Stanley Kubrick: Visionary Filmmaker Collection(1962-1999)
Collection of seven films from celebrated director Stanley Kubrick. In 'Lolita' (1962), an adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's controversial novel, Humbert Humbert is a fastidious, middle-aged British novelist who is both appalled by and attracted to the vulgarity of American culture. When he comes to stay at the boarding house run by Charlotte Haze he soon becomes obsessed with Lolita, the woman's teenaged daughter. In fact, his passion for the girl becomes so overwhelming that he is willing to accept Charlotte's intimations of marriage just in order to be close to her daughter. Humbert then plots to spend more and more time alone with Lolita, but his pursuit of his obsession soon becomes such that it leaves all their lives damaged. In '2001 - a Space Odyssey' (1968), at the dawn of mankind, a tribe of ape-like beings are visited on Earth by a large black monolith. Thousands of years later, in the year 2001, scientist Dr Heywood Floyd discovers a similar black monolith on the moon, which then emits a signal aimed at the planet Jupiter. A year later, astronauts David Bowman and Frank Poole are en route to Jupiter to investigate the signal's destination and purpose. However, their mission comes under threat when the ship's computer, HAL, seemingly develops a malfunction. Kubrick's controversial crime drama 'A Clockwork Orange' (1971) supposedly triggered copycat violence on its initial release and, as a result, the director withdrew the film from circulation in Britain, keeping it suppressed right up to his death in 1999. The film follows sadistic punk Alex as he takes his gang on a rape and murder spree, showing absolutely no mercy to any of his victims. When he is eventually captured, the authorities subject him to a series of experiments designed to rid him of his violent tendencies. 'Barry Lyndon' (1975) is based on the novel 'The Luck of Barry Lyndon' by William M. Thackeray. Redmond Barry is an Irish country boy who falls in love with a well-to-do local girl and is subsequently tricked by her family into leaving town. Disillusioned with love, the brokenhearted youngster then embarks on an adventure which sees him serve in the Seven Years' War, earn a living as a professional gambler, and eventually move into the higher ranks of society when he meets and marries the beautiful Lady Lyndon. However, despite the luck which has brought him such riches, it is this final move, the cynical choice to marry for social advancement rather than love, which brings about Barry's downfall. In 'The Shining' (1980), adapted from the Stephen King shocker, Jack Torrance takes a job as an off-season caretaker at the remote Overlook Hotel in Colorado in an attempt to seek solitude to write a novel. Eager to get started, Jack disregards warnings that the isolation drove a former caretaker mad, and moves into the massive resort with his wife Wendy and son Danny. But Danny has a supernatural gift which makes him aware of an evil lurking in the hotel, and sure enough, as winter storms cut the hotel off from civilisation, Jack gradually becomes murderously insane. 'Full Metal Jacket' (1987) details the dehumanizing effect of military combat, as experienced by a bunch of Vietnam conscripts under the training of the sadistic Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. The second half of the film follows one of the recruits, Joker, onto the battlefield as he is thrown into the war at the height of the Tet offensive. Finally, in 'Eyes Wide Shut' (1999), Kubrick's last film, Alice returns home from a party one night and confesses that she still has fantasies about a sailor she once knew. Her husband William is shocked and jealous, and when he is later called away on business, he finds it impossible to return home, embarking instead on a journey into an illicit underworld of prostitution and sexual debauchery.

If my boyfriend doesn't agree to adoption, does that mean I cant do it?
When the mother wants to have an adoption, and the father won't agree, does that mean that the baby can't be put up for adoption? And if the mother does put it up for adoption, all the rights will go right to the father?

