The fight to raise funds for those in need gathers people together in the Balkan countries.

The mission to minimise poverty is among the universal issues facing citizens across the Balkans.
Those who need the most help often live on the social margins, and in the past two decades of transition in the region that segment of society has not always had proper institutional protection. But numerous charity organisations have been working to help.
High unemployment and difficult economic conditions have made charity work more challenging in recent years, but not due to a lack of willing donors.
"When it comes to the global economic crisis impact, there is no doubt it affects all parts of society. But the interesting thing is that as much as the crisis is intensive, the number of humanitarian efforts organised by various associations is bigger, but their chances of raising funds is lesser," Nerka Jugo-Ahmic, secretary of the International Women's Club of Sarajevo, told SETimes.
International Women's Clubs, comprised of foreign embassy employees and their spouses, sponsor annual charity bazaars across the region. Food and other items are sold as the embassies provide a unique experience for the public, allowing local residents to gain a better insight into the heritage of other countries.
"Sometimes, it was just one bazaar, for years … but now we have many more efforts, activities, even happening at the same time," Jugo-Ahmic said. "If we count on the same visitors/buyers, all of us work more, but earn less."
The Sarajevo club has existed since 1997, and charity bazaars are its basic fundraising source. Thanks to embassies and NGOs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the club, after three years of fundraising and planning, finished the Šareni Park project, the first playground in Sarajevo that includes attractions for all children, including those with special needs.
"This playground represents a fine example of teamwork, including the full co-operation of the municipality, school and our club," Brankica Topić, president of the International Women's Club of Sarajevo, told SETimes.

"But, it is very important to involve as many organisations and people who are willing to contribute to the community through voluntary work in areas which are already and for long time are a problem. The poverty and human need for help is growing on daily basis," Topic added.
A club-sponsored charity bazaar has been held in Belgrade for 12 years, raising funds to help the less-fortunate.
"Ambassadors and their staff and hundreds of volunteers make the annual Charity Bazaar an unforgettable experience for thousands of local people who attend it every year," Ann Magill Pesic, the Honorary Irish Consul in Serbia, told SETimes.
"All of the money raised at the Bazaar goes to charity. In 2012, there were 11 projects funded to assist children, people with special needs, vulnerable elderly, education for Roma children, employment opportunities for vulnerable women, single mothers, and to purchase some needed equipment for Tirsova Children's Hospital and the gynecological department of the hospital in Pozerevac."
The International Women's Club of Zagreb is also trying to help women's and children's causes, the physically or socially deprived and elderly people. The club designated funds it raised in 2012 for a new homeless shelter.
The association Most from Split participated in the effort to help homeless persons.
"We managed the network of homeless shelters for the whole country and this has marked 2012, as well as our struggle for new spaces for new shelters," Đordana Barbarić, Most president, told SETimes. "In 2013 we will have the same aim -- the struggle for shelters, which could be more beautiful but they should be enough for all who sleep under the open sky."

Other charity events are also popular in the region.
The Open Heart Street, held each year on January 1st in downtown Belgrade since it launched in 1988, is a traditional humanitarian gathering of citizens, artists and officials. Proceeds have gone to B92 Fund's humanitarian campaign "Battle for the Babies."
This year, the event aimed to raise funds for the purchase of five CTG units, which are used for measuring the heart rate in newborns. According to B92, more than 10,700 euros were raised.
Every year, Open Heart collects funds from the sale of Christmas decorations at the event. In past years, the organisation donated funds to fight childhood cancer and to help children living and working on the streets.
In Montenegro, corporate support is a significant part of charity activities. Celebic, a construction company, contributes to social progress by participating in reconstruction of schools and hospitals.
"These activities are very important for us and we have to budget for them," Maja Krstajic, public relations and marketing manager for Celebic, told SETimes.
"Even in situations when we have to cut costs due to recession or other money issues, the budget for this must be there. Being there and helping people need is something special and indescribable," Krstajic said.

(KMOV.com) – An O'Fallon, Mo. police detective was arrested Friday after authorities said he stole drugs that were evidence for an investigation.
35-year-old Luke A. Smyka has been charged with two counts of felony stealing and two counts of felony possession of a controlled substance.
Police said they were keeping hydrocodone and methadone as evidence, when an evidence specialist noticed each bottle of medication had been tampered with. According to authorities, Smyka removed the medication from the evidence packaging and kept it for his personal use. Police believe Smyka then replaced the stolen pills with different medication.
Authorities said Smyka later admitted to stealing the drugs because he is addicted to pain killers.
Bond has been set at $5,000.

