Sergeant Marko Forss has been a police officer in Helsinki for 14 years. He is known as "Internet Police Officer Fobba." These days, he's also called Finland's Police Officer of the Year. He earned the honor for his work in social media, most notably investigating sex crimes involving young people. His selection as Police Officer of the Year was made by a board made up of members from the International Helsinki Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Finnish Police Federation and the National Police Board.
Forss (Fobba is his nickname) was investigating crimes involving youths when he realized that many began on an online social network called IRC-Galleria, a very popular social network in Finland, used by 60 percent of 13 – 17 year olds. In September of 2008 he opened a profile on the site and began his "online patrol". His page was clearly marked as that of a police officer.
During the first nine months, the profile had around 3,000-5,000 visitors a week. At the busiest week there were over 35,000 visitors. Additionally, 27,901 comments or questions from 8,073 different users appeared at the profile during these nine months. At the profile diary "data bank", there were 3,039 questions and comments from 1,354 different users within the same time frame. Only registered users were counted. Almost all questions were answered, but sometimes it has been too busy to respond to every inquiry. The pictures and diary can be seen also without page registration. The official police department website has a web page as support for the IRC-Galleria police profile. This page received 46,331 hits in eight and half months.
Like other social media police pioneers, Forss experienced resistance at first and found that he had to prove the worth of his work before supervisors understood its value. "Of course some of my colleagues were doubting that this is really a job that police should do. In the first fifteen months I received 38,000 messages and started several investigations trough IRC-Galleria so nobody can say that it didn't work. After a couple of months my boss let me focus 100% to my work in social media." Shortly thereafter, because of a school shooting which had been leaked online, the Ministry of the Interior decided to fund more officers to monitor the Internet and Forss' group has since grown to three, with still others doing undercover work online. His team works full-time in social media and his colleagues are no longer doubting the value of what his team does. But, like all who work online, he has to stay nimble. His work has turned more and more to Facebook as the popularity of IRC-Galleria is shrinking.
While most Internet sex crimes go unreported, Forss said more are coming to the attention of police because of online tools and adds "It has become clear that visible and approachable police profiles lower the level to contact the police in very unpleasant issues". Of several success stories, he points to one which he feels would never have been reported if it weren't for his online work. It involved the rape of a teenage runaway in Helsinki that occurred in 2006 but wasn't reported until two years later. She contacted Forss through the IRC-Galleria. His investigation lead to the discovery of 17 photos of her on the suspect's computer. The accused and convicted man was a 51 year old fellow police officer.
Forss doesn't doubt he's having an impact with his social media investigations. He stated, "I know I have helped a lot of people in the past four years and that's why I can say that I have had a bigger impact in my work in social media in four years than in those nine years that I worked as a uniformed police officer. So I wouldn't underestimate the power of policing in social media!" In fact, he said with cyberbullying issues, it's sometimes enough to give the bullier, youth or adult, a virtual warning, "usually that stops the bullying because normal people want to avoid police investigation", he added.
Sergeant Forss has some advice for agencies that want to start a social media program. His advice is that the best officer for the job isn't necessarily the most technically-savvy. "Everybody can learn the IT-skills but you don't learn the social and policing skills from books."
Forss and his team are spreading their expertise well beyond their own department. Their work has inspired other agencies, even outside of Finland, to begin their own social media programs. He's also developing a wiki-based social media handbook to include policy and procedural guidelines and he's hopeful that one day soon more police officers will use social media in the course of their investigations rather than it being just a specialty of a few officers.

Weather Averages for Disneyland in September
Averages for Disneyland in September
September still has much of the warm weather of the summer, but the temperatures are beginning to drop in this month, with less sunshine seen, making the heat much more bearable.
The lower temperatures mean the weather can be much more pleasant, and many people prefer to visit the area at this time of the year, as the weather is much more comfortable than in the peak months of the summer.
September is still one of the busiest times of the year at the resort, so you may still face crowds at the most popular rides.
The average daily temperature in Disneyland during this month is 17°C, which can reach highs of 21°C (70°F), or drop to an average minimum temperature of 12°C (54°F).
Disneyland sees on average 55 mm over 13 days of rain fall during this time.
6 hours of sunshine per day are seen on average in Disneyland during this month.
September is still part of Disneyland's summer season, meaning the special parades, events and festivities that are geared towards this time are still available for all the visitors.
Spare a thought for the people inside the Disney characters costumes, sweltering in their costumes, and have a picture taken with some of the famous faces.
For an up close look at some of the world's most exciting stunts the Stunt Show Spectacular is a show that's not to be missed.
Davy Crockett's Adventure offers an educational tree top adventure, with sings, trapezes, ladders and rope bridges to explore above the ground.
The resort also offers both shopping and sport facilities to take advantage of for any time not spent on the rides.
Every day is ended with a fantastic fireworks display.

