Israel Supporters Caused the War in Gaza
Many of the Israel supporters are the cause of the current war in Gaza. You caused this war out of love and empathy. You caused this war because you could imagine the pain of your son, your brother

Here's an update to that story about the girls kidnapped from their chemistry class in Nigeria. Good news is there might be more people helping the Nigerian government get them back soon, and hopefully bring the people responsible for kidnapping them to justice. Dan Williams at Reuters via Yahoo News reports:
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel offered Nigeria help on Sunday in locating 200 schoolgirls abducted last month by Islamist rebel group Boko Haram in an attack that has drawn global condemnation and prompted some Western powers to provide assistance.
"Israel expresses deep shock at the crime against the girls," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office quoted him as telling Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan by phone. "We are ready to help in finding the girls and fighting the cruel terrorism inflicted on you."
President Barack Obama arrived in Israel on Wednesday without any new peace initiative to offer disillusioned Palestinians and facing deep Israeli doubts over his pledge to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran.
Making his first official visit here as president, Obama hopes to use the trip to reset his often fraught relations with both the Israelis and Palestinians in a choreographed three-day stay that is high on symbolism but low on expectations.
He was met at Tel Aviv airport by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli President Shimon Peres after Air Force One stopped next to a huge red carpet laid out down the tarmac.
Obama will hold lengthy talks with Netanyahu later in the day, with the two set to hold a news conference at 8:10 p.m. (6:10 p.m. ET). He will travel to the occupied West Bank on Thursday to meet Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
U.S. officials say Obama will try to coax the Palestinians and Israelis back to peace talks. He will also seek to reassure Netanyahu he is committed to preventing Iran from getting a nuclear bomb and discuss ways of containing Syria's civil war.
A highlight of President Barack Obama's visit to Israel next week will be a major speech in Jerusalem — with an audience full of students — where he will speak directly to Israelis for the first time.
That's just one stop of Obama's first foreign trip of his second term, designed to show — through substance and symbolism — the ironclad U.S. commitment to Israel, as the nation faces a potential nuclear threat from Iran and conflicts in Egypt and Syria threaten Israeli security.
The speech will give Obama an opportunity to bypass often critical Israeli media and hostile political figures during his first trip to Israel as president.
The U.S. Embassy in Israel is running an essay contest on Facebook, with up to 20 winners "who submit the most original and creative responses" to be invited to the speech, the embassy website said.
I wrote earlier this month how the visit — coming after Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's re-election victories — give the leaders a chance to reset their strained relationship. Netanyahu was seen as a Mitt Romney supporter while Obama had to continuously prove his pro-Israel credentials during his campaign.
Obama's swing includes Israel, the West Bank and Jordan. Obama has met with U.S. Arab-American and Jewish leaders in separate sessions in recent weeks to discuss his trip.
More: Obama to Give Major Speech in Jerusalem - Chicago Sun-Times
Former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert says the government of Benjamin Netanyahu spent almost $3 billion in the past two years preparing for a war against Iran's nuclear program that it probably never intended to wage.
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Olmert said the sum was above and beyond the billions allocated to the defense budget and helped raise Israel's fiscal deficit to heights it hadn't reached in years. As a result, he said, Netanyahu would be forced to make broad spending cuts, if reelected next week, upsetting potential coalition partners that are accustomed to having their sectarian causes generously financed.
"The security establishment…on the instructions of the government spent an additional 11 billion shekels ($2.95 billion) beyond the regular budget of the Defense department to make preparations regarding a possible Israeli operation against Iran," said Olmert, who is Netanyahu's political rival.
He said the extra spending was designed to make the United States believe that Israel genuinely intended to attack Iran's nuclear program. Netanyahu hoped the perception would prod President Obama, who opposes an Israeli strike, to organize tighter sanctions against Iran and take action of his own to prevent it from crossing the nuclear threshold.
"The general opinion of those that were involved [in the preparations] was that this was much more about rhetoric and less about a real determination to activate it," Olmert told The Daily Beast.

