I am a female troper from the US. I have an English literature BA and a Masters of Library Science. I primarily read fantasy, classics, and a select collection of webcomics; I watch some animated series and the occasional TV show. I have a tendency to get into works well after their heyday (for instance, I didn't watch ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' until 2012), particularly for TV shows, so at any given moment I'm usually working my way through a complete series.

[[folder:My Philosophy of Fiction]]
The following quote from "On Fairy Stories" by [[JRRTolkien J.R.R. Tolkien]] reflects my views on fantasy and fiction in general. I had originally had it at the top of the page, but it was a bit long for that.
->Fantasy is a natural human activity. It certainly does not destroy or even insult Reason; and it does not either blunt the appetite for, nor obscure the perception of scientific verity. On the contrary. The keener and clearer is the reason, the better fantasy will it make. . . .\\
Fantasy can, of course, be carried to excess. It can be ill done. It can be put to evil uses. It may even delude the minds out of which it came. But of what human thing in this fallen world is that not true? . . . Fantasy remains a human right: we make in our measure and our derivative mode, because we are made: and not only made, but made in the image and likeness of a Maker. . . .\\
The consolation of fairy-stories [is] the joy of the happy ending: or more correctly the good catastrophe, the sudden joyous "turn" (for there is no true end to any fairy-tale) . . . In its fairy-tale--or otherworld--setting, it is a sudden and miraculous grace: never to be counted on to recur. It does not deny the existence of dyscatastrophe, of sorrow and failure: the possibility of these is necessary to the joy of deliverance; it denies (in the face of much evidence, if you will) universal final defeat and in so far is evangelium, giving a fleeting glimpse of Joy, Joy beyond the walls of the world, poignant as grief. . . . When the sudden "turn" comes we get a piercing glimpse of joy, and heart's desire, that for a moment passes outside the the frame, rends indeed the very web of story, and lets a gleam come through.