No, it wasn't in the Middle East, but it did involve Boston's last remaining immigrant-era shul. It seems the long-standing beef between the people of Beacon Hill and Suffolk University has finally been stomped, or at least temporarily squashed.
The deal was thus: Suffolk University agreed to a far reaching "non-expansion zone" covering nearly all of the Beacon Hill neighborhood, and also the disputed "Bowdoin Strip" between Bowdoin St. and Tremont St.
The school also said it would limit enrollment to 5,000 students for the next decade, which, in conjunction with a new 12-story dormitory relocating undergrads from the rathole apts scattered across the Hill, should collectively reduce blood-pressures in the region by several millimeters of mercury.
In return, the people of Beacon Hill signed off of a series of existing expansion plans, none of which are in the Beacon Hill architectural district, and most of which are entirely non-residential and surrounded by similarly-sized buildings.
Though the Esplanade behind the Flat of the Hill remains unprotected, it's located some distance from the rest of the University, and seems an unlikely candidate for new facilities. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal for residents, but I bet the Beacon Hill Times will still find a way to complain.
41 Revere Street
Beacon Hill, MA 02114
1 Bed, 1 Bath
310 sq. ft.
A FSBO! No pictures, but no complaints—I found it on Craigslist, too. Definitely the sort of place that will look much better with the Suffolk students absorbed into a new dining hall.
23 Brimmer Street #3
Beacon Hill, MA 02114
2 Beds, 2 Baths
1,050 sq. ft.
Now this is a gorgeous photoset, but brownstones generally aren't made out of brick. Use that, and the possible-if-unlikely threat of Suffolk builing a dorm that blocks out your river view to talk these guys down.
12 Walnut Street #3
Beacon Hill, MA 02114
1 bed, 1 bath
966 sq. ft.
I can see, back when expansion was looming everywhere, paying a mere $700 a square foot a block from the State House. But now? I smell bid war.

With the growing problem of West Nile Virus in Southern Florida we have all become painfully aware that mosquito bites are more than a nuisance. In fact, mosquitoes have had a great impact throughout the world in terms of disease and are responsible for very serious illnesses like malaria, dengue fever and encephalitis. Mosquitoes are responsible for more human deaths than any other insect which is why government agencies are constantly monitoring and tracking diseases like West Nile Virus. Controlling mosquitoes around your property is very important to lower your risk and to simply enjoy your outdoor space.
Prevention is key and the single most important thing that a homeowner can do to reduce mosquitoes around his or her property is to eliminate standing water. It take approximately one week for mosquitoes to breed in undisturbed standing water. Water like this can occur in some unlikely places or ones that you can easily overlook such as: bird baths, clogged gutters, flowerpots, baby pools and more. Do a thorough inspection around your property to check for sources of standing water to eliminate breeding mosquitoes.
Did you know that only the female mosquito will drink your blood, as the male mosquito does not require blood? Mosquitoes, in general, do not need blood to live, as they actually feed on nectar. The female needs blood to help in the process of laying her eggs. Once the eggs are laid, a female mosquito will seek out more blood in order to lay more eggs. She will do this throughout her short life span, which lasts about two weeks.
Amco can help to control mosquitoes on your property. There are many methods that we use for mosquito control. Depending on the situation, source reduction (e.g. removing stagnant water), biocontrol (e.g. importing natural predators such as dragonflies), trapping, and/or insecticides to kill larvae or adults may be used.

PKU is Recessive, Not Dominant
Name: Sandy P. Status: Student Age: 20s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: July 2003
Like PKU, most neuropsychological disorders with a major genetic component are linked to recessive genes. Why are they rarely linked to dominant genes?
Because most of the time you have another "good" copy of the gene to compensate. For instance, if the protein coded for by a gene is needed only in small amounts, one gene producing the protein is enough to get by. Sometimes when an organism is heterozygous, half the amount gives you a reduced effect, i.e., pink snapdragons result from a flower that is half red, half white (no color). The definition of a dominant trait is one that when present, its effect is seen. In one type of dwarfism the gene codes for a protein necessary in making cartilage, which helps to elongate the bones. When one copy of the "bad" gene is present it makes no protein. The other copy is normal, so only half of the protein is made, and the person has shorter than normal long bones. If both copies are dominant, no cartilage is made and this is incompatible with life, so the embryo is miscarried. (This is also why two dwarfs have a 25% chance of having a full size offspring-all dwarfs are heterozygous-at least for this type of dwarfism.) In the case of Huntington disease, the dominant copy of the gene interferes with the normal, recessive copy so its effect is seen.