My husband of 13 yrs and I are looking to adopt a child since I am unable to have one. Maybe meeting potential adoptive parents and seeing that they can love and nurture your child may put his mind at ease. They also have open adoptions, which allows the adoptive parents to provide pictures and visits to the birth parents. Again maybe telling him that he still will have access to the child may help??posted 07/19/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Im 13 weeks pregnant baby is healthy from what the doctor says. Looking to place for adoption as i already have my 4 year old. Im only 20. I cannot provide for both. ive seen where the women get paid to hand over the child. I mean is that really true??? Says the adoptive parents claim as gift. Obviously its illegal but would be quite convenient to someone struggling.posted 04/16/2013 by beckavasquez
I feel if you do not want to keep your baby, then you should give the baby to his or her father..if the father does not agree to the adoption. Work out some sort of arrangements to help with the support. It's not fair to not give the father a chance to keep his own child if thats what he wants.posted 07/09/2012 by ceina2
Your boyfriend has rights to his child and it needs to be worked out before the baby is born if you want to do what is best for him or her. There are far too many cases where the mom, adoption agency and perhaps (but not in every case) the prospective adoptive couple conspire to keep dad out. The adoptive couple cries that they are the only family he or she knows, but if he wants his baby, he will eventually get his child. Father have rights afforded to them by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. The sad part in those cases is that the child is 2,3, 7 years old and the family that raised the child not only has no rights, never gets to hear from the child again. If you love your child, would you really want to put him or her through all of that?posted 03/02/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
in every state you do legally need the fathers permission even if you are unmarried and yes if he can prove he is the father through dna test he would get the baby if u signed over your rights hoever alot of adoption agencys are sneaky and will try to get around the fathers right to stop itposted 08/12/2011 by sjvfan77
If your boyfriend is the biological father and he protests you giving the babe up for adoption, then you can't do it. He has to agree. You can give up your parental rights though and he can have sole custody of the child.posted 06/13/2011 by monlyn
yes he has a say but he will have to undergo counceling and have to go to court to pretty much fight you to not go through with adoption and if h isnt willng or abl to do that then its really up to you. i was adopted as a baby an my birth father was suossed to sign his righs away but he left town, plu my mom also adoped 4 othe is. just becase the father doesnt agree doesnt mean you cant do it. if he is young his parents and him will have to figre out how it will workand the court will make a decision as to what isbest for the baby. just talk to him. i think adoption is great as im adopted and i want to adopt one day. contact a lawyer for a consultation and see at the laws r in your state and justtalk to your boyfriendand explain your conserns. also you can do an open adoption that way h can be in thebaby life.posted 06/12/2011 by couponmom681
Each state has different rules to custody rulings. In most states though he would have to get a paternity test to prove he's even the father which doesn't come cheap and then he'd have to take you to court to get joint custody. It wouldn't automatically be given to him. I understand what you're going through tho. I went through it when I was pregnant with my daughter. I was afraid my BF and I wouldn't stay together and my daughter would be raised in a broken home which I really didn't want to do. My BF was completely against adoption too but more because he was selfish and didn't want someone else getting what he felt was his. He insisted he'd help me through it all and right after our daughter was born, he bailed. He did eventually come back but he realized just how hard taking care of a baby really is. Now I'm married to someone else and we raise my daughter as our own. Her dad pays child support and sees her every other weekend and he never asks for more. Just a thought.posted 05/31/2011 by nerual84
I believe that fathers also have to be included in the adoption process, he has just as many rights as you do legally.posted 05/23/2011 by momof92011
NO. You can absolutely still place a child for adoption. My husband and I are unable to have kids and we're going through the adoption process (we're at the final step; just waiting now to be matched), so I've been through this info. It might be different in each state though, so I suggest you contact either an attorney in your state or contact an adoption or matching agency. We're going through A Loving Choice Adoptions and I know they have information on their website about it. Call and speak with the director, Phyllis. She's a fountain of knowledge; she stays up to date with all the adoption laws in each state and has been doing this for years. If you do decide to place your child for adoption, know there are good people out there who long for the chance to be parents. Either way you decide to go, I wish you the best of luck.posted 05/23/2011 by Bttrlfywriter

Odds against Alex Rodriguez in federal court
The Supreme Court ruled in 1960 that "the refusal of courts to review the merits of an arbitration award is the proper approach to arbitration under collective bargaining agreements. The federal policy of settling labor disputes by arbitration would be undermined if courts had the final say on the merits of the awards."
In that case, United Steelworkers of America v. Enterprise Wheel and Car Corp., Justice Stephen O. Douglas wrote "an arbitrator is confined to interpretation and application of the collective bargaining agreement; he does not sit to dispense his own brand of industrial justice."
That case was cited by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 1976 when it refused a request by MLB to vacate the decision by arbitrator Peter Seitz overturning baseball's reserve clause in the Andy Messersmith-Dave McNally case.

I recently bought this jacket for my boyfriend for Christmas. He has worn it nonstop. This being his first "GOOD" winter coat, he was so excited about the different layers and being able to use this for all weather. The outer layer is an excellent raincoat, the insulated inner layer looks great by itself for mildly cold days, and when doubled it's awesome for cold and windy days. Lightweight but perfectly warm :)

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - Arkansas State Police are investigating a hit-and-run vehicle collision.
According to police, the crash between a car and motorcycle occurred just after 1:00 a.m. Monday morning along I-40 at the 152 mile marker.
The motorcycle driver was found injured at the scene and taken to a Little Rock hospital. ASP did not release any information as tothe driver'scondition.
We're told state troopers believe the motorcycle was struck from the rear by a car traveling eastbound, causing the motorcycle driver to be thrown onto the windshield of the car.
Bill Sadler with theASP says the driver of the car left the scene of the crash, dragging the motorcycle along with it until it was freed from the car at the JFK exit.
Nathan Ray, the driver of the car, was located the same morning, and charged with aggravated assault and leaving the scene of a personal injury accident.

