South Jordan family prays, fights for daughter caught in red tape of international adoption
Kristin Murphy, Deseret News
SOUTH JORDAN — When people ask Jenna DenBleyker how many children she has, she's never quite sure what to say.
"It's a hard answer for me," she said. "Usually I'll say five and one on the way. People will be like, 'Are you pregnant?' Not exactly. It's a very long gestation."
Close to five years, in fact.
At least that's how long it's been since DenBleyker, her husband, Jeff, and their children have been waiting to bring their would-be daughter home from Guatemala.
"In 2007, we got a picture of a beautiful little girl named Jazmin and she caught our heart and we decided to start the process to adopt her," Jeff DenBleyker said. "That was about a month after we started the adoption process on our other daughter, Chloe. … In April 2008, we brought Chloe home."
But the process stalled when it came to the other little girl, whom they planned to call Lauren Jazmin. The girl who has grown up in an orphanage as Jazmin will turn 5 on Saturday.
"She's been called Jazmin her whole life, so we'll let her choose whether she wants to be called Jazmin or Lauren Jazmin," Jenna DenBleyker said. "For her every birthday we've done a birthday party with a cake, present, balloons. We sing. We get it on video so if she comes home next year, she'll know we've always celebrated."
But the DenBleykers have become accustomed to the persistent unknown, the irrepressible "if" — if the birth mother is found and can undergo an interview; if the numerous court hearings aren't postponed; if their Guatemala-based "angel" Miriam can get the ear of the right government official.
"The government has told us there's no problem with our case, it's an easy case," Jeff DenBleyker said. "There's no problem with our paperwork. However, they do not move our case forward."
"The DenBleykers are the perfect example of people caught in the red tape of international adoption," said Suzanne Stott, who has worked with the family as the executive director of Families for Children.
Stott has been working in international adoptions for upwards of 33 years and said what happened to the DenBleykers could have as much to do with the Netherlands as it does with Guatemala. Back in 1993, the Hague Adoption Convention was held in an effort to establish "international standards of practices for intercountry adoptions," according to the U.S. Department of State's Intercountry Adoption website. The United States signed the convention in 2004 and it went into effect for the nation in 2008.
Guatemala's new adoption law went into effect on Jan. 1, 2008. The DenBleykers were told that any cases initiated under the old law would be grandfathered in and completed under the prior process. They began the adoption process with both Chloe and Jazmin before Dec. 31, 2007.
"In 2008, the government required a final interview of the birth mother that had not been required previously," Jeff DenBleyker said. "We were initially supposed to be following the old law of Guatemala for adoptions … the government was supposed to follow the old law's requirements and we were meeting all of those requirements."
Chareyl Moyes, a program manager for Wasatch International Adoptions, said the country was not in compliance with the regulations set forth under the Hague Convention. Because the United States is a Hague country, it can't process adoptions with a Hague country that is not in compliance, she said.
Moyes does not know the DenBleykers, but she was handling a number of Guatemala-based cases when she realized the country's adoptions would soon close and she struggled to get them completed before it was too late. She was able to complete the adoptions she was handling, but 900 families weren't so lucky.

