BAYBORO — Pamlico County Sheriff Billy Sawyer knows first-hand the misery that comes with prescription drug abuse.
Sawyer, who fights illegal drugs every day on the job, had a relative who was prescribed narcotic pain medication for a legitimate need. But, the medicine that was supposed to cure ultimately led to addiction and death.
Sawyer shared his story Friday morning during the dedication of a permanent prescription drop box in the lobby of the sheriff's department.
Funds from the Eastern Carolina Behavioral Health and Coastal Coalition for Substance Abuse Prevention funded the purchase and installation of the box, which is under 24-hour camera surveillance.
The box is available for the public to safely dispose of unused prescription meds.
Members of law enforcement, public schools, substance abuse specialists, members of the court system and county commissioners were on hand.
Chief District Court Judge Walter Mills and retired judge James Ragan talked about how prescription drugs were prevalent in the background of court cases.
Sawyer said more than 80 percent of crime, especially break-ins, had a root cause of stealing to buy prescription drugs.
"We have crack and cocaine and marijuana," Sawyer said. "But, pills are the biggest problem I've got."
He said the situation of abuse often begins as it did with his relative, a prescription for pain that spirals out of control.
He said drug abusers often go for prescription drugs by "doctor shopping," the practice of going to many doctors and getting medications.
District Attorney Scott Thomas was blunt.
"Prescription drugs do kill," he said, adding that about 80 percent of the cases his office handles have a direct or indirect link to prescription drugs.
Thomas called it a multi-faceted problem that requires multi-faceted response - education, prevention, treatment and enforcement.
"This is a way the community can be involved," Thomas said of the drop box.
By removing unused pain medication from homes, he said residents are keeping them from reaching the streets.
Thomas added, "You can't arrest your way out of this drug problem."
Chief District Court Judge Walter Mills called prescription drug abuse "a complex problem that requires complex solutions."
Mills said he sees the aftermath in court, putting "good people in bad situations."
Sgt. Kevin Rock of the State Highway Patrol said impaired drivers over-medicating can "have terrible consequences. It affects the safety of the entire motoring public."
Ragan, a board member of the Coastal Coalition for Substance Abuse Prevention, thanked the county health department and Clerk of Court Steven Hollowell for assisting in making the project possible.
"This is also a health problem," Ragan said. "It should be emphasized as a health problem as well as an enforcement problem."

SUFFOLK -- A broken sewer main has spilled 9.3 million gallons of untreated sewage into Shingle Creek in Suffolk, according to the Suffolk Health Department.
Contractors are working to fix the line, but have so far been unable to stop the spillage.
'We started making beef stew so we didn't have to smell it in the house,' said David Keesee who lives on Wilroy Road, just above where contractors are working.
'Smells like feces. That's the only way I can describe it, and it's all the way around here, all the way down to the store, to the Fresh Pride. That's about 2 or 3 blocks up the road, all the way down to the gas station. It's pretty bad.'
The Suffolk Health Department says that because of recent heavy rains, the overflow in Shingle Creek may cause an even greater health risk, since heavy rainfall increases the amount of bacteria in natural waters.
Officials advised recreational water users to be cautious in Shingle Creek and the Nansemond River near the entrance to Shingle Creek. People should avoid swimming in or swallowing river water in this area.
Anyone with an open wound should avoid all contact with the river water as pathogens can infect open wounds and cause more serious illnesses.
Officials also advised people to shower after coming into contact with river water in Shingle Creek.
Additional spill information can be found through the Department of Environmental Quality at (757) 518 2000.

Tears ran down Deborah Walker Barber-Tully's cheeks, as she thanked a room full of people at the Onslow County Superior Courthouse Monday night.
Her daughter, Michele Franko, comforted her as members of the Military Order of the Purple gathered there to posthumously honor her late husband, Jerry Van Barber.
Barber, an Onslow County Sheriff's Deputy, died in the line of duty on
"Jerry had come in behind him to see what was going on, and he was standing there and a guy drove by and hit him with his truck," Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown said.
Brown said the impact killed Barber instantly.
The Military Order of the Purple Heart Beirut Memorial Chapter No. 642 recognized Barber's sacrifice as part of its First Responder Program, which honors law enforcement officers and firefighters who are killed or wounded in the line of duty.
"We cannot ever thank him enough," said Donald Clinger, the chapter's chaplain and welfare officer.
The Onslow County Board of Commissioners attended the ceremony, along with law enforcement individuals from
"Jerry was always stopping to help people out," said Onslow County Commissioner Jack Bright, who was also honored at the ceremony for an injury he received in the line of on duty in November 1978.
Barber-Tully said she was touched at the number of people who wanted to honor her late husband. She said Walter Scott, special assistant to the sheriff and organizer of the event, had contacted her several weeks ago. He had been doing some checking and found that Barber had never been presented the Purple Heart plaque.
Barber-Tully said the most precious part of the ceremony was that she could share it with her daughter, who has few memories of her father.
"My daughter doesn't remember him, and she was his eyeball," Barber-Tully said. "When he died, I saved everything for her."
Franko, who was 2 years old when her father died, found the show of support at the Monday ceremony comforting.
"It's almost surreal," Barber-Franko said as she gazed at a plaque, a picture of her father, presented to her by Sheriff Brown. "To still have people want to honor him after all this time … I'm very honored."
She has in her possession a collection of letters honoring her father for his service, as well as his badge and gun.
"So she has these things, but she wasn't there. She doesn't know," Barber-Tully said. "But this (ceremony) she could be at … to me, this is the icing on the cake."
Barber-Tully said she was also grateful her daughter could share the moment with her own 7-year-old daughter, Natalie.
The ceremony included a presentation of an
Franko said her mother always told her that her father died "doing what he absolutely loved."
"It made him happiest when he was back on the Sheriff's Department," Franko said.
Barber worked four years with the Onslow County Sheriff's Department and also served in the United States Air Force.

