About the Lorrie Ryan Award
Lorrie Ryan was an outstanding faculty member at Central Michigan University whose commitment to teaching using principles of best practices, mentoring faculty and students, and continually developing her own teaching embodied the spirit of Lilly Conferences. Lorrie passed away September 2005, following a long battle with cancer. Lorrie Ryan said that there should be a mechanism to financially support and encourage faculty who attend the Lilly Conference for the first time, in hopes that faculty could come to appreciate the value of the Lilly conference. This award attempts to honor her wish.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Rice County Attorney Scott McPherson says he has filed charges against a Lyons girl who reportedly faked her own kidnapping.
Investigators spent two days searching for 14-year-old Layla Lee in late September and early October. She eventually returned to her home, telling authorities she had been kidnapped at gun-point and held against her will.
Investigators vigorously pursued the case -- only to determine it was all made up.
Police say Lee eventually admitted the story wasn't true.
McPherson says he reviewed all the evidence in the case, and decided it was appropriate to charge Lee as a juvenile with two misdemeanors.
The formal complaint was filed November 20th. McPherson charges Lee with falsely reporting a crime and obstructing official duty. The Rice County Clerk's Office says she will make her first appearance in court on Dec. 22.
Because Lee is charged as a minor and with misdemeanors, McPherson says she may be allowed to stay in the custody of her parents if convicted. He says she could have the charges expunged from her record in the future.

Kar, Ayan and Low, Ke-Bin and Oye, Michael and Stroscio, Michael A and Dutta, Mitra and Nicholls, Alan and Meyyappan, M (2011) Investigation of Nucleation Mechanism and Tapering Observed in ZnO Nanowire Growth by Carbothermal Reduction Technique. Nanoscale Research Letters, 6 (1). pp. 1-9.
|PDF - Published Version
Official URL: http://www.springerlink.com/content/343xj744824266...
ZnO nanowire nucleation mechanism and initial stages of nanowire growth using the carbothermal reduction technique are studied confirming the involvement of the catalyst at the tip in the growth process. Role of the Au catalyst is further confirmed when the tapering observed in the nanowires can be explained by the change in the shape of the catalyst causing a variation of the contact area at the liquid-solid interface of the nanowires. The rate of decrease in nanowire diameter with length on the average is found to be 0.36 nm/s and this rate is larger near the base. Variation in the ZnO nanowire diameter with length is further explained on the basis of the rate at which Zn atoms are supplied as well as the droplet stability at the high flow rates and temperature. Further, saw-tooth faceting is noticed in tapered nanowires, and the formation is analyzed crystallographically.

Service of Process to Virtual Office
I serve as the chair of the Committee on Professional Ethics for the New York City Bar Association. The committee recently issued a formal opinion concerning the use of virtual law offices by New York attorneys. We concluded that it is permissible for New York lawyers to use the street address of a virtual law office as the "principal law office address" under Rule 7.1(h) of the New York Rules of Professional Conduct, as well as on business cards, letterhead and law firm websites.
What's being said
I'm considerably pleased with my membership to the New York Law Journal. Other media sites can take days or weeks to deliver high end articles. Not forgetting, you keep to the point, as opposed to throwing in your own perceptions. Thank you for yet another outstanding article.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Marlon Byrd celebrated his arrival in Pittsburgh with a three-run homer, and the Pirates beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-1 on Wednesday night.
Byrd, acquired along with catcher John Buck from the New York Mets on Tuesday, hit his 22nd homer of the season into the bushes in center field in the seventh inning as Pittsburgh ended a three-game losing streak.
Josh Harrison went 3 for 4 with an RBI for the Pirates and Andrew McCutchen and Gaby Sanchez added two hits apiece.
Charlie Morton (6-3) scattered five hits over 6 2-3 innings, walking three and striking out two to pick up his first career victory over the Brewers.
Milwaukee starter Tom Gorzelanny (3-6) yielded four runs on nine hits in 5 1-3 innings, walking one and striking out five. Carlos Gomez had two of Milwaukee's seven hits.

