Here's a link to my full story at spokesman.com on the impact in Idaho of this morning's landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions on same-sex marriage; Idaho's sweeping ban on same-sex marriage and civil unions won't change. However, same-sex couples living in Idaho who were married in other states may qualify for some recognition in federal programs or benefits, depending on how the Obama Administration and Congress react to the rulings.
Meanwhile, supporters of this morning's rulings have scheduled a rally on the state Capitol steps at 4:30.
Here's the latest from the ACLU on how this morning's U.S. Supreme Court rulings could affect same-sex couples living in Idaho who were legally married in other states: It depends. For some federal programs, the ACLU, which brought the case that resulted in the federal Defense of Marriage Act being overturned, says the Obama Administration could decide through regulation to extend recognition. For others, including Social Security benefits, any changes would require an act of Congress.
"Under current law, the federal government typically defers to the states in designating whether a couple's marriage is valid," said Monica Hopkins, Idaho ACLU director. "There's no one rule across all federal programs, as to whether the validity of a marriage is determined by where a couple is living, which is the place of domicile, or where the couple got married, which is the place of celebration. So that's the question there. … . So right now, I would say same-sex couples that reside in Idaho that were legally married in one of the 13 states or D.C. are in a sort of limbo, while they wait for the administration to implement this decision, hopefully swiftly and smoothly, and apply all relevant statutes." Said Hopkins, "Much of the uncertainty can be completely corrected by saying it's the place of celebration."
She added, "We concur with the Attorney General – this doesn't change anything about Idaho's marriage laws. However, DOMA is a different question. … Now the question is up to the Obama Administration." President Obama issued a statement today saying he's directed top officials to review all the relevant statutes and implement the decision "swiftly and smoothly."
Kim Beswick, a high-tech worker from Boise who has two young children with her same-sex partner and has lived in the state for two decades, welcomed the rulings. "Idaho unfortunately isn't leading the way on this issue," she said. "We have the constitutional amendment in place that absolutely forbids not only marriage but any of the individual rights of marriage. … I think these rulings show that's certainly going to be at some point on the wrong side of history." But she said the DOMA ruling could affect her family on everything from end-of-life decisions to federal taxes. "That has a big impact on us in a pretty far-reaching way."
Idaho ACLU Executive Director Monica Hopkins says the U.S. Supreme Court's decision today on the federal Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA, leaves open one question that could affect Idaho: What about same-sex couples who legally married in another state, but now reside in Idaho? Would they be eligible for federal benefits like family medical leave and Social Security survivor benefits?
"There are 1,100 places in federal laws and programs where being married makes a difference," said Hopkins, whose organization brought the DOMA case on behalf of Edie Windsor, an elderly New York resident who was required to pay $363,000 in estate taxes after her same-sex spouse passed away, though the two had been legally married in Canada and the state of New York recognized the Canadian marriage. Windsor wouldn't have owed any estate tax if she'd been married to a man.
"Now what we have to do is kind of untangle what this DOMA decision means," Hopkins said, "because it has federal applications, but what does it mean for Idahoans who were legally married in a state that legally recognizes those marriages, but reside in Idaho?" Hopkins said she'll be participating in a conference call mid-day today with the ACLU's national attorneys to address that and other questions about the decisions.
David Adler, director of the Andrus Center for Public Policy at Boise State University and a constitutional scholar, said, "I think the opinion is unclear on the issue of whether same-sex couples married in another state who move to Idaho are going to be entitled to some federal benefits. I think there's room in the opinion to draw the conclusion that they will be entitled to some benefits, including (federal) tax filings, but it's not immediately clear."
Adler said, "The reasoning in the opinion employed by Justice Kennedy is going to have national implications for the discussion and debate on gay rights and same-sex marriage as it goes forward in this country." He added, "While the immediate opinion does uphold the right of states to determine the status of marriage, the reasoning and the language of that opinion will be used to promote same-sex marriage across the country."
Here's what Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden had to say this morning on the U.S. Supreme Court decisions on same-sex marriage: "There really isn't a direct impact on Idaho law. It's still in effect. … so there really isn't a lot of change there."
He noted that his office is still analyzing the decisions. "We're trying to react to what we've been able to review and read very rapidly," Wasden said. But overall, he said, "My job is to defend the Constitution and the statutes of the state, and those haven't changed."
I am still awaiting word from the experts, but it appears that today's landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions on same-sex marriage won't change anything in Idaho. That's because the decisions defer to states to regulate marriage, even while striking down the federal Defense of Marriage Act, or DOMA. The result is that couples legally married in the 12 states where same-sex marriage is permitted are eligible for federal benefits; a second decision declined to take up an appeal of a California appellate court ruling over that state's Proposition 8. But Idaho has a sweeping constitutional provision banning not only same-sex marriage, but also civil unions.
In 2006, Idaho voters approved HJR 2, an amendment to the state Constitution, with 63.35 percent of voters in favor and 36.65 percent against. The ballot measure asked, "Shall Article III, of the Constitution of the State of Idaho be amended by the addition of a new Section 28, to provide that a marriage between a man and a woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state?" Once it passed, this section was added to Idaho's Constitution:
"Section 28. Marriage. A marriage between a man and a woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state."
The official statement of effect of adoption of the ballot measure said this: "If adopted, the proposed amendment would add language to the Constitution of the State of Idaho to provide that a marriage is only between a man and a woman. The language prohibits recognition by the state of Idaho and its political subdivisions of civil unions, domestic partnerships, or any other relationship that attempts to approximate marriage. The language further prohibits the state and its political subdivisions from granting any or all of the legal benefits of marriage to civil unions, domestic partnerships, or any other relationship that attempts to approximate marriage."