Raggedy Ann, Just Like You Remember
What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Raggedy Ann …
"I had a Raggedy Ann as a child and absolutely loved her. She was so soft and cuddly and was like an extra mom because she was always there for me. I still have mine and have had her "operated on" so I could keep her. I have gotten a couple of additional ones as I grew up because I love her still. I wish I had a child to give one to. Perhaps I will give one to a child at a children's home." - Jean Hughes, Avondale Estates, GA
"My daughter was given Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls when she was 3. She still has them, 50 years later, so we are giving sets to all the new babies in family, great-great nieces and nephews of mine, and third cousins of hers." - Joan, Saybrook, CT
"My daughter, a teacher, uses Raggedy Ann and Andy as part of her curriculum every year in her Junior Primary (Kindergarten) class. She has several dolls in the classroom at this time, including the pair that she received at her very first Christmas. Their stories are so special and inspiring to this-age children that they continue to talk to her about them even after they have moved to a different grade. I purchased an Andy today just because one of her students (a boy) expressed a desire to have Raggedy Andy. He was in one of her former classes and the stories were important to him. I knew The Vermont Country Store had them and decided this young man should certainly have one, too. Thank you for your wonderful store and your respect for all facets of history." - Esther, Poulsbo, WA

Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) measurement for Mcph1tm1a(EUCOMM)WtsiMouse GP
Results Summary
- ABR thresholds elevated across all frequencies tested
- Click-ABR waveforms normal
Methods Summary
- Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABRs) are recorded via subcutaneous needle electrodes placed at the vertex and behind the left ear, as an average of 256 responses to presentation of freefield stimuli [clicks (10us) or tone pips (5ms tone pips, 1ms rise/fall time)], presented at 42.2/sec.
- ABR Thresholds are determined and plotted as a function of stimulus. Mean threshold is plotted (+/- population standard deviation). The green shaded area indicates the median threshold (and 2.5% to 97.5% reference range) of a large population of wildtype mice of this genetic background.
- Click-Evoked ABRs waveforms were analysed. Superimposed waveforms recorded at 20dB and 50dB sensation level were plotted. Amplitudes and Latencies for waves P1, N1, P3 and N3 were recorded and were plotted as a function of dB sensation level. Means are plotted (over a 95% reference range for each parameter).

November 2010
How the weather has changed since my report last week!
Temperatures have dropped and there is snow all over the country. Many schools have closed and many others are reporting 'rain gauges - full of snow'!
Maesycwmmer Primary School cleverly melted the snow in their rain gauge then recorded it! See the comments below.
Last night, temperatures plummeted to the coldest on record for November. In mid Wales, a record minimum of -18C (0F) was reached at Llysdinam, in Powys. Dr. Fred Slater reported: 'I've been diligently recording the weather at Llysdinam Field Centre for the last 30 years – last night was the coldest on record".
If you are able to get into school please send in your records and any snowy pictures you may have.
This cheeky little Robin reminded me of how hungry the birds are at this time of year. He came right up close to me this morning at St Fagans. Luckily, I had my lunch box so I gave him a few crumbs in exchange for a few close up pics.
If you would like to help the birds this winter remember to put some bird food out in your school or garden. I made some fat balls at the weekend. It was easy to do and good fun.

Ysgol Nant Y Coed asked: 'If these results are similar to this time last year?' A very good question. I've answered this question locally for Nant y Coed, for Wales and looked at the long term patterns.
Locally at Nant Y Coed school: On Average the first two weeks in November 2010 had less rain and were warmer than in 2009.
Rainfall: 2009 - 20.9mm. 2010 - 14.6mm.
Temperature: 2009 - 7.7degC. 2010 - 14degC.
Was the pattern the same in your school?
Study 2010 results: http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/2968/
Study 2009 results: http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/2952/
For Wales: This October was slightly colder than last year and had about the same amount of rain as in 2009.
Mean temperature in 2009 11deg C and 2010 9.8degC.
Mean rainfall 128.3mm in 2009 and 123.8mm in 2010.
Looking at the long-term patterns: The monthly average for October between 1971-2000 was 6.5degC. The last two Octobers have been much warmer in comparison.

Have any schools had snow yet? If so let me know.
Many thanks. Professor Plant.

