Man held in Paris over sawed off elephant tusk
PARIS (AP) - Authorities say a man has been arrested overnight for allegedly breaking into Paris' Museum of Natural History and cutting off a tusk from a centuries-old elephant skeleton with a chainsaw.
A police official said a neighbor of the Left Bank museum alerted authorities after hearing the sawing sound at around 3 a.m. Saturday.
The suspect, about 20 years old, had the tusk in his possession when police arrested him soon afterward outside the museum. Paris prosecutors' office spokeswoman Agnes Thibault-Lecuivre said the motive of the suspect wasn't immediately clear.
Museum official Jacques Cuisin told BFM-TV that the skeleton, which was draped under a plastic covering Saturday, belonged to an elephant that Portugal's king gave to French King Louis XIV in the late 17th century. Cuisin said it can be repaired.

PoliticsJordan praises Israeli-Palestinian talks First meeting between Israelis and Palestinians in 15 months described as "serious" bid to restart peace talks. 03 Jan 2012 20:18 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Israel, Jordan Negotiations have stalled because of Israeli settlement construction in occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem [EPA] Jordan's foreign minister has said the first meetings between Israeli and Palestinian peace negotiators in more than a year ended without any significant breakthroughs.Nasser Judeh, who hosted Tuesday's meeting in Amman, said the talks were held in a positive atmosphere.Although he said there were no breakthroughs on matters of "substance", he said "the important thing is the two sides have met face to face".Peace talks broke down in September 2010. The Palestinians say they will not resume talks while Israel continues to build Jewish settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. Israel insists on talks without preconditions.Israel's chief negotiator Yitzhak Molcho, his Palestinian counterpart Saeb Erakat, Judeh and representatives of the Middle East Peace Quartet started their meeting at the foreign ministry, a Jordanian official said.Before the meetings, Judeh was quoted by the government-owned Jordan Times as saying: "Our objective is to bring them together and try to push for a breakthrough in the peace talks."'Right environment'Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas said on Tuesday the outcome of the meeting would soon be clear. Earlier, Nasser Judeh, Jordan's foreign minister, said that Tuesday's meeting was a "serious" bid to help relaunch the stalled peace talks. Jordan has a 1994 peace treaty with Israel. Tony Blair, the envoy of the international Quartet on the Middle East, was expected to attend the session, along with other officials of the grouping, made up of the European Union, Russia, the UN and the US. "It is a serious effort to find a common ground between the two sides and help restart direct peace talks," Mohammad Kayed, the Jordanian foreign ministry spokesman, said. "All sides should invest in this opportunity and help create the right environment for the success of this effort through refraining from unilateral and provocative actions." Long-awaited meeting The meeting was the first official Israeli-Palestinian meeting since negotiations broke off in 2010, according to Xavier Abu Eid, a spokesman for the negotiations affairs department of the Palestine Liberation Organisation. However, he said it was not a negotiating session. Erakat made the same point in an earlier interview with Voice of Palestine radio. "This meeting will be devoted to discussing the possibility of making a breakthrough that could lead to the resumption of negotiations. Therefore, it will not mark the resumption of negotiations," he said. Dan Meridor, a senior Israeli cabinet minister who also holds the intelligence portfolio and the post of deputy prime minister, told Israeli public radio that the meeting was "a positive development". He said the meeting did not in itself constitute a return to direct talks, but expressed hope it would be a springboard which would "allow the Palestinians to return to negotiations". 'Talks about talks' Al Jazeera's senior political analyst Marwan Bishara said the meeting was merely about having "talks about talks". "The Israelis need it. It seems Abbas needs it for the time being," he said. "Certainly the Europeans and the Americans need to give the impression that there is a peace process going on. It is a win-win situation for everybody, but a win-win situation that it seems, utterly, will fail." Direct talks ground to a halt in September 2010, when an Israeli freeze on new West Bank construction expired and Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, declined to renew it. Israel insists on direct talks without preconditions. "What the Palestinians are saying is 'we are not negotiating'. The endgame is [Israel] must stop the settlements and recognise the two state solution on the borders of 1967. Otherwise, the idea of negotiating over the pie, while Israel is eating the pie slowly but surely, is not going to lead to any good ending between them," Bishara said. "The government of Mr Netanyahu says if Abbas and Hamas meet and reconcile then there will be no peace process. "On the other hand the peace process has been, for the past 20 or so years, more a process, an ongoing open ended process that is not leading to peace," he said.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

