Man Wore Makeup, Fake Uniform To Impersonate Officer
(CBS Seattle) — Authorities in Oregon are looking for a man they say impersonated a police officer in order to pull over and rob a woman in Woodburn, southwest of Portland Saturday night.
According to The Oregonian, the woman told police the man was wearing dark makeup to make his skin look darker and he redrew his eyebrows using makeup. He was also wearing a dark-colored uniform. The victim told police she saw a dark car with flashing lights behind her and pulled over. The fake cop asked for her license and registration and when the woman reached for the glove box, she said the man reached into the car, snatched her purse and walked quickly back to his car and drove off. The man's uniform had "Jaime" embroidered above the left shirt pocket with a badge hanging below it and a shiny patch on the sleeve, The Oregonian reported. The woman also told investigators the car didn't have its headlights on, but flashing red and blue lights near the dashboard were visible.
The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office and Woodburn Police Department are looking for the suspect.

Complex Life May Be Possible In Only 10% of All Galaxies
Re:Let's do the math (304 comments)
For the record, I agree that "MightyMartian" was a bit harsh, and I did enjoy reading your rebuttal. But with that said, I have a question. My understanding of the "big bang" is that the singularity began to exist and was all of space. And that it began to expand and continues to expand today. And that the expansion has not reached the point where we can no longer observe the beginning of space/time. Is this inaccurate?

You'll finally be able to hitch your wagon to the Sprint Spark LTE network in tablet fashion come this Friday. That's when Sprint plans to launch its first tablet with support for tri-band LTE. The device in question is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0, and other than the LTE radio, it looks to be the same device you can get now sans mobile data.
The rumors that Sprint was moving on from the Hesse era were true. After seven years at the helm of the Now Network, Dan Hesse is stepping aside so Sprint's parent company SoftBank can bring in someone new. Its choice is Marcelo Claure, the founder and current CEO of SoftBank subsidiary Brightstar.
Update: Bloomberg is reporting Dan Hesse will step down and be replaced in an announcement tomorrow, during which the plan to end pursuit of T-Mobile will also be discussed.
This one's short and sweet, folks: Sprint has dropped its efforts to purchase T-Mobile according to the Wall Street Journal, citing the perpetually present "people familiar with the matter." According to said persons, SoftBank and Sprint decided the merger would simply be too difficult to accomplish in the face of federal regulators, an experience AT&T became all too familiar with back in late 2011, to the tune of a $4 billion severance fee.
French telecom company Iliad made a surprise bid for T-Mobile US late last week after months of rumors that Sprint and T-Mobile would be getting hitched. Iliad offered $15 billion for a 56.6% stake in T-Mobile, but now the Wall Street Journal is reporting that T-Mobile isn't even willing to entertain that deal and has opted not to give Iliad access to its financial data.
Sprint is continuing to expand the reach of its 4G LTE network, and today it has unveiled that faster data speeds are now available in seventeen new markets. Areas affected by this expansion stretch from coast to coast, though a third of them are concentrated in the Northeast. Both New York and Pennsylvania see three markets apiece join the ranks, with the large Buffalo and Pittsburgh metropolitan areas accounting for the most people.
One of the features LG pushed hard with the announcement of the G3 was its Knock Code screen locking feature. While the device is asleep, you can tap on the screen in predefined locations to wake it and unlock instantly. Knock Code actually debuted on the G Pro 2, but now Sprint's G2 is getting it as well.
Dedicated Android fans will probably be a little disappointed that the latest update to HTC's One M8 flagship on Sprint doesn't include the bleeding edge 4.4.4. But it's pretty close, 4.4.3, and Sprint has thrown in a couple of notable expansions specifically for its network. In addition to the small back-end improvements in 4.4.3, the 2.16.651.4 release adds the Wi-Fi Calling feature that Sprint has been slowly rolling out for the last few months.
Looking to pick up a G3 on a US carrier of the non-magenta variety, and looking to do so on the cheap(-ish)? Best Buy may have the deal just for you - they're offering LG's latest flagship for $100 off the normal 2-year agreement price of $199, meaning you'll be paying half of what the carriers are asking if you walk into one of their stores today.
Granted, this probably means we'll be seeing the G3 at a discount a good amount over the course of its life, but if you just can't wait, this Best Buy offer is pretty good.
Sprint previously said today was the day for LG G3 preorders to start, but checking out the Sprint site seems to show the device ready for purchase right this moment. Sprint's store finder tool even reports it in stock all over the US. Oh, and you can get that snazzy (some might say gaudy) gold version of the G3 exclusively from Sprint.
The convergence of multiple devices can be a good thing. After all, who wants to carry a bunch of different stuff around when a single thing will do? This is, presumably, the rationale behind the Sprint LivePro, but maybe it's gone a little far. This is a mobile hotspot with a built-in projector and a battery that can charge your phone. The whole thing is, of course, powered by Android.

LLVM's Clang Is Working Better For Building Windows Programs
Published on 08 July 2014 07:15 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
7 Comments
While LLVM's Clang compiler is predominantly used on Linux, OS X, and BSD systems, the Microsoft Windows support has been a focus over the past several months and is reaching an improved state for building native Windows programs with Visual C++ compatibility.
Nearly all C++ features with Clang should now work well under Windows, LLVM/Clang can self-host using
the Clang-cl component
, and the Chrome/Firefox browsers can now successfully compile in the Clang Windows mode. There's also compatibility with the Microsoft record layout and as of this week clang-cl is compatible with Visual Studio 2013 and Clang supports all calling conventions up through Visual Studio 2012. Run-Time Type Information (RTTI) support was also completed.
Those interested in more information on the native Windows build support for LLVM's Clang C/C++ compiler can find out more via the
LLVM blog
. These latest improvements can be found in
that should be released in August.