Trustees met Thursday to review reports from faculty and administration committees, as well as President Warrick Carter's "Blueprint for Action," a 92-page set of recommendations for revamping college operations ranging from admissions and academic programs to residence halls, said Vice President Warren Chapman, who was designated to head up a multi-year effort to implement the recommendations.
The Jazz Ensemble and CBMR were among the more high-profile programs at the South Loop arts school facing cuts under the Blueprint plan, which also would merge and realign academic departments, and even change how campus recycling is collected.
The Blueprint plan also mandates studies that will look at the college's long-standing "generous admissions" policy, under which nearly any applicant with a high school diploma or GED is admitted.
"This is a two-year process that's ahead of us," Chapman said Friday, pointing out changes to department names and areas of study would not change the paths to a degree for current students. "I don't think you'll see things happen en masse."
The ensemble and CBMR will see reductions in funding from the college, following suggestions in the Blueprint, but Chairman of the Board of Trustees Allen Turner noted that it was likely outside contributions could pick up the slack.
The Blueprint plan comes as Columbia faces enrollment declines after decades of growth that have seen the 122-year-old college go from near bankruptcy in the 1960s to a 2008 peak of more than 12,000 students.
Facing declining revenues as enrollment slipped almost 7 percent in recent years, Columbia has had to reallocate resources to keep tuition down, a problem faced by many public and private colleges.
"Our problems are not unique in higher education," Turner said Friday. "This college is taking a major step. No other college that I'm aware of is taking a bottom-up approach, looking at every function, the way we have."

Tessandra Chavez, Unity Dance Ensemble — fusion of jazz, hip-hop, modern
At Celebrate Dance: "We're opening to a DJ Shadow song. … He says, 'It's not me creating the art; the music is coming through me.' I love it, and I think it's so true."
The love: "There's a sort of rush when you're in your element and you're in the zone, creating and working with dancers."
Kim T. Davis, Nickerson-Rossi Dance (Long Beach) — modern
At Celebrate Dance: A duet "about two people and the vulnerability they may experience through some kind of crisis."

At Celebrate Dance: The group includes Maldonado's daughter.
The love: "Dance is a way that I express or I find a meaning about my existence in the world."
Rita Tanner, Shangri-La Dance Company — Latin and ballroom

Rep. Fleming won't run for Senate against Landrieu
Republican U.S. Rep. John Fleming said Thursday that he won't enter the U.S. Senate race against Democratic incumbent Mary Landrieu because he doesn't want to divide GOP support.
Fleming's announcement comes after Republican U.S. Rep. Bill Cassidy jumped into the race this week. Fleming, in his third term representing northwest Louisiana, said his top priority is ousting Landrieu and he didn't want to threaten the ability to defeat her next year.
"For me to enter the race now would risk a contest between two experienced Republican congressmen, potentially offering Sen. Landrieu a path back to Washington. I can't let that happen," Fleming said in a statement.
His decision appears to start solidifying Republican support behind Cassidy, a Baton Rouge doctor who was elected to Congress in 2008, even as other GOP contenders have been eyeing the November 2014 race.
Fleming called Cassidy a friend who "offers Louisiana's voters a Republican alternative necessary in 2014 to replace a big-government Washington liberal."
Republican U.S. Sen. David Vitter stopped short of a Cassidy endorsement Thursday, but he issued a statement saying Fleming's decision "makes it clear that Bill Cassidy will be the single major conservative challenging Mary Landrieu."
Landrieu, a moderate Democrat who won 52 percent of the vote in 2008, has been considered vulnerable each time she's been up for re-election because Louisiana is a red state in national elections. Last year, Republican Mitt Romney defeated Obama in Louisiana by 17 percentage points.
"Mary Landrieu needs to be replaced in 2014. Her record is abysmal. She's turned her back on Louisiana values and become a full-fledged devotee of the Obama agenda," said Fleming, a doctor and businessman from Minden.
Landrieu hasn't commented on Cassidy's entrance into the race. Landrieu has said that her record is very different than the president's and that people should judge her on her own performance.
Other Republicans who have said they have no intention to run for Senate after being previously mentioned as possible candidates include Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne and U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany of Lafayette.
Yet to announce his decision is Jeff Landry, a former congressman from New Iberia who lost his seat when the state's congressional delegation shrank after the most recent U.S. census.