WHITE CROSS - A new fire station planned for Neville Road west of Carrboro has upset some neighbors, who say they found out about it too late.
Orange County allows fire stations in virtually all zoning districts because they provide an essential public service. New stations may be permitted "by right," meaning approved by county staff and not elected officials.
But now some rural White Cross residents say that process is unfair. Three residents told the commissioners last week they only found out about the new station after the White Cross Fire Department had bought the land and that the process gave them no opportunity to object.
"I feel this is the wrong site," Chris Russell told the commissioners. "We should not be worried that we're going to have a fire station plunked down between two houses with no notice. I don't think this is how Orange County operates."
Tony Blake, president of the White Cross Fire Department board of directors acknowledges some neighbors are upset. But he said the department followed the county's rules and decided to "put the station where the need is."
Having a second station at the eastern edge of the White Cross fire district will put 96 percent of the homes within five miles of a station, giving them a state insurance rating of 7, which the department hopes to further lower to a 6. A lower rating reduces insurance premiums.
The new station at 2521Neville Road will also shorten response times, and a tanker there will increase the water available to fight fires. Residents don't need to worry about the department draining wells, Blake said, because the department has its own surface-water supplies.
"All I can say is we followed the process," said Blake, a former volunteer firefighter with White Cross who is frustrated by the complaints.
"We're here to help," he said of the department. "We're here to show up in the big red trucks and help people on the worst day of their lives."
'All my life.'
Thomas Stone walked out from the rose garden between the two cherry trees in his front yard Saturday morning.
"This was my parents' home," he said, slapping a mosquito. "I inherited it from them. I'm 57, so I've lived here all my life."
Stone lives next door to the future substation. He told the county commissioners last week that Neville Road is already busy with trucks traveling to and from the solid waste convenience center on nearby Ferguson Road.
His sister-in law, who lives on the on the other side of the fire station site, does not oppose the new station, he said. But he asked the commissioners to put themselves in his shoes.
"No one, if they had a choice, would lives near a fire station," he said. "I'm hoping you will reconsider."
Out of room
The White Cross Fire Department has been looking for a second station site for at least two years.
The department has room for three trucks in its main brick station on Old Greensboro Road and houses two more in an unheated aluminum building behind it. The main building is too short to fit some modern equipment; the aluminum building can't house tankers in the winter when the water might freeze.
The department is going to add onto the main building, but that won't help the homes in the eastern part of the district. And while mutual aid agreements with four other area departments send additional trucks to fires, they won't lower those homes' state insurance ratings.
According to the department, the new station will improve 323 homes' insurance rating from a 9 to a 7 and another 197 homes more than six miles from a station and currently rated 10 – requiring very high premiums – to a 7, as well.
For some the savings could be minimal. Stone says he'll save about $50 on his $580 annual premium. Others could save several hundred dollars, Blake said.
In a letter to residents, Blake and Chief Phillip Nasseri, the department's sole paid employee, addressed some other concerns:
• Location: Placing the station on N.C. 54, as some residents suggested, would not reduce the distance to the eastern part of the district, they said.
• Noise and traffic: Over three years studied, only 58 calls out of 644, or 9 percent, would have required a response from the Neville Road station.
• Creek concerns: The department will wash and maintain its vehicles at the main stationhouse, so there will be no additional runoff into Phil's Creek, which feeds University Lake. A bridge on Neville Road at the creek does have deficiencies, but the state plans to begin replacing it this year.
Barry Jacobs, chairman of the Orange County Board of Commissioners, said the county did not anticipate concerns.
"I sympathize with their point of view, but it had already happened," he said after last week's meeting. The county approved the site in March, Jacobs said, and "It has never happened that people were anything but happy to have (a fire station) in their neighborhood." Several rural departments have substations near homes, including New Hope, Orange Grove and Orange Rural.
Still, Jacobs said neighbors should have had more notice and the commissioners may look at writing that requirement in their county's land-use rules, even when a project is allowed "by right," with only staff approval.
In a letter sent to Blake last week, Jacobs said the commissioners have asked the fire department to go ahead and hold such an information meeting now, so it can answer any questions residents may still have.

How did you spend your Memorial Day weekend?
We are super sad that the 2015 Cannes Film Festival has come to an end and the days of daydreaming about all the gorgeous gowns are behind us, but now we'll just have to spend our time reminiscing about the red carpet!
Happy Memorial Day, America. Are you relaxing like our country's most famous bachelor this weekend?

Saudi as world human rights watch? Now they accuse Myanmar of 'ethnic cleansing'
Saudi Arabia accused authorities in Buddhist-majority Myanmar on Monday of "ethnic cleansing" against the Muslim Rohingya minority in the west of the country, state media reported on Tuesday.
The Saudi cabinet said it "condemns the ethnic cleansing campaign and brutal attacks against Myanmar's Muslim Rohingya citizens, as well as violation of human rights by forcing them to leave their homeland," in a statement carried by the official SPA news agency.
The cabinet, chaired by King Abdullah, urged the "international community to take up its responsibilities by providing needed protection and quality of life to Muslims in Myanmar and preventing further loss of life."
Fighting in western Rakhine state between Buddhist Rakhine and Muslim Rohingya left three killed on Sunday, a government official in Yangon said.
The violence initially broke out following the rape and murder of a Rakhine woman and the subsequent lynching of 10 Muslims by a crowd of angry Buddhists.
The bloodshed has cast a shadow over widely praised reforms by President Thein Sein, that have included the release of hundreds of political prisoners and the election of opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi to parliament.
The head of the Saudi-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation on Sunday proposed sending an OIC mission to probe the "massacres" of Rohingya Muslims.
The OIC will try to persuade the government in Yangon to accept an OIC fact-finding mission, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu told an executive committee meeting of the world's largest Muslim grouping which is based in the Saudi city of Jeddah.
He "expressed disappointment over the failure of the international community to take action to stop the massacres, violations, oppression and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by the government of Myanmar against the Rohingya Muslims."
"The OIC has directed its offices at the United Nations in New York to urge the Council to look into the suffering of the Rohingya minority," he said, quoted in a statement issued by the 57-member organization.
Violence which erupted in June in Rakhine state between Buddhists and Rohingya left about 80 people dead from both sides, official figures showed.
The New York-based Human Rights Watch said that figure appeared "grossly underestimated," however, and accused security forces of opening fire on Muslims and committing rape.
Hundreds of Rohingya men and boys have been rounded up and remain incommunicado in the western region of the country formerly known as Burma, it said in a report.
Members of both the Muslim and Buddhist communities committed horrific acts of violence with reports of beheadings, stabbings, shootings and widespread arson in Rakhine, also known as Arakan state, the report added
On Sunday, the Speaker of the Arab Parliament, Ali al-Salem al-Dekbasi said the violent incidents taking place in Myanmar against the Muslims were "ethnic cleansing".
"Thousands of Muslims in Myanmar face massacre, genocide and ethnic cleansing. I call on all Muslim leaders to urgently intervene in the incidents," al-Dekbasi said.
"I call on the Myanmar authorities to arrest those responsible for the attacks against the Muslims. All those responsible should be tried by the International Criminal Court," al-Dekbasihe added/.
Myanmar's government considers the estimated 800,000 Rohingya in the country to be foreigners, while many citizens see them as illegal immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh and view them with hostility.
Decades of discrimination have left them stateless and they are viewed by the United Nations as one of the world's most persecuted minorities.
Do you think Saudi should get involved? Is there own record on human rights a problem? Tell us what you think below.

