Muslims in Nepal
By arrna Published: 07/30/2010
Muslims are the followers of Prophet Mohammed (POB). Prophet Mohammed was the messenger of Islam. Islam is submission to the will of God Allah and obedience to his law.
Nepali historians believe that the first Muslims settled in Kathmandu during King Ratna Malla's reign in the late 15th century. Kashmiri traders were probably the first Muslims to arrive, followed by Afghans, Persians and even Iraqis. The Raqi Bajar in Indra Chok area gets its name from the Iraqi merchants.
The chaubise kings of west Nepal also employed Afghan and Indian Muslims to train Nepali soldiers to use firearms and ammunition. Ratna Malla's envoy to Lhasa invited Kashmiri Muslims to Kathmandu in an attempt to profit from the rugs, carpets, shawls and woollen goods they traded between Kashmir, Ladakh and Lhasa. The first batch of Muslims came with a Kashmiri saint who built the first mosque, Kashmiri Taquia, in 1524, writes Shamima Siddikan in her book Muslims of Nepal.
Influenced by the system of Mughal courts in Delhi, the Mallas also invited Indian Muslims to work as courtiers and counsellors-leading to rivalry with Newar nobles of the Malla courts. While the Muslim courtiers did not last long and returned to India, other Muslims stayed on. The Mallas also got Indian Muslims from the Mughal Empire to join their courts as musicians and specialists on perfumes and ornaments. Historian Baburam Acharya believes they were also there to protect King Ratna Malla from rebellious relatives and senior court officials.
Following Nepal's unification, King Prithvi Narayan Shah also encouraged Muslim traders to settle down with their families. Besides trade, the Muslims from Afghanistan and India were experts in manufacturing guns, cartridges and canons, while others were useful in international diplomacy because of their knowledge of Persian and Arabic.
Many Muslims, especially Kashmiri traders, are said to have fled to India during the economic blockade that Prithvi Narayan Shah imposed on the Valley. Fearing persecution from a Hindu king due to their religion and their ties with the Mallas, the traders left despite assurances that they would come to no harm. By 1774, only a handful of Kashmiri merchants remained. Even so, Kashmiri traders proved to be a great help during the unification process. Historians say that Prithvi Narayan Shah employed them as spies and informants as they had personal contacts with the Malla rulers. After his victory, he gave them permission to build a mosque (the Kashimiri Mashjid), now near Tri-Chandra Campus.
During Jang Bahadur Rana's regime, a large number of Muslims migrated to the tarai from India fleeing persecution by the British army during the Sepoy Mutiny in 1857. These refugees settled in the terai, selling leather goods or working as agricultural labourers. A senior courtier to Delhi Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar also fled to Kathmandu. Later, he renovated the Jama Masjid and was buried there. During the Sepoy Mutiny, Begum Hazrat, wife of Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of Lucknow also escaped to Kathmandu via Nepalganj and was allowed by Jang Bahadur to take refuge in Nepal. She settled down at the Thapathali Durbar, and later died in Kathmandu and was also buried at the Nepali mosque.
Today four districts of Terai namely Banke, Kapilbastu, Parsa and Rautahat with over fifty percent of Muslim population are now Muslim-majority districts. In five districts namely, Bara, Mahottari, Dhanusha, Sirha and Sunsari Muslims are the second religious majority and in two districts namely Rupandehi and Sarlahi they constitute as a significantly third religious group.
The Muslims of Nepal had always accepted their lower social status as loyal citizens and accordingly maintained a very low and profile under the Hindu Monarchy system of governance. It may be interesting to note that even after their long presence in Nepal during the monarchy there was hardly any significant communal problem in the kingdom. Living in Hindu scriptures-based cultural milieu and related social environment for centuries they accepted the situation as it was.
Some reports suggest that the ISI of Pakistan with a view to make Nepal its hide out for exporting terrorism to India also financed some NGOs to bring demographic imbalance in Terai region by infiltration of Bangladeshi Muslims. The report said, The official figures show that the strength of the Muslim community in Nepal has grown from 2% of the population in 1981 to 3.5 in 1991. Data compiled by the Nepalese Election Commission in connection with the recent general elections indicates that this figure could now have crossed 5% and more even be close to 10%. Steady migration of Bangladesh Muslims to the Terai considerably contributed to this increase. (India Today, June 12, 2000). Today there are 300 madrassas and 343 mosques within 10 k.m. of the boarder in Indian side while 181 madrassas and 282 mosques are in Nepal side. (Dastider). It is said that the Islamist world is quite liberal in financing the NGOs to the insidious growth of the Islamist fundamentalist net work in Nepal.
As per 1991 Census Report Muslims constitutes 3.4 % of the total population of Nepal, though the figure claimed by the Muslim organisations of the country is between 8 to 10 %. (The figure is based on the source: CBS, Population monograph, Kathmandu, 1994 as quoted in Understanding Nepal by Mollica Dastider, Har-Anand Publication, 2007, page80).
Since the government of Nepal did not contest such claim of the Muslim organisations, the figure of 10% appears to be nearer to the factual position. The ethnic structure of Terai region as suggested by Dastider also corroborates it.
Whatever may be the correct figure of Muslims in Nepal, it is something amazing to see how this significant followers of Islam compromised with anti-Shariat (Islamic laws) un-Islamic Hindu environment and lived there peacefully for centuries. Socio-political scientists might have their own analysis but it gives credence to some views that Shariat could be made flexible if it serves the interest of political Islamists.
On September 1, 2004, thousands of demonstrators stormed the main mosque in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, sets furniture and carpet on fire, tore up a copy of Quran and chanted Down with Islam. They were protesting against the killing of 12 Nepalese labourers in Iraq. Police had to open fire to control the crowd. The incident was a signal for the future relation between Hindu and Muslims of the country, who were living peacefully for centuries. Thus ignorance and backwardness are rampant among Nepalese Muslims, and this had led to their forfeiture of their human rights in the country.
Even in the faith that they profess, their knowledge of Islamic principles and culture is very meagre, and they do need guidance and direction in this respect. Many of them are Muslims in name only, but hardly know anything else about Islam as well as society.Nepali Muslim Women

