Halifax airport
It's not just khat that border agents at the airport confiscate.
Canadian Border Services agents seized 98 items in 91 separate seizures at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport in 2012.
Included in those figures are ten cash seizures totalling $213,675.
By far the most confiscated items were tobacco products, with narcotics and other controlled drugs a close second.
On Aug. 8, the Canada Border Services Agency found more than 30 kilograms of the stimulant drug khat in two suitcases. Peter James Gordon, of Belfast, was later arrested for the contraband.
While certainly not as dangerous as narcotics or prohibited weapons, clothing and footwear were seized nine times by agents. CBSA spokesperson Cindy MacKenzie says clothing confiscation can occur for a few different reasons.
"If a traveller has not declared items, not declaring them properly or undervalued them, border services officers can take seizure actions on the items," she says, via email.
The full list of seized commodities can be found below.

Alas, it appears as though the living dead have well and truly become a part of mainstream popular culture. At least according to The Guardian. Does this mean a book or movie deal for their overlord and master? Unlikely. But you're advised to stayed tuned to this (dark and satanic) source for new and inspiring cultural content.

"It is the bright day that brings forth the adder and that craves wary walking."
Chapter Two
Ghosts of the Past
That night, Daylight was again haunted by nightmares. She found herself once more standing inside the hollowed-out trunk of an ancient tree, in the middle of the lowest room. A shattered wooden door lay in front of her, its crushed pieces strewn across the entryway like a spilled bag of oats. Outside it was darkthrough the door-less entrance, the stars winked at her across an unfamiliar landscape. Though the scene was otherwise peaceful, tension and fear seemed to hang thick in the air, building with time and putting her on edge.
Suddenly she noticed another pony therethough she had been there all along, she now realized. Before her stood a tall and stately purple unicorn, and though Daylight didn't recognize her features an intense feeling of kinship warmed her heart. It was almost as if Daylight had known her well at some point, but had long since forgotten.
The unicorn's mane and tail were a deep shade of blue, broken only by two streaks of pink. Her gleaming purple eyes radiated a comforting familiarity, and filled Daylight with a feeling of peace the likes of which she could not remember having ever felt. They met each other's gaze, eyes locked, and simply stood that way for what felt like an eternity and yet no time at all.
Daylight wanted this moment to last forever. She felt as though she was truly home.
The moment, however, proved far too good to last. The flames that Daylight had grown to dread rippled out from the unicorn's very mane, slithering about the room like hideous burning serpents. The blaze spread out in a ring, rapidly consuming the ancient wood surrounding them. Still, the unicorn made no move to save herself. She simply stood amidst the fire and flames, watching Daylight with saddened, loving eyes.
A phantasmal force snatched at Daylight, dragging her from the innocent happiness of the book-filled room. NO! she thought, she didn't want to leave. She didn't want to leave! As she was drawn slowly into an enveloping blackness she reached out a hoof to the unicorn, beseeching help.
The unicorn simply looked at her as Daylight vanished into the darkness. Before the flames licking at her fur completely engulfed her, a profoundly forlorn expression came over her face and she spoke softly, ever so softly, to Daylight.
"I'll be with you every step of the way, Sweetie. Don't you worry."
Daylight awoke in the dark, her face pressed deep into a clammy pillow wet with tears. She looked quickly about the room, confirming reality before settling back into her chilly sheets with a huff. A faint glow shone through her curtainsit was too close to daybreak now to go back to sleep. Resigned, she threw the covers from her body and rolled off the bed and onto the cold wooden floor. She shivered slightly as she trotted from her room, her head beginning to throb and ache from her injury the night before.
Applejack hadn't woken up yet, she noticed as she checked her Aunt's room. Daylight desperately wanted to ask her about all the things she couldn't explain herself, but Applejack had gone to bed early the previous evening and was already asleep when Daylight burst through their front door in a panic. Daylight hadn't the heart to wake her, so the questionings would have to wait until that evening.
In the kitchen she lit the oil lamp on the dining table, revealing half of the previous day's cornbread still in its dish. She served herself a sliceit was a bit stale, but tasty nonetheless, and definitely filling. As she ate the last bite of bread, Daylight decided to head out early. There was something that she wanted to check on before work, and she did not want to be late two days in a rowwho knew what Redsky would do if she were.
She didn't worry too much about staying quiet as she worriedly magicked her way through the front door, briefcase in tow and sweater bundled tight against the early morning chill. Snow had fallen that night, wrapping the earth in a pristine white shell that crunched open beneath her hooves, and wind whipped down the boulevard. Bits of dusty snow swirled up in an invisible vortex before falling back to the ground in some other snow drift. The heaps of snow, sparkling in the morning sun, sat in glaring discordance with the greying and dilapidated houses.
Instead of heading towards her workplace, Daylight immediately turned right and cut across the snowy lawn of the abandoned bungalow next door, towards Dinky's house. As she looked it over, everything seemed to be in order. The house was intact, the doors and windows still in place and as weather-worn as they had ever been, although no light shone from the windows. That was to be expected at this early hour, however; nopony was ever up before the State mandate.
A check of the door showed no sign of forced entry
all was quiet. Warily, she raised a hoof and knocked lightly upon the door.
There was no answer.
She knocked again; once more, no answer. Hesitantly, she decided to try the handleto her surprise, it was unlocked. The door swung easily open with a light push. Although the room inside was darkened, enough pre-dawn light seeped in to allow Daylight to see that the house was
The residence wasn't just devoid of lifeit was devoid of everything. Derpy's red futon was gone, and no yellow doll sat in the corner. There were no tables, and no chairs. The small alcove, once a haven for books, sat devoid of even the simple wooden desk Daylight had seen Dinky sitting at the night before. The only things left seemed to be the Spectators, lids still closed, outwardly asleep.
Daylight called out nervously, voice just low enough to keep the Spectator from noticing. "Dinky?"
When no response came, she cautiously moved into the building to inspect the other rooms. All seemed to have followed the same Spartan trend as the living room. To all appearances Dinky and Derpy seemed to have simply vanished, taking with them any trace that they had ever lived there.
Daylight bit her tongue to keep herself from groaning with worry. Something had happened last nightnopony could move out that quickly, not even with a State transfer order. Things didn't add up. Unless
Daylight's eyes grew wide. Unless the Department took them. They'd be back, though, wouldn't they? The Department is supposed to only Re-Educate them, nothing else.
She looked around in dismay. But then where did all of their belongings go?
A horrible suspicion told her that she wouldn't ever see Dinky and Derpy again. They wouldn't be back. If Daylight had been wrong about the Peacekeepers, then why couldn't she also be wrong about the Department itself?
why couldn't she have been wrong about the entire State?
There was only one way that she could figure this outshe'd have to find their records at the Department. Surely, filed away somewhere, she could find information on what had happened to the two grey ponies.