It's been four months since Breaux Bridge High School Sophomore Teddrick Lewis was on the football field. He went into cardiac arrest during a practice in May.
Teddrick is not playing ball anymore but Friday nights, he's back on the field with his team and he has his coaches to thank for it.
"Last thing I remember, I was on a helicopter," Teddrick recalled. "I was just hearing noise and breathing funny."
The Breaux Bridge sophomore collapsed on the field and became unresponsive. After that, his memory went hazy.
Coach Paul Broussard had just seconds to act.
"When we got to him, he was on his stomach so we rolled him over and our first thought was he was having a seizure," Coach Broussard said.
But it wasn't a seizure. Teddrick was going into cardiac arrest.
Coach Broussard's training immediately kicked-in as he started giving Teddrick CPR.
Another coach grabbed a portable defibrillator.
"It was hard to realize what had happened," Coach Broussard said of the situation.
Today, Teddrick can no longer play any contact sports, but that's not keeping him from being with the team and the coach who helped save his life.
"I'm always telling my coaches 'thank you for saving my life.'" Teddrick says, "without them, I wouldn't be here right now."
And Tedderick is not only thankful for his coaches but Breaux Bridge also walked away with a win Friday night at Comeaux High.

Book Review: Marian Shrines of France
August 15, 2013
The Marian Shrines of France covers the four major 19th century Marian shrines in France, Rue du Bac (1830), La Salette (1846), Lourdes (1858), and Pontmain (1871), and is relevant today, even in the 21st century, because many of the problems then afflicting humanity have only grown worse, and a genuine Marian devotion would seem to be the best safeguard for the Church as a whole in these troubled times.
It begins by putting the apparitions in their historical context, that is post-revolutionary France, and looks back at the rich Catholic history of this, the "eldest daughter of the Church." The situation at the beginning of the 19th century was not good, as anti-Christian forces, and particularly materialism, began to grow in strength, but along with great saints such as St John Vianney, and, at the beginning of the 20th century, St Thérèse, these four Marian apparitions, and particularly Lourdes, played a great part in keeping France Catholic.

The Yankees have played four games so far on their West Coast road trip. The first two were night games at 10PM East Coast time, and they lost both. The next two were day games at 4PM East Coast time, and they won both. Physiology's a fucker.
Dr Becca says
Poor Yankees….so sleeeeeepyyyyyy…..
drugmonkey says
maybe they need a staff consultant on physiology…..
The Common Man/www.platoonadvantage.com says
I don't know when they left NYC, but I assume it was from the ballpark after their afternoon win over the Blue Jays, which ended before 4:00. They would have had more than a day and a half to recover in Seattle, and are elite level athletes. This study (http://bit.ly/91yYrF) suggests that there is a slight effect over the course of the season (though I haven't seen their data and can't vouch for it), but given the extra time off they had, and the fact that these are elite-level athletes (with the exception of Bartolo Colon and Joba Chamberlain, of course), it wouldn't surprise me if the effect is negligible.
They may be suffering from an acute case of having to face Michael Pineda and Felix Hernandez with Ivan Nova and AJ Burnett. Before getting to Jason Vargas, and getting to use CC Sabathia. I have no explanation for what Colon did on Monday. That's just baseball.
Also, how can you be such a fucking communist and love the Yankees? Don't you just inherently hate yourself for the internal contradiction? Is it like when two comic book characters from separate timelines are forced into the same body and have to share the same headspace?
ginger says
Eh, a day and a half isn't enough time to recover from sleep disruption or to entrain to a three-hour difference in sunrise. The basic physiology isn't substantively altered by elite athlete status. Elite athletes might have higher absolute performance of tasks, and thus higher performance during fatigue periods, but when the task is competing against other less-fatigued elite athletes, the argument flops.
Yankees suck. But even the Evil Empire's suprachiasmatic nuclei function like those of the rest of humanity.

|Track 2 Consultation on Syria Held in Geneva
|By UPF-International
|Saturday, January 25, 2014
Geneva, Switzerland - UPF convened a special program entitled "Geneva: Track 2" in Geneva, Switzerland on Jan. 23-25, 2014, concurrent with the "Geneva II" inter-governmental conference that aims to bring about a peaceful resolution of the crisis in Syria. The theme for the consultation was "Toward Peace and Reconciliation in Syria: The Significance of Religion, Faith-Based Organizations and Civil Society."
The tragic and devastating consequences of the conflict war in Syria, both in terms of the loss of life and the millions of displaced persons, is giving rise to a humanitarian disaster of epic proportion. UPF applauds the efforts of the United Nations, the United States, Russia and the participating nations, and sought to offer support for the success of Geneva II.
Following the recommendations of the Amman resolution of October 2013 and the Jerusalem resolution of December 2013, UPF convened the Track 2 conference in Geneva, Switzerland, to assist the daunting task of the Geneva II talks on the Syrian conflict. The intention in convening a wide variety of spiritual and religious leaders, as well as academicians, civil society representatives, women and youth, was to supplement the "track 1" initiative of Geneva II, with a "track 2" program that underscored the need to engage religious and spiritual leaders, faith-based organizations and a variety of civil society organizations in the pursuit of peace.
The consultation included a high-level segment of faith leaders, academicians and other stakeholders who deliberated on the current crisis in Syria, including the wider geopolitical context, and considering the role which religion, civil society, women and faith-based organizations can play in restoring peace and order in Syria.

