Haiti's New Cardinal Celebrates First Mass in Capitol
Cardinal Chibly Langlois led several thousand people in his first Mass on Saturday for a three-hour ceremony in downtown Port-au-Prince. He encouraged the people to show compassion for each other.

Security officials in Anbar province accused al-Qaeda of carrying out an attack on Monday (October 3rd) that targeted the police center in the town of Baghdadi, claiming the lives of 11 Iraqis and wounding 18 others.
A number of gunmen, including two suicide bombers wearing explosives belts, attacked the police building on Monday morning. The two suicide bombers detonated themselves at the building gate, opening the way for the other gunmen to storm the center.
"Five security personnel were killed in the explosions, and 18 others were wounded. Then, six terrorists stormed the building and were able to control it. They took all those who were in the center as hostages," said Maj. Gen. Hadi Kassar Erzaij, commander of Anbar police.
Among the hostages were the commander of Baghdadi district police, his deputy, the mayor and a number of policemen.
Erzaij told Mawtani that the gunmen controlled the center for three hours until special forces from the Iraqi army arrived with a force of local police.
"Fierce clashes raged for about 40 minutes, which ended with the liberation of the hostages, including the mayor, security officers and members of the police."
Erzaij said the gunmen executed the commander of the local police, his deputy, three policemen, and one civilian before the security forces stormed the building and killed all six assailants.
The police commander accused al-Qaeda of the attack, saying, "This was an obvious operation. But the terrorists should know that we will not negotiate with them or with any other terrorist. There is no way to deal with them except by killing them and getting rid of them."
Brig. Gen. Emad Ali, who led the operation that stormed the building, told Mawtani that the situation was under control.
"Al-Qaeda will be dealt a harsh lesson for this failed attempt."
He said the killing of the police chief and his deputy "was a loss for the Iraqi forces because they were competent men who loved their country".
Mohammad Fathi Hantoush, spokesperson for Anbar province, said the gunmen stormed the Baghdadi police center with the aim of liberating a number of suspected al-Qaeda members who had been detained by Iraqi forces.
"The terrorists failed to liberate the prisoners because they were surprised by the Iraqi forces surrounding the building within a few minutes after they entered it," he told Mawtani.
"The Iraqi forces will keep fighting until the last minute and will not allow the terrorists to control Iraq."
Chairman of the defense and security committee in the Anbar Provincial Council Saad Mansi said, "The terrorists thought the Iraqi forces would resort to negotiations with them, which made them seize the hostages, but our forces quickly stormed the place, liberated the hostages and killed the attackers."
"The courage of the Iraqi army and police blocked the release of the terrorists who pose a grave threat to Iraq and the Iraqi people."
A large number of residents of Baghdadi condemned the terrorist attack on the police center.
"These terrorist ways no longer pay off because our heroic forces are always ready for them," said Bilal Hardan, 41, a farmer in Baghdadi.
"The terrorists should realize that Iraq will not submit to their terror, and Iraqi citizens are determined to be victorious and we shall triumph."
Tariq Ismael, 37, a government employee, said, "We lost heroic people in the attack but thanks to God, we did not lose our strength or our morale in fighting the terrorists. They have failed to realize their sinister objectives."