Israeli Settlement Proposals Prompt Rash Rhetoric
FACING AN election in which his most dangerous competition is from the far right, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has adopted a familiar tactic: a flurry of announcements of new construction in Jewish settlements in Jerusalem and the West Bank. The predictable result has been a storm of denunciations by the United States and every other member of the U.N. Security Council, along with dire predictions that the new building would "make a negotiated two-state solution . . . very difficult to achieve," as British Foreign Secretary William Hague put it.
The criticism is appropriate, in the sense that such unilateral action by Israel, like the unilateral Palestinian initiative to seek statehood recognition in November from the U.N. General Assembly, serves to complicate the negotiations that are the only realistic route to a Middle East peace. But the reaction is also counterproductive because it reinforces two mistaken but widely held notions: that the settlements are the principal obstacle to a deal and that further construction will make a Palestinian state impossible.
Twenty-five years ago, Israel's government openly aimed at building West Bank settlements that would block a Palestinian state. But that policy changed following the 1993 Oslo accords. Mr. Netanyahu's government, like several before it, has limited building almost entirely to areas that both sides expect Israel to annex through territorial swaps in an eventual settlement. For example, the Jerusalem neighborhoods where new construction was announced last month were conceded to Israel by Palestinian negotiators in 2008.
Benjamin Netanyahu's New Headache
Benjamin Netanyahu sounded a confident note at the official launch of his re-election campaign last week, but to anybody who's been watching Israeli political developments, it's clear that with three weeks until Election Day, the prime minister suddenly has reasons to be fearful. Not for his job, of course—Netanyahu's hold on the premiership remains unchallenged—but of the headaches he is suddenly likely to face as he assembles his next governing coalition.
Netanyahu's re-election was supposed to be a pain-free affair. In late October, Netanyahu shocked the political world when he and hardline Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman announced that their parties, Likud and Yisrael Beiteinu ("Israel Our Home"), would be running on a joint list in the elections. By adding Lieberman's party, Netanyahu hoped to create a large unified rightist bloc that would minimize the concessions small parties usually extort from election victors looking to build a coalition. (Currently, Likud controls only 27 of the 66 Knesset members in the government.)
Initially, the gambit appeared to be paying off. Even after the Likud's Tea Party-esque primary results last month, "Likud Beiteinu" looked set to duplicate or surpass the 38 seats former Likud prime minister Ariel Sharon won in 2003, at the height of the Second Intifada. But in recent weeks, the alliance has steadily hemorrhaged support, and it's not clear that the bleeding has stopped. Three polls published last week had the list at 34 seats, and another had it down to 33—still nearly double that of the nearest competitor (the center-left Labor Party), but nowhere near the 42 seats the parties currently hold or the 45 forecast by the merger's mastermind, American political consultant Arthur Finkelstein. (It wouldn't be Finkelstein's first failed prophecy. Netanyahu was reportedly shocked by the U.S. election results after Finkelstein predicted a four-point Romney victory).
Why the sudden drop in support? Two primary factors seem to be at work.
Israel Relies on Evangelicals at Its Moral and Political Peril - Jeffrey Goldberg - the Atlantic
It is a source of great frustration, even pain, among liberal American Jews that Israel finds such stalwart support among American evangelical Protestants, with whom they share very little. It is, of course, a source of great comfort to Israeli politicians such as Benjamin Netanyahu and to his even more right-wing colleagues, that evangelical support for Israel is so strong. Evangelical support always struck me as a narrow reed on which to rest Israel's fortunes in America, and not only because many evangelicals, in my experience, have no love for Jews as autonomous people, but merely as vehicles for the Christian redemption. I also thought it was odd to build a strategy around evangelicals because evangelicals don't represent a majority of Americans.
Now, according to an important op-ed in The Times by a young evangelical pastor, it seems as if evangelicals represent fewer Americans than ever. I hope those Israelis who believe they can ignore the wishes of their liberal brethren (and their increasingly-former allies among non-Jewish liberals in the U.S.) read the whole thing. Here's an excerpt:
In 2012 we witnessed a collapse in American evangelicalism. The old religious right largely failed to affect the Republican primaries, much less the presidential election. Last month, Americans voted in favor of same-sex marriage in four states, while Florida voters rejected an amendment to restrict abortion.
Much has been said about conservative Christians and their need to retool politically. But that is a smaller story, riding on the back of a larger reality: Evangelicalism as we knew it in the 20th century is disintegrating.
After Four Years of Feuding, Have Obama and Bibi Finally Made Up? - Tablet Magazine
On Friday, Bibi Netanyahu's government announced it was planning additional settlement construction in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. European capitals have demanded an explanation from Israeli diplomats, and the U.K. and France have contemplated summoning home their own envoys in protest. But the White House's criticism has been fairly muted. "We oppose all unilateral actions," White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Monday, "as they complicate efforts to resume direct, bilateral negotiations."
To be sure, the White House is somewhat constrained in criticizing Israel for "unilateral actions" after Mahmoud Abbas went to the United Nations' General Assembly to declare Palestine an independent state. And with delicate negotiations over the fiscal cliff foremost on the president's agenda, the administration seems loath to give Republicans an opportunity to attack President Obama over Israel.
Still, the reticence is striking. Compare the White House's language this week to its response in March 2010 when Israel announced that 1,600 new East Jerusalem housing units were approved during Vice President Joe Biden's visit. The administration went ballistic. At the president's instructions, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton chewed out Netanyahu on a 45-minute phone call, which was conveniently leaked to the press. The administration "condemned" the "insulting" action, using language rarely used by one ally to describe the actions of another.
Some predicted that a second-term Obama would exact a certain amount of revenge against a world leader who openly challenged and even lectured him in the White House—but it appears the opposite has happened. The administration was strongly supportive of Israel during Operation Pillar of Defense, and the fact that it happened after the presidential elections was proof of Bibi's good sense of timing and that Obama recognizes Israel as a strategic asset, not merely as an electoral chip. If the past few weeks are any guide, and with Netanyahu almost certain to win again in January, it looks like the dark ages of Obama-Netanyahu warfare may have ended.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up

