Hill's career-high paces Lady Saints
By staff reports
DAHLONEGA - For the third straight week, Mimi Hill set a new career high in points.
This time, the junior forward from Gainesville eclipsed the 40-point mark as she led all scorers with 41 points as the North Georgia women's basketball team collected a 73-67 Peach Belt Conference West Division win over Young Harris College.
Hill recorded a double-double, her third of the season, as she also brought down 10 rebounds, five on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. Hill ended the game 15-of-28 from the field and was perfect from both three-point range and the free throw line as she hit four treys and seven free throws.
Both Hill and Stephanie Huffman played all 40 minutes of the game with freshmen Keeley Chester and Molly Rainwater also logging significant minutes with 37 by Chester and 38 by Rainwater. Chester was second on the team in scoring with 13 points while Rainwater ended the game with three three-pointers for nine points.
The Lady Saints (10-14, 8-9 PBC) ended the game shooting 40.3% (25-62) from the field with the Saints' 25 made field goals matching the Mountain Lions (13-11, 7-10 PBC) in made field goals.
Young Harris was slightly more efficient with a 42.4% (25-59) completion percentage in the game, but the Saints hit 10 of their 22 (45.5%) three-pointers and didn't miss a free throw until late into the game.
Lauren Smith led the way for Young Harris in scoring with 21 points as she went 8-17 from the field, but 0-4 from three-point range. Peyton Robertson was the second-leading scorer for Young Harris with 14 points.
In front of the loudest crowd the Saints have hosted all season, North Georgia jumped out to a 9-0 lead in the opening two minutes of play with Hill scoring four and Huffman recording all five of her points in the opening run.
Young Harris answered with eight unanswered points to cut into the lead, but wouldn't taste the lead until Smith hit a pair of free throws with 8:52 remaining in the opening half of play to edge Young Harris ahead 19-18.
The score was tied seven times in the first half, including 32-32 when the halftime buzzer sounded. Hill scored 20 of her 41 points in the opening half of play.
The Mountain Lions were able to score the first four points of the second half and used that to establish a five-point lead four minutes in (40-35). But the Saints fed off the high energy from the near capacity crowd and took the lead back for good when Hill hit a three-pointer at the 12:03 mark, putting the Saints up 48-47.
From there, the Saints never let the Mountain Lions pull closer than that one.
North Georgia has one final home game left in the regular season. The Saints will welcome PBC East foe Lander University to Memorial Hall Gymnasium on Saturday, Feb. 23 for a 2:30 p.m. game.

Human Remains Found in Search for Missing UVA Student Hannah Graham
Human remains have been found in the search for missing Hannah Graham. The remains were found at approximately noon today, when a team of volunteers with the Chesterfield County, VA, Sheriff's Office was searching an abandoned property along Old Lynchburg Road in southern Albemarle County. 18 year old Hannah Graham went missing on September 13 and was last seen with Jesse Matthew, who was arrested last month and eventually charged with abduction with intent to defile.
Albemarle County Police, City of Charlottesville Police and Virginia State Police spent the afternoon preserving the scene and processing evidence, police said.
The remains will be transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Richmond for examination, autopsy and identification.
Authorities looking for Hannah Graham found human remains Saturday on an abandoned property eight miles from where the University of Virginia student was last seen five weeks ago, police said
Chesterfield County Sheriff's Department members participating in the search made the discovery before noon in southern Albemarle County in central Virginia, according to Charlottesville Police Chief Timothy Longo.
Shortly thereafter, a detective relayed the news to Graham's parents.
"These are human remains and forensic tests need to be conducted to determine the identification…," Longo told reporters. "But nonetheless we wanted to be quick and timely to share that information with the Graham family."

One Pilot Missing After Two U.S. Fighter Jets Collide Over Pacific Ocean
One pilot is missing, after two F/A-18 Hornets collided over the Pacific Ocean. One pilot was found and returned to the USS Carl Vinson. There is currently a search mission taking place to locate the missing pilot. Both jets were assigned to the Carl Vinson, on its way to the Persian Gulf to relieve the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush. The incident is under investigation.
Two American fighter jets collided over the Pacific Ocean and crashed Friday, and one pilot was still missing, the Navy said. The jets, both F/A-18 Hornets, had not been recovered. One pilot was found and returned to the USS Carl Vinson, the Navy said. A cruiser, a destroyer and helicopters were searching the western Pacific for the second pilot.
ABC News: 2 Navy Fighter Jets Crash in Western Pacific.
The two carriers from the carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) crashed at 5:40 p.m. local time, according to the Navy's Seventh Fleet. The carrier is operating in an area off Guam.
"One pilot was rapidly located and returned to Carl Vinson, and is currently receiving medical attention," it said in a statement. "Search efforts continue for the second pilot."
The F/A-18 fighter has a single-seater version, as well as a double-seater variant. The aircraft involved in this incident were single-seater F/A-18Cs.
UPDATE I: Navy Ends Search for Missing Pilot in Western Pacific.
The Navy has ended an extensive search for a missing fighter pilot aboard one of two F/A-18C jets that apparently collided Friday over the western Pacific. The missing pilot is presumed to be deceased.
The Navy's Seventh Fleet issued a statement saying it had ended its search and rescue efforts for the missing pilot 36 hours after the planes had crashed into the ocean 250 nautical miles off the coast of Wake Island.