There is no magic formula as to what constitutes a good managerial decision or a bad one. Fans just pick and choose what they think is the "right time" to make a change, and thus somehow they treat it as gospel that if a manager doesn't follow their hunch, it was the "wrong" choice.
And then when it goes right, they don't give the manager credit. When it goes wrong, it's thereby proof that the manager was wrong.
It's circular logic at its worst.

U.S. Jobs Gained and Lost through Trade: A Net Measure
|August 2005 Volume 11, Number 8
|JEL classification: E2, F2
Authors: Erica L. Groshen, Bart Hobijn, and Margaret M. McConnell
Recent concerns about the transfer of U.S. services jobs to overseas workers have deepened long-standing fears about the effects of trade on the domestic labor market. But a balanced view of the impact of trade requires that we consider jobs created through the production of U.S. exports as well as jobs lost to imports. A new measure of the jobs gained and lost in international trade flows suggests that the net number of U.S. jobs lost is relatively small—2.4 percent of total U.S. employment as of 2003.

Dec 11, 2013Ultimately, no matter how heated the exchanges between Martyn and his fans could be during concerts, the respect between audience and performer was total and it was loyal--the same punters who would complain the loudest would be at the very next show. It is for these people, those who knew his true worth as an artist who The Island Years was created for and will appeal to most.
Oct 4, 2013All told, The Island Years contains an embarrassment of riches and must rank as amongst the most exhaustive and impressive undertakings of its kind; it's the kind of towering tribute Martyn's talents richly deserve. However, it's hard to figure out who it's intended for exactly.

Hi, everyone –
This is the start of a national debate. Across the country, we're having a serious discussion about how we can build a fair and effective immigration system that lives up to our heritage as a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants.
And we need your help to make sure that genuine, personal perspectives are part of the conversation. The truth is, that if we go back far enough, nearly every American story begins somewhere else — so often with ancestors setting out in search of a different life, carving out a future for their children in this place that all of us now call home.
We want to make sure that idea isn't far from the minds of policymakers here in Washington as we work to reach an agreement to reform immigration.
To kick things off, one of the President's senior advisors sat down to share his story with you.
Watch David Simas tell his American story, then tell us yours.
When Americans from all over the country — each with different backgrounds, each from different circumstances — all speak out with the same voice, it's powerful in a way that's hard to ignore. We've seen it again and again, in debate after debate.
And this is the kind of issue where putting a face on the push for reform takes an abstract concept and makes it real. So share your American stories with us, and we'll put them to use.
We'll publish them on the White House website. We'll share them on Facebook and Twitter. We'll do everything we can to make sure they're part of the debate around immigration reform.
Get started here:

Rowing - Archives 2015
For the first time in program history, the University of Texas received a team invitation to the NCAA Rowing Championships.
Texas won all five races to claim the 2015 Big 12 Rowing Championship as well as the Conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Championship.
Four teams advanced to the Grand Final of all five races after the preliminary round of the Big 12 Rowing Championship on Melton Hill Lake.
A total of 172 student-athletes have been named to the 2015 Academic All-Big 12 Rowing Team.
The perk of attending an in-state school is the luxury of being close to home. For senior and varsity member of the Kansas State Women's Rowing team, Brittany Long from Sanger, California, hasn't had the bonus of being able to drive home in just a few hours. She has adjusted to quite a bit since moving to Kansas prior to her junior year. Long is the only team member from out of state.
Looking back on one's childhood, most adults knew what they wanted to be when they grew up. For some this turned out to be true, for others new passions opened up doors unimaginable. Kansas sophomore Katherine Young is getting to experience both.
Texas' Second Varsity Eight has been recognized as the Big 12's Boat of the Week for competition through April 20-27.
Texas' Varsity 8+ has been recognized as the Big 12's Boat of the Week for competition for competition April 13-19.
Kansas' First Varsity Eight has been recognized as the Big 12's Boat of the Week for competition for competition April 6-12.
It's an age-old story. A high school senior signs a letter of intent to a collegiate athletic program. The next year, she continues her career in a sport of her choice.
Texas' 2nd varsity eight boat has been named the Big 12 Boat of the Week for competition from March 22-29.
Texas architecture student Jessica Glennie, a member of UT's varsity women's rowing program, has been awarded a Rhodes Scholarship, one of the most prestigious graduate scholarships in the world.