ROCHESTER — A gas leak caused the Lilac Mall to be evacuated for almost an hour Tuesday.According to Fire Capt. Steve Johnson, the gas leak came from two air handling units on the roof, above the main corridor just outside of Kmart and Papa Gino's Pizzeria.The evacuation took place around noon on Tuesday, after a customer reported smelling gas, said Ellen Paquette, manager of the Lilac Mall. The report of the smell was made to Lilac Mall management, which then notified the Fire Department.Fire officials called for evacuation as soon as they got to the scene and started smelling gas, said Johnson.Kmart assistant manager Jinja Rachkoskie estimated that 200 customers at the mall, about 70 to 80 of whom were from Kmart, were evacuated in a fast and orderly fashion."We were pretty busy," said Rachkoskie, who said most of the customers had driven from the mall after the evacuation. "The parking lot was full, of course (now) they're gone."Two Fire Department engines were on site for about an hour, as the gas leak was being investigated. Officials from Unitil, which provides propane to the Lilac Mall, were also on scene, running their meters along with fire officials, to find the location of the leak.Johnson said it took about a half-hour to 45 minutes to locate the leak.

Concierge.com's insider take:
City-center Boston Common is the nation's oldest public park. Cattle grazed here between 1634 and 1830, but today, the rolling green hills and bench-lined paths—which are being spruced up in an ongoing renovation—are populated with sunning and strolling Bostonians of every stripe. Kids frolic in the fountain of the shallow Frog Pond during the summer; in winter it becomes a picturesque ice-skating rink. The adjacent Public Garden is more formally landscaped, with flower plantings, a statue of George Washington on horseback, and a pond where the famous pedal-powered Swan Boats operate from mid-April through mid-September. It's one of America's most scenic public places. A beloved bronze sculpture of baby ducks on parade is in the northeast corner of the park, inspired by Robert McCloskey's children's classic, Make Way for Ducklings. Both parks are good places for a picnic lunch. Cute sandwich shops line Charles Street; local favorite Finagle-a-Bagel is directly across from Boston Common (129 Tremont St.; 617-426-3300), Chacarero, in Downtown Crossing, serves up Chilean sandwiches of chicken or beef with Muenster cheese, string beans, tomato, avocado spread, and hot sauce (426 Washington St.; 617-542-0392; closed weekends), and

Colin Cowherd fell off the ND bandwagon this morning.
Oh well. He is a good example of why fans should not pay much attention to pundits and broadcasters. He talked the Irish up preseason for much of the same reasons we, the fans, thought would eventually happen. And so far, against what Jeff Sagarin ranks as the toughest schedule in the country, the Irish have struggled, while still managing a 3-1 record. So as fast as the Irish have not lived up to expectations so far this season, they could possibly make their way back to the form they had last year. But don't fool yourself. If that were to happen, everybody would then say it was because of the cupcake schedule the Irish now face until Thanksgiving weekend.
Speaking of the schedule, I couldn't help but notice the headline on Drudge Report that said the Irish will now play the worlds easiest schedule from here on out.
Okay, it wasn't on Drudge, but the play that this is getting is wide and far throughout sports bureaus in newsrooms across the country. If any of your friends choose to remind you that the Irish schedule softies and never play anybody tough, kindly remind them of the following blockbuster matchups.
- West Virginia vs. Marshall, Eastern Washington, East Carolina
- Ohio State vs. Northern Illinois, Bowling Green
- Georgia vs. Western Kentucky, UAB
- Michigan vs. Central Michigan, Ball State
- Texas vs. North Texas, Rice, Sam Houston State
I was watching the Penn State vs. OhioState game on Saturday.
Bonnie Bernstein might be the best looking sideline reporter there is.
So I was watching Bonnie Bernstein on Saturday.
I was told there were a couple teams playing football on the same channel. Hmmm…
Am I the only one not bothered by Brent Musburger or Bob Davie?
Or Pat Haden or Mike Tirico or [insert play-by-play or color commentator]. I think most people agree that Kirk Herbstriet is across the board, one of the best at his job. But these other guys seem to really tick people off. Sure they might say some dumb stuff every now and then but so what. They have to constantly be in a conversation for anywhere between three to four hours. I don't actually think they are intentionally trying to be negative towards our team or any others. With some, thrends are easier to spot. For instance, if you truly pay attention, Brent Musburger is a frontrunning broadcaster. If your team is up, he will talk you up and talk the other team down and vice versa. I don't think he (and most for that matter) have an agenda. And Bob Davie, I think he automatically starts off with negative points to most Irish fans for obvious reasons. But I think he genuinely tries to be objective and honest. And sometimes we get very ironic statements like when this past Saturday, he spoke about, "how Spartan Stadium is a different place at night than it is during the day."
During the commercials of ND/MSU, I switched over to ABC to catch USC/Arizona.
Is it me or should Dan Fouts stick to color commentary. He is HORRIBLE at play-by-play. However, if Dan Fouts doing play-by-play means that Keith Jackson stays retired, then Dan Fouts is the greatest play-by-play guy in the history of sports.