Think all blacks vote straight Democratic? Think there are no black followers of Judaism? Think African-Americans and Jews don't get along? Say any of this to Tony Award-winning actress Nell Carter, who will be speaking to the Jewish Federation Tuesday about her conversion to Judaism, and she'll say, "Gimme a break."
"The press, for some reason, will not acknowledge that there are black Jews," Carter says. "There are Jews in Egypt. There are Jews in lots of Arab countries. There are Ethiopian Jews, there are Jews in Africa, there are Jews everywhere."
As for Jewish/black relations, Carter thinks that's also blown way out of proportion by a Caucasian-dominated news media. "When was the last time you heard that a Jew did something to a black person?" Carter asks. "The big companies that are letting people off aren't run by Jews."
Carter, who was born Catholic, first found herself drawn to the religion at the age of 12. Then in her twenties she began to read different Bibles and compare texts. She officially converted while married to her former husband, an Orthodox Jew, though she claims his faith had nothing to do with her decision. For one thing, Carter says, Jews never seek out converts. "He was so against my converting because the other Jews would think that he did it."
Of her three children, Carter's oldest daughter is Christian, and her two sons are being raised Jewish, though she has no problem with whatever religion they eventually choose. "If they decide in the end they don't want to be Jewish, then so be it." Nor is her speech intended to win over any new converts. She simply wants to tell people why she did it, and show them it's "not a phase."
She might just break a few stereotypes in the process.

Breast Exchange (going larger 300cc - 485cc's).
My motivation for my 1st surgery (breast augmentation 1992):
If you are getting larger breasts because you like breasts, when given the choice by your Plastic Surgeon, when in surgery if there is a question between a smaller size or larger size, what should they do, go larger. It is the first thing you wish you did post surgery :) and my motivation 22 years later for my exchange. My first surgery was is 1992 the day before Dow Corning Silicone Implants were banned. I had done my research and was confident I still wanted my surgery. I went through with the surgery and loved them. I had a great PS and really had no recovery issues what so ever. It was a very painful surgery I will not lie. I was 22 and had not yet had children so my breast tissue had never "stretched out" so to speak. I was a small B cup and went to a full C cup 300 CC's. As the years went by I always believed that after about 20 years I would want NEW implants, to be larger for one reason and because I believe our own body parts do not last forever so the "fake" probably won't either. My opinion only, not my PS's. Needless to say I wanted larger breasts from the day my swelling was completely gone. I erred on the side of smaller, hindsight should have been bigger!
My motivation for exchange surgery (2014): In 2005 I had my only child and of course pregnancy changed the shape of my body just a bit, lol. The one major change my body went through was my ribcage. It expanded about 2 inches-literally and never went back. Based on that my current breasts never seemed the same. They seemed a bit too small for size. I am 5'4" tall and approx 135lbs. The change in my ribcage became a motivator to investigate what I would do…I met with my PS in 2010 for a consultation and estimate. For many reasons I did not end up scheduling the surgery at that time but I still didn't let go of wanting larger breasts. This past November I became a bit obsessed (my husbands words) with having the surgery, I scheduled a consult late Nov. and then scheduled the surgery for January. My exchange would be to go from a C cup to a FULL D. I didn't want to have to wear push-up bra's to achieve the fullness I wanted. We estimated the right size would be between 485-550 cc's and this time I erred on the size of larger. Just like my first surgery I researched pictures of breasts until I found women with my chest shape and size breast I was looking for. I took them into the office and worked with the team to define what size I considered too big and what size wasn't big enough.
The Exchange surgery experience: My surgery ironically took place on the same day 22 years later with the same surgeon. I had my upper eye lids done at the same time as my exchange. The breast surgery was by no means as painful the second time around. In fact aside from the swelling and bruising the pain was minimal. It felt like I had a hard workout and lasted about a week. The first time I felt like I had broken ribs and was run over by a bus. Once again the shape while swollen was exactly the look I wanted. I was hopeful they were not overly swollen and would remain this size. I did know better, they would get smaller.
At my 1st post op visit my PS explained on my left breast there was heavy scar tissue from the 1st surgery and I would probably experience more bruising and pain in that breast. This was true, it was definitely sorer. Additionally my right implant had ruptured. I nor my surgeon knew this going into surgery. He explained there was no cause for alarm as it seemed very recent and was contained.
Ladies please know this, I did have a mammogram 8 days prior. The rupture was not visible on the mamaogram. We do not know if the rupture happened before or after and there is no way to tell. Ironically it seems I made the right choice to get the exchange done when I did. Timing is everything.
At my visit I was told we used 485cc moderate silicone implants. I asked why he did not go larger and it was explained that with the expander this seemed the right size.
A week later my stitches were removed and all was great. I did have one spot on my left breast that seemed a bit irritated. I watched the spot and about a week later it seemed to get worse. I returned to my PS and he said it seemed like the spot was having issues healing and to give it time and it would improve. I returned again about 3 weeks later to look at the spot again. It had not improved much but I was told to keep an eye on it. At this visit I also explained to my PS that the swelling had gone down significantly and I was not happy with my size. I loved the size when I was first swollen but I knew they would get smaller and was concerned they were not what I wanted. I was not a FULL D. Maybe a fuller C but not full D. I am a bit disappointed with this specifically (I feel I paid for full D's) but I am still happy overall that they look as good as they do.
On my next visit my spot had improved but was still an issue to be monitored. The tissue under my breast has become extremely thin and rippled . I can feel the implant and I am worried it will not hold up under stress (exercise, etc). My PS recommends I wait and see if it heals or if I choose I can get the scar re-done. I haven't yet made up my mind. I am not sure if I am more worried about fixing the issue or creating new ones. My breasts are not perfect but have always been very natural looking even the 2nd rime around. I feel lucky. A friend once said, "The enemy of good is better".
My body does not handle surgery well, as I have many drug allergies and it is a challenge for the surgeons during surgery and me post op. I often end up with 3-6 months of chronic hives at the least, not fun. This surgery proved the same.
My recommendation on exchange: I feel my opinion is only relaveant for those going larger, not because they don't like their breasts but because they do and truly just want larger / re-shaped breasts from what they currently have. If that is the case, then even given my circumstances, I would recommend getting an exchange. Given the opportunity to do it again, I would.
The surgery is definitely less painful. Just make sure you are adamant about the size and shape you are looking for and ask questions as to the things they can encounter with an exchange, risks etc.. Don't let that scare you just make an informed decision. I did and I have no regrets.

