The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

No progress in power-transfer talks between Yemeni government, opposition
English.news.cn 2011-11-21 03:58:51 FeedbackPrintRSS
SANAA, Nov. 20 (Xinhua) -- Yemeni Vice President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi
met with opposition leaders here on Sunday, trying to reach a
power-transfer agreement upon the request of visiting UN envoy Jamal bin
Omar. However, no progress was made during the talks, government and
opposition officials said.
"No progress has been made until this moment, nothing new," opposition
spokesman Mohamed Qahtan told Xinhua.
"We (opposition representatives) have met with representatives of Saleh's
ruling party, including Hadi upon the request of visiting UN envoy who is
running the talks... but no progress or no compromise was achieved as
Saleh still sticks to his conditions and refuses to transfer power
peacefully," he added.
On the other hand, an official of Saleh's office told Xinhua on condition
of anonymity that "it seems that no deal will be inked as long as the
opposition refused to make any concession."
The government official also said that the UN Security Council postponed a
meeting to discuss the implementation of Resolution 2014 which aims to
solve the months long crisis in Yemen.
Bin Omar arrived in Yemen on Nov. 10 to follow up the implementation of
the UN resolution and called on Saleh to sign the Gulf Cooperation Council
initiative to peacefully transfer power to his deputy Hadi in return for
immunity from prosecution.
Saleh has backed out of signing the initiative for three times in the last
minutes since it was brokered in April, confronting the 10-month-old
Meanwhile, tension is simmering after General Abdulsalam al- Sufyani of
the Republican Guard military base in Arahab district in northern Sanaa
province was killed on Sunday during clashes with the defected army and
dissident armed tribesmen, a day after Saleh warned his opponents of
"harsh and decisive response if they continue to attack the Republican
Guard forces."
The Defence Ministry accused the defected army and opposition- led tribal
rebels of attacking the Republican Guard military base and killing the
general, which opposition officials refused to give comment.
In the capital Sanaa, witnesses said that the government, the defected
army and armed tribesmen recently deployed more forces to the frontline.

Progress seen in talks on power transfer in Yemen

* Progress made in Yemen talks on ending months of crisis
* Officials say president's military powers main sticking point
* Hundreds of Republican guards defect to the opposition
SANAA, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Diplomatic efforts to end months of protests
demanding President Ali Abdullah Saleh step down have made some headway,
an opposition official said on Sunday, with differences narrowed down to
who controls the army during a transitional period.
Progress towards a deal came a day after hundreds of troops from the
Republican Guards, an elite force led by Saleh's son Ahmed, defected to
join protesters camping out in central Sanaa since February to demand an
end to the leader's 33-year rule.
An opposition leader said talks with government representatives,
mediated by U.N. envoy Jamal Benomar, moved closer to an agreement on a
Gulf Arab plan to ease Saleh from power. It would transfer power to his
deputy, Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, before early an presidential election.
"There is progress in the negotiations," the leader in a coalition of
opposition parties told Reuters. He declined to be identified.
"The differences now focus on the president's military authorities. The
opposition wants these powers to be transferred to a committee that will
be responsible for the armed forces until a new president is elected."
Saleh would retain his title during the interim period but Hadi would
take over his powers, the opposition figure said. Yemen's opposition say
Saleh wants overall control of the army, while they seek the power to
sack commanders who disobey orders.
Saleh, who has three times backed away from signing the accord, told
Republican Guard soldiers he visited on Saturday that he was considering
stepping down.
"We in the presidency of the state are willing to sacrifice for the
nation, but you will stay, you are present ... you are the authority of
power," according to state news agency Saba.
Saleh's ruling General People's Congress party said on Saturday an
agreement to implement the Gulf initiative could be finalised within two
days and signed in Riyadh. An opposition official subsequently dismissed
prospects of an imminent deal.
Benomar, who arrived in Yemen last week to follow up on a U.N. Security
Council resolution calling on Saleh to sign the Gulf initiative, has
delayed plans to leave before a Nov. 21 deadline to report to the U.N.
secretary general.
Earlier on Saturday, hundreds of Republican Guard troops defected,
saying they would no longer agree to use force against protesters,
activists said.
"We joined the revolution because we do not want to participate in the
bloodshed and killings practiced by Saleh and his forces in (the
southern city of Taiz), Sanaa and in Arhab (in northern Sanaa)," a
member of the force told demonstrators.
In the southern port city al-Mukalla, a colonel in the army was shot
dead by gunmen on a motorcycle, a local official said.
It was the latest in a series of drive-by attacks on security or
military officers in southern Yemen, which officials blame on militants
believed to be linked to al Qaeda.
Militants have seized swathes of territory in southern Yemen in the
chaos created by 10 months of unrest and protests.
In Arhab, an opposition website reported that a child was killed on
Sunday during shelling by government forces on the tribal area north of
the Yemeni capital.
The economy of the impoverished Arabian Peninsula state has come to a
nearly complete halt. On Saturday, the Aden oil refinery stopped
production after crude supplies ran out due to an attack on a supply
pipeline. (Reporting by Mohammed Ghobari; Writing by Sami Aboudi;

Rereading the tea leaves in the Netflix-Comcast deal
Ever since Netflix and Comcast announced an interconnection agreement aimed at improving streaming performance for Netflix users, commentators have been trying to read the tea leaves to determine what -- if anything -- this deal says about the future of the Internet and network relationships.
A few, including Dan Rayburn on Seeking Alpha, have hailed the agreement as a sign of the continued health of this largely unregulated market. (According to the multinational Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, more than 99 percent of interconnection deals are so straightforward that they're agreed to without a written contract.)