At least 13 people have been killed and another 10 injured in a series of attacks involving explosives-packed cars and suicide bombers in Ramadi, around 100km west of Baghdad.
The attacks began at around 11:30am with three blasts in east Ramadi, Anbar province government spokesman Mohammad Fathi told Al Jazeera.
One car bomb detonated in the parking lot of Anbar's investment committee, killing two people and injuring seven, while a roadside bomb that exploded near the Haq mosque on the main road through the city killed one person and injured three.
Another roadside bomb detonated near the electricity directorate but caused no casualties.
Shortly thereafter, a car bomb exploded near an American-built compound housing a police station and counterterrorism directorate. Six men wearing suicide bomb vests tried to fight their way inside in an attempt to free several "senior" suspects alleged to belong to al-Qaeda in Iraq, Fathi said.
One bomber detonated at the main gate of the compound, killing three guards, a police officer and himself. When the other five men failed to free the prisoners and were driven back to an adjacent building under construction, they detonated their vests one by one until all were dead, Fathi said.
The attacks "could have been a lot worse" but are part of a trend of strikes involving suicide bombers, said Al Jazeera's Jane Arraf, reporting from Baghad.
"There are a lot of vulnerabilities in Ramadi and in the Iraqi security system," she said.

Learning environment
The programme uses a variety of teaching methods – lectures and discussion, group work, class presentations, computer-based international business games and case studies.
In many sessions there will be a mix of discussion, group exercises and case studies, enabling you to engage with theories and concepts and reflect on how these apply in practice. You will have opportunities to make presentations and to work on a variety of group tasks, both assessed and non-assessed.
Lively debate is an important element of the learning process, and the interchange of experience and practice from different countries and cultures is central to discovering more about the complexities of international business. The class size is relatively small, allowing for all class members to be active contributors.
For many International Business students, one of the most memorable and enjoyable parts of the learning process is the World Economic Forum simulation. This group simulation exercise forms part of the core International Business module. Here students are given the task of representing different country interests within the WEF. You prepare intensively for a one-day real-time event, where you negotiate on a range of interests, reacting to changing agenda and responses from other nations.
The wide range of subjects covered – and the topicality of the issues under discussion – means that you will be expected to read widely, both in the academic literature and in the world press. The University library, with its extensive range of books, journals and database resources, is an important starting point, and you are likely also to be using a range of other internet-based resources.