GOSHEN – Missed shots plagued Oldham County in its first two district games, both losses.
The Lady Colonels shot 26 percent in a 47-34 loss at Trimble County last month and 31 percent Jan. 9 in a 48-39 loss to South Oldham.
Staring at a 0-3 District 29 record, OC finally scored some points Friday and picked up a district win.
Senior center Abigail Stewart led the way with 18 points as the Lady Colonels won 59-32 at North Oldham.
BUCKNER – Defensively to offensively, Oldham County clicked in the second half Monday night.
The Lady Colonels outscored Holy Cross (Louisville) 36-16 over the final 16 minutes and left with a 52-42 home win.
OC (8-10) made shots, which allowed it to set its pressure defense. That led to Cougar turnovers and more easy Lady Colonel shots.
OC forced Holy Cross (11-7) into 22 turnovers, most of which came in the second half.
Local police are looking for a man they say made off with more than $6,000 in Apple electronics.
An attorney for Harry "Shane" Mosley is petitioning Oldham Circuit Judge Karen Conrad to suspend the remainder of his nine month sentence, even though he has served less than one month of it.
Attorney Steve Schroering made the motion before Conrad last Thursday, acknowledging he was early on the usual 30-day window to request such a motion, but said he wanted to get it considered before Februrary.
A handful of Oldham County magistrates will add economic development to their focus for the upcoming term.
At the last Fiscal Court meeting, County Judge-Executive David Voegele announced the formation of a new committee focusing on economic development in Oldham County.
The Economic Development Committee will work with the Oldham Chamber and Economic Development to bring new employment and economic opportunity to the county, Voegele said.
The Oldham Chamber and Economic Development will bring together business leaders and legislators to ensure better economic conditions in Oldham County later this month.
On Jan. 22, the Oldham Chamber will host a legislative preview panel to discuss important legislative issues impacting business throughout the Commonwealth.
"One of the most important things a Chamber can do is represent its businesses on important public policy issues," Deana Epperly Karem, Executive Director of Oldham Chamber and Economic Development, said.
The Masters, The Final Four and The Kentucky Derby.
What do all these events have in common?
For one, these are three of the most important sporting events of the year for fanatics all over the world.
But also, these events are part of a grand prize that could be won by any of the 2,000 ticket holders of the La Grange Rotary's 2015 Mega Sports Raffle.
The raffle is for two tickets to seven major sporting events in 2015, including exclusive tickets to the 2015 Masters in Augusta, Ga.
It may be the most affluent county in Kentucky, but that doesn't mean Oldham County is excluded from the perils of the winter season and the hunger epidemic.
Mission Crestwood, which just received its charity status, has served 24,000 hungry and needy people just this year and 76 percent of those people were Oldham County residents.
Jalen Henry cracked up Monday when he was asked how a team might go about guarding his older brother, Jon Jon Henry.
"I really don't know," Jalen said. "I guess you'd have to play him really close, just don't let him get the ball… But I don't think you can stop that, really."
Not many people have stopped Jon Jon Henry this season.

Crucial PC3200
Crucial took top spot in our last round up with their PC3200. Crucial let us know that they wanted to see if their 512MB modules where capable of performing just as well - so they sent us down some sticks to play with. Crucial have been in the memory game a long time and while they simply follow memory as JEDEC approve it, their memory modules are always of the highest quality and always perform as advertised - without fail.
Let's see if Crucial have what it takes to continue holding the crown or will it be taken off top spot? This time around the competition is a lot more aggressive with modules now capable of hitting speeds of DDR500. Let's have a quick look at what Crucial have on offer.
Module Size: 2 X 512 MB
Package: 184-pin LONG DIMM
Naming: DDR PC3200
Speed: 400MHz
Voltage: 2.6
CAS Latency: 3
Crucial have had the same packaging for a long time now and in all honesty if it does the job, why change it? Their memory is shipped in a little cardboard box; on the inside you simply find the memory modules in an anti static bag with padding and a little manual just in case you don't know how to install the memory.
While the packaging Crucial use isn't the most exciting - it's cheap, easy to send and very safe. Let's have a look at the particular modules we are looking at today.
Last time we had the chance to look at Crucial's 256MB modules and since we were so impressed with them Crucial wanted to find out if it was simply the 256MB version or if their whole line of memory was capable of performing just as well.
Like the original sticks, these don't have heat spreaders either. While some memory does benefit from the use of heat spreaders a lot of companies simply use them for looks (read: marketing) more then anything else. When you don't use a heat spreader the price is capable of being lower and the consumer is capable of getting better value for money.
Like last time, these modules are also only rated at CAS3 which is the most relaxed setting that can be used when it comes to memory timing these days. It is common knowledge that the latest line of Canterwood and Springdale motherboards aren't as affected by lower latencies as others, for this reason the difference shouldn't be too major. When it came to testing we ran the modules at CAS 2.5 and the memory was more then capable of doing it - more on that soon.