As part of the California State University system's ongoing commitment to serving individuals with disabilities, CSULB is moving forward with implementing the Accessible Technology Initiative (ATI).
An estimated one in five CSULB classes include a student with some type of disability, according to Wayne Dick, professor of computer engineering and computer science. These can include physical or mental disabilities, color blindness or conditions requiring medications that can affect concentration.
Under the leadership of Student Services Vice President Doug Robinson, the campus ATI Steering Committee and its various subcommittees meet monthly on key areas including Web-based information and services, instructional technology, accessible instructional material, and electronic and information technology procurement. Its goal is to develop policies and practices that ensure clarity, consistency and operational feasibility.
A key area is developing or revamping university Web pages to make them accessible to text reader technology. ATI subcommittees are developing processes by which Web pages are being reviewed through HiSoftware to catch initial programming errors, followed by a manual coding review. Incorrect codes can render certain Web page content unavailable to many individuals who have visual limitations, are deaf or hard of hearing, or require an alternative method of navigating a Web page.
Another focus is on encouraging faculty to order textbooks and other instructional materials early so that students who have difficulty using printed materials can acquire alternate versions in time for the beginning of a term. Only about 10 percent of textbooks are currently available in alternate formats, and it can take six weeks or more to convert a textbook into an electronic format that can then be transferred to an alternative format a student can use, such as an audio recording, large print or Braille, according to Penny Peterson, coordinator of Disabled Student Services' High Tech Center and Alternative Media Project. Instructional materials converted to electronic formats can then be shared with other CSU campuses through the systemwide Center for Alternative Media project. Students must purchase the original book or material and sign a copyright form in order to obtain the alternative format version.
CSULB's Procurement and Support Services Office has submitted a draft purchasing plan for campus technology to the CSU Chancellor's Office that includes computer hardware and software as well as other equipment such as telephones, copiers and fax machines. The plan also addresses situations of exemptions and undue burden.
Plans also call for training and certification programs to assist faculty and staff who create Web pages or submit content for them. Additional funding to support ATI activities is being sought through the CSULB resource planning process as well as by the CSU System through its state budget.
Informational presentations about ATI will begin this fall to major campus constituency groups. For more information, visit www.csulb.edu/divisions/students2/committees/ati.

New York" The Big Apple, concrete jungle, the city that doesn't sleep. It is well-known that businesses in the city operate at all hours and residents don't always stick to day schedules -- and a new, interactive map shows just how awake the city is.
New York is the target of Breathing City, a map which displays a 24-hour cycle of populations at both work and home. The map shows the hourly changes of population movement in Manhattan: flaring orange when people are at work, before cooling to an electric blue when New York residents are going home for the evening. Naturally, New York's hotspots, such as Times Square, are densely colored.
Breathing City's creator, Joey Cherdarchuk of Dark Horse Analytics, used five data sets from census counts to create the map. Population, employment, land use, building footprints, and work-based activity percentages by time of day were used to create density plots.
The map represents roughly 1.5 million residents and 2 million workers -- although a 2013 census puts the numbers closer to 1.6 million residents and 3.1 million workers-- and only work and play are represented as ways to spend your time in the city. While there are some flaws, the map is still an interesting visualization of New York life.

Time to shine those shoes, clip that facial hair and grease up those rippling muscles — the 57th annual Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show and Shopping Expo has begun.
About 250,000 people are expected to attend the 10-day event, running through Feb. 26 at WestWorld of Scottsdale. With nearly 2,400 Arabian and half-Arabian horses registered for 640 competition classes, it is the largest show of its kind in the world, according to show officials. Owners and trainers will be competing for more than $1 million in prize money and the coveted title of Scottsdale Champion.
"I would probably fall off my horse and cry if I won," says Makenzie Gleave of Mesa.
Gleave, 21, will be showing her horse, Ranger. Last year, they placed in the top ten for "hunter pleasure," a competition in which the horse must give the appearance of being a pleasure to ride while moving with forward momentum.
This will be Gleave's fifth time showing at Scottsdale. She knows exactly how much effort is needed to be successful.
She has been preparing for the show since U.S. Arabian Horse Nationals ended in late October, grooming and training Ranger every day.
"You have to put work into the coat every day if you want it to look nice," she says.
Before hauling out to the show, Ranger must have his coat clipped and washed. Tack and saddle pads must be cleaned. Everything must be loaded into the trailer, and most show fees must be paid. Besides training and care expenses, Gleave has dished about $700 in fees, with more to come.
"It's a big deal to me because I have to pay my own way. I'm working hard just to feed myself," she says. Gleave is a working student at an Arabian breeding facility and goes school at Arizona State University.
So why go through all that trouble?
The show draws the largest crowd of any Arabian horse show and attracts the top horses from around the world, no pre-qualifiers or invitations necessary.
"Being a Scottsdale Champion means as much as being a National Champion," Gleave says. "If you win (at Scottsdale) then you are at the top of your game."
On the days she is showing, Gleave prepares Ranger for the ring herself, instead of having a hired groom do it. After, she takes a minute to be by herself. Before competing, she and Ranger do a light warm-up, and then she walks Ranger around the arena, talking to him in an attempt to calm both their nerves.
Confidence and effort go a long way in the show ring, she says. Nerves must be tucked away.
"When you're in the ring with approximately 20 horses, you have to do everything you can to stand out."
Outside the ring, horse and non-horse enthusiasts can enjoy educational seminars, barn tours, auctions, art exhibits, shopping and dining. More than 300 vendors will sell art, jewelry, clothing, tack and more. Kids can enjoy an ice-cream social and painting free pottery ponies Saturday morning.
Popular "classes," or competitions, to watch are "Freestyle Liberty," where horses are set free in the ring to music, "Gambler's Choice," where horses are timed as they jump different obstacles worth points, and "Native Costume," where horses and riders gallop around the arena dressed in traditional desert regalia. Freestyle Liberty and Native Costume classes will be held throughout the week; the Gambler's Choice class is 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25.
Championship classes go on each weekend of the show. Evening admission is free on Feb. 24.
Gleave says she has high hopes for this year's show. "I don't want to curse myself, but I am hoping for at least top ten."
The show is hosted by the non-profit Arabian Horse Association of Arizona. Show officials say the show has raised millions of dollars to support charities, including Cox Charities, March of Dimes, Horsemen's Distress Fund and the Phoenix Crisis Nursery.

My venus flytrap that I've had for about a month is very healthy and has lots of traps but each time it catches a fly, it easily digests it then opens up but the cilia (teeth) are curved back.It only digests once then dosen't close again.
However,when I trigger a trap with a toothpick it opens up and is ready to close again.All leaves have this trait, even newly opened leaves that just caught a bug do this. Before I bought it I read the care sheet at cobra plants and did everything it said so I know I'm not doing anything wrong. Also, It was bought at wal-mart. Thanks, Adrian |
Follow-Up Postings:
Where is the plant? Indoors or outdoors? What kind of water do you use? That sometimes happens with traps if the prey was too big I find. I don't think yu should worry too much about it. Tom |
- Posted by petiolaris Neutral (My Page) on Tue, Aug 21, 07 at 19:26
I woudln't trigger the traps. They have a limited amount of times they will spring. |
- Posted by mutant_hybrid (My Page) on Wed, Aug 22, 07 at 5:41
Also, each Flytrap will have it's own quirks. So long as it is getting everything it needs and is still growing and doing it's thing, it is healthy. |
- Posted by carnivorousplants (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Wed, Aug 22, 07 at 19:46
I don't trigger them a lot. Just occasionaly. |
It's most likely that the fly was too big for the trap. If they eat small prey, then can eat several times. Here's a pic of a trap that has eaten and is ready for another meal. If the trap was much smaller, or the fly much bigger, it could only eat once. -Don |