Quietly, she left the deserted bungalow. The first true rays of sunlight peeked over the rooftops, cutting through the sagging holes to the rotted wood and furniture inside. Walking at a normal speed, she would be just on time for work. Despite the comfort of routine, however, worry and sadness gnawed at her heart. Despite Daylight's initial reluctance, she had begun to hope that Dinky could have become a kind of friend to her
she'd never had any real friends before.
The reception desk sat empty as Daylight signed in, and she vaguely recalled something about a presentation that daymandatory for all employees. After taking the lift, she peered into the tenth-floor presentation room to see all of the other employees sitting facing a large tapestry of the Eye. Chief Interrogator Redsky stood next to the tapestry, and as Daylight took her usual seat at the back of the room he motioned sharply upwards with a forehoof. The lights dimmed.
For a moment the only light in the room came from the unearthly glow of the Eye, which shimmered momentarily before dissolving into blackness. From the darkness a spectral voice began to magically emanatea familiar voice, one that every pony had repeatedly heard, but a voice that they always tried to forget.
"My friends," it began slowly, seeping into the ears of the audience like a slick poison, "You are all loyal citizens of the State. You do what is asked of you, for the good of every pony in the land, and as such you reap the rewards of civilization. The State provides you with food, clothing, shelter, safety
everything you need. But there are a few
who take without giving."
The audience stirred.
"They take what you work so hard to create. They work to destroy our happiness. They work to destroy our reality. They spread rumors. They spread lies. There is nothing that they won't say or do to ruin all that we hold dear. They must be stopped. They must be punished. "
The ponies around Daylight voiced their approval.
"Now look," the voice began once more, "Look upon the face of the one who instigates this
dissention. "
Light flashed once more from the tapestry, momentarily blinding all the ponies whose eyes had adjusted to the dark. Upon the fabric was now a glowing image of a scarred older Pegasus, glaring evilly out at the audience. Her teal fur was matted with dust and her graying multi-hued mane was bedraggled, lending to her terrifying appearance. She was clad in a strange blue and yellow uniform, and cracked goggles hung loosely about her neck. Deep fuchsia eyes glittered, emanating a kind of wickedness that had Daylight unconsciously rearing back in disgust.
Jeers and hisses rose from the crowd as hooves were stamped against the floor. A dense cloud of hate began to build within the room, the ponies releasing their anger towards the image of the Pegasus, building into a frenzy. One pony, a records clerk with whom Daylight had spoken on a number of occasions, became enraged and seized a small notebook. The tablet was flung violently at the tapestry, which rippled and swayed while she and the others screamed angrily.
These presentations happened every other week or so, and Daylight realized that this was her chance to see if things were really as she feared. She could go and check, just to be safe
find Dinky's records and prove that she and her mother were safe, find out when they would be returned and things would go back to normal. She would discover that Dinky really had been wrong about the past. That things really always had been the way they were and that the Peacekeepers really did keep the peace.
Unnoticed by her infuriated peers, the yellow unicorn slid back out into the hall. She trotted quickly, conscious of every second ticking by, to where she knew that she would find her answers: the only place in the Department that held the absolutely true information.
The Chief Interrogator's office.
The door was locked, as could be expected, and as the Eye on the door peered intently at her Daylight found herself hoping beyond hope that it really was just a painted facsimile and not a real Spectator. Drawing from the magic in her horn, she poked around inside the mechanism of the lock. She carefully manipulated the latch inside, shifting the tiny balls until each one fell through their respective hole with a tiny, nearly inaudible plink.
The door swung inward, revealing the terrifying office she had encountered only the day before. Wasting no time, she immediately set about trying to find the records. The most obvious place to look was the row of filing cabinets behind Redsky's deskdue to their alphabetical nature, the drawer labeled "H" was easy enough for Daylight to find.
A drawer nearly a meter in length rolled open smoothly to reveal an interior filled to the brim with file after file. Daylight began flipping through them: Habit, Halter, Highland, Hillock, Hip, Hiss, Hobnob, Hoof
Aha! Hooves. A sigh of relief escaped Daylight's lips as she saw the file with Dinky's last name. Quickly, she magicked it out and threw it on Redsky's desk before flipping it open.
It was empty. She cursed her luckperhaps the papers were elsewhere? Flinging the empty file to the side in dismay she ripped open Redsky's top desk drawer. A vital records file lay atop a pile of papers, and she picked it up excitedly. Was this it? Noit was labeled Montag, not at all the name Daylight was looking for. She rifled through the rest of the drawer's contents. Inventory reports? No. Staff Timesheets? No!
"No, no, no!" Daylight groaned, scattering loose papers as she went.
"What's the matter, Miss Sparkle? Not finding what you're looking for?"
Daylight froze upon hearing the cold voice, heart pumping loudly in her ears.
"You won't find many files under Hooves, I'm afraid. There aren't any ponies in City Seven with that name. In fact, there are no ponies with that name in any of the Cities," Redsky stated plainly, standing unconcernedly in the doorway, "They don't exist anymore. Or, I should say
they never existed."
Daylight was visibly shaking now as a horrible, hard knot formed in her stomach and her breakfast's contents threatened to attempt a coup on her esophagus. Her worst fears were being confirmedin her mind the only reality she had never known was crashing down around her piece by piece like trees in a hurricane. All that she had ever known and been taught by the State had been a lie. She slowly turned around, searching for a venue of escape.
"Oh, I wouldn't try it, if I were you," Redsky smirked, satisfaction evident in his words, "Even if you did make it out, how far do you think you would get? We were willing to overlook your little escapades in the night and your interactions with individuals of a
less than proper nature. Yes, we know about them. That is our job here, after all, and we make it a point to know everything. But it seems that you have crossed a line today, Miss Sparkle. And now you must face the consequences. My Peacekeepers shall be along momentarily."
Daylight's options were rapidly dwindlingRedsky blocked the only exit, and she was as good as dead if the Peacekeepers caught up. There was no way that she could fight her way out or push through without being killed; Redsky was much larger and more muscular than her, and she had never had any reason to learn how to fight. Redsky began to slowly advance on her, attempting to back her into one of the corners. She had to think quick.
A tiny glint of steel caught her eye from atop Redsky's deskit was her only hope. Without thinking any further about what she was going to do she magically seized the metal calligraphy pen from its holder and catapulted it, point-first, through the air at Redsky with all the force she could muster. It flew straight and true, arcing briefly through the air like a miniature arrow.
Redsky had no time to react before the pen's wickedly sharp point found its mark, just below his jaw. He fell to the floor with a gurgling choke, clutching at his throat with his forehooves. A horrible, dark stream of crimson flowed from between his hooves as he writhed about in anguish, spattering messily across the pristinely cleaned floor. Sluggishly, he jerked forward and looked up at a horrified Daylight, standing over him with her mouth agape in dismay. She met his eyes as the life faded from them, and with a final sigh he became stiff and motionless, a pool of blood growing steadily outward from his body. Daylight's mind went completely numb.