Texas EquuSearch Sues FAA in Federal Court Challenge Agency's Order to Stop Using Drones in Searching for Missing Persons
Since when is a non-profit considered commercial use?
Texas Equusearch has sued the Federal Aviation Administration in federal court to challenge the FAA's order to stop using unmanned drones in the search for missing persons. Texas Equusearch, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, has been tirelessly been searching for missing persons for years and been using unmanned planes, drones, if you will since 2006. So once again we have federal government interference in the search for missing loved ones. I am sure this is what our Founding Father's had in mind. Sorry, but I happen to think there is a huge difference between a non-profit organization searching for missing persons as compared to Amazon delivering packages.
Click HERE or on pic to watch VIDEO – pic screen grab from Houston Chronicle video
A Texas group sued the Federal Aviation Administration in federal court to challenge the agency's order to stop using drones in the group's searches for missing people, the latest round in an intensifying battle over regulation of the sector.
Search-and-rescue organization Texas EquuSearch, which has used unmanned aircraft to help search for missing people since 2006, asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit to set aside the FAA's order to halt its use of drones. The group argued in a five-page petition filed on Monday that the FAA's order has no legal basis and "is unlawful, arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion and not otherwise in accordance with law."
The FAA said it is reviewing the suit. The agency suggested in an email that Texas EquuSearch could work with public entities that hold FAA authorizations to use drones, such as some police departments, and obtain emergency authorizations to conduct its searches.
The FAA has effectively banned the commercial use of unmanned aircraft in the continental U.S. It says the limit is needed to protect air safety, at least until the agency sets full rules for the devices—now expected by late 2015 at the earliest.
Is the federal government more concerned with its overreaching authority or helping the families of missing loved ones?
Tim Miller, founder and director of EquuSearch, said the Feb. 21 Federal Aviation Administration order prohibiting the operation of four drones has meant the nonprofit organization has not used them in three active searches for missing people in Katy, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
Miller said the 4-foot-long drones have led to the discovery of 11 missing individuals and allow searchers to view large stretches of wooded areas, fenced property and bodies of water.
"I was hoping we'd get a response from them that was more positive and we didn't have to go to this extreme," Miller said of the FAA. "It's time-consuming for us, and God only knows what the outcome is going to be."
Brendan Schulman, a New York attorney representing Texas EquuSearch, said the lawsuit seeks to confirm the rights of nonprofits to use civilian drone technology for the nation's benefit.

Chinese Search Ship Discovers Pulse Signal (Ping) in Indian Ocean … Could it Be the Black Box of Missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370
Could this finally be the break that searchers needed to find Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
A Chinese patrol ship, Haixun 01, searching for the missing Malaysian passenger jet MH370 has detected a pulse signal or ping with a frequency of 37.5kHz per second in southern Indian Ocean waters Saturday. This is the similar frequency to that of the pinging emitted by a planes black box. The black box detector deployed by the Haixun 01 picked up the signal at around 25 degrees south latitude and 101 degrees east longitude. However, it is yet to be verified whether this new discovery is related to missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.
Also on Saturday, a Chinese air force plane searching for missing Malaysian passenger jet MH370 spotted a number of white floating objects in the search area.
In what may turn out to be a major breakthrough in the month long search for Malaysia Airlines flight 370, a Chinese patrol ship searching the southern Indian Ocean discovered Saturday the pulse signal used by so-called black boxes, state news agency Xinhua reported.
But the pulse signal has not been confirmed, China's Maritime Search and Rescue Center reported, according to China Communications News, which is the Ministry of Transport's official newspaper.
Xinhua said a detector deployed by the Haixun 01 patrol ship picked up the signal around 25 degrees south latitude and 101 degrees east longitude. "It is yet to be established whether it is related to the missing jet," it said.
"It's not the prime search area, but it's not out of the question that this could possibly be from the black box," said David Gallo, who is with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
UPDATE I: Washington Post – Chinese ship hears pulse, possibly from missing Malaysia Airlines flight's black box.
China's state-run Xinhua news agency, which has a reporter aboard the Haixun 01 ship, reported that a black box locator heard the signal Saturday at around 25 degrees south latitude and 101 degrees east longitude — broadly in the same area where the search effort has been concentrated in recent weeks, in the Indian Ocean around 1,000 miles northwest of the Australian city of Perth.
The signal was measured at a frequency of 37.5 kilohertz and was repeating at one-second intervals, Xinhua reported.
Anish Patel, president of Florida-based pinger manufacturer Dukane Seacom, told CNN that was the correct frequency for the two emergency location beacons that are built into the plane's black box flight data recorder and its cockpit voice recorder. He added that it was not a frequency that "readily occurs in nature."