Getting started with JSON-P
I have during my college days used XMLHttpRequest object and its equivalent in Microsoft world to make Ajax calls and those Ajax calls were to the URL within the same domain. But with the advent of Webservices and whole lot of mashups being developed, Ajax calls are not restricted to same domain but the cut acorss different domains. When this cutting across domain boundaries happens making Ajax calls using XMLHttpRequest fails due to security enforcements implemened by the browsers. That's when the idea of JSON-P i.e JSON with Padding came up.
In this post I will quote from different sources about JSONP and then go ahead and implement example which invokes Stackoverflow API to retrieve the unanswered questions tagged 'jsonp'
What is JSONP?
I am not going to restate its definition, instead quote its definition from different sources as given below:
From Head First HTML5:
JSONP is a way to retrieve JSON objects by using the
tag. It's also a way of retrieving data (again, in the form of JSON objects) that avoids the same-origin security issues we saw with XMLHttpRequest. JSONP is JSON data wrapped in JavaScript; typically, a function call.
From http://json-p.org/
One such mechanism which can request content cross-domain is the
tag. In December 2005, Bob Ippolito formally proposed JSONP (later dubbed JSON-P, or JSON-with-padding) as a way to leverage this property ofscript
tags to be able to request data in the JSON format across domains. JSON-P works by making ascript
element (either in HTML markup or inserted into the DOM via JavaScript), which requests to a remote data service location. The response (the loaded "JavaScript" content) is the name of a function pre-defined on the requesting web page, with the parameter being passed to it being the JSON data being requested. When the script executes, the function is called and passed the JSON data, allowing the requesting page to receive and process the data.
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONP
Summarising, JSONP is a communication technique to retrieve data from some URL and then leveraging the script
tag to establish the communication and JavaScript to update the HTML.
There have been a lot of concerns about how secure using JSONP is, but I dont want to get into those discussions as that is not the main motive of this post.
Now going forward, let me show JSONP in action using a simple example.
Simple example for JSONP
For the simple example I will make use of some resources from chapter on JSONP in Head First HTML5 book. I am going to make a JSONP call to a Javascript resource which in turns invokes the callback function declared in my Javascript source.
Lets look at the HTML source:
  <title></title> <meta charset="UTF-8">
JSONP Simple Demo

The interesting thing happens in the JavaScript code.
//simple.js window.onload = function(){ //Get the head element. var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0]; //url for the javascript resource for JSONP call. var url = "http://wickedlysmart.com/hfhtml5/chapter6/dog3.js"; //Appending the script tag to the head element. //This triggers a JSONP call to get the data. var scriptTag = document.createElement("script"); scriptTag.setAttribute("src",url); head.appendChild(scriptTag); } //Method invoked by JSONP function animalSays(animal){ var div = document.getElementById("jsonp"); div.innerHTML = animal.type +" says "+ animal.sound; }
The "http://wickedlysmart.com/hfhtml5/chapter6/dog3.js" contains:
var animal = { "type": "dog", "sound": "woof" }; animalSays(animal);
The above javascript code:
1. creates a JSON object
2. invokes the callback by pasing the JSON object.
Now the question is, where is the animalSays
method declared? If you have carefully looked at simple.js you can see that the method animalSays
has been declared. When the javascript in above URL is requested using JSONP technique by dynamically adding the script
The animalSays
method retrieves the JSON object and then populates the HTML with the data in the JSON object.
Lets look at a more better example.
Accessing Stackoverflow API using JSONP
Details of the Stackoverflow API for unanswered questions can be found here. The URL for accessing unanswered questions tagged 'jsonp' is: https://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/questions/unanswered?order=desc&sort=activity&tagged=jsonp&site=stackoverflow
The above URL returns some JSON data, but how does it help in making use of JSONP? One can append another parameter to the above URL called "callback" which will take the name of the Javascript method which will be invoked once the URL is loaded by the script
Lets take a look at the HTML code:
//sflow.html <!DOCTYPE html>   <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
Unanswered questions tagged 'jsonp'

The Javascript code has 2 parts:
- Part-1: Loading the URL which contains the data and the function invocation.
window.onload = function() { var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0]; var script = document.createElement("script"); var url = "https://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/questions/unanswered?" + "order=desc" + "&sort=activity" + "&tagged=jsonp" + "&site=stackoverflow" + "&callback=listUnansweredQuestions"; //The URL is loaded by including it in the script tag and adding to the DOM. script.setAttribute("src", url); head.appendChild(script); }
function listUnansweredQuestions(questions) { var div = document.getElementById("questions"); var ul = document.createElement("ul"); div.appendChild(ul); for (var i = 0; i < questions.items.length; i++) { var question = questions.items[i]; var li = document.createElement("li"); li.innerHTML = ""+question.title+""; ul.appendChild(li); } }
The complete Javascript code would be:
//sflow.js window.onload = function() { var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0]; var script = document.createElement("script"); var url = "https://api.stackexchange.com/2.1/questions/unanswered?" + "order=desc" + "&sort=activity" + "&tagged=jsonp" + "&site=stackoverflow" + "&callback=listUnansweredQuestions"; script.setAttribute("src", url); head.appendChild(script); } function listUnansweredQuestions(questions) { var div = document.getElementById("questions"); var ul = document.createElement("ul"); div.appendChild(ul); for (var i = 0; i < questions.items.length; i++) { var question = questions.items[i]; var li = document.createElement("li"); li.innerHTML = ""+question.title+""; ul.appendChild(li); } }
The output for the above HTML and Javascript would be:

Not a hot spot, but it's close, for some commuters
BY SUSAN DEMAR LAFFERTY email@example.com January 27, 2014 11:00AM
Article Extras
Updated: March 3, 2014 12:26PM
Some who have to commute in this "Chiberian" weather figure they might as well do it with all the comforts of home — a hot drink, a cozy fireplace, a warm bowl of oatmeal and the morning paper.
All those amenities await riders at the 80th Avenue Metra station in Tinley Park, the busiest station on the Rock Island Line.
Commuter Sally Clark uses the station for two reasons — it's closest to her home and is "so nice," she said.
What makes this 5,400-square-foot station "so nice" is a restaurant with a full kitchen, a stone fireplace, ample seating and friendly service.
Business was steady Monday for Jennifer Smith, manager of Parmesans Station, which is open from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., weekdays (11 a.m. on weekends) serving breakfast, lunch and dinner and catering special events.
"I definitely sell more hot drinks when it's cold. This is not a bad place to take the train," Smith said.
Not bad at all.
Here, commuters such as Michael Conner, of Tinley Park, don't always rush out the door for the next train. He sat at the counter and enjoyed his cup of coffee before hopping aboard a later train.
They may arrive earlier or stay later, enjoying coffee while reading the paper or watch the large-screen TV that hangs overhead to get the last bit of news before heading to work.
In addition to its menu of fresh food, Parmesan's offers pastries, bagels, muffins, Pop-Tarts, instant oatmeal and candy, as well as coffee, tea, cocoa and soft drinks. There's also beer, wine and liquor for those who might like stronger stuff, which is popular with evening and weekend riders, Smith said.
Jeanne Dohm sells about 100 newspapers a day inside the station.
"People like having someone here. This is still a viable business," she said, pointing out that the newspaper boxes out on the platform were covered in snow and "don't always work."
Although Smith and Dohm remained inside, serving their commuting customers all Monday morning, they were dressed in hats, heavy sweaters and scarves. The station is heated, but Dohm said the doors constantly opening and closing make it a cool 50 degrees or so inside.
Smith said there were more riders Monday than there were on Jan. 6, when the first arctic blast gripped the Southland. There are some commuters who don't come into the main station, opting for one of the warming houses along the tracks.
But commuters seem to be getting used to the frigid temperatures of this nasty winter and have figured out their coping mechanisms.
Carol Poss said her secret to staying warm was handwarmers inside her gloves, thermal socks and thoughts about her upcoming trip to Hawaii.
"You name it, I got it on," she said.
Tami Deacon said she cuts through the buildings downtown on her walk from the train station to her office.
"It's supposed to be like this through Wednesday. I can't take three days off work," she said.
Ken Blank, of Tinley Park, said he was "ridiculously warm" in his thermal arctic suit, with matching overalls and a jacket — good for minus-10 degrees.
"This is my walking-in-the-city gear," the University of Illinois at Chicago student said. "I could sleep in the snow."

St. Patrick's student an athletic and academic winner
By Martin Cleary, The Ottawa Citizen
Winta Desta, a Grade 12 student-athlete at St. Patrick's High School, is over the moon about winning the $30,000 Presidential Scholarship at Lakehead University.
Photograph by: Jean Levac, The Ottawa Citizen
Winta Desta is feeling much lighter these days … not to mention over-the-moon happy.
By winning the top $30,000, four-year entrance scholarship at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ont., the Grade 12 St. Patrick's High School student-athlete will be pursuing her post-secondary education and athletic career at an out-of-town university.
It was a great sense of relief for the Fighting Irish three-sport athlete.
It also meant a great deal to her single mother, Azieb Retta, who balances jobs as an independent home-care provider for the elderly and newspaper delivery person for the Citizen along with the busy lives of her three school-aged children (two daughters and one son).
"If I didn't get the scholarship, I would not be going to Lakehead University because of the expense," says Desta, who is strong academically as well as going to the basketball hoop as a forward-centre.
"I feel very, very good about this scholarship. It takes a big weight off my shoulders and the same for my mother."
Desta was one of two high school seniors to win the Presidential Scholarship, the most prestigious academic award offered by Lakehead. It's worth $7,500 a year, and will cover her tuition and books.
She earned the national entrance scholarship because of her academic marks at St. Patrick's, leadership, community service, letters of support as well as a written essay and an interview. Her mid-term average at St. Patrick's was 91 per cent.
"Now, I only have to focus on the other half of the deal (residence and food)," she adds.
"I'll work this summer and I'll try to do what I can."
For the past six years, Retta has lived without her husband, Goitom — and Winta, 17, Selam, 14, and Simon, 11, have been without their father, who died of a heart attack at age 45.
"I don't want her to go away," says Retta, echoing the feeling of many parents whose children decide to travel to university.
"But it's very exciting. We have a very tight income and she has worked so hard. It's so rewarding for her. It's a very big help for me."
Desta was so aware that her marks would determine whether she could afford to attend a university outside Ottawa that she reduced her sports schedule in 2009-10 by not playing community basketball with the Kanata Cavalier or Ottawa Celtics. She limited her participation in sports at St. Patrick's to basketball, volleyball and touch football.
"My marks dropped a bit last year as I was piling on too much," she says. "I regret it a bit."
Desta, who is half an inch shy of six feet, started playing basketball in Grade 7 at St. Patrick's immediate school and her talent also led her to the Celtics.
In her three years with the Celtics, she experienced the provincial championships twice, playing in Division 4 in 2006 before the top-ranked Division 1 in 2007.
At the 2009 juvenile provincials, she was part of the Kanata Cavaliers team that was ranked sixth in Division 1. But they were 1-2 in round-robin play and missed the playoff round for the medals.
"I love the competition and aggressiveness (of basketball)," Desta says.
"A lot of people think it's not a tough sport, but it is. You must be focused and mentally tough."
Besides being strong academically, Lakehead Timberwolves women's basketball coach Jon Kreiner recruited her to join his growing program.
"I could be red-shirted my first year because Lakehead had a big recruiting class and a transfer player from an (NCAA) Division 1 school. I'm at the bottom of the list."
But she's at the top of another list, when it comes to earning a major entrance scholarship.
Winners' circle
Ottawa's John Conway, playing for the fifth-place Toronto Golden Jets, was named to the tournament all-star team at the Canadian senior men's water polo championship in Montreal.

And even more
At a recent field hockey tournament for middle schools (Grades 7-8), the four teams from Longfields-Davidson Heights dominated the boys' and girls' competition. In the boys' final, the L-DH white team shut out the L-DH purple squad 1-0, while the girls' final was a 1-1 deadlock between the L-DH white and L-DH purple teams. Five girls' and four boys' teams entered the tournament. While girls' field hockey is played at the high school level, it doesn't exist as a boys' sport at the interscholastic level. Here's another sign of growth of field hockey in Ottawa. The Nepean Night-hawks will appear for the first time in a sanctioned Ontario tournament with boys' under-14 and girls' under-18 teams competing in the May Meltdown tournament this weekend in Mississauga.

The 'Mirror Mirror' star opens up about her ex Taylor Lautner — and she only has nice things to say!
Lily Collins, 22, is happily moving forward with her love life — so much so, that she's fine opening up about her ex Taylor Lautner.
"He's a talented actor and a gentleman," Lily reveals to Seventeen, in which she graces its March cover. "Taylor is very humble. He has so many fans and he never forgets that. He really appreciates the support that he's gotten through the years, and he gives it right back — to me, that makes a good leading man."
But now that the Mirror Mirror actress is newly single, what is she looking for in her future Prince Charming?
"Somebody who can make me laugh at the drop of a hat, and is an old-school gentleman, who sweeps me off my feet in a quirky way, either by writing me a letter or surprising me," she says.
"I like someone I can have a really fun time with and be extremely goofy with, but at the same time have a serious conversation with," adds the bushy brow'd actress.