4th day of $QQQ short term down-trend; IBD sees market correction
2/8What is the GMI?
My trading account increased on Wednesday due to my call options on QID. QID is designed to rise 2x as much as the QQQ falls and the call options bet that QID will rise and give me leverage, while minimizing risk. When one buys options, the most that one can lose is the purchase price of the options. QID rose +3.2% on Wednesday as QQQ declined -1.6%. Based on short term down-trends since 2006, if the current one last 5 days, it has a 78% chance of continuing for 11 or more days and a 41% chance of lasting 20 or more days. IBD has now called the market in a correction.
3rd day of $QQQ short term down-trend
4/8What is the GMI?
This market is teetering on the edge. I have a few long positions which I have hedged with some call options on QID, just in case the QQQ falls off the cliff. This daily chart of SPY (S&P 500 index ETF) shows a lot of technical weakness. Note the high volume down days illustrated by the red spikes. SPY is now below its critical 50 day average. Six of the last eight trading days have shown declines.
I counted 63 new highs and 318 new lows among all U.S. stocks on Tuesday. Only 29% of all stocks rose. And now we are in that wonderful month of October! With Ebola on the horizon, this market could get sick.
2nd day of $QQQ short term down-trend; $BSTC,$ESPR: green line break-out
4/8What is the GMI?
I am still not clear whether this new down-trend will last. If it gets past 5 days, I will be more confident. Almost one half (41%) of the new short term down-trends since 2006 have lasted 5 days or less. Bio-techs remain strong, however. Here is a bio-tech, BSTC, that came to my attention when it broke its green line top on unusually high volume. I have a small position in BSTC. Check out its daily chart. BSTC has held its own through all of the recent market volatility.
I also nibbled at ESPR. ESPR will likely consolidate after this huge beak-out.
Both of these stocks came to my attention through my TC2000 high volume up bio-tech scan.
This market is not out of the woods; Finding bio-tech stars like $AGIO and $VRTX
3/8What is the GMI?
The GMI now registers 1 and flashed a Sell signal as of Friday's close and my QQQ short term trend has turned down. Sometimes these changes in short term trend do not persist for more than a day or two, so I watch the market action very closely. There are a lot of other technical indicators that make me very cautious this week. The QQQ is sitting on its 10 week average. A weekly close below it (about 98) would be a significant sign of a weakening in the longer term trend. Failure of the bounce back above its daily 15.2 BB would be a serious sign of short term weakness. Both of these areas of support remain around 97.80-98. I always look for a close below important support levels before I act. I therefore restrict most of my daily trading to around 3:45 PM when I can estimate where things will close. If I trade earlier in the day I am often whipsawed by the action. IBD still sees the up-trend under pressure, another sign for me to be cautious. There were 46 new highs and 214 new lows on Friday, the opposite of what I would expect from a healthy rising market. Again, the action was different for tech stocks versus other stocks: 63% of all stocks rose Friday compared with 91% of the Nasdaq 100 non-financial tech stocks. On the plus side, the T2108 is now at 25%, closer to where bounces occur and the put/call ratios have been above 1 for two days……..
Four Nasdaq 100 stocks have a 15.4 daily stochastic above 80, representing recent price strength. They are VRTX, SIAL, FB, EBAY. While a reading above 80 is often considered over bought, strong stocks can remain at this level for long periods. The signal I watch for is a decline in the stochastic below 80 after being above for a number of days.
I don't often nail a break-out, but did you see what AGIO did on Friday after I had posted about it Thursday night?
I had no inside information. I just let the technical indicators and the news alert me that something was up. I learned from my stock buddy, Judy, who picks a lot of biotech winners, that one can learn a lot by reading news reports about drug companies' promising clinical trials and scheduled presentations. Being in the research field, I know that one schedules public presentations to highlight good research results. The astute reader might have read last week that AGIO has a big presentation coming up about their research on new drugs they are developing. And while it pains me to say it, Jim Cramer has been crowing about AGIO.
I run a TC2000 scan every night for bio-tech stocks that have advanced that day on unusually high volume. Then Judy goes to work researching them to uncover the gems. The unusual trading volume is a clue to finding bio-tech gems like AGIO and even VRTX before they take off. The exciting money to be made is in the revolution occurring in drug development.