CAS says:Jennifer – It's one of those "mystery" beads that don't come up under any category, like the Peach Pit beads that appear in the Green Bead Machine from time to time. What I've done when I find beads I like that are "out of stock" or don't appear anywhere else, I put them in my "Wish List". Now the "out of stock" ones just sit in there unusable in picks, but the others, like the Iris Green Pearls, I can go into my "Wish List", click on them and use them in picks.

Re: What Villian Should be in the Sequel?
Comparing BRB to War Machine is valid, IMO. War Machine should have waited probably until at least the 3rd movie or beyond before showing up(of course I obviously DID want him to show up eventually). This seems to be a problem that many a studio has with these franchises. They rush really popular characters & storylines in without there having been enough time to really make them fit right. And this at least started back when Singer's X-Men films began. I mean, by the end of the 2nd film and you're ALREADY teasing the Dark Phoenix storyline for the next movie? And I could go on and on. Symbiote saga in SM3? War Machine in IM2? Rumors that Capt.Stacey will likely only be in one movie in the new Spidey franchise and then killed off? FF2 already at the Galactus storyline?
I mean it's like these studio execs are prepubecent teenagers on prom night who can't hold their wad long enough to actually get some lovin' and end up going in their boxers. Have some self control for God's sake. You want these properties to last a long time, right?
Heroes and their consequences are why we have our current opportunities. . . . Every time one of these guys punches someone through a building our margins go up three percent.

A new federal earthquake map dials up the shaking hazard just a bit for about one-third of the United States and lowers it for one-tenth of the nation.
The U.S. Geological Survey updated Thursday its national seismic hazard maps for the first time since 2008, taking into account research from the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami off the Japanese coast and the surprise 2011 Virginia temblor.
Most of the changes are slight. Project chief Mark Petersen said parts of Washington, Oregon, Utah, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming and Tennessee moved into the top two hazard zones.
Parts of 16 states have the highest risk for earthquakes: Alaska, Hawaii, California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Illinois, Kentucky and South Carolina.

Ubuntu'ed up
After ages dilly-dallying over replacing my existing XP operating system, I finally replaced it with Ubuntu last weekend. Though I am fairly comfortable working on Unix environments, this is my first experience with a Linux desktop. The Ubuntu community seems very active, so finding workarounds for issues has been trivial. My main reactions to a primarily smooth first week, in no particular order:
* The OS install took 15 minutes. 15 minutes!!! That was shock enough for someone used to Windows installs taking ten times that amount.
* Shutting down and rebooting the system are very quick processes in comparison, taking almost as long as it took to hibernate on Windows!

PoliticsSyria 'has given up a third of chemical arms' Chemical weapons watchdog OPCW says regime has provided new plan to clear its entire stockpile by end of April. 04 Mar 2014 14:34 GMT | Politics, Environment, Middle East, US & Canada, Germany Syria has shipped out about a third of its chemical weapons stockpile, including mustard gas, for destruction abroad, the global chemical arms watchdog has said. The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons in The Hague on Tuesday said Damascus had now handed over six consignments of the toxic agents it declared as part of a Russian-US deal struck last year. The OPCW said it had confirmed two more shipments headed for the northern Syrian port of Latakia. They are to be transferred to the US ship, the MV Cape Ray, and commercial destruction facilities in the UK and Germany. Syria had also submitted a revised plan to remove all chemicals from its territory by the end of April 2014, the OPCW said. That proposal was being negotiated at an executive council meeting at the OPCW on Tuesday. Live Box 2011421105226899357 An OPCW spokesman, Sigrid Kaag, told the AP news agency that the agreed 60-day timetable would accelerate and intensify efforts. Kaag said. "But of course our message is always one of continued expectation to achieve more, to do more and to do it safely and securely." But Western diplomats said the revised timetable was too slow for several Western countries, which say the chemical agents must be shipped out by the end of March if a final June 30 deadline agreed for complete destruction of Syria's chemical weapons programme is to be met. The US said it needed 90 days to destroy roughly 500 metric tonnes of the most poisonous substances in the arsenal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Syria declared a total of 1,300 metric tonnes of chemical weapons to the OPCW, which is jointly overseeing the destruction process with the UN.Source: Reuters