Review – of overall program and its efficiency
How can I know what another person considers to be offensive?
Not everyone thinks the same way about many topics.It is entirely possible that you can say or do something offensive unintentionally. The point is that the offended party must inform you of their objection. The problem only escalates into the territory of "harassment" if the offending party knowingly continues with their offensive behaviour.
Who should perform the assessment?
Bill 168 nor the guidelines from the Ministry of Labour provide any specific direction on who is to conduct the risk assessment. Each enterprise is free to have the risk assessment conducted by internal staff or by an external party as appropriate.
Does a Workplace Violence and Harassment policy just apply to a company's workers?
A well planned policy will cover all aspects of the workplace. This would include any work related situation that a worker could find himself in. This would include: worker to worker; client/customer to worker; management to worker; stranger to worker and even stranger to stranger violence.
What is a "risk assessment" and why is it important?
A risk assessment must be conducted to try and discover if any violence related issues can be predicted. It is important because, if done properly, it will allow management to be proactive and prevent undesirable behaviour rather than just reacting to it.
What must be considered as part of the assessment?
The Act, as amended by Bill 168, requires the employer to assess the risks of workplace violence possibly arising from the nature of the business and the type and conditions of the workplace. It does not specify any factors to be considered when an employer evaluates the workplace violence.
What must be included in the Workplace Violence Policy?
· A process for workers to report incidents or threats of violence in the workplace
· Another process for investigating incidents, complaints or threats
· A procedure for calling assistance when violence has occurred or is likely to occur
· Train workers
I am a worker. What should I do if I think someone is exhibiting strange behavior?
There are many signs that are indicative of deeper problems. Substance abuse, changes in personality and personal hygiene are some but not all of these symptoms. It is important the early warning signs be noted and brought to the attention of the supervisor responsible for addressing the situation.
What am I supposed to do if it is my supervisor who is the one exhibiting inappropriate behaviour?
Any policy must provide for an alternate route of reporting incidences of inappropriate behavior. Workers must have recourse to someone higher up the organizational chain of command. This could be someone in Human Resources or possibly the employer.

Crowd-powered systems that help people are difficult to scale and sustain because human labor is expensive and worker pools are difficult to grow.

High functional complexity is leading us towards new architectures for sensing systems. Multi-tiered design is one among the many emerging alternatives. Such architectures bring new opportunities for effective system-level power management. For instance, varying one/more tier-level parameters can provide substantial end-to-end energy scaling. In this paper, we review an existing approach that shows how one such parameter, namely data compression, can help us scale energy at the cost of algorithmic... | Publication detailsDate: 14 September 2014 Type: Inproceeding Publisher: IEEE – Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers |

Circumlocution is when many words are used to describe what could be said with fewer, e.g., "a machine that takes moisture out of the air" instead of "dehumidifier". Web search is a perfect backdrop for circumlocution where people struggle to name what they seek.

Deciphering the developmental program of an embryo is a fundamental question in biology. Landmark papers [9,10] have recently shown how computational models of gene regulatory networks provide system-level causal understanding of the developmental processes of the sea urchin, and enable powerful predictive capabilities.

Stress is considered to be a modern day "global epidemic"; so given the widespread nature of this problem, it would be beneficial if solutions that help people to learn how to cope better with stress were scalable beyond what individual or group therapies can provide today. Therefore, in this work, we study the potential of smart-phones as a pervasive medium to provide "crowd therapy". The work melds two novel contributions: first, a micro-intervention authoring process that focuses on repurposing... | Publication detailsDate: 1 May 2014 Type: Inproceeding Publisher: IEEE Pervasive Health |

"We've got a lot of customers in Evans already."
The bank has owned the property for the past decade, Brinson said, adding that the initial goal was to build the new branch in 2008 before the economy declined.

Columbia County authorities Thursday arrested a man who they say robbed a Martinez bank Thursday morning.
Ted Howard Screws, 44, of Sally Drive in Martinez, was charged Thursday evening with armed robbery and is being held at the Columbia County Detention Center without bond, said Columbia County Sheriff's Capt. Steve Morris in an email.

The Appling father is just steps away from where his 17-year-old son was hit by a sport utility vehicle Tuesday. His son died the next day at an Augusta hospital. The grieving father wants to turn his pain of losing a child into something positive by pushing for a lower speed limit on the stretch of roadway where his son, Cory Allan Morin, was hit. "I can't bring my son back, but maybe I can help other people on that road," he said.
The Columbia County Planning Commission granted a Grovetown church's request Thursday to add a temporary building for more gathering space.
Planning commissioners approved a rezoning so that a doublewide mobile home could be placed temporarily behind Emmanuel Faith Christian Tabernacle at 4470 Wrightsboro Road.
If approved by county commissioners on July 17, the acre lot would change from single-family residential and special district to the latter zoning category.

