They don't come any tougher than Dielman
Undrafted and cut at the end of the 2003 training camp, Dielman was signed to the practice squad the first week of that season. That was also the first time he was told he should report to the offensive line meeting room.
By the third game of the 2005 season, he was starting the first of what would be 104 of the Chargers' next 107 games at left guard.
The dude who slept on an air mattress in a Mission Valley apartment his rookie year and then rented a room from teammate Mike Goff, signed a contract prior before the 2007 season that paid him an average of $6.5 million a year.
He built a beautiful home around that time, but he never stopped flying coach.
This is a man who worked for what he got and protected it fiercely.
The first time he saw me after I wrote he was considering retirement back in December, I felt safe only because there were witnesses. He leaned in close and said things I hope my daughter never hears. There was a rage I'd seen in a human being before -- but only when I watched Dielman playing.
When we next spoke face-to-face -- or rather, when I listened to him -- a few weeks later in a Detroit hotel, he was calmer. But he absolutely thought I was wrong to have written what I did. Dielman said everything I wrote was correct, but explained (as if I hadn't learned that over the course of seven years) that he is a private dude and didn't like having his business out in public.
I told him he was a professional football player -- and a really good one -- and it would have been irresponsible for me to not have written that he was mulling never playing again.
He still didn't care and gave me some more of his thoughts.
Then he started to walk away, stopped and held out his hand.
"We'll have to talk about it over beers and shots when this is all over," he said.
Now it's over. And Kris Dielman's life is just beginning.

Upon its release, T.I. vs. T.I.P. received mixed reviews from music critics. Where critics stated a fall-off of some degree had to be expected especially after reaching the top after a steady climb, also stating that the album operates on the thin and dubious concept that T.I. the businessman and T.I.P. the unreformed hustler are two completely different entities, and that the strain of balancing the two personas is enough to tear Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. apart. T.I. vs. T.I.P. was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rap Album,[3] losing to Kanye West's Graduation at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards[4] The album won the American Music Award for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album at The American Music Awards of 2007.

Shortly after the release, and major success of 2006's both his big screen acting debut film ATL and his critically acclaimed fourth studio album King, T.I.'s friend, personal assistant and an employee of his Grand Hustle Records, Philant Johnson was shot dead after a nightclub brawl between T.I.'s entourage and some Cincinnati thugs. After Johnson's death, T.I. mentioned that the business of rapping no longer felt good and admitted that he was seriously considering quitting music altogether.[5][6]
On March 19, 2007 Sunday night via phone from Atlanta with MTV News, T.I. revealed some of the album's collaborators. T.I. stated that he was anticipating going in recording with Eminem. He also stated that he and Eminem had a hot concept that they spoke about over the phone. T.I. stated "It's gonna be on some real creative shit. JT, Justin Timberlake, we're just waiting on the proper song to get him on my album as well." That's just the beginning, the two-time Grammy Award winner said that he had about 60 songs in the can and will once again be working right up to the deadline to turn the album in. T.I. stated that he was working with everybody who he have an opportunity to work with, he added, He confirmed that he was working with Timbaland working with Danja Timbaland protégé Nate Hills on that same day. Scott Storch, Mannie Fresh, and he stated that Wyclef Jean came through with some real worldly music and great vocals. Nelly, Lil Wayne, R. Kelly. T.I. stated that he reached out to R&B singer Ciara.