Textile Schools and Colleges with Degree Program Information
Textile programs involve working with fiber and fabrics to design, create, manage and market clothing and related products. Textile degree programs are often found at schools with broad art programs and can be taken at most degree levels.
Selecting a Textile School
The textiles industry consists of product manufacturers and professionals who market finished products. Students should make sure that the school they select offers a full overview of the field, as well as opportunities to specialize in an area of their own interest. Textile schools and colleges should help students develop skills in cutting and sewing fabric, knitting, felt making, netting, spinning, twining, dye technology, textile design and textile marketing.
In addition, the school may offer internships with local businesses and nonprofits. Many students find internships at art centers and businesses that design, make and sell their own clothes. Students can find a program which allows them to experience several internships in different areas of the textile industry, as well. Internships allow students to build valuable professional skills and develop professional contacts, which can help increase their career opportunities after graduation.
Program Information
Students in textile classes may work with physical fabrics, as well as computer-aided design software used by those in the industry. Some of these software programs may include PlaidMaker Pro, MotifStudio and StyleDraper Pro.
In addition to technical skills, students are introduced to the history of textiles and traditions within the industry, as well as changes and trends in the fashion industry. This helps the student understand who he or she is creating a product for and how to work towards developing the next trend in textiles. Students may also be encouraged to take additional art classes offered by the school within their program, in order to increase their creativity and design skills.