I didn't mean to KILL him! she thought frantically, as if somehow denying her guilt might help, I only meant to HURT him! So I could escape!
Now more than ever, it became apparent to Daylight that she needed to leaveand quickly. She galloped with all her speed from the office and down the emergency stairs at the end of the hall. She couldn't risk the lift stopping on heras soon as the Peacekeepers found the Chief Interrogator, all Hell would break loose. Every Peacekeeper in the city would be on her tail. She wasn't safe there anymore, and neither was Applejack. They would have to run, but to where? Where could they go that the State couldn't catch them?
Daylight was at a loss. She knew first-hoof the capabilities of the State.
And now, they were all turned against her.
Exhausted, Daylight stopped to rest momentarily, panting heavily. She had never run so fast in her life. The Peacekeepers hadn't found her yetthat was good. And the Siren hadn't been set off, either. She hoped that she could get back home to Applejack before it began as once it was tripped, the entire City would be after her.
As if on cue, an eerie wail broke the silence of the mid-morning air. It began almost as a whisper but soon worked its way up to an ear-piercing shriek, emanating magically from the Department building a few kilometers away. Daylight winced and took off again. The Siren had started, and she was running out of time. The tone broke momentarily, switching over to a cool female voice.
"Attention all residents of City Seven: there is a fugitive from justice loose within the city. Name: Daylight Sparkle. Occupation: Department Secretary. She is wanted for murder and treasonous crimes against the State. Watch for a yellow unicorn alone on hoof." The voice shut off as the siren returned to its horrible blare.
Daylight dashed into the shadows behind a large warehouse, knee-deep in snow. Trudging onward, she found her way into a long snaking alley that led six blocks in the right direction. Too soon, however, she found herself facing a broad, open street clear of snow. In plain sight.
Slowly, she peeked out around the corner and onto the frosty road. There was a shopkeeper standing outside of his shop only a few yards from her, intently gazing about the road. Waiting for somepony. Waiting for her.
An idea came to her: these ponies would be looking for a pony who was running. Maybe, just maybe, if she were to simply walk out across the street, as calmly as possible, she would not be noticed. It was a risk, but Daylight had no other option that she could see. She dusted herself off and composed her sweater so that it looked a bit less unkempt. Taking care not to rush, she trotted out onto the street, looking neither left nor right, just walking straight ahead as if she had someplace to be.
She was halfway there
three quarters
and she was across. Her plan seemed to have workedeither the shopkeeper hadn't noticed or hadn't followed. On a side street she broke into a full-out gallop, following it towards home as the Siren repeated its message. As she rounded the last corner to her house she gasped for breath, sprinting the last few meters to the door and flinging it open to reveal a very distressed Applejack standing in the main room.
"Daylight! What in tarnation is goin' on!" She huffed angrily, "They say you killed somepony!"
"No time to talk now!" Daylight rushed to her room, grabbing her saddlebags from the corner, "We've got to go! Run! Get some food and stuff together, we only have a minute or two." The Spectators in each room glared at her, red light blinking furiously. When she returned to the main room Applejack was still standing there, staring off into space. "Come on, Applejack! Quickly!"
Applejack shook her head and blinked, snapping herself out of it. She immediately grabbed her own bags from her bedroom and began packing as much food from the kitchenette as would fit. Then, she opened the cabinet beneath the sink and began rummaging through the rags and bottles.
"Applejack?" Daylight asked nervously. She had already finished packing and was getting antsy waiting for Applejack.
"Ah'm a-comin'. Just give me a sec, will ya?" Applejack said from inside the cabinet, "Aha! Here 'tis!" She pulled out a small brown paper package, slipping it quickly into her right saddlebag.
"What's in that?" Daylight asked, curiously.
"Later," Applejack stated, "Now, would ya mind explainin'" A pounding on the front door that rattled the windowpanes interrupted her.
Daylight whipped around to see the door beginning to buckle, splinters forming on the inside. "I'm going to try something, Applejack, get close to me!"
Applejack's eyes flicked warily between Daylight and the rapidly disintegrating door. "Ahah don't know, Daylight. It's magic, ain't it?"
"Yes, it is, but it may be our only hope! If they get through the door, they'll kill us!"
" Applejack moved to Daylight's side worriedly. Daylight began concentrating on her spell. She wasn't entirely sure how to do this, or if she could even manage it a second time, but she had to try. She wracked her brain for the magic, searching for its power desperately. Her horn began to glow brightly, a hazy yellow aura flickering, waving back and forth and enveloping the two terrified ponies.
With a mighty CRACK the door caved inward, revealing six Peacekeepers. As they stormed into the room, the rush of adrenaline was enough to push Daylight's magic over the edge. With another mighty thunder-crack, the two vanished into thin air.
The Peacekeepers were left staring at each other in wonder, none of them able to understand what had just happened.
A tall shadowy figure sat encircled by burning incense, deep in thought and as motionless as a statue. The pungent smoke permeated the air of the darkened room, hanging in heavy clouds. The figure stared into the swirling trails of smoke as if entranced by some otherworldly deity as a bizarre feeling entered his consciousness. A buzzing ran through his mind, as if some far-off magic was tugging at him, offsetting his thoughts. He inhaled sharply.
"What is this
" he concentrated on the feeling, searching with all his power to bring it back, but found it slipping from his grasp. "
I haven't felt an aura like this for a very long time."
He stood, donning his white coat, and made sure that both his tie and silvery glasses were straight. He walked over to a plinth made of volcanic glass and peered down into a thick, gooey substance held in an inset basin. The unicorn began to channel his magical energy, directing it downward and into the fluid. The goo swirled rapidly, glowing from within, and at once showed him a city street down which a single yellow unicorn was frantically running. He concentrated harder, bringing the image into better focus, and information concerning this new pony flooded his mind.
"Ah, so this is the one. It seems I may have overlooked something
important," he muttered quietly, "Come back to haunt me once more, have you? We'll see."
The image faded once more into dark stillness as the flow of magic ceased, and the pale figure strode from the smoky room and down a long, gilded hallway that led into an enormous, column-lined chamber. A white velveteen carpet spanned the entire length of the marble hall, leading up to an immense banner of the Eye, towering over the chamber and easily soaring twenty meters to the ceiling.
He sat himself on a plain, boxy throne beneath the Eye and stared forward, towards the grand entrance to the hall. He had to wait only a moment before a lone pink figure came skipping through the doorway and up the lengthy carpet. She stopped a couple of meters from his throne, looking upon him with crazed, pin-point pupils, before bowing deeply.
He spoke. "Ah, my most faithful servant. I see you have anticipated my need."
The pink pony looked upward, causing her long curls to bounce around her face. "Of course! Don't I always, Mr. Malevie?" she sang gaily.
"Yes," he said calmly. "I have a new game for you."
"Oh? What is it? What is it?" she bounced in excitement.
"It's a bit like hide and seek: I give you a pony to find, and you go and get them for me."
"Ooh, sounds fun! Do I get to play with them when I find them?" she asked eagerly.
A wicked grin slid over Maleve's face. "Certainly. Take the Public Servant along with you as wellit should make things more
"Okee-dokey-lokey! So who do I look for?" the pony asked curiously.
"Find me the one called Daylight Sparkle."

