BEIJING — Police in southern China have arrested three men for dealing in bear parts and other endangered animals, some possibly smuggled from Vietnam, the official Xinhua news agency said on June 26.
Police in the Guangxi region busted the criminal gang earlier this month and seized "hundreds" of bear paws, bear meat and carcasses of other animals including pangolins and tortoises, it said.
The trafficking ring is believed to have slaughtered 43 bears for their parts, estimated to have a value of 20 million yuan ($3.2 million), Xinhua said.
In China, bear gall bladders are used in traditional medicine while bear paws are an expensive delicacy.
Xinhua said the seized animals were sourced in Guangxi's Dongxing city on the border with Vietnam and sold across southern China.
Chinese authorities have previously seized snakes and turtles smuggled from Vietnam, it said.
Police in Nanning city, where the men were arrested, declined to comment on June 26.

Another very pretty, colorful tablecloth from the 1950's! This one has an assortment of brightly colored fruits on a white background. Tablecloth measures 50" x 88" and is in wonderful condition without holes, tears, or snags. I laundered but did not pre-soak or spot-treat and I noticed a small water (?) mark that may benefit from a non-chlorine bleach wash. Very nice item!
Although these beautiful towels do not have a Wilendur tag, they match the tablecloth we just listed! I purchased them together and am confident they are Wilendur productions. There are 4 towels in this listing, each measures approximately 18" x 34" and are in wonderful condition – no holes, tears, or snags. As with the tablecloth, I laundered but did not pre-soak or spot-treat and when ironing, I noticed there are a couple light yellow spots that may benefit from a soak...
Beautiful colors on this "genuine Wilendur creation"! This is the Royal Rose pattern, tablecloth measures 54" x 68" and has the Wilendur tag. It's in wonderful condition without holes, tears, or snags. I laundered but did not pre-soak or spot-treat and when ironing, I noticed it has a couple light spots that may benefit from a non-chlorine bleach wash or soak. Lovely item as evidenced in photos.
This listing has 2 pairs of lovely clip-back earrings! One pair is confetti Lucite and the other appears to be shell (perhaps mother of pearl). They have a center section of pink color sandwiched between the two white shell layers – unusual and very pretty. They measure ¾" x ¾". The round shaped Lucite "confetti" earrings measure ¾" diameter. Both pairs are super!
Lin's Antiques and Collectibles
This Miriam Haskell necklace is simply outstanding! The round beads are glass, the round discs are faux tortoise, the clasp is marked Miriam Haskell, and the pendant back is also marked Miriam Haskell. The necklace is approximately 20" long and the pendant (including bail) adds another 4 ¼" to the overall length. Beautiful!!
I purchased this Weiss necklace 20+ years ago at a local antique shop and when I tried it on, every lady in the shop wanted to buy it if I didn't! It's that kind of necklace – the excellent workmanship and quality materials are obvious but the real beauty just jumps out when it's worn. The larger rhinestones are in alternating colors of dark purple and pink/red and they are separated by a flower shaped spacer that has blue enameling and a light blue color rhinestone "bloom"...
Lin's Antiques and Collectibles
This listing has a beautiful and classic Eisenberg Ice necklace! Clear, faceted rhinestones have lots of sparkle and each one is prong set. Necklace measures 19 1/2" end to end. Lovely item that has been in my jewelry collection for many years!
Isn't this a great necklace? Pendant measures 2 ¾" long, 1 ¼" wide (at widest), chain is 24" in length. Pendant is stamped "Museum Replica".
This listing has a very pretty pin made of wood! Pin and the two leaves that dangle from leather strips have very nice carving. Lovely worn at the throat of a high neck blouse, on a jacket or coat lapel, or pinned to a vintage hat!
Neat retro bolo with initial "S" slide! The slide is marked Swank.
Isn't this a super retro item? It's a Topps photo id engraveable bracelet and is still in the original box!
I've grouped these super neat men's accessories into one listing! There are 7 pairs of cufflinks, 2 tie tacks, and 3 tie clips. The cufflinks with the horses are marked Swank, the brushed gold color are marked 10 KRGP, and the Order of Elk ones are gold filled. The "father's" tie clip is gold filled and the one with red cabochon is marked Anson. Very nice items!
These two "memory" bracelets have been in my jewelry collection for many years! They are referred to as memory bracelets because the beads are on a thin flexible wire – you wind them onto your wrist and they return to their original shape when you "unwind" them to remove! Both bracelets are in excellent condition – I noticed the brown one is missing one of the end dangle beads – that's it!
These are very nice earrings! Both have screw backs, the round ones are marked sterling, the other pair is not marked but have the number "18". Great condition, great price!
I've grouped these 5 pairs of clip back earrings into one listing because they're all silver color – possibly some sterling but are not marked! The hearts with black heart centers are very pretty, the cutout hearts are probably pewter, the oval shape with gold tone centers are great with jeans or to the office, the larger oval earrings are light weight and have a lovely design of different shaped leaves, and the last ones are my favorites – they remind me of sea urchins (I believe they�...
These cufflinks are so neat! Each has a cat (full figure) with green rhinestone eyes – cats even have whiskers! Cufflinks are gold tone, cats are ¾" tall and ½" wide (at widest). Eye-catching!
These lovely pins are perfect gifts for a special golfer! Although they are unmarked, both pins have quality workmanship and materials. All rhinestones are sparkly and prong set. The golf bag pin measures 1 5/8" long and the golf club pin is 2" long. Very nice!
There's quite an earring assortment in this listing! There are a total of 10 pairs – 7 have clip backs, 3 have screw backs – with glass beads, shells, plastic flowers, etc. Super nice assortment at a great price!