Now, I know that some of you are going to write me to request the stocks that came up in my bio-tech scan from last night. If I listed the stocks, I suspect some people would just buy them and not do the due diligence to uncover the probable winners. And this, even though the market up-trend is in doubt! The scan did uncover 7 stocks (XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX). You will just have to stay tuned to see if I write about them–after doing the necessary research. I maintain a growing watch list of all stocks that have recently been detected by this bio-tech scan. I monitor them over time for signs of strength and news….
This week is critical for telling me the market's probable trend. So I am unlikely to buy anything right now. Will Friday's rebound hold???
On the verge of a GMI Sell signal but markets becoming very over-sold; $AGIO rocks
3/8What is the GMI?
With the failure of Wednesday's rebound, the indexes are likely to enter short term down-trends on Thursday. This is the time to step away and watch from the sidelines. This daily chart of the QQQ shows it broke below support on the highest volume in months.
The longer term trend of the QQQ remains up, however. I have very small positions in my trading accounts. My university pension remains invested in mutual funds for now. With the put/call ratio at 1.11 and the T2108 at 22, we could see at least a short term bounce very soon.
One recent green line break-out stock had a great day on Thursday. Check out this daily chart of AGIO.
Now that is unusual relative strength!
GMI Buy signal and $QQQ short term up-trend hold–for now; New highs with good earnings: $SWKS, $UTHR
6/8What is the GMI?
We went to the brink and turned back, so the up-trend remains intact. It is still a weak rebound, however. There were only 40 new highs but 237 new lows on Wednesday. Only 57% of all U.S. stocks rose, but 90% of the Nasdaq 100 stocks rose. So this is yet again a lop-sided rally, primarily among growth and tech stocks. This daily chart of the QQQ (Nasdaq 100 stock ETF) shows that it held its lower Bollinger Band and climbed back above its 30 day average.
The GMI rose to 3 and therefore did not flash a Sell signal. We will have to wait to see if this renewed up-trend can sustain itself. I own a little TQQQ and will add to my position if the QQQ holds. Only two stocks came up in my scan for stocks at new highs with strong recent earnings—SWKS and UTHR. Both are above their green line break-outs. Check out these weekly charts.
$QQQ short term up-trend likely to end Wednesday; small caps entering Stage 4 decline
3/8What is the GMI?
The SPY weakened on Tuesday as did the QQQ. The GMI could flash a Sell signal with another decline on Wednesday. Small stocks are about to enter a serious Weinstein Stage 4 decline, as shown by this weekly chart of IWM, the Russell 2000 Index ETF. In fact, IWM appears to have put in a double top. Note that the 30 week average (red line) is about to turn down. With the small cap stocks caving in, can the rest of the market be far behind?
27th day of $QQQ short term up-trend; indexes on support; GMI=3
5/8What is the GMI?
Tuesday will largely tell the story whether this 27 day long short term up-trend in the QQQ is likely to end. QQQ and SPY are sitting right on their 30 day averages and their lower Bollinger Bands. If they close below these key levels I suspect we are likely at the beginning of a significant decline. The T2108 indicator is now at 32%, lowest since it hit 28% on August 8, just before the latest up-trend began. And the GMI has fallen to 3. This daily chart of QQQ shows that the underlying Nasdaq 100 index is on critical support. Note also the heavy selling volume (red spikes) the past two days. (Click on chart to enlarge.)
Note the similar pattern in the SPY:
Tuesday's action will be very important to determining the near term trend of the market.
Market is weaker than it looks–nifty 50 all over again?
7/8What is the GMI?
There are some very curious statistics tied to the current market. At a time when the SPY, and DIA are near new all-time highs, the measures of the market internals are weak. For example, why is the T2108 only at 40%? This means that only 40% of NYSE stocks closed Friday above their 40 day average prices. In June, T2108 was above 70%! The Wishing Wealth 10 Day Successful New High indicator showed only 25% of the stocks that hit a new 52 week high 10 days ago closed higher on Friday than they closed 10 days earlier. In contrast 68% of the stocks that hit a new low 10 days ago closed lower on Friday than 10 days earlier. And there were as many stocks hitting a new high on Friday as hit a new low. That is very strange. Why should 200 stocks be hitting new lows? And on Friday, only 32% of all U.S. stocks and 24% of the Nasdaq 100 stocks rose! Could it be that the few hugely favored growth stocks are driving the indexes while the rest of the market is weakening. Years ago in the 1960's and 1970's such a phenomenon occurred with the "nifty 50″. All one had to do was to invest in these high growth "one decision" stocks and one's investments would be assured. We all know how that investing strategy failed in the bear markets of the 60's and in 1974. Perhaps AAPL, AMZN, GOOG and TSLA are among this cycle's one decision stocks. At some point they may join the majority of stocks that have been silently weakening…
25th day of $QQQ short term up-trend
8/8What is the GMI?
Friday we all get to see how Alibaba (BABA) trades.