Category: Music Venues
Region: Heights
Flashbulb Fires is an unusual booking for Dan Electro's, the venerable north Heights haunt known for its hard-rocking guitar-slingers and headbanging bands. In walks in Flashbulb Fires, a Colorado trio whose roots lie more in the lush psychedelic pop of mid-'90s Elephant 6 collective, with a hint of the blissful but melancholy soundscapes of 4AD artists such as the Cocteau Twins. Younger ears have also heard Grizzly Bear, which makes sense. The Fires' most recent release, 2009's Gasconader, is a concept album of sorts about a self-righteous evangelizer urging his lover to repent before the Rapture arrives, and by extension an indictment of big-boxed-in suburban American culture. (On a Monday night, too.) Mostly it's just beautiful, and will sound even more so under the iridescent starscape of Dan Electro's interior. So maybe this isn't such an unusual booking after all.

Detroit toddler found safe, Amber Alert canceled
Updated On: May 20 2013 07:23:41 PM EDT
An Amber Alert has been canceled for a 3-year-old Detroit girl.
The alert had been issued Sunday night for Alonna Anderson -- who police said had been taken earlier in the day from a home in the area of Northfield Avenue and I-96 by someone while her mother was being assaulted by Anderson's father.
The girl's father, 29-year-old Stacey Anderson, allegedly dropped her off at about 7 a.m. Monday to a relative in the area of Grand River and Lahser, but then took off.
Police said they are still looking for him and another person.
Stacey Anderson's mother, who didn't want to be shown on camera, said the girl was never in any danger.
"My son would not hurt her. My son loves that little girl," the mother said.
Anderson is described at 5 feet 9 inches tall, 165 pounds with brown eyes and black hair. He has a tattoo of a pit bull on his left arm.
He was last seen wearing a gray T-shirt with a white T-shirt underneath and stone washed gray jean shorts with gray Timberland boots.

James Rigney talks about negotiating the deal which includes a $255 million loan to Air Berlin from Etihad's own balance sheet.
Air Berlin
James Rigney
While Etihad's purchase of a 29.21% stake in Air Berlin is
small in dollar terms (about $95 million), it is a game changer
for Etihad.
The Abu Dhabi carrier has improved access to Europe through its
purchase of a stake in the German carrier, and will increase
pressure on European legacy carriers like Lufthansa, KLM, and
IAG Group.
The deal involves a smaller airline buying up almost one third
of larger carrier. Air Berlin had revenue last year of about $5
billion compared to Etihad's $4 billion during the same
In addition to injecting equity into Air Berlin, Etihad will
also lend the airline $255 million over five years.

DNC: Where's the Outrage? Why is the White House Protecting Republicans Instead of Children?Written by BuzzFlash
DNC: Where's The Outrage?
Washington, DC – In the wake of a scandal involving Republican Congressman Tom Foley's inappropriate and criminal communications with underage Congressional pages, it is clear that the leaders of both the GOP House re-election committee and the Speaker of the House knew that Foley had engaged in behavior that was, at best, highly questionable. According to ABC News, a Republican staffer warned pages about Foley five years ago. Statements from House Republican leaders indicate that they knew of Foley's behavior but did not act to stop Congressman Foley at the time that they first learned about the inappropriate emails.
BuzzFlash Mailbag for October 2, 2006
Subject: Molly Ivins Column
Molly's column of Sept. 28 was about torture. She was commenting on why the press is not talking about this more. The other night Andersen Cooper had an interview with the Canadian who was picked up and tortured. Before the interview he was saying that though they have and are discussing this issue many don't because of ratings. Apparently people tend to turn the channel when the topic comes to torture.
It seems people would rather not hear about to salve a guilty conscience than to face the subject head on. This leaves the hatemongering spin misters like Limbaugh to make fun of and light of this and how it's needed to fight the war on terror.
This info gets to the least informed and more reactionary elements in the country who listen to garbage like this. And since they watch Fox and have their prejudices re-enforced and won't get told the other side of the issue due to the MSM not reporting it due to ratings, we are not getting the balance of information. People just are either turning it off and only one side is heard.
Because of the seriousness of the issue this is what is the most tragic in the whole debate. Ignorance.