I have never heard anyone complain about Pat Hayden. I think he's fine. I also agree that commentators must talk constantly for 3 or 4 hours and should therefore be given some slack if they say something less than thoughtful.
Joe commented on October 3rd, 2006 at 5:47 pm
Colin Cowherd is an idiot! That guy never shuts up.
Menotti commented on October 11th, 2006 at 7:08 pm
I'd definitely give the benefit of the doubt to most of the commentators and analysts out there (yeah, even Bob Davie) with the exception of Michael Wilbon, who has openly admitted that he hates ND on PTI before, and the intolerable Mark Mays. Mays, who reacts with more negative emotion and fervor than any other commentator/analyst everytime someone says something positive about ND, cannot be considered an objective analyst when it comes to ND or USC. At the same time, however, Lou Holtz obviously favors the Irish, but unlike Mays, he's not an anal putz when someone makes a prediction that he doesn't agree with. Down with Mark Mays!

State education dept. reviewing schools for 'state partnership'
OKLAHOMA CITY - The Oklahoma Department of Education is preparing to review the 10 lowest-performing schools in the state.
Officials say the control on up to 10 low-performing schools could be transferred to a "state partnership."
Officials say these schools are on the priority list, which includes the bottom 5 percent of low-performing schools across the state. Both Tulsa and Oklahoma City are likely to appear at least once on the list.
The goal is to transform these schools, called C3 schools, into institutions that produce students who are "college, career and citizen ready."
The C3 list will undergo "intensive partnership" between the Department of Education and local school districts.
Spanning 40 school districts, a total of 77 schools are on the overall "priority schools" list. The C3 list includes the 10 schools most in need of improvement, as judged by the state.
In addition, the department will review the A through F school grading system in an effort to set new rules for grading.
The Oklahoma legislature will then decide whether the new rules follow existing state law.
The board will meet at 9:30 a.m. Thursday. At that time, the list of schools will be released.

Jen and I have been looking around at houses and we found something we want and we are trying to make it work out, but we just do not know whether or not the math comes out. The place is in the hills above Long Beach and we figure that we would need to find a Long Beach adt security place and figure out what that would cost. That is because this place is sort of out alone in a rough piece of land. So when we leave for work in the morning the place would be quite vulnerable. (more…)
The Best Way to Keep Safe in Your Home
The ADT staff itself does not respond to situations in person though, as their customers are far too spread out for that to be at all effective. Instead they work carefully with police dispatchers to make sure that help is timely and effective. They are trained to provide important details including obvious things like the location and more subtle details like how the break-in occurred and whether anyone is home. This can help the police to do a much better job at responding and ultimately helps keep you secure.
-->There is little doubt that security is an important part of our fundamental desires, as humanity has been seeking it since the days of cavemen. Retreating to shelter at night provided protection from elements and animals, as it was just natural instinct to try and stay away from them when sleeping. This did not take some kind of manipulative advertisement to win them over, as it was the obvious choice to make for staying safe. This is the same case with home security, as the threat is now coming from other humans more so than animals. Over at home-security.co/adt-home-security/california/ you can find out all about the best service on the market for home security.
It starts with their technology, as they have all of the latest sensors and alarm equipment to make sure that you can cover every inch of your home. There are options that cover everything from motion sensors to detecting open windows, so there is really no way around the system without taking drastic measures. (more…)

The multidomain proapoptotic molecules BAK or BAX are required to initiate the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. How cells maintain the potentially lethal proapoptotic effector BAK in a monomeric inactive conformation at mitochondria is unknown. In viable cells, we found BAK complexed with mitochondrial outer-membrane protein VDAC2, a VDAC isoform present in low abundance that interacts specifically with the inactive conformer of BAK. Cells deficient in VDAC2, but not cells lacking the more abundant VDAC1, exhibited enhanced BAK oligomerization and were more susceptible to apoptotic death. Conversely, overexpression of VDAC2 selectively prevented BAK activation and inhibited the mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Death signals activate "BH3-only" molecules such as tBID, BIM, or BAD, which displace VDAC2 from BAK, enabling homo-oligomerization of BAK and apoptosis. Thus, VDAC2, an isoform restricted to mammals, regulates the activity of BAK and provides a connection between mitochondrial physiology and the core apoptotic pathway.