HPV data fails to flag aboriginal girls
Lack of monitoring vaccinations troubling
More girls in Manitoba are getting vaccinated against the human papillomavirus that can cause cervical cancer.
However, nobody appears to be watching the vaccination rate on aboriginal communities despite rising concerns over cervical cancer rates for aboriginal women.
Manitoba Health statistics show 4,700 Grade 6 girls received the Gardasil vaccine during the 2009-2010 school year, a 16 per cent increase from the previous year.
But when asked for data on the vaccination rate for aboriginal girls, the federal and provincial governments funding and running vaccination programs against four strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV) could not provide that information.
Health Canada said data is collected by the Manitoba Immunization Monitoring System (MIMS), including shots given on reserves. But Manitoba Health said MIMS does not record information based on ethnicity unless aboriginal girls declare their status. That means that neither the province nor Health Canada monitor vaccination rates on reserves.
"Health Canada ensures that on-reserve First Nations and Inuit outside the territories have access to all routine immunizations as per provincial immunization schedules, including the HPV vaccine, Gardasil," said a Health Canada spokesman. "All provinces have implemented HPV programs and are delivering these programs to First Nation girls living on reserve."
The lack of tracking of aboriginal vaccination rates comes at a time when researchers are discovering that aboriginal women are three times more likely to develop cervical cancer than other Canadians. They are four times more likely to die of the disease. And they may be susceptible to different strains: A recent study found that aboriginal women in northern Quebec were exposed to different strains of HPV than commonly found elsewhere in that province.
At an HPV conference in Montreal last summer, National Aboriginal Health Organization executive director Paulette Tremblay raised alarm bells about the lack of information on HPV immunization efforts among aboriginals and a lack of information about HPV and cervical-cancer prevention in aboriginal communities.
She concluded there is an HPV information gap for aboriginal girls. "(Education) depends on who you are and where you are," she said Thursday.
"These people are really very different. We don't have any national data available within the community itself."
What is genital HPV?
THE human papillomavirus includes many strains that cause common warts. Others are sexually transmitted and can cause genital disease. There are two types of genital HPV: Some strains are high risk and linked to cervical cancer; other strains are low risk and are linked to genital warts.
There's no cure for HPV, but screening through regular pap testing can help find abnormal cells that can be removed before they become cancerous.
Gardasil is a popular vaccine that is offered to Manitoba girls in Grade 6 to protect against four of the most common strains of HPV.
Condoms can reduce transmission risk of genital HPV, but because it is spread by skin-to-skin contact, there is still a risk of transmission.

Our take: Rev. Sun Myung Moon, the Korean-born founder of the Unification Church, died Sunday in Korea. In 1982, he founded The Washington Times newspaper. In this editorial, The Washington Times reviews the impacts Moon had on the paper and its mission statement with his encouragement to promote principles of faith and freedom.
The Rev. Sun Myung Moon died in Korea on Sunday at the age of 92. He founded The Washington Times in 1982, and through it maintained a strong voice at the highest levels of national and international affairs. Over 30 years, the preeminent challenges of the day have changed, from the Communist threat during the Cold War to the contemporary dangers posed by suffocating debt. Throughout it all, The Washington Times has remained constant in articulating the importance of the values of faith, family, freedom and service to serve as guiding lights to help the country and world navigate the rough waters. These were the guiding lights ignited by Rev. Moon.
Rev. Moon put not only his treasure — but his heart — into this newspaper. Reflecting on this commitment and the central role The Washington Times plays in the nations capital, many curious observers asked and some critics speculated on his motivation. All the while, the simple answer was standing there for everyone to see in those four guiding principles. As the summer of 2012 turns into autumn, the newspaper founded by Rev. Moon sits on the cusp of its fourth decade. Its raison detre is relevant now more than ever, and this institution stands as a monumental legacy to its founder. Because of the timelessness of this message to the future, and to honor the man responsible for it, this is an opportune time to review the mission and how it developed over the passing days.

In a sea of troubles, ranging from the continuing European debt crisis to a major bank being up-ended by a "whale," the highest-quality government and corporate bonds continue to provide a safe harbor for investors—even if they have to settle for record-low yields.
U.S. Treasury yields extended their descent to within a few basis points, or hundredths of a percentage point, of record lows while yields on obligations of other trustworthy governments plumbed new depths even as those on dubious debtors blew out further. And while that left investors parched for income, credit-worthy corporations quaffed on the liquidity sloshing through the financial system to borrow at record-low interest rates.
The travails that sent yields falling can be found in other columns, but suffice it to say that Greece's inability to form a government, casting doubt on its adherence to austerity required for its bailout, sent the yield on its 10-year bond to nearly 25% from 20.50% a week earlier. More importantly, Spain's 10-year bond was knocking on the 6% mark, up from 5.75% a week earlier. The 6% level was the tipping point for the descent by Greece and Ireland into needing bailouts. The plight of Spanish banks poses a far greater risk than Greece, with one institution needing a €20 billion bailout and major banks needing to raise capital to cover €30 billion in loan losses.
Meanwhile the flight to safety sent the yield on the benchmark 10-year German bund to a record low of just 1.50% before ending the week at 1.52%, a drop of six basis points on the week. And the yield on the 10-year Japanese government bond sank further, to 0.85% from 0.89%.

The 10-year Treasury note traded below a 1.80% yield at midweek and ended Friday at 1.84%, down 3.5 basis points on the week and about 20 basis points from the all-time low touched last September. The 30-year bond flirted with 3% and ended the week at 3.017%, down five basis points on the week.
IN ADDITION TO THE U.S. government, which was able to auction 10-year notes with a record-low 1.75% coupon and 30-year bonds with a record-tying 3.125% coupon, blue-chip corporations also were able to borrow at ultra-low interest rates.