An AMBER ALERT was issued for Relisha Rudd on March 8, 2014; however, 8 year old Relisha Rudd has been missing since February 26, 2014 in Washington, DC. She was last seen Feb. 26 at the D.C. Shelter for Families on the grounds of the old D.C. General Hospital in Southeast. Relisha is believed to be in the company of Kahlil Tatum, who works as a janitor at the shelter. According to the Relisha's mother's fiance, Antonio Wheeler, the mom gave permission to Khalil Tatum, a janitor at the shelter, to take her daughter. Relisha had been missing since late February, but here disappearance was only brought to the attention of police on Wednesday when officials with D.C. Public Schools realized she hadn't been showing up for class. Better late than never, I guess. Relisha is described as a black female, standing 4 feet tall and weighing between 70 and 80 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and a medium complexion.
Police were searching a homeless shelter next to a Washington, D.C., jail Thursday after missing 8-year-old Relisha Rudd's mother was taken away.
The mother's fiance said the woman gave permission to Khalil Tatum, a janitor at the shelter, to take her daughter.
"She said she is at Mr. Tatum's house she's good," said Antonio Wheeler, fiance. "I seen Mr. Tatum today and he said he would bring my daughter back."
Wheeler said he asked Tatum again later.
"I asked him, he said, 'She is my house… would bring her back when I get off work today,'" Wheeler said.
That never happened, Wheeler said.
Authorities released surveillance footage of Tatum and Relisha taken on Feb. 26 at the Holiday Inn Express located at 1917 Bladensburg Road in Northeast D.C.
The search for Kahlil Tatum led to the Red Roof Inn in Oxon Hill. Upon further room to room searches at the hotel, the body of 51 year old Andrea Denise Tatum, the wife of Kahlil Malik Tatum, was found dead. An arrest warrant has been issued for Kahil Tatum for the murder of his wife. The police believe Relisha Rudd is traveling with Kahlil Tatum, who may be armed and dangerous, either on foot or in a different vehicle.
Since Relisha Rudd has disappeared and the events that followed, according to Shamika Young, the mother of missing Relisha, DC Child and Family Services have taken custody of her other children three children, ages 7, 5 and 4.

A man has been charged with killing his wife and may be traveling with an 8-year-old D.C. girl who has been missing for more than three weeks, authorities said.
Prince George's County Police have obtained an arrest warrant charging Kahlil Malik Tatum, 51, of Southeast Washington with murder in the death of his wife, Andrea Denise Tatum, the police department said in a news release.
The body of Andrea Tatum, 51, was found Thursday in a motel room in Oxon Hill, where Prince George's County officers had gone to assist the Metropolitan Police Department in its search for Relisha Tenau Rudd, who was reporting missing earlier in the week.

UPDATE II: Search for missing Relisha Rudd intensifies to area of area of Kenilworth Park. … Kahlil Malik Tatum May Have Killed Relisha Rudd.
"We're not making any assumptions, but I think it'd be prudent for us at this time to make sure we've searched – and this is a very large area – searched this area very well," said D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier. "We cannot ignore the possibility that he may have killed her."
The search of the aquatic gardens area of Kenilworth Park was prompted by evidence the man, identified as Kahlil Malik Tatum, 51, spent time there after the last credible sighting of Relisha Tenau Rudd, 8, on March 1.
"On March 2, we know that Mr. Tatum purchased, among other items, a carton of black, 42 gallon, self-tie contractor trash bags within the District of Columbia," Lanier said at a news conference near the search area. "Not long after that purchase, Mr. Tatum was in the area of the aquatic gardens for a period of time."
UPDATE III: Dive Teams Search the Waters of Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens.
D.C. police spokesman Hugh Carew said dive teams were searching the Anacostia River in the 700-acre park in Northeast Washington, DC.
The search for missing 8-year-old girl Relisha Rudd resumed Saturday, with dive teams continuing to sift through the waters of Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens for possible remains.
The search for Relisha, last seen alive on March 1, enters day three at the heavily wooded park in Northeast Washington.
It began with a foot search Thursday, after authorities discovered Kahlil Malik Tatum, the man suspected of abducting Relisha, spent more than two hours in that area shortly after purchasing a number of 42-gallon contractor style garbage bags, a shovel and lime on March 2.
Police ask anyone with information on Relisha's whereabouts to call the Metropolitan Police Department at 202-727-9099, the Youth Investigations Division at 202-576-6768, or 911.