Col. Ronald B. Weinert (Ret.): Dear Sen. McCain, You Have Sullied Your and the Country's Reputation
by Ronald B. Weinert, Col, USAFR (Retired)
Dear Senator McCain:
You have sullied the reputation of the country as well as your own by your participation in the charade you and your cohort senators (Graham and Warner) call a "compromise" on S3931. There was precious little compromise, it appears. The man in the White House now has the "legal" capability to name anyone he so desires as a terrorist threat, and to subject that individual to whatever "aggressive interrogation" he deems fit. You admitted in a statement on a Sunday news show that you did not know what "techniques" might be employed. That is truly amazing. You don't know? Do you even care?
Barbara's Daily BuzzFlash Minute for October 2, 2006
"It's vile. It's more sad than anything else, to see someone with such potential throw it all down the drain because of a sexual addiction." That was Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL), commenting on President Clinton after the Starr Report was released in 1998. Be careful of the things you say, for sooner or later they could come back to bite you in the ass! "Six-term Republican Rep. Mark Foley of Florida resigned from the U.S. Congress on Friday following reports he sent sexually inappropriate e-mails to underage male congressional interns." Resignations from those Representatives who enabled Foley's behavior by covering it up should be the next order of business in The United States Congressional House, unless of course the Repuglicans are enjoying the reputation of being PIMPS!

1//Inter Press Service News Agency, Italy--TALIBAN BACK IN BUSINESS IN BORDER AREAS (President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's controversial peace deal with Pakistan-based Taliban has already resulted in a new assertiveness by the 'Islamic Scholars' in the Waziristan agency which borders Afghanistan. On Thursday, an Afghan national identified as Malang Khan was shot dead by Taliban vigilantes for allegedly spying for the United States army. "Malang had been spying on the Taliban in the North and South Waziristan agencies for Americans. A satellite phone set has also been recovered from him," said a note pinned to his body. Khan's bullet-riddled body was discovered in Khadi village on the road that leads to Mirali town from Miramshah, capital of North Waziristan agency. The note warned that all spies would meet the same fate. ... . The Taliban are now showing every intention of taking over administrative control of the Pashtun-dominated semi-autonomous North and South Waziristan. One pamphlet distributed on Wednesday said: "There is complete lawlessness in the area and crimes have increased. So after the peace accord, Taliban has set up an office to serve residents of the area and restore peace." The office, complete with telephone facilities, has been set up within the premises of the main bus stand in Miramshah. And the local Taliban Shura [council] has constituted a committee to jointly run the office. That the Taliban have the blessing of the Pakistan government has become clear with military authorities returning automatic rifles and other material seized from a madrassa [seminary] run by the Afghan Jehadi commander Maulvi Jalaluddin Haqani here on Wednesday morning.)

A fresh evergreen smell perfumes Wausau's west side as land is being cleared of trees and those trees turning into mulch to make way for a new big-box retailer.
"It's a good thing because what's being proposed, at least what we've seen in economic development in a closed session because it is confidential and it's still be worked out, is that it could be a regional draw," said Alderman David Oberbeck who is also on the Plan Commission.
The retailer is going to be in his District 9 at 2800 Stewart Avenue, right on the corner of Stewart and 28th Avenue. Chris Ghidorzi, representing the developer of the Ghidorzi construction company, came to the city's Plan Commission meeting Tuesday and asked that a retail establishment more than 7,000 square feet be approved for the conditional use of that land.
"We are working with two retailers both of which are over the 7,000 square feet and are represented in the site plan that is two buildings and 50,000 square feet," said Ghidorzi.
The proposal so far shows a larger retailer and a smaller satellite retailer attached on the same plot as the existing Kwik Trip. Ghidorzi declined to comment at this time as they are still in the process of securing those retailers. Oberbeck said he's so excited, it's hard for him not to spill the beans as there is not thing like it here.
"It's not in the area and most of those larger big boxes are one of a kind developments so it's something that could be unique to Wausau," he said.
He said it will bring in a lot of tax revenue and jobs for the area.
"Wausau is hopefully growing and we've seen that tonight with even apartments complexes and even the need for different things," said Oberbeck. "Maybe the economy is taking a different turn and hopefully improving the quality of life for all of us in Wausau."
There were some concerns for traffic as any entrances into the retailers would be a right turn in and right turn out because of medians, but an opening in the median on 28th Avenue has already been proposed.
As for the zoning change offered, the commission approved it. That recommendation will be heading to Common Council on September 9.

Kaves new space at the Essex Market, slated to open October 29, will feature truffles like the Portly Fig, dark-chocolate ganache mixed with ground figs, burnt fig jam, and fig vinegar; the Frida Kahlo, with Mexican cinnamon, coffee bean, Kahlua, and a dark-chocolate center; and the Coconut, which is like an adult Mounds bar, with coconut cream, organic coconut vinegar, and both sweetened and unsweetened coconut in several different coarsenesses for an extra textual oomph. Look for other sophisticated truffles (including the amazing-sounding Diablo, with its peppery mole center) but also plenty of easy-to-love buttercrunch. Between Anne Saxelby, Kenny Shopsin, and Kave, the Essex Street Market is quickly becoming a food mecca.
Essex Street Market Welcomes New Truffles, Old Buttercrunch

Buttercrunch goddess Roni-Sue Kave, whom you may also remember as Fatty Crab chef Corwin Kave's mom, is about to open her own candy store on the Lower East Side. And, as you might expect from a woman of Kave's caliber, the candy she is fixing to sell there sounds beyond your standard sweet shop. "I made basic candy first, but then I think of ways to make it more interesting — more complex, more levels, more going on."