Notwithstanding their relative valuations, mutual-fund data show individual investors continue to flee equity funds and attractively priced stocks in favor of bond funds with yields at record lows. That is likely to continue as long as risks keep driving them to the safe harbor of high- quality bonds.

Paradowski Creative moving to Webster Groves
- Matthew Hibbard
- Social Engagement Manager - St. Louis Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Facebook | Google+
Less than three months after the company's sale, ad agency Paradowski Creative is moving in September from its office at 1928 Locust St. just west of downtown to the Owen Ridge Campus in Webster Groves.
Paradowski has occupied 8,000 square feet of the second floor of the historic former Stern Fixture complex on Locust for about three years now. Alex and Nila Paradowski, former principals in Paradowski Creative, own the property, which underwent an $8 million overhaul in 2007.
Paradowski Creative was sold in July to Columbia, Mo.-based marketing agency Woodruff Sweitzer for an undisclosed amount.
Gus Hattrich, president of Paradowski Creative, said the reason for the agency's move was to allow ad agency Fusion Marketing to expand its presence in the downtown building.
Hattrich said Paradowski will move into about 12,000 square feet of space at the Owen Ridge Campus, on Marshall Avenue at Glen Road, sometime in September.
He declined to disclose terms of Paradowski's new lease, but the 12,000-square-foot space could cost between $186,000 and $234,000 annually, based on average rates in the Building Owners & Managers Association (BOMA) Leasing Guide published in July.
Hattrich did not disclose revenue figures, he did say Paradowski is in a growth phase. It employs about 30 people at its downtown office. Hattrich said the agency is in the process of building its staff and plans to hire five to eight people in the next four months.
Paradowski lost a portion of Monsanto's U.S. commercial business and was forced to lay off employees last fall. The company was able to retain Monsanto as a client, creating the seed company's "St. Louis Grown" campaign.
Since then, Hattrich said, the ad agency has reeled in five to 10 business wins in the last 30 days. Its clients include the state of Missouri, Cutex Nails and Bulldog Gin. The agency also is working with Brown Shoe, The Wine Group and the Radio Arts Foundation of St. Louis, among others.

By Amy Phillips and Carrie Battan on September 7, 2012 at 2:04 a.m. EDT
The MTV Video Music Awards have come and gone once again, and this year was pretty tame, with few OMG moments. There was nothing as dramatic as Kanyegate or Beyoncé's baby bump (though we got one from Amber Rose), but there were a few notable moments.
While Frank Ocean did not win Best New Artist (One Direction took that crown) or Best Male Video (which went to Chris Brown), he did get a shout-out from host Kevin Hart during his opening monologue, as well as a performance of channelORANGE highlight "Thinking About You" next to a campfire:
Astonishingly, A$AP Rocky has ridden a couple of good singles, a pretty face and enviable wardrobe to a position on stage with none other than Rihanna. To kick off the evening's events, the two performed the new remix of "Cockiness", which features a verse from Rocky. He wore awkward shorts and a vest, and snuck in a quick kiss:
2 Chainz and Lil Wayne performed their self-admittedly terrible song "Yuck", with Wayne entering the stage via skateboard (and exiting via stagedive). Wayne also performed "No Worries" from his new Dedication 4 mixtape:
Alicia Keys performed new single "Girl on Fire" with guest appearances from Nicki Minaj... and a surprise appearance from Olympic gold metal gymnast Gabby Douglas:
M.I.A. took home VMAs for Best Direction and Best Cinematography for the instant-classic clip for "Bad Girls", though those awards were not televised, while Drake and Lil Wayne won Best Hip-Hop Video for the amazing "HYFR" video (read our interview with the director here).
During the pre-show, Green Day gave an interview with MTV's James Montgomery that talked about their support for Pussy Riot, and even showed a clip of the Pussy Riot video released today:

Ham Shank Again
First I have to appologize. I know I asked this question last year before Christmas and got wonderful responses, but I can't find this post. I tried to search for ham and pork and using my name, I can't find it:(
I wanted to do this last year, but didn't get a right ham. So this year I bought Ham Shank and want to roast it.
I don't like sweet meat and I like to have meat flavor to dominate. So I am looking for simple way to roast Ham shank w/o glase, etc. I want it juicy, not dry, this is the main thing. So what would be the best oven temperature to roast it, any other recommedations? I saw post on the current page for fresh ham. I can use this recipe probably, but my ham shank unfortunately has no skin.
So would you do to get a simple juicy pork from skinless ham shank?
Thank you very much.
Is it pre-cooked? If so, you basically want to warm it. I'm still a fan of the electric roaster. Don't recall a time when I really had anything dried out in there. Otherwise a baking bag or wrap it in foil. It can also make a difference on how much water has been injected.
Is this the thread you were looking for?
This post was edited by cynic on Sat, Dec 22, 12 at 19:50
Olga, here is your thread from last year. Try searching google under your name. It works much better then Gardenweb's search feature.
Thank you very much. Great advice to search using google instead of Gardenweb and big thanks for finding my last year post. I tried Gardenweb :(
It is not pre-cooked and it will not fit into even biggest crock pot. I need to roast it in the oven.

On Would You Work the Overnight Shift In Exchange for Free Tuition?
I would totally do that. My last year of college, I was working 40 hours, taking 15 hours worth of classes, I had a boyfriend, and volunteered in our campus photography lab so I could have access to it whenever I wanted to. I didn't sleep much, but it was 2 of the 4 semesters I made Dean's List so I guess I'm more productive when I'm busy. It might be a personality type thing.
On What's Your Limit When Waiting for a Table?
25 minutes. I try to avoid places that don't take reservations, but the two restaurants within walking distance of our house that we really like don't have a reservation system and it's irritating. It would be nice if I could text them that I'm coming! That way they can still seat walk-ins but also I know I'm going to have a table when I get there... in 3 minutes.
On Stars: They're Not Paying Off Their Student Loans Just Like Us!
Mathematically, it probably works out better to invest and pay the student loan off over a longer period of time, but the non-money factor of stress was the biggest factor in our decision to throw money at the problem. We paid off $27,000 in 1 year and 3 months, split into two different pay-off periods- we took a break to save up for a vacation. Would that money have been better spend in an investment account until my husband graduates? Yes. But even my dad, who is a wealth manager, agreed that if the student loan was stressing me out, we should just get rid of it. We did, and I feel so MUCH better now that it's gone. That's not a factor that a lot of people factor in, but they should. I have way fewer panic attacks now that it's gone and I know we can start saving up for a down payment for a house soon (we're going on vacation again in May to a resort that I really want to stay at before we leave our state and it is $$$). Or another car, should it come to that when we move.