"Geneva: Track 2" Session I - From Amman, to Jerusalem, to Geneva: For Peace in Syria
Session 2 - Contribution of Civil Society and NGOs in support of the Peace Process in Syria
For videos of all sessions, click here.
The religious and NGO leaders from various countries supported international diplomatic effort to bring together representatives of the conflicting sides in Syria and encouraged the sides of the conflict to continue direct talks despite all difficulties the may face. They called on the participants In Geneva II to move towards implementation of the Geneva Communique and also reminded political and military leaders of the conflicting sides of their personal responsibility of adhering to basic human rights standards and human security needs of the civilian population in Syria.
The UPF Track 2 conference discussed a Seven-Point Forward Plan for Peace, Reconciliation and Humanitarian Reconstruction for Syria, which included, as follows:
Interfaith program at St. Peter's Cathedral
An interfaith program at St. Peter's Cathedral featured a variety of spiritual and religious voices, interfaith prayers for peace and artistic performances. The program was as follows:
Organ music
- Greetings by Emmanuel Rolland, pastor, and Dr. William McComish, pastor and president of the Geneva Spiritual Appeal
Oud music
- Reading in English of the Geneva Spiritual Appeal by M. Walter Gyger, ambassador of Switzerland.
Oud music
- Prayer in Arabic by Shi'ite Imam Sheik Mohamad Ali Al-Hajj, from Lebanon, translated into French
Oud music
- Prayer by Mme Danièle Bianchi, Baha'i community of Geneva
Organ music
- Collection of funds for the Union of Syrian Medical Relief Organizations (www.uossm.org).

Sydney Monorail - a Photo Essay
photos and commentary by Kim Pedersen
Editor's Note: After 25 years, the Sydney Monorail closed on June 30, 2013. The 3.6-kilometer loop peoplemover monorail had been the subject of debate since it opened. During its lifetime it was mostly ridden by tourists, but the final days of the monorail saw a spike in local patronage. Riders clambered for a chance to get a last ride on the iconic Von Roll-built system. The system, like many other Von Roll-built monorails, was plagued with technical problems since opening. Sources with firsthand knowledge have told The Monorail Society that the operator company also did a less than stellar job maintaining Sydney Monorail.
Welcome to Sydney, Australia. Sydney is the most populous city in Australia. It's known for its iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House, and amongst we monorailists, one of the most photogenic urban monorails in the world. If you compare the above picture with the map below, you'll see that we are looking down on much of the Sydney Monorail route. That big white-roofed building in the foreground is the Sydney Exhibition Centre. In the distance it's possible to spot the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and to the right of it, the jagged-edged Sydney Opera House.
The monorail is a single-line loop, which somewhat limits its usefullness as peoplemover. The flaw of a single line peoplemover loops can be explained with the above map. If you were to get on the monorail at City Centre and ride it down to Darling Park, it's a relatively short ride. If you want to return from Darling Park back to City Centre, you would then be forced to ride the rest of the entire loop and stop at six stations along the way. That's no problem for monorailists that enjoy the ride, as a complete loop ride is still less than 15 minutes, but perhaps an unwelcome time addition for locals interested in the quickest transport during their lunch break. The Sydney Monorail still does provide a valuable transit link between popular destinations in and near downtown, and a full loop ride is a wonderful way to take in the sights of the city. It carries around four million passengers each year. As we take our tour, I recommend using the above map to keep track of where we are.
One of the great things about riding a monorail is the view from above. I like 'the view from above' in other ways too, whether it's an airplane, on a mountain or way up in a tower. To get a better view of Sydney, my family and I zipped up to the top of Sydney Tower. You'll see several images taken from up there in this essay. This one illustrates the main function of the Sydney Monorail, which is to connect downtown (bottom), with Darling Harbour (top). Darling Harbour is a giant redevelopment area of what was once a derelict part of Sydney's commercial port. In the 1980s it was redeveloped as a pedestrian and tourist precinct. The Sydney Monorail was built by Von Roll Monorail of Switzerland and opened in July of 1988.
As I like to do in our photo essays, we'll follow the track in our tour. We start at City Centre, where the monorail station is built into the building. I love stations like this, but there really aren't that many of them. Since Sydney Monorail is a 3.6 kilometer loop, we will return to this spot!
Like many cities, Sydney is filled with contrasts in architecture and style. The modern look of the totally automated monorail arguably blends in well with old and new buildings alike. We're on Market Street heading towards the harbour, the ornate building behind the train is QVB (Queen Victoria Building-1898). Shoppers, be sure to check it out!
Here's our first look at Sydney Tower, as seen on one of the most creative aspects of the Sydney Monorail. To appease NIMBYs that didn't like the idea of 'ugly' monorail structure in their downtown (some continue to whine and moan about it), the designers of the system added marbled pylon supports with mirrored supports in so-called sensitive areas. They look fantastic and did not add much to the final cost of the system. The system was designed and built in a record 26 months.
Here's your classic Kodak Photo Spot for Sydney Monorail. The track makes a graceful crossing of both Market and Clarence Streets as it descends down a hill towards the harbour. Sydney Tower and the skyline add to the appeal for photographers, yours truly included.