Could the Skeletal Remains Found in Central Florida While Search for Yessenia Suarez & Her Children Be that of Missing Jennifer Kesse, Tracy Ocasio or Michelle Parker
Could this be a break for families of missing loved ones?
Skeletal remains were found in a wooded area near State Road 417 over the weekend as police searched for missing mom Yessenia Suarez and her two children. However, it was determined that the remains were not those of the mom and her children as they had been there too long. The three had just gone missing on October 23, 2013. So who did authorities find? As the Orlando Sentinel reports, such a discovery brings both hope and anxious moments to the Florida families of missing loved ones like Jennifer Kessee, Tracy Ocasio and Michelle Parker. Drew Kesse, the father of missing Jennifer contacted authorities after reading the story of the discovery to inquire whether it might be his daughter. as Drew said, "I simply wait. One of these times, it's going to be Tracy. It's going to be Jennifer. It has to be." God Bless these parents of missing children and let them have some solace, peace and closure.
Jennifer Kesse
Tracy Ocasio
Michelle Parker
"You don't want to get your hopes up because it hurts too much when the answer is negative," said Elizabeth Ocasio, whose daughter Tracy vanished in 2009 after leaving a bar with James Hataway, whom she met a few weeks before.
Detectives later found Tracy Ocasio's car near Hataway's home in Ocoee. Police have said Hataway is the only suspect in the 27-year-old's disappearance. He was subsequently sentenced to life in prison for the attempted murder of another woman.
Ocasio is one of several women missing in Central Florida in cases where authorities suspect foul play.
Jennifer Kesse disappeared from her condo near Mall at Millenia in 2006. Orlando police found her car about a mile away, and detectives have said they think the 24-year-old was abducted.
Michelle Parker, a mother of three, vanished in November 2011 after dropping off her young twins with her ex-fiancé, Dale Smith. Orlando police said Smith is the only suspect in the case, but he has not been charged in connection with Parker's disappearance.
Say a prayer for all of these families that they may find answers and peace.

A Central Texas couple's pet named Sushi disappeared two years ago during wildfires but the feline recently returned.
The Austin American-Statesman reported Monday that Doug Maitland and Sharen Armstrong-Maitland of Cedar Creek were surprised when Sushi showed up. The couple evacuated during September 2011 wildfires and Sushi disappeared amid the commotion.
Maitland says he was on a ladder painting his house when he noticed a familiar skinny kitty in some weeds.
Sushi, who was spayed years ago, joined two orphaned cats adopted by the couple since the fires.
A black kitten turned up on the front porch a few days after Sushi returned. Armstrong-Maitland believes Sushi watched over the kitten in the wild and brought the little one along.
The couple named the kitten Ninja.

Any information how many copies there will be available at Essen 2011?

Any information how many copies there will be available at Essen 2011?
Posted 22 September 2011 - 11:14 PM
My guess would, sadly, be none. I base the guess on the fact that it has only been marked as "at the printer" for 8 days. and one month seems a bit tight to get enough copies ready to me. The latter I base on the fact that Rex has been "at the printer" for one month today and if I recall correctly Rex got announced earlier than the Civ expansion.
I might very well be terribly wrong, too. They might rush a bunch of copies just to have some ready for Essen. At least I hope so.
It would be more probable that they'll only have one or two showpieces for trial plays with the new nations though.
I better get started on that christmas wishing list....