As headquarters of Citizens Against the Extradition of Roberto Polo, the Veiga estate has been overtaken by mountains of documentation. Copies of the Herald ads, sent in by concerned citizens and marked with messages such as, "�La extradici centsn, porque es Cubano?" sit on an imposing glass table in the living room, beside transparencies of Polo's paintings. Stacks of Xeroxed articles, letters of support, and other exhibits await collating nearby. A crop of "Free Polo Now" bumper stickers donated by a car rental agency are on the way. Hundreds of abridged Polo dossiers, each destined for a member of the U.S. Congress, fill the cottage out back.
People drift in and out of the house, all of them exuding a certain polite edginess. Voices remain low. Eyes avert. A young Italian man in sweatpants introduces himself as Roberto, a friend of the family. He digs out several recent articles about the Polo case from European magazines, then retreats through the lovely garden in back and out of sight.
Jose Castro, Polo's uncle, emerges from the kitchen. "We all work here together," he announces. "It is like a beehive of helpers." An elfin man in spectacles and tennis garb, he snatches up a sheet of slides, artworks Polo completed in Miami before his incarceration in South Dade. They are striking works, stark figures etched into a canvas of aluminum and wood, with patches of shocking color superimposed. One ominous piece hangs in the sitting room: a chef staring sullenly through a windowpane, as if from behind bars.
The command center may appear makeshift, but it's obvious thousands of dollars are being poured into Polo's defense. The advertisements. The PR firms. The legal fees. The photocopying.
And that has Polo's accusers suspicious. Plaintiff attorney Reger says his firm has lawyers in five cities trying to seize Polo's far-flung assets for repayment to his former clients, who claim they have yet to see half their original investment. "And in every city," Reger asserts, "Polo is fighting tooth and nail to keep from giving up these assets." In fact, Reger believes Polo is employing friends and family to hide the goods. For instance, Jose Castro and Roberto Consentino, the young Italian, are both officers in a company being used to obscure Polo's ownership of a home in Coral Gables, according to the affidavit of a former Polo associate filed in a French civil court. Both men deny the charge.
No doubt the most expensive item for Polo has been Ed Shohat, a prominent Miami lawyer whose bills, Polo says, satisfied former clients have agreed to pay. Shohat is proving to be worth every penny. Bright, witty, and readily available to the media, he has articulated an aggressive legal defense. The central target: Swiss investigating magistrate Vladimir Stemberger, whose extradition warrant, Shohat claims, is "based on documented falsehoods."
First, and most glaring, is Stemberger's statement that he questioned employees of Polo's Swiss company. "That just never happened," Shohat says. "We interviewed the employees, and they all deny giving him any testimony."
Second, Shohat disputes the assertion that millions of dollars passed through accounts controlled by Polo at Credit Suisse bank in Geneva. "The magistrate doesn't provide a single bank record in his warrant," the attorney asserts. "Yet we retained an accounting firm to audit PAMG's account and they found that not a single dollar of investor money had passed through the account."
Third, Polo had the authority to invest in art, based on the power-of-attorney forms investors signed. His "unexplained" wealth was part of an image -- that of a celebrated art connoisseur -- cultivated to drive up the prices of clients' investments. No documented approval of individual investments exists because Polo's secretive clients gave oral instructions.
Last, Shohat contends that Polo's alleged crimes are either not listed in the Swiss-U.S. extradition treaty, or not considered crimes in Florida.
U.S. Magistrate Bandstra, obviously, disagreed. "Polo, through valiant efforts of his attorney, and assistance of many individuals, offers plausible 'explanations' for much of his conduct and to confront much of the Swiss evidence. Nevertheless, probable cause exists," he noted in his January 11 ruling, finding further that Polo's alleged crimes in Switzerland would be considered criminal acts in Florida, as well.
"There is no evidence to indicate my client defrauded anyone," Shohat counters. "Someone engineered this Swiss magistrate to sign off on the warrant."
Such proclamations no longer shock Vladimir Stemberger. Not after five years of trying to pin down Polo, of reading ads in Swiss papers smearing his own reputation, of answering the impertinent questions of journalists incited by Polo. "I am very sorry for Mr. Polo, but I did not ask him to open a company here, then to run from my questions," Stemberger says by phone from Geneva.
The magistrate, whose investigative role is roughly analogous to that of a grand jury in this country, vividly recalls interviewing Polo's employees during the two days he searched PAMG's office. It was then, he explains, that he also seized bank records showing a steady dissipation of funds from multimillion-dollar accounts controlled by Polo: "I think it's 75 or 80 files, about two cubic meters of paper," the magistrate estimates. "I didn't see the necessity of sending it all over. But if the American authorities need it, I will provide them.