Not sure of age, but she does not seem to have tail feathers. Right now she is eating wild bird seed and will drink water, will she eat bananas? Or dried cranberries? That is all i have right now, will go to pet store and see about some grit and maybe a better feed for her. I also have some lettuce, would that be ok for her? any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you tina cooke, conway. Sc

Diego - 2012-03-03
Hi! I'm Diego, from Argentina. I've recently found a doves pigeon half buried in mud after a storm. To my surprise it was alive and healthy! I brought it home and I've been trying to feed it. During the first week I fed it on a cereal mix for babies which I bought in the supermarket guessing it was about one week old (I searched for pics on the web). I just put the mix with water into a syringe and fed it directly into its mouth. Then I added some seed mix for birds to the diet, but now feeding him (or her) is getting difficult, for it doesn't want to be fed directly and tries to help itself. The problem is that after several attempts it doesn't really get to eat much and I see It is not eating at least the half it used to. I'm worried because I don't know how to do it right and I really want it to get rid from my help as soon as it will be able to. Thanks a lot and sorry for my English. email@example.com

I have raised a mourning dove since it was only a few days old. It now is grown and eats seed really well. I have found that it likes cantalope is this normal?

Ok at lunch I found this mourning dove and it wasn't really able to fly and it was lopsided. I have no idea what's wrong with it so I'm trying to google things to help it. I caught it and it is now in a small cage. I need suggestions on how to help it so it can be released and have a chance to live. Anything would help.

I was walking around and found a fledgling Mourning Dove that couldn't fly too well yet. It ran away when I tried to catch it, but I caught it eventually and put it in a small rabbit cage. The nest was too high up for it to fly back to ( it tried and just smacked against the side of the building, so I took it home. I have mealworms already, but I really just want to know when I can release it again. It looks ready to leave the nest but can only fly 20-25 feet up before it falls and it doesn't know how to catch onto a ledge yet.

Hi , I found a dove in the middle of the road flapping it's wing. I picked it up and have it in a cage hoping I can help it get back to flying again.
This is the third day and it walks real well. It trys to fly but isn't doing so well. Does anyone know if the wing will heal on its on? It seems to be ok ,not broken. I just don't want to leave it out for other animals to kill.

We found Ginger 3 years ago with a broken wing from a bullet. My son and I brought her to many places around town and none would treat her. They all told us to euthanize her. When I explained the word to my son he was devastated. The look on his face broke my heart, so I told him I would call our vet. This wonderful man cleaned and taped her wing down to heal, and sent us on our way with antibiotics and a return appointment for the following week. When we arrived, he had a look of pure amazement on his face! It seems that he had given Ginger less than a 20% chance of surviving that week. Not only had she survived, but she was "a whole new bird". She wasn't expected to be able to fly again. She can for short distances. We communicate with each other with coos, bell ringing (you should see her go), and a few other sounds she makes (I can't describe). At times she will stand at the door of her cage face to face with me and we'll make noises back and forth and have a real conversation! I am glad I invested the time and money in healing this beautiful bird. I thank God for our talented vet and our discussion about all God's creatures deserving a chance!