Suba, Cudala rule Sorteo GP
More News from Raymond Cudala, VJ Suba
REIGNING Karter of the Year VJ Suba and Raymond Cudala dominated their respective divisions in the recent Sorteo Grand Prix 2013 Coca-Cola KF2-KF3 Cup Series at Carmona Racetrack.
Suba topped three of the four races in the KF2 division while Cudala, 13, debuted impressively in KF3 by similarly racking up three wins.
The KF2 race pitted former teammates Suba and defending champion Milo Rivera.
The 16-year-old Rivera drew first blood as he squeaked past Suba by just 0.110 of a second in Race 1. Estefano Rivera placed third.
But Suba bounced back strong as he thwarted the Rivera brothers in Race 2 and reasserted his supremacy in Race 3 over Milo Rivera and Daniel Miranda.
In the 10th lap of Race 4, Milo Rivera suffered engine trouble while KF2 first-timer Miranda stayed close behind Suba and almost wrested the lead.
However, Miranda also suffered engine malfunction with just a lap to go, allowing Suba to romp to his third straight triumph, this time over Japanese Yuta Tan and Bobby Domingo.
Cudala, a strong contender for the Junior Karter of the Year award, beat last year's Formula SL Expert champion Jaz Monzones in the first three races.
Monzones recovered in Race 4 where he foiled Cudala's bid for a four-race sweep. Steve Silva, Contributor

Wage theft can mean many different things. There are cases where employers garnish their workers' wages…take a little off the top. Sometimes workers are told not to clock in until after their shift starts. The most egregious is when employers don't pay their workers minimum wage or overtime.
Seventy-seven percent of restaurant workers in New York City don't get paid overtime wages, according to a study by the National Employment Law Project Undocumented women are hurt the most. Almost half don't get paid the minimum wage, and 90% report not getting paid over time.
This is the story of two Latina New Yorkers fighting to get the money they are owed.
Camilo Vargas contributed reporting for this piece.
Note: Maria Hinojosa introduces this report by saying working more than 8 hours per day is illegal. This assumes a five day work week, adding up to 40 hours per week.

Markets and Dichotomies
By: Briony Davies
Despite global personal care product sales almost hitting the $100 billion mark in 2006, the segment is often considered to be a drag on the overall global beauty products market—posting value growth of 27% between 2001 and 2006 compared to the 30% achieved by the larger, more lucrative cosmetics categories. However, a closer look reveals that personal care is dichotomized with large but slow-moving commoditized sectors, such as bath and shower and oral hygiene, and the smaller, more dynamic emerging areas of baby care, men's grooming and sun care. Euromonitor International provides insight into key drivers of each of the most significant personal care categories and recommends future strategies for maximizing opportunities and avoiding possible barriers to success.

Leadership Gets Dousing In Tontitown
Posted: April 29, 2014 at 5 a.m.
When the voters of a community elect leaders through the democratic process, it's fair to assume they're selecting candidates they believe to be best skilled for moving their community in the right direction.
What's The Point?
Municipal leaders in Tontitown are failing to build public confidence in top-quality fire protection for the town's residents and businesses.

The virus re-writes the person's genes, giving them special powers. Everyone infected with the virus had a different talent, and they had different ways to initiate these talents. For example, one might have to yell out a key word, jump three times, then they would start flying. Each person had a completely different power, but everyone infected had two things in common. Their powers were all incredibly powerful. Instead of in books and movies, where they had telekinesis and could only lift things smaller than a king size bed, they had the ability to lift houses and planes. The second thing the had in common, was that they only live to the age of 21.
The virus got passed down from generation to generation, and now it is 2012. approximately 23% of people on Earth are infected by the virus, but 1% of people are aware that they have the virus and know how to use their power. The government are aware of the infection, but they aren't doing anything about it. As far as we know.
This role play is going to be set in the fictional city of Haleyton, very closely resembling New York City. You are going to be a victim of the virus, thus giving you extreme power. Are you going to use it for malicious purposes, or fight crime, maybe? Your choice.
Yes, I know this is very unrealistic, but apart from the fact you have super powers, I'm trying to make this realistic as possible. So you can't go around killing people willy nilly. Your character is going to have a conscious, and if the kill someone it will haunt them. And if you do kill someone, the police will try to catch you. They won't stop trying to find you after five minutes.
Now for the fun part, RULES
1.At least five lines each post.
2.I know having the weakest character in this whole roleplay is like god-modding, but no going and destroying the whole city. That is a no-no. You can blow up a small building, but nothing too drastic. I will decide what is god modding. If you do, I'll ask you to delete your post, and I'll tell everyone participating that everything in your post never happened.
3.Don't interact with anyone elses character in any way without their approval.
4.Only one talent, and you MUST specify how to initiate the talent, eg. one might have to yell out a key word, jump three times, then they would start flying.
Username: Your username
Name: First and Last
Age: 20 or less
Gender: Male or Female
Appearence: Writen or Picture
Talent/power: Only one talent, and you MUST specify how to initiate the talent, eg. one might have to yell out a key word, jump three times, then they would start flying. Also, be creative. As I specified earlier, all talents are EXTREMELY POWERFUL.
History: No 'I don't know'
Other: Anthing else.