It's easy to talk about delegation--but is it easy to do? "Delegation is very hard to do right," says Susan Leeds, managing director of The Ayers Group Inc., a New York City human resources consulting firm. "Smart delegation takes thought and planning." That means delegation isn't simply sweeping your desk clean and blindly handing off all the tasks on your to-do list. "You need to approach delegation with a plan in mind," says Leeds, who teaches a multistep delegation process to clients. The first step is careful thought about what to delegate.
That's a crucial question, mainly because some tasks should be handled personally. There are tasks that aren't suited to delegation, says Ron Riggio, a psychology professor at Claremont McKenna College's Kravis Leadership Institute in Claremont, California.
What can't you delegate? There's no rule of thumb; let your instincts guide you. You probably wouldn't delegate thinking about the products your company will offer next year, but you might delegate a survey of current customers regarding improvements they'd like to see in your products. Either way, a building block for effective delegation is knowing what tasks are yours and yours alone.
The next step in Leeds' plan is to determine the results you want to achieve. That means not telling employees to make some phone calls about past-due invoices. That's too vague. Instead, be specific. A more defined goal might be to get customers with past-due bills to agree to a payment schedule. Knowing the results you want is your job, not the job of employees to whom you delegate.
Step three is to decide which person is right for the task, says Leeds. A salesperson might not be the right person to make collection calls, but perhaps your bookkeeper is. Either way, match skills and personality to the task--that will maximize productivity.
The fourth step is to decide what controls and checkpoints you'll put on the person to whom you're delegating. How often will the person report back to you? What signal means it's time to shout for help? Get very specific about these steps because that will make delegation work smoothly, both for you and employees.
Fifth, motivate the person to whom you're delegating. If you're handing off important work, you want the subordinate to be fired up to get results. "Link the new job to what motivates that employee," says Leeds. If the employee is there to learn, present the task as a development opportunity. If visibility is important, present it that way. "Make sure what you delegate is appropriate [for the employee]," Leeds says. And sell what you delegate--don't just hand out tasks.
The last step is accountability. "Effective delegation means holding people accountable for the jobs that are assigned to them," Leeds says. A big mistake here is that bosses often expect the employee to fail--and readily take the task back to do themselves. Don't. That's a quick way to undermine employee effectiveness and, in the bargain, guarantee employees will never develop in the ways you need them to if your business is to reach the level you want.

Bengal Chief Minister and Trinamool chief Mamata Banerjee had called up Sushma and sought the BJP�s support for her no-confidence motion, there was no confirmation forthcoming of the same on Monday either. Trinamool general secretary Mukul Roy has denied such a call.
Still the BJP is in no hurry to dismiss the Trinamool, a potential future ally, in a hurry. �We will take a decision on the issue tomorrow,� party spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said on Monday. NDA floor leaders were to meet later in the evening to work out a strategy for the session.
�A no-confidence motion will only help the government cover up all the wrong measures it has taken and claim parliamentary mandate, as it has the numbers to defeat such a motion,� Karat told reporters. �I hope the Opposition will come to an understanding.�
Yechury also said the government could take a win in the no-trust move as an endorsement of its �anti-people� policies. A motion entailing voting to oppose FDI in multi-brand retail would be �a much better strategy to defeat the government�s move�, he said, adding that parties like the SP would support such a motion but not a no-confidence vote.
Interestingly, he indicated that the Left could take a final call on the basis of the �real situation in Parliament�.
�The track record of Trinamool,� he said, �shows that they say one thing but do something else. So, we will have to wait and see.�
Karat rubbished Commerce Minister Anand Sharma�s argument that no executive decision had been challenged by Parliament in Independent India. Terming the argument as �specious�, he said that Lok Sabha records show that on March 1, 2001, Roop Chand Pal had moved such a motion in the House over disinvestment of Balco. The then NDA government had agreed to allow discussion and voting on this executive decision under Rule 184.
�Rule 184 has been invoked to discuss... If Parliament cannot debate a decision that affects 40 million people, what is Parliament for?� he asked.