New International Reader's Version (NIRV) | New International Version (NIV) |
17 So the LORD says, "You have not obeyed me. You have not set your Hebrew slaves free. So now I will set you free," announces the Lord. "I will set you free to be destroyed by war, plague and hunger. I will make all of the kingdoms on earth displeased with you. | 17 "Therefore, this is what the LORD says: You have not obeyed me; you have not proclaimed freedom for your fellow countrymen. So I now proclaim 'freedom' for you, declares the LORD--'freedom' to fall by the sword, plague and famine. I will make you abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth. |

Toss A Teddy Bear at Cincinnati Cyclones Game
CINCINNATI (WKRC) -- Cincinnati Cyclones fans can help out a great cause by bringing a stuffed animal to Saturday night's game and tossing it onto the ice..
It sounds like a game, but it's much more than that. The toss happens after the Cyclones first goal. Cincinnati Police become part of the show as they scramble to retrieve the toys.
Last year, there were two thousand of them. The thousands of teddy bears collected at last year's promotion were all distributed.
Colonel Whalen says gently used stuffed toys are fine. They will be cleaned, packaged and placed in police cars.
The teddy bear toss coincides with Throwback Night, which features eight dollar tickets and dollar hot dogs, pizza, soda and beer.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
My free extension just got approved, so me and some of my friends tried to download it via Magento Connect 2.0 to see if it works… and it doesn't. If you go directly to the extension key URL ( http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community/module-factory-hj/ ), you get a 403 error.
I tried via this web service : http://freegento.com/ddl-magento-extension.php and I get a "failed : cannot get xml" error.
I tried on one of my local magento, with magento connect manager, and I got "community/module: No releases for 'module', skipping"
The last error make me think that there could be a problem with the "-", but I can't change my magento key, and it maybe something else…
Does anyone already got this error ? And, most important, does anyone have an idea to fix it ?
Thank you for your interest in my problem.
I did that… \"Thank you for your contribution. If you are not able to install the extension in your Community Edition install, the issue could relate to having your extension packaged incorrectly. Please verify and resubmit.\"
Not a clue about what could have been done wrong… I keep searching, and I\'ll post the fix if I find one.
I join my package to that post if someone wants to check it. I checked everything. The channel is set to "community", I selected "1.5.0 & later", the release stability is set to "stable"…
I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the "-", so I need Magento team to change that extension key for me as it is locked.
I have to add that I tried to upload manually my package on 1 of my Magento installation, and it works. So it's really a problem with Magento Connect server.
(and this have nothing to do with my problem, but there is a bug in this forum : when you fail the captcha and come back to the "new reply" page, it adds a backslash before every quote)
I reposted my extension ( http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/catalog/product/view/id/15153/s/hj-module-factory-5861/?___store=mc_default_store ) with a new extension key (without any "-") and now it works, so that was the problem.
If a Magento team member read this : it could be good to add a check for "-" when the developer post his extension.

— China's purchasing managers' index — a gauge of business sentiment — rose to 50.3 in July from 50.1 in June. Analysts had expected a modest decline below 50.
— The Labor Department said that the number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits fell 19,000 to 326,000. That was the fewest since January 2008, one month after the Great Recession started in December 2007.
— The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, said its index of manufacturing jumped to 55.4 in July, up from 50.9 in June and well above an expected reading of 51.8. A number above 50 indicates growth.
— Auto companies reported strong sales gains for July. Ford, Chrysler and Nissan each reported U.S. sales growth of 11 percent compared with the same month a year ago.
An index of transportation stocks also rose sharply. Many investors see that sector as a leading indicator for the economy because freight and shipping companies tend to get busier as the economy improves.
The Dow Jones Transportation average jumped 208.26 points, or 3.2 percent, to 6,670.06, led by a surge in Con-way, a Michigan-based freight company that reported earnings Thursday that were far higher than investors expected. Con-way rose $4.34, or 10.5 percent, to $45.79.
The price of crude oil rose $2.86, or 2.7 percent, to $107.89 a barrel. Gold slipped $1.80 to $1,311.20 an ounce. The dollar rose against the euro and the Japanese yen.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose sharply, to 2.72 percent from 2.58 percent late Wednesday. That means investors were selling U.S. government debt securities, possibly over fears that rates will go higher as the economy strengthens and they'll lose more money. When yields rise, the value of bonds falls.
Among stocks making big moves:
—Sprouts Farmers Markets more than doubled on the company's first day of trading, jumping $22.11 to $40.11 — another sign that investors are becoming more comfortable taking on risk.
—Yelp soared $9.70, or 23.2 percent, to $51.50. The consumer review website continued to lose money in its latest quarter, but it sold more ads and drew more visitors.
—Exxon Mobil fell $1.02, or 1.1 percent, to $92.73, after reporting lower earnings as oil and gas production slipped. Profit margins on refining oil also fell.