Clarest XPS2Image Converter (formerly TreasureUP XPS to Image Converter) 1.4
Intuitive layout
The app is wrapped in a user-friendly interface, consisting of a standard window with a well-organized layout. XPS files can be loaded into the list using only the file browser, as the drag-and-drop feature is not supported.
Batch processing feature
Batch processing is possible, so you can add as many files as you want and process them at the same time.
The straightforward method for initializing the conversion procedure is by specifying the output directory and file format. However, it is also possible to set the image quality to "Low," "Normal," "Good" or "Super."
What's more, you can make the application delete source files at the end of the conversion task, remove selected files from the list and stop the conversion process.
Testing its conversion capabilities
Clarest XPS2Image Converter is very low-demanding when it comes to CPU and RAM, so it doesn't affect the overall performance of the computer. It has a good response time and carries out conversion tasks rapidly and error-free. We have not experienced any problems throughout our evaluation, as the app did not hang or crash.
Bottom line
All in all, Clarest XPS2Image Converter offers a very simple solution for turning XPS images into JPEG, PNG and GIF items, without incorporating advanced settings. It can be easily installed and configured by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.

One sure sign of recovery in boom-and-bust power-generation markets is the renewed growth in the planning and construction of power plants. Active efforts are underway in generation development in...
Don't Mess With Texas
America's energy competition laboratory prepares to build.
the supply of generation resources, with a planned implementation of Jan. 1, 2007. The SPM would use system-wide offer caps and resource-specific offer caps ranging between $500/MWh and $3,000/MWh, and phased in between March 1, 2007, and March 1, 2009.
In its 79th session, the Texas legislature reaffirmed and strengthened the PUCT oversight over ERCOT financial and operational aspects. 3 As recommended by the Sunset Advisory Commission, the PUCT operation was extended for another six-year term. Further, the PUCT was required to select and appoint an independent market monitor to be supported and funded by ERCOT.
This came at a time when extremely high prices during the fall of 2004 caused some concerns among regulators over possible opportunities for market-power abuse in the region. ERCOT and the PUCT currently are in the process of selecting an independent market monitor (IMM) and designing related processes. In addition to resource adequacy, Rule 25.505 also addresses market-power issues. The proposed rule currently is under revision and is being discussed among market makers, regulators, and participants. Once the rule is finalized, the selected IMM would conduct the market power screen tests periodically and perform related activities.
As reserve margins are expected to fall, power-plant development activity has heated up once more in ERCOT. Currently, about 18,500 MW of new generation is being developed in ERCOT. Of this amount, almost 2,000 MW is under construction and planned to enter the market by 2010. Further, Global Energy expects that in addition to new generating entry, a few of the mothballed generators may elect to re-commission. We have analyzed the expected economic performance for all mothballed capacity in ERCOT and assume that approximately 3,300 MW of the mothballed 7,900 MW (nameplate capacity) would be re- commissioned between 2008 and 2010.
Fig. 3 shows announced power capacity in ERCOT and its construction status since 2000. Although delayed and canceled plants continue to rise, there remains more than 15,400 MW of "planned" capacity additions still in development.
The large amounts of new supply have caused spark spreads for gas-fired generation in the past few years to be lower than the levels sufficient to provide decent financial results. 4 However, high temperatures around Texas during much of last summer resulted in very high electricity prices across the region even before hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit. As a result, generators have seen somewhat higher spark spreads. Unlike other markets, such as the Midwest, merchant gas generators are not affected by competitive fuel economics between coal or oil and natural gas. This is caused by the preponderance of natural gas in setting the market clearing prices, which reaches nearly 100 percent of all on-peak hours.
A total of 55,364 MW of new generation has been announced in ERCOT since January 2000. Of this amount, 16,200 MW has been canceled or postponed. The upward pressure placed by the escalating natural-gas prices on generator costs and, eventually, on wholesale power prices and the rising concerns over resource adequacy in ERCOT, coupled with the abundance and much lower cost of coal, continue to direct attention to new