Minister's Corner: Called to Be Missionaries
Called to Be Missionaries
Romans 10:14-15
Matthew 28:19-20
Missions and missionaries have been much on my mind lately—undoubtedly because I am taking a course entitled "The Mission of the Church," and I have been struggling with my final paper. Nevertheless, mission is on my mind—as it should be on the mind of every Christian.
In the passage surrounding today's verses from Romans, Paul is discussing the condition of the Jews of his day. For the most part they have rejected Jesus as the Messiah; but Paul says they are still God's chosen people, and God has not—nor will not—abandon them.

Pennsylvania's Senate passed a bill to let the state sell as much as $4.5 billion of bonds to repay federal loans for jobless benefits, which would be the largest such offering in the U.S.
The legislation, supported by Governor Tom Corbett, a Republican, also would make the unemployment-compensation fund solvent by 2019. The upper chamber approved it 29-19.
States collectively owed the U.S. $29.8 billion at the end of last month, led by California at $8.49 billion, Labor Department figures indicate. The debt was amassed as the longest recession since the 1930s pushed the nation's jobless rate to a 26-year high of 10 percent. Pennsylvania would sell the bonds to repay its loans before November, to prevent employer costs from rising. The commonwealth owed $3.86 billion, the data show.
"There are better rates through bonding than those being charged by the federal government through interest," Senator John R. Gordner, a Republican from Berwick, said during debate before the vote. "It is something we should take advantage of in order to reduce our overall cost to employers."
Debt sold to repay loans for jobless benefits is typically structured as revenue bonds backed by assessments on employers. Investors who favor such securities like the "clearly laid out" structure, said Chris Mauro, head of U.S. municipal strategy at RBC Capital Markets in New York.
Market Demand
"There is a lot of appetite for these transactions," Mauro said. "There's no reason to believe that these deals wouldn't get a very favorable reception."
A refinancing sale by Michigan next week will indicate the depth of demand, Mauro said. The state's finance authority plans to issue $2.7 billion in fixed-rate debt that will refund variable-rate notes it sold in December to cover jobless benefits loans.
Illinois may sell $1.7 billion of bonds to repay its federal loans in mid-July, Kelly Kraft, a spokeswoman for Governor Pat Quinn, said by e-mail.
Texas sold about $2 billion of tax-exempt bonds in 2010 to pay off its loans for unemployment compensation funds. The bonds maturing in January 2017 and rated AAA are yielding about 1.1 percent, compared with top-rated general-obligation municipal debt at 0.8 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Borrowed From U.S.
States borrowed from the federal government as their local funds ran dry during and after the 18-month recession, which began in December 2007 and ended in June 2009.
The bill to authorize Pennsylvania's sale must return to the state House of Representatives, which already passed a similar measure. The lower chamber must concur with the Senate's changes before the bill can go to Corbett for his signature.
The legislation also makes changes to boost the fund, which in 2011 paid out $3.03 billion while collecting $2.69 billion from employers and workers, according to the state Labor and Industry Department. It freezes the maximum weekly benefit of $573 through 2019.
Also, workers who made 50.5 percent of their annual income or more in one quarter wouldn't be eligible for benefits, a change from the 63 percent limit. The change affects less than 10 percent of the unemployed, the state said, while providing an annual savings of $276 million.
Pennsylvania is ranked 26th in employment growth from the last three months of 2010 to the fourth quarter of 2011 among the 50 states and the District of Columbia, according to the Bloomberg Economic Evaluation of States.