HTC takes a gamble with new brand and OS strategy
Every time Microsoft scores a point in its tortuous quest to become a major mobile player, it seems to suffer a balancing setback. So while the recently announced updates to Windows Mobile made the OS look far more credible on a small device than it had before, the software giant had to endure its primary handset ally, Taiwan's …
HTC handsets and Linux.
There is a certain irony in this. There have already been several projects to get Linux running on HTC handsets.
These have achieved varying degrees of success with no complete version yet.
Many hit a brick wall because the specifications for the hardware are secret and HTC point blank refuse to give details. That makes it difficult to write or adapt device drivers except by major efforts reverse engineering existing code.
If they are serious about wanting Linux on their handsets they could just make the specs public and wait...
If they do go the Linux route it will be interesting to see if they follow the lead of others who purport to use Linux. They often clamp it down rigidly, make it hard or impossible to run custom kernels or programs and sometimes refuse to release source code.
One reason for that is so that minor changes and updates can be added to new phones requiring purchase of new hardware even though the old hardware could be updated just as easily.
Much of that is a GPL-violation which would be called "piracy" or "theft" in other circles. However this is free software and some major vendors feel they can rip it off with impunity.
Droping MS OS would be a mistake.
I currently own a T-Mobile MDA and think that droping Microsofts OS would be a mistake. As far as I'm concerned there are no viable alternatives. The major advantage of my phone for me is that I can easily create any application I want for it. Linux program is always a pain in the backside as is Palm OS. Plus the large expanse of freely or cheaply available software for the MS OS means that in most situations I can get what I want without having to do it myself. I really can't see HTC droping the MS OS simply because the kind of people that want PDA phones are generally the people who know that the MDA or XDA or whatever is actually a HTC.
Brand loyalty: Willing slavery, or?
"The major advantage of my phone for me is that I can easily create any application I want for it."
Oh, really? I would be interested to know what language you use to write your apps for WinCE or whatever it is.
"the large expanse of freely or cheaply available software for the MS OS means that in most situations I can get what I want without having to do it myself."
Oddly enough, that's the primary attraction of Linux-for-handsets, too. Well, that and the price point. Oh, and stability; a phone that doesn't have to be rebooted in order to make a call is nice. Then there's adherence to actual standards... I'll start again.
Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
HTC NEEDS Windows Mobile
The reason HTC have been so popular isn't due to being a white label supplier to the teleco's - but because it runs Windows Mobile.
I personally use Nokia phones. I'm a massive fan of the Symbian OS and the way Nokia implement it. (Been using Nokia for around 10 years) However I wouldn't purchase a N95 or E Series device in the workplace when there is a Windows based alternative. The reason is simple. Ease of use and enterprise level managability. Why pay for a ActiveSync tool to get push email from our Exchange server when it's included free of charge on WM? Support technicians need no training to help users on WM as it so similar to a Win2k/XP box. Management and Security are much easier on a Windows Device (in particular the new WM6.0 version) due to the specific tools MS provide. And now with Vista Sync Centre ActiveSync on the desktop is no more - and sync'ing is actually a background task rather than a pain in the arse for our users.
Personally I'm firmly in the Nokia N Series camp, but in my job as Network Admin I'm happy i've made the right choice implementing a corporate policy of WM devices only for our business.
Having used an HTC device (MDA compact) for the last two years (prior to that it was a Motorola V600.. YUCK) I jumped ship back to Nokia for the first time in about 5 years (E61).
Yes there is plenty of software for the Windows Mobile etc. out there and yes the look and feel is pretty what (as an XP user) I would expect. Trouble is that a phone is a very personal thing and no matter how good the OS or supporting apps are, if it doesnt look/feel good in the palm of your hand then its not going to be as popular. The LG Chocolate has sold by the dozen simply because it looked cool, the fact that an awful lot of users complained about the touchpads sensitivity didnt stop it
The main problem is that HTC's devices appeal to the geek (yup thats me) but for most users the WM interface is a put off due to its complexity, most people I know take one look and say 'Nice but I could never understand how to use it'
The same people use computers regularly as part of their daily lives but a phone with the same (or similar) interface is too much.
I just bought an HTC
I just bought an htc device, the P3600 to be exact. It is already branded as htc, as I bought it sim free.
I used to have a Palm PDA, but that had no phone capability, and after reading the various reviews of the Treo 650 etc. I didn't feel like taking the chance. I'm glad I didn't - - -
This P3600 is lovely. Ok, it's running WM5 but I never programmed for my Sony Ericsson phone, so why bother for this one (I run linux machines mainly).
It has 3G, video calling capability, WiFi, Bluetooth 2, GPRS, and GPS, with TomTom6 software included. It also charges in less than 5 hours from flat.
The main reason I was in the market, was for mobile web access, and frankly the smart phones don't cut it. I also need to use the phone as a modem for the laptop, and so it was worth going 3G. It's a pleasure to use this device on the net, with the screen in landscape, and connected via WiFi.
And did I mention it looks lovely ? Ok, it's not the smallest device on the market, but to get the screen size, you need a certain minimum area. In fact it feels smaller than it looks from the pictures, around the same height as a Sony Ericsson K800i, thinner than the Sony, and about 1.33 x the width.
(BTW the htc logo is more subtle in the flesh, and the rear camera is dark graphite coloured not shiny as in the pictures)
Ok, advert over, have a look at the pictures and see what I mean. This is a PDA with phone capability, not a toy ^H^H^H smartphone !
(and I've not had to "reboot" at all Morely Dotes)
Go HTC, more choice can only be good, and this was a good choice.
Diversity is the spice of life
"Oh, really? I would be interested to know what language you use to write your apps for WinCE or whatever it is."
I use .NET.
"Oddly enough, that's the primary attraction of Linux-for-handsets, too. Well, that and the price point. Oh, and stability; a phone that doesn't have to be rebooted in order to make a call is nice. Then there's adherence to actual standards... I'll start again."
Really? I've never come across that much actual useful linux pda software.
Anyway what HTC and other manufactures should do is make the OS an option. Then we can each choose the OS that suits our needs.
Google anyone
HTC is not dropping Windows, but just looking around... and found Google looking around for a phone manufacturer...
So wait and see...
Widening their options
I think this is a good move by HTC as the MS smartphone market is too small for a fast growing company like it. Linux is growing faster than Windows mobile worldwide and the company should have the option of exploiting that market too.
In addition, I do a lot of pervasive Java development (including mobile) using Java ME and I could care less what the OS is since most mobile OS (Linux/Symbian/Windows/Blackberry, etc) can run Java apps, but in the desktop and server world, MS is hostile to Java and so I tend to be hostile towards it in the mobile world too.

Former taxi driver, Hamza Bilal (27) has been jailed for running over a passenger.
Mr Bilal pleaded guilty to inflicting grievous bodily harm following a heated argument over the fare in March 2013. After Bilal dropped the victim off, he turned his car around and drove towards him on the wrong side of the road.
The man was dragged 50 metres, trapped between the wheels of the taxi before Bilal drove off and was left with life threatening injuries and permanent disabilities.
Bilal was sentenced to six years in jail with three years non-parole.
What disgusted me about this incident, back in March last year when this occurred, he continued to drive and accept fares for the remainder of his shift. Apparently he's likely to get deported after the three year non parole period which would be fair and reasonable.
Do you pay on the first date?