At the start of the season, it seemed fair to wonder whether the back of the Red Sox rotation would struggle. But few would have anticipated the across-the-board difficulties of the starting staff in the season's initial two weeks, something that has played a significant factor in the team's second straight horrible performance to open the year.
The latest sub-standard outing came on Friday against the Yankees, as Clay Buchholz pitched well for much of the day but, by his estimation, made five mistakes, all of them over the middle of the plate, all of them getting punished. The right-hander matched a career-high by allowing five home runs in the game, the key component of a 6-2 loss. More alarming for the Red Sox, it wasn't even his worst outing of the year.
Buchholz gave up seven runs in four innings against the Tigers in his first start of 2012. In his next outing against the Rays, he nearly saw the game get away from him in a four-run first but then recovered to pitch seven innings. Still, he allowed five runs that game. And then, of course, there was Friday, when the Yankees took him deep five times.
In Buchholz's favor, each of the five blasts was of the solo variety, thus limiting the damage to six runs (five earned). Even so, he failed to execute with the consistency needed to shut down his opponent.
"Against a good hitting team like that, that's stuff we can't do," said catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. "It's like throwing David [Ortiz] a fastball middle-in. It's dangerous. He's still finding it a little bit. His last start he had to work. Today he had to work. It's all falling into place little by little. You just have to be patient. I think he'll be OK."
As Saltalamacchia suggested, Buchholz's struggles on Friday did not occur in isolation. A pitcher who was expected to give the Sox consistent quality starts has done precisely the opposite.
Buchholz has allowed five or more earned runs in all three of his starts this year. He is one of just three pitchers in the majors (joining Tim Lincecum of the Giants and Francisco Liriano of the Twins) to do so, in what represents a dramatic career departure.
In 2010-11, Buchholz made 42 starts and allowed five or more earned runs in four games (9.5 percent). This year, in just three starts, he's nearly matched that number. It marks the first time he's ever allowed five-plus earned runs in three straight starts.
Worse for the Red Sox, Buchholz has not been alone in his struggles. In 13 games, the Sox have gotten just five quality starts to date this season, tied for 22nd in the majors. Jon Lester and Josh Beckett each have delivered two of those with Daniel Bard claiming the only other one; neither Buchholz nor Felix Doubront has given the Sox a single outing that has lived up the standard for a quality start (six or more innings, three or fewer runs).
On the other hand, the Sox are getting terrible starts with greater frequency than any other team in the majors. On six occasions, a Sox starter has allowed five or more runs, tied with the Twins for the most in the majors.
The result? As a group, Sox starters have a 2-7 record and a 6.09 ERA that ranks second-to-last in the majors. For a group that is viewed as having terrific stuff, the outcomes have been both puzzling and costly in the early going.
"It's frustrating, and I know for them it's frustrating too. They're too good not to go out there and dominate. All of them have four plus pitches that can dominate this league," said Saltalamacchia. "These guys are good. There's no doubt about it. You can't judge a guy off a couple of outings."
Pitching coach Bob McClure echoed that sentiment.
"I expect that we'll definitely go on a run of quality starts. I think it will even out," he said. "The sooner the better, but they're all very capable and I think they will."
Indeed, manager Bobby Valentine remains convinced that he has seen the raw ingredients for success, but that the recipe for his starting staff remains just slightly off, even as he acknowledged the role that the starters' struggles has played in the team's overall performance.
"That has something to do with the record too," said Valentine. "But we've been in most games. Our starting pitching has allowed us to be in all but two games of the few that we've played so far. That's all we ask. Just give us a chance.
"It's an amazing, you know, [16]-day sample. You look around baseball, There's a few of those things that are just inexplicable right now. Maybe the long season will have it all even out," he continued. "I think our starting pitching has been good with bad innings. And it's similar to our bullpen. It's been good with bad innings. When you don't have a large number of innings to offset the bad one then the numbers are really inflated, the runs per and the ERA and all those things."
Yet as certain measures of the team's starting performance inflate, the effect has undoubtedly been deflating. A team cannot go through life with a six-plus ERA from its starting staff and hope to excel.
That was a lesson reinforced quite painfully for the Sox last September, when the starters had a collective 7.08 ERA that represented the single biggest factor in the team's 7-20 collapse. So far in 2012, the results have been strikingly similar.
The development was one that the team could ill-afford in 2011 and that it cannot stomach for much more of 2012. Armed with a 4-9 record after four straight home losses, the need for improvement is reaching the critical stage.
"I'm not going to spend the whole season thinking about the talent that we got. We have to start winning games," said David Ortiz. "I know that in everybody's mind it's the beginning of the season, but what is it going to take, until July for us to start winning? We need to step up, do something different and make things happen."