He confirmed that Akon did his thing for him. A lot of the Grand Hustle Records producers including Kevin "Khao" Cates, Black Mob. T.I. confirmed that Just Blaze, did a song called 'Help Is Coming.' T.I. stated that the song was basically talking about how they say the industry is suffering. Well, help is on the way. Fret not." T.I. vs. T.I.P. is undoubtedly the film/mic star's most conceptual album to date. T.I. is the persona we hear in songs like "My Love" and "Why You Wanna". T.I.P., on the other hand, takes care of the much more gutter material like "Bring Em Out" and "You Don't Know Me". T.I. stated that the LP would give you doses of T.I. and T.I.P. solo records as well as the two collaborating on the same track. There will be interlude's throughout the LP, telling a story — and don't be surprised if more than one single from the project is released at once. T.I. stated "I'm not just making an album, I'm making f---in' opera here," he chuckled. With such a high concept, he says that he's making sure to take extra time and critique every song to be sure he doesn't lose anyone, it'd be easy for me to go over people's heads," he rationalized. "Sometime people might see me act a certain way one time and another way one another time. They might not believe the same cat you see dressed so sharp and winning awards and speaking eloquently is the same cat you see fist-fighting with hoodlums outside a nightclub. This album will be an explanation of all of this" he states.[7]
On April 12, 2007 T.I. stated that he was just about done with his T.I. vs. T.I.P. album. He's stated already that he recorded with Eminem, Nelly and Ciara among other guest stars, and the first single is ready to hit radio, officially debuting April 17, 2007 the song is another collaboration for the King of the South and Mannie Fresh and was called "Big Things Poppin' " — the clean version of the record, anyway. T.I. stated "Big Shit Poppin' is really just him talking to these people who say things and can't back it up," T.I. said, referring to the song's title as it will probably appear on the album. Mannie Fresh stated that him and T.I. clique up and the songs are magic, who's was in Atlanta working on a bunch of LPs that T.I. was overseeing, like B.G.'s new album. T.I.P. even has co-production credit on "Big Things Poppin'". The songs we're doing for his album are definitely right, yes indeed Mannie Fresh added. The beat Mannie Fresh and his accomplice came up with is another energetic brouhaha in step with some of their proven street ditties such as "Top Back".[8] One of the more recent sessions he held for the album was with Eminem, someone who has his own dual-identity issues. T.I. stated that it was an experience, about working with Eminem. T.I. also stated that Eminem is probably one of the most lyrical cats in the game right now. T.I. stated being known as one of the most lyrical cats in the game, he stated that he had to get himself up. also stating He lived up to all his expectations. He's a rappin' fool. T.I. stated that Eminem made him step his game up. T.I. stated that he did three records with Eminem. T.I. said that he did one for him. You know how Marshall Mathers and Slim Shady have their beefs? Well on that song, T.I. is trying to tell Marshall how to deal with Slim based on how he deals with Tip. Then Tip butts in, like, 'You can't tell nobody nothing.' Then Em comes in and tells me, 'Who are you to tell me anything?' I was like, 'I'm just trying to help, homie, T.I. added. Their other two collaborations could end up on T.I. vs. T.I.P., including a song called "Touchdown".[9]
T.I. also stated it's out of Eminem's norm, if Eminem has a norm," T.I. said of the track. T.I. stated it's a record you wouldn't expect to hear him on, kinda like how you heard him on 'Smack That' for Akon or [Em's] 'Shake That' with Nate Dogg. You'll be like, 'OK, he's switching it up.' ['Touchdown' is] basically [him] talking about when you touch down in everybody's city, what you do. Hit the mall, buy a car or leave the club with all the girls. We have yet to finish that one. T.I. stated the one we finished is 'Whatever You Want It to Be,' " he added. "It's saying, 'I'm a man, if I ain't nothing else. Before I'm a rapper, before I'm anything else, I'm a man. If you don't respect that, it can be whatever you want it to be.' The producer Tip went the most in-depth with for this project, however, was — of all people — Wyclef Jean. It has yet to be determined if all their records will make the cut, but two front-runners are "Swagger" and "U Know What It Is". T.I. stated that you can quote me," Tip burst out with a grin. " 'U Know What It Is' will tear the clubs up this summer." T.I. stated that him and Wyclef got together over a weekend," he explained about the collaborations. "We wasn't on each other's itinerary to work with each other. He hit me one day when I was in L.A. and was like, 'I gotta come to Atlanta. You got anywhere I can record?, T.I. graciously turned over the main room in his studio and it was on from there. T.I. came home about a day into Wyclef's sessions and immediately started snatching up tracks for himself. T.I. stated he started pulling up beats and he was like, 'Who is that for?' He said, 'You, if you want it.' We wound up knocking seven songs from Friday to Monday. It's just us having a good time. We just bonded, T.I. added.