Is it farther or further?
late 14c., wosen, verbal derivative of Old English noun wos "juice, sap," from Proto-Germanic *wosan (cf. Middle Low German wose "scum"), from same source as ooze (n.). Modern spelling from late 1500s. The Old English verb was wesan. Related: Oozed; oozing.
"soft mud," Old English wase "soft mud, mire," from Proto-Germanic *waison (cf. Old Saxon waso "wet ground, mire," Old Norse veisa "pond of stagnant water"), from PIE *weis- "to flow" (see virus). Modern spelling is mid-1500s.
To move or walk slowly; glide or slide; saunter: I'd ooze across the street and into the bar (1940s+ Black)
Object oriented extension of Z. "Object Orientation in Z", S. Stepney et al eds, Springer 1992.
pelagic (deep-sea) sediment of which at least 30 percent is composed of the skeletal remains of microscopic floating organisms. Oozes are basically deposits of soft mud on the ocean floor. They form on areas of the seafloor distant enough from land so that the slow but steady deposition of dead microorganisms from overlying waters is not obscured by sediments washed from the land. The oozes are subdivided first into calcareous oozes (containing skeletons made of calcium carbonate) and siliceous oozes (containing skeletons made of silica) and then are divided again according to the predominant skeleton type. Thus, the calcareous oozes include globigerina ooze, containing the shells of planktonic foraminifera, and pteropod ooze, made up chiefly of the shells of pelagic mollusks. The siliceous oozes include radiolarian ooze, comprising essentially brown clay with more than 30 percent of the skeletons of warm-water protozoa, and diatom ooze, containing the frustules (tiny shells) of diatoms. The siliceous oozes exist only where the rate of deposition of diatoms or radiolarians is greater than the rate at which their silica content is dissolved in the deep waters; thus the diatom oozes are confined to belts in the North Pacific and Antarctic, and the radiolarian oozes are found only under the eastern part of the North Pacific. Globigerina ooze is the most widespread of the oozes and occurs in both the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Pteropod ooze is found only in the mid-Atlantic.