Yep, and the harbaughs teams are consistent and remain in the playoffs year after year. Tomlins lack of coaching skills and team building are starting to shine through now that cowher men are vanishing. Our team is getting worst. Harbaughs ravens are and have been the king of the afc North and until tomlins strives to improve his game and get the most out of his lazy players, things will remain the same. If you haven't noticed Tomlin lovers, we went from consistently being the king of the afc north to being third place. We are now the Bengals. Raven are now the Steelers and the Bengals are now the ravens. Way to stay on track Tomlin... You the man! You went to two superbowl under cowhers regime and Dick lebeau, now we are an embarrassment only thing we have left is our god of a D coordinator Dick lebeau. When he.go's, well be the browns. You the man Tomlin.... Talk is cheap, start winning or go be a speech writer for a politician.
To be honest... The harbuaghs would each have one superbowl appearance if is wasn't for a simple FLUKE special teams mistake. Harbuaghs will be in contention for Yeats to come. Onky decision I didn't like about the ravens is that they kept Cameron on for so long and handicapped ray rice so much. Now harbuagh has fixed that issue and are putting up more points.

I do have a few things in bloom, and a few ive competely ignored posting as well.. aka crocus and some other daffs and such. Ive been remulching the main garden bed and its taken forever, as Ive trucked in about 5 truckloads of compost so far. But Ive managed to get about 500 daylily seedlings in my new back bed and some other odds and ends done, as well as getting my veggie garden more or less planted. LOTS to do, as we had a week of cooler rainy weather and honestly didnt feel like doing much, had to go on a business trip too, so that didnt help. Daffodill Cheerfulness.. Tulip Apricot Beauty A northwestern Native I just got this last weekend, just planted it today, this was taken while it was still in a pot. Camassia A dwarf Korean Azelea, took 4 years to explode like this, I have two and they both look great this year, just Covered in blooms.

continued After the public-comment period, the board voted to eliminate four positions.
"There is a limit to how far we can push City Council," Brohinsky said. "They provide the majority of our operating budget."
He pointed out that services are being cut in all city departments. Everybody is hurting, he said, and funding sources are drying up.
Brohinsky admitted he voted for something he did not want to do.
"But I don't have a choice."
That did little to appease people such as William Turcotte. He and his wife have been coming to the library since 1997. Their daughter looks forward to the summer reading program.
Turcotte said people rely on the library for books, the Internet and to seek employment.
"These cuts are awful."
Librarian Kelly Sexton wonders how the library will continue to provide the level of service the public has come to expect.
As for Barton, working for the library was a dream job.
"We should have been given a heads-up," she said. "I feel you did us a disservice."

Jan. 31 (Bloomberg) -- Royal Dutch Shell Plc's South African unit said its fuel supply has been constrained by an unscheduled shutdown of the Sapref refinery, the country's largest, which Shell owns with BP Plc.
"Given this situation we continue to operate under a heavily rationed position for our customers across the country and our retail sites are at risk of intermittent stock-outs on certain fuel grades during this period," Shell South Africa spokesman Elton Fortuin said in an e-mailed statement from Johannesburg.
The Sapref refinery, based in Durban, is expected to resume production from mid-February, he said.

MLB players bracing for hikesBy RONALD BLUM
The Associated Press | November 23,2012Team executives and agents wandered into the Agave Sunset lounge at the resort where the general managers meetings were held in Indian Wells, Calif. Four of the six flat-screen televisions were showing election coverage, with the other two turned to sports.
President Barack Obamas victory over Mitt Romney was of as much interest to baseballs money men as the game scores, given the millions of dollars routinely guaranteed in player contracts these days.
As free agents negotiate deals this offseason, tax policy is an area that comes up along with the usual issues. Some players are wrangling for as much money as they can get before the end of the year to avoid a take hike in 2013.
Front-loading would make sense if at all possible as tax rates will definitely go up on January 1st on all high-income taxpayers, agent Greg Genske said in an email. The only question is HOW MUCH will the rates increase????
This much is known for now: Starting Jan. 1, there is an additional 0.9 percent Medicare tax on wages above $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for married couples filing jointly under the federal Affordable Care Act, a rise to 2.35 percent.
In addition, the Bush tax cuts are scheduled to expire at the end of the year, which could raise the highest marginal federal tax rate from 35 percent to 39.6 percent although a deal between Obama and Congress could change that.
Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane figures agents will be on top of the changes but the results of negotiations about the so-called fiscal cliff are unpredictable.
I think if youre hopping around the potential of tax reform, youre probably chasing your tail, Beane said. If they can predict when somethings going to happen, then theyre much further ahead than the lawmakers.
With baseball contracts worth as much as $275 million (Alex Rodriguez) and the major league minimum $480,000, tax policy affects every player who spends most of the season in the big leagues.
All-Star shortstop Jose Reyes, who has a $10 million salary next year, was traded from the Miami Marlins to the Toronto Blue Jays. While Florida has no state income tax, Reyes remains a New York resident from his days with the Mets and had high taxes to begin with. Ontarios provincial tax rises to 11.16 percent on top of a Canadian federal level as high as 29 percent.
Among states with big league teams, income tax rates go as high as 10.3 percent in California and 8.82 percent in New York. At the other end, Florida, Texas and Washington have no state income tax. The top rate in the District of Columbia is 8.95 percent.
I like ours; were a no-tax state, Seattle Mariners general manager Jack Zdurienck said. When we sit down with players, thats a huge benefit. I think any player out there that has an opportunity to play in a no-tax state gets benefits, enormous benefits. We hope that weighs in our favor.
According to an analysis done by a tax lawyer on the staff of agent Scott Boras, a player with a $10 million salary and average deductions who plays in Florida and is a resident of that state will see his taxes rise from $3.45 million this year to $4.09 million next year under current law. If traded to the Blue Jays, that players 2013 tax would rise to $4.27 million. And if dealt to a California team, the tax would go up to $4.4 million.
By moving money from salary into signing bonuses, players can sometimes lower their state tax bills. Shifting money into December this year could reduce federal taxes.
Tax measures are going to be discussed, but change most likely carries compromise on both sides, Boras said. One thing is clear based on the nations ballot totals: Many Americans are split on this subject.
In the end, most free agents choose teams based on where they want to play, not on lowering the tax cut on their income.
Its a factor, maybe even a small factor, agent Craig Landis said. If theres 50 variables, you can now make it a 51st. Its not usually going to be the drive, but its something to consider.
And for teams, only the big spenders need worry.
Beanes Athletics, for instance, had the lowest payroll in the majors last season.