Given a list of intervals (shown here with their indexes):
0: 1,3
1: 0,4
2: 5,7
3: 6,9
4: 2,8
And then given an arbitrary in and out from the list indexes, is there a good way to determine the min and max value from the inclusive corresponding intervals?
For example:
0,4 would give you
2,3 would give you
My current solution involves iterating over every interval in range, keeping mins on the in-points and max on the out-points. Wondering if there is a data structure of algorithmic technique I am overlooking to make this faster for when the list of intervals is very long. As the list of intervals does not change, maybe there is some model I can create up front to represent the data differently?

It's not every day that you get to dine inside Gringott's Bank – but that's exactly what happened when I was invited into the Australian High Commission in London (one of the Harry Potter film sets) for an evening of gourmet food and wine inspired by the Aussie state of New South Wales.
Cape Town's Big Five
A holiday to South Africa is usually all about safari. It's an experience that most people want to have at least once in their life, and for good reason. There's something both thrilling and calming about waking up early for dawn drives followed by a heavy dose of relaxation until sunset, when you venture out once more in the hope that you'll spot the Big Five. Lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo and leopards all feature on this list, and a safari without seeing at least a few of these magnificent creatures is a disappointing safari indeed.

In Cape Town: Climbing Table Mountain & Lion's Head
If you have any plans to visit Cape Town, make sure you pack your workout gear.
Table Mountain is the icon of Cape Town. It looms above the South African city as if to protect it, and from everywhere in and around the city you'll find it peeking out from behind a building here or majestically rising above the skyline there; ever present, ever spectacular. From the top of the mountain the views across the city and over the ocean to Robben Island and beyond are breathtaking. Hundreds of thousands of visitors take the cable car to the top each year, and although it's definitely an experience to add to your bucket list, the most rewarding way to get to the top of Table Mountain is to climb.
When I was in Cape Town recently I finally mustered the courage, after taking the cable car on countless occasions, to embark on the daunting climb up Platteklip Gorge…and then went on to hike up neighbouring Lion's Head a couple of days later. I filmed both climbs, which you can see here – and below I've written in more detail how you can climb Table Mountain and Lion's Head on your visit to Cape Town.