Notre Dame 61
(14) North Carolina 63
Coverage: ESPN/WatchESPN
7:00 PM ET, March 3, 2014
Dean E. Smith Center, Chapel Hill, North Carolina
Top Performers
Notre Dame: P. Connaughton 17 Pts, 13 Reb, 1 Ast, 1 Stl
North Carolina: J. Tokoto 11 Pts, 6 Reb, 3 Ast
After a slow start to the conference season, North Carolina turned it around in a major way, winning 11 straight to clinch a first-round bye in the ACC tournament.
The No. 14 Tar Heels will look to continue that run Monday night when they host Notre Dame in the team's final home game of the season.During their current streak, the Tar Heels (22-7, 12-4) have won in a variety of ways, from high-scoring shootouts to overtime thrillers. On Saturday at Virginia Tech, the team won a game coach Roy Williams described as "workman-like."North Carolina shot just 50.0 percent from the free throw line, but Leslie McDonald sank two in the final seconds to help give the team a 60-56 victory. The win ensured the Heels a top-four finish in the regular season ACC standings and a place in the quarterfinals when the league's tournament begins next week in Greensboro, N.C."I don't know that I care that much about getting a bye," Williams said. "I care more about that meaning that you've had a pretty good run. I like winning games."The 60 points were the fewest the Tar Heels have posted in a victory since a 54-51 win over Virginia on Feb. 25, 2012.Among the keys for the Tar Heels' success has been the all-around play of forward J.P. Tokoto. Though he's fifth on the team in scoring at 9.4 points per game, the sophomore has contributed in other ways. Against the Hokies, Tokoto tied for the team lead in rebounds (seven) and assists (three), while also chipping in 12 points."He's got a great motor," teammate Marcus Paige said of Tokoto. "And he gets the bucket-getters every night. And at the same time, he's able to bring it on both ends."While North Carolina's finale comes March 8 at Duke, this matchup will close out the regular season for the Fighting Irish (15-15, 6-11), who have lost three of four.Notre Dame has been especially poor on the road this season, going 1-8 in ACC play. Among the team's issues in those contests has been a lack of crashing the boards, with opponents grabbing 33.3 rebounds per game.That problem crept up again Saturday when the Irish fell 85-81 in overtime at home against Pittsburgh. Despite the five extra minutes, Notre Dame grabbed its fewest rebounds in a conference game this season and was outworked 38-22 on the glass."Our perimeter guys were our leading rebounders," said coach Mike Brey, referring to shooting guard Steve Vasturia's team-leading six rebounds. "Having said that, (we) had chances, but it was just a tough one."A win versus North Carolina would end the Fighting Irish's debut ACC season on a high note. The Irish struggled when the teams met earlier this season, losing 73-62 at home on Feb. 8. This game will mark Notre Dame's first appearance in Chapel Hill since Feb. 23, 1993, a game won by the eventual-NCAA champion Tar Heels 85-56."We have to be ready for a big North Carolina game," Vasturia said. "It's the last game of the season. We have to take the positives from (the Pittsburgh game) and try to get better."The Tar Heels lead the all-time series 17-4, including wins in the last four meetings.SPONSORED HEADLINES

What to wear when bicycle commuting?Helpful article from Pennsylvania, about the techniques bicycle commuters use to meet their office apparel needs. Many bicycle commuters who must dress for business employ a variety of means. One standard approach is carrying office clothing carefully rolled in panniers or in a bicycling garment bag; perhaps with an iron at the office for quick touch-ups. Other bike commuters leave all office apparel at work, using a nearby dry cleaner as necessary. And some drive to the office on certain days, with a week's worth of clothing, and bicycle commute the other days. And a lucky few are able to make the commute in their suit or dress. Any other suggestions for handling the office dress code as a bicycle commuter? Image: Web capture.