Houston Astros pitcher Jarred Cosart hears the criticism, but his and the Astros focus is on "shocking the world"
Jarred Cosart knows that it's highly unlikely he'll be repeating his 1.95 ERA he posted in 10 starts last season.
"Only one guy did that in 200 innings last year," he said. "I know it's crazy to expect that."
But forgive Cosart if he isn't buying into or believing the voices—and there are many of them—saying that Cosart will regress and last year was nothing more than a fluke.
Debate Jarred Cosart's 2013 season all you want—and plenty have—but the fact of the matter is Cosart was one of the few bright spots for the Houston Astros in times of very dark days at the Major League level for the organization.
Cosart's spring training has been focused on the off-season mechanics changes he made, his off-speed pitches and coming out of March healthy for the season.
So far, so good.
"I made a lot of mechanical adjustments this spring, and the goal is to stay healthy," he said. "I'm trying to get quick, clean innings. Get in and get out and let the offense get up there and try to score some runs."
Cosart did something Brett Wallace, Jordan Lyles and plenty others before him couldn't do. Cosart gave the Astros organization a reason to be optimistic towards the future. Yet, focus is still on what Cosart said or what Cosart didn't do.
Cosart enters spring training with the most attention in the rotation. Houston signed Scott Feldman this winter, but there's no denying the eyes on Cosart entering his first full season in the bigs. Last year, Cosart set a franchise record for lowest ERA in the first 10 starts of a career, as well as most consecutive games of at least five innings and allowing no more than three runs in his first eight starts.
Enough about the good stuff, 'experts' say. Let's talk about how much of a fluke that season was.
Cosart walked more batters than he struck out in his 60 innings last year. His 5.3 BB/9 and 5.0 K/9 are well worse than his minor league averages of 3.6 BB/9 and 7.8 K/9. FanGraphs predicts Cosart will win just 6-8 games and finish with an ERA between 4.00 and 5.00.
Talk of regression has been heard, and noted.
"People out there are doing calculations that I'll have 150 walks and stop getting lucky," he said. "My whole life 'has been you can't hit', then I hit. Then it's 'you can't pitch', then I started pitching. There's an ongoing list of what you can't do. As long as you use it as motivation you'll be fine."
Out of all the stats out there on Cosart, the 85 percent of runners stranded sticks out to him the most.
"In low-A my pitching coach told me not to worry about anything, but if someone gets on base make sure they don't score," he said. "It's your job as a starting pitcher to keep your team in a game for seven innings. When someone gets on you make sure they don't score whether it's getting a double play ball or getting a strike out.
"It's all about timing. A lot of my strikeouts were with guys on second or third (base). As a competitor and pitcher, it's about getting outs when it counts."
Cosart has enough on his plate. He doesn't need to worry about what a calculator predicts. Instead, he's worrying about changing the losing environment the Astros have been stuck in after three straight seasons of at least 100 losses.
"The biggest difference is the veteran guys we brought in," Cosart said. "They've set the tone that losing won't fly. We're not going out there telling everyone were gonna win 105 games. But there's a real positive attitude. We've got a great mix of guys."
Cosart mentions veteran leaders such as newly signed Scott Feldman and Chad Qualls, as well as guys like Peter Moylan. But with so many young guys in spring camp, a lot of them are looking up to Cosart.
"I've always had a leadership role, but I'm in no position as far as my time in the big leagues, to tell everyone that I'm grasping that leadership role," he said. "I try to lead by example on the field and lean on guys like Feldman and look at them to be more vocal."
Jordan Lyles was traded to the Rockies from the Astros this off-season in a deal for Dexter Fowler. But before Cosart, Lyles was the "next big thing" in the starting rotation. With Lyles not working out for the Astros, there's added pressure on Cosart to be a success.
"I feel like everyone who's a prospect is expected to be that guy," he said. "You dominate guys in the minor leagues and scouts and general managers expect that to come in to play right when you hit the majors.
"Yeah there's pressure especially being from Houston. I've improved every year, level by level in some aspect. I think that's something you have to do. I set goals for myself, and I don't mind being that guy. You try not letting pressure get to you, but everyone's lying if they say there's no kind of pressure."
Cosart was anxious last year awaiting the call, as he felt ready (and sometimes more deserving) than other guys getting their chances. But his time in Triple-A has been the most important part to his improvement.
"Some Double-A managers are set on it being better than Triple-A. You might see more Double-A make it to bigs, but for me facing guys like Bobby Abreu and Matt Diaz who have 10 years of experience in the majors was huge. That's when you learn about hitters approach and more of the mental side."
What if Cosart, just 23, does regress? Not regress in terms of his 1.95 ERA because that's almost a given. But what if he regresses in terms of growth as a pitcher? The line behind him of pitchers waiting for a shot in the rotation isn't short.
"Rather than me pay attention to that, my mindset is to go out and have the best season I possibly can," he said. "Whatever happens, you set yourself up. If you pitch well, some team will want you whether it's the Astros or someone else. You just have to go out and perform. I hope all those guys do well in the minor leagues and get called up and do well.
"I just have to worry about individually being the best I can be. I've learned to stop worrying about what everyone else is doing. Everything takes care of itself."
Cosart is part of the "shock the world" mentality that is spreading throughout the clubhouse. Although he wasn't part of the team all season, the losses mounted and were tough to take for Cosart. But he knows that sometimes the loss-column doesn't tell the whole story. He brings up times last season where the Astros were playing well but might've lost by one run. Turning those games around will be key for the Astros this season.
"We're just trying to turn that corner," he said. "We've got some new pieces and maybe this year we turn half of those 1-run losses into wins and then we're looking at .500 baseball."
Would that count as shocking the world?
"Honestly, for me, if we didn't finish last place it would shock the world. I think not losing 100 games would shock a lot of experts," he said. "For us, .500 has been going around quite a bit. Now obviously that won't win the division in the AL West, but to be respected against those teams when we come into spring training next year would be huge."
Entering his first full season, Cosart's goals aren't short-sighted. His goal is to be one of the best pitchers in baseball, not just average. The former 38th round pick has perhaps already eclipsed original expectations set for him when he was in the Phillies organization. Now, it's on to attacking a new set of expectations--his own.
"It's all about belief in your own ability and working hard," Cosart says. "You take your lumps. For me, 2011 was not very good at all. You've got to be able to make adjustments and have to be able to take criticism.
"There are always going to be people out there that have something bad to say. It's all about turning those into positives and keeping your head down and keep going every day."
There's no debating that.