Show It 2 Me," which features Nelly, sounds like it could easily be a sequel to their previous teaming on Urban Legend's "Get Loose." The two go back and forth at points and Nelly uses an old-school flow like UTFO on "Roxanne Roxanne." Lil Wayne appears on "Yeah" and drops lines such as, "I'm flyer than a vampire. T.I. also stated Andre 3000 could also possibly check in, on a song called "Life of the Party." On that track, Tip talks about maturity, why he's now "too grown to be the life of the party," and how he has no time to argue with bouncers, overzealous fans or pestering playa haters.[9] On May 16, 2007 T.I. stated that he was putting the final touches on his forthcoming personality-splitting project, T.I. vs. T.I.P.[10]
T.I. vs. T.I.P. is a concept LP on which the rapper uses both sides of himself — the suave, level-minded CEO and the 'hood-friendly former dope boy — to express his thoughts on everything from the Grammy Awards to sideways-talking bustas to making dough. Sometimes the two sides duel, and occasionally you'll catch them on the same track. More often than not, though, each personality gets his own song. "Big Shit Poppin'" showcases the Grammy winner rapping in his grittier T.I.P. persona. Dominated '06 and I'm going right back," he rhymes. T.I.P. also says he's "doing it" for his children, family and friends.[8] On March 1, 2007 T.I. stated that all the albums prior to this one, T.I.P. would work harder to make the album, T.I. would work harder to sell it," he said. On T.I. vs. T.I.P. — a conceptual LP about his life — they battle each other on six tracks. Another third of the project is dedicated solely to T.I. and the remainder goes to T.I.P. "This is my life, this is the struggle I had to go through to bring myself to release another album," said T.I., who lost both his newborn daughter and personal assistant within the last year. "After all the stuff I went through following the success of King, it took a lot to even muster the effort or even care enough about the world outside my circle to even care about doing another album. "All I did was take notes and record it along the way," T.I. reflected.[9]

Upon its release, T.I. vs. T.I.P. received mixed reviews from music critics. It holds a score of 61 out of 100 on Metacritic, indicating generally favorable reviews from critics.[32] AllMusic writer Andy Kellman gave the album a 3 out of 5 stars stating "the MC constructs an entire album around the penthouse and pavement concept, dividing the program into three acts: T.I.P. (seven tracks), T.I. (seven tracks), and T.I. vs T.I.P. (four tracks). This is also signified in the album's outer sleeve and booklet photos. After the sustained greatness through Trap Muzik, Urban Legend, and King, a fall-off of some degree had to be expected -- especially after reaching the top after a steady climb -- and that's exactly what happens. Though he undeniably remains one of the top MCs, T.I. tends to either reheat familiar material with less fire or tread dangerously close to unrelatable Kingdom Come-like "Look at who's obnoxiously shedding his underdog status!" routines (as on "My Swag"). The productions similarly do not match up to past successes, and even some of obvious choices for singles fall short of past tracks that were never thought to be released as singles. The album is generally enjoyable, and it's doubtful T.I. has to worry about being dethroned within the near future."[22] Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club stated "T.I.'s honey-dripping Southern drawl and outlaw swagger is irresistible in bite-sized doses, but it isn't enough to sustain an entire album. This holds true for his ambitious yet muddled new project, T.I. Vs. T.I.P, a three-act concept album that clocks in at just over 73 minutes. Sonically, the album has a frantic, indistinct busyness that all too often passes for excitement and momentum. The album's first third concentrates on T.I.P., the second on T.I., and the third on an epic battle between the rapper and his flamboyant alter ego. T.I.P. is ostensibly T.I.'s belligerent, untamed id, but in a blind taste test, nine out of 10 hip-hop heads would have difficulty telling them apart. In the grand hustling tradition of half-assed concept albums, Vs. boasts an overarching premise that's fuzzy to the point of meaninglessness until the climactic final confrontation. On Vs., one of the South's hottest rappers declares war with his dark side. Maybe next time he'll finally wage combat with a more worthwhile adversary, like bloated album lengths or the homogenizing effects of major-label politics."[23]
Neil Drumming of Entertainment Weekly stated "The Atlanta native breaks his fifth album, T.I. vs. T.I.P., into three acts depicting an ideological battle between split personae: the irascible thug T.I.P. and the nouveau-riche recording artist T.I. It ain't Shakespeare, but the dual protagonists make for an intriguing bout."[24] Tom Breihan of Pitchfork Media noted "T.I.'s new album, T.I. vs. T.I.P. operates on the thin and dubious concept that T.I. the businessman and T.I.P. the unreformed hustler are two completely different entities, and that the strain of balancing the two personas is enough to tear Clifford Joseph Harris Jr. apart. Apparently, those two sides aren't as indivisible as they once seemed. T.I. first explored this dichotomy on Trap Muzik's "T.I. vs. T.I.P.", crafting an argument that movingly dramatized his internal struggle. That struggle also serves as the concept for the new album: T.I.P. gets the first seven tracks, T.I. the next seven, and the two sides spend the last four songs hashing out their differences. It's an interesting conceit, but it doesn't really work as a hook for an entire album, and the record's exhaustingly long running time pushes the conceit far past the breaking point. For one thing, it's a pacing disaster; by lining up all his sugary for-the-ladies tracks in a row, T.I. leaves a long dead-streak in the second half of the album. For another, it plays against his strengths. His music works best when both sides of his