BBVA heading to uptown Charlotte
- Adam O'Daniel
- Finance Editor- Charlotte Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
A subsidiary of global financial-services firm BBVA is set to open shop in uptown after leasing space on the fourth floor at 330 S. Tryon St.
Grubb Properties recently purchased that building, which houses the Charlotte Chamber.
BBVA Compass will use its space for a loan-production office, the company said Monday. It's one of several planned to expand the bank's commercial loan offerings beyond the Sunbelt region.
The company is also eyeing offices in Raleigh and Nashville, Tenn., among other locations.
"We're looking forward to moving into our permanent home in the Queen City," Scott Cox, East region manager for commercial banking for BBVA Compass, said in Monday's news release. "Charlotte is a major financial hub and we're proud to be a part of the city's vibrant banking sector."
The news follows my August report that Birmingham, Ala.-based BBVA Compass was plotting an expansion into North Carolina, with plans to hire commercial bankers and open offices in Charlotte and Raleigh.
Adam O'Daniel covers banking, entrepreneurs and technology for the Charlotte Business Journal.

If you are one of those people who regularly check on news regarding unlocking smartphones, then I have a good news for you. T-Mobile has just launched an app that allows you to unlock your smartphone – sounds great! But there is a slight catch. Check out below on how to unlock your smartphone on T-Mobile.
The government recently passed the Bill which makes cellphone unlocking legal. Which was praised by many people all over the U.S., after all cellphone unlocking should not be a crime.
Well one of the major carriers has taken a positive step towards unlocking: T-Mobile. The carrier has released an app that allows you to unlock your smartphone!
But there is a slight catch.
Device Unlock
It's great that now there is an app that allows you to unlock your smartphone but the app can currently only unlock Samsung Galaxy Avant – a mid range Samsung device.
Once you download the app (Device Unlock) you can get the ability to "Permanent Unlock" it or "Temporary Unlock". You get the idea what each option does.
If you have a Samsung Galaxy Avant (I don't know anybody who does) and run on T-Mobile then you can download the app and unlock your smartphone.
Right now the Samsung Avant is currently supported and there is no news if other devices will be added to the list. But T-Mobile will.
You can download the Device Unlock T-Mobile app from the Google Play Store.
If T-Mobile releases an app to unlock an iPhone, Maypalo will be the first one to inform you. So stay tuned!