CONAKRY, Guinea (AP) — Victims' relatives and authorities in West African nation of Guinea say four people are dead following violent demonstrations against an upcoming legislative election.
A cousin said Friday that student Cherif Souleymane Diallo died after being shot by a police officer Friday. A second man, Mamady Camara, who was wounded Thursday by a thrown rock, also died.
A third unidentified man died from a gunshot wound, doctors said. The fourth victim of the protest-related violence was a police officer killed by demonstrators, according to authorities.
Long-delayed legislative elections have been set for June 30, though opposition to the poll date has prompted a series of demonstrations in Guinea's capital.
Guinea went through decades of dictatorship and strongman rule before a landmark 2010 presidential election.

|Help, I am sooo ticked off. I went to one of our "local" nurseries to pick up a few more perennials to fill in where the voles have dined. DH fell in love with the picture on the Morden Pink Loosestrife (he loves the stalk-type flowers) and I double checked with the nursery owner that the info on the tag was correct - it was sterile & non-invasive. I like to read up on all the plants I have & after putting them in the garden I read they are still considered invasive in most of the country 'cause they cross-pollinate with the non-sterile Loosestrife to cause problems. Do I did them up, return them, treat them as annuals & dead head them before they go to seed, or is it NOT a problem in our area/zone just in warmer parts of the country. All the tags indicate they were "grown on LI," so I'm not sure what is the right answer & I do NOT trust my local nursery to steer me right! Any info. will be greatly appreciated!
Follow-Up Postings:
|Visit Shu Swamp in Millneck and you will see clearly that they are invasive on LI. Most wetlands on LI are threatened enough already, I myself would destroy it, you have to do what your conscience dictates.
|The problem with loosestrife is in the northeast (LI included)and personally, I would stay away from it. I would guess you want to do the right thing and I would call the nursery, speak to the manager or buyer, and return them. Tell them you asked before buying if they give you a hard time, and you received bad info from their salesperson. From what I've read, yes, Morden Pink, will add to the problem as long as you are close enough to other plants of the species that can be pollinated by insects.
good luck. (ps....where did you buy it?)
|Thanks for the responses. Amy, I got them in a little place on Jericho Tpke. in Smithtown and NO it was not Michael's. It looks like I am dong some digging & returnign this weekend.

|I have to say I've never had this problem I suppose this happens some places sometimes but my favorite nursery is VERY reputable and knowledgable and never stocks these sorts of things. They never usually stock things that don't do well in this area and nothing that's a noxious weed. It still amazes me there are some nurseries that sell (variegated/chartrues (like limelight or not!) artemisia vulgaris. I more persnickity weed I have hardly come by! :)

Hello mate, have a look at this thread linked below.
Windows 7 Repair Disk Download
|My System Specs
|04 Sep 2011
Thanks again for your quick reply !
I tried to download the file on both a DVD and a CD but it didn't seem to work when I was getting on my laptop. But, one thing I'm happy of now is that I can get to the system recovery options page (saying my OS, my partition size and the location). I tried running a sfc/scannow in cmd and it's able to detect ''corrupted files'' but no matter how many times I start it over, nothing is happening. I guess I need the repair CD to be able to do something. Also, I'm able to get to the page to download Windows 7 but when I get there, it says none of my drivers are compatible. I tried several times to change the driver or even changing the CD but nothing's happening. I guess I'll need to drop my computer to a technician . If you have any other tips, let me know, I'll be coming everyday to see if there was an update. I really appreciated the time you gave to try to help me. It show's your someone with good intentions that always try to help people around him. That's a really good quality. Thank you again and have a good day. MrDub