Rebels in Syria weigh American vow of aid
June 15, 2013 12:00 AMCAIRO -- As a group of rebels gathered in an apartment in Aleppo, Syria's largest city, debating the value of the U.S. decision to provide them with weapons, government forces nearby began pounding an opposition-held neighborhood.
The opposing events led the group to focus on a question asked Friday by many in Syria's beleaguered opposition: Would the promised aid come in time, or would be it be too little, too late?
An older rebel who leads a few dozen fighters on one of the front lines in Aleppo was skeptical. "I'll believe that America is helping us when I see American arms in my group's hands, not statements and food baskets," said the 40-year-old fighter, who calls himself Abu Zaki.
At the same time, he said, he did not understand U.S. fears that arms would go to Al Nusra Front, a rebel group linked to al-Qaida, since it has never attacked Western targets.
The announcement Thursday that the United States had concluded that the forces of Syrian President Bashar Assad had used chemical weapons, and that President Barack Obama was now prepared to send light arms and ammunition to the rebels, set off a similar debate around the world. Allies and adversaries of the Syrian president argued whether the decision would help speed the conflict's end or only escalate the bloodshed.
"What are we going to do about the fact that in our world today, there is a dictatorial and brutal leader who is using chemical weapons under our noses against his own people?" British Prime Minister David Cameron asked in an interview with The Guardian newspaper.
Mr. Assad's allies in Russia and Iran condemned Mr. Obama's decision, and the leader of the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, vowed to continue fighting on behalf of the Syrian government "wherever needed."
In a phone call Friday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey V. Lavrov told U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry that U.S. support for the opposition risked escalation in the region.
Syria's conflict began in March 2011 with protests calling for political reform. Since then, it has evolved into a civil war. The war, which the United Nations said Thursday had killed more than 90,000 people, has accented sectarian divisions inside Syria and across the Middle East.
The rebels mostly hail from Syria's Sunni Muslim majority and are primarily backed by the Sunni monarchies of Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Mr. Assad's government has long given privilege to members of his Alawite minority and is backed by the region's Shiites, including Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah. Their strategic alliance allows Iran to use Syria as a crucial land link for delivery of arms to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Once the government, with Hezbollah's help, managed to rout the rebels from the city of Qusair, there were fears that the forces would move on Aleppo. It was not clear Friday whether the heavy fighting represented the start of an all-out attack or just another skirmish, but the timing served to magnify the significance of Washington's announcement. Fighting that anti-government activists described as the heaviest in months raged Friday around the eastern rebel-held neighborhood of Sakhour, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based group that relies on a network of contacts in Syria.
A rebel commander reached in Aleppo via Skype called the U.S. decision "good news," but said what the rebels really needed were anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles. Reflecting the questions that remain about which rebels the United States will arm, the commander, Jamal Maarouf, said he did not know whether his group would qualify. "The American said they will arm moderate battalions," he said. "I don't know if my battalion is moderate."