Finally the Louvre
Ok third day at the Louvre. Again we woke early to be at the louvre before opening. This time without hitch. We spent 5 hours in the louvre certainly not enough time but well worth the visit. We ticked off some of the big ones, Mona Lisa, Venus di Milo. I really enjoyed the middle age area, seeing items 8000 years old in fantastic condition was amazing, to see items from when Man finally became a civilisation, started farming, building ...
We saw the entire Louvre - almost!
Following our wonderful wake-up coffee, fruit and pastries per Amy, we set off, via Metro, for the Louvre. It is here that I will mention that there are an awful lot of stairs down to these trains that hurtle through the underground, and so wonderfully often! but then there are more stairs to get back up to the street. Around famous tourist attractions one is treated to an escalator, ...

Chapter 7
Slytherin and Malfoy
(Year One)
Its only been two days and I was sick of Slytherin. I wasn't allowed to talk to any Gryffindor people with out insulting them. Yesterday Fred, George, Ron, Harry, and Hermione tried to sneak me into the Gryffindor common room but Percy saw me and ordered me out Immediately.
Pansy Parkinson is my partner for everything and she is so annoying she is constantly talking about Draco Malfoy as if they were going to get married.
Speaking of Pansy she thinks we are friends and tells me everything. She never shuts up and when I try to talk she cuts me off and goes on about her and Malfoy.
Every Chance Fred gets he is always asking about my dreams and every time I try to tell him someone always cuts in when they see me talking to him. Its always either Pansy, Malfoy, Crabe, or Goyle. They are all so annoying Fred and George are helping me plan how to prank all of them on the last day I'm in Slytherin which is perfect.
Hogwarts is amazing but Pansy is always getting me lost. I remember I was late to Herbology yesterday while Pansy was making up some ridiculous excuse Harry and Ron were laughing at me while Hermione was giving me a sympathetic look.
The first day sleeping in my Dorm I had a dream about Fred. It wasn't my normal dream this time he wanted to try and get close to me but every time he would get closer I would back away and he would start crying telling me that he needed me.
The second I knew I had a nightmare I just couldn't remember what it was about. All I know is Millicent was shaking me awake worried and I was I was crying and I was sweaty and a disaster.
It was my third day today. Pansy woke me up earlier this morning to tell all of us about how she had her dream about Malfoy and Harry and how they were fighting over her and of course she chose Malfoy.
I wanted to laugh so hard cause Harry would never date her in a million years.
As I was getting dressed Gray dropped a letter on my bed and it was very weird cause it wasn't from Hermione, Fred, George, Harry, or Ron. It was from Dudley.
I could hardly read it cause of his terrible hand writing.
Dear Darren,
Are things going well at that freak school of yours? I will never understand why you would want to go there in the first place. Listen I wanted to say sorry for getting you in trouble and having you get hit by Mom. She actually misses you and wants you to come home you should think about it.
Why would you want to get out of this house it's like paradise here we get whatever we want and you cold get away from Potter and his weirdo friends if he even has any for that matter.
Think about it. Mom said she would let you keep your Owl and everything. Just write me back and tell me what you think.
Dudley Dursley.
I screamed in rage and ripped the letter. I tried to keep myself from crying. How could they? I punched the wall and felt a snap in my hand.
I screamed again. This time in pain. No one in my dorm room was here to help me. "Crap!" I yelled letting go of my broken wrist and opening the door with one hand.
I was running down the halls trying to find the hospital wing when I ran into Hermione. When I mean Ran into Hermione I mean it we both fell on the fell causing my wrist to hurt even more.
"Darren are you okay?" She asked right when she asked I broke down crying and shook my head no. She helped me up accidentally clutching my bad wrist in her hand.
"Whats wrong?" She asked I couldn't manage to find the words until after five minutes of crying on her shoulder. "Hermione can you take me to the hospital wing? I broke my wrist and I will tell you all about it in the Hospital Wing." She looked sympathetic for me and nodded leading me to the Hospital wing.
"Sit down here and I will be back in a few minutes. Watch her please?" Madam Pomfrey said setting me down on a Hospital bed. Hermione nodded then turned to me as Madam Pomfrey walked away.
"Alright so before I came to Hogwarts Petunia was very disappointed in me and the day Harry and were supped to leave Dudley pushed me down the stairs leaving this bruise." I showed her rolling up the sleeve on my arm. I have an even worse one on my rib cage but I didn't want to show her that.
"So I was very angry and I couldn't control myself so I started yelling at him and Petunia heard and she slapped me for the second time ever. Today while getting dressed Dudley sent me a letter saying everyone missed me and I was just so mad that I wanted to cry. I ripped the letter and punched the wall. Hermione she hit me twice and after all the things they did to me when they found out I was a Wizard they expect me to go back?" Hermione was shocked she didn't say anything. All she did was hug me tight. I really needed it. I hugged her back expect with one hand cause the other hurt so bad.