Its Human being not animal or plant ...so u can cut it at any convenient time.....those who did they will pay for it by nature ...god never forgive such acts .... that killing innocent ......shame shame shame
pakistani military should enter in myanmar
This Cursed people of Burma Buddhist will suffer a painful death by nature. Allah will definitely show his terror. In this holy Month of Ramadan they have done merciless act which no caste would have done. But Buddhist so called peaceful ppl. These are all hypocrites bastards wait and watch for ALLAH's Curse on you worst than animals. Atleast if you were human being you would you have spared Women and children. These bastards are stain on Society. Whoever supports them are all evils.
It all started because some Muslims raped a Buddhist girl.
Saudi Arabia needs to much foreign labor. My suggestion:
In order to help the Rohinga, import them to Saudi Arabia!
meeting of 57members of OIC on 14 & 15th aug 2012 i simply request to this muslim leaders, this buddist hve no rights to rule anymore in mayanmar burma so goahead through them out.
in every country there are different religious people are leaving , if action will not be taken against myanmar president , this will happen in other country also, who will responsible? where is human rights ?
Thankyou so much for posting your comment Aung , everyone should pray and Get toghter to stop this brutality ,
Not only Saudis but all those who have sympathy with human beings should get involved and avoid the terrorist and cursed Buddhists from killing the innocent women and children in that country. What you want from Saudi in regard to human rights is a Western style of democracy; however, in Burma a human being is being deprived of his/her life. The two are never comparable with each other.
all muslims countries should enter burma and kill , throw buddhists out of burma ...
all muslims countries should involve in this matter and throw buddhists out of burma n kill thm.
All Muslim Media should talk about the Muslims of Burma genocide, there are tens of thousands of people there have been killed inface in the 80's about 500.000 of them were killed.
I support Saudi Arabia descision, also all muslims countries should get involved and push this in the UN and cut all relations with Burma, also they should keep arming the muslims burmese as an option and the right of self determination as an option.
Pleees take the right actions and force dat budhhist burma to give the citizen ship to those innocent muslims who live ther from centuries and warn them to either protect muslims ther and stop killing or ready for attack .........
InshAllah all of them should get proper treatment like humans.....
Yes! not only all the muslim countries but also other countries should raise their voice againts this Brutal Muslim Killings in Burma.
This is a clear injustice. Complete inhuman and barbaric behavior. Please raise voice and take initiative against them.
Where is world human rights?
The Myanmar people who dislike Rohingya are very confusing people. They say that Rohingya are not Burmese people and they are not citizens but illegal aliens.
That still does not give you the right to persecute your minority. Moreover, your own President Thein Sein in told the Bangladeshi government that he will accept the Rohingya refugees back and back in his country he wants them to move out.
Myanmar wants to kick them out and Bangladesh will not let them in.
Are you Burmese people human.
Do you know you Buddha is not Burmese but an Indian prince.
Stop calling the Rohingya Kalar.
If you call Rohingya Kalar that then Buddha is a Kalar too!
Stop calling the Rohingya Kalar.
If you call Rohingya Kalar that then Buddha is a Kalar too!
Stop calling the Rohingya Kalar.
If you call Rohingya Kalar that then Buddha is a Kalar too!
Stop calling the Rohingya Kalar.
If you call Rohingya Kalar that then Buddha is a Kalar too!
Stop calling the Rohingya Kalar.
If you call Rohingya Kalar that then Buddha is a Kalar too!
In Buddhism you are not supposed to kill any animals, but your Burmese government is killing humans, especially Rohingya women and children.
Hitler dissolved citizenship of Jews.
Myanmar dissolved citizenship of Rohingya.
Hitler reclaimed property of Jews.
Myanmar reclaimed property of Rohingya.
Hitler erased history of Jews.
Myanmar is erasing history of Rohingya.
Hitler started ghettos camps for Jews.
Myanmar created ghettos and now President Thein Sein is suggesting camps for Rohingya.
Myanmar Junta = Fascism = Hitler = Enemy of Humanity = Disgrace to Buddhism.
Your Buddha is genetically closest to Rohingya than any other ethnic community on Myanmar. Before you call Rohingya Kalar, remember you are calling your Buddha kalar!
Even Americans give basic humans rights to Mexican illegal immigrants.
Do you know Rohingya all around the world still love Burma and keep buying products from Burma?
Rohingya are the best asset for Burma. If you give them citizen, they can help you boost trade with Muslim countries. 1 billion people for Burma to trade with.
Stop this illegal Bangali nonsense. Bangladesh will not accept them and majority have lived in Myanmar for decades if not centuries.
Even a citizen of Myanmar who comes to US illegally and gives birth to a child, Then that child is automatic US citizen.
Have some human dignity. At least remember that your Buddha is not part of any ethnic Burmese group and is genetically closest to the Rohingya.
From that perspective why are you killing and raping the cousins of Buddha! Your religion's founder is actually an Indian!
why should only muslim countries get involved in this matter in that case all other religions doesnt preach humanity
Yes of course they should, thousands of innocent people are being brutally killed - it's not right and everyone should try to stop this nasty genocide from continuing.
As for the comments regarding Saudi's own laws, foreigners have a choice to enter or not enter the country. The people in Burma have no choice, they have been living their for years and now they are either being killed or forced to leave their homes. Please check out the YouTube videos on the Burma killings and create awareness.
Muslims are not the PROBLEM,
But the rest of the WORLD is.
Bias news, Fake photos.
Rohingyas are not Myanmar Ethnic,
1. Rohingya language is Bangali ( Bangladesh Language )
2. There was no Term as " Rohingya " in British Era Burma, UK definitely knows.
3. There is not single photo evidence of Musilms Dead bodies ( Alll photos are Fake)
4. Ethnic Arakanese are the Victims too, why is the World silent about Arkanese Victims who have been murdered by Jihadists.
5. Demographic Problems, West knows more about that because they are seriously facing that issue, or for their Generation.
6. Clearly Bangladesh has Muslim population of 180 Million, Myanmar has 56 Million.
Bangladesh country size is one third of Myanmar Land.
So what ?? DEMOGRAPHIC STREAM... THEY ARE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTs, THEY ARE BENGALIs..
Can anyone of them speak Myanmar Language = 0%
Can all Rohingya speak Bangali Bangladesh Language = 100 %
Who tell me, What Country are they belong to ???
Since Myanmar is very Poor country, They are not in position to take care of this illegal Bangali immigrants.
Any Rich Country which is willing to help poor rohingyas, you are welcome to Take all of them to your Country, give food, shelter, and give citizenship of your Country.
Thanks, not in Myanmar
We Strongly Support Saudi PLAN.Saudi must persuade Present Myanamar by Giving Aids Loans etc,.
Yes i request the Arabic countries to please get involve in this matter. Please our muslims brothers and sisters are getting killed.
Hope Saudi stop all this issues going in Burma and also stop Burma/Myanmar entering in Arabic Countries.
yes......saudi should get involved bcoz they are markaz of muslims
yes saudi arabia shoud be get involved in this metter and prevent Genosic of rohingya Muslims or stop killing innocent people in burma..
why don't all the muslim countries take them by quotas.
President Thein Sein is wise indeed. I am sure US and Europe like his idea. They just don't say it so.
my humble request to saudi to please help innocent muslims and also takd revenge of their blood
This is rich, coming from a country which would not allow other religions to be practised in it and will prosecute those who do.
Saudi should also look into their own country where they harrassing/ killing innocent SHIA MUSLIMS and hurting thier faith too
Well i am against killing of any human being over religion but at the same time i believe that Saudis don't have right to question removal of minorities in other countries. First Do What you Preach and if you are only saying here that attrocites against muslims are bad and Allah is ok with attrocites on Non Muslims , then you better don't interfere with others business.