We can speculate all about the lastest TL spotting w/mystery blonde (Sara. The big question: is she going to last now that TL has a new movie and if there's a gorgeous starlet that may be his love interest? We all know that's how his team wants to keep his name out there-he's dating his co-star.

Sara said she would never cut off a huge amount of length from her hair. It was down by her waist originally, and it's still below her boobs. The only definitive way to tell the difference between the two girls is that Sara has blue eyes and Makena has brown. However, the person just happened to see Taylor leaving the store, I doubt he was observing the girl next to Taylor that closely to be able to see what color her eyes were.
Posted at 1:17 AM on April 7, 2012
There is a chance it could be either Sara or Makena. Makena's hair is more like a dark blonde, where else Sara's is now light dirty blonde. About Sara's waist length hair, she just recently cut it about 2/3 weeks ago, she even tweeted "Haircut timeee…Eeee!" My guess that it was Sara; another prove is that I was watching a Clippers game and saw her, her hair is no a little past her shoulders as far as I can see.

I hope TL is busy – his fellow actors using Thor Bradwll are not as busy (Dian Agron, Zac Efron). How interesting, LC was accompanied by all at different times within 2 years time. Saw Zac at the 2010 Saints games/parties in NOLA during BD filming when TL also appeared at game. IMO TL has steady number of fans and guards his private life.
Posted at 1:38 PM on April 6, 2012
So what? Most actors guard their private life, and he has no reason to be losing fans at this time. Taylor Lautner and Zac Efron have both attended sports games over the years. They're guys…so how is it surprising that they go to sports games? Hollywood is a very small place. I don't see how your comment is relevant to anything.
Truer words
Posted at 2:46 PM on April 6, 2012
That's what I don't understand. If you're up for being an actor just accept the life that comes with it. Don't become a public figure and then b@$&h about it when people want to know what's going on with you. This is a rant in general because TL doesn't really do it but a lot of celebrities do that and it's annoying. They knew what they signed up for. Don't want to be followed around? Become a frakking librarian! "You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide." Okay, getting off my soapbox now.
Posted at 7:19 PM on April 6, 2012
@truer words I agree with you totally. The constant media exposure is how young celebs get their faces out there enough with young audiences to attract more acting jobs. I also know that some paparazzi/fans can be rude – sometimes dangerous. TL has seemed always pleasant towards both.
Posted at 12:31 AM on April 6, 2012
OKAY HERE'S THE VERDICT. As we know, Sara and TL's sister Makena are both tan and both have blonde hair. However, if you've ever seen Sara's twitter pictures or if you've ever talked to her on Formspring you'll know that she loves her waist-long hair. If you've seen any recent pics of Makena you'll see that she has shorter shoulder length hair. The guy said that the girl did't have really long hair, so that leads me to believe that he saw Taylor's sister.

Also, another thing I want to bring up. Remember the girl who said she saw Taylor at Urbane Cafe? And most of us thought it wasn't true? Well that same girl happens to follow Sara on twitter. She has for at least a few months. So she would have seen Sara's tweet about Urbane Cafe and possibly decided to have some fun with it. Therefre, it increases the chance of her just making it up.

Sad isn't it? Who says the countdown clock hasn't started on Sara now? She must be sweating bullets; she's been down this road before. Bet she's praying the love interest (if there is one) looks like Satan's godmother. If you wonder if your movie star bf is going to bring his work home it's time to get out, IMO.

That information hasn't been released officially yet. Many titles say he's "starring" in the movie. Personally, I find it more realistic that he's playing a minor role. Especially since he isn't involved in the production of this movie and TL is a really random choice compared to the rest of the cast. But either way we'll have to wait and see.
Posted at 2:22 PM on April 5, 2012
The majority of the original cast is returning. I think this is good because Taylor's been wanting to do a "real comedy" for a while. However, the critics aren't dooming the project because of TL. The critics blew GU apart when it first came out. Some say it was some of Adam Sandler's worst acting. Personally, I don't think the critics matter because they're not the ones who are going to make it a box office success. I'll be interested to see what role he plays since the entire cast is 15-20 years older than him. It'll be interesting to see where TL fits in.

I saw the report too. I never saw "Grown Ups", but I saw the trailer online ant the movie looked interesting. I read the movie made decent box office – 160 million domestically. If GU2 has a solid script and TL turns in a funny and good performance, this could me a turning point for him to leave the heartthrob stuff behind.
Posted at 1:26 PM on April 5, 2012
I totally agree with aquarius! I think Taylor can make it in a comedy, I always thought he should have done it before Abduction! Actually the funny and die thing he did was great and he was good in it! So I can't wait to see him in more comedies, hope people will finally see his talent cause he wasn't able yet to show them that he's a good actor!
Posted at 1:58 PM on April 5, 2012
im glad taylor is doing this it shows that he is willing to try anything and his snl skint and funny or die were funny . unfortunalty i doubt the critics will see it that way they are already saying its doomed just because taylor is in it which imo is rude . i believe that the critics will never be on his side . lucky through i think that the critics opionions are not that valued to get the auidence to see a film because of technology these days,audiences are able to view for themselves whether or not to see a movie and dont pay attention to the critics.
Posted at 5:32 PM on April 5, 2012
It is persumptuous for critics to say GU2 will tank b/c of TL, but he deserved the brickbats he got for Abduction. TL has to prove there's more to him and he can bring something to the table in a movie to succeed. Now if he gets a love interest in this movie, you KNOW where the chatter is going to go….

Posted at 12:50 PM on April 4, 2012
Wow, this bloke can't win. I follow the Tay's tag on tumblr and this girl was ranting about his love life. She thinks he's seen alone because he's hiding a girlfriend. But really, if he's seen with a girl everyone says they're dating and now if he's seen alone he's hiding a gf! This is crazy.
Posted at 2:35 PM on April 4, 2012
TL gets slammed in this area because of his relationship track record. He has a girl from his high school days he may be currently seeing, but he has always dumped this girl for high profile females. Those bold-print name girls have been tagged as "showmances" in some quarters (to promote a movie or beat back gay allegations, take your pick); while the high school sweetheart is seen (by some, moi included) as a pathetic girl with low self-esteem issues. IMO, no girl with a ounce of pride would put up with being globally humiliated like that. Some think TL & H.S. girl are just friends. Either way, TL brings the negative speculations on himself because he never directly addressed them. It looks like the "there's no such thing as bad publicity" approach, anything to stay in the conversation. Sure you can argue a statement or interview will not make the negative chatter go away, but you least have an idea where he stands.