"Look Darren if you want to you could come stay with me over the break for summer." She told me releasing the hug. I honestly had never been so happy before in my life.
"Hermione that would be lovely." She clapped her hands and did a little dance. Madam Pomfrey came back and stood right in front of me.
"Alright this will hurt but only for a little. You can scream if you want to but you need to get breakfast before your classes start." I nodded and she took my hand and with out a warning just popped it back into place. I shrieked in pain but held back the tears.
She smiled. "Your just like your mom such a brave girl." I smiled and nodded "People keep telling me that." I said sadly
I walked into The great hall just to get pulled out by someone. "Let me guess. Fred and George?" I asked before turning around. I heard them both laugh and of course I was right.
When Hermione realized I wasn't next to her she quickly ran back outside of the Great Hall to find me with The Weasley Twins.
"Why were you in the Hospital Wing?" George asked both of us. Before I could answer I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Malfoy.
"You really shouldn't be talking to them. I will tell Snape." I rolled my eyes and before I could answer Fred and George answered for me.
"Oh piss off Malfoy." Fred said first "She isn't a Slytherin anyways. She will always be a Gryffindor. So go tell Snape she will be gone in two days any ways." George finished
Malfoy glared at them then walked away pissed off. "I would say Malfoy has a crush on you." Fred said annoyed
"He's not the only one." George mouthed to me making me turn pink. Hermione giggled at George. "I'm going to go eat breakfast talk to you later." Hermione said walking into the great hall again. "Bye!" we all said in union
"Alright so Hospital Wing?" Fred asked I sighed and showed him my wrist which was fixed but still hurt a little and now had a bruised around it.
"I broke my wrist." They didn't seem surprised at all. "How?" George asked examining it while Fred joined in. "I punched a wall." They both stopped looking at my wrist and now was looked at me like I was Mental.
"Long story I will tell you guys later. Have any of you seen Harry?" They both shook their head no. Great. "But There is something you have been meaning to tell me." Fred said poking my stomach making me laugh a little cause I am very ticklish.
"Did I?" I asked knowing exactly what he was talking about. Fred and George rolled their eyes in sync. They will always be my favorite twins.
"I will write you about it okay? I promise. Tonight I will send Gray a letter telling you." Fred looked hopeful this time and George winked at him as I wondered off.
It was my third class of the day and Malfoy and Pansy would not leave me alone. I was ready to just bang their heads together and walk away.
On our way to our fourth class Malfoy was going on and on and on about how much he hates the twins and I have had enough of this annoying git.
"Shut up will you Malfoy. There is nothing wrong with the twins. They are both really nice and you don't even know them well enough to judge them. You just hate everyone Harry talks to. Why? Cause your jealous of Harry and I don't know why. Leave him and the Weasley's alone!" I shouted at him making a scene.
Malfoy smirked "How cute someone likes one of the twins." I felt all the blood out my face leave and I didn't know what to say.
His mouth dropped open when he realized he was right. He started laughing at me. "I can't believe it. Darren Skyes likes on of the Weasley twins." He yelled telling everyone
Just then I knew exactly what to say. "Wow Malfoy. You are really pathetic just because I don't like you doesn't mean you have to be jealous. You have Pansy here to keep you company."
That was the last sentence of the argument cause he shut up right after.
I was so happy of what I said to Malfoy that I kept a smile on my face for the rest of the day. I was now sitting down on my bed doing my homework. Pansy of course was soooo grateful of course for mentioning her name in the fight Malfoy and I had.
For once she actually asked me something and let me talk. "Is it true you like one of the Weasleys?" She asked I felt my face flush again and I nodded while writing down some stuff.
I heard her bed creak and she sat up straight on her bed. I think she was happy cause she realized I didn't like Malfoy.
"Which one?" She asked I bit my lip and didn't answer her for a little. "Fred." I finally mumbled
"This is great. You can be just like your mom and dad except you will be in Slytherin." My mouth dropped open. I realized what they were trying to do.
I got of bed. "Thank you Pansy." I said. This was a one time only thing. I ran out of the Slytherin common room and down to Professor McGongall's office.
"You guys know don't you." I asked sitting down in one of the chairs in front of her desk. She looked confused. "About?"
I sighed "About Fred and I. About how we have been having dreams about each other and you guys know we like each other. The sorting hat wasn't wrong you guys are just trying to re-create my Mom and Father. Aren't you? You guys want to see if the same thing can happen that happened Years ago?"