Albany Herald
ALBANY -- Dougherty District Attorney Greg Edwards said Monday that the results of an independent GBI investigation show that Albany Police Officer Eric Strom's use of deadly force was justified in the shooting death last year of Sarah Riggins.
As first reported on www.albanyherald.com, Strom, who has been on administrative duties within the department since the shooting last October, is now officially cleared of any legal wrongdoing, Edwards said.
Reading from a prepared statement to reporters which is available to the public on the Albany Herald Web site, Edwards said that under the circumstances outlined in the investigation, Strom's use-of-force was appropriate.
"As noted, I have received the findings of the GBI investigation and in conjunction with my own observations at the scene and information I have also gathered, I have determined that this instance of an officer involved shooting does not involve any criminal liability on the part of the officer and does not require consideration by the grand jury ...," he said.
Despite the decision, Riggins' daughter, Katherine, said she still believes that her mother didn't have to die in front of the West Gordon Avenue residence.
"All we (the family) want is justice," Riggins said, openly weeping. "There isn't anyone that can make me believe that she would come out of the house with a gun and a knife and shoot at a police officer. It just wasn't her to do something like that."
Katherine Riggins says she spoke to her mother just a few minutes before the argument that is believed to have triggered the incident began and that she sounded far from being distraught or upset.
Sarah Riggins was shot and killed by Strom after Edwards says that she exited the home brandishing a .357-caliber handgun and a knife, refused to drop the weapons when instructed to by the officer, and then fired at Strom.
Police were at the home after being dispatched to a report of a domestic dispute which was called in to 911 by Riggins' boyfriend, Eddie Anderson, after Riggins threatened to kill Anderson and his two grandchildren, Edwards said.
Edwards said that the GBI report shows that Riggins fired at least once, which is supported by a shell casing found at the scene and a bullet that was recovered from a vehicle nearby.
Strom, Edwards said, fired three times, but struck Riggins only once.
Toxicology results contained within the report revealed that Riggins had both cocaine and alcohol in her system at the time of the shooting, although the concentration of the substances was not immediately made public.
"It's the underlying issues that we should focus on going forward," Edwards said. "Domestic violence, drug use and an inherent distrust of police are all issues that contributed to this case and should be addressed in the future."
That distrust, Edwards said, led to the dissemination of mischaracterizations and lies centered on Strom, which included erroneous statements that Strom had been involved in a shooting in another town and that effects of his previous military service played a role in Riggins' death.
While he said it appears that no criminal law was broken by those who flocked to cameras that night and claimed Riggins was unarmed and trying to surrender when she was shot, he did say the public and the media should exercise good judgment under such circumstances going forward.
"There is a criminal penalty for a person intentionally giving false information to law enforcement; however, there is no general criminal penalty for a person giving inaccurate or false information to a media outlet," Edwards said. "Media outlets, however, must determine for themselves what they are going to present because there may or may not be certain civil ramifications on what is presented."
Katherine Riggins contended Edwards -- who said Monday that he was at the scene within minutes of the shooting -- was too close to the case to make an objective and unbiased determination and said that he should have passed the decision on the case to someone outside the county.
"He knows the people who were out there. They work together and if the APD looks bad, he's going to look bad," Riggins said. "So he should've stepped back and let someone else make that decision."
Katherine Riggins, who said that the family is considering a wrongful death lawsuit against the city, said that if local officials simply speak what she perceives to be the truth, then the public distrust of law enforcement would start to wane.
To that end, Edwards said he is actively promoting public access to Sarah Riggins' 5-inch-thick case file through Georgia's Open Records laws so that the public can see the evidence for themselves. Following the news conference Tuesday, The Herald asked for an estimate on the cost of obtaining the file but there was no immediate response.
Albany Police Chief John Proctor is expected to reinstate Strom to street duty once he reviews Edward's findings.