Hooghly River
Hooghly River or the Bhagirathi-Hooghly is the distributary of the Ganges River in West Bengal, India.
Hooghly River or the Bhagirathi-Hooghly is an approximately 260 kilometres long distributary of the
Ganges River
West Bengal
, India. The river divides from the Ganges as a canal in
Murshidabad district
at the
Farakka Barrage
. The town of Hugli-Chinsura was formerly known as Hooghly. This town is located on the river, in the Hooghly district. The origins of the name of Hooghly River are not known, whether the city or the river derived the name first.
History of the Hooghly River
In the upper course of the river, it is generally known as the
, until it reaches Hooghly. The literal meaning of the word Bhagirathi is `caused by Bhagiratha`, a legendary Sagar dynasty prince who was involved in bringing the river Ganga from the heavens on to the earth, in order to release his 60,000 grand-uncles from a curse of the saint
The river was a vital transportation channel in the early Bengal history and later with the colonial trading ports. The river`s flow is one of the reasons chosen by the British to inhabit there at Calcutta. The Dutch/French colony at
on the Hooghly was once the competitor of British Calcutta, but was diminished by Calcutta in the colonial wars of the 18th century. The riverbanks have experienced several battles and combats in the beginning of the colonial era, including the
Battle of Plassey
, as well as previous wars against Maratha invaders. On eastern bank lie many historic and wealthy towns like Jangipur, Murshidabad and Ziaganj. In 1974 the Farakka Barrage began diverting water into the Hooghly during the dry season so as to check the silting difficulties at
`s port. Like the rest of the Ganges, the Bhagirathi-Hooghly is known to be sacred to Hindus, and its water is believed to be holy.
Course of Hooghly River
The Farakka Barrage is a dam that transfers water from the Ganges into a canal near the town of Tildanga in Murshidabad district. The canal supplies the Hooghly with water even in the dry season.
It runs parallel to the Ganges, past
, until just above Jahangirpur where the canal ends and the river takes another course. Just south of Jahangirpur, Hoogly River leaves the Ganges area and flows south past Jiaganj Azimganj, Murshidabad, and
South of Baharampur and north of Palashi had the river as its border between
Bardhaman district
Nadia district
. The river then flows southwards along the places like Katwa,
. At Kalna it initially formed the boundary between Nadia district and Hooghly district, and then further south between Hooghly district and
North 24 Parganas district
. It flows past Halisahar, Rishra, Chunchura and Kamarhati. The river turns to the southwest and enters the twin cities of Kolkata (Calcutta) and Howrah. At Nurpur it enters an old channel of the Ganges, turns south, and empties into the Bay of Bengal. Two of its well-known tributaries are
The nexus formed by the Hooghly River (Ganga) and the
Bay of Bengal
, called Ganga Sagar. This is a holy place for Hindus. A dip in the ocean, where the river empties into the sea is thought to be of great devout significance particularly on the
Makara Sankranti
day when the sun makes an evolution to Capricorn from Sagittarius and this place becomes home to vast fairs, attracting visitors and hermits from all over the state.
Significance of Hooghly River
Bhagirathi-Hooghly river system is an essential lifeline for the people of West Bengal. It is through this river that the
East India Company
sailed in to Bengal and established their trade settlement - Calcutta, which later grew up to be one of the greatest cities of the world and capital of the one-time British India. People from other countries like French, Portuguese, Dutch and others had their trade settlement by the banks of this river.
The river provides perpetual supply of water to the plains of West Bengal for irrigation and human and industry consumption. The river is navigable and the major transport system in the region with a huge traffic flow. The Calcutta Port was the biggest port of India for quite some time.
Though in the past its importance had gone down, but recently it was developed and had again come up to the 3rd position in the list of Indian Ports. The fish from the river are essential to the local economy.
The modern container port of
, on the meeting point of lower Hooghly and Haldi River, now carries much of the region`s naval trade. Hooghly river valley was the most important industrial locality of former state of Bengal. Due to declining jute industry, the main industry of this region, it lost its glory and partitioning of Bengal. But still it is one of the biggest industrial areas of India. Except Kolkata and Howrah it has several small cities that form the Greater Kolkata Agglomeration, the second largest Indian city and former capital. Several bridges run over the Hooghly at Kolkata, namely the
Howrah Bridge
(Rabindra Setu),
Vidyasagar Setu
, Jubilee Bridge, Vivekananda Setu, Nivedita Setu (second Vivekananda Bridge) and Iswar Gupta Setu.