My partner has got to have a special diet, and I am at a loss what to do!
He is so bored with rice and potatoes.
He can't eat, soy, dairy, eggs, yeast, and can have wheat only on occasions, meat and all sea food is restricted to just once or twice a week..I have no idea what to cook him any more!!!
We do eat rice pasta and some cheese stuff called Daiya cheese, it is made with pea protein I think?
It has to be a low purine diet Thanks for any help u can give..
re: weezieduzzit
Thank you for trying, and letting me know about googling low purine diets..
Might be worth asking this on the special diets board as well as here.
I would recommend playing around with ingredients you can use. Making various soups to change up flavour combos, also making sauces and pesto's to liven up the rice dishes. Barley could perhaps be an ingredient to play with too.
I wish I could help you out more here!
re: wyogal
Thank you for the links
re: Hobbert
Ohhh why didn't I think of the library!! Thank you
re: PinkCooker
see if they have World Vegetarian, by Madhur Jaffrey
re: maple99
Hi they have a few of her books, and they are for Indian cooking not vegetarian, so when I go in next I am going to see if they will get it for me, sometimes they do..
I picked up a few others for vegetarian cooking as well, there is so many!! lol
re: PinkCooker
I've using Mridula Baljekar's books lately. I even bought one based on trying it out from the library.
The Mayo Clinic recommends the following menu plan for gout sufferers:
Whole-grain, unsweetened cereal with skim or low-fat milk, topped with fresh fruit
Whole-wheat toast with trans-free margarine
100 percent fruit juice
Lean meat, poultry or fish (2 to 3 ounces) sandwich on whole-wheat bread, with lettuce, tomato and low-fat spread
Carrot and celery sticks, side salad or vegetable soup
Fresh fruit, such as apple, orange or pear
Skim or low-fat milk
Baked or roasted chicken (2 to 3 ounces)
Steamed vegetables
Baked potato with low-fat sour cream
Green salad with tomatoes and low-fat dressing
Fresh fruit, such as berries or melon
Nonalcoholic beverage, such as water or tea
The entire article is here:
Personally, I think the recommendation upthread of consulting w a registered/accredited Dietitian is the best suggestion... Good Luck w everything!
re: PinkCooker
there are more modern, recent takes on dealing with gout. the mayo clinic is mired in old news and so is much of conventional western medicine. these are the people still touting grains and low-fat to diabetics.
please consider other alternatives:
There's a lot of info about purines on-line. Look at the low and moderate purine foods, it's not that bad, just stay away from the high purine stuff, certain fish species, beer etc. Also, taking ibuprophen helps the flair ups.
re: lrbarbie
canned coconut milk is a good alternative to cream in many foods, just like this soup. :)
I've grown to love Beans, Lentils etc.. here's a good recipe that's very good and I think checks all the boxes?
Red Lentil and Carrot soup with Coconut (note: Link stolen from another CH:-)
re: sparky403
Ohhh this looks so yummy!! I am going to try this on him tonight, he loves spicy kinds of foods, I know he can't have too much spice, but this is perfect! Thank you!
How about looking into vegan Indian recipes (obviously avoiding any soy in the ingredient lists).
That would provide lots of flavor/nutrition while meeting most of his dietary needs. Also, possibly vegetarian Mediterranean foods, specifically things like stuffed grape leaves, veggie spreads made from eggplant and/or roasted peppers...
re: desertginger
Wow I am so glad I wrote this here, I am getting a lot of great ideas and recipes! U people are all dolls!! Thank you
Sorry to hear of your partner's dietary troubles! Some great ideas here. I just wanted to say that if you tend to think of a meal as protein + starch, then that may be stumping you when meal planning. I do tend to think like that. Recently we had guests who are vegetarian, highly diabetic and on a gluten free diet currently. Once I stopped thinking of protein + starch, I came up with a very workable menu:
Quinoa salad with plenty of veggies (diced cucumber, roasted corn, halved cherry tomatoes) and a citrus dressing
Pinto bean soup
Golden sauteed eggplant rounds with a tomato chutney and little dollops of greek yogurt.
Fresh fruit for dessert if anyone wanted.
We were all so full from this veggie and grain rich meal, no one, including kids, wanted dessert.
re: sweetTooth
Thank you sweetTooth :-)
I love your idea, yes I do the same thing, I think of a meal the same way you do, and the menu you described sounds delicious.
I have never cooked eggplant before but I googled it and found a recipe I can easily adjust and do for him. For the yogurt instead of Greek, I can always use coconut yogurt.
re: PinkCooker
Thanks for the kind words! Ooh yes, coconut yogurt is yummy.
Do you have access to green (unripe) papayas where you are?
This recipe for spicy green papaya soup is awesome - and papaya is wonderful for a multitude of things, as well as reducing inflammation (the green papaya tastes nothing like the ripe papaya, it has very little flavour of its own)
I should add, from experience, that the coconut milk / cream you use can make a big difference. My favourites are Aroy-D, Chaokoh, and Kara. Make sure it's not the sweetened kind - those are for desserts.
Maybe google some vegan recipes as well (as long as they're also wheat free)
re: ursy_ten
Hi we have the ripe papaya in the markets only, but I can still look around, I am determined to find some now that I read the recipe..
re: PinkCooker
Good luck :) You might be able to find some green papaya at an Asian supermarket, if you're lucky enough to have one in your area.
Often they're the best places to pick up coconut cream as well.
re: PotatoHouse
Do u have the link for it? I looked and I couldn't find it, thanks..
re: PinkCooker
Just check under discussion boards then under topical.
re: Hobbert
Thank you, that was so obvious :-)
You could perhaps make some smoothies that are not dairy or soy based, using fruits in season as long as you do not have a restriction on acidic foods. My Dad was on a restricted protein diet, it can be complex, but we did manage, you really need to get some guidance on this issue. Soups can be filling, with a little protein to extend it.
re: Ruthie789
Yes smoothies are a fantastic idea, I got the wee boys drinking them, now I just got to convince my other half to join us :-)
re: PinkCooker
Another suggestions is to make hash browns of some sort, could possibly use like a meat pattie for burgers... Just a thought.
re: Ruthie789
I like this suggestion and I made a lentil burger from a recipe I got off the net, he was not too keen but he ate it and didn't complain too much :-)
You may need to do some tracking of foods to figure out what causes flare-ups for him. The list of purine-heavy foods is crazy-wide-ranging. My dude has problems with the Big Bad G, too, and one of his triggers, believe it or not, are those nice healthy legumes. Especially lentils, black-eyed peas, and garbanzos. Go figure. It seems to be different for every sufferer. It makes it VERY HARD to figure out how to circumvent flare ups! Good luck with everything, I'm off to explore some of the links provided here, too.
re: dingey
Thank you and yes there is so much info out there about gout and it is crazy, what effects one does not affect another!; but there are some good links here, and some good ideas.
re: PinkCooker
the internet can be the devil for info overload.
a word of caution about focusing on grains and legumes: they create inflammation in many and extended insulin elevations in most, causing further problems down the line. ex post facto, gout being an issue of inflammation...
for some, their issues with dairy and eggs are an intolerance to the krap nutritional profile from intensively, commercially farmed products. the garbage feed wreaks havoc with the animals. he may do fine with pastured/grass-fed.
re: hotoynoodle
Thank you for the info on grains and legumes, never thought of that!
Can hardly wait to see the specialist! Then we can straighten all this out for him..