Guarda fuori è già mattina
Questo è un giorno che ricorderai
Alzati in fretta e vai, c'è chi crede in te
Non ti arrendere
Once in every life there comes a time
We walk out all alone and into the light
The moment won't last but then
We remember it again when we close our eyes
Like stars across the sky
E per avvincere tu dovrai vincere
We were born to shine
All of us here because we believe
Non arrenderti
Qualcuno è con te
Like stars across the sky
We were born to shine
E per avvincere dovrai vincere
E allora vincerai

A First: Cat Saves Human
A surveillance video taken outside a home in California shows a cat saving a boy from being brutally attacked by a dog.
In the video, you see a young boy on his tricycle sitting in his driveway when the neighbor's dog runs over and sinks his teeth into the boy's leg, dragging him down the driveway.
That's when a surprise hero enters the scene – the boy's childhood cat named Tara. The dog is a lot bigger than Tara but she runs over and pounces on the dog and he immediately runs away and down the street.
The boy still needed stitches in his leg, but it looks like the cat helped save him from getting hurt even worse.
Police said the dog will be quarantined for 10 days then euthanized.

Whoops: Anchor Calls a FireTruck a F–k Truck on Live TV
Alison Bologna, an anchor for Providence, Rhode Island's NBC 10, earned a spot in every future YouTube news blooper compilation for her coverage of a fuck truck—er, a fire truck—that overturned near Charlotte, N.C., last Thursday, injuring four.
Bologna plowed through the story without acknowledging her mistake, although she was much more deliberate about pronouncing the word fire through the rest of the report.
And those "f–k" fighters? They're all gonna be okay, they only had minor injuries.

I got this from benmaller.com.Its the Cheifs GM talking about Ty Law In the search for veteran help at cornerback, Ty Law is on the Chiefs radar screen but not on the balance sheet -- at least not yet. "Without dancing all around it, it all gets down to the money," GM Carl Peterson said. "So far, Ty Law has commanded a great deal of money that he's not worth, quite frankly. When he gets to the point when he says, 'I'll play for a little bit less ...' then we can come together." Thats hes not worth?That would piss me off...But seeing TY is only motivated by money maybe it does not bother him as long as they pony up.
Wow, there are a lot of teams willing to overpay for big name, star players, so the fact that teams are flat out laughing in Law's face shows how ridiculous his demands are.
Good scoop my friend. I took the liberty of double checking since I don't know from Benmaller, but it seems a very legit quote. http://www.cjonline.com/stories/050606/kca_peterson.shtml That's the Topeka Kansas paper, apparently.
BenMaller is a hell of a site updated daily..lots of rumors...and stories from across the country.I highly recommend it.