About Kandi Phillips
David was born and raised in Vero Beach and Kandi was raised in Sebastian. We met on the dance floor (we love to dance) and married in Hawaii, hence the inspiration for the Hawaiian room. We love to travel, kayak, bike, golf, watch football, cook, garden, renovate homes, and enjoy life! Growing up near the east coast of Florida has given us both a true appreciation of the beautiful Indian River Estuary, beach and life in the sun. We have traveled up and down the coasts of Florida creating wonderful memories with the family. You will truly enjoy your time at Tropical Breeze, we sure have!
Kandi Phillips purchased this house in 1992
Why Kandi Phillips chose Vero Beach
The property was my own family's home. I purchased the home from my parents and raised two children. My husband and I have done renovations to the home bringing it up to code (over code as my husband is an engineer) making the home a space of tranquility, our own getaway from work and stress. We took on a contract out of state so now we are sharing it with others while we can also come back 4-6 months out of the year to visit our getaway. We have family that lives in the area available for any needs.
What makes this house unique
I've personally added special touches to the home from a Feng Shui perspective, you may not even notice but you will feel the warmth and peace throughout the space. While we designed the open floor plan to bring the family together, those cooking can also participate in the conversations or games. Even though there could be lots of activity in one area of the home, you will also find spaces to unwind or take time with self.
We helped form the neighborhood watch program and know all of our neighbors. You will feel safe in our friendly neighborhood.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We had a very good communication with Kandi. We had a wonderful experience, the house was as described, in very good condition, we had a really nice experience, we did had a problem with the water and Kandi rapidly offered a solution, we had the chance to meet her and she is a very nice sweet person, she even offered his family toys for our kids. We had marvelous BBQ at the patio while the kids were enjoying the swimming pool. Our room was so nicely decorated that we took few pictures to copy at home! You see Kandi's family on each portion of the house, every detail speaks for them, a warm, family house, quite different from those houses built for rental with no soul, this has a strong personality, a beautiful one. Thank you Kandi for allowing my family share your house, we had a great experience.

Sitar virtuoso Pandit Ravi Shankar's greatest achievement was to place Indian classical music on the world stage. He did this by collaborating with a number of international musicians, most famously with The Beatles' lead guitarist George Harrison.
George Harrison developed a fascination with Indian classical music and the sitar in particular before he met Pt Shankar, using the instrument in the 1965 Beatles' song Norwegian Wood.
It was amidst the counter-culture movement of the 1960s that Mr Harrison was introduced to the works of Ravi Shankar. The guitarist sought out Mr Shankar with a view to formally learning how to play the sitar. What began as a 'guru-shishya' relationship, ended up into a close and one of the most cherished friendships on the International music scene.
The pair met in London and began lessons in Mr Harrison's home. They spent weeks in England before moving to a houseboat in Kashmir and later to California.
George Harrison's Indian influences can be heard on songs like Across The Universe and Within You, Without You which was featured on The Beatles' Grammy-winning album Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Mr Harrison labeled Pandit Ravi Shankar 'the godfather of world music' and the songs drew increasing international attention towards Pandit Ravi Shankar's work.
The sitar maestro's music became a rage and he collaborated with some of the most famous musicians of the time. Mr Shankar played a four hour set at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 and later at the opening day of Woodstock festival in 1969 and the concert for Bangladesh in 1971.
Pandit Ravi Shankar's close association with George Harrison remained intact even after Mr Harrison's death in 2001. "I feel I have been cheated by George. Why did he have to go so soon at such a young age when I really wanted to go first?," Mr Shankar wrote in 2002 after George Harrison's death. He maintained close ties with his wife Olivia and son Dhani.
Pandit Ravi Shankar and his sitarist daughter Anoushka also performed together at the Concert For George which was held to mark George Harrison's first death anniversary in 2002.

The New York Jets, New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles have expressed interest given the downgraded demands from a first- and third-round pick, the sources said. Should the Pats look into this?