Cape Cultural Heritage – History of the Solms-Delta Museum van de Caab
Whether through our wine, our music, our cuisine, our environment, or simply through our museum, Solms-Delta's heartfelt mission is to embrace and celebrate all that it means to be South African. In the second decade of our democracy, what "South African-ness" stands for has started to change. Hidden or ignored narratives have revealed themselves, and our appreciation of our heritage has become far more inclusive. We have discovered that our history, however difficult, painful and complex – as well as inspiring – is the shared basis for our future. In everything we do at Solms-Delta we try to honour what it means to be South African, to be Hiervandaan, in an honest and open way that unites all of our people, cultures, languages, musical styles, culinary traditions, flora and fauna, historic landscapes and buildings.
The social history of the 320-year-old estate is displayed in a museum in the original wine cellar, dating back to 1740. This is a few yards from a recently excavated Later Stone Age settlement site, and the exposed foundations of a 1680s hunting lodge, one of the oldest buildings in the Cape. Amazingly, the first colonists to settle on the farm (Hans Silverbach and his freed slave wife Ansela van der Caab) chose exactly the same spot to build their home as the Stone Age hunter-gatherers had selected thousands of years before.
From its name, which honours the farm's slave heritage, to the fascinating display, the emphasis of the Museum van de Caab is on the individual people who lived and worked on the farm, from pre-colonial times to the present. One of the walls is covered by 200 stone plaques, each memorializing an individual life given to the farm through slavery.
Admission and a guided tour of the museum are free of charge.
Farm Tours
To celebrate the history and achievements in recent years, the estate offers various special interest farm tours to explore the history, the music, the food and the people of a bygone era.

Fleta Page: Canberra tennis sensation Nick Kyrgios will be back in action tonight - this time in the US Open against Russian 21st seed Mikhail Youzhny.
Kyrgios has targeted a seeding for next year's Australian Open as his next big goal as he attempts to repeat his Wimbledon heroics.
Co-coach Todd Larkham has warned the 19-year-old to forget about sports cars and nightclubs as he deals with heightened expectations after shocking world No.1 Rafael Nadal in London.
The US Open is the first time the world No.58 has directly qualified for a grand slam draw through his seeding, having required wildcards in the past.

The Abbott government could reach Australia's five per cent emissions reduction target by 2020 if it adopts changes to its direct action policy proposed by Independent senator Nick Xenophon, according to independent research.
The findings of the RepuTex study suggest that if a deal is struck with the Senate cross-bench to pass Senator Xenophon's amendments to direct action then the likely emissions reductions the scheme could achieve by 2020 will more than double.
But Senator Xenophon's proposal would require the government to reverse its position on a number of climate policy measures, including the purchase of international permits to make up any shortfall in emissions reductions, a measure that Prime Minister Tony Abbott has staunchly opposed.
Let's take a look at national politics as we inch closer to 10am.
"The federal government is digging in over unpopular cuts in the budget, with cabinet ministers warning other savings measures will be found if a compromise cannot be reached with the opposition and Senate crossbench.
Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said on Sunday that if the budget spending cuts and savings measures, including the $7 GP co-payment, the rise in fuel excise and changes to university fees, were not passed then "the only alternative to balance the books is to increase taxes".

Fleta Page: Four interior design students at Sydney TAFE have completed a renovation that makes The Block looks like child's play.
With a budget of $60,000 and 14 weeks, their assignment was to transform a rundown cottage into a home that could be placed on the rental market.
The property didn't offer a strong start. With cracked walls, no kitchen, an outside toilet and cold fluorescent lighting the students had a monumental task - but they came in under budget.