Perdomo Cuban Parejo Epicure Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 4 of 4 reviews
"ayy this perdomo was supurbo !!"
got it in the sampler, man this cigar was great,good slow burn nice and even no maintinence. Construction was good great aroma and taste,rated in the mid 80's i think more like low 90's .....I'll buy em again
russell in brigantine,nj January 16, 2012
"Love this cigar!!"
This is very good cigar, its full body, in fact it will rock your world if you smoke it all the way down to the nub, its full flavor, well made and overall a great value. I like the big 60 ring size, but it takes an hour or more to burn. I'm ordering another box.
Jon in Danbury, WI July 13, 2011
"Are you sure these are Perdomo's????"
I am a huge Perdomo fan, but these cigar are not in the same class of Perdomo's I have smoked in the past. Don't waste your money. Now to be fair to FSS, the price and service was great, but this Cigar was not worth the money.
Gregory in Beloit, Wisconsin July 3, 2010
"An excellent cigar Not for the timid or hurried"
The Epicure starts with a full body and builds to an incredibly fuller finish. Burning evenly and with a tight white ash. This is a two hour cigar not for the timid or hurried smoker. Take your time and really enjoy this one!!!!!
Larry Salmons in Nebraska August 14, 2002

There's trying hard to impress RNC, and then there's Dallas
Posted By Jon Murray On June 13, 2014 @ 5:20 pm In Colorado Government,National Politics,Republican National Convention | 6 Comments
The Republican National Committee's 2016 convention scouts said they were wowed by both cities they visited this week, Denver and then Dallas. But the cities took drastically different approaches to try to win the Republican National Convention: Dallas went straight for hearts, and Denver tried to appeal to minds. Put another way: Dallas put on a showstopping performance, and Denver hosted a business meeting [1], albeit with a few flourishes (including an appearance by the Denver Broncos' mascot horse Thunder).
I wouldn't discount either approach: Denver is seen by many as a favorite alongside Dallas, and its bid leaders have a chance of winning the convention for Denver if they can shore up fundraising, the biggest weakness of the bid [2]. Friday morning, before I left Dallas to return to Denver, I attended a closing news conference with that city's bid leaders, including former Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison [3]. Though the RNC will make the official host announcement during its August meetings in Chicago [4], they said the Site Selection Committee could vote on a single choice as soon as June 30, leading to negotiations with that city in July. Cleveland and Kansas City, Mo., also are in play.If nothing else, Dallas is known for its confidence and for doing everything big. It didn't disappoint during the RNC delegation's 48-hour visit, from Wednesday afternoon to Friday morning. Below is a video showing portions of the show Dallas put on inside its arena, the American Airlines Center.
Here's a concise rundown — in seven paragraphs — from the Dallas Morning News' Tom Benning in Friday's newspaper [5] (the story is well worth a read in full):
Rowdy, the Dallas Cowboys' mascot, welcomed the crew at the airport. Voicemails from Big Tex awaited the GOP officials at their rooms at the Ritz Carlton. And country star Pat Green headlined a party Wednesday at his Uptown hot spot, The Rustic.There was breakfast at Savor at Klyde Warren Park and lunch at Cloud Nine, where desserts were shaped like Reunion Tower. Oil baron Ray Hunt hosted a reception at the Hunt Oil Building, and real estate magnate Harlan Crow hosted one at his home. Both are big Republican donors.
Two live elephants — Suse and Esa, from Oklahoma — welcomed the GOP convention scouts to the AAC on Thursday morning. As did a crowd of cheering volunteers. As did cheerleaders for the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars. As did the Kilgore College Rangerettes. As did Dallas' Salvation Army band.
Linda Gray, who plays Sue Ellen Ewing on Dallas old and new, surprised the entourage at a luncheon. And Jerry Jones arranged for the Cowboys' team buses to take the group to AT&T Stadium, which is still being considered for opening or closing ceremonies.
The city's organizers also gave the Republicans a taste of what a Dallas 2016 convention would look like.State signs with the party's elephant mascot stood in the AAC's lower bowl, matching the home states of the top officials in attendance. Videos played of Reagan's acceptance speech from the Dallas convention. And live vocalists performed a rousing song about Dallas.
Then came the balloons. Then came the confetti. Then came the fireworks.
I'm not sure if the RNC visitors ended the Dallas trip impressed beyond belief, or simply exhausted by Dallas' efforts. Regardless, you can't say Dallas, which joined the RNC's bid competition late in the game, didn't give its all. Benning reports that when site committee chairwoman Enid Mickelsen [6] was asked later to name Dallas' top attribute, she said: "Setting aside the enthusiasm? How do you not notice the enthusiasm?"