NOV120101 (Poziotinib)12 mg PO once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity development
Other Names:
Detailed Description:
EGFR TKIs are known as more effective and less toxic medications against EGRF mutated tumors. However, newly acquired resistance to these inhibitors is the inevitable obstacle in continuous treatment with them. To overcome this problem, many new class of TKIs including NOV120101 (Poziotinib) are developing these days. To evaluate the efficacy of NOV120101 (Poziotinib) as a first-line monotherapeutic medication, chemotherapy-naïve patients will participate in this study. Subjects will receive NOV120101 (Poziotinib) 12 mg PO once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity development. Objective response rate (ORR) will be analyzed as the primary endpoint in this trial. Secondary endpoints including PFS rate at 12 months, DCR, PFS, and OS will also be analyzed.

Tangy Tart Hot & Sweet. Thats the name of model turned Top Chef dictatress Padma Lakshmis new cookbook, and thats just how she behaved before swooning fans last night at her Strand book signing. After donning serious glasses to read food-related mini-memoirs from the book, she told the crowd that saying Please pack your knives and go to Top Chefs weekly loser was the hardest part of my job and divulged that men often ask her to say it to them in a dominatrix-y sort of way. (It creeps me out! she insisted.) She said the show had knocked down any remaining foodie limits she might have had: Ill put anything in my mouth once. Oh, Padma!
Thankfully, Lakshmi kept her innuendo PG-13 as she told us her top cheap eats in New York City:
1. Two Boots. Her favorite slice? A simple cheese pizza. (Not the spicy Bird!?!?)
2. Vezzo, another thin-crust pizza joint, on Lex and 31st.
3. Saravana, where you have dosas, in Curry Hill (get it, rhymes with Murray Hill?) on Lex. Its an area I eat in a lot because I shop at
4. Kalustyans, a venerable IndianMiddle Eastern spice and specialty shop where Lakshmi is often spotted. You can pretty much get everything you need for my book there.
5. Kuma Inn, Filipino tapas. They have this awesome Chinese sausage that Im addicted to.
6. Vegetarian Dim Sum House in Chinatown. Lakshmi even pulled up the address and phone number for us on her cute, slim BlackBerry just before she pointed out that our fly was unzipped. Id want my friend to tell me, she said. Us and Padma friends? And over an unzipped fly? Wow! Tim Murphy

Kris Jenner Show
Kris Jenner's talk show, Kris, premiered Monday morning, and the question on everyone's minds was whether Jenner's granddaughter, North West, would make her debut.
Cameron Mathison, Kris Jenner
Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Kris Jenner intends to make a big splash with her new daytime talk show Kris, debuting Monday, July 15, on several Fox-owned stations around the country — but she won't be going it along. Jenner has selected Good Morning America correspondent and former All My Children star Cameron Mathison as her very first cohost.
Kris Jenner
Ready. Set. Dish! Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Kris Jenner will test-market her own talk show, Kris, starting July 15 on several Fox-owned stations, including those in Los Angeles, Dallas, Phoenix, Minneapolis and New York. The chatfest has just six weeks to prove itself and, if it's a hit, it'll return nationwide, most likely in 2014. TV Guide Magazine spoke with the ever-controversial momager to find out if she's staying cool or feeling the heat.
Kim Kardashian, Kanye West
Apparently, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West aren't just huge fans of wordplay.
Kris Jenner shared the deeper meaning behind her granddaughter's name North West during a Tuesday appearance on The View.

Kris Jenner knows how to make an entrance — and an entrance hall. The controversial reality star and momager will debut her daytime talk show Kris for a six-week test run on Fox-owned stations starting July 15 — and her set is sure to look mighty familiar to any fan of E!'s Keeping Up With the Kardashians. It's a near duplicate of the Art Deco foyer in Jenner's Calabasas, Cal., mansion, complete with a double grand staircase, checkered floor and lavish chandeliers.
July will be a big month for the Kardashian family.
Kris Jenner's talk show Kris is set to debut on select local Fox affiliates on Monday, July 15, the network announced Thursday. July is also the month Jenner's daughter Kim Kardashian is due to give birth to her and Kanye West's baby.