"Medium - Yes it is"
After his first book and mild success, his writing and personality differ from the "okay tell all" attitude of Kitchen Confidential. He goes into long drawn out talks about himself and relationships with other pseudo popular chef types. The first part was interesting and the second was a challenge to sit through.
"Very informative"
I read this book on our first wedding anniversary vacation. This book revealed what I had suspected about my wife from the start. We took the quiz together and enjoyed the results. I recommend for everyone.

Ben Rubeor scored three goals and dished out two assists, as the Cavalier men's lacrosse team knocked off Maryland, 11-10, in the ACC semifinals. The win ensures that Virginia will get the chance to defend its conference title from a year ago.
The Wahoos clung to a 7-6 lead at the half, and opened up a three goal lead at 9-6 in the third quarter. The Terrapins made a fourth quarter charge, but were unable to come back for the win.
The Cavalier victory sets up a rematch with Duke, who won 13-9 in the other semifinal tonight. The Blue Devils handed Virginia its only conference loss of the season, 7-6, in overtime back on April 14th.
Sunday's championship game is set for 3:30 at Duke.

Feeling like the past ten days can not be topped at the moment. The next ten days are the most adventurous with bike rides and hopping from Florence to Rome by train. This morning we've left Paris and Venice is our next stop. Staying at the Santa Marina Hotel. Our flight is on Transavia and this has not been without problems. The board read gate 9.

There aren't many ingredients, so it was fairly easy to buy everything we needed - though we couldn't find parmesan so we used pecorino cheese instead. We cooked up ...

Greece to choose new finmin to tackle debt
ATHENS, June 26 (Reuters) – Greek coalition leaders aim to
agree on a new finance minister on Tuesday after their first
choice deepened the chaos surrounding the country's debt crisis
by resigning over ill health a few days after being named.
Vassilis Rapanos quit on Monday less than a week after the
conservative-led government took office with the huge task of
trying to persuade foreign lenders to soften the terms of an
international bailout that has enraged Greeks.
Greek PM to miss EU summit, "troika" postpones trip
ATHENS (Reuters) – Greece's new prime minister and incoming finance minister, who have been ill, will miss this week's EU summit when Athens will propose easing the terms of its bailout and international lenders have had to postpone a first meeting with the team.
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras underwent eye surgery on Saturday and Vassilis Rapanos is in hospital after suffering from nausea, intense abdominal pains and dizziness on Friday before he could be sworn in as finance minister.
Greek banker once jailed by junta takes on new fight
ATHENS, June 21 (Reuters) – As a young student, banker
Vassilis Rapanos was jailed in one of Greece's most infamous
prisons for fighting a military dictatorship.
Four decades later he is facing what may be an even bigger
battle as Greece's new finance minister, charged with
negotiating with foreign powers exasperated by the near-bankrupt
country's repeated failure to keep reform pledges.
Greek far-right defies predictions with vote success
ATHENS (Reuters) – The leader of Greece's ultra-right Golden Dawn party savored unexpected success in Sunday's election by taunting journalists and defiantly appearing on camera alongside a party official who went on the run for assaulting a leftist rival.
Hundreds of cheering supporters thronged the party's headquarters in Athens and officials threw ballot papers as confetti from windows after the group defied predictions to once again emerge as among the winners of the night.
Surprise success dims for Greek far-right party
DISTOMO, Greece, June 14 (Reuters) – Like most others in
this tiny village that lost 218 lives in a Nazi massacre in
1944, Mina Kotsiou looked on horrified as the extreme-right
Golden Dawn party emerged as a surprise winner in Greece's
inconclusive election last month.
Days before a second vote, she is confident that the rest of
Greece has caught on to what the central Greek village has known
for 68 years – that any group fond of Nazi salutes, Aryan
supremacist ideology and Adolf Hitler must only be feared.
Insight: In Greece, a painful return to country roots
KONITSA, Greece (Reuters) – Thirteen years after abandoning rural Greece for a career in graphic design, Spiridoula Lakka finds herself in the last place she expected to end up – watering a patch of lettuce and herbs in her sleepy village.
As Greece sank into its worst economic crisis since World War Two, Lakka had already given up her dream of becoming a web designer. Even waitressing seemed impossible. She faced a simple choice: be stranded without money in Athens, or return to the geriatric village where she grew up plotting to escape.

Greek Socialist fails to form government, vote beckons
ATHENS (Reuters) – Greek Socialist leader Evangelos Venizelos on Saturday becomes the last political leader to throw in the towel after failing to cobble together a government, leaving the country's president with one final chance to avoid new elections.
Greece's political landscape is in disarray after voters humiliated the only parties backing a rescue plan tied to spending cuts, leaving no bloc with enough seats to form a government to secure the next tranche of financial aid.
Olympics-Olympia torch lighting starts London countdown
ANCIENT OLYMPIA, Greece, May 10 (Reuters) – The countdown to
the London Olympics began with the kindling of the Games torch
by the sun's rays in ancient Olympia on Thursday, sparking a
relay that will culminate with the lighting of the Olympic
stadium's cauldron at the opening ceremony on July 27.
On a warm and sunny day at the site of the ancient Olympics,
actress Ino Menegaki, playing the high priestess, appealed to
sun God Apollo and needed only a few seconds to ignite the torch
at the ruins of the Temple of Hera with the help of a parabolic
mirror, 78 days before the Games get under way.
Torch designers flattered by "cheese grater" label
ANCIENT OLYMPIA, Greece (Reuters) – British designers Jay Osgerby and Edward Barber spent 18 months developing a fail proof Olympic torch that could withstand snow, driving rain and gusty winds, only to see it ultimately likened to a cheese grater.
The duo say they were delighted with the nickname for their gold-coloured torch for the London Games.

Is Chabad Lubavitch?
John Baird at Kfar Chabad 521.