Thank you very much again Ted ! I took a look at those documents and found them quite interesting and helpful. Having lost a week with this problem, I then made a restore which was successful (the last date I could choose from was 12/2009) !! I got to log in on a ''new account'' and a window popped-up saying I needed to install critical updates for windows. After that, it said I needed to restart my computer. And BAM, I'm stuck there. I see the manufacturer picture and then, there's an unending blank line that blinks. I can't get past that, can't get to safe mode, can't boot from CD, etc. The only thing I can do is get into my BIOS settings, that's all. Now, I think I have no other choices than sending my computer to repair. If I keep on working on my computer like that, I'll have difficulties at school. Thank you for your time and for everything you shared with me. I'll keep on coming every once and a while and try to help others too. Thanks again MrDub

Sir, following the tutorial: SFC -SCANNOW Run in Command Prompt at Boot in step 5 instead of getting the following window:
what i'm getting is this:
Step 5 says: At this System Recovery Options dialog box, make sure there is a dot at "Use Recovery Tools" and be sure to make note of the Location drive letter as it "probably will not be C:" and the correct drive letter must be entered in the following steps; then click Next.
But, in my case, the drive letter is C: only.... Is it fine???
Shall i continue?
Sir, please respond asap....
Thank you...
|My System Specs

Hello Aman,
Yes, that is fine. You should be able to continue without issue.
By default, Windows 7 creates a 100MB System Reserved partition when installed to a unallocated disk. If so, the Windows 7 drive is usually listed as D: at boot instead. If no100MB System Reserved partition was createad, then the Windows 7 drive is usually C: at boot. That's all.

Alright !
So I brought my computer to the repair shop a couple of days ago and the guy called me today to let me know the problem was with my CD Drive. It wouldn't read the disks I inserted and wouldn't let me start windows normally for some reasons. I lost everything (which isn't that bad after all because I'm glad my computer is working now) but I guess I'll start back from scratch. Thank you to everyone that helped me, especially BFK (Ted). Your tips were easy to follow and you were so friendly but I guess my CD Drive got me . I really appreciated your help and look foward to see me on this forum from time to time. See you and have a nice day. MrDub

Recipe by Cindi
"This recipe is contest-winning. For 24 muffins, I used 2/3 of the recipe (5 eggs)."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

6 cups
all-purpose flour
4 cups
white sugar
3/4 teaspoon
baking soda
3/4 teaspoon
2 cups
sour cream
2 cups
butter, melted
3 tablespoons
lemon zest
2 tablespoons
lemon juice
3/4 cup
all-purpose flour
3/4 cup
white sugar
1/4 cup
cubed cold butter
I have made this recipe twice; on the second time around I made a few changes that made a delicious difference. I halved the recipe, and used low fat sour cream, then I added the juice of 1 1/2 lemons to the batter, I tasted the batter to make sure it had the tang of lemon before I was satisfied. I used the full recipe for the crumb topping, in other words doubled it for a halved recipe. When the muffins came out of the oven I drizzled a glaze of fresh squeezed lemon juice and powdered sugar over the top and in the crevices of the warm muffins, it made them even moister and more lemony. I will make this recipe over and over for my family and gifts for friends. If you love lemon you will love these changes.
The muffins had a great base and they came out wonderfully, but I don't find them to be that phenomenal. Without the crumb topping they would have been very boring. If I ever make them again I think I'll add some more lemon to it; the flavor was rather faint in the final product.