Well first of all tell me, is there some society you know that doesn't run on greed? … What is greed? Of course none of us are greedy. It's only the other fella that's greedy. – Milton Friedman Continue reading
Lacking ambition and lying like a Democrat
Last week, Republican Senator Ron Johnson proposed a bill stating that nothing in Obamacare shall be construed as mandating the cancellation of existing health care plans. When Ted Cruz stated his goal of defunding Obamacare via the budgeting process, Senator Johnson called him "intellectually dishonest". But we'll return to that later. Continue reading
How to tell who's faking it
Ted Cruz took to the Senate floor this week and spoke out passionately against Obamacare for twenty-one hours straight. Because the speech did not technically qualify as a filibuster due to arcane Senate rules, initial reports tabbed Cruz's Herculean effort as "fake".
Republican Congressmen Pete King went so far as to label Cruz a "false leader".
On his way to the 11pm-1am shift of Cruz's epic floor speech, Connecticut's Democratic Senator Chris Murphy angrily grumbled on Twitter that Cruz was conducting a "fairy tale non-filibuster."
In other Twitter news, the next day it was revealed that the artist-formerly-known-as-the-leader-of-the-free-world, President Barack Obama, had 19 million Twitter followers… that are fake.
Likewise, when a Democratic Congress was ramming through Obamacare against the public's will, the President claimed that you could keep your plan and doctor if you like them, and yearly costs for individuals would go down $2500. Those claims turned out to be… fairy tales.
When the morning shows kicked off a few hours later Continue reading
Gee whiz, lighten up people!
"Americans have to learn how to take a joke." – Herman Cain, 2012 Republican primary debate
Showing the talent for deflection common among philanderers*, Herman Cain also hit on a truth. In addition to a sense of humor, he could have added a sense of perspective. Distinctions need to be made in life, otherwise confusion reigns, and a country that self-loathes about the enhanced interrogation of proven terrorists yawns when 5 year olds who say "bang" at school are grilled until they pee their pants. Likewise, when our culture of offense leads us to impose a zero tolerance policy on offensive speech, our social vitality takes a hit.
The most recent example comes in the form of Ohio State president Dr. Gordon Gee, whose experience of having his comments recorded at a private OSU Athletics Council reception shows Obama's surveillance state knows no bounds. Speaking extemporaneously to colleagues, Gee added Catholics and the SEC to a previous long list of "offensive" mild dig targets that includes the Polish army and the Little Sisters of the Poor. Certain groups, who face real persecution and suffer from fresh wounds, deserve extra sensitivity from polite society. But if we can't tell the difference between those situations and insulting the Little Sisters of the Poor's nonexistent football team, or the SEC's nonexistent educational standards for athletes, then our social confusion might be terminal.
When we act scandalized by simple jests, we affirm the professionally aggrieved, and encourage the more thuggish in their ranks. Continue reading

Photo by Matt Fields-Johnson Nov 19, 2010--Elton John walks on stage at McKenzie Arena Friday Night as part of his greatest hits live concert.
British pop superstar Elton John and recording partner and fellow pianist Leon Russell took the stage to a sold-out and enthusiastic crowd at McKenzie Arena on Friday night.
The performance was John's first in Chattanooga since 1999 and one of only four remaining stateside dates he and Russell will play together in support of their collaborative album, "The Union," which was released Nov. 2.
John, who is well known for his flamboyant fashion sense, took the stage in a black duster coat decorated with a colorful, stylized depiction of Russell's face under the words "Music Magic" to introduce Russell, whom he referred to as his musical "idol."
Russell then took the stage looking every inch the rock 'n' roll cowboy in a white hat, brown jacket and dark sunglasses.
He kicked off a seven-song opening set with "Tight Rope," his highest charting single when it released in 1972. Other standouts included "Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms" and the closer, "Stranger in a Strange Land," both of which were received enthusiastically by the completely packed arena.
During the first of his two solo sets, John started what would turn into an evening overflowing with greatest hits songs with "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)," which fans throughout the arena reacted to with wild enthusiasm, cameras and souvenir headbands flashing throughout the arena.
Other noteworthy hits included "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" and an epic, highly lengthened version of "Rocket Man."
Russell and John then took the stage together to perform about a dozen songs off "The Union," beginning with, "If It Wasn't for Bad," on duel black pianos. John's signature red box was noticeably absent.
John returned to the stage for a final, 10-song solo set comprised entirely of his best-known works, including "Levon," "Tiny Dancer," and "Candle in the Wind." He closed the evening with "Your Song."