Is Chabad Lubavitch? Is Lubavitch Chabad? Are the two terms
– "Chabad" and "Lubavitch" – synonymous? Chabad is an acronym; Lubavitch is a
town. Chabad represents a hassidic philosophy; Lubavitch the ancestral home of a
hassidic court. They are not synonymous. Cryptic though it may sound, Lubavitch
is Chabad, but Chabad is not only Lubavitch.Chabad is an acronym for
hochma (wisdom), bina (understanding), da'at (knowledge) – the three
intellectual faculties in the kabbalistic system of viewing the world. The
acronym refers to the school of hassidic thought pioneered by one of the early
and influential hassidic masters, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Lyady (1745-1812).
Rabbi Shneur Zalman taught that the mind must rule over the heart; it is the
intellect that should define our relationship with the Almighty. This school
focuses on developing a methodological approach to understanding God. The
seminal text of the Chabad school of thought is Rabbi Shneur Zalman's Tanya,
which was first printed in 1797.Lubavitch – or Lyubavichi, as it is
known – is today in Russia. The town is most famously associated with the
contemporary branch of hassidism that has a worldwide presence. Hassidic masters
of this branch are descended from Rabbi Shneur Zalman, and the branch takes its
philosophy from Rabbi Shneur Zalman's writings.Was Rabbi Shneur Zalman a
"Lubavitcher"? Born in Liozna, he moved to Lyady later in life and was buried in
Hadiach. As a young boy, Shneur Zalman had studied under Rabbi Yissachar Ber of
Lubavitch – presumably in his teacher's city. Later, some of his opponents who
sought to undermine his authority lived in Lubavitch. We might well ponder
whether Rabbi Shneur Zalman would have felt any affection for that town. But
either way, calling Rabbi Shneur Zalman a "Lubavitcher" would be
anachronistic.After Rabbi Shneur Zalman died, his son and successor,
Rabbi Dov Ber Shneuri (1773-1827) settled in Lubavitch, and it was from his base
in this town that he led his disciples. The custom among most – but not all –
hassidic groups is that the branch of hassidism takes and preserves its name
from where the founders of that branch lived. Lubavitch, therefore, takes its
name from the town where Rabbi Dov Ber led his disciples. Rabbi Dov Ber's
son-in-law and successor, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn (1789- 1866) – known
by the title of his multi-volume work, Tzemah Tzedek – also presided in that
town, as did his son after him, Rabbi Shmuel (Maharash,
1834-1882).Maharash's son, Rabbi Sholom Dov Ber (Rashab, 1860-1920) was
born in Lubavitch, but during World War I he fled to Rostov-on-Don. That
signaled the end of the presence of hassidic masters in Lubavitch, although the
name "Lubavitch" continued – and continues – to live on as a hassidic
identity.Why did Lubavitch Hassidim not call themselves "Lyady
Hassidim," after the founder's town? The answer lies in understanding that
Chabad is not only Lubavitch. After Rabbi Shneur Zalman's death, his disciples
split between his son – the aforementioned Rabbi Dov Ber – and his prime
student, Rabbi Aharon Halevi Horowitz (1766-1828), who established a rival
Chabad school in Strashelye. Rabbi Aharon was a prolific writer and his brand of
Chabad was popular. When he died, he was succeeded by his son, Rabbi Haim
Raphael (d. 1842). Alas, when Rabbi Haim Raphael died, the Strashelye branch of
Chabad did not continue.This was not the only non-Lubavitch branch of
Chabad. When the Tzemah Tzedek – Rabbi Shneur Zalman's grandson – died in 1866,
he was succeeded in Lubavitch by his youngest son. Some of his other children
and grandchildren established Chabad hassidic courts in the towns of Kopys,
Lyady, Nizhyn, Lubavitch, Rezekne and Babruysk. Thus, in the generation of Rabbi
Shneur Zalman's great-grandchildren, there were Lyady Hassidim in addition to
Lubavitch Hassidim, and both courts adhered to the Chabad philosophy. Kopys, one
of the other Chabad branches, even produced important works in Chabad
philosophy.Given this account, why is it commonly assumed that
"Lubavitch" and "Chabad" are synonymous? Lubavitch is the only surviving branch
of Chabad Hassidism, and hence the custodian of Rabbi Shneur Zalman's Chabad
philosophy.The writer is on the faculty of the Pardes Institute of
Jewish Studies and is a rabbi in Tzur Hadassah.

The exodus of players to Europe continued on Day 5 of the lockout with Boston Bruins young star Tyler Seguin signing a deal with Biel of the Swiss League.
Seguin's agent, Ian Pulver, confirmed that a deal with Biel is all but completed and that Seguin would join the team soon.
But when asked about Seguin's reasons for joining the Swiss League team, Pulver was rather cryptic.
"I'm not going to get into the reasons," Pulver said. "I can confirm he will play there and leave it at that."
Seguin signed a six-year deal with the Bruins over the summer worth $34.5 million.