Who doesn't remember their first bike? Perhaps it was a trusty hand-medown or brand new with a banana seat and streamers you found under the tree Christmas morning. Bikes continue to evolve in the years since Frenchman Ernest Michaux introduced the modern bicycle in 1861. Technology has made bikes lighter and faster, but the memory of that fi rst bike remains the same.
"The spirit of adventure is still there, whether you're finding a road you haven't explored before or hitting a new pothole in the city of Mesa," says Ken Patterson, co-owner of Pat's Cyclery in Mesa.
Mesa was a small town when Bill Woolf got his fi rst bike.
It was a green Schwinn with fenders and training wheels. He learned to ride it in front of his home on Temple Street.
"The thing about having a bicycle was that your bicycle was a means of transportation," says Woolf.
But the real bike he explored with, the one he purchased with the help of his father, was a purple Schwinn traveler from Pat's Cyclery.
"My Schwinn Traveler was the one I had the most adventures on," says Woolf, who was 11 when he got that bike. "We'd ride our bikes from one side to the other because it was a small town. That was an OK thing to do back then. Mesa was a different place. We'd ride to the hobby shop where we could get model airplanes. Pat's bicycle shop was on South Macdonald, and Mesa was surrounded by farms and ditches."
Woolf delivered the Mesa Tribune on that Schwinn bike and let his older brother, Mac, use it in a 25-mile ride to get a merit badge.
"I was too young to get the cycling merit badge, so my dad made me loan it to him," says Woolf, now 60. "It didn't seem fair."
Now Woolf can be found riding his Trek bike through Usery Mountain Regional Park.
"You're out there, and it's good thinking time," says Woolf.
July 4, 1978, was truly independence day for Andrew Cope.
On his fifth birthday, the Mesa resident and his twin sister received new Schwinn bikes. Cope's was red and had no training wheels.
"I had that bike for a good 10 years, and it was my getaround-town bike," says Cope, who grew up in Los Alamos, N.M. "I would ride around the cul-de-sac, and I would keep crashing on my left knee."
Like so many adults, Cope put his cycling days behind him after high school. This year Cope became one of the fortunate few who rediscover the joy of that first bike.
Cope, a triathlete, recently bought his first adult bike — a Fuji Aloha triathlon bike.
Scott Hembree was 8 when he got a new bike to call his own.
"I had taken home a bike that was not mine, and my parents figured it was about time," says Hembree, the manager of Global Bikes in Gilbert. Nestled under the Christmas tree alongside his bike was a Superman costume. Hembree put the costume on and flew out of the house, ready for adventure.
"Off I went on my bike in my new duds, the cape flying behind me," says Hembree of Chandler. "I hit an uneven part of the sidewalk and went straight over the bars just like Superman."
Adventures in cycling became part of Hembree's life. He raced BMX for a few years and won two national championships in 1979 and 1980.
"Twenty-five years later I ride and race with the masters to stay fit and sane," says Hembree, 46. "You never know where a kid's first bike will take them."
How to pick the perfect first bike
Now that the holiday season has begun, parents are scouring bike shops and "bigbox" stores such as Target and Wal-Mart for the perfect first bike.
Shopping for a bike as if it were just another toy is a mistake many parents make, says Ryan Padgitt, a bike mechanic and salesman with Landis Cyclery in Tempe. Spend a little extra money, and your child's bike will last longer.
"Unfortunately, the majority of parents go to big-box stores, and you definitely get what you pay for in terms of quality and durability," says Padgitt, who says advantages of buying that bike from a bike shop are that a mechanic will assemble it, the bikes are better quality and some shops offer free or greatly reduced services.
Whether you buy the bike in a shop or at Wal-Mart, here are guidelines to help you find a perfect first bike:
• Don't buy a bigger bike in the hopes that your child will grow into it.
"It's just as important for a child to be properly fit to a bike as it is for an adult," says Padgitt. Choosing a bike that's wellmade and sized correctly will ensure that the bike doesn't sit in the garage waiting for your child to grow into it.
Your child doesn't have to outgrow the bike. Adjustable seats and handlebars should add years to the longevity of a bike. Higherend children's bikes such as Trek's Mystic (above) for girls and Jet (top of page) for boys feature interchangeable parts so the bike grows with your child. $119 to $260.
"The bike grows with the child so parents aren't having to invest in a new bike every year," says Eric Bjorling, spokesman for Trek Bicycles in Waterloo, Wis.
• Sturdy construction is essential for safety, says Padgitt. A good rule to go by is to check if the bike supports your weight. Make sure the frame is welded together.
• Training wheels are standard on 12-inch and 16-inch bikes. Check to make sure the bike you buy has an all-steel construction and is securely fastened.
• Get a tubed tire, says Padgitt. They handle better and are more forgiving.
• Talking your child into knee and elbow pads will be difficult, but don't let them ride off without a helmet. Companies such as Giro and Bell make colorful helmets for kids that sell from $29.99 to $39.99. The helmet should be certified by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Look for the initials CPSC on the label.