@alright Thanks for more TL info! IMO the Twilight franchise is losing some steam with a year between the 2 parts. I'm not a fan of fairy tales reworked (SW) & tired of vampire themes. Stories like Hunger Games are so different altogether which would have suited TL's style involving action – just hate that he was not able to act in that one. This past year,TL has had some great publicity, but he has also been beaten up by the media. Not sure why.

Well his sister is only 14 so I highly doubt it. From what I gathered, the public school system in California have tournaments against each other for various sports. I believe the Olympic ones are the final games. I could be wrong, but I believe that's how it works from looking it up.
Posted at 9:10 PM on April 2, 2012
Posted at 9:20 PM on April 2, 2012
The girl who saw him at Bottega Louis (you might remember that is the same restaurant he dined in with Dustin Lace Black and Gus Van Sant) she said that he was sitting right next to her, and since he was eating, she thought it would be rude to ask for a photo. However she, and the others were able to give descriptions of their sightings. I believe Taylor being in Hunger Games would have caused controvery since HG is Twilight's competition, and the Twilight franchise isn't over yet.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Nala!
Facts about Nala
- Breed: Mastiff/Boxer Mix
- Color: Unknown
- Age: Young
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Nala's Info...
I am good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Nala is a 1 year old mastiff/boxer mix. She is such a sweetheart! Nala gets along well with people and other dogs. She will be a great addition to any family. She will be spayed and vaccinated before going to her forever home. If you are interested in adopting Nala, please contact the Paws and Hooves Rescue Foundation at 918-696-5867.
Other Pets at Paws and Hooves Rescue Foundation
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Nala, a Stilwell Mastiff/Boxer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Mastiff/Boxer for sale in Stilwell, or seeking a Mastiff/Boxer dog from a breeder in Stilwell.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Stilwell already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Stilwell breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Mastiff/Boxer breeders who help with Mastiff/Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Stilwell paves the way for another one to be saved.

Guatemala City is the largest city of Guatemala. It's the largest city in Central America, and is home to more than 2.5 million people. Guatemala City's population has grown drastically since the 1970s with the influx of indigenous migrants from the outlying departments and foreigners. Because of its rapid growth, it experienced extreme growing pains such as transportation saturation, availability of potable water, and an increase in crime. Although it's infrastructure continues to grow, it lags behind in relation to the population explosion, resulting in a tough urban environment lacking adequate areas of leisure and recreation. Although soccer is our most popular sport, there is little governmental investment in new facilities that cope with the population demands. As a result, street-ball has become immensely popular with city dwellers. In 2000, Guatemala City hosted the FIFA Futsal World Championship and in 2008 the CONCACAF Futsal Championship. Futsala (as indoor is known in Spanish) is the most played sport in the city. The Buró de Intervenciones Públicas (BIP) wants to generate a network of urban futsal fields within the city. Our innovative proposal will create 12 urban pitches on city streets. Each field will be placed in low-traffic inner city streets, and will incorporate meaningful light sources and traffic-calming-mechanisms, generating adequate urban conditions for citizen appropriation. Similar to mix-used street proposals, the project aims to protect our streets from traffic, create better living conditions, promote soccer, and promote health. Through the activation of spaces, we hope to add joy to our harsh urban environment by encouraging citizen interaction. Thus, we'd not only be promoting the best sport on Earth, but we'd also be improving the living conditions of hundreds, if not thousands, of inhabitants. We have already acquired city permissions and permits, professional design collaborations, and most importantly citizen interest.
Buró de Intervenciones Públicas (BIP). The Buró de Intervenciones Públicas, BIP (Bureau of Public Interventions, BIP), is a collaborative project by Stefan Benchoam and Christian Ochaita that originated as a direct response to the lack of public spaces and infrastructures for recreation and socialization in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Their work incorporates various elements of architecture, art, design, and urbanism, hoping to modify the way in which citizens relate with the open spaces of their cities. Their projects encourage the use of public spaces through playful elements and unusual occurrences, and are developed through their collaboration with other artists, collectives and people in general. The interventions and occurrences that they organize can be read as Situationistiii gestures that generate reflection and debate about their city. http://elbipbip.com
Guatemala City, Guatemala, Guatemala
12 locations around Guatemla City's lowest income neighberhoods.. The project will be located in 12 different low-income residential areas (city-slums/favelas) around the city. The proposed sites for the fields are to be city streets. This reinterpretation of Guatemalan streets takes into account the immense value that the streetscape plays in high-density residential urban environment that lacks proper recreational facilities. Location map will be finalized if proposal is accepted; these proposed locations would be chosen for various criteria, which include: social, economic, and cultural disadvantages, increased population density, and lack of leisurely infrastructure that should be provided by both the central government and the municipal authorities.
Yes. The twelve futsala fields need to be site-specifically designed and built. Each field installation will cost an estimated $2,000 and will include fluorescent pavement floor lines, two small movable goal posts traffic calming speed bumps behind each end of the field and vertical and horizontal signage to delimit the area. The project already has the support of the city planning commission and a few neighborhood groups who have been approached with the idea. All material for the proposal will be local to keep cost down.
Yes. Architectural assistance from architects, designers, artists, and experts in informal (everyday)-urbanism will be pursued, as we believe it would prove to be beneficial for the project itself. However the BIP team members already have professional design and construction knowledge needed to implement the proposal.
Yes. The project will need the assistance from the construction professionals whose services can be attained in Guatemala. The project will employ local masons for all the skilled labour working under the professional guidance of BIP.

Just read the article on Chaos and I love the fact that FFG are reusing some classic images on these cards. Some of them (Melekh the Changer and Festering Nurglings) first saw print on WarCry cards, then in various WFRP books. And of course Horrific Mutation is part of the cover to one of the classic Realm of Chaos sourcebooks from way back when.
Brand new game, and it's already got me feeling nostalgic. You gotta love it.

I heard Williams criticize Ball for saying he wouldn't have expropriated. That's not what I heard Ball say - did I miss something? The problem wasn't your decision to expropriate water and timber rights Mr. Williams but your accidental inclusion of a mill that had a net negative value to tune of a hundred million or more. Better that you acknowledge that a huge error was made on your watch, take responsibility and desist from trying to persuade us otherwise.

The effects of the Danny Damage Era will be felt for generations to come. This monumental boondoggle will cost hundreds of millions in cleanups, legal fees and future settlements.

Sweet Onion BBQ ChickenMade this for dinner tonight and we loved it, only thing I did different was I used boneless skinless thighs instead of chicken we think the thighs have more flavor, and I didn't add any sugar. Will be using this recipe often. — Gigifairy 4/20/2012 |

J.K. Place, Capri
Capri, 80073 , Italy
This charming spot is sing-out-loud gorgeous, and in its mellow atmosphere, we felt like we were staying at a chic friend's house. The design is nautical with a twist: round porthole-style interior windows, sea-blue walls, crisp white sofas, bronze imitation Greek statues, and houndstooth-print stools. Guests have complete run of the house; we loved picking fresh chilies from the garden to sprinkle on pasta at lunch, and drinking Bellinis on the terrace while watching the bathers on the beach below.