Toulouse thumped Clermont 29-6 in Marseille on Friday to book their place in the French Top 14 title decider.
Fijian wing Rupeni Caucaunibeni grabbed a brace for the victors while flyhalf David Skrela kicked four penalties and a conversion. Replacement pivot Nicolas Bezy added another penalty and conversion to seal a convincing win.
Outside centre Marius Joubert's Clermont delivered a flat performance as they could only add two penalties in the first stanza. Trailing 13-6 at half-time, they were kept scoreless after the break as Toulouse powered to victory. Toulouse will play Racing Metro or Montpellier in the final.
The defeat will be Joubert's final game for Clermont after a four year stint and he will join the Sharks for the closing rounds of Super Rugby.

'The Place and The Work' Conference will be held on Saturday 6, Sunday 7 September.
Making art works in relation to place is the focus of this year's North Lands Creative Glass Conference and Master Classes; acknowledging how artists and their work connect to their surroundings, landscape, architecture, history and social context.
We see more interactive public art, more artists responding to and working with communities. Artists are making works that respond to weather, nature or urban environments, to political discourse and social situations. It seems that some artists and public demand less autonomous disconnected sculpture favouring instead a more connected vision.
We ask questions about what it means to experience remoteness, how this and being in a place away from home affect an artist's work. What influences the particularities of a landscape can have and what it means to collaborate with artists in close proximity, to work intensively with no distractions and to embrace or reject the surroundings.
What can happen when we go beyond our familiar studio environment and step outside into a bigger picture? What does it mean to be a glass specialist in this place, at this time?
Tickets (incl. VAT):
Conference £200
Reduced fee for Master Class participants £160
Full-time students £145
Members of the Contemporary Glass Society and Scottish Glass Society will get a 10% discount on Conference fees.