These Are the Thoughts Lyrics - Alanis Morissette
these are the thoughts that go through my head
in my backyard on a Sunday afternoon
when I have the house to myself and I am not
expending all that energy on fighting with my boyfriend
is he the one that I will marry?
why is it so hard to be objective about myself?
why do I feel cellularly alone?
am I supposed to live in this crazy city?
can blindly continued fear-induced regurgitated
life- denying tradition be overcome?
where does the money go that I send to those in need?
if we have so much why do some people have nothing still?
why do I feel frantic when I first wake up in the morning?
why do you say you are spiritual
yet you treat people like shit?
how can you say you're close to God
and yet you talk behind my back as though I am not
a part of you?
why do I say I'm fine
when it's obvious I'm not?
why's it so hard to tell you what I want?
why can't you just read my mind?
why do I fear that the quieter I am the less you will listen?
why do I care whether you like me or not?
why is it so hard for me to be angry?
why is it such work to stay conscious and so easy to get stuck
and not the other way around?
will I ever move back to canada?
can I be with a lover with whom I am a student and a master?
why am I encouraged to shut my mouth
when it gets too close to home?
why cannot i live in the moment?

On the Ridley Report, Dave Ridley interviews war tax resister Ginny Schneider about war tax resistance and the possibilities for a libertarian / progressive alliance over not being forced to pay for war:
War Tax Resister Ginny Schneider
Marj Halperin, in the Chicago News Examiner, examines the War Tax Resisters Penalty Fund:
The conservative call to send teabags to DC to protest high taxes may be based on a event, but organizers are newbies when compared to a 23-year-old tax protest underway in northern Indiana.
There, peace activists gave been quietly supporting those who dare to withhold taxes because they don't want their money to support the US military budget. There's a price to pay for that kind of protest, of course, in the form of penalties and interest on taxes due. That's where the War Tax Resisters Penalty Fund (WTRPF) comes in.
At the NWTRCC website, you can download a newly-updated publication titled Stages of Conscientious Objection to Military Taxes.
It tries to describe the path that Quakers, Brethren, and others in the traditional peace churches take on their way to conscientious objection to military taxation:
- Making the Connection — support for the military conflicts with our peace testimony
- Recognizing that paying taxes for military purposes directly and personally involves a citizen in militarism
- Deciding to take action
- Saying "Yes": Positive actions for peace
- Saying "No": opposing taxes for military purposes
This pamphlet may be a useful way of reaching out to members of those Christian churches that claim to be peace-oriented.

The Philadelphia-Neshoba County Historical Museum has anything and everything connected to Neshoba County. From a room dedicated to Marty Stuart, to artifacts from the Neshoba County Fair, to a history of how the city and county came to be, museum curator Steven Stubbs says that you won't leave without learning a great deal about the area.
"Its history, its people, its development; all the way from the Indian days all the way to the days today."
One of the most popular exhibits showcases artifacts from Neshoba County veterans dating all the way back to the Civil War, and progressing through both World Wars, Vietnam, and the fight in the Middle East. Stubbs believes the personal connection to a war hero raised in the home is what attracts so many to the military room.
"The fact that the Joseph Fields Family owned this home and he was a war hero in World War II, and he was born and reared in this home, I think it adds a lot of history and culture to it."
A restored Neshoba County Fair cabin opened today and is the newest addition to the museum, and many people feel that it's important to have it there since the fair is such an integral part of the county.
"Come to this museum and look. You'll see a lot of Neshoba County Fair history. This room is dedicated to horse racing, but the rest of the cabin is dedicated to other parts of the Neshoba County Fair," said Charles Therrell who raced and later called the horse races at the Neshoba County Fair.
In just the last 22 months the fee-free museum has attracted visitors from 23 states and 5 foreign countries.

The Children (Review)
The Children (2009)
Directed by Tom Shankland
[this is a review I wrote for UGO.com's Movie Blog, hence the shortness and the letter grade]
The Children represents a subgenre of horror that will never be fully accepted in the United States of America. Oh yeah, we've had our share of "killer kids" films, namely Children of the Corn, The Omen and The Good Son but it's probably never going to be mainstreamy anytime soon.
Well thank the UK for keeping this creepy ubergenre alive. Tom Shankland's The Children brings the chills and the wickedness of kids not being kidlike as they go murderous against the adults. It's succulently evil and scary it made me a very happy horror fan.
The movie's set up is rather simple. At a New Years gathering, two families come together for a celebration. They consist of two older sisters and their husbands, an eldest hottie Rachel Bilson looking daughter and all their kids (4 total younglings).
The adults, in a twist are almost irrelevant as they are the victim fodder. It's the children that work so effectively as the little Dennis the Menaces. They soon develop a H1N1 like virus that starts turning them irritable then very serial killery. Each little tyke brings performances that match any Damian persona and even though they are overtly cute, they show their dark side instantly.
Soon, the adults are on the run like teenagers at a summer camp. Many of the scenes are simple, yet effective. Violence between the kids and the adults erupt at a greenhouse, then within the snow covered woods and then inside a house.
Shankland builds up the suspense with some playful foreshadowing and just a hint of quick edits for those gratuitous jump scares. Also, there is some decent amount of gore with head and ocular trauma, broken vertebrae and neck wounds. The movie doesn't tread lightly on the adult-icide or kid-acide which makes it more chilling when the death scenes occur.
The overall moral theme that gets grappled is one that encompasses all these killer kid films. Would you be able to kill a kid or *gasp* your own child to save your own or another child's life?
Many of the characters struggle with this and the paternal and maternal instinct are so ingrained, their logic becomes illogical and more emotion. Many might not be able to view such a film where kids wink with such evilness, especially parents.
But for those who are brave enough to watch The Children, you will never see a playground the same way again.
Grade: A
You'll like it if....
- You love creepy kids being creepy movies
- You dig an anti Disney, suspenseful, scary and thrilling kid killer horror movie
- You like movies like The Omen, Children of the Corn and Them aka Ils
You won't like it if....
- You're a parent who morally objects to killer children movies
- You can't stand the sight of gratuitous gore and head trauma
- You think children killing adults is just ridiculous and cheesy
The Trailer
Labels: 2009 horror dvd, ghosthouse underground, the children, the children review, UK horror
Agreed, this one was handled very well, and marks one of the better killer kid flicks. I still prefer WHO CAN KILL A CHILD, but this is certainly better than any of the CotC flicks
Nice short review, man. I've heard nothing but great things about THE CHILDREN. I'm getting it on Netflix tomorrow. Can't wait to see these little bastards do their evil thang.
I thought the film was going to suck because it starts so slowly. The third act of The Children saves the film. When the mother tells the husband what she did in the green house was great. The father's reaction toward his wife after that and his daughter was also very good, believable. The best is when the little boy and girl come back to the house when the older sister is locked in the room and the car wreck scene at the end.
FB - I also love there is no explanation to what is causing the virus thats made the kids all nutzoid. Other movies would explain its extraterrestrial or demons...but they focused more on the "what if" scenario and the relationships b/w the kids and the adults.
Good stuff.
And the Red Herring at the end with the hot girl vomiting like the children at the beginning of the film. At first I thought she was puking because of the condition of her father. Maybe whatever it was took longer to effect her because she was not quite in adolescence anymore.
Crap, now I might have to review this film.