Recently I have been trying various moisturizers and they all seem to break me out! Does anyone have a suggestion? My skin is more dehydrated than dry, but everything I've tried seems to clog my pores even though they claim not to- having wrinkles AND pimples is not making me happy! ideas?
...not rlly, but I take fish oil and it sorta mosturizes my face from underneath, only thing is... if you take it a lot you'll be really shiney
I use neutrogina anti-wrinkle with spf 15 in it. It comes in a tube. Products with retin-a are good. They help prevent wrinkles and fixes acne.
Aveeno. Its non-comedogenic and works great. My skin can get pretty dry, it always has, and Ive never come across a lotion that has worked so well. I use it all over including my face. Never got a single pimple from it. If you really want healthy skin get a bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil for your shower.. either put it all over your skin immediately after your shower, or put in on during your shower, let it soak in for a minute and lightly rinse it off. Not all of it, just most of the excess. Olive Oil is sooo unbelievable good for your skin. The only thing is, be careful if you will be getting sun that day because it will definitely accelerate the tanning process.
I've had good luck with Aveeno moisturizer, and I also use Oil of Olay sensitive skin, fragrance-free formula with success, too. Both are non-comedogenic, which is what I need. I use that Proactiv system benzoyl peroxide lotion and cleanser to battle breakouts, and they always include a little tube of oil-free moisturizer in the packages, but it doesn't seem to be a particularly hydrating moisturizer. I only use moisturizer during the dryest winter months. My skin is like an oil slick in its natural state. The dermatologist tells me I will likely be wrinkle-free for many years to come, but I'm going to still be battling breakouts when I'm in my 80s. I read that olive oil is a good one to try because it has fairly low comedogenic properties. And a friend of mine with very dry skin uses almond oil, which is supposed to be the same way.
Yay! Finally Im not wrong on something! Yeah my skin is a nightmare really as far as dryness is concerned. Doctors had always diagnosed me with excema, but if you ask me thats a lazymans diagnosis. They would prescribe me with a steroid cream like Hydrocortisone and some Eucerine and tell me to have a nice day. That went on for about 20 years. I have only just recently figured out what my problem was.. my skin grows at a very accelerated rate which is why cuts and scars dissappear in an insane amount of time(and also why my tans dont last for shit unless I stay out in the sun every day). But the problem is it grows so quickly it isnt always able to exfoliate properly, leaving me with dry, itchy skin. And what would I do?? Scratch the living fuck out of it. Throw in some bull-horn thick fingernails and a lowered sensitivity to pain, and you have severe excema. When I started smoking weed alot I was finally able to stop scratching myself subconsciously.. it was a very hard thing to do because its just something I had always done without thinking of it my entire life. The next problem was when I realized I was still scratching the fuck out of myself in my sleep. Like I would wake up with chunks of my skin lodged underneath my fingernails and blood everywhere lmao. Kinda gross huh? The olive oil changed my life, I shit you not. I now swear by it, but I dont even need to use it in every shower anymore, in fact, I only use it about once a week or so now. Ive never had normal skin in my life until now. Thank god I have Sicilian family that clued me into that one.
Aveeno! Another vote. Yeah my old doc told me eucerin, but DAMN it's greezy. Fish oil pills are great for your skin. And the oil after a shower trick, yup, I use that too in winter- the Banana Boat tanning oil is my favorite (smells like the beach) but olive oil is WAY more natural and cheap too. I've been using a new facial product called Vita-C serum, it's not a moisturizer per se but is meant to prevent aging. It hasn't made me break out yet.

Proper conversion of liquid sucralose instead of sugar?
- 2 Comments
- Follow
Hello, I have a low fat recipe for a strawberry pie in almond crust. The recipe calls for 2 Tablespoons of liquid Splenda (sucralose) in the crust and 3 Tablespoons of liquid sucralose in the filling. I know that the liqiud sucralose is very concentrated, so this seems like an awful lot of sucralose. Could this be right or do they mean the equivalent of 5 Tablespoons of liquid sucralose, which would be considerably less. I'm new to cooking and need some help. Thanks.
Oh, wow. Yeah, that seems super high. I use EZSweetz and this is their conversion -
2 Drops = 2 Tsp Sugar = 1 Splenda® Packet. 12 Drops = 1/4 Cup Sugar (or 6 Splenda® Packets
Not an exact apples to apples comparison but gives you an idea, maybe.
0 -
Thanks so much for your reply. I will experiment with the smaller amounts first.

"Besides the cherries, there are lots of surprises in this pie. Eighteen layers of buttered phyllo dough make the crust. The chicken is mingled with candied ginger, capers, creme fraiche, and chili sauce and curry powder. And when the pie is finished and ready to pop in the oven, it 's sprinkled with grated Parmesan."