HOT TOPICS: Alcoholism Addiction AA Cocaine Heroin
Man Arrested for Displaying Pot Garden on YouTube
William Bradley was allegedly growing pot to relieve symptoms of terminal cancer while seeking 'donations' to help distribute weed to those in need.
A Westbrook, CT man faces numerous drug-related charges after posting a YouTube video of himself giving a tour of his homegrown marijuana farm that he called Hope Garden.
William Bradley, 46, was seen in the video walking through tall pot plants while urging viewers to send him money in the form of donations. "Welcome to my beautiful garden," Bradley said in the video. "As you can see, God has gifted me with an abundance and it's more than I need, so I want to take the extra and give it to people who need the help."
"I'm growing this medicine for myself because, like I said, I do have terminal cancer," Bradley said. "It's something that I've been dealing with for several years now, and it's always a struggle. This medicine really helps." He repeated his name and address several times in the video, which alerted police to his illegal activity. After obtaining a search warrant, authorities raided the garden and seized two pounds of marijuana, more than 20 grams of hashish, two bags of cocaine, four Oxycodone pills, and over $1,000 in cash.
Bradley was charged with possession of narcotics with intent to sell, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, and operating a drug factory, among other crimes.

Brendan Rodgers has made his second capture of the summer after landing Germany-Under-21 international Emre Can from Bayer Leverkusen.
The Reds have had an offer agreed "in principle" for the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder, he had a buyout clause of £9.75m, and the 20-year-old has agreed terms at Anfield, although the deal will not be able to be confirmed officially until July 1. There had been a speed bump surrounding the deal as Bayern Munich, who sold Can to Leverkusen last summer for £4.4m, had the first option to buy him back, but they have now been compensated to the tune of £1.2m for waiving that option. Can becomes the second signing in the space of a few days after Rodgers completed the £4m move for Southampton's Rickie Lambert on Monday as he continues to strengthen the side ahead of a Champions League campaign next season.Bayer's CEO Michael Schade has wished the midfielder well at Liverpool, saying: "Emre Can developed very well and very quickly at Leverkusen over the last 12 months."We would like to have kept him here but the release clause was a part of his contract. Therefore we wish him every success for his development in the Premier League."

In the coming debate over medical marijuana, Agriculture Commissioner Mike Strain could find himself in a pivotal role.
That's according to Sen. Fred Mills, R-Parks, who is sponsoring SB 541 to further define how medical marijuana can be obtained by certain patients after it's prescribed by a doctor.
Mills, a pharmacist, says Strain's department will be needed to make sure marijuana plants have the right kind of potency and are checked for quality control. The legislation brings Strain into the picture as a member of the Therapeutic Marijuana Utilization Review Board that would be created.
But there's also more of a direct oversight role.
"I've spoken to my counterparts in other states about what's going on. We'll have to make sure it's grown under the proper conditions and it's not sprayed with pesticides," Strain says. "The people who might be using this already have pre-existing conditions."
The bill would allow for six growing facilities, one for each congressional district. Producers would also have to come up with $2 million in escrow.
"You would have to have a pretty good production facility that would be tightly controlled," Strain adds.
While the commissioner couldn't provide any numbers for how much of a cash crop it might become, he says it would initially be a "small to medium sized production where the volume wouldn't be that great."

The North Dakota Highway Patrol says a dozen piglets died while being transported to an Iowa farm. They fell from a moving semi-trailer on Interstate 29. The carnage spanned 23 miles.
NDHP Lt. Dave Wolf says the semi was hauling piglets from Winnipeg in Canada to Iowa to be raised. On Wednesday, the piglets somehow lifted an unlockd gate on the undercarriage of the livestock trailer.
A dozen of the animals fell to their deaths between Grand Forks and Fargo. The semi driver was not cited. No other vehicle was damaged.