Travel Tuesday: Bonfire Night Edition
Hello November! The cold weather hasn't quite hit us here in London yet (which, trust me, I am not complaining about) but the wintery festivities are almost upon us – the Oxford Street lights get switched on this week, which signals the unofficial start of the Christmas season and this week also marks Guy Fawkes Night, sometimes called Bonfire Night. It's a chance to drink mulled wine, watch fireworks and hang out with friends.
What to wear on Bonfire Night
Even though it's warm for this time of year, the nights are still chilly so it's best to be a little snug. Gloves, a hat and a woolly jumper are just what you'll need…for Bonfire Night and pretty much the rest of the season!

Travel Tuesday: Travel Film Edition
It's started. Winter, that is. The clocks have now gone back and darkness is descending earlier than I consider to be fair. Today, as I watched the sun set at about 4:30pm, I witnessed thousands and thousands of birds flying south for the winter. I envied them.
Although sunshine is not in my immediate future, the dropping temperatures and lengthened nights do mean one thing: socially acceptable hibernation. If, like me, you love settling under a blanket in front of a good movie, these films are just what you need to get through winter (and get a taste of some of the best destinations around the world at the same time)…

An Istanbul Day Trip Itinerary
I've now been to Istanbul three times, but never for more than 48 hours at a time. It's not enough. The first time I visited I had just 6 hours and, although I saw a whole load of amazing things then, I was left wanting more of this enchanting, exotic and frenetic city. The following two visits allowed me to experience some of the things I'd missed the first time, which also happen to be the main attractions of Istanbul. Follow my Istanbul day trip itinerary for a guide to seeing the main attractions of the city in one day – and check out my video at the end! I'm delving into the world of vlogging and I'd love for you to subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Travel Tuesday: Cape Town Edition
I knew I liked Cape Town before my recent visit – I've been a number of times before and it's the kind of city that's impossible not to like. But I didn't expect to fall deeply, madly in love with the place. In just 6 days (4 really, as two were knocked off my time due to a nasty stomach bug) I was smitten, and am trying to plot how I can get back there ASAP. I'll be posting more about my time in South Africa soon, but here's a taste of what Cape Town has to offer:
What to wear for a day in Cape Town:
Cape Town can be beautifully sunny one moment, and incredibly windy the next, so it's important to layer up (especially if you're heading up Table Mountain). Its also a trendy city with pockets of hipster cool – so it's not a destination for khaki shorts and t-shirts. This cute little outfit is comfortable, trendy and works for hot or cooler weather. Don't forget your lipstick!

Travel Tuesday: Cruise Stop Edition
As I've mentioned before, destinations are one of my favourite parts of a cruise. Having just a day (or a few hours) in a new place means you need to make the most of your time to see and do what you can without exhausting yourself. Instead of trying to tick off loads of sights, I try to stick to one or two attractions and I spend the rest of my time walking, absorbing the atmosphere and, of course, sampling local food. If you're not sure how to maximise your time on shore, here are a few resources to help you explore a new destination with confidence!
What to pack for a cruise shore day:
Aside from the obvious items you'd take (camera, money and your SeaPass), here are a few things to pack in your day bag: water is a must, as sometimes it's hard to find while you're walking around and you'll dehydrate quickly in a hot destination. It's always a good idea to pack swimming gear too, because you never know when the opportunity to jump into a beautiful pool or ocean will present itself. Pack a pair of comfy, flat shoes (these FlopZ come in their own bag so you won't get your other stuff dirty) for beach walks or in case you end up with blisters. And finally, stay sun smart, stylish travellers! Sunglasses, hat and sunscreen should always be in your bag.