Interested in hearing from anyone who has one of these mowers and how they like them. How long have you had it and how much do you mow? Do you mow completely smooth lawns or some bumpy ground? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have the EZTrak 425 and like it alot. It is my first ZTR after having MTD-class LT's for 25 years. It has the power-flow collection system on it which is very efficient, although it takes some time to get it all together and fitted properly (I elected to installed it instead of the dealer and saved $50). My actual mowing area is probably only about 1/2 acre, mostly level with a few dips I need to fill in. The deck lift is manual w/ 1/4" adjustment increments. There is no spring assist so there is some effort in raising the deck w/ the handle, although not significant. The deck is pretty much the same 48C that you find on their JD garden tractors, not fabricated plate like the higher end ZTR's, but substantial enough for my needs. The drive system is the separate Parker pump/ dual Kanzaki drive motor configuration which I like. There is no suspension system other than what the seat provides so if this is a concern, you might want to look at those so equipped (Ferris?, etc.). This is a dedicated mowing unit and it's cut my mowing time almost in half because it cuts at a higher ground speed and no stopping to shift or back up....it's all a continuous motion. It has a lot of nice features and build quality for the price ($3899.00), IMHO. Bill |
- Posted by workmaster641 (My Page) on Fri, May 30, 08 at 20:36
I just took delivery of my Z425 yesterday and mowed for the first time today. My yard is far from smooth and it did fine. One thing the dealer told me was to ignore whatever the book said for tire pressures and run 14 in the front and 10 in the rear, which they set up for me when they set it all up. I'm thoroughly pleased with my purchase so far. |
May sound like a stupid guestion, to you guys, but does this mower have a motor at each rear wheel or is this one with a single motor? Had a dealer complaining about that type, the other day. One more guestion without trying to make any one mad or stir up a stink. Z425 is this the bottom of the line for John Deere ? and will the dealership honor this or treat you like the black sheep of the family. Sure like the looks of this machine and may get one unless someone changes my mind. Will be tough since I worked with red paint for thirty years. Norm |
Not a stupid question Norm. All ztr's have a motor at each rear wheel in order to get the zero turn capability (wheels rotating in opposite direction as well as together). But one of the main things that separate the entry level ZTR's from the higher end ones are the integral pump / motor units (less costly) vs the separate pump and motor systems. This model JD (425,445,465) does have the separate pump and motor system, and the less expensive 225 model and I think 245 model have the integral units with the pump and motor enclosed in one housing at each wheel. Most of the higher end ZTR's with separate units have two pumps and two motors, whereas this JD model has one pump and two motors, but operates basically the same. That means that the pump and motors are separately serviceable and have a larger fluid capacity (better cooling). But, I'm by no means an expert on these, just conveying info I picked up on the web and in my owners manual. As far as bottom of the JD ztr line, that would be the Z225 and the Z245. The 425, 445 and the new 465 are the next step up but still considered residential grade, not commercial. And of course they are priced accordingly. You should get good treatment from your JD dealer, that's where I got mine. I think they stack up well against the competition but of course I'm biased;o) |

I live up here in the mountains of Pennsylvania. It gets cold up here and it snows a lot in the Winter, so I like to bake in the Winter. I am looking forward to trying some of these recipes.
I am a very busy lady, I go to school at Penn State full-time and I work from home for a health insurance company too. I like creative writing, beading, college foot-ball, and quilting.
I think the dish I am known for is my stuffed-shells. At least everyone who has tried it say it is good. I like Italian foods, however, I am adventurous and like to try new things.
I like the little Ma and Pa type restaurants because they usually have the best food.

Sounders can earn No. 2 spot in Western Conference with win or tie in L.A.
A win or tie by Seattle at the Los Angeles Galaxy would clinch the No. 2 Western Conference playoff seed and third best record in MLS.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Sounders FC @ L.A. Galaxy, 6 p.m., ESPN
Latest from the Sounders FC blog
Sounders trade defender Eriq Zavaleta to Toronto NEW - 1/26, 11:56 AM
TUKWILA — Playoff seeding. MLS Cup hosting rights. CONCACAF Champions League qualifying.
There are a lot of numbers-based, results-based motivations for Sounders FC to win in Sunday's 6 p.m. MLS regular-season finale at the Los Angeles Galaxy.
But that's not all.
"Probably the most important thing is just for our guys to stay in a rhythm," said coach Sigi Schmid.
"You don't want to go, necessarily, two weeks without playing (with your starters) if you can avoid it, especially when other teams are playing. You want to make sure you stay in a regular rhythm."
So what exactly is there to gain Sunday?
Well, a win or tie at The Home Depot Center would clinch the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference and, as a result, home-field advantage in the second leg of the two-game playoff series against Real Salt Lake.
A win would also give Seattle the third-best overall record in MLS, which has its own potential rewards.
If the Sounders finish with the third-best record in the league, they would host any Eastern Conference team in the MLS Cup except Sporting Kansas City.
A top-three finish would mean also mean Seattle would qualify for the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League if San Jose or Kansas City — the league's top two teams — advances to the MLS Cup.
The top-ranked Earthquakes have already clinched a CCL berth by finishing with the best regular-season record and K.C. has, as well, by winning the U.S. Open Cup. Since MLS is granted four CCL berths, and teams can't double up, one of those would be guaranteed for the Sounders.
With such prizes at stake, Schmid said the Real Salt Lake score Saturday (a 0-0 tie with Vancouver) wouldn't affect the Sounders' preparation or strategy for Sunday's game.
That has filtered down to the players, who the coach said have been "more workmanlike" this week.
"They know we're about to enter the second season, the real season, the business part of the season," Schmid said. "We've got to get down to business and that starts after Sunday. But we've got one more business to take care of before we get to there."
So is the glitter of the upcoming playoffs a distraction heading into Sunday's game? Forward Eddie Johnson, who leads the team with 14 goals, said his main motivation has been treating every game like a playoff game.
"I think I'm at an age in my career where you look back and you want to look at what you've done," he said. "This is a special year to me — 28 years old, a lot more mature as a soccer player. I want to leave a legacy behind and be a part of a team that won something, did something special. I feel like we have an opportunity to do that here in Seattle."
• Midfielder Andy Rose did not travel with the team Saturday due to an adductor strain. Schmid said the rookie should be able to return to practice Tuesday.
• Galaxy star Landon Donovan is listed as questionable with a bone bruise on his left knee but told reporters recently that he'll be available. David Beckham (left ankle soreness) is also listed as questionable.
• Sounders FC's regular-season finale last year was also at The Home Depot Center, but that time midfielder Mauro Rosales suffered a knee injury that kept him out of the playoffs. So has that come back to mind this year?
"When you play, there's always the risk that something might happen," Schmid said. "When you don't play, something could happen at practice. You don't know. You can't go into the game with fear or anything like that."