The Peach Penthouse covers the entire top floor of Coral House Triplex --- the 3rd house off the beach. Less than 1 block to the wide white-sand beach. Enjoy ocean breezes and sunrises on the large comfortable balcony (8 feet x 25 feet) where you may glimpse passing ships and shrimp boats.
Within 4 blocks of Coral House are 5 restaurants, 3 clothing/gift shops, a package store, 2 convenience stores, an ATM, and a Post Office.
The Peach Penthouse is located mid-island between south beach (home of the pier and shopping) and north beach ( home of the majestic Tybee Lighthouse and the former Ft. Screven, now a museum).
Thank you so much for your wonderful third floor flat in the"Coral House". It was the perfect spot for the two of us and our dog, Skye. The furniture was comfortable, the light was amazing - beating in everyday through the large and numerous windows, the kitchen was perfect for our needs and the location was quiet and close to everything we could want. Where your place differed is in the details: the colours, the bed clothes, the curtains, blinds, extra toiletries and cleaning supplies, and e
We stayed during the month of April. The property was so well kept and peaceful! We were just as excited about the property as we were about all the site seeing! Some days we didn't even want to leave! We stayed a week and never got tired of being there! It felt like home! And the beach is literally just a short walk down the street! The owner also made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. I'm already planning our next trip back!
We absolutely love the Coral House. This gem had all of the necessities . We love to kayak and sometimes in the past parking has been an issue until we found this wonderful rental. We had no issues parking at all. My dashund loved the fence backyard and it was so easy to have my fur baby at this rental. The house is convenient to several tasty restaurants and stores. We will stay here every time we come to this island.
It's simple - this is a great place to stay and Ted is easy to do business with. We have been to the Peach Penthouse for 5 years on a row for vacation and wouldn't think of staying anywhere other than one of his properties. We are obsessed!! It's clean, it's stocked, it's comfortable, it's convenient and Ted and his team are friendly - what more could we want? The negative reviews on here clearly people trying to get a discount and cause a stir. Any "issues" we have ever had were minor and were taken care of promptly. The only reason we would stop coming is when/if our family grows out of it. Love this place!
The Peach Penthouse glows in the sunshine. Clean, bright, comfortable and most convenient. The porch is the best even in the rain and you actually can see the cargo ships in and out of the channel. Have been to Tybee several times and it was nice not to have to drive everywhere and pay to park at the beach.
An easy walk to the beach, several restaurants, a convenience store and of course The Sugar Shack for ice cream, not to be confused with Sundae Cafe which is a restaurant with a very interesting menu. Since we ate out except for snacks the fact that the kitchen is not overly large was not a problem.
It was a good week, Ted was easy to work with and Debbie was very helpful. A beautiful rainbow the last night was a special treat. Will try and go back again.
We arrived on 10/4 at approximately 5:30pm and were forced to leave at 10:30 pm after sending the owner photos of several problems including-
A broken living room window
Mildew around the bedroom windows
Veneer peeling off of the kitchen cabinets
Rusty, sharp patio furniture
We were most disappointed to find no working sofa bed. The listing did include a sofa bed under general amenities but instead there was a laminated note that said "This sofa bed will not open. Please use the air mattress in the closet."
We called the owner to inform him of the problems and to find out if he had any other properties that we could move to. (Particularly one with an actual bed for our son.) The only other property he could over was available for only half of the dates in our original reservation.
An email exchange followed. He said that the sofa bed had been removed from the listing but I sent him a screenshot showing that it had not.
We decided that we would make the best of it after calling several area hotels and finding no comparable vacancies.
THEN, we received a text from the owner with the phone number for a hotel that we had not yet tried. He said that he had arranged a discounted rate for us. While I was on the phone with this hotel, the owner called and left a voicemail stating that we HAD to leave tonight.
So, 9 hours from home with our son at 10:30pm and we were evicted from our fully paid rental.
To his credit, our payment was refunded promptly. The sofa bed has since been removed from the listing but I have photos, screenshots, and audio recording of the phone message that I am happy to forward to Home Away/VRBO Customer Service. At this point , we are hesitant to use this service again.
We stayed during the month of August. Me, my husband and our little Chihuahua, Sandy had a very nice and relaxing vacation here. The property was well-maintained and convenient to restaurants, etc. The penthouse was very well decorated and made you feel like you were at the beach.
Mr. Walker made you feel right at home and had all the accommodations you would find at a hotel. There is a washer and dryer, a iron and ironing board which makes it very convenient. Mr. Walker also supplies toiletries and etc. in case you forgot it at home.
The beds are very comfortable to sleep in and everything was nice and clean. The kitchen is equipped with coffee maker, dishes, cooking utensils, silverware and the basic things you need. The refrigerator and stove was very clean. If you need anything Mr. Walker is just a phone call away and lives just a few minutes from there which makes a difference when you are far from home.
We had a very nice vacation and plan on going back next year. It is within five minutes of the beach and a very quiet place to relax. Enjoyed sitting out on the balcony especially at night time. Would recommend it to anyone.