Another stellar "book report" journalism from the Times Free Press. What I wouldn't do to have a paper that actually does creative, informative journalism....not just something that an eleven year old school paper writer could produce!
Indeed.... this was a play by play of what happened. They should have let the color man chime in. Perhaps, the story length is limited by space provided in the print copy... it happens.
It was a good show. It was interesting, too. Educational, could be applied.
It wasn't as raucus as it would have been had Elton played by himself because of the mid-concert duet interlude.
Watching Leon Russell reminded me of the movie Ghost, except instead of Whoopi Goldberg inhabited by Patrick Swayze, it was like Willie Nelson jumped into Santa Clause.
Clearly the Russell is on the last legs of his career and Elton John is doing what he can to support him and promote him. Russell appeared to read all his lyrics from the laptop that was on top of his piano and he didn't interact with the crowd except to rarely wave. Vocally, he was difficult to understand, but the music was lively, crisp and young. For all the flattening of the years on the man's ability to move and emote, he's still an enormous musical talent.
The songs from their record, Union, were quite good and worth buying, for me... it's just that they were not quite up to the level of 50 years of Elton John's greatest hits, which filled the rest of the show.
Finally, Elton fully displayed alacrity on piano that makes him such an enormous talent. His rifts, including on Chattanooga Choo-Choo, clearly stunned the crowd. In two hours he was able to get in a lot of hits, but notably absent were Crocadile Rock, Someone Saved My Life Tonight and Empty Garden. Mercifully absent were his Disney tunes.
In every show, choices have to be made. Ultimately what this show seemed much about was the choice Elton John had made regarding taking one of his mucical idols and bringing him new musical life. It was nice to be part of that gift.
I loved how Elton John pointed to every person in the audience and thanked them... after every song and thanked US for coming to his show. I was really touched, I felt he should have been thanked for recognizing our small city and ignoring the big one down the road (where he used to live). I would spend the $900 again and again to have this experience with my best girlfriends. I know what a true entertainer is now. Did anyone else notice the 63 year old man leaping off the piano? The dude was seriously spry.

Many great companies never get started for the lack of a Technical Co-Founder. A few years ago, such a person was a necessity, but we think those days have past. The problem is that the person you need at the beginning isn't the person you need later, and one way or another you're accruing a ton of technical (or real) debt along the way. We believe there's a better way. From the beginning, your application needs great architecture on the right platform, but it also needs to be built as quickly and inexpensively as possible. Because our CTO is also your CTO, you get experienced, skilled design of your product. But unlike a technical co-founder, you don't give away your equity and you pay only for what you really need.
The fist year of a startup can be one of the most exciting (and stressful) times in the life of an entrepreneur. Every dollar counts. There will come a time when you have enough revenue (or VC money) for a trendy Pearl Street office, a game room, and a kegerator. Until then, your money should be going into your product. We run our shop the same way. We have a highly skilled, distributed team in co-working spaces, coffee shops, and home offices. We keep our overhead as low as possible, so that every dollar you spend goes directly into your product. We deliver high-quality, test-driven code that is designed from the beginning with the intent of handing it off to your own developers when you grow.
We started our company building software for the public safety marketplace, and bring that level of commitment to every project. Your customer may not be calling an ambulance, but if they can't reach your application, they won't be a customer. We'll design your infrastructure so that you can start inexpensively, but be ready to scale to millions of transactions per second and 99.999% reliability.

HILLSVILLE — Office shuffling in the Carroll County Governmental Center should result in better customer service, officials hope.
Now, before a contractor can obtain all of the needed documents for a construction permit, they must visit the building official, the PSA, the erosion and sediment control inspector and the health department — in offices at different locations of the governmental center.
Now, all these offices will be located in the same area, formerly the VA Cooperative Extension Offices.
INDEPENDENCE — In an effort to close the gap on a $1.2 million cut to the Grayson County Schools' budget, the division will consider implementing an early retirement plan.
Superintendent Dr. Elizabeth Thomas brought a proposal to the school board Feb. 9 that she said could save between $100,000 and $200,000 for the 2009-10 school year.
"This program would benefit both the school system, and its employees," Thomas said.
Eligibility for the plan includes:
Being out of position on a basketball court can lead to a lot of bad things, like missed rebounds, defensive breakdowns, offensive confusion, etc. Being out of position, or in this case, being in a different position, turned out pretty well for Cameron Frazier.
Moving to shooting guard in his senior season after years as Galax's point guard, Frazier apparently felt right at home in his new position, having a strong enough season to earn the Mountain Empire District's player of the year award.
If change is good, drastic change must be awesome.
Or so it seems in the eyes of the Virginia High School League.
It's not exactly High School Sports meets Social Reform, but at the very least a tee-ball mentality has invaded the learned folks running high school sports in Virginia.
DUBLIN -- Twin Valley may not play much man-to-man defense, but the Panthers showed they have definitely practiced it.
Employing a seldom-used man defense from start to finish, Twin Valley kept Galax's long-range shooters out of sync nearly all night, running away with a 77-61 win in the Group A Division 1 quarterfinals Friday at Pulaski County High School.
The Blue Ridge Panthers placed third in the western division at the North Carolina Home Educators Athletic Conference Basketball Championships, held in Winston-Salem Feb. 20-21. The win moved the Panthers to the state basketball championships, held Feb. 27-28 in Greensboro.
This year's regional and state tournaments showcased more than 50 teams comprised of more than 500 homeschool basketball players.
Two individuals accused of assaulting and pepper-spraying five people at the Republican campaign headquarters in Galax shortly before the 2008 presidential election were convicted of lesser charges of disorderly conduct in Galax General District Court on Monday.
Daniel Cason Meinecke, 29, of Galax — charged with one count of misdemeanor assault of Galax Republican Party Chairman Michael Stevens — was convicted of the reduced charge of disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor. Meinecke will serve 100 hours of community service and 60 days of jail, suspended.