9.00 Introduction
9.30-10.30 'Playing In the City' Andrew Shoben will talk about the potential of small interventions, embedded into the urban fabric of a public space, to allow some form of self-expression in areas of the city that people see everyday but normally exclude and ignore. He will show a series of examples of work that attempt to establish special, intimate zones, to 'short circuit' both the environmental and social expectations supplied by the surrounding urban realm. And to have fun with the city!
Andrew Shoben is a Professor of Public Art at Goldsmiths, University of London, and founder of greyworld, a world-renowned artists' collective creating art in public spaces. In 2004 they launched The Source, a permanent installation for the London Stock Exchange which was unveiled by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and watched on television by millions every day, internationally. In 2010, they unveiled 'Paint' an installation allowing phones to paint on the city. Commissioned by Nokia, it has recently been nominated 'Interactive artwork of the year' by the Design Museum. In early 2012, greyworld launched 'Trafalgar Sun' a giant installation for Trafalgar Square, London. Andrew is a regular contributor to television, radio and print, and lectures extensively around the world. Most recently he presented a show on BBC Radio 4 entitled 'Change of Art'
10.30 Break
11.00-12.00 'The Place and The Work' Helen Maurer and Angela Moore
'We will discuss the role of place within our own practices and give an outline of our collaborative ventures, also reflecting upon the master class, on the experience of working together with the group, in the Highlands, and how it has distorted, fogged and inspired us.'
Helen Maurer's early studies were in Visual and Performing Arts at Brighton University. Later she studied glass at Central St Martins School of Art and the Royal College of Art. She is represented by Danielle Arnaud Gallery, London and also works on site-specific commissions. She collaborates with other artists, choreographers and musicians. Helen was awarded the Jerwood Prize for Glass in 2003 for her unique approach to glass.
Angela Moore is a photographer known for her high profile campaign photography connected to the art and design world. Her work is used in magazines worldwide and includes highly innovative projects for Frieze Art Fair, Vitra, Kvadrat, SCP, Tord Boontje, the Design Museum and Modus. She has photographed cookbooks for Heston Blumenthal, Canteen and Nigel Slater. Angela's work has been exhibited in Thessaloniki Museum of Photography, Greece and Monat der Fotografie, Vienna. Helen and Angela first worked together on a commission for the Pump House Gallery, London where they started their 'Bad Magic' project. They went on to create work for the Swarovski magazine, Crystallized, They share interests in illusory images and in the effects of light and projection.
12.00-1.00 'Land Art and the Experience of Place' Joy Sleeman
'The new art of landscape that emerged from the late 1960s forged novel connections with places and, sometimes inadvertently, reactivated previous ways of seeing and relating to landscape. Taking some famous examples of Land Art – and some less well known ones – my talk will investigate ways in which works of art relate to places both remote and local.'
Joy Sleeman is an art historian, curator and writer who lectures in the History and Theory of Art at University College London, Slade School of Fine Art. Her research focuses on landscape and sculpture, particularly in Britain. Her publications include essays on 'Land Art and the Moon Landing' (2009) and 'From Land Art to the Anthropocene' in the catalogue to the Royal Academy of Arts London exhibition, 'Modern British Sculpture' (2011). She recently co-curated the exhibition 'Uncommon Ground: Land Art in Britain 1966-1979' for the Arts Council Collection, which toured to four UK venues between May 2013 and June 2014. Her book on 'The Sculpture of William Tucker' was published in 2007 and her current book project is 'Five Sites for Five Sculptures: Roelof Louw and British Sculpture since the 1960s'. She is an editor of the 'Sculpture Journal'.
1.00 – 2.00 Lunch
Saturday Afternoon Seminar, Demonstrations and Practical Sessions
2.00-3.00 25 mins talk and 35 mins seminar. Elke Westen
'My talk will reflect on the use of modern materials and techniques to integrate the artwork into the environment and the fabric of buildings, according to the specifications and requirements of the client.
'The projects can be on a very large scale, exceeding the possibilities of a normal size studio. In some cases, the help of specialized glass companies, e.g. Derix Glasstudios, can make the projects economical, viable and profitable. My talk will highlight the advantages a co-operation with commercial entities can have and I will demonstrate this on examples of public glass artworks including my own.'
Elke Westen has a background in design and her work focuses on large scale architectural glass in public spaces. She will give a short introductory talk and hold a practical group seminar for participants interested in further discussion around the subject of collaboration, or advice about their own projects. Elke has 20 years' experience of commissioned projects and gained her MA from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin. She is the vice chair for the Scottish Glass Society and a freelance project consultant for the world renowned 'Derix Glassstudios' in Germany.
2.30-4.00 Making Blowing Moulds from Clay. A practical session using clay pressed into boxes to create blowing moulds. The participants' moulds will be blown by Wil Sideman. The results can be viewed and collected on Sunday.
2.30-4.00 Engraving Demonstrations will involve printing with glass and explore mark making. These will be led by Heather Gillespie and Laura Reid.
4.00 Tea at Waterlines, Lybster Harbour
4.30 Cliff-top walk with Caithness Countryside Rangers (optional)
6.30-8.00 Private View 'A Forest of Glass'
An exhibition showing work by Laura Reid, Wil Sideman, Madeline Mackay and Heather Gillespie who took part in an experimental engraving residency project devised by Michael Bullen.
The exhibition explores the experience of the artists living and working together in a remote and isolated log cabin in Borgie Forest, one of the most northerly forests in the UK.
Working directly from nature, the artists used glass engravers powered by generators. The artists will be present and will show experiments and finished works including glass works, video, photographs and drawings from the project. A Forest of Glass was part of Creative Futures, a Creative Scotland talent development programme which aims to promote the professional development, capabilities, connectivity and ambitions of Scotland's creative practitioners and organisations. The project was a partnership between North Lands Creative Glass and The Borgie Forest Cabin Project.
8.00 Evening Dinner and Entertainment
10.00-10.15 Arrival and Coffee
10.15-11.00 'A man had gone and left only unfriendly empty spaces behind' Petr Stanický
'In my works I move between the figural and an architectural feeling of space. I employ a variety of materials and techniques. I work with pasteboard, wood, steel and bronze, as well as taking a big interest in glass. Despite the number of mediums I employ, I try to stay consistent and focused in my work. It is typified by constant attention to clear statement and highly direct expression. Expression in my work tends towards reduced forms, an austere artistic morphology and, in recent years, to awareness of the creative process. I observe the process as an act determined by the time and place of its evolution, as in sculptures from the Process series (2010).'
The breadth of Petr Stanický's work is reflected in his rich and diverse studies in the Czech Republic and the USA. At the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague he studied sculpture, specialising in stone carving and with glass in architecture; he graduated in 2000. He taught sculpture at the Arts Academy in Prague before joining a masters programme at the New York Arts Academy. From there he gained experience working on sculptural projects in Jeff Koons' studio. He leads a new masters programme in glass at Tomas Bata University in Zlín, Czech Republic. His work has been widely exhibited in Europe and is currently at the National Glass Centre, Sunderland.
11.00-12.00 'Chance and challenge: Site specific objects in museum galleries. Samples from the 'Coburg Prize for Contemporary Glass 2014' exhibition' Dr.Sven Hauschke.
'More and more works of art are made for specific sites. Often presented in nature or outside buildings, they are usually displayed only temporarily. The paper will discuss situations when these objects are shown subsequently in exhibitions or museum galleries. The focus will be on objects made with glass, but other works of art will be considered as well.'
Sven Hauschke is Director of the European Museum of Modern Glass and Curator of Works of Art at Kunstammlungen Der Veste, Coburg. He is also Curator of the Coburg Glaspreis 2014. He will talk about the Coburg Glass Prize and the issues of bringing site-specific glass works into the museum.
12.00-12.15 Break
12.15-1.00 'Influenced by…' Kristiina Uslar
'At the beginning of my glass artist career I drew my inspiration mainly from Roman cage-cups and labyrinths, but my inspiration sources have changed in time, and I have adapted a million other unknown influences and most of them have played an important role in the 'bigger picture'.
'Almost all my works are made in pāte de verre technique and are developed by growing multiple levels out of the first one. Definite systems, airiness, fragility, density of columns and networks, and layers supported by each other are the keywords to describe my works. The final result can be extremely tender and fragile, even while it seems massive, heavy and steady. It is interesting for me, to find the borders between fragility and complexity. Aside from the concept, the technical part is also very important for me. I will introduce my artworks from 2004 until now. I will try to open up conceptions and inspiration sources.'
Kristiina Uslar graduated from the Estonia Academy of Art in 2003 where she later taught in the glass department. She completed an MA in 2007 'My intention and goal was not to restore the technique but to study and develop it toward artwork and through this to gradually unfold the variety of ways in which the technique can be innovated.' She lives and works in Estonia and has been exhibiting her work in Europe, the USA and Japan since 2001. Her work has been acknowledged in various glass awards and is held in many major collections.
1.00-2.15 Lunch
2.15-3.00 'Standing on Shoulders; using glass skills in performance art' Richard William Wheater. Some of the world's most accomplished artists rely on specialist skills within a team to realise their work, a dependence often overshadowed by a preference to focus on the artist's singular vision. The current status quo – and tension of glass often acting as invisible glue to the spectacle – will be discussed by the artist.
Richard William Wheater gained notoriety for an ambitious project in 2008 titled 'Them and Us'. Touring the UK with his mobile furnace he hot-sculpted indigenous glass birds in their natural habitat, he then released them into the air in a ritualistic act, which both freed and destroyed them. An artist/performer committed to making and the science of materials, his work is also ephemeral, transitory art, involving place and people. An in-depth study of neon has resulted in events such as '12 Months of Neon Love', in which a neon bill-board announced declarations of love, lines from popular songs, which changed monthly. Other neon works made, like his recent 'Land to Sea' project, involve groups of people and aim to unite people with landscape. His installations have been both site specific and gallery based. He studied at Edinburgh College of Art, Alfred University USA and the University of Sunderland. He lives in Wakefield, UK.
3.00-4.00 'Pursuing Impossible Ideas' Lise Autogena
'I will speak about site specific approaches to three large scale site-specific projects:
Foghorn Requiem, Sound Mirrors Project and Black Shoals Stock Market Planetarium'
Lise Autogena is a Danish artist, based in London and Professor of Cross Disciplinary Art at Sheffield Hallam University. She worked internationally with glass between the late 80s until the late 1990s. She was nominated for the Jerwood Prize and awarded an Arts Foundation Prize for her work in glass in 1998. Her work has since then combined a curatorial and fine art approach to developing large scale performances, site-specific works, and multimedia installations, usually developed in collaboration with communities, organisations and individuals across many specialist fields. Through these projects she has explored how economic, geographic, technological and societal systems impact on our human experience and sense of self in the world.
4.00 Final Summing Up and Feedback
'The Place and The Work' is sponsored by Corning Incorporated, USA