This recipe was originally published in Taste of Home and I noticed that it leaves out the most vital step of the whole muffin experience! There is supposed to be a Lemon Juice/Sugar syrup that you drizzle over the warm muffins. Believe me, this is so important to make these muffins top notch. They already have a beautiful texture and light lemon flavor, but the sweet tang of the syrup takes these over the top! For the full batch, the original TOH glaze recipe calls for 1/2 cup sugar and 1/3 cup lemon juice. Mix to dissolve the sugar, then drizzle over your warm muffins. I sometimes warm the sugar syrup in the microwave a bit to dissolve the sugar, and I always drizzle the muffins while they are still in the pan because this sends the syrup down the sides of the muffin and creates a wonderful experience in your mouth when you finally have a bite! Plus, it's less messy overall, keep the mess in the pan right! They are easy to take out of the pan, too! I made the entire batch one day and couldn't bake them all that evening, so I saved the remaining batter overnight and baked them the next morning and I had no issues with them rising at all. Also, if I have plain or flavored yogurt to use up, I use that in place of the sour cream. I've made these many times according to the recipe and I find that I like more lemon flavor, so I add 2 - 3 tsp of Lemon Extract to the batter with a little more lemon juice as well. Very forgiving recipe and freezes well!
I made these today & they are amazing! I did make a few changes: I used French Vanilla yogurt instead of sour cream and also added lemon extract. For the topping, I mixed brown sugar, white sugar & lemon zest then sprinkled that on top before baking. From this recipe, I made 24 mini muffins, 12 regular sized muffins then, with the leftover batter, I added frozen blueberries & made 2 lemon blueberry loaves! YUM!
yummy! but the serving size must refer to small muffins. using large/jumbo cupcake liners, when i halved this recipe I only got 12 muffins out of it. tasty! I increased the heat to 425 degrees and baked about 20 minutes for a nice rise on the muffins. also added finely chopped pecans, bout 1/2 a cup to the recipe. since i was low on sour cream, i subbed vanilla yogurt and sour milk. also, i used oil in place of the butter in the muffin batter. next time i will use only two eggs, though- it was a little dense. will make these again!
Soooo Good! I halved the whole recipe exept for the lemon zest and lemon juice (I substituted the lemon juice with lemon extract). Some reviewers said it was a tad dry but I didn't think so. Maybe next time add a splash of milk and see what happens. Also I added some lemon zest to the crumb topping. GREAT RECIPE!
This recipe was so yummy! I made it exactly how it is said on here, with the addition of a splash of milk to make the muffins a little more moist and a little extra lemon juice for flavor. Definitely a favorite and definitely makes plenty of muffins!
So good even though I made a few changes. I went to make them only to find myself out of a few key ingredients (lemon zest and lemon juice) so me being the creative mind I am used dried orange zest and I used lemon extract at half of what it called for in juice and I also added 1/4 tsp of cardamom and 1/4 tsp cinnamon to the batter. AMAZING!!!!!

The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders (1996)

Movie Info
Written in 1712, Daniel Defoe's bawdy novel Moll Flanders was given a slick movie treatment with Kim Novak in the lead in 1965, then serialized for British television in 1975. Most 21st century viewers, however, are familiar only with the four-part Granada Television adaptation, which made its first British TV appearance on December 1, 1996. This time around, Alex Kingston was cast as the resourceful Moll Flanders, who, in her determination to attain the uppermost circles of 18th century British society, was not averse to hopping in a few beds in pursuit of that goal. Along the way, Moll got mixed up with highwaymen and other scoundrels, nearly meeting her doom at the end of a hangman's noose in the process. But if nothing else, Moll was a survivor, and a happy ending was never far from view. At the time of its first broadcast, Moll Flanders stirred up controversy by virtue (if that is the word) of its 17 -- count 'em, 17 -- sex scenes. By the time that American cable viewers were treated to this lavish and lurid miniseries, star Alex Kingston had attained network TV stardom as one of the regulars on NBC's E.R., a fact that served only to stir up additional interest in Kingston's full-blooded portrayal of the fearless Ms. Flanders. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi … More

Man runs from CCPD, had toy gun
CORPUS CHRISTI - Police chased and arrested a 44-year-old man who fled with a toy gun early Wednesday morning.
Officers stopped about 1:15 a.m. to talk with Robbie Caldwell, who was walking along Hermine Drive, according to a police brief. Caldwell ran to Marine Drive and darted around a house, with police on his heels. An officer tackled him and saw what appeared to be a chrome pistol in his back pocket, the brief said. It was a toy gun.
Caldwell was treated for a small cut on his left eye by medics before being taken to the city lockup charged with evading detention.