Global insurance leaders gear up for INSUREX 2011
Policy magazine, the voice of Middle East insurance, published by Mediaquest Corp., is set to host the 8th Middle East INSUREX 2011, one of the leading forums for principal players and regulators in the insurance industry, which will be organised under the patronage of Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai, Minister of Finance and Industry, UAE.
September 13, 2011 2:40 by kippreport
The two-day summit and awards will take place October 25 and 26 at The Address, Dubai Marina.
Bringing together over 300 regional and global experts, the conference will address a range of strategic and operational concerns and will cover a variety of critical topics creating an open platform for discussion, information sharing and networking.
Programme highlights across the two-day forum will include panel discussions on a variety of topics such as: private pension provision and reformation of the market to create multi-pillar pension provision; regulatory challenges and the need for risk-based prudential regulation and mandatory healthcare insurance framework; the challenges to the healthcare industry in MENA region, healthcare Vs managed care challenges; and speech sessions on topics such as technology and growth strategy.
An exhaustive UAE insurance industry report will be released at the conference. The report will shed light on who performed well in the wake of the recession and will look critically at the insurance industry which is set for consolidation, mergers, acquisitions and stricter regulations across the board.
"INSUREX 2011 will welcome regulators, top insurance industry professionals, brokers, analysts from consulting majors and media men, to engage in critical debate on issues that will shape the future of the insurance industry. We would also like to thank our sponsors who include; The National Health Insurance Company (Daman); Arab RE, Aetna Global Benefits; Dubai Islamic Insurance and Reinsurance Company (Aman); and AXA Insurance," said Alexandre Hawari, co-CEO of Mediaquest Corp (pictured top).
To add to excitement, the event will be complemented by the coveted Insurex Awards 2011. Recognizing excellence across 15 categories, the awards are independently judged by an international panel of experts and are open to all registered companies within the GCC, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iran. The Achievement Award of the Year is a special award which is judged independently and it will be presented to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to the success of the insurance industry.
As the voice of Middle East Insurance, POLICY magazine is committed to raising the profile of the industry and flying the flag for outstanding achievement and success across the profession as well as providing a stimulating forum for insurance professionals to get ahead in their game.

South Australian based guitarist Doobie Whitehorn has honed his skills as a professional musician for nearly 30 years. From his electric live performances drawn from years of touring Australia with an impressive list of bands, to his songwriting and studio skills learnt from working with some of the best. This exciting combination has led to the realization of a project that Doobie's fans have been wanting for a long time, his first solo album.
Being talked into doing this Album wasn't hard (over a couple of bourbons with a young metal band) and this seemed like a reasonable request, but to make it a bit more challenging Doobie decided to play everything live himself and record it in his own studio while it was still being built. The result is Touché, the first ever release of material with Doobie as the only musician.
3 years of work and the Album nearly completed saw the process interrupted when on the way to a gig Doobie was innocently involved in a near fatal high speed car accident. 12 more months would pass while recovering but finally in late 2009 the much anticipated Album Touché was released to the public and people had their first listen to what is a unique musical insight into the man that is Doobie Whitehorn.

Alcoholic denied liver transplant, dead at 22
A double header on organ transplants: see this post on legalizing organ sales. This article notes the precedent setting case of a 22 year old alcoholic being denied a transplant and left to die – attributed to the severe shortage or available organs in Britain. If organ sales were legal, this fellow would have had his second chance at life: right or wrong?
Do we take pride in our society's ability to offer second chances? Or wield a harsh and deadly sword call pragmatism?
"The NHS Blood and Transplant service said Mr Reinbach's case highlighted the dilemma faced by doctors because of a shortage of donated organs."
"He was admitted to a London hospital in May but died after doctors refused to give him a liver transplant amid fears he would not stay sober for six months after the operation."
"They told him to stop smoking and he did. They told him to stay in bed and he did. All he wanted to do was prove that he was serious, and that he wouldn't drink again."