At least one in four refugees locked in indefinite detention on the basis of secret ASIO findings has attempted or threatened suicide, a new analysis has revealed.
Several of the 44 refugees have now been incarcerated more than five years without charge in Melbourne and Sydney, and none are allowed to know the detail of the secret assessments used to justify their detention.
The heavy psychological toll has led to extraordinary rates of depression, anxiety and self-harm, including one man repeatedly beating his head with a toilet door.

Fleta Page: James Hird has returned to Essendon for the first time in 12 months this morning, as his AFL suspension ended.
At the time of Hird's last formal involvement, the Bombers were based at Windy Hill, but arriving at the new club home of the True Value Solar Centre in Tullamarine Hird said that he was "excited to be back at the club".
Minister for Education and Training Joy Burch has welcomed consultation on the ACT Public School Food and Drink Policy, which is the next stage of the Chief Minister's Weight Action Plan.
The policy applies a traffic light system to food, with red food and drinks which should not be on the menu, amber for those which should be consumed in moderation, and green for healthy options.
"The rate of overweight or obese children is on the rise, and the habits children learn early are important to their future health and wellbeing," said Ms Burch.
"Over recent years schools have made progress in this area. Canteens are providing healthier options, and students are being taught how to grow and cook healthy food."
A working group consisting of key community, academic and school stakeholders has started the review process that will be finalised by late 2014.
The final policy is expected to be launched in early 2015. The policy is available for comment on the Time to Talk website until October 17.
Lionel Messi wasted little time in finding his stride as he struck twice to lead 10-man Barcelona to a 3-0 home win over Elche and hand new coach Luis Enrique a happy start to the La Liga season on Sunday.
Youngster Munir El Haddadi hit the woodwork as did Andres Iniesta before Messi made the breakthrough, turning well in the box and slotting in after 42 minutes.
Barca's job was complicated with Javier Mascherano sent off for bringing down Garry Rodrigues a minute later but Munir, drafted into the side as a replacement for the injured Neymar, clipped home to make it 2-0 shortly after the restart.

Fleta Page: Residents of San Francisco and northern California's Napa Valley were jolted awake at 3.20am, local time, by an earthquake that measured 6.0 in magnitude.
The quake has left almost 100 people injured, caused some 50 gas main breaks and 30 water main leaks and left roughly 42,000 homes without power.
The quake is significant, as both the largest to hit northern California since 1989, and a major seismic event in a tranche of American geography which is, by all accounts, long overdue for "The Big One".

Catholic school teachers within the Canberra and Goulburn Dioceses will strike on Monday and Tuesday as the ACT/NSW Independent Education Union (IEU) continues to protest ongoing EBA negotiations with employers.
The Archdiocese of Canberra and Goulburn's Canberra schools include Marist College, St Edmund's and St Clare's as well as Catholic schools in Goulburn, Queanbeyan, Cooma, Gundagai, Young, and West Wyalong.
IEU general secretary John Quessy said schools within the ACT were expected to strike on Tuesday while those in NSW, including Goulburn and Queanbeyan, would strike on Monday.
Fleta Page: The federal government is on track to fork out $1 billion in redundancy payouts to public servants even before entitlements such as leave are paid.
Analysis of 760 retrenchments across a number of Commonwealth employers since the federal election show the average redundant public servant has been leaving the bureaucracy with $64,331 plus entitlements.
Now for a quick look at world news headlines.
An American journalist held captive for nearly two years by al-Qaeda's official branch in Syria has been freed, according to a representative of the journalist's family and a report on Sunday by the Al-Jazeera network.
The journalist, Peter Theo Curtis, was abducted near the Syria-Turkey border in October 2012. He was held by the Nusra Front, the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria, which has broken with the more radical Islamic State. Another American journalist, James Foley, who was kidnapped in Syria in November 2012, was beheaded last week by the Islamic State, which posted images of his execution on YouTube.

A former Canberra public servant who has had more than 500 taxpayer-funded physiotherapy sessions over seven years – at a cost of more than $60,000 – is taking legal action to keep the treatment going.
But Darryl Durham's lawyers say the Commonwealth could be left paying a $1 million compensation bill because of the decision to deny the $75-a-week treatment for his bad back.