Colorado Rapids' decisions on Dillon Powers, others coming later this week
Posted By Daniel Boniface On April 23, 2014 @ 7:23 am In Colorado Rapids,Injuries,Major League Soccer | No Comments
The Colorado Rapids are off on Wednesday — a scheduled day of rest — and it looks like the team can use the extra recovery day as it prepares to take on Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday at CenturyLink Field.
Dillon Powers, the team's MVP in 2013 and an important cog in the Rapids' offense this season [1], missed training on Tuesday as he received treatment for what was only described as lower leg soreness.
"I'm not a doctor, brother," Rapids coach Pablo Mastroeni said Tuesday after training. "I get the report, it says lower leg soreness."
It wasn't clear where Powers picked up the injury, as he played all 90 minutes Saturday against San Jose. Mastroeni said the team would make a decision as the game gets closer.
"Think we're going to look into that later in the week," Mastroeni said. "Day by day. I'm not concerned."
Holding midfielder Jose Mari, who missed Saturday's match against San Jose, was participating in limited training off to the side on Tuesday, along with Grant Van De Casteele and Marc Burch.
Jose Mari told Chris Bianchi of mlssoccer.com that he expected to be ready Saturday, barring any further setbacks [2].
Further clouding the picture, as far as Saturday's starting 11 are concerned, are decisions that must be made regarding Shane O'Neill, Dillon Serna and Marlon Hairston, all of whom are in Carson, Calif. this week training with the U.S. Under-21 National Team [3].