Nursery Reveal
Thanks for your patience as I try to figure out the juggle of being a mommy to two. My heart is so full and I'm crazy in love with my girls. I've relished in the moments when Josie giggles with a full belly laugh or Grace looks up at me with her newborn eyes taking in her momma. I've handled the moments when both children are crying and I can't immediately meet all their needs, let alone my own. I have to say, so far, it's better than I expected. But, to date, I have had a lot of help. I'm easing my way into doing this whole mommy to two under two…as much as I can ease into it. I'm also taking my Aunt's great advice, "in case of emergency, break chocolate" I've been breaking open plenty of chocolate bars. Post pregnancy diet be damned.
Speaking of chocolate, I do have a long awaited tasty treat for you. Thanks for your patience with the nursery reveal. I'm so pleased that I got pictures done by the very talented Liz Perryman.
Here is the real estate shot of the nursery when we moved in…
And here it is from the same angle today…
Two big changes to the room were ripping out the old stained carpet and putting in wall to wall jute and then also adding an overhead light with the Palm Beach chic faux bamboo pendant I found off of ETSY.
The bed frame was given to me from the previous owner but the bedding, lighting and artwork is all new…
Love this pic Liz snuck in of me trying to fluff the finishing touches with ten day old Grace in tow.
The previous owner also gave me the matching side table to the bed set. I originally wanted to paint it but then decided the natural color gave a softness that the room needed with all the red and navy blue in the room.
Next to the side table is the glider where I spend a lot of time; I pretty much live here at night.
Next to the glider, is the bassinet with the little sheep watching over Grace in those moments when I'm sleeping.
I took advantage of a built in desk area to make into the changing table; here it was before -
I put up grasscloth wallpaper, added some art, Graham painted the desk white and my lovely MIL made a skirt for the desk with fabric from Ikea. Here it is today…
And there you have it, the single completed room in the house. I do have to say it takes a village to get the nursery completely finished and photo ready by the time Grace was ten days old. Thanks to Graham for painting the desk and spray painting the chandelier, to my MIL for making the skirt at the changing table, to my SIL for monogramming Grace's pillow (I brought the pillow to the hospital to have it monogrammed as soon as she was born), to my mother for running errands and helping with raising the bed up five inches, and to my cousin for the wonderful styling and finishing touches. And I was able to show off the room in the best light because of the talented photographer, Liz Perryman. Now, that's how you finish a nursery with a ten day old…a village.
Once the commotion slows down, I'll be back to working on my home and have some more reveals coming your way. In the meantime, I hope you'll put up with occasional posts on my girls and inspiration decor shots as I turn to my blog as my little respite spot far away from dirty diapers and unnecessary tears. If you don't hear from me, that's because I'm busy getting snuggles and kisses before my girls grow up way too fast.
Welcome to the World, Grace Katharine
Today, I'm honored to introduce you to our brand new baby girl, Grace Katharine. Grace was born Thursday, August 7th at 2:34 PM, weighing 7 lbs 1oz and 19 inches long.
She has been our amazing Grace and our hearts are full welcoming another girl into our family.
I keep saying to Graham how wonderful it is to have another baby and to have two children. We love this sweet, beautiful, precious little one and the strong bond she is already forming with her big sister.
I thought I'd share with you how we picked the name Grace. Back when I was twenty weeks pregnant, we went in for a routine ultra sound where they found something that required extra testing. As any mother and father would be, we were nervous and frightened for our baby's health, even though the odds were in our favor. While waiting for the test results to come back, I wanted to go to a church to say some prayers for our little girl. I decided that we should go to the Grace Cathedral in San Francisco as they also had an art installation by Anne Patterson that I wanted to see.
The moment Graham, Josie and I walked through the cathedral's doors, we felt at peace. We took in the glory of the art and the cathedral. It was a calm and peaceful Sunday afternoon and there weren't that many people in the church. It was quiet, allowing for reflection, prayer and faith to build that all would be okay with our baby. We walked the labyrinth twice; Graham carried Josie and I had my hand on my belly. We then walked around the cathedral and lit a candle at every spot where there were candles to light. We stopped at each candle and prayed together as a family for our baby. Finally, we sat in a pew and had some quiet reflection. We left feeling faithful and much of our worries were put at ease in the sacred space. It was one of the most meaningful moments I've ever had in a church and it brought me closer to my family in ways I can't describe.
We were expecting to receive the results in three to four days following our visit to the Grace Cathedral. However, unexpectedly, I received a call the next morning. The results came back negative and all was in the clear with our baby. We were having a healthy baby girl.
Graham and I had made a pact to not discuss names while we were waiting for the test results. When the happy news came back, we were both eager to discuss names. Graham came home from work that day and said that he had a name in mind; I said that I did too but I was really hooked on it and I was hoping he would like my name. Graham wanted us to say our names at the same time but I chickened out (biggest regret ever). So I said the name that I was thinking of first; it was Grace, the exact name Graham had in mind, for the exact same reason.
She is our amazing Grace. She is a wonderful miracle who we are incredibly blessed to have. Our hearts are full and we are so grateful our prayers were answered.
Grace has also popped up in other moments before she was even known to be in our lives. When my dad was in hospice, he was very confused with cancer in his brain. He continually tried to get out of bed but he was too weak to walk so my mom and I tirelessly tried to keep him in bed or put him back to bed. One day, I decided to sing him his favorite church song that he said his mother sang famously at their church growing up; it was Amazing Grace. I sat at the edge of his bed and sang it in repeat; it had this beautiful calming effect on him and he stayed in bed while I sang.