Retinal detachment
Retinal detachment
Retinal detachment is a separation of the light-sensitive membrane in the back of the eye (the retina) from its supporting layers.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The retina is the clear tissue in the back of the eye. It helps you see the images that are focused on it by the cornea and the lens.
- The most common type of retinal detachments are often due to a tear or hole in the retina. Eye fluids may leak through this opening. This causes the retina to separate from the underlying tissues, much like a bubble under wallpaper. This is most often caused by a condition called posterior vitreous detachment. However, it may also be caused by trauma and very bad nearsightedness. A family history of retinal detachment also increases your risk.
- Another type of retinal detachment is called tractional detachment. This is seen in people who have uncontrolled diabetes, previous retinal surgery, or have chronic inflammation.
When the retina becomes detached, bleeding from area blood vessels may cloud the inside of the eye, which is normally filled with vitreous fluid. Central vision becomes severely affected if the macula, the part of the retina responsible for fine vision, becomes detached.
- Bright flashes of light, especially in peripheral vision
- Blurred vision
- Floaters in the eye
- Shadow or blindness in a part of the visual field of one eye
Signs and tests
Tests will be done to check the retina and pupil response and your ability to see colors properly. These may include:
- Electroretinogram (a record of the electrical signals in the retina produced when you see things)
- Fluorescein angiography
- Intraocular pressure measurement
- Ophthalmoscopy
- Refraction test
- Retinal photography
- Test to determine your ability to see colors properly
- Visual acuity
- Slit-lamp examination
- Ultrasound of the eye
Most people with a retinal detachment will need surgery. Surgery may be done immediately or after a short period of time.
Surgery may not be needed if you do not have symptoms or have had the detachment for a while.
Some types of retinal detachment surgery can be done in your doctor's office.
- Lasers may be used to seal tears or holes in the retina before a retinal detachment occurs.
- If you have a small retinal detachment, the doctor may place a gas bubble in the eye. This is called pneumatic retinopexy. It helps help the retina float back into place. The hole is sealed with a laser.
More severe detachments may require surgery in a hospital operating room. Such procedures include:
- Scleral buckle to gently push the eye wall up against the retina
- Vitrectomy to remove gel or scar tissue pulling on the retina, used for the largest tears and detachments.
Tractional retinal detachments may be watched for a while before surgery. If surgery is needed, a vitrectomy is usually done.
See also: Retinal detachment repair
Expectations (prognosis)
How well you do after a retinal detachment depends on the location and extent of the detachment and early treatment. If the macula was not damaged, the outlook with treatment can be excellent.
Most retinal detachments can be repaired, but not all of them. You may not get back all of your vision after surgery.
A retinal detachment causes loss of vision. Surgery to repair it may help restore some or all of your vision.
Calling your health care provider
A retinal detachment is an urgent problem that requires medical attention within 24 hours of the first symptoms.
Use protective eye wear to prevent eye trauma. Control your blood sugar carefully if you have diabetes. See your eye care specialist at least yearly, especially if you have risk factors for retinal detachment.

*Mix in milk until a soft dough forms.
*Drop by tablespoons onto Silpat or parchment paper.
*Make a well in each biscuit and fill with favorite jam.

Are there any magazines for clay? I know the free online Polyzine is a monthly deal but what about magazines? |

Not that I know of as far as a national magazine. I get Jewelry Crafts and Bead & Button on subscription. They regularly have poly clay projects in them. Ornament also has some occasional poly clay articles. There are lots of free poly clay projects on the web, what a blessing! There is also "The PolyinforMer"- a newsletter for the National Poly Clay Guild with lots of good info. It is free with a yearly Guild membership ($25). |
Here is a link that might be useful: PolyinforMer
Isn't that strange? Wonder why some of the powerhouses.....Kato, Mcquire, Heaser, Carlson, Roche don't get together and publish a monthly? Maybe their plate is too full already. Maybe that would detract from their work or they would become toooo busy to be artists. |
Just checked out NPCG site.....I'm a novice with a lot of interest. Do newbies join this organization? |
- Posted by ArtsyCraftsy (My Page) on Wed, Feb 13, 02 at 19:19
Rosie- in my opinion there is surely enough interest to sustain a publication on Polymer clay. You have to have a good printing house and it is pretty much a full time effort to publish anything of quality. Say, with the level of Expressions, or the Somerset publications. You just touch the cover and the feel of the paper lets you know this is a good magazine. There are publishers that deal with niche market hobbies & I wish one of them would get on board. Anyway, the guild is for anybody regardless of skill level. As long as you love PC you can join. Even my personal favorite, the incomparable Kathleen Dustin was a beginner at one time, lol! Karen |
Thanks for the info.....think I will. |

Hi, I really would like to get into the polymer clay beads, but am concerned about the safety issues, just as needing a seperate oven and the fumes. any suggestions? thanks, Linda |
- Posted by clayandartscraps (My Page) on Tue, Dec 27, 11 at 23:50
I make beads and little miniature sculptures. I do have a small countertop baking oven just for my clay. I've been baking it in the kitchen for about three years. I've never smelled fumes or had any trouble with it. I do dedicate the tools I use JUST to the clay. I don't use it for anything that would be eaten on or any drink containers. I've read you have to be careful about scorching it, but if you cover it with aluminum foil while it's baking, (just build a little tent over it, I've never had a problem. |

Champagne Sabayon
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup sparkling wine
- Poached Pears, recipe follows
Fill a 1-quart saucepan half-full with water over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
Place all ingredients in a medium stainless steel bowl and whisk until well combined. Place the bowl over the saucepan and continue to whisk until the sauce is thick and doubled in volume, 3 to 5 minutes. The sauce should be thick enough so that it will support a ribbon of sauce trailing off the end of the spoon when lifted.
Serve warm over poached pears in small bowls or decorative glasses.
Poached Pears:12 pears
1 bottle sweet white wine, (Moscato, Muscat, Riesling, etc.)
1 vanilla bean, split
Cut a small "x" on the bottom of each pear. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and set up a large bowl of ice water. Add the pears to the boiling water and cook for 15 to 30 seconds, just to loosen skin. Remove and immediately plunge into the ice water. Slip the skins off the pears. Halve and remove the pits.
Combine the wine and vanilla bean in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the pears, cover and simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes, or just until the pears are tender.
Remove the pears from the poaching liquid and chill. Top with the sabayon.
Yield: 6 servings

Only problem was the pears got a little brown during storage in tupperware overnight but still tasted great the next day. May try lemon to minimize the browning. Or maybe this is a same day dessert hmm....