Land Transfers
These land transfers were recorded in October and November in the office of Carolyn H. Honeycutt, clerk of the Carroll County Circuit Court, Hillsville:
Rhudy R. Lineberry and Barbara S. Lineberry to Lawrence E. King and Phyllis G. King. 8.486 acres in the Sulphur Springs District. $25,033.70.
It was the kind of announcement that hasn't been heard in Galax — nor in the furniture industry nationwide — in a long time.
On Friday, Vaughan-Bassett Furniture announced that it will invest $2.15 million to expand its manufacturing facility in Galax, creating 100 new jobs over the next three years, saving 500 existing positions and upgrading and purchasing equipment.
Put an end to partisan politics
It appears that Ted Reavis from Carroll County has unleashed yet another baseless partisan attack against Rep. Rick Boucher.
Reavis simply does not get the public mood that it's time to put partisan politics aside and work in a bipartisan fashion with Democrats and Republicans cooperating together in order to solve our nation's serious economic problems.
This time, Reavis has attacked Boucher for something that the congressman has absolutely no control over.

Tarte Cosmetics have been killing it lately with their Brazilliance range, Amazonian butter lipsticks, the sculptor contouring face slenderizer, loved by so many makeup addicts, and many other products.
But what are they offering for Fall?
There is a beautifully put together Rainforest After Dark collection. Let's take a closer look at the products.
The star of the collection is definitely the limited edition rainforest after dark colored clay eye & cheek palette ($38)
It is a palette which combines both makeup and skincare. All shade contain different clays, such as rose clay (soothes skin around the eye area), vanilla clay (helps control oil to keep pigment in place all day) and gold clay (maintains gentle skin balance and moisture).
The shades, they are: bare to explore (pink beige), make a mauve (plum mauve), plum away with me (dark plum), up to no gold (gold), tan-gled up in you (tan), don't turn a-brown (dark brown), unleashed (nude rose blush), champagne (highlighter) and park ave princess (bronzer).
As for the rest of the collection, tarte are brining out some basic products which will help to create a perfect canvas for the colourful makeup and will help it to last longer.
For example, timeless smoothing primer ($39), which is described as a "melt-in smoothing primer with innovative blurring and filling technology for a youthful appearance perfectly primed for makeup application."
The formula is infused with Vitamins C & E and green bean extract which help the skin to look smoother and firmer. Tarte suggest that their primer can be also worn on it's own, without the foundation on top.
If you need to cover up any imperfections -maracuja creaseless concealer ($24; available in 13 shades) is a product to look at!
It is a full coverage, waterproof concealer whichRead More
Rejoice the lovers of pen-form eye liners! I am personally a huge fan, and use this one a lot! Three brands are brining out their versions.
Givenchy released a Liner Couture Black which you can get from Harrods for £23.50. The tip looks very thin, so I assume that it should work even for a precise between-the-lash application.
Even though this post is all about the liners, I thought I'd mention the new mascara from the brand, as well – Givenchy Noir Couture Volume Black Taffetas, which you can get from Harrods for £23.50 or Sephora for $32 which is a volumizing mascara. I could get it only for the packaging. Seriously, the brand just kills it with their new design! The best. Period.
I also couldn't be happier that my favourite Mariacarla is the face of the launch!

Here is what makeup I had with me. All products from my current top 5 luxury makeup favourites post, a lot of Rouge Bunny Rouge products, as I plan to write a feature for the brand soon, three blushes (I ended up using only tarte) and three lip shades, inducing my Tom Ford lipstick.