After school shooting, U.S. lawmakers eye assault weapons
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A growing number of U.S. lawmakers - including a leading pro-gun senator - called on Monday for a look at curbing assault weapons like the one used in a massacre at a Connecticut grade school, a sign that attitudes toward gun control could be shifting.
Senator Joe Manchin, a conservative West Virginia Democrat who has earned top marks from the gun industry, said Congress and weapons makers should come together on a "sensible, reasonable approach" to curbing rifles like the one used in the killings Friday of 20 young children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown.
A hunter and member of the National Rifle Association, Manchin said the availability of such high-powered weapons does not make sense and called on the gun lobby group to cooperate with a reform of the nation's gun laws.
A 10-year U.S. ban on assault weapons expired in 2004.
"We've got to sit down. I ask all my friends at NRA - and I'm a proud NRA member and always have been - we need to sit down and move this dialogue to a sensible, reasonable approach to fixing it," he told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program.
"Never before have we seen our babies slaughtered. This never happened in America, that I can recall, ever seeing this kind of carnage," said Manchin, an avid hunter who once ran a campaign ad showing him firing a rifle at an environmental bill. "This has changed where we go from here."
The NRA, which gave Manchin its top rating and endorsed him in his two runs for the Senate, has been influential against limiting gun sales and has succeeded in loosening restrictions on some high-powered combat weapons intended for military use.
There has been little word from Republican lawmakers, who are traditionally strong gun rights advocates, since the attacks, and widespread reports across the country of higher gun sales during the weekend by those worried about a crackdown.
David Gregory, the host of NBC's "Meet the Press" said on Sunday the talk show had invited all 31 "pro-gun" senators to appear, but all 31 declined.
Republican congressional leaders did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Monday.
Residents of Newtown on Monday held the first two of 20 funerals of children shot to death in their classroom.
Police said Adam Lanza was armed with hundreds of bullets in high-capacity magazines of about 30 rounds each for a Bushmaster AR 15 rifle, the assault weapon he used on the children and staff, and two handguns he carried into the school. He had a fourth weapon, a shotgun, in his car outside.
Lanza, 20, killed his mother at home earlier in the day and then shot himself at the school, police said.
The rampage is the latest in a string of mass shootings nationwide that have prompted little movement toward addressing the availability of weapons in the United States and the country's relatively lax gun laws.
U.S. President Barack Obama called on Sunday for the country to change its approach to violence but did not use the word "gun." The White House said on Monday gun control is part but not the entire answer to address the violence in the United States.
A January 2011 mass shooting that almost killed a member of Congress, former U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords, and killed some of her constituents, had not prompted change. But the targeting of children aged 6 and 7 may have shifted attitudes.
An ABC News/Washington Post poll released on Monday said that more than half of Americans believe the Newtown shootings reflect broader problems in society and not an isolated act of a troubled person - more than after other shooting incidents.
The survey also found that 54 percent of Americans - a five-year high - favor stricter gun control laws in general, and 59 percent support a ban on high-capacity ammunition clips.
Illinois Senator Dick Durbin, also a Democrat, said he would call a hearing on gun control next year by the Senate Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights.
New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said Congress "has ducked a serious national debate over common-sense gun laws for too long" and must act ensure to keep guns away from criminals and the mentally ill."
Gillibrand, a friend of Giffords once seen as a pro-gun Democrat, has backed tighter regulation on guns in recent years.
"We should be able to agree that no American should have access to the high-capacity ammunition clips made for our military," Gillibrand wrote in an editorial in the New York Daily News on Monday. "We should be able to agree on closing the gun-show loophole and banning military-style weapons that have no recreational sports use."
A handful of Other pro-gun Democrats showed signs of willingness to consider strengthening gun regulations as well.
John Yarmuth, a U.S. representative from Kentucky, apologized for not having spoken out before. "I have been largely silent on the issue of gun violence over the past six years, and I am now as sorry for that as I am for what happened to the families who lost so much in this most recent, but sadly not isolated, tragedy," he said in a statement.
Representatives for the National Rifle Association did not return a request for comment. The lobby group has no statement on the school shooting on its website. It has not posted any comments on social media since Friday. On Saturday, it said it had no comment until the shooting's facts are known.
Senator Dianne Feinstein said Sunday she would introduce legislation this week to ban assault weapons. The Democratic lawmaker authored the previous ban that lapsed in 2004.
Manchin acknowledged that Congress is focused on resolving the so-called fiscal cliff until the end of the year but signaled movement on the gun issue after that, a sentiment echoed by other lawmakers.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
13 Dec 2013 15:14 GMT | Politics, Asia, Bangladesh, Pakistan
A wave of violence has swept through Bangladesh after the hanging of an opposition leader convicted of war crimes committed during the bloody 1971 war of independence.
Fears that the execution of Abdul Quader Mollah, 65, the first person to be put to death for massacres committed during the war, were realised on Friday, as activists torched homes and businesses belonging to government supporters in a fresh wave of bloodshed ahead of elections next month.
Mollah was a senior leader of the Jamaat-e-Islami party which has called the execution a "political murder" and warned of exacting revenge for "every drop" of his blood.
Two activists from the ruling Awami League were hacked to death in the southern town of Kalaroa, while Jamaat activists also firebombed train stations and blockaded roads, according to police sources.
One person died in clashes between police and Jamaat supporters in the southern district of Noakhali and a driver was reportedly killed after Jamaat protesters chased him down.
Opposition groups in Bangladesh also called for a countrywide strike on Sunday.
Opinion divided
Deputy law minister Quamrul Islam announced Mollah's execution, saying he was hanged by the neck on Friday in a jail in the capital, Dhaka.
"It's an historic moment. Finally after four decades, the victims of the genocides of 1971 liberation war have got some justice," Islam told the AFP news agency.