Last week, Mastroeni said he makes his lineup decisions based on what he sees in training [10], so with the trio of youngsters out of his sight for now, he says he'll have some catching up to do with them later this week.
"That's definitely taken into consideration, for sure, and the amount of work, and that's a conversation we're going to have to have probably on Thursday when those guys are flying into Seattle," Mastroeni said.

CHICKASHA– Coming into the day the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (11-8, 1-3) was looking to grab the first conference win of the season.
They ended up splitting the quick two game series against Mid-America Christian University (13-8, 3-2) on Tuesday afternoon.
In the first game of the afternoon, Tate Landmark pitched all six innings while allowing two runs, only one of which was earned for the 2-0 loss. She struck out three batters and allowed five hits in 23 batters faced.
CHICKASHA – In two games against non-conference opponent Roosevelt University, the Drovers (8-12) scored a total of 18 runs — three of which were homers — on Tuesday afternoon at Bill Smith Ballpark. Unfortunately for the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma, RU's Lakers (2-1) also scored big, taking both games by two runs each and scoring those winning runs in top of the seventh. In game one, USAO lead off hitter Ryan Wescott hit two doubles in his four at bats. He scored two runs in the game as well.
CHICKASHA– After an impressive performance in the regular season and an equal notable performance in the Sooner Athletic Conference tournament, Tyler Reynolds was named to the All-SAC Tournament team.
Reynolds joins six other athletes on the team as the lone representative from the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma after averaging 22.3 points per game, including a career-high 26 in the SAC Semifinals against No.22 Wayland Baptist.
SHAWNEE – The No. 22 Wayland Baptist Pioneers bested the Drovers in 40 minutes of action on Friday night in the Sooner Athletic Conference Semifinals at Oklahoma Baptist's Noble Complex.
Wayland Baptist goes on to play eighth-seeded Oklahoma Baptist in the SAC Finals at 7 p.m. Saturday at Oklahoma Baptist's Noble Complex. The winner of the SAC Tournament will receive an automatic bid to the NAIA Men's Basketball National Championship tournament.
SHAWNEE – The No. 11 Oklahoma Baptist Bison (19-0, 6-0) remain undefeated after taking two games from the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (8-10, 0-6) in a Friday evening doubleheader in Shawnee.
It was the Drovers who got on the board first on Friday as Rafael Pena returned home off a double by Jaime Gurrolla in the second inning. Pena went 1-for-3 in the game while Gurrola went 2-for-3.
The Bison went on to score four runs to take the 4-1 win.
SHAWNEE – A strong performance by the Drovers led to another Sooner Athletic Conference tournament win as they upset the third-seeded, nationally-ranked Saint Gregory's Cavaliers 78-74 on Thursday night at Oklahoma Baptist.
The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (15-14) goes on to play Wayland Baptist in the semifinals at 8 p.m. Thursday at Oklahoma Baptist's Noble Complex.
CHICKASHA – The No. 11 Oklahoma Baptist Bison proved too much for the Drovers on Thursday afternoon as USAO dropped 13-3 to the powerful hitters.
It is the first time the undefeated Bison (17-0, 4-0) have allowed a team to score three runs against them.
With the game ending in eight innings, the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma (8-8, 0-4) will look to take the series win in Friday evening's doubleheader in Shawnee. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m.
CHICKASHA – Now into conference action, the Drover softball team's mix young talent and veteran players is proving to be a successful combination — especially once the growing pains work out.
"This season is off to a pretty good start," Drover catcher Kayla Adams said. "We have a lot of freshmen on the team so we are trying to get them acclimated to the new environment of college ball versus high school ball … we are all trying right now to mesh as a team."

I've often thought of this situation and I'm wondering what others thoughts are on it. You're in a convienant store type setting, not too many people around if any. Someone comes in to stick up the place, pulls a gun on the cashier demanding money. You are have a clear view of what is going on and know the BG is alone, and he is unaware of you. What do you do?
The clerk is in clear danger of his life, if possible do you shoot the BG (preferably in the head, given you have the opportunity) or do you do nothing? The way I see it, it's justifiable b/c an innocent life is in clear danger. Also if I put myself in the situation of the clerk then I'd sure be praying for an act of God to come and eliminate the BG.