Two lighthouses reside on Tybee Island; less than 3 miles apart, but so radically different in character. As you approach Tybee Island, you see the impressive Tybee Light in the distance. Tall, dark, and handsome with a white cumberbund. He was honored a couple of years ago when he got his own US postage stamp. ( In lighthouse circles that is akin to an Oscar.) But then as you cross the Lazaretto bridge onto Tybee Island, you look down to the left and blink. Is that a lighthouse in the water? Indeed it is. That's plucky little Cockspur Lighthouse. Weathered, plain white masonry. Not flashy at all, except ... At every high tide Cockspur stands in the ocean well off-shore. Only at low tide does the stony spur appear that supports the little lighthouse. A firm foundation after all.
So far the quaint shopping district near the pier has pretty much escaped the wrecking ball; it's still lost in the 40's/50's. Witness Arby's --- Tybee Island's only fast food restaurant. This is pretty much what Arby's looked like when they began in the early 60's. As for shopping, no Sak's here. We're talking beach shopping: T-shirts, souvenirs, Sno-Cones, umbrella drinks, seafood. But remember, for culture and serious shopping, there is colorful, historic Savannah, just 20 minutes away. Recommended reading: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, an amusing look at Savannah's high- and low-life (about 2 years on the NY Times nonfiction best seller list).