Quamrul Islam, Deputy law minister
"It's the best gift for [the] nation as we celebrate the Victory Day on December 16," he said, referring to the national day that marked Bangladesh's independence war victory against Pakistan.
The government says Pakistani soldiers, aided by local collaborators, killed 3 million people and raped 200,000 women during the war.
Thousands of secular protesters erupted in celebration as news of the execution came. They had been camping at Shahbagh square in Dhaka for days, shouting slogans including: "Hang Quader Mollah, hang war criminals".
Mollah was found guilty in February of having been a leader of a pro-Pakistan militia which fought against the country's independence and killed some of Bangladesh's top professors, doctors, writers and journalists.
He was convicted of rape, murder and mass murder, including the killing of more than 350 unarmed civilians.
Mollah was one of five Islamists and other politicians sentenced to death by a much-criticised war tribunal, which the opposition says is aimed at eradicating its leaders.
Mollah was assistant secretary-general of the Jamaat-e-Islami party, which is barred from contesting elections but plays a key role in the opposition movement led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
The sentences have plunged the country into its worst violence since independence.
About 231 people have been killed in street protests since January, when the verdicts were first handed down.
Critics of the tribunal say it has been used as a political tool by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, who is locked in a feud with BNP leader Begum Khaleda Zia, as a way of weakening the opposition as January 5 elections approach.

Hey i am interested in the template but you have some errors in it. Problems are appearing on phone. When you open the menu there are two problems 1. you become able to scroll left-right and there is major problem in visuals (height is becoming really big and some others) second thing is when you click on the profile again on phone (its not getting 100% height) please resolve the issues and send me message when everything is fixed so that we can buy it and start working on it.

Thanks, Stancho Yordanov
Any info on bug resolved on mobile device?
I'm trying to make your template work in an Asp.net web application. The problem is that Asp.net wraps everything within a Form element, and then when the screen size goes over 767px everything disappears (actually it gets reduced to 60px of height), and only reappears when screen size goes below 767px. I imagine it may get solved by adorning the form tag with some classes, but I can't figure out which ones. I'd appreciate your help.
I am not very technical, and was wondering how do i Enqueue Audio tracks, or change playlist from href
At the moment i can find an example or any help in the pack i downloaded

Jeremy Scahill: Assassinations of U.S. Citizens Largely Ignored at Brennan CIA Hearing
President Obama's nominee to run the CIA, John Brennan, forcefully defended Obama's counterterrorism policies, including the increased use of armed drones and the targeted killings of American citizens during his confirmation hearing Thursday. "None of the central questions that should have been asked of John Brennan were asked in an effective way," says Jeremy Scahill, author of the forthcoming book, "Dirty Wars." "In the cases where people like Sen. Angus King or Sen. Ron Wyden would ask a real question, for instance, about whether or not the CIA has the right to kill U.S. citizens on U.S. soil, the questions were very good. Brennan would then offer up a non-answer. And then there'd be almost no follow-up." Scahill went on to say, "[Brennan] has served for more than four years as the assassination czar, and it basically looked like they were discussing purchasing a used car on Capitol Hill. I mean, it was total kabuki oversight. And that's a devastating commentary on where things stand." [includes rush transcript]
CODEPINK Repeatedly Disrupts Brennan Hearing Calling Out Names of Civilians Killed in Drone Strikes
Thursday's confirmation hearing for CIA nominee John Brennan was briefly postponed to clear the room of activists from CODEPINK after they repeatedly disrupted Brennan's testimony. One woman held a list of Pakistani children killed in U.S. drone strikes. Former U.S. diplomat Col. Ann Wright interrupted Brennan while wearing a sign around her neck with the name of Tariq Aziz, a 16-year-old Pakistani boy who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in 2011. Wright and seven others were arrested. We speak to CODEPINK founder Medea Benjamin, who also disrupted the meeting and recently visited Pakistan to speak with victims of drone strikes. "It's not only the killing, it's the terrorizing of entire populations, where they hear the drones buzzing overhead 24 hours a day, where they're afraid to go to school, afraid to go to the markets, to funerals, to weddings, where it disrupts entire communities," Benjamin says. "And we are trying to get this information to our elected officials, to say, 'You are making us unsafe here at home,' to say nothing of how illegal, immoral and inhumane these policies are." [includes rush transcript]
"He Was The Agency": Ex-CIA Analyst Questions Brennan Claim He Couldn't Stop Waterboarding, Torture
CIA nominee John Brennan was repeatedly questioned about torture at his CIA confirmation hearing, including the use of waterboarding and enhanced interrogation techniques. He refused to say waterboarding was a form of torture, but said he has come to oppose the technique. Under George W. Bush, Brennan served as deputy executive director of the CIA and director of the Terrorist Threat Integration Center. "Remember, he was the cheerleader for some of these onerous policies, particularly renditions and extraordinary renditions. So, for John Brennan today to say he read the Senate committee intelligence report on torture and he learned things he never knew before and that he was shocked with what he learned, this is a case of incredible willful ignorance," says Melvin Goodman, former CIA and State Department analyst.