It is the second most popular name in Spain.
Fernández - (Son of Fernando, from Germanic Fredenand or Fridnand. Most of the common Spanish surnames originating from Germanic first names were introduced in Spain during centuries V-VII by the Visigoths, so almost all of them are from the Visigoth tradition)
The German name that it derives from means "brave traveler."
The Arabized version of this surname is Ibn Faranda. It was used by the Mozarabs and Muwallads in Al-Andalus.

Johan Goosen spent Tuesday's training session running at flyhalf, indicating strongly that he is likely to run-on against Australia at Loftus on Saturday.
In my experience, because of time constraints in terms of preparation, Springbok coaches have had to show their selection hand in the Tuesday session. Goosen lined up in what is almost certainly the starting side, while Morne Steyn worked defence with the players opposing them.
Goosen made good impressions in his short stints off the bench against the Wallabies in Perth and All Blacks in Dunedin. He has been the man most have called for to replace the struggling Steyn and it appears coach Heyneke Meyer will entrust him with a big part of the responsibility for galvanising the team's attack.
Meanwhile, it appears Frans Steyn will recover from a rolled ankle in time for the Test. He made significant improvements overnight, and while he was still on crutches at the session as a precaution, my understanding is that he will play.
'The X-rays were clear and the swelling has settled nicely. We're hoping to get him to do some training on Wednesday,' said Springbok team doctor Craig Roberts.
Flip van der Merwe (lock, calf), Jacques Potgieter (flank, groin) and Lwazi Mvovo (wing, hamstring) did not train with the squad on Tuesday and will be managed accordingly. A final call on their availability will be made later in the week.
Elsewhere in the team, Eben Etzebeth looks set to return to action after a suspension and will partner Andries Bekker in what appears to be the only other change from the side that lost to the Blacks in Dunedin.