Mar 26, 12 at 9:41pm ^re: Kid Hero - C-D - PM - T-M - STARTED
Username: Palopel
Name: Andrew Farley
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearence: Andrew is quite an attractive guy, with short dark brown hair, normally spiked up a bit with gel. He wears glasses with rectangle lenses. He is a little bit shorter than the typical 17 year old. Andrew isn't a big built person, but he certainly isn't skinny. He normally wears a plain white t-shirt with red skinny jeans.
Talent/power: He can blow up anything he wants. All he has to do is point at the thing he wants to blow up, and say 'boom'.
History: Andrew was born in the town the virus was first found, but he later moved with his family to Haleyton. He found his talent when he was 12, looking out the window and he put his hand in the gun position, pointing at a plane and saying 'boom'. The plane blew up, and ended up crashing down the street from his house. The plane slid down the street, and plowed straight into his three storied house, completely destroying it. As far as he knew, he was the only survivor. He then ran away and was living on the streets for the rest of his life.
Username: Neopets
Name: Elsavor Drai
Age: Nineteen
Gender: Male
Talent/power: Once human flesh and blood has past his lips, he's overcome with extreme agility, effortlessly fast reflexes and heightened senses, much like the mythological Wendigos of Native America. For these "powers" to stay, however, he must dine on human at least once every second week.
History: Born on February 23rd 1993 as an unplanned child, Elsavor always felt lesser than his siblings. His parents are extremely religious and follow their Church with vehement faith, so it was more than predictable when his mother revealed she chose to go through with her final pregnancy because she felt the Lord meant for it to happen. This took great affect on Elsavor throughout his early years, although he was never teased or taunted by anyone but himself.
At age six, his father began to smuggle 24 packs of (rather shitty) beer home from his job at the local Supermarket. Elsavor, knowing that alcohol is something forbade by both his mother and pastor, threatened to tell his mother how his father had sinned. In apathetic response, his father tossed a beer to him and patted the cushion on the couch next to him - a clear invitation to join. Surprised and feeling genuinely giddy as his father hardly ever acknowledged the broken-condom baby, Elsavor dropped his previous threat, pulled himself up on the couch and cracked the beer. This is a (if not the) major cause behind his current alcoholism.
At age eight, his father was caught stealing from the Supermarket's stock and was, consequently, fired. His mother was enraged, often sitting her four children down to lecture her children on "divorce" and how ungodly their father is, reminding them not to end up like the "vile he is". However, she refused to go out and get a job herself, and because they lived in a relatively small town where word spread quick, his father was having a difficult time finding another job. Elsavor and his already-thin brothers and sister quickly became emaciated. Embarrassed, his mother bundled them in thick clothing to give them the appearance of normal-sized children. Their neighbors, classmates and teachers never suspected a thing. By the end of the year, their savings had run dry and his older brother was forced to get two jobs to support the starving family.
At age thirteen, his father surprised his family with the announcement of a camping trip - something Elsavor had pleaded and longed for since he was a toddler. Because it was late fall, they took a week to prepare; picking the perfect three-days, gathering the tools necessary to "live off the land" ("If we're going to camp, we're going to do it like my brother once taught me. We eat only what we catch and find, we sleep only in the shelters we make, we cook only with the tools we design. Three days isn't that bad, it'll be fun!").
However, five days into their three-day trip, Elsavor began to suspect that they were lost. He was proven correct a week later, when his mother finally admitted to the family that their father couldn't find the way out and that they would have to stay put until rescue came.
In the first week of spring, now fourteen-year-old Elsavor returned to the small town of Trnava. Alone, well-fed. Surprisingly aware of his surroundings, oriented, jumpy, well past any state of shock he may have experienced. After careful examination by doctors, he was moved across town to live with his aunt, Ambroz Drai. Whom he still lives with today.
Other: He kills and ingests only those he thinks deserve the treatment - sinners. Lived in Slovakia with his aunt, but recently moved to Haleyton.
Username: Maria10is10
Name: Kerri Rocha (care-ee rock-uh)
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Personality: Quiet, Thoughtful, Smart, Slow to Trust, Semi-Shy
Talent/Power: Kerri can possess any animal. She does this by clapping once, looking at the animal, and saying its name. Her body then dissolves and she enters that animal. i.e., she claps, looks at a mouse, and says "Mouse". She then turns into the mouse that she was looking at. To turn back, she simply imagines herself as a human again.
History: Kerri never thought she was anything special. She was constantly the background character, an extra. Other kids took her spotlight, and she let them. She has an older sister and an older brother, and both of them overshadow her completely. Her parents are aware of her presence and try to talk to her, but she prefers to be alone. However, she does have friends.. They're just all animals. And they can't talk to her.
When Kerri was seven, she was outside in the forest, and a deer was in front of her. Excited to have an animal this close to her, she clapped her hands and said, "Deer!" She instantly turned into the deer, which startled her quite a bit. For a week, she stayed as the deer, because she didn't know how to turn back into a human. Finally, she decided to imagine her old life and how it used to be. While doing that, she imagined herself as a human, and she turned back. She was overjoyed, and she quickly ran home. When she returned, she expected her parents to hug her and be happy. She paused outside of the door, thinking of how to explain her wonderful new power. But, unfortunately, Kerri overheard her father say, "Yes, she's gone, no worries." She instantly assumed that "she" meant Kerri, and her heart almost stopped. Fighting back tears, Kerri ran away from home and lived in an abandoned shack for five years, until she was twelve. Then, a policeman found her and took pity on her. Kerri currently lives with Officer Sam (35 years), who allows her to stay in his house. When Kerri turned thirteen, she asked Sam where her siblings and parents were. He told her that her parents died on a cruise to Alaska (wherever that is), and her siblings were staying with her Auntie Rebecca. Although Sam offered to take Kerri to see her siblings, she politely refused. He has never questioned how she lived for five years in the woods, nor has he questioned why she enjoys the forest so much. Sam isn't exactly like a father to Kerri... More like a very close friend. She hasn't told him about her power, which she has now mastered. Now, Kerri can even turn into humans. However, she only did this once. Kerri had turned into a guy named Fred, who left the town shortly thereafter. Kerri hasn't attempted to transform into a human since then.
Other: Kerri's favorite colors are red and blue. She prefers not to transform into a human if she can help it. She does not attend any school, but prefers to spend her time outdoors. Her favorite animal to turn into is a bird, specifically a bluejay. She spends her days in the forest and her nights at Sam's house. She rarely sees Sam during the day, but neither of them mind. It's just easier that way.

