas, I don't think the pink dollar/euro is strong enough yet to push the issue.

Domino's Pizza U.K. and Ireland reported first quarter 2011 results Wednesday, which included an increase of more than 11 percent from last year's Q1.
The results, though positive, were still affected by difficult trading conditions in the Republic of Ireland, which slowed growth from the company's nearly 20 percent increase in 2010 year-end numbers.
Domino's also said it is facing challenging comparatives for the rest of the year, but added that the business is well placed for further strong growth.
Highlights from Q1 include:
"We are glad to be reporting a good performance in the U.K. The overall group numbers were, however, held back by the very difficult trading environment in the Republic of Ireland, which contributes 7.4 percent of our system sales," said Chris Moore, CEO of Domino's U.K. and Ireland.
Online sales continued to be a boon for the company, accounting for 39.3 percent of the United Kingdom's delivery sales in the first quarter, compared to 28.8 percent last year. Total online sales for Q1 increased 62.9 percent.
Looking ahead, the company plans on opening 60 new stores in 2011.
"We are up against some very challenging comparatives for the rest of the year, especially in the second quarter," Moore said. "However, with the management team that is in place, the ideas flowing through the business, new sites in the pipeline and our ever improving operational gearing, the business is well placed for further strong growth this year."
Eyeing Ukraine growth
The United Kingdom/Ireland market isn't the only plan for growth. Domino's is looking to invest $9 million in the Ukraine within the next five years, according to Interfax.
This investment should translate into the opening of between 40 and 50 new units within that timeframe. Domino's Pizza Ukraine is directed by Andriy Romanenko.
Currently there are two Domino's pizzerias in Kyiv, Ukraine.

All the people that piss and moan about Wladimir Klitschko...
Are gonna be the same people that will piss and moan about there not being a heavyweight champion after Wlad retires. When Wlad retires with the belts, we go back to having a half dozen "title holders". Wladimir is the first 5 belt heavyweight champion, and a damn good one. 56-3 with 49 KO's aint bad, and I do find him very exciting. I like watching Wlad beat the **** outta someone for 8 rounds or so before he knocks them out. And Wlad has ducked no one, he's cleaned out the division. He represents our sport in a great way to. What more you do you people want from the man????????

good thread
we want fighters to unify their division
we want fighters to clean out their divisions
we want fighters to accept and throw out challenges
we want fighters to win convincingly
Wlad does all that and people always complain
the guy's a huge HW, he can't have every fight be a barnburner
but he usually stops his opponents
Wlad is underrated as hell

I don't piss and moan about Wladimir Klitschko...
I do have certain preferences though:
1) I prefer the #1 and 2 fighters in a division not to be brothers because they aren't going to fight each other.
2) I prefer the #1 and 2 not to strategically fight top 10 contenders based on which is the better matchup.
Other than that, it's not Wlad's fault that the majority of heavyweights are either overweight and/or lack talent, skill, and/or discipline to compete against them.

I never piss and moan about Wlad, but sometimes I have about the weak competition he had to face during his reign.

Wlad has fought the best opponents he can find, mostly his mandatories and other titleholders. Vitali has fought the best available at a given time.
Neither have ever ducked or avoided anybody.

Alex Smith and the San Francisco 49ers understand the value of taking a sack. Smith was sacked more than any other NFL quarterback last season and is on a pace to be dropped even more times this year. But that hasn't stopped the San Francisco offense from thriving during the team's 2-0 start. While Smith already has been sacked seven times, San Francisco's offense has yet to make a turnover and is averaging 363 yards per game - 155.5 yards more than the 49ers averaged after two games last season. But protecting both the football and their quarterback are primary concerns for the 49ers this week when they play the Minnesota Vikings, who tied for the NFL lead in sacks last season.