Wow. Manuel's apartment was a breath of fresh air, quite literally! A GREAT location, incredible views and good vibes. It's very homely and inviting, the furniture was comfortable, and there are nice little touches around the place (like books, touch lamps and paintings).
It's not even one minutes walk to the ocean (with surf). A minutes walk to the food and bar strip, grocery store and shops (like Ripcurl and a tackle shop). There's easy access to the city and other shopping centres less than 10 minutes away that you can get to by public transport or car (there's lots of parking at the apartment so that wasn't an issue).
Manuel was very accommodating and thought of everything we would need, plus more. He took the time to show us where everything was and how things worked (like the very important coffee machine hehe).
This apartment was awesome! Very clean and close to the beach, which was perfect. I would recommend staying here.
We had great time in Mannie's apt. 15 min to the beach with big playground for kids, 5 min to the woolworths, bus stop is just 50 meters from house - very convinient location. Apartment was neat and tidy, with all essential for relaxed holidays. Thank you Mannie for helping us to discover great Maroubra :)
Mannie's place was fantastic! Great location, close to the beach and convenient to our weekend plans. Very close to great amenities. Arrived rather late at night but key handover was easy and as described. Thank you for having us!!!
Place was clean and tidy and handy for access to the airport and Coogee restaurants. Had everything required for an easy comfortable stay.
Manny your place was amazing thank you for sharing the it with us. It was exactly what we needed. Clean tidy and everything you need.
Manuel was a pleasure to deal with! His apartment did not disappoint - we used it to get ready in for my wedding, and everything was perfect - highly recommended!
Please note however that the building is not pet friendly.
Would stay again :)
Clean and tidy place in a convenient location for Maroubra beach. Very helpful host. Thanks
The location of the apartment is fantastic just a small walk from a glorious beach & having the city bus stop right outside was an added bonus.
The apartment's size was perfect for my Husband, Mum-in-law & myself & suited our needs well, big thumbs up for the comfortable beds & pillows.
I feel the proof of a really good host is when things don't go according to plan,Manuel was extremely helpful with our situation, very pleasant & very well mannered, he did everything in his power to sort the situation although he was on the otherside of the country, he was patient, understanding & kept us informed.
I would recommend this apartment & also Mannie as a host.
Manuel was extremely easy as a host. Everything ran smoothly even though he wasn't here in person. He was flexible and the apartment itself is lovely and spacious. Clean and comfortable. Being close to the beach is nice as well as facing a small national park. I would recommend staying here
Manuel is a reliable, honest and in general a nice dude to hang out with. He is probably by far the most entertaining and helpful host :) The apartment is clean and spacious and most important thing: close to the beach ;)
Manny is clean and honest and will always considerate!
Manuel is a totally honest, reliable dude.

Detroit agency serving HIV-positive women, children may close
BY Advocate.com Editors
December 13 2002 1:00 AM ET
Children's Immune Disorder, Detroit's oldest agency serving HIV-positive women and children, may close unless new operating funds are quickly found, officials from the agency told the Detroit Free Press. The organization, founded in 1985, has received funding from Detroit's Planning and Development Department since 1999, but was turned down in 2002 for a $107,000 grant after the grant application was turned in late. The agency had offered several support groups, transportation to medical appointments, and a preschool counseling program, but scaled back its efforts after the grant money was lost to operate just a once-a-week support group and a program that distributes food and infant supplies to HIV-positive mothers. The organization's board says it needs financial commitments of at least $50,000 by January 1 to avoid permanently closing.