Hey folks (and Rules Team),
Any thoughts on the timing window(s) in which one may use an ASiS card, Disrupter. It's an Anarch program, inf 1, cost 1, 1 MU, Trash: Prevent a trace. that trace initiates again with a base strength of 0.
So when would a runner be able to use the trash to prevent the trace?
1) When trace triggers but before Corp spends creds to increase trace
2) After Corp spends creds but before Runner spends creds to increase link
3) After Runner spends creds.
Since the word prevent is used as opposed to cancel, or "cause to trace to fail" or similar I'm thinking it would be #1. But I'm not completely firm, as it seems that would make for a weak effect (at least in the current card universe). However, a difference of 4 trace, say on an Ash, could be the difference between a win and loss, so I could see #1 being it too.
The #2 option seems way powerful for the runner as they can make the corp spend enough to cause the trash but then not have enough to get a "reasonable" trace (whatever that might be).
I include #3 for completeness, but I can't think of a time you would trash a program AFTER spending any creds, recurring or not, in a link increase.

Muslim Council condemns sectarian violence in the Muslim world

The Muslim Council of Britain today condemned the ongoing sectarian violence afflicting some countries in the Muslim world. It was exemplified brutally last Thursday through bombings in the Pakistani city of Quetta, killing some 120
, largely belonging to the Shia tradition.
Speaking out against these murders, Farooq Murad, Secretary General of the Muslim Council said: "We condemn, in the strongest possible terms, this horrific sectarian violence, where Muslims are pitted against Muslim.
We are sadly witnessing this ongoing erosion of
values of the dignity of human life and Muslim unity: it is now manifesting itself in countries such as Syria, Iraq,
, Indonesia and Pakistan.
There is no justification for these horrible atrocities whatsoever. We reiterate our message of peace, dialogue and reconciliation in this Islamic month of Rabi ul Awwal, the month the blessed Prophet Muhammad, upon him be peace, was born. He was a mercy to the worlds (Qur'an 21:107). This indiscriminate and brutal violence negates his message.
We call on the perpetrators to reflect on our beloved Prophet's life and immediately cease their violence, persecution and killings.
Farooq Murad added: In the United Kingdom, our Muslim community is blessed in reflecting the rich diversity of the Muslim world. Regardless of school of thought or tradition, British Muslims have come together for the common good. At this time of deep tragedy abroad, let us increase our efforts to promote dialogue and co-operation amongst all communities. Moreover, with so many British Muslims with ties to Pakistan, we call on Pakistan's leaders -- at all levels -- to come together and put an end to the cycle of violence gripping that nation.
Notes to Editors:
1. The Muslim Council of Britain is the UK's largest
Muslim umbrella body with over
500 affiliated national, regional and local
organisations, mosques,

George and I have been married 63 years today. He has been working at the museum since it re-opened April 1 and has a far better outlook now that he is busy again.
We have been in New York, California and Wyoming all in about 5 weeks for close family funerals and that has been wearing emotionally for both of us. After he came back from the library this morning I really wasn't too surprized to see him holding a vase with a single red rose. Been that way ever since our tenth when he said I can't afford to buy a rose for every year we have been married. Doubt that there are even 63 red roses in town |
Follow-Up Postings:
Leone, what a wonderful thing to read on a Monday. I wish both of you many, many more rose years together. And I am equally pleased to read that George is feeling better. Now, enough funerals please. |
Happy Anniversary! That single red rose says more than a big bunch of 63 ever could! Give each other an extra hug from all of us at the GP. :>) |

Happy Anniversary. A hug to both of you. The sky is giving a great drumroll for you and fireworks too. Great that George is feeling better. A big bunch of sunflowers for you. Anneliese |
Happy Anniversary to the both of you!!! Nice to see George is feeling better. |
Happy Anniversary to both - after all those years I'm sure it is going to last (giggle). Single red rose says it all. Glad George is feeling better. Hoping for more babies and weddings and fewer funerals for the near future in you big family. |
Thanks for sharing your Special Day with us, Leone! A single red rose has a lot of impact, as does the history you and George share. Happy Anniversary, and may there be many more happy days like this one! |
Happy Anniversary! (and I'm thrilled he's able to work at the museum again. What great news!) Lisa |
Happy Anniversary to you two! |
I'm 63 years old and I can't imagine being married that long. lol~ Wishing you both a wonderful 63rd Wedding Anniversary and many more to come. |
Happy anniversery! |

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary - and I understand the subject line " Another One". It is the quiet beauty of year after year, rose after rose that makes it special. |
Happy, happy, joy, joy! Such wonderful news about George and also about your anniversary. Enjoy! Karen |
Happy anniversary, stay young at heart. |
Happy anniversary to both of you.63 years, wow.Something to be proud of. |
Happy anniversary to you two. I really is something to be proud of - and here's wishing you and George many more. Really glad that George is feeling much better and able to return to his "work". Mary |

Made this as a compliment to my RageNado fit. Remote SEBOs, Tracking Links, a fair decent Armor tank, and it has the Shield Transporters, plus one TP.
More or less the same Speed, Align. Time and Range of a Tornado. Expected to stay back a bit, (maybe 20km), behind the Tornado. Cloak for survivability, (not much I'll grant lol), and drones for tossing on Interceptors or Frigs that might be a problem. Salvager for obvious reasons, though I'm not sure you'd want to get that close to the gate unless you had additional support, which you'd probably need anyway. The two would probably serve well as a long range Sniper and support, (Remote SEBOs can boost the Tornados Targeting range too, so you could conceivably use longer range ammo effectively.), for a Gatecamp. |
Maybe I just have a sense of tactics that EVE players don't grasp.

To those of you too busy reading about the historic uprisings in the Middle East, let me catch you up really quickly on the ongoing turmoil in the faraway country of Charlie Sheen. The millionaire sitcom star has been publicly self-destructing. Years of alleged substance abuse, marital problems and bizarre behaviors have, apparently, climaxed. Over the past week or so, he has seemingly divided like a cell into multiple versions of himself and simultaneously appeared on every live television talk show currently being produced. But like most modern celebrity scandals, the personal immolation we're witnessing isn't really about the vaguely human celebrity whose antics and flaws and outrageous moral lapses are beamed from dozens of differently shaped boxes directly to our brains.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