10 Reasons to Love Travelling on a Cruise
If you've never been on a cruise before this whole way of travelling may seem like a bit of a mystery to you. Cruises certainly seemed mysterious to me before I tried one for myself. Beforehand, I wasn't quite convinced that a cruise was for me but now, having been lucky enough travel on three, I'm hooked. If you have cruised before I'm sure you'll agree with all of the below but in case you're still unsure, here are 10 reasons to love travelling on a cruise: Continue reading

KDevelop 4.3 Does Basic C++11
Published on 21 March 2012 08:57 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
6 Comments
After spending nearly a year developing the IDE, KDevelop 4.3 is now available. Among the features of this updated program is support for basic C++11.
The basic C++11 support in KDevelop 4.3 comes down to partial support with understanding initializer lists, lambdas, range-based for loops, and variadic templates. Plus other C++11 features are supported as well as many of the new standard library classes, but support for C++11 within KDevelop isn't yet finalized.
The KDeveloper 4.3 integrated development environment also offers editor restoration, enhanced VCS integration, KDE Projects integration, improved Konsole integration, source formatting, optimizations, and various bug-fixes.
More information on KDevelop 4.3 can be learned (or to download this open-source program) from

IBM Vt layoffs estimated at more than 300July 04,2013
IBMs layoffs put
at more than 300
MONTPELIER The states labor commissioner estimated that IBM laid off more than 300 Vermont workers in its recent round of job cuts, but a firmer total should be known by the end of next week.
Annie Noonan said IBM is required to notify the Labor Department within 24 hours of job separations becoming final, which is set to happen July 12.
She said by then the state should have a reliable figure of the total job cuts made public last month.
IBM has a policy of not releasing layoff totals.
Noonan said her estimate of about 310 layoffs is based on the number of IBM employees who have been showing up at state-run seminars on seeking new work.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The mid-November deadline has passed and the resumes are all in, but the number of...

Yes i agree with hassun! If the story is good it could be 6 episodews or even 1000 Idont care as long as it is good!
I honestly don't care. As long as it's good and engaging, It can be any number. It would have to maintain the good storyline though, and not mess up to make it look like crap. The reason Naruto is over 200 is because 60+ are fillers, which are crap. Not many people enjoy or even watch them.
If I had to choose a number though, It'd be anywhere from 30 to 80 episodes.
I won't let this world exist without me! If I die, we all die! / Avatar & Signature by anime_8000.
Yes i agree with hassun! If the story is good it could be 6 episodews or even 1000 Idont care as long as it is good!
I tryed to see things from your point of view but i cant seem to get my head that far up my ass!

I think if the story is great it really don't matter how long is it. Also it helps a lot when the anime has good music. My favorite anime "Saint Seiya" has over 140 episodes and they still not finish.
Life and Death are always one and the sameEVEN IF A RAINBOW IS BROKEN THERE'S STILL THE SKY
The number of episodes isnt what makes an anime preferable over another, its overall storyline, etc does. Series such as FLCL can fit its story in less than 10eps and still be great and there are series such as well...lets see, I guess for people in the US series such as Naruto or Inuyasha will ring a bell for the "longer" series...although Inuyasha never really finished and Naruto is STILL going on. Hell, look at one of Japan's longest running anime: "Doraemon", I've lost track on how many years its been on. 20, 25, 30yrs+!? (Although I believe that recently its been "renewed".)
->:Be descriptive in your posts or its like you didnt post at all:<-
|The "RULES" of AO|My AO Gallery|YouTube|AnimeSuki|
I think for me it would be 26 a series. But I still love watching Bleach and Naruto even though they have over 100 episodes.
With 26 eps it allows them the right about of eps that can fully cover the story line without missing out too much of the story and not use too many fillers.
FAVOURITE THREADS EXPLAIN why, or risk an infraction.
| Sazzy-Bu.co.uk | My Deviant Art | Anime Vector | Otaku Zen | My Twitter | My Tumblr | My last.fm |
13 is the best for me, because I don't have that much time to watch anime. I don't know, I also think that ou should have enough with 13 to show a good story, I don't search for every day entertainment in an anime, I search for that in cartoons, anime is something more special for me...
26 is also good, if the story line is nice... I'm ready to go to 30 but over that is just too much for me... it means that's kind of a "a new day, a new fight, a new story" anime and I just don't have the time, I just get to understand such anime, about what it is, find out how it ends and that's enough ^^
My recommended fanfic: "Dreamer" by Scourge
I find that unless your going for an amazing anime like DBZ or Naruto that 26 episodes is enough to do it. You can still fir plenty of story into that amount of time and if some of the best animes are 26 episode series, such as Gungrave and Outlaw Star.