Sean Carson at the Bureau of Meteorology has said there is a fairly good chance of showers or a thunderstorm passing across the territory later today.
Mr Carson said anywhere between 1 and 5mm of rain should fall from the mid afternoon and any thunderstorm would be relatively mild.
"We'll probably see some showers around tomorrow morning or early afternoon but it certainly won't be raining throughout the day," he said.
Mr Carson said once the showers pass we're likely to enjoy fine conditions towards the end of the week.
Fleta Page: A blanket ban on vending machines is among a number of tough new measures for ACT public schools laid out in a draft policy released today.
The release follows ACT Council of P&C Association's vocal opposition to the timing of the ban of soft drinks at ACT public school canteens - planned for the end of 2014.
The new policy goes further by ousting vending machines altogether as well as barring chocolates, chips and fatty foods from tuck shops, and prohibiting junk food as student rewards.

A Swiss scientist who won the Nobel Prize for medicine with an Australian colleague is set to be recognised for his contribution to medical research by the same Canberra institution where they did their pioneering research.
Rolf Zinkernagel was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1996 along with Australian Peter Doherty for their research at Canberra's John Curtin School for Medical Research in the 1970s.
The pair was recognised for their work on the Killer T cell, a cell which plays a crucial role in the human immune system.

Boat and bike hire businesses on Canberra's Lake Burley Griffin fear being thrown out to make way for the government's ambitious redevelopment of West Basin.
Jim Seears, who runs the paddle boat hire, says the government has told him he has no valid lease and must close up shop as early as the end of the coming summer season.
The Mr Spokes bike hire business is in a stronger position; owning the building and a lease that runs until 2027. But owners Martin Shanahan and Jillian Edwards say they, too, are getting short shrift from the government, which has threatened to resume the lease under the Lands Acquisition Act if they can't come to a deal.
Independent Education Union ACT general secretary John Quessy has confirmed that up to 1400 teachers from 48 Catholic schools in the Canberra and Goulburn region will take industrial action on Tuesday morning as they protest against ongoing EBA negotiations.
Catholic school employers have been negotiating with the Independent Education Union since July, with the union declaring previous offers as "disrespectful and insulting".
Teachers are set to vote on industrial action.

Another man wrongly convicted as a killer has warned that David Harold Eastman's fight for justice has only just started.
And John Button – who wrongly spent five years in the notorious Fremantle Prison for manslaughter – has warned Eastman's elation in his new-found freedom will quickly evaporate as he readjusts to life on the outside.
A Canberra court on Friday ordered Eastman's conviction for the 1989 murder of ACT police chief Colin Winchester be quashed.

I got a sample of this toothpaste and tried it. I love it and so does my husband. I was having trouble with my gums swelling and hurting quite often. Since I have been using this toothpaste I haven't had a problem with swelling gums. The taste is also very pleasant. Have bought this again and will continue to use it.
Will use forever!

I agree - actually does taste more like anise than cinnamon, but after one tube, will never go back to mint - also agree with another reviewer in that the nice taste makes you want to spend more time on the brushing. A little steep, but don't need to use much.

But if you take a tip from the gorgeous Louise Maniscalco, 23, and mix up textures then you'll be on the right track. Sombre colour palette + a wild combination of faux fur (her vintage coat), leather (also vintage!), marl tee (T by Alexander Wang), silky open blouse (Zambesi) AND great wedge boots from Opening Ceremony.

Full disclosure; I didn't think Mike Dunlap deserved to be fired. But, I also didn't think he should have been hired in the first place. My reason was simple: lack of experience in the NBA game.
Multiple reports indicate the Cats are hiring Lakers Assistant Steve Clifford. His strengths are said to be Defense and Player Development. These are the exact same things that were said to be Dunlap's areas of expertise. The difference is Clifford is a longtime NBA Assistant. He understands the game and the pro players.
Heck, he understands Dwight Howard so well that he was hired as an assistant by Mike Brown in LA because he coached him with some success as an assistant in Orlando.
He comes from the Jeff and Stan Van Gundy coaching trees. That means he knows defense. And if you look at two small market teams who have been built into contenders (Indiana and Memphis), defense might not be a bad way to do it. They are the top two defensive efficiency teams in the NBA and are in the Final Four of the league. When you can't get big time players as free agents, team defense is a good way to become a contender.
He seems like he is the type of guy we should have hired last year. But, now we have to get him some players. I am pretty sure Phil Jackson couldn't win with this lineup.
He is tight with Dwight Howard. Hmmmm.