"Decent follow up to the first book"
It is starting to get into the community aspect of the Disease and what people are still capable of. It was touched on before briefly in the first book, but not on this scale. Plus there was more on the world wide effect of the entire issue.
I think I really would like to see what happened to our trio. I saw that he has a 3rd book set to come out soon and I might be inclined to get that.
Prit - his conveys the Ukrainian's determination and spirit.
It was a book I had the opportunity to listen to all in one sitting - which is very rare for me. If I had my way I would do that for all the books I listen to/read.
I like the format change from the first book - this volume shows more than just the main character's out look and it's not written as a journal this time.
"Worth it even if you don't have a credit available"
Yes - I really liked the route that they went with this book - I would never have guessed the ending
I personally have not read anything that I could really compare it to - maybe Matilda but for adults
I don't really have a favorite scene - I loved the whole thing
When the relationship between the doctor and the little girl changed - and the alpha emerged
I hope that there is a second book because I do want to see what happens to others because of the little girl's closing actions.
"Slow Beginning But Worth Staying Around For"
I am starting to listen to books more and more - I don't really have time for reading nowadays and this allows me to get my much needed "fix"
The main character - Officer Desdemona Fox - was not relatable at all. There are strong female characters and there are annoying ones. She was annoying. The story was pretty good and the other characters were ok (not much depth) but over all, Fox almost had me putting this book down. I also think that the theory of the parasite has some major flaws but I liked the reasoning of the doctor - that was something that would be fitting.
I have not but he did really well. He definitely put a lot of heart into this performance and I look forward to hearing some of his other work.
Probably some thing like This Is How The World Ends or something about a Death Storm.
Of the Zombie novels that I have read - this one is probably top 20 but not top 15. I like the background leading up to the Doctor's reasoning of creating this strain but there were a lot of flaws and holes in the story that were never really discussed and the main character, Officer Desdemona Fox, was a real annoyance. I am all for strong female leads, but when they are written like that, I would much rather have the male lead than what her character was from the beginning up to the very last page. I will probably not read this again but I would recommend it to others for something to pass the time with.
"Good Trilogy Ending"
I have started to like audio books a lot because of great narrators like Nick Podehl. Before I had been a die-hard hard-copy person and didn't have much time for audio books - but have recently changed my mind because of the great performances that I have listened to - like Nick Podehl/.
Yes I would - I know that a lot of this book was filled with the impossible, but some times that is just what I need.
OMG yes - I wish that we had a way to keep a list of our favorite narrators on this site.
**SPOILER** These characters were in so many impossible situations, and got out of most of them, that when my favorite character Prit didn't make it out of his - it hurt. I read these kind of books for the impossible and when your get attached to a character, it hurts to see when they don't make it out of the situation.
The end was a little rushed and I feel that there could have been a lot more done with it - but overall, this trilogy was a good read.
"Ron Perlman has everything you want!"
It is in my top 5 now - I just wish that Ron Perlman had been the one to read the rest of the books in this trilogy.
Setrakian - the old professor. I love how they kept doing flash backs of his life and previous encounters.
Everything - absolutely everything. I love his voice, the personality that he gave all the characters, just everything.
Yes it was and I was actually able to listen to a lot of it on a car trip.
Seriously wish that Ron Perlman had been the one to read the other books - listened to the sample and it's just not the same. I am probably just going to buy the hardcopy of the following books to read to myself instead of get the other 2 in audio.
"Zombies meet Modern Military Intelligence"
I loved that it showed more than just Joe Ledger. The character development was great and you really got into the story with all the action.
With other military type novels - I usually get really bored because it's not something that interests me. But with this story I couldn't stop listening! There was something new around every chapter.
I have not but I am now going to look at the others because this was by far the best narrator that I have come across yet.
I wouldn't. I think that it's the perfect name.
I cannot say enough about the narrator! He was brilliant with his delivery of every single character and I hope to see him making more in the future!
"Had to listen to the second... at least now I know"
There were some parts of the book's story line that could have been great but were sorely neglected. There are so many books that have great ideas but when it comes time to deliver, they fall short.
I would recommend the first book and then just give them a summary of this one. There were so many parts of this book that fell short.
Danny - her hardcore nature is definitely portrayed well by this actor. But when she tried to do the Jamaican accent of the wheelchair character, she fell short and it ended up sounding very Irish/English.
Carry a backpack of never-ending supplies.
I can't stress enough that this book fell short. It had such potential, the characters could have been so much more, the scenes could have flowed well and the plot could have been so much more, but it felt like it was hacked apart and put together by a novice serial killer.
"Story was predictable but the narrator kept me"
Yes because the Narrator gave all the characters their own voice and personality
I actually looked for the second book in this series because it says Book 1 but I didn't see it. I would totally listen if it's by the same narrator.
Personally, in my mind - the characters all have the same voice (mine) and unless I read it out loud - that is all the story is going to get. So to actually hear it from someone else that puts more into it than just reading the page, well that is the whole reason that I love audio books.
I want to listen to all the books in one sitting but unfortunately my life doesn't allow that
I will definitely be looking for more by this narrator!
"The Narrator brings the story to life"
Depends on the friend - the story was ok, the only reason that I kept listening was the narrator put 100% of his talent into this work.
The most interesting was being able to follow the spread of the disease and how some places coped. The least interesting was the over all story itself.
my favorite scene was when they were going over the world spread of a disease and the obvious research that went into that aspect of the story.
I could but it would be a bad Sci-Fi channel movie with actors that we have never heard of and will never hear of again.
The best part of the story was the narrator - I would definitely like to hear more by him.
"Kept me listening"
Yes because the performance was great and delivery was spot on.
The narrator
he brought personality to all the characters
when 2 characters were trapped in a store together with a dead mother and toddler
I will be getting the next one!

Nintendo DS redesign coming Jan. 16th?
First the Reggie let it slip that the little dual screen handheld that could was being considered for a fabulous makeover, then Japanese gaming mainstay Famitsu reiterated the idea. Now we have a rumor from well-regarded video game importers Lik-Sang that we may be treated to the new DS model as early as January 16th! They write, "... here at Lik Sang too we have received word a couple of days ago from a Japanese contact stating Nintendo will have a formal announcement of the re-design on Jan 16th." We'll have to wait... five more days...