personality are allowed to co-exist in the same track. When they're separated, they both sound emaciated and half-formed. And he never quite commits to the concept. If T.I. represents the rapper's pop half, why do the album's first two singles come from the T.I.P. section? If the album's final stretch is meant to unite both sides, why do they confront each other in song only once, on the second verse of "Respect My Hustle"? Even if the concept falls flat, though, T.I. vs. T.I.P. still warrants a listen, if only because T.I. seems constitutionally incapable of releasing an album full of uncompelling music. As a rapper, he's still a dominant voice; his slurry, guttural drawl is a great instrument, and always keeps it deep in the track's pocket, occasionally whipping out tricky double-time patterns or murmuring singsong melodies. The album is perhaps best heard in chunks; only a few of these songs wouldn't sound great on shuffle. Heard as a piece, though, the album's momentum sputters and dies more than once; after a few consecutive listens, T.I. sounds dour and joyless, like he's just punching the clock. T.I. vs. T.I.P. may be self-obsessed and self-indulgent, but maybe T.I. needed to make this album to keep himself interested. Let's hope he's gotten it out of his system."[26]
Colin McGuire of PopMatters states "Here, he overshadows any work he has previously done by keeping his Southern hip-hop roots intact while putting just enough attention on the hooks that one could easily find half of these songs that paint T.I. vs. T.I.P's canvas on your favorite Hot 100 radio station. And he does it better than he has ever been able to do it before. Harris has come a long way from initially snapping back as the rubber band man. And now, with another hip-hop masterpiece under his belt, maybe Cohen can have a laugh himself as well."[27] Ian Cohen of Stylus Magazine stated "The biggest failing of T.I. vs. T.I.P.: though his singles are obsessed with knowledge of self and others, during the span of a seemingly endless album that centers around an identity crisis, T.I. mostly fails to realize the difference between introspection and self-absorption. It's more of a hastily assembled construct grafted onto the persona of a generic trap star who doesn't seem capable of taking real artistic chances. In his mind, anyone who criticizes T.I. is "just another hater who's broke again," waiting for some backpacker epiphany that will never come, like Little Brother becoming commercially relevant or Freddie Foxxx coming out of hiding to lyrically knuckle this guy down. It's like T.I.'s been speaking in code to us all along: What you know about that? You know what it is. You don't know me. But you know what? After spending hours with T.I. vs. T.I.P. chasm-like emptiness, I can't see why anyone would care."[29] Nick Marx of Tiny Mix Tapes noted "After reaching his creative apex, is there a more predictable and plodding step down for an artist than a concept album? Did anyone even know (or care) that the two iterations of Clifford Harris' moniker represent, respectively, his business and street sides? T.I. vs T.I.P. is mercifully light on the requisite skits illustrating its dichotomy, but you almost wish there were more of them to explain the album's weird alchemy of simultaneously overwrought and undercooked production and flaccid, self-absorbed lyricism."[30] Brendan Frederick of XXL Magazine notes "Atlanta rapper Clifford Harris opened this old wound four years ago on "T.I. vs. T.I.P.," a highlight from his sophomore opus, Trap Muzik, where T.I.P., his reckless, shit-talking core, battled T.I., the consummate professional/smooth operator. After a tumultuous 2006 filled with highs (King solidified his place as one of hip-hop's illuminati) and lows (the senseless murder of his best friend), Tip re-examines his schizophrenic psyche on his fifth album, T.I. vs. T.I.P. Call it trap therapy. Hopefully, someday we'll find out what really makes T.I. tick."[31]
At the 50th Annual Grammy Awards, T.I. was nominated with a total of three nominations, including Grammy Award for Best Rap Album, Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance and Grammy Award for Best Rap Song for the single "Big Shit Poppin' (Do It)". The album won T.I. the American Music Award for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Album at The American Music Awards of 2007. T.I. also won the American Music Award for Favorite Rap/Hip-Hop Artist at The American Music Awards of 2007.

College graduates who show they are the best fit for a particular job will be hired despite lack of experience, career coach Ford. R. Myers says. Effective self-marketing, not experience, can give job seekers an advantage in a tight market, he adds. "Competition for top jobs is fiercer than ever as new college graduates compete with seasoned professionals for the best positions. It is important for these 'up-and-comers' to have 20/20 vision when it comes to seeing the truths about obtaining employment," Myers suggests.

Mexico: Brutal La Familia cartel chief killed
Mexican authorities believe La Familia operates "by means of an executive council" compromised of both drug traffickers and government officials, according to the DEA.
In 2009, the Calderon government arrested more than 30 Michoacan state and local officials, including 12 mayors, accusing them of protecting La Familia.
The highly touted sweep was meant to show no politicians are immune from prosecution. But the cases have since unraveled for lack of evidence in one of the biggest setbacks of Calderon's drug war. Only one of the officials - a former mayor - remains in prison.

If we were in the same room, I'd be willing to bet that you didn't know that November is National Diabetes Month. Why should you?
This event comes around every year at this time. I know about it only because public relations people write or call me to publicize something or other in connection with it.
Trying to get people to think about diabetes for one month of the year is not my idea of effective advocacy. I think about diabetes a lot