Former Norwich City player Willie Donachie has resigned from his position as part of Newcastle boss Alan Pardew's academy coaching set-up. Picture by Paul Chesterton/Focus Images Ltd
Friday, February 7, 2014
Former Norwich City player Willie Donachie has resigned from his coaching post at Newcastle after allegations he was involved in a fight with an academy player.
The 62-year-old was initially suspended by the Magpies while they investigated an alleged incident involving teenage defender Remie Streete after Monday's 2-0 development league defeat to arch rivals Sunderland. Donachie's resignation was confirmed in an official club statement which read: "Newcastle United can confirm that Willie Donachie has resigned from his position as reserve team manager with immediate effect. The club will be making no further comment."
The ex-Scotland international had been part of Newcastle's academy set-up since 2009. Donachie made 14 appearances for the Canaries in the 1981/82 season after joining the club from Portland Timbers in a reported £200,000 transfer deal. Donachie moved into a player/coach role at Oldham under Joe Royle and was also Joe Royle's assistant boss at Ipswich Town during a four-year stint in Suffolk from 2002. Newcastle's development league loss earlier this week came two days after Alan Pardew's side were beaten 3-0 in the Premier League by Sunderland.

Homicide charges for a Sunbury woman
MIDDLEBURG – A Sunbury woman is facing more charges for her role in a Snyder County homicide. A preliminary hearing for Jennifer Snook was continued Thursday, but two additional charges were added. She now faces 2nd degree homicide and conspiracy to commit homicide. That is in addition to her charges of burglary and theft. Snook is in Snyder County Prison on $85,000 bail. Police say Snook was in the vehicle that drove to the Creek Road home in Middleburg early Sunday morning.
At that home, Snook's husband Joshua Snook allegedly tried to steal a gun from his grandparents, Bonnie and Dale Snook. Bonnie Snook was stabbed in the neck and died at the scene. Dale Snook was stabbed in the arm and is in fair condition at Geisinger Medical Center. Joshua Snook remains in Snyder County Prison on a state parole violation. Snyder County District Attorney Michael Piecuch says he expects a general count of homicide and other charges will be filed against Joshua Snook next week.
According to a police report, the incident started Sunday at a bar in Northumberland, where Joshua and Jennifer Snook were involved in an argument with a friend. The couple then drove to Middleburg in order to get a gun to scare the friend. The gun was found in the couple's vehicle. (Sara Bartlett)

Yesterday I released my pension plan for Rhode Island's future. It is clear that the current system is unsustainable and that reform must take place to ensure the long-term health of our state.
My plan is comprehensive, realistic, legally viable, and honest. And, most importantly, I am the only candidate who addresses both the state and municipal pension crises that are jeopardizing the future of our state.
Please take a few minutes to read my plan.
Pension reform is just one piece of my vision for a new way forward for Rhode Island, one based on honesty, integrity, and independence.