Legalizing organ sales: one way to reduce waiting lists
UPDATE: Also see this follow-up post on a 22 year old alcoholic denied a transplant and now dead.
Doctors proposing that selling your organs need not be illegal: This article will make you think. It tells the story of a somewhat schizophrenic homeless American man, recruited to sell a kidney in Houston, and along the way provides a great summary of some of the ethical issues around organ sales, and suggests that there's a growing liberalization of thinking around the issue.
I'm not advocating this – just hoping to generate some discussion. I've been getting some vocal free market comments recently, so how about it? Should the free market extend to organ sales? What if it were government sponsored and regulated, and served a social agenda (see excerpts below)?
This article is also a harrowing tale of homelessness. Lots to talk about here.
"…chronic kidney disease has become an epidemic. The waiting list for kidney transplants in the United States has reached 78,000, and about a third of the people on it will die before they get one. The average wait is now three to five years." [Houston Press, Page 3]
"Dr. Benjamin Hippen, a nephrologist [kidney specialist]… believes… that the vast unmet demand for kidneys in rich countries creates black markets for them in poor ones. He became involved … to address the specter of transplant tourism." [Houston Press, Page 3]
How about non-cash compensation?
"…Hippen suggests nontransferable, nonmonetary forms of government compensation that, as he puts it, 'demonstrate the type of respect for a person selling their kidney that tossing a couple of bucks on the ground doesn't.' These could be anything from pension plans to lifelong health care. He says pilot projects are the best way to determine what, if anything, works best. Late last year, Republican Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania sponsored a bill that would amend the 1984 law against compensation to allow for exactly that." [Houston Press, Page 3]
Obama sums it up: when his father, Barack Obama Sr., came to the United States from Kenya, Kenya's GDP was higher than Korea's.
"Obviously much has happened since then and he wanted to make it clear that the problems that Africans face weren't just a product of colonialism or past history," Froman said, "that this partnership — whether it's over food security or other development ideas — require local governments to take responsibility seriously. This wasn't a time to make excuses. And that it was important to join together in a clear-eyed way."
As the president put it, Froman went on, "his cousin in Kenya cant find a job without paying a bribe, and that's not the fault of the G-8. And when companies can't operate without paying, in some parts of Africa, without paying the 25 percent fee off the top in bribes, that's not colonialism."
Scary Fundamentalist pegs the Burka Debate
Wow – an excellent, well-reasoned post on Burkas, human rights, religious freedom, and politician's duties on matters of this nature:
Edit: I shared Scary's post on Reddit, which is always seems to stir up good debate.
There are many arguments in support of banning the burka that, at first blush, are convincing. The burka is not proscribed by the Koran or mainstream Islam. Many consider the garment to be symbolic of oppression; the woman within has no identity, no contact with the outside world. Some call it a "prison", enslaving its wearer to her husband. These are an affront to the values of Western nations, Canada included.
None of these arguments, though, present a transgression of recognized human rights as long as burka fashion is voluntary. In other words, if someone wants to wear it, why shouldn't she (or even he) be allowed to? More importantly, if someone truly feels that they have a religious duty to wear it, then we also risk trampling on another freedom, that of religion…
…Sarkozy has the right to condemn the Burka, even when speaking as the representative of the French people. I would even argue that he has the duty, since a vast majority find the practice to be repulsive. He should not, however, seek to use the powers of the state to compel women to dress a certain way in public, contrary to their religious beliefs…
…For that would be forcibly taking these women from the only prison they know, and in the process subjecting all of us to a bigger prison – that of the nanny-state.
Small Government vs. Smart Government: The New Conservatism
In a comment I made on yesterday's "Banning Bottled Water" post, CWTF challenged my thinking on the Nanny State aspects of policy of this nature. In responding, I was finally able to elucidate why I think policy like banning bottled water is inherently conservative: I see something like banning bottled water as "conservative" because it uses a simple policy tweak today to offset a future policy nightmare (environmental degradation).
I'm thoroughly against the nanny state. But – I'm aslo for effective, lightweight policy making to achieve meaningful social goals that the market might otherwise disregard.
The bottom line is that the to-the-consumer cost of bottled water will never adequately reflect the externalities that stem from its production, transportation, and disposal of waste – thus an opportunity for policy. Similar situation with catalytic converters on cars, or low flow shower heads.
I know that policy-making that restricts choice doesn't comfortably fit into small-c conservative ideology, but as I've noted elsewhere, I'd argue that were at the juncture where "conservatism" needs to replace small government with smart government that serves conservative goals better in the longer term.
That is to say, I see something like banning bottled water as inherently conservative because it uses a simple policy tweak today to offset a future policy nightmare (environmental degradation).
Easter Island and Canadian Healthcare Policy
The health research world is a-twitter today about the longevity boosting effects of a compound called Rapamycin. Hailing from the soil of Easter Island, Rapamycin significantly extends the lifespan of mice, and may do the same for humans. I imagine happenstance discoveries like this to be the tip of the iceberg for radical longevity therapies.
Which makes me wonder: how does our society and social infrastructure cope when, for example, people don't retire until they are 80? Or when the retirement-to-death duration starts increasing by decades? I know from my studies of life insurance that rates, funding levels, etc. take into account a certain expectation of increasing longevity, but that expectation is based on the relatively conservative gains of the last few decades. Will the social net, financial, and healthcare industries be blindsided by science? Is there anyone in government thinking about these things?
Banning Bottled Water: Bundanoon leads the way
The small town of Bundanoon, Australia, has set a great policy precedent, banning bottled water within the town. Its not just the policy that's great, but the way it was made – with the input of local residents and businesses – and they way in which the polic is being integrated at a municipal level – the ban is accompanied by the installation of water fountains. Green, progressive, community driven – great.