Alisa Weilerstein thought the email was spam. It came from an address she didn't recognize. It said that the sender had some very good news for her, please call. "I thought it was one of those, you know, 'I'm your long lost Nigerian grandparent who wants to give you a million dollars, that sort of thing,'" she says. She deleted it.
Then she got a garbled message on her cellphone – she was in Jerusalem at the time, performing – then another email. She decided to return the call, to a phone number in Chicago.
"And he said, 'Do you know who I am?' And I said, 'No.' He said, 'Well, I work for the MacArthur Foundation' and I didn't even know what that was." The man explained what the MacArthur Foundation's mission was and told her that they were about to announce their 2011 round of Fellows. Someone she knew had just been awarded a fellowship.
"I said, 'Well, who?' and he said, 'Well, you.'" Weilerstein had been given one of the MacArthur's coveted "genius" grants, $500,000 to be used in any way seen fit by the winner.
The cellist, 30, who performs with the Pacific Symphony Thursday through Dec. 8, may appear to be an overnight success, suddenly arriving on the world's concert stages over the past few years with a startling frequency. She had the goods, but where did she come from?
Actually, Weilerstein was a child prodigy – her first cello was fashioned from a Rice Krispies box and a toothbrush by her grandmother – but a carefully nurtured one. She gave her first public performance when she was 4 and her first big-time solo performance with the Cleveland Orchestra when she was 13. But her parents, both musicians, and her agent were determined that the young cellist wasn't pushed too hard, didn't burn out.
"We always thought, well, OK, I want to have a long career and a very enjoyable one and so the idea behind that was to really build it step by step," Weilerstein says. "So it was really baby steps in the beginning so then by the time that I was playing with bigger orchestras, even though I was still in my early 20s, I had had nearly 10 years of experience behind me."
She remembers even at 13, when she played with the Cleveland Orchestra, not feeling any pressure.
"This will sound very ridiculous," she says, "but before I walked on stage, I said, 'Wow, I have waited my whole long, entire 13-year-old life to do something like this and it's about time!' That's how I felt; I was very impatient for something like this to happen because it was always my dream to be able to communicate with audiences and to play with great, great players and I just felt so lucky and so happy."
Weilerstein attended a regular high school – "I had a lot of friends growing up" – and the Cleveland Institute of Music after hours. When she went off to college, she attended Columbia University majoring not in music, but Russian history. Her concert appearances were kept at 50 a year, or about one week of touring a month, though it wasn't necessarily simple to handle.
"I wrote papers on planes, trains and automobiles, it was pretty crazy," she says. "I mean, I didn't sleep for four years." She graduated in 2004 nevertheless, already with an Avery Fisher Career Grant under her belt (2000).
Weilerstein performs about 140 concerts a year now. She manages a busy traveling schedule and Type 1 diabetes (diagnosed as a child, she became an advocate for the Junior Diabetes Research Foundation in 2008) with apparent ease. She's in Ireland when we speak, taking a quick vacation between engagements.
Decca recently signed her to a recording contract, its first in more than 30 years for a cellist. Her first recording for the label, released this fall, is getting a lot of buzz. It pairs the cello concertos of Edward Elgar and the late Elliott Carter. The thorny Carter concerto (written in 2000) is a particularly tough sell. Decca sent out promotional issues of the recording that omitted it (unaware, Weilerstein laughs when she hears about it), and so far the cellist has had no takers for the work with concert presenters.
"I really like the piece, I completely believe in the piece. But, yes, Carter's music generally is much more cerebral, so let's just say it takes kind of growing into and getting accustomed to the language. Even for me when I was learning it, it took me awhile to really, really get inside it. ... But it's a fantastic piece." She says she's doing everything she can to promote it.
Her solo vehicle here in Orange County will be much more mundane, if you can call the greatest piece in the concerto repertoire for the cello mundane. Dvorák's Cello Concerto is performed so often that some listeners may prefer something a little less familiar. Do cellists ever get tired of playing it?

The chances of the owners of Internet gaming cafés being refunded the fees they paid to operate their shops appear to rank between slim and none.
In Alamance County, those businesses were closed Wednesday following months of legal wranglings.
Alamance County District Attorney Pat Nadolski made the call, a decision many felt had been in the works for a long while. Such cafés in most neighboring counties had already closed.
The owner of at least one local café questioned if he was entitled to a pro-rated refund of the money he'd spent to make his games legal. Such a refund looks doubtful.
"We treat it like any other privilege license," said Frank Hope, administrative services director for the city of Burlington. "You buy at the beginning of the year, it's for the year."
Asked if he was aware of the city encountering a previous situation where a business was legal one day and illegal the next, Hope said he wasn't. Still, he said, the issue is clear.
"It's non-refundable," Hope said. "State statute is pretty clear on that."
He said if someone wanted to appeal, the matter would be addressed by Charles Bateman, attorney for the city of Burlington.
"It'd go to the attorney, then to the (Burlington City) Council, if it went that far," Hope said.
Such privilege licenses are sold for a fiscal year – which begins July 1 and ends June 30.
Since the shops were closed due to no fault of the owners, the question has been raised if they should be refunded 25 percent of what they paid in license fees – for the months of April, May and June.
Fees charged to operate Internet café games were pretty stout. Last May, members of the Burlington City Council upped fees to $2,500 for the first terminal at a café and $1,000 for each additional one. In Graham, the fee was $2,500 per business and $250 per machine.
Haw River had among the lowest fees of any area municipality – owners of Internet cafés or convenience stores where such games were operated charged $250 per machine.
Graham Mayor Jerry Peterman said he couldn't imagine a case where owners of Internet cafés would be refunded a portion of their privilege licenses. He said if the owner of another business purchased a privilege license and the business didn't make it a year, there'd be no refund.
"The answer is 'no,' " Peterman said.
Don Bullis, owner of Village Marketplace Sweepstakes on West Main Street in Haw River, said he disagreed. His shop includes 99 gaming machines.
"If they're illegal, they weren't supposed to license them in the first place," he said.
Haw River Mayor Buddy Boggs said the owners of Internet gaming cafés knew for a long while their businesses might be closed. State officials have argued the games are part of a problem that inordinately affects those who can afford it the least – families on the lower end of the socio-economic scale. They say the games lead to domestic problems and serve no productive societal purpose.
Boggs said he likes Bullis and admires the work he did to improve Village Marketplace Sweepstakes, one of the nicer Internet gaming facilities in the county. But Boggs said owners like Bullis knew the day may come when they'd be closed.
"When we sold them the license, we informed them they were nonrefundable," Boggs said.
Jeremy Akins, Alamance County tax administrator, said while the tax year stretches from July 1 to June 30, taxes are assessed based on the status of the property on Jan. 1 – halfway through the cycle. Billing is in arrears – the 2012 taxes, for example, paying for July 2011 to June 2012.
"If a sweepstakes parlor operates from July 1, 2012, to Feb. 28, 2013, they would have been in operation for eight months during the 2013 billing period," Akins wrote in an email to the Times-News. "However, we have not yet billed for 2013 and will not knowingly bill any illegal businesses for 2013. Therefore, any claim that such businesses should be allowed to operate until June 30, 2013, due to taxes paid shows an incorrect understanding of the tax calendar."
Akins continued: "No one is 'paid up' beyond last June."