Peace Activists Admit to Role in FBI Burglary That Exposed COINTELPRO
One of the great mysteries of the Vietnam War era has been solved. In 1971, a group of peace activists broke into an FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania, and lifted files that helped reveal the FBI's elaborate program of illegally spying on political groups. The documents, given to journalists at the time, provided the first hints of a secret counter intelligence program, or COINTELPRO, the FBI's secret program to infiltrate, monitor and disrupt social movements. The burglars called themselves the Citizens' Commission to Investigate the FBI. They were never caught. But decades later, a number of them are coming forward for the first time. The idea for the burglary came from William Davidon, a physics professor and leader of civil disobedience against the Vietnam War. Davidon died last year. Also involved were a social worker named Bob Williamson and John and Bonnie Raines, a married couple with children. Convinced the FBI was infiltrating peace groups, they hatched a plan to stage the break-in on the night of a major championship boxing match. Another of the burglars, Keith Forsyth, described his motivation in a video produced by Retro Report.
Keith Forsyth: "Once I got over the shock of thinking that this was the nuttiest thing I'd ever heard in my life, I'm like, this is a great idea, because we're not going to make any allegations; we're going to take their own paperwork, signed by their own people, including J. Edgar Hoover, and give it to the newspapers. So, let's see you argue with that. I definitely see parallels between [Edward] Snowden's case and our case. What we revealed changed public opinion, which is why the laws were changed. If revealing ourselves is going to get people arguing with each other about what the FBI did then and what the NSA is doing now, I think that's a good thing."
Forsyth was arrested in a separate action months after the burglary by a group of FBI agents who were monitoring the raid of a draft office in Camden, New Jersey. Bob Williamson was also arrested. Their role in the burglary, however, was not revealed until now. Ahead of the burglary, Bonnie Raines cased the office while posing as a college student. While there, she confirmed the office did not have a security system. Raines describes her role in the video.
Bonnie Raines: "I was to call the office and make an appointment as a Swarthmore student doing research on opportunities for women in the FBI. So they gave me an appointment. I tried to disguise myself as best I could, and I went to say goodbye, and I acted confused about where the door was, and that gave me a chance then to check out both rooms and know where the file cabinets were."
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover assigned nearly 200 agents to investigate the burglary –- in particular, they were told to hunt for the mysterious college girl who had come to the office. But the case was closed when the statute of limitations expired five years later. The story is told in a new book by Betty Medsger, a former Washington Post reporter who received the documents from the burglars. Three other burglars have chosen to remain anonymous.
Record Cold Temperatures Envelop United States
Record cold temperatures are blasting the Midwest and Eastern United States again today as a so-called polar vortex has descended as far south as Texas and Florida. In Chicago, it was negative 16 degrees Fahrenheit Monday, or as low as negative 42 with the wind chill. In northern Minnesota, it was negative 40 degrees Fahrenheit — that is the actual air temperature, not the wind chill. Here in New York, the temperatures plunged roughly 50 degrees in a matter of hours.
U.S. Accelerates Military Shipments to Iraq
The United States is ramping up its delivery of military equipment to help Iraq battle militants who have overrun parts of Anbar province, including the city of Fallujah. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said the United States would deliver Hellfire missiles and surveillance drones as part of a "holistic" strategy to oust the militant group known as the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.
Jay Carney: "Now, this situation remains fluid, and it's too early to tell or make conclusions about it. But we're accelerating our foreign military sales deliveries and are looking to provide an additional shipment of Hellfire missiles as early as this spring. These missiles are one small element of that holistic -– excuse me -– strategy, but they have been proven effective at denying ISIL the safe haven zones that it has sought to establish in western Iraq."
Israel Approves New Settlements After Kerry's Visit
Israel has given final approval to a new round of settlements in the occupied West Bank as Secretary of State John Kerry wrapped up his visit to the region Monday. The plan includes 272 apartments in two different settlements. Israel had reportedly held off on announcing new settlements in order to avoid embarrassing Kerry during his visit. Meanwhile, thousands of African migrants gathered in Tel Aviv for a third day today to protest Israel's indefinite detention policies and demand asylum and work rights.
U.N.: Half of Central African Republic Needs Aid
The United Nations is warning conditions in Central African Republic are rapidly deteriorating with nearly one million people now displaced by sectarian violence. Heavy fighting erupted last month between Christian militias and Muslim rebels who had seized power in a coup in March. Jeffrey Feltman, U.N. under-secretary-general for political affairs, said more than 750 people have been confirmed dead in the capital Bangui alone. He warned of a deepening humanitarian crisis.
Jeffrey Feltman: "According to the latest information, approximately 2.2 million people in the CAR need humanitarian assistance –- close to half the population of the country. One in every two inhabitants of Bangui have sought refuge outside their homes. Their numbers are estimated at approximately 513,000 of whom 100,000 are at a makeshift camp at the airport."
Supreme Court Halts Same-Sex Marriages in Utah
The Supreme Court has halted same-sex marriages in Utah. Nearly 1,000 LGBT couples have gotten married since a federal judge struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage late last month. But Monday's decision puts those unions in limbo, while Utah defends the ban before an appeals court. The case could end up before the Supreme Court.
Chicago Gun Ban Struck Down by Judge
A federal judge has struck down Chicago's ban on handgun sales. The 2010 measure banned gun shops within the city and barred gun owners from leaving home with their weapons. U.S. District Judge Edmond Chang ruled the ordinance went too far. The number of murders in Chicago has dropped to the lowest level in half a century, but Chicago still leads the country in homicides, with more than 400 committed last year.
Senate Confirms Yellen as 1st Woman to Chair Federal Reserve
The Senate has confirmed Janet Yellen as the next chair of the Federal Reserve, replacing Ben Bernanke. Senators voted 56 to 26 to confirm Yellen, with 11 Republicans joining Democrats in her favor. Yellen is the first woman to head the central bank in its 100-year history.
Liz Cheney Abandons Bid for Wyoming Senate Seat
Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has abandoned her plan to run for the Republican Senate nomination in Wyoming, citing "serious health issues" in her family. A recent poll showed incumbent Sen. Mike Enzi had a 52-point lead over Cheney. Her campaign was marred in part by a public spat over same-sex marriage with her sister Mary, who is a lesbian and married.
Texas Hospital Keeps Brain-Dead Woman on Life Support Because She is Pregnant
In Texas, a hospital is keeping a brain-dead woman on life support against the wishes of her family because she is pregnant. Marlise Munoz collapsed in late November, likely because of a blood clot in her lungs. At the time she was 14 weeks pregnant, a stage when the fetus is months away from viability. Doctors say Munoz has no brain activity. But the hospital in Fort Worth is citing a Texas law they say forbids removing a pregnant woman from life support. The woman's husband, Erick Munoz, told a local ABC station his wife explicitly told him she never wanted to be on life support.
Erick Munoz: "We talked about it. We were both paramedics. We've seen things out in the field, and we both knew that we didn't want to be on life support. You've reached a point where, you know, you wish your wife's body would stop."
Despite her family's pleas, the hospital reportedly plans to keep Munoz on life support for the next several weeks until the fetus is potentially viable. At least a dozen states have statutes that force women to stay on life support against their previous directives if they are pregnant.
Steubenville Rapist Released After Less Than a Year in Juvenile Prison
A former high school football player who raped a 16-year-old girl in Steubenville, Ohio, has been released from juvenile prison less than a year after his conviction. Ma'lik Richmond received a year-long sentence last March. A second teenager convicted in the case, Trent Mays, is serving a two-year sentence. The case drew national attention following the emergence of images and social media postings from the night of the attack.
Trial Opens for SAC Manager Accused of Record Insider Trading Scheme
Jury selection begins today in the trial of a former hedge fund employee accused of orchestrating the largest insider trading scheme in U.S. history. Mathew Martoma, a former portfolio manager for SAC Capital, is charged with conducting illegal trades based on inside information about the development of an Alzheimer's drug. Prosecutors say the scheme earned SAC Capital $276 million in profits and averted losses. Last year, SAC Capital, which is owned by billionaire Steven Cohen, agreed to plead guilty to fraud and pay a record $1.8 billion to settle charges of "systematic insider trading."
Former FCC Chair Joins Secretive Carlyle Group
The former head of the Federal Communications Commission is starting a new job at the secretive private equity firm the Carlyle Group. Nicknamed "the Ex-President's Club," Carlyle's roster has included a long list of powerful figures, including both Bush presidents. Carlyle owns a majority stake in Booz Allen Hamilton, the military contractor that employed Edward Snowden. Julius Genachowski, who led the FCC for four years under President Obama, will serve as a managing director and partner, specializing in telecommunications.