Performance Evaluation of AODV and DSR On-Demand Routing Protocols With Varying MANET Size
Free registration required
Executive Summary
A Mobile Ad hoc NETwork (MANET) is a collection of wireless mobile nodes dynamically forming a network topology without the use of any existing network infrastructure or centralized administration. Routing is the process which transmitting the data packets from a source node to a given destination. The main procedure for evaluating the performance of MANETs is simulation. The on-demand protocol performs better than the table-driven protocol. Different methods and simulation environments give different results. It is not clear how these different protocols perform under different environments. One protocol may be the best in one network configuration but the worst in another.

From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
City state, one of the Free Cities
Qohor's army outside of the walls of the city
|Essos, Free Cities, the Forest of Qohor
|Black Goat of Qohor (god)
|Approx 1000 years ago
Qohor is one of the nine Free Cities located in western Essos. It lies near a great forest, the Forest of Qohor. It sits on the banks of the Qhoyne, a tributary of the Rhoyne. Qohor is east of Norvos and north of Volantis.[1]
During the Century of Blood, the Dothraki were stopped by the Unsullied in the bloody Battle of Qohor.[2] Qohor and Norvos broke Volantene power on the Rhoyne in a battle involving fire galleys on Dagger Lake.[3]
Shortly after being created, the Golden Company sacked Qohor, after the city refused to honor the contract it had made with the company. This event established the reputation of the sellword company quickly.[4]
When they were young, Viserys and Daenerys Targaryen spent some time in Qohor when they were wandering from place to place.
- See also: Images of Qohor
Ever since the Battle of Qohor, the city guard has been made up entirely of Unsullied, each carrying a spear with a braid of human hair.[2]
Qohorik craftsmen are renowned throughout the Free Cities. Their blacksmiths have the ability to meld paint in with the metals. Some blacksmiths claim to know how to reforge Valyrian steel. The wood from the Forest of Qohor is much sought after. The Qohorik worship the deity known as the Black Goat, who demands daily blood sacrifice.[5] Calves, bullocks, and horses are the animals most often brought before the Black Goat's altars, but on holy days condemned criminals are sacrificed by the priests of Qohor.[6]
Recent Events
A Game of Thrones
Daenerys Targaryen passes Qohor during the journey of Khal Drogo's khalasar from Pentos to Vaes Dothrak.[7]
A Feast for Crows
Garin tells Arianne Martell that according to sailors in Planky Town, followers of R'hllor had rioted and tried to burn down the Black Goat.[8]

BARRIE - Proroguing Parliament has put an urgent human-trafficking bill on ice, an anti-pornography activist fears.
Longtime activist and teacher Judy Nuttall has been pushing for Bill C-268 to be approved before the world gathers in Vancouver for the Olympics next month. During international events, such as the Olympics, impoverished children have been forced into sexual slavery, she says.
Supporting Canada Fights Human Trafficking, Nuttall called on MPs and senators to approve C-268, a private member's bill by MP Joy Smith, before the world arrives.
In a Concerned Citizens Against Child Pornography letter to the Senate – which was debating the bill before Prime Minister Stephen Harper called for the parliamentary session to end – Nuttall said. "These children truly have become slaves, slaves to sexual exploitation. They are suffering abuse from an early age, 'working' most hours of the 24-hour day.
"Bill C-268 must be passed in order to end this heinous crime and bring justice for the victims and to bring just enforcement against the trafficker."
But Prime Minister Stephen Harper asked for the governor general to end the parliamentary session – proroguing it – for the second time in two years. The last government to employ the rarely used Constitutional provision more than once was Lester B. Pearson's Liberal government in the 1960s.
"It's very, very rare, hardly ever used," stressed Laurentian University political science professor Michael Johns.
"Everything dies. Ultimately, you're suspending Parliament. Everything dies," he said.
But both Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Barrie MP Patrick Brown disagree.
Harper described the last parliamentary year as "extraordinary," and the government needed time to "recalibrate" after the economic crisis had passed. In an interview with CBC News Tuesday, Harper called proroguing "a routine, Constitutional measure."
Johns suggested Harper prorogued Parliament to kill the Afghan detainee investigation. "We can take the government at its word that they were coming out of the economic crisis and they needed new ideas. The timing is certainly suspect, however. By proroguing Parliament to March, it gives a lot of time for (the Afghan detainee) issue to die down."
Harper denied that.
"It's not on the top of the radar of most Canadians. What is on top is the economy. When we come back, we will have the second stage of our economic action plan and a new budget," he said.
Brown supported his leader.
"The average Parliament comprises three or four sessions, and three or four Throne Speeches. Some Parliaments have had as many as six or seven Throne Speeches. This is the 105th time in Canada's history that a new Throne Speech will launch a new session of an existing Parliament," he said.
"The economy remains Canadians' top priority and our top priority."
Regardless of why the government ended the session, C-268 is no more.
Nuttall, however, feels her work is not in vain.
"There are MPPs who are also very keen to see something brought into action," she said.