PoliticsLittle promise in Iraq's parliament Frustration with Iraq's inactive parliament has come to a head in a country that needs a proactive government. Rawya Rageh | 09 Nov 2010 22:21 GMT | Politics, Iraq, Saudi Arabia One of Iraq's members of parliament spends her time doing charity work. Another has been busy writing his master's thesis. Dozens of others have spent the past eight months vacationing overseas. "I've been using this time to write my master's thesis on comparative literature … I hope I don't complete both my master's and my PhD while parliament is still not in session," said legislator Hakim Al Zamily of the Al Ahrar bloc loyal to populist Shia cleric Muqtada Al Sadr. Since Iraq's inconclusive March 7 elections, the 325-member parliament has met only once - and for less than 20 minutes. It has remained in an ambiguous "open session" indefinitely, an attempt to give politicians the opportunity to agree on a unity government. Not one of the blocs that won seats in the elections secured an outright majority to form a government on its own - a stalemate that has been exacerbated by an acute rivalry between former prime minister Iyad Allawi, whose Iraqiya list won 91 seats, and incumbent premier Nouri al-Maliki whose State of Law Coalition came second with 89 seats. Caught in the middle have been the country's elected representatives, who've been doing all but actually govern. Al Zamily, who previously served as a deputy for the minister of health said he ran for elections with a genuine interest in bringing about change, namely "fighting rampant corruption ... a plague that's seen Iraq now ranked the third corrupt country in the world." "But I've been incapable of doing anything. Needy constituents come to me all the time asking for services, jobs, and other things. But I am unable to help them, I feel incapacitated," he said as he sipped tea in an empty office set up to meet constituents. Wahida Al Jumeily of Allawi's Iraqiya list was previously elected to Baghdad's Provincial Council. Looking for broader powers to provide services, namely in health and education, she ran in the parliamentary elections. "Our main duty as MP's is to legislate and monitor the performance of the government," she said. "But until now, I haven't been able to do my job … I'm frustrated and I fear, we, as parliament, are going to fail." Al Jumeily said she has stopped attending informal talks at the parliament building "because we go there, people talk, and they never agree on anything. It's a waste of time". Instead, she's been dishing out from her own salary (and earnings as a successful businesswoman) to do charity work, including distributing stationary to needy students and encouraging women to attend literacy classes - a welcome effort in a nation where legislators have been accused of wasting public funds by amassing exuberant salaries despite their inaction. Privileged class Simply put, in Iraq, MP's are financially privileged, with perks and bonuses that put them ahead of even members of the US Congress. Iraqi politicians make about $11,000 a month. In addition, they get a monthly allowance of more than $12,000 for housing and security, pay only six per cent of their base salary in taxes, and have already collected a non-refundable stipend of $90,000 after they were sworn in, in June. By contrast, an average Iraqi civil servant gets paid around $600 a month, and estimates indicate that at least one in four Iraqis live below the poverty line. The divide has prompted lawsuits and protests. More than a dozen non-governmental organisations came together and formed The Civil Initiative to Preserve the Constitution. They have held protests in Baghdad's popular intersections, demanding parliament resume its sessions. In a recent gathering in Tahrir Square, they staged a play mocking Iraq's politicians. It featured a poor, old man unable to sit on a chair as three other people scramble for it - ultimately one manages to sit and stomps his feet on the others. Call to action The activists have already recorded a success in their battle. Last month, Iraq's highest court ordered Parliament to meet, saying the delay in its sessions is unconstitutional. The decision came after these civil society groups had filed a lawsuit against acting Parliament speaker, Fouad Massoum. "We are not after political gains," said Waleed Al Mashhadani of Al Farqadein NGO for relief and development. "This is at the heart of our role as civil society members. The delay in government formation has meant a hiring freeze. There are no jobs, no services, nothing." Activists have also filed a second lawsuit, demanding politicians return $40m in pay and allowances since March. Following the high court's verdict and stepped-up pressure in the wake of bloody attacks that gripped the country in recent weeks, Massoum announced parliament will meet on November 11 to elect a speaker. Enduring stalemate But the necessary prerequisites to guarantee the success of that session are far from achieved. In recent days, the leaders of Iraq's main political blocs have been holding a series of face-to-face meetings - for the first time since the March elections – to discuss power sharing, but with little success so far. The blocs are clinging on to their demands: The Kurds want the presidency, the Shia alliance is backing Maliki for a second term, and Iraqiya wants constitutional amendments to curtail the influence of the prime minister, whom they accuse of monopolising and consolidating power. It's not only a grim sign that the deadlock is going to last, but it could also mean that parliament may not be able to meet, and that parliamentarians will continue to exhaust the nation's already fragile budget for nothing in return. During the previous parliament session, a group of MP's tried more than once to pass a law to cut legislators' salaries.But they faced overwhelming resistance, and in some cases, even threats against their lives. Some have insisted the proposed bill must be a priority for this session if and when parliament meets. "They're now saying some 50 MPs will be performing (the annual Muslim pilgrimage of) Hajj in Saudi Arabia on the government's expense," said activist Mohammed Saad of The Civil Initiative to Protect the Constitution at their latest protest in Baghdad's Tahrir Square. "Such lack of conscience! This is unacceptable. They're doing that instead of compensating the widows and orphans who have been victimised by terrorist attacks! "This waste of public money must come to an end."Source: Al Jazeera

Title: Using a stock tank as a planter for Maximilian sunflowers in Pflugerville TX
Answered by: Barbara Medford
I am going to re-phrase a question I asked last week, because even though I tried to be very careful, I posed it in a way subject to misinterpretation and thus did not get an answer. So here goes: I propose to buy a stock tank about two feet deep and maybe four feet across, put one layer of bricks beneath it, put drain holes in the bottom, fill it with dirt, and plant Maximilian sunflowers. What are the chances that the sunflowers could thrive for a few years before I have to thin them? I currently have a colony in the ground and they are out of control.ANSWER:
Sorry about the confusion! We grew up in West Texas where a stock tank was a hole in the ground where you hoped the windmill would pump some water for the stock. A stock tank for a container is a new concept for us. Anyway, based on the research we did answering your question today on Helianthus maximiliani (Maximilian sunflower), we would say you could get 3 or 4 years out of the tank, and that 2 feet would be deep enough. The roots are rhizomes, not far under the surface, so if you had to, you could thin them by just pulling out a plant.