The MTSU Rugby Football Club was started in the Fall of 1980.
As with any start-up ventures, the club had its share of ups and
downs and many times the team had to pick up players from opponents so the
game could be played. The club survived
and slowly built up a
of colorful characters that helped
to mold the team. In those early
years, the club was outfitted
by many non-students and the team
did not participate in the
official National Collegiate Championship
MTSU Rugby is now thriving, and maintains an excellent
relationship with the university, as well as continued success
on the pitch.

IPED Intern Fellowships
Students who have done well academically or who are successful in obtaining a selective internship on a competitive basis may fulfill their practical training requirement through the IPED Intern Fellowship Program (PEGA 8090 IPED Intern Fellow). Successful applicants must normally have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better. While internships can be repeated, fellowship awards are given only once. IPED Intern Fellows are exempted from any tuition charges associated with their internship. Successful applicants will also be able to receive a modest stipend of at least US$500 and as high as US$3,000.
Summer Selective Internships
Each summer the IPED Program, frequently in cooperation with our alumni, designate a number of specially selected internships in the private sector, in government, and in the non-profit sector. Internships during the summer are normally 16 hours per week but can be full-time and usually last from six to eight weeks. Once selected, the sponsoring organization will give you more details regarding your responsibilities. Any IPED student in good academic standing (GPA = 3.0 or higher) who succeeds in obtaining a selective internship on a competitive basis will also be awarded an intern fellowship. If, however, you do not apply for one of the designated selective internships listed below, you are still eligible for an intern fellowship. The decision to grant you an intern fellowship will then be based on your academic performance (GPA = 3.5 or higher) as well as the quality of your chosen internship.

November 28, 2014
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - An Oklahoma House committee has approved a proposal to codify a parental "bill of rights" in state law.
The House Human Services Committee passed the proposal from Oklahoma City Republican Sally Kern Monday by a 6-3 vote.
Kern says the bill is meant to lay out what control parents have in their children's upbringing, particularly in education. It directs public schools to tell parents about their options to object to material presented in class, includin6g sex education.
Kern says her proposal doesn't add anything new to state law except to assert explicitly parents' liberty in the education, health care and upbringing of their children. She says everything else is already scattered in other state laws.
Several committee members questioned whether the bill was necessary and whether it would burden schools.