As I've interviewed hundreds of people about money over the years – both people with money and those with not so much – there is always an obvious difference: The people with money are investors.
What makes them different? Rather than simply spending every penny, investors use their money to acquire things that offer the potential for profitable returns, either through interest, income, or the appreciation of value.
As you approach managing money, you'll learn to devote your limited resources to the things with the largest potential for returns. That may be paying down debt, going back to school, or fixing up a two-family house. Of course, it may also mean buying stocks and bonds — either individually or as mutual funds or exchange-traded funds.
Thanks to modern technology, the investing world offers enormous possibilities to anybody with a few bucks and an Internet connection. It's our job to help you filter out the noise, learn the basics, and make good investment decisions from the start.
Investing vs. gambling
All investing involves risk. But there's a big difference between smart investing and gambling. Trading a few stocks without knowing what you're doing is gambling. Diligently setting aside money, putting it the best stocks or funds for your goals, and leaving it put for the long run. That's investing.
If you love researching stocks and making fast trades in search of short-term profits, fine. It's fun. I just don't recommend doing it with more than 10 percent of your money.
How to start investing (my advice)
Investing is like religion – people have some strong opinions and may even belong to one of many "sects".
There are the doomsday preppers who are convinced our financial system will collapse, so they stick all their money in gold and real estate. There are the optimistic and opportunistic day-traders with their Batcaves covered in wall-to-wall monitors. And there are the indexers, those that simply invest in everything in order to take advantage of the slow and steady increase in the overall value of the markets.
If you already belong strongly to one of the above camps, you may not find the investing resources on Money Under 30 useful. If, however, you have an open mind and are interested in learning simple strategies for successful lifelong investing – without any gimmicks – then read on.
My personal investing philosophy is quite simple: Create broad diversification through a mix of low-cost mutual funds and ETFs, while keeping it fun by holding individual stocks with up to 10 percent of my assets.
To start investing, you'll need to make a few choices:
Your platform
First, you'll need to choose a platform with which to invest. Available platforms include:
- Online brokerages like TDAmeritrade, Scottrade, or Fidelity
- Full-service brokers or financial advisors
- Specialty brokerages like Betterment
- Direct mutual fund accounts
- Dividend reinvestment programs (DRIPs)
Until you become a comfortable investor, we recommend buying mutual funds or ETFs, either through an online broker or direct mutual fund account. For anybody who's not interest in choosing individual investments, Betterment offers a very simple way to gain exposure to the total stock and bond market (you just deposit money like a savings account, choose your risk tolerance on a scale of 1-10, and it invests in the overall market for you).
Your account type
Next, you'll need to choose whether you're investing in an individual retirement account (IRA) or a general, taxable account. An IRA or Roth IRA provides certain tax advantages as an incentive to save for retirement. The downside is there are limits on how much you can contribute to the account each year and when you can withdraw the money. If you're new to investing and can afford to begin putting money away for retirement, I recommend everybody begin investing with a Roth IRA.
If you already have a retirement account or need to invest money for another goal (like buying a home or starting a business), a regular brokerage account will do. Keep in mind that your capital gains – the money you earn when you sell a security for more than you paid for it – are taxable, as will certain dividends you receive.
Your investments
Finally, you'll need to select your investments.
This is where it gets overwhelming. My advice is to stick with mutual funds or exchange-trade funds rather than individual stocks and bonds until you get your feet wet. Funds enable you to invest in a broad portfolio of stocks and bonds in one transaction rather than trading them all yourself. Funds are not only safer investments (because they're diversified), it's often far less expensive to invest this way because instead of paying trading commissions to buy a dozen or more different stocks you will either pay just one trading commission or nothing at all (in the event you buy a mutual fund directly from the fund company).
Here are some posts to get you started choosing investments:
- Getting started investing with mutual funds
- How to pick a mutual fund
- 5 mutual funds to get you started
- 15 top no-load mutual funds
- Good mutual funds and ETFs for new investors
Some final advice
The most important factor in being a successful investor is not the stocks and funds you pick. Successful investing depends on:
- Proper asset allocation — the overall mix of bonds, stocks, and cash you hold — and
- Avoiding making terrible, emotionally-charged decisions (like selling at the bottom of a market crash). To avoid this, I recommend creating and sticking to an automatic investment plan.
The investing information on MoneyUnder30 barely scratches the surface of the world of knowledge out there about investing, but that's OK. We're not trying to train the next class of hedge fund generations so much as give the average person enough knowledge and confidence to begin investing on your own. I hope the investment strategies here are helpful.

"The success of this month-long outreach illustrates the passion our team members have for serving others," said Kessel Stelling, Chairman and CEO of Synovus.

Our company has been given so much over the past 125 years, and we believe it is our responsibility to do all we can to give back in a way that strengthens our communities and makes life better for individuals, families, and businesses."

I think the globe on the emblem is a little too high, but they look great!Date published: 2013-05-16Rated 2 out of 5 by MARCO from They look nothing like the color on the catalog or the internet page I ordered it from. They look like a darker grey instead of silver like it showed on the catalog. Also they didn't fit my gun.Date published: 2013-05-10Rated 5 out of 5 by JOSEPH A from I had to grind the inside off to get clearance for release. It may have been a combination of things-- my version of the M1911, however that is a machined item whereas the grips are die-cast, so i think the error is in the grip. Otherwise, they are a fantastic addition!!Date published: 2013-02-15