Fires in Central Canada
July 31, 2008
According to the July 23 report from the Canadian Forest Service, fire activity in the third week of July 2008 was near average. The number of fires was "typical," and the area burned was just slightly above average. Nevertheless, fire danger was extreme in parts of the country, including across a swath of land stretching northeast from southern British Columbia to the Great Slave Lake region in the Northwest Territories (top).
This natural-color satellite image from the MODIS on NASA's Aqua satellite shows Great Slave Lake (upper left corner) and neighboring parts of Alberta (lower left) and Saskatchewan (lower center) on July 26, 2008. Numerous large fires (marked in red) billow clouds of gray-brown smoke.

|Somali State Failure: Players, Incentives and Institutions

|Hanken School of Economics, Department of Economics, Economics

|Doctoral thesis
|Belongs to series:
|Economics and Society - 212
|In Somalia the central government collapsed in 1991 and since then state failure became a widespread phenomenon and one of the greatest political and humanitarian problems facing the world in this century. Thus, the main objective of this research is to answer the following question: What went wrong?
Most of the existing literature on the political economy of conflict starts from the assumption that state in Africa is predatory by nature. Unlike these studies, the present research, although it uses predation theory, starts from the social contract approach of state definition. Therefore, rather than contemplating actions and policies of the rulers alone, this approach allows us to deliberately bring the role of the society – as citizens – and other players into the analyses.
In Chapter 1, after introducing the study, a simple principal-agent model will be developed to check the logical consistence of the argument and to make the identification of causal mechanism easier. I also identify three main actors in the process of state failure in Somalia: the Somali state, Somali society and the superpowers. In Chapter 2, so as to understand the incentives, preferences and constraints of each player in the state failure game, I in some depth analyse the evolution and structure of three central informal institutions: identity based patronage system of leadership, political tribalism, and the Cold War. These three institutions are considered as the rules of the game in the Somali state failure.
Chapter 3 summarises the successive civilian governments' achievements and failures (1960-69) concerning the main national goals, national unification and socio-economic development. Chapter 4 shows that the military regime, although it assumed power through extralegal means, served to some extent the developmental interest of the citizens in the first five years of its rule. Chapter 5 shows the process, and the factors involved, of the military regime's self-transformation from being an agent for the developmental interests of the society to a predatory state that not only undermines the interests of the society but that also destroys the state itself. Chapter 6 addresses the process of disintegration of the post-colonial state of Somalia. The chapter shows how the regime's merciless reactions to political ventures by power-seeking opposition leaders shattered the entire country and wrecked the state institutions. Chapter 7 concludes the study by summarising the main findings: due to the incentive structures generated by the informal institutions, the formal state institutions fell apart.