SNELLVILLE, Ga. (AP) — Authorities say a Dachshund dog was hit by a car after it was fed LSD in the Atlanta suburb of Snellville.
Police tell the Gwinnett Daily Post (http://bit.ly/sijs3c) that Oscar was given LSD in the form of a gummy worm laced with the drug.
Snellville police Capt. Harold Thomas said officers were sent to a home on Pinehurst Road Sunday night, after neighbors reported a couple of people running down the street naked.
Police said that when officers arrived, the man was wearing only socks and the woman was topless as they explained that they'd given Oscar LSD and he was missing.
Authorities say the dog was struck by a car on a nearby street. Its condition wasn't known Tuesday.
Police said the couple was taken to Eastside Medical Center.
Information from: Gwinnett Daily Post, http://www.gwinnettdailypost.com
It's a shame that most laws don't give a hoot about animals. Those people should be punished to the same degree as if they had given that drug to a small child.
Abuse of a dog and a small child definitely do not warrant the same punishments, but I agree that this couple should be harshly punished. That is such an inhumane thing that they did to their dog!
ChattaVol06, why shouldn't it? Children, especially young children, are dependent on their parents for love, comfort, nuturing, food, drink and a safe enviroment that if their parents fail to deliver can be/is child abuse or worse. Animals, all ages of animals, are soley dependent on their owners for love, comfort, nuturing, food, drink and a safe enviroment that if not met can lead to animal cruelty or worse. If people are willing to do it to an animal what is to stop them from doing it to a child? Both rely on said people so why not punish the same?
Ok so this is terrible, but I have to disagree on the child animal comparison.
Yes, a domestic animal does usually depend on a human for it's existence as a child would.
How do the two differ? A child would quickly die if "set loose" in the wilderness, where as a savvy domesticated animal would have, say... a 50% percent chance of living a full life of eating other animals (rabbits, squirrels, rats, snakes) and rustling up a warm place to huddle through the winters.
Some adult domestic breeds would (and do) learn to enjoy the freedom of the wild.
Yes, it is terrible to mistreat animals, be they trusting and domesticated or not.
No, animals and children are not on the same plane in regards to equal requirements for survival and support.
But dayo1980, any adult who would be so reckless with an helpless animna l wouldn't do much better with a helpless,dependent child. It all starts somewhere. Most people who would abuse a helpless animals are just as likely to abuse a helpless child.
This couple will probably have children some day. If so, god help us and god help that child. Maybe some hard labor for the animal cruelty/abuse and drug charges could help to knock some sense into these two clowns. Oh, and they should be required to clean dog kennels for several years.
I completely agree centair, by the quick description of these two, I can surmise that they probably have bigger dysfunctions in their lives than the ones listed in this story.
The combining of genes to produce children between this pair would be a bad idea for a multitude of obvious reasons.
Anyway you say/read this....it is still awful! This pair should be sentenced to the harshest punishment possible! Maybe when they sober up they will realize what a terrible thing they did!
But I do agree...the next step up from an animal is a child...

World's oldest person pops clogs at 114
Japan's Yone Minagawa yesterday relinquished her short-held title as the world's oldest person when she died "of old age" having clocked up 114 years, news agencies report. Minagawa was born on 4 January, 1893 in Fukuchi, Fukuoka prefecture, southwestern Japan. She was officially recognised by Guinness World Records as the …
But living across 3 centuries, how cool would that be? Only another 94 years to find out, although 10 centuries would be preferable.
99 and 2 days
My goal right now is 99 and 2 days. That will get me to my 75th wedding anniversary. But first comes June 21, 2030 and our 50th.
Was she dutch?
Still think I'd rather live a short enjoyable life than a long somewhat enjoyable life which had me waiting 40+ years wondering when I was going to die... or that I had to wear incontinence pants for any extended period of time...
Re; 99 and 2 days
>> My goal right now is 99 and 2 days. That will get me to my 75th wedding anniversary. But first comes June 21, 2030 and our 50th.
Assuming, ofcourse, that you wife is still living (and you are still married). Also, is there a particular reason you would like to die on your wedding anniversary?
On another note, I wonder what the probability of the current worlds oldest person dying, on any given day? I wonder how many we get through in a decade?
Who cares about being oldest?
I'm just working on getting my pension for longer than I paid into it. Three grandparents past the century mark (and one who died of silicosis at 85)... just wondering if taking early retirement would be cheating?
Hang on, Edna!
Hey, I wonder if there is some "curse of the 114"... Emma, check. Yone, 114 too. Hang on there, Edna!
"...put her longevity down to a good diet and plenty of kip, describing the latter as her "hobby"."
It seems to me that if you sleep a lot you miss all the action. Still, I think I'll give it a try. Give me a nudge when it's time for dinner will ya ....
Re: Re; 99 and 2 days
"is there a particular reason you would like to die on your wedding anniversary?"
Karma. I've been telling her for years that she's working me into an early grave. That would be proof.
What the devil is "popping clogs"? Kicking off (one's shoes), I take it?
Re: Huh?
Good grief. A techie's news site and here you are, a poster so technically backward you couldn't even ask a search engine for an explanation of 'popping clogs', but felt impelled to blither about your incompetence by posting? Research sharpens the mind, oh anonymous one; take the blunted object you currently possess and go forth... While you're at it, read Monty Python's 'Parrot Sketch' so that you'll have passing familiarity with some other euphemisms for dying quite likely to be used here.
To use another phrase with which you may need to look up, I thank you for laying yourself open to the sharpening of my claws.
Poppin' Clogs...
For the longest time I thought the term was "pop cogs" ... like gears ... like a watch face just erupting with gears and springs and sickly cuckoo clock sounds. Shoes are not nearly as cool.

A Lake Charles man is dead following a hunting accident in Allen Parish.
The Reeves Police Department received a report on October 18th about a truck that had been parked on the side of Highway 190 near Rodeo Pen Road in Reeves for two to three days.
A sheriff's office deputy found the truck and noticed a trail into the woods. After walking the trail for approximately 100 yards, the deputy found the body of Donald C. Hodge Sr., 60, shortly after 5 p.m. on October 18th.
The APSO deputy found Hodge under a tree with a lock on type deer stand lying next to him with what appeared to be broken straps that would normally secure the stand to the tree. Authorities did not find a safety harness attached to Hodge or the tree.
His body was turned over to the Allen Parish Coroner's Office.
LDWF will be the lead investigative agency and do not suspect foul play.