The quality of this little table is really good. It's solid, sturdy and not flimsy at all. I was pleasantly surprised - sometimes things are hit and miss with furniture from overstock. It's the perfect size for 2 and very attractive. Shipping and delivery were fast and you can't beat that shipping rate! We're very satisfied.
I received my table, and what a pleasurable surprise. It is lovely and met the need I had for a smaller table in my kitchen. It's well constructed and I expect it to last for many years.
For fun I timed myself putting it together...I am a 60 year old woman and not handy...I did it from opening the box to dusting the finished table in 20 min. I did have the advantage of a battery operated screwdriver and a hammer and an awl to make some starter holes that were just indentations on the piece. It is a great looking little table.
Really like this table. Very sturdy and strong as was simple to assemble.
I am very pleased with this little table. It assembled easily and does not wobble or shake. It is a perfect size for my small area and the leaf adds extra table top space when needed. Its simple design is great as it blends in well with the rest of my room.
This table is poorly made. The holes for the hinges weren't in the right place. The drop leaf didn't match the table. There was writing on the table.
It is a nice and beautiful table. It�s not so easy to assemble but with the rights tools and I little of patience you can do it. You will need at least one screwdriver. The painter is a little weak. But it is a nice table and works good with you just need beautiful furniture that does not last long.
This table is the perfect size, shape, and color for our little kitchen. It's very well made for the price, which is very inexpensive. Extended leaf is not as sturdy as the rest of the table--it gives a bit if leaned on, but it's plenty sturdy enough to support a third place setting. The table looks like it does on the O website. It was simple to assemble once we had all the hardware. I'd recommend this table to anyone it appeals to, but only if they are prepared for possible delays and other problems. The first time this table was shipped, it arrived without any of its hardware. Also, one of its legs looked like a beaver had tried to take a chomp out of it. The table comes with instructions to phone the manufacturer if there's a problem with the table. Don't do that. Phone Overstock and they'll take care of getting you what you ordered and expected. Maybe partly because of the trouble it was to get it, every time I see this table I'm extra glad to have it.
Great little table for my small breakfast nook. The table came in quickly and without any blemishes. Its a good solid table.
I was looking for a table no more than 36" square for our kitchen. This table fits perfect. It was very easy to assembly with pre-drilled holes. The table is well made and sturdy. Just what I wanted.

December 21, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Tennessee Board of Education has voted to approve contentious new rules on teacher licensure while delaying implementation until 2015.
Many teachers oppose the changes because they tie licensure to student test data.
Currently, professional teaching licenses are renewed for 10 years without regard to teacher effectiveness.
At a Friday board meeting, Chairman Fielding Rolston acknowledged that the changes are controversial. He proposed approving the changes but delaying their implementation in order to give the board time to hear concerns and make changes.
Several board members opposed the motion, saying they did not want to vote for a policy that contained elements they did not support.
After extended discussion, the motion passed 6-3.

Lane Brody
Lane Brody is an American female singer-songwriter, active since the early 1980s, best known for her 1984 Billboard-topping country hit, "The Yellow Rose" (a duet with country music singer Johnny Lee), and for the Oscar nominated song "Over You" from the film "Tender Mercies". She is the first female in country music to have an Oscar-nominated hit from a soundtrack album. Besides "The Yellow Rose", Brody has eleven other chart singles on the country charts. Brody was born Lynn Voorlas on September 24, 1955 in Oak Park, Illinois, but calls Racine, Wisconsin her hometown. She graduated from Horlick High School in 1969. She started her music career by singing commercial jingles for many popular TV and radio commercials. In 1982 she co-wrote Anne Murray's top 30 hit "The Hottest Night of the Year" with fellow songwriters Thomas Campbell and Kerry Chatter. Soon afterward, she began charting her own singles, including the No. 15 country hit "Over You", although none was ever included on an album. Brody and Johnny Lee wrote lyrics to and recorded the theme music for the 1983-1984 NBC television show, "The Yellow Rose". The theme song of the same name became a No. 1 hit on the U.S. country  ( Wikipedia article )

The US system is funded by war profiteers. It's totally bought out by these big corporations who benefit greatly from Pentagon contracts. They make money from war. So they're going to fund war candidates. The US election is basically a referendum on this very corrupt system that promotes banking frauds and endless war."
Vietnamese-American writer, poet and political analyst Linh Dinh
"For example, [former US President George W.] Bush, in attacking Iraq pretended that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction whereas Obama just goes ahead and orders a bombing strike on Libya and now he is attacking Syria through his proxies. So he has gotten progressively worse."