1897 -1987
Josephine Bell was born Doris Bell Collier in Manchester, England. Between 1910 and 1916 she studied at Godolphin School, then trained at
Newnham College, Cambridge until 1919. At the University College
Hospital in London she was granted M.R.C.S. and L.R.C.P. in 1922, and a
M.B. B.S. in 1924.
Bell was also a prolific author, writing forty-three novels and numerous uncollected short stories during a forty-five year period.
Many of her short stories appeared in the London Evening Standard. Using her pen name she wrote numerous detective novels beginning in 1936, and she was well-known for her medical mysteries. Her early books featured the fictional character Dr. David Wintringham who worked at Research Hospital in London as a junior assistant physician. She helped found the Crime Writers' Association in 1953 and served as chair during 1959-60.

The money is used for education but not in addition to the funding the schools would have already received, but in place of when the politicians take school money for pet projects and make it up with lottery money. So the amount of money schools receive stays flat.

(Corrects to show Tate & Lyle may be removed from the FTSE 100.)
Daily Mail & General Trust Plc (DMGT), publisher of the U.K.'s Daily Mail newspaper, will likely replace Cairn Energy Plc (CNE) in the FTSE 100 Index tomorrow, according to Dresdner Kleinwort.
Schroders Plc, London's biggest publicly traded money manager, is the second-most likely stock to be added to the benchmark, potentially replacing Tate & Lyle Plc (TATE), maker of Sweetener Splenda, said John Carson, an index strategist at Dresdner Kleinwort in London, in an interview.
Companies automatically join the index if they are among the 90 biggest in Britain by market value when the review occurs. Companies that rank 111th or lower are removed from the measure.
Joining an index such as the FTSE 100 can boost a company's stock price because funds that mirror it buy shares of the members. About 30 billion pounds ($54 billion) track the FTSE 100, according to Citigroup Inc.
Any changes to the FTSE 100 will be announced after the close of trading tomorrow and are based on today's closing price, said Jo Mayall, communications executive at FTSE Group in London.
The changes will take effect on March 19.

What's it like to be within a hairs-breadth of your dream? "I could give the P.C. answer: 'Oh, it's wonderful just to be here!'" says Tamiko Nash, first runner-up in the 2006 Miss USA pageant. "But I competed to win. It was painfully clear to anyone who watched that I was disappointed. And it was probably more disappointing than if I had been eliminated in an earlier round, because I was so close and yet so far away."
Seven months later, Nash got word from pageant executives that she might claim the title after all—Miss USA Tara Conner had been caught using illicit drugs. Says Nash: "I was filled with excitement. But then after a week of not knowing what would happen, I got very angry. Here I was, up against Tara again!" Conner was granted a second chance, while Nash watched the crown slip out of reach for the second time.
High-level competitors risk feeling crushed when they don't nab the one prize that's motivated them for years, says Steven Ungerleider, a sports psychologist and the author of Mental Training for Peak Performance. "I know an Olympic swimmer who recently said, 'Remember that race in Barcelona in 1992? I should have kicked her butt!' It's a lingering, nagging pain that sits in the back of their consciousness. It doesn't necessarily take over their lives, but it simmers under the surface, no matter how much more they've accomplished."