Thinking of my dad, and wanting the continuity of one of his favorite songs passed down to our children, I sing "Amazing Grace" to Josie when she is upset crying at night or she's had a big fall and she just needs to be held and sung too. By the second verse, Josie has almost always settled into my chest, gulped down her tears and begins to find peace again.
We chose the middle name Katharine after a growing line of Katharine's in my family. I have always been proud to be a Katharine, as is my mother and my Great Grandmother. I hope that Grace shares the pride that I do to be named after such strong, beautiful women.
Grace has brought all of this peaceful joy into our lives. She is calm the moment she lies on my chest and she does remarkably well with her sister's "helping" hands poking and prodding at her.
Above all else, I can't wait to see all that Grace grows to be. We are forever thankful to have her here.
Bassinet Bedding
As I've mentioned, we don't have a crib in the nursery. We're just going to wait it out and see if Josie transitions to a big girl bed before the baby needs a crib; otherwise, we'll take a trip to Ikea one day and buy a second crib in a hurry. In the meantime, I have this absolutely beautiful hand me down bassinet.
I wanted to do a custom bassinet sheet since I didn't get to put together bedding for a crib. Last year, I got some remnant fabric from Rikshaw Design sample sale and I had that made into a bassinet sheet. I just picked it up yesterday and I'm so excited about it…
If you don't know about Rikshaw Design, then I'm happy to introduce you. It's one of the all time cutest shops and a fantastic place for some mommy and me looks (which I'm all about). Rikshaw Design is a local company, based out of Marine, and Katherine, the owner, is the nicest ever.
They are currently having a major summer sale so act fast…
For the wee ones…
All items available here.
Happy Friday!
Breakfast Nook Wishes
Our breakfast room would be so much better utilized if it had an L shaped breakfast built in nook. Here is the real estate shot of our breakfast nook (with previous owners furniture)
I would like a booth similar to this one that I did for a client last year…
In keeping with the style of our Spanish style home, I would like to do a camel faux leather tufted on the back and not tufted for the seat. I'm thinking somewhere along these lines for the fabric -
We already have the chandelier that'll go over the table, it's a very fun chandelier from Stray Dog Designs but mine was one they did for Anthropologie (no longer sold at the store).
I would love to get a custom table made that would fit perfectly in the space with a base like this but powder coated white:
Finally, we would have space on the other side of the table for chairs (once the high chairs are gone), in which case I would go for these Serena and Lily chairs:
There you have it! My design plan. But, like all good things, they take time and for now, I'll just ruminate on the design.
Bahama Chic
My family is on vacation; Graham's parents just returned from Hawaii and his sister is in the Bahamas. I'm due to give birth very, very soon; for once, I actually lack an itch to be on their vacations. BUT, if I weren't so pregnant, I would be chomping at the bit to ride along in their suitcases. One place that I'd love to be is at this Bahama house designed by Alessandra Branca and featured in Lonny.
You know I'm feeling the various shades of pinks, the geometric patterns and the crisp white walls. This house has officially fallen into number 1 dream beach house.
I'm not much of a DIYer. More of a DIFM. Why do it yourself when I can have some Do It For Me? This is a trait I inherited from my father. I highly recommend it.
Despite this theory, I broke out my DIY skills for the nursery art. I took hair bows and smashed them between Ikea Malm frames at about the center of the frame. Ta Da…
I even tried to hang them myself but I'm really bad at getting them hung in a straight line. I'm hoping I can find someone to DIFM (do it for me)…any takers?
Happy Friday, everyone! We'll be laying low and finishing up some touches on the nursery, doing laundry, installing car seats, setting up massive contraptions to get the new baby to sleep and be happy – oh and hanging bow art in a straight line.
Remember when I said that I wanted to do wall to wall jute as carpeting in our new home? Well, I imagined it all over the place. Then, I priced it out (it's actually much more reasonably priced then other carpet alternatives) and "jute all over the house" got shoved into pipe dream mode.
That is, until I hurt myself. The carpet the previous owners had in the nursery was so threadbare that the nails were coming up. They literally stabbed my bare feet a couple of times. Ouch!
We actually HAD to remove the carpet and put in a new one. So, I dug into my pipe dream vault and found some fantastic jute carpeting. I absolutely love the way it looks.
You have seen this little corner of the nursery with the old carpet…
And now with the new…
My genius sister in law gave me the fantastic advice that I should get "hurt" all over the house to accomplish more pipe dreams.
These are the ones I've come up with…
"The stairwell carpet is so threadbare I slipped on it. We need Stark Antelope carpet immediately"
"Every time I walk into our living room, I sneeze. I'm absolutely certain it's the carpet; we must replace it with hardwood"
"I'm going blind looking at Josie's blank built in shelving; it needs to be covered with wallpaper"
Feel free to use my excuses in your own home. And remember to come back here for sound marriage advice.
Oh, and in other great news, the carpet matches Josie's hair. Happy accident? I think not. Very much planned.

KeyCorp has joined several other banks Monday in announcing public stock offerings. It is among 10 major banks ordered by the government to raise more capital as a buffer against future losses.
The offerings are pressuring financial shares. They also underscore the improving conditions in the capital markets and the increasing demand for bank stocks, which have skyrocketed in the wake of the market's massive two-month rally.
Three banks that have received a clean bill of health from the government — U.S. Bancorp, Capital One Financial Corp. and BB&T Corp. — said proceeds from their common stock offerings would go toward repayment of federal bailout funds received last fall.