Know how to use "fewer" and "less"? Find out.
c.1300, ballede, probably, with Middle English -ede adjectival suffix + Celtic bal "white patch, blaze" especially on the head of a horse or other animal (from PIE root *bhel- (1) "to shine, flash, gleam;" see bleach (v.)). Cf., from the same root, Sanskrit bhalam "brightness, forehead," Greek phalos "white," Latin fulcia "coot" (so called for the white patch on its head), Albanian bale "forehead." But connection with ball (n.1), on notion of "smooth, round" also has been suggested. Bald eagle first attested 1680s; so called for its white head.
bald (bôld)adj. bald·er, bald·est Lacking hair on the head.

I totally understand how you feel as far as summer is concerned. If it makes you feel any better it sucks being a chef in the summer. Ovens on at 400+ degrees all day long. Grill on full blast. Steamer hissing as it steams food. Tilt skillet cooking mass quantities of food. Giant steam kettle cooking pasta. Wearing long pants, t-shirt, chef jacket, socks, shoes, and on top of all that an apron and hat to hold all of the heat in. So, like you I await fall and winter.....please hurry!!
We've had two weeks of triple digit heat indexes, and the freaks are off the leash. Have you responded to:
Woman takes a beating, but won't surrender her beer
Comments (93) Recommend (14)
The Wichita Eagle
WICHITA She was beaten so badly she ended up with two black eyes _ but she didn't turn loose of her beer.
Her assailant, meanwhile, ended up being thrown into the Little Arkansas River.
It all unfolded at about 4 p.m. Thursday in the 400 block of West Central, police said, when a 49-year-old woman was walking along the river on a sidewalk.
She had just purchased a can of "high gravity" beer, and a 30-year-old homeless man wanted it.
He tried to take it from her, she refused, and he began beating her on the face and head. He also kicked her _ but she refused to surrender the beer.
A second homeless man, 41, saw what was going on and came to the woman's aid, police said. He pulled the attacker away from her and scuffled with him, eventually throwing him into the river next to the sidewalk.
Both the victim, who lives in north Wichita, and her assailant were taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Police Capt. Darrell Atteberry says the woman pulled into the driveway of a home around 8:20 p.m. Wednesday, where she got out and urinated in the yard. He says she then slapped her 3-year-old son several times before driving to a second home, where she tried in vain to run over a man.
Police say from there she went to a third home and ran over a mailbox before being stopped in front of a fourth residence.
Atteberry says she was booked on preliminary charges of aggravated assault, child endangerment, child abuse, urinating in public, transporting an open container, drunken driving and possession of marijuana.
Two young children riding with her were taken into protective custody.

Yeah, I was taking a class in the Michigan UP one summer. I thought wow, this is pretty nice area, the Great Lakes are awesome, and it's much cooler in Summer than Missouri.
Then when I found out that the reason the shoulders of the highway are as wide as the highway itself was so they have a place for snow plows to pile all the snow in Winter, I kind of lost my desire to live there full time. Plus, the Michigan economy is in the toilet. No jobs anywhere up there.

Does Orlando even have winter? I thought you guys had rainy season and summer. I lived in Pensacola for 2 years and I never remember it dropping below 50, but I sure as heck remember feeling like I just got out of a sauna every time I spent more than oh...15 seconds outside.

Personally, I'll take 100*F over any of those single digit temps we had last winter! I just don't *do* cold!

Headed to the mtns for 4 days starting in the morning. Gonna try to beat the heat for a while. I work in an un-air-conditioned warehouse unloading a trailer or more full of bread. The bread at the bakery runs over the top of the stacks of bread. The "bread dust" falls on top of the stacks. Guess what happens when you tip a stack back on a hand truck. It's 95 degres, the fan barely works, I have sweat running in places I can't mention, and top it all off with getting covered in bread dust. I get home feeling like a cheese stick, dipped, breaded and fried! Off to the Smokies. It's hiking, elk, and trout for me and the family for a few days. If the heat does follow me, I'm jumping in a mountain creek to cool off.

I hate cold weather. I'll take it 90F and 90% humidity for 365 days. If I'm not sweating, I'm not living.
The preceding post may contain sarcasm; it's just better that way. However, it is still intended with construction and with the Love of my L-rd Y'shua.

I'm from Ohio as well and agree with the original poster about the extreme heat and humidity we have been experiencing lately. My favorite time of year is Fall, but I do like the change of all four seasons. I don't even mind the snow in winter, just keep the temperature at 30 and up. That single digit stuff is just nuts.
What are you complaining about sixto old buddy, its going to be 99 and high humidity here in NC today and I have to make an all day inspection on a massive standing seam metal roof at the new terminal out at the RDU Airport. The roof panel will be about 140 degrees........try that on for size.

I'll keep the heat thanks
I'll even deal with Michigan's Orange Barrel Season.
Boating season isn't ever long enough and it's been a good year so far.
Every trip out I've either had a nice size bass or muskie join me in the boat.
It would be better if the hubby wasn't working 7 days a week, and we could get out a little more, but I'll take it.

I am south of you in West Virginia, Sixto and it has been hot, humid and just plain nasty this summer. I have to work outside in it too and I can definitely understand your feelings so rant on, Brother!
On the flipside, our winter last year was the coldest and longest one we've had for a few years. It is just the extremes in the weather that I hate to deal with.