And thank you Marc C for putting up the link to Loretta Napoleoni.
81 first column - thank you for explaining some of the information many of us need in discussing Middle East 'problems'.
Hard News: Terror panics and the war imperative, in reply to
Thank you. All clear now.
Hard News: A message from The Fabians,
Muse: Guilt By Association Copy,
So what's the man to do with his book? Burn it? Sell it? Soak it in Chlorogene?
I'm not fascinated by KDC, though I must admit to a fascination with the desire/need to associate, or not, with him.
I'm still appalled at the memory of helicopters and the whole gogogo scene at his house. I was appalled last night with the TV3 news, then nauseated by Gower.
Huge sigh!! It's only a small amount per month, but I've finally figured out how to do it. I once used Paypal, in 2012, with a different address, no longer used. For a simple old lady like me it's been just too much for me to work out - they wanted my old security questions. Favourite teacher ?I dunno. Favourite restaurant? Tee hee.
So I've done an automatic payment from my bank, with an end date 1 year from now.
PA has been too important in my life, especially since my lovely died, for me to think of not having it.
I just logged on so I could post something after I read someone's comment about 'resilient' (I have loathed that word for the last 2 years), and now I can't think of anything to say. I'm feeling so sad, fighting unhelpful guilt because I live in Opawa, just around the corner from the river and the bridge. Guilt because, as with the quakes, my house is OK. I am OK. I had no idea about the flooding until I ventured out on Wednesday afternoon to post a parcel and was told about the canoe in the flood just down the road. And yes I know the guilt is irrational, but when I read Isobel, Hebe, and Ian and others I feel...helpless.
I'm off for a walk to the church by the bridge to see what I can do.
Up Front: Egypt: It's Complicated,
Emma, thank you for all three stories. Egypt always fascinated me, as it did everyone I think. Hearing, as a kid, stories of the place from soldiers returned from the war (WW2 !!) fed a hunger to go there. But I never did, and now I guess I never will. But I feel I've seen something of the real place.
Thank you.
Hard News: Karen, and being kind,
Thank you for sharing, Russell, and so warmly. And thank you to all who share here. I don't often post, but believe me - this place has done, and still does, much to remind me that there are Good People out there.
Beyond excellent.
Hard News: We need to talk about Len,
Well said, Susan. I don't think much of his personal behaviour either. But the last few years have cheered me up, watching my old student days' city shed the will-we-won't-we return to trolley buses/ open up the harbour front/ celebrate diversity/ disease.
I've had a niggle in the back of my mind about Sir Dove-Myer Robinson, so tonight I consulted Te Ara - http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/5r19/robinson-dove-myer Sure enough, Robbie was not entirely driven snow. But he Got Things Done.

Best companies provide care, leadership and fun
|| Print |
|Articles - March 2010
|Thursday, February 25, 2010
Page 2 of 3
Only the software giant Microsoft (No. 1, Large) earned a higher score for benefits. Among the perks Northwest Newborn offers are fully paid medical, dental, and alternative care coverage; subsidized child care; 15% of salary contributed to a retirement plan regardless of employee contributions; and a whopping 27 paid days off after one year of service.
"Our work is emotionally draining and physically challenging but the payback is huge," says Dr. Louise Baxter, who has worked for Northwest Newborn for 15 years and kept in touch with many of her patients as they have grown up to lead healthy lives. "We have just a great team, and we have the privilege of taking care of critically injured babies and helping families that are in crisis."
When you visit with tightly knit companies such as Stamp-Connection and Northwest Newborn, you often hear people say they consider co-workers "like family." At Oregon Cascade Plumbing & Heating in Salem (No. 1, Medium)many of the core employees aren't just like family. They are family.
Majority owner and president Josh Welborn was 6 years old when he first started going out on plumbing jobs with his father John, who co-founded the business in 1969. He still works with his father today, along with his brother Jeremy. Foreman Wayne Miller, a 30-plus-year veteran, works with his two sons Kevin and Todd. Accounting assistant Julie Moore works with her father Jerry, a foreman, who worked with her grandfather Bill up until his retirement.
"We're family and friends first and co-workers second," says Julie Moore. "That means everybody helps each other out, no matter what the job is. Everybody's got your back."
It starts at the top. Bearded and slim, dressed in a black Nike baseball cap and an Oregon Cascade Plumbing & Heating T-shirt, Josh Welborn exudes understated confidence in a manner that brings to mind a good poker player. He says little in an interview and shows almost no emotion until he touches on the subject of family. "We've got two, three, even four generations, and those guys are proud to work here. They're pushing their sons and grandsons to get a job here. That feeds into the stability we have here. We're a big corporate company now I guess, but we still try to keep that down-home feel as much as we can. My dad's been pretty darn successful and he still runs around in Levi's. He's not trying to prove he's better than anybody else. He's never forgotten where he came from."
Conversations with employees in the modest offices and the fabrication shop out back turn up a consistent show of support for the relaxed, casual leadership style, the frequent barbecues and celebrations, and the company policy of covering chiropractic and acupuncture treatments for nagging injuries as well as traditional health care.
It helps that Oregon Cascade is doing better than many contractors in the recession. The company recently nabbed a $15 million job doing plumbing and heating for the new football arena at the University of Oregon, which brought a bit of a hiring spree. They had plenty of good candidates from which to choose.
"We have no trouble at all finding people when we need to bring people in," says co-founder and vice president Walt Haskins. "We've got people beating our doors down even in good times. That tells you something."
It also tells you something that Oregon Cascade scored extremely high for workplace satisfaction in spite of being a non-union shop, which is unusual for contractors of this size. Welborn says running an open shop enables the company to be more flexible and efficient, winning bids by trimming costs without cutting pay or benefits.
Oregon Cascade is 25% employee-owned, with Welborn holding the other 75%. Long-time employees say they appreciate holding a stake in the company's fortunes, and find it motivating. "You produce for the company and the company gives back," says Wayne Miller, who is about to retire after 38 years of service. "It's pretty simple but not every company does that."
May Trucking's director of human resources, Scott Smith, says the company acted early to cut fuel costs by limiting idling time and investing in low-resistance tires, which helped management keep costs down without resorting to cutting pay or benefits. "A lot of our competitors cut back and this was a good thing for us," says Smith. "There are a lot of drivers available and we're interested in getting the best ones out there to work for us. That means increased safety and fewer mistakes that cost us money and customers."
If there's an industry that fared worse in 2009 than construction and trucking, it would have to be banking. Yet financial institutions such as Bay Bank (No. 4, Medium), Pacific Continental Bank (No. 18, Large), Umpqua Bank, (No. 23, Large), Chetco Federal Credit Union (No. 33 Medium), the Commerce Bank of Oregon (No. 14, Small) and Clatsop Community Bank (No. 25, Small) managed to keep workplace morale high.