The Jo Bros' tour has officially been canceled, HollywoodLife.com has confirmed. Kevin, Nick and Joe need to resolve issues, a source has revealed. Read on for all the details!
Jonas Brothers fans are going crazy! On Oct. 9, a report surfaced that the band, which the three brothers formed in 2005, is canceling their tour! Now their spokesperson, Jesse Derris, has confirmed to HollywoodLife.com that the rumor is true. We know what really went down behind the scenes.
The Jonas Brothers Cancel Tour
"They just canceled the tour, after a successful summer tour," a source close to the band told HollywoodLife.com exclusively. "They had to resolve their issues about the music and direction of the band. I's not a personal fight, it's about the music. They are brothers, they love each other. Yes, they are still speaking."
We sure hope this is true! It was a shock when Philadelphia radio station Q102 broke the news that Kevin Jonas, 25, Joe Jonas, 24, and Nick Jonas, 21, were canceling their 19-date tour of the US and Canada that was scheduled to kick off on Oct. 11, allegedly after a huge fight.
Then came more bad news — "There is a deep rift within the band," Jessie told People mag. "There was a big a disagreement over their music direction."
Fans Shouldn't Worry — 'They Are Not Going To Break Up'
It caused quite the uproar from fans on Twitter, who didn't want to believe it.
"Fans can get a refund at their point of sale," the brothers' spokesperson, Jesse told HollywoodLife.com, assuring those who purchased tickets for tour would be getting their money back.
While fans feared the worst — that the band was breaking up — a source close to the brothers insisted to HollywoodLife that the tour cancellation does not mean that the band is splitting.
"It really isn't as bad as things sound. Now that they can make more decisions about their career, they are taking it super seriously because they want to be around 30 years from now," explained the source. "So canceling a tour to get their sh-t together will pay off handsomely in their future. They are not going to break up."
Additionally, the source added that this tour was all about new music, but "they need to get all the creative pieces figured out first."
So, HollywoodLifers — are you shocked the Jonas Brothers have canceled their tour?

I called this last year. Kevins WIFE! She's weird, needy, depressed, her family runs her………… IT WAS DEFINATELY BECAUSE SHE WANTS HIM HOME! You can see that she's slow, immature and needs attention. Plus……..that ugly, foolish sister of hers NEEDS to be number one. If they're on the road…………….what money will she make? She needs to be on the show. She…..the wife has issues. The whole family does. Her family THINKS because she's married to a "JONAS", that they rule the house. Can't stand any of them anymore. This is why I think reality shows ruin people. You REALLY get to see them for who they are. If I never saw this show….I would still have my fantasy in my mind. Now, I know and SEE they are SLOW!

We stayed in the hotel for a week in August 2014 during my husband's business trip to Kunming. The hotel is centrally located, close to the metro and the business centre of the town.

Dreams are rudiments of the great state to come. We dream what is about to happen.A dream is an event transpiring in that world belonging to the mind when the objective senses have withdrawn into rest or oblivion. A dream to the average or sensual person bears the same relation to his objective life that it maintained in the case of the ideal dreamer, but it means pleasures, sufferings and advancements on a lower or material plane.

NBC NATIONAL NEWS — In a statement just out this morning North Korea's army said that the moment of explosion is approaching fast.
A South Korean news agency reports one of Kim Jong Un's mid range missiles is on the move raising fears of a nuclear attack.
"They have nuclear capacity,now," said Chuck Hagel, Secretary of Defense, "They have missile delivery capacity now."
North Korea's military said it got final approval to use what it calls smaller, lighter more diversified weapons.
Two thirds of South Koreans want their own nuclear arsenal for protection.
"The last thing the world needs is more nuclear nations," exclaimed John Kerry, Secretary of State.
"I don't think that he's interested in a confrontation with the United States. We have thirty thousand troops there," explained Ellen Tauscher, former Undersecretary of state, International Security.
For a second day South Koreans returned away from the Border Industrial Park jointly run by the north and south.
As for an attack the U.S.. thinks north Koreans weapons can reach no further than South Korea but we're sending a ballistic missile defense system to Guam just in case.

Excellent! :) Of course, as you may already be aware, currently the livecd uses Makefiles to script the build which we keep in the livecd repo. When I first wrote them there were several reasons I opted for Makefiles instead of using, say, nALFS ;) I know that might look bad being the ALFS project lead and all... :) Anyway, any objection to learning and using the Makefiles? -- JH

It takes all three "legs" to support our businesses and
households—the Federal Government, the Petroleum Sector,
all other resources combined! For 20 years now, Alaska's
prosperous and growing economy has enabled us to
successfully operate private businesses. In today's uncertain
times, it is essential that each Alaskan understand and actively
support our economy—the "three-legged stool"—in order
to keep it strong.

Our PFD relies on Big Oil, too!
The Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) check that most Alaskans receive each year has been a beloved state tradition since 1976.
Did you know that over 20 percent of the Permanent Fund's top 50 stock holdings is made up of oil and gas companies? When these companies make money, the Fund profits and Alaskans benefit from a good investment. Fostering a healthy, high-performing Permanent Fund is another reason why Alaskans have good reason to celebrate oil and gas companies' solid financial performance.