Lincoln Chafee's 10-point plan will leverage the $125 million Rhode Island Loan Guaranty Fund to maximize job creation while limiting taxpayer risk. As Governor, he will lead the Economic Development Corporation in a prudent, new direction, with a single ultimate goal: to create more high paying jobs in Rhode Island. He will work with the General Assembly and the business community to enact the necessary legislative changes to accomplish job creation objectives for Rhode Island and end the insider deals like 38 Studios that recklessly gamble taxpayer dollars.
The 10-point plan is guided by three principles: encouraging and rewarding job creation, investing in management and/or businesses with a proven track record of success, and limiting taxpayer risk through diversification and an open and transparent process. The 10 points are as follows.
1) Conduct a nationwide business plan competition (similar to a Request for Proposal (RFP) process) that solicits innovative job creation proposals from compelling businesses and entrepreneurs interested in establishing, relocating or expanding their business in Rhode Island.
2) Aggressively recruit Rhode Island companies and local entrepreneurs to participate in the new Rhode Island Loan Guaranty Fund business plan competition.
3) Establish and conduct an open, public and transparent Rhode Island business plan competition process (while respecting business confidentially concerns), so that taxpayers and other interested stakeholders have confidence in its results.
4) Depoliticize and professionalize the jobs plan competition by involving leading organizations such as the Greater Providence, Central Rhode Island, Newport, Blackstone Valley and other area Chambers of Commerce, the state's public and private universities, and other jobs-centric private and public institutions to assist with the business plan competition review and analysis.
5) Expand the focus of the Rhode Island Loan Guaranty Fund to accelerate job creation by building upon Rhode Island's existing assets, such as (a) medical/health/life sciences investments in the new Knowledge District of Providence, (b) investments in renewable, environmentally friendly technologies - such as green energy investments at Quonset, and (c) businesses that can maximize existing government investment at the new Station District at TF Green Airport in Warwick.
6) Small businesses and start-ups, especially those with a proven management team or a compelling bankable idea, will be recruited to apply. A designated percentage of the Rhode Island Loan Guaranty Fund will be reserved exclusively for promising small businesses.
7) Maximize the number of companies that can benefit from the Rhode Island Loan Guaranty Fund, guarantees would generally be issued for as little as $250,000 up to a maximum of $6.25 million (or amount larger only with sufficiently compelling job creation opportunities). Target loan guaranty support for 50 or more new or existing businesses.
8) Include negotiating an appropriate level of representation and possible equity stake and board position in each target company being supported by the guaranty program, in order to monitor the taxpayer investment in each company and to ensure that the State of Rhode Island will share in the reward of its investment guaranty.
9) Prudent stewardship of the Rhode Island Loan Guaranty Fund requires sound risk-allocation principles. Therefore, to limit risk of taxpayer money, ensure that no single business would be eligible to receive a guaranty in excess of 5% (or $6.25 million) of the Fund, absent compelling business and job creation reasons to exceed that general cap.
10) Make a special effort to support female- and minority-owned businesses in the loan guarantee awards.
Lincoln Chafee's economic plan will reduce risking taxpayer money on huge loan guarantees like the $75 million Governor Carcieri made to Curt Schilling's 38 Studios, a company that has never turned a profit. More broadly, it will identify promising new businesses through competitive processes, and limit taxpayer risk by focusing on job creation, small businesses, and diversification.

In contrast to Jewish funeral professionals elsewhere, those in Toronto and Massachusetts said that they had not seen much of a change in their local rates in recent years.
Part of that apparent upward trend may be simply due to the cultural influence exerted by the increase in cremations in general society. Botbol likened the shift to the advent of flowers at Jewish funeral services, which was not historically part of the Jewish tradition.
In Philadelphia, Schwartz linked what he said was the city's relatively high Jewish cremation rate to the fact that Jewish cemeteries in the area are often not owned by synagogues, as in other areas, or even controlled by Jews.
"They don't require Jews to be as traditional as they do in other parts of the country," Schwartz said of Philadelphia's cemeteries.
Rabbi Adam Zeff, spiritual leader of Germantown Jewish Centre, a Conservative synagogue in Philadelphia, agreed. "As rabbis trying to encourage people to follow Jewish tradition, certainly the cemeteries are not our partners in that," Zeff said. "They're in the business of serving their clients, so if the client wants to do something, they will do it."
Some not-for-profits have policies they hope will discourage cremations. Amy Koplow, executive director of the Hebrew Free Burial Association, which helps Jews afford Jewish burials, said that people hoping to save money often present her with requests for cremations.
"To try to avoid cremation, we will make deals," Koplow said. "We'll adjust our price. If it comes down to money, in order to save somebody from being cremated, we'll have to subsidize it more."
Even in Philadelphia, resistance to cremation in some quarters remains high. David Gordon, general manager of Roosevelt Memorial Park, a cemetery near Philadelphia, drew outrage in 2010 when he ran an ad in the Philadelphia Jewish Exponent advertising cremation options at the cemetery he manages.
CANA cites cost as a top driver in cremation's growing popularity in society generally. According to Barbara Kemmis, executive director of CANA, the average cost of a cremation is $1,650, while the average cost of a burial is $7,300.
Funeral directors note, however, that the cost differential is not always so large. Conservative Jews who choose cremation sometimes bury the ashes in cemeteries and hold funeral services, meaning that the extra costs involved in burials are only a matter of a few hundred dollars.
Still, people who choose cremation often forgo other burial rituals.
"Overall, and this is a number that just knocks me out, 70% of the [ashes] are not picked up" from funeral homes, Fishman said. "You go to any funeral home and say, 'How many [ashes] you got in your basement?' and the guy will say 300, 500."
It's this abandonment of ritual that has even some non-Orthodox rabbis worried.
"Jews have always had the tradition, going back to biblical times, to create a space on earth to mourn the dead," said Rabbi Andy Bachman, spiritual leader of Congregation Beth Elohim, a Reform synagogue in Brooklyn. "The simplest way to put it is, if you go all the way back to Abraham's first act after Sarah died, it was to secure a plot of land in order to bury her."