JAMESTOWN—Last Thursday evening, the Jamestown School Committee unanimously voted to give high school students the option to attend Narragansett High School, beginning in September 2015. The decision comes after a long discussion between the two school districts, one which Jamestown School Committee Chair Cathy Kaiser has said does not affect the town's relationship with North Kingstown, where high school-age students from Conanicut Island currently attend public school.
NORTH KINGSTOWN—Town Solicitor James Reilly was on hand Monday evening to give his take on the school district's legal justification for entering into a lease agreement without the council's approval. North Kingstown School District's attorney Mary Ann Carroll said last week that the five-year lease for a new administrative building in Quonset was allowed under Rhode Island law.
NORTH KINGSTOWN—Plans for the restoration of the Old Town House moved one step closer Monday evening as the town council approved its final location, as well as a $66,000 contract to Martone Service, Co. for the structure's foundation.
The town house, originally built in 1807, was moved from its previous site at Cranston-Murphy Funeral Home, but the structure has remained in limbo, sitting on steel beams while the council has debated location alternatives and construction estimates over the past several months.
NORTH KINGSTOWN—Although last Tuesday's elections have passed, the race for North Kingstown Town Council remains in flux as town councilman Richard Welch has called for a recount. Welch, who finished 64 votes behind fifth place winner Ellen Waxman, applied with the Rhode Island Board of Elections on Friday to have a recount.
The recount is scheduled to take place today at 9 a.m. at RIBE's offices in Cranston. According to North Kingstown Town Clerk Jeannette Alyward, she and two members of the town's board of canvassers will assist in the recount.
NORTH KINGSTOWN—For years, the names of Capt. Leroy H. Allen and Walter McGinn had been known by North Kingstown residents as veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice in service of their country. On Tuesday morning, their names were at long last added to the monument at Veterans Memorial Park.
"Although Capt. Allen was the town's first war casualty, his name was inexplicably left off this monument when it was first erected," said former state representative Larry Ehrhardt. "Five of his grandchildren are here today to remedy that oversight."
EXETER-WEST GREENWICH— The Lady Scarlet Knights have had an up and down 2014 season, but this past Thursday in the preliminary stage of the Division I girls soccer playoffs, Exeter-West Greenwich survived on their own home field in a double-overtime win versus 10th seeded Bay View Academy.
After facing off earlier this season in East Providence at Bay View High School and coming away with a 2-0 victory over the Bengals, the Scarlet Knights were poised to have a repeat performance again as they entered the playoffs as the seventh seed.
NORTH KINGSTOWN—Candidate Vic Pichette did not gain a seat on the next council, but the Republican was congratulating his colleagues on Tuesday evening at the Carriage Inn and Saloon for their party's big gains.
"I am thrilled," he said. "I am ok with losing, and I mean that."
NORTH KINGSTOWN—On a night when many Democratic candidates in the local elections fell to Republican challengers, at the state level the parties for North Kingstown will be more evenly represented.
Incumbents Robert Craven, Sr., a Democrat, and Republican Doreen Costa won House Districts 32 and 31. Craven took 51.8 percent of the overall vote, while challenger and Republican Sharon Gamba gained 47.8 percent.
EAST GREENWICH- Republican candidate Mark Gee has taken the District 35 Senate Seat that includes East Greenwich, North Kingstown, Narragansett and South Kingstown.
Gee took the seat with 5,642 votes over opponent Democrat James Callaghan with 4,729 votes. After serving on the East Greenwich Town Council from 2010 until 2014 and the East Greenwich Board of Fire Commissioners from 2008 to 2013, Gee will continue to serve the residents of East Greenwich as Senator. Â
EXETER—Residents in Exeter may not have gotten a recall of the town council this past year, but two sitting town councilmen will not be back as Republicans Kevin McGovern and Daniel Patterson gained places at the table.
Incumbents on the Exeter Town Council Robert Johnson and William Monahan received onLY 9.6 and 9.3 percent, respectively of the town vote, while Independent Raymond Morrissey Jr. gained the most nods with 1,274 to become the next council president.