There is no doubt that Palestinian incitement led to the recent terror attack on a Jerusalem synagogue.
Just as Israelis were starting to think Abbas was the man to deal with, he alienated them at the UN.
As recent events have shown, the Palestinian leader's real objective has been to harness his cause to the wave of popular uprisings that has been sweeping the Arab world
U.S. secretary of state touches off a tsunami of criticism with his suggestion Israel could become an apartheid state
Both the Israelis and Palestinians believe that delaying a final agreement will benefit their side more than the other
There never was any chance of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas concluding a final peace, but that hasn't stopped Washington from frantic efforts to keep fruitless talks alive.
Harper expressed optimism in his speech to the Israeli parliament that a Palestinian state will emerge, but there has been little evidence on this trip of the leadership to do it
In a new book, Jonathan Schanzer traces the troubled evolution of the Palestinian Authority
With Netanyahu and Abbas demonstrating a willingness to press ahead over objections from their own constituencies, there remains reason for hope
Any peace plan that marries Palestinian statehood to Israeli security will automatically solve the settlement issue.
Israel plans to develop a 12 square-kilometer area of land known as E1 will constitute a crossing of the proverbial Rubicon — the point of no return which Julius Caesar marked with the words "alea iacta est", the die is cast.
If Israel builds settlements on the patch of West Bank land known as E1, any pretense of creating a viable, contiguous Palestinian state will be destroyed
Thursday's vote in the UN General Assembly to grant nonmember observer status to the Palestinians sets off rapture in Ramallah and unease elsewhere
The Palestinian people have failed miserably to indicate how quasi-sovereignty would benefit anyone, who has a stake in Gaza's potential as an independent flourishing nation.
The Palestinian leader has renounced terrorism and speaks of co-existence with Israel. That's a start.
Israel and its allies must be careful in the message they send as they protect Israel's right to security.
Insofar as a two-state solution is the goal, it will never be achieved so long as Palestinians have no cards to play. And I would prefer that those cards take the form of UN resolutions instead of Iranian-supplied missiles
The vote on greater Palestinian recognition at the UN will only undermine hopes of formal statehood down the road.
Despite the uneven death toll and destruction of its weapons caches, Hamas is being portrayed as the victor, along with new power broker Mohammed Morsi of Egypt (who promptly awarded himself new dictatorial powers)
Mahmoud Abbas set the cat among the pigeons when he voiced the unthinkable: Palestinians might not have the right of return to Israel

A year ago, Rob Waters asked his mortgage lender for reduced payments because he'd been laid off.
The Concord man, who is 47 and the divorced father of two sons, made his career in the jewelry industry and has the upbeat nature of a salesman. In January 2009, the downturn claimed his job with a high-end SouthPark store. He landed another with a jewelry shop in Rock Hill, but at less than half his previous pay.
In October, Bank of America gave Waters a trial modification, reducing his payment by more than 40 percent, to $774.
In late March, he received a letter from the bank, acknowledging receipt of his documents and his request for a modification. That month, he was laid off again. He quickly landed a part-time job with a chain jeweler, and he's collecting unemployment.
In April, he made his sixth trial payment, according to check copies he provided the Observer. Trials are supposed to last three months, typically ending with either a long-term modification or rejection.
Later in April, the bank told him he was denied because he hadn't provided documents. That was about a month after the letter saying his information had been received. The bank suggested he re-apply.
"This is like an endless déjà vu of hell," Waters said.
He bought his house in 1999 for $187,000 with a 10 percent down payment. Amid sleepless nights and bouts of worry, he's been tempted to just let his house go. But it's not his way.
He's reapplied for a modification. Without it, he's probably facing foreclosure.
The bank has told him it might take up to 45 days to review his new application.
"I'm thinking, 'Ha, ha,'" he said. "I've been through all this before."

"I like the name Snipers cause it's a cool, concise name. It felt right. I'm taking this glassed in room in the gallery and making it into like a creepy arcade/club. It's like when you used to go to Blockbuster with your parents, it would be all bright and nice, but then you can also walk through these curtains into the creep spot, full of porno. So I'm making a creep haven full of sounds and jams from the Ghost Of Jose El Rey, and unreleased tracks from his archives."

Q - What are Catholic teachings on the Holy Grail?
A - Thanks for the question. There is no official Catholic teaching on the Holy Grail. First of all, the legends about it don't even agree as to what the Holy Grail is. Some say it is a chalice used at the Last Supper, while others say it is a ciboria. Still others say it is the platter that the paschal lamb was on when Jesus ate the passover meal with his apostles. Yet all of them agree it is supposed to be the vessel that held the blood of Christ.
Most of the legends have Joseph of Arimathea as the central character and many of the legends have him bringing the Holy Grail to England, others to Spain, and still others have it different locations with different people involved.
The Church has basically ignored the legend, which leads me to believe they are merely legends. While there is nothing preventing a Catholic from believing the legends are true, I don't see too much value in expending too much time or effort in looking deeply into the issue.
For more on this topic you can read the following:

Memorial Day has come and gone, and the humidity is on in New York. On the steamiest of days, what's your favorite frozen treat? This past Sunday, I enjoyed a classic near home — Doc Davis' ice cream in Pepperell, Massachusetts. Then, this week, I splurged again, this time opting for sorbet (one scoop of lime, one scoop of raspberry from Eli's on the Upper East Side). Both are refreshing, and signs of summer, too. :)
Ice cream or sorbet—which one do you prefer? Flavor recommendations? Share them here!