Letters to the Editor
Juanita Boutin writes to say that the 35 percent turnout for the special alderman election wasn't impressive and to urge voters to cast ballots if for no other reason than to honor those who died to give us that right, while Telisha Dionne Bailey writes to ask for help with her doctoral dissertation about women and the Parchman prison. (February 16, 2012, Page 4)
More barriers at polls lead to fewer voters
The more people that vote, the better our democratic form of government works, right? Why then, News Editor Jonathan Scott asks, would we want to approve Initiative 27 which would make it more difficult for a number of voters across the state of Mississippi? Scott takes a look at the proposal and offers a suggestion if the measure passes next month. (October 28, 2011, Page 4A)
How do you pick your answers, candidates?
When picking an answer on a quiz or voting in an election, did you realize you're more likely to pick the first option if you're not very sure about which to pick? Editor Don Whitten takes a look at that slight edge and its effect on elections. (October 12, 2011, Page 4)
In local elections, every single vote does count
Think your vote doesn't matter? Not so, says Staff Writer Alyssa Schnugg as she points out the close local races decided by less than 50 votes and one in Yalobusha County decided by eight votes. (August 25, 2011, Page 4)
Races to be decided Tuesday
Voters will decide Tuesday who will be Lafayette County's new tax assessor/collector during the runoff election. There are a total of four local races on the ballot. Voters will also finish choosing the Democratic nominee for governor and the Republican nominee for state treasurer. (August 22, 2011, Page 1A)
Some races may be decided Tuesday
Several county races may be decided Tuesday during the primary election. Circuit Court Clerk Mary Alice Busby said her office has been busy leading up to the primary and hopes for at least a 40-percent voter turnout. (August 1, 2011, Page 1A)
Having to pick a line upsets some of us
The closer it gets to voting on Aug. 2, the madder some folks get about the limitations of Mississippi's primary voting rules. Editor Don Whitten is among those voters, and he points out that he'd like to vote for people on both the Democratic and Republican tickets but is going to have to decide which one to pick. (July 25, 2011, Page 4)
Clearing up some election misinformation
With the August primaries less than two weeks away, it's time for people to start deciding who they will cast ballots for. Editor Don Whitten reminds readers about the importance of voting while also taking on a few bits of misinformation or misunderstandings that some voters might have about their votes. (July 20, 2011, Page 4A)
More visitors? It's election season, of course
If your door bell rings or you hear a knock these days, it's as likely to be a candidate looking for your vote and support as anyone. With election season in full swing, Editor Don Whitten reminds everyone to get registered and to learn the ins and outs of voting in primaries coming up in early August. (June 27, 2011, Page 4)
Runoff election to decide transit position
While State Rep. Warner McBride took the majority of Lafayette County's votes in Tuesday's special election, it wasn't enough to push him into a runoff for the seat of Northern District Transportation Commissioner.
Of the 1,718 votes cast locally Tuesday, Warner earned 937 votes. However, when the votes were counted from all the other counties in the district, it was candidates John Caldwell of DeSoto County and Mike Tagert of Starkville who both won 21 percent of the total votes, pushing them into a runoff election on Feb. 1 (January 12, 2011, Page 1A)

Raichur Health Department yet to confirm cause of deaths
Many in village have been suffering from high feverMeasures initiated to contain spread of disease
RAICHUR: Seven persons, including five children, have died of suspected malaria in the last fifteen days in K. Irabgera village of Deodurga in the district, according to reports reaching here on Sunday.
Gopalakrishna, an 18-month-old boy, and Bheemambika, a four-year-old girl, died of suspected malaria on Thursday and Friday respectively.
According to sources, five persons, including three children, died last week. While the District Health and Family Welfare Department here has not confirmed the cause of these deaths, suspicions that they may have been due to malaria have been raised as many people in the village have been suffering from high fever over the last few days.
District Health and Family Welfare Officer H.S. Hiregoudar, who has been camping at the village since Saturday, told The Hindu here on Sunday that preliminary investigations seemed to indicate that diseases other than malaria had been responsible for the deaths. The department has referred the cases to the Department of Virology, Bangalore, for further investigations.
Mr. Hiregoudar said that the department had tested blood samples of 580 people suspected of having been affected by malaria, and 121 had tested positive. It had taken up fogging in the village and distributed mosquito nets to the people. A team of specialists, including two para-medical teams, had camped in the village to treat suspected cases.
Minister in charge of the district Alkod Hanumanthappa, who visited the village on Sunday, has asked officials to take all precautionary measures to contain the spread of the disease in the village, and to initiate action to shift those affected to the Rajiv Gandhi Superspeciality Hospital here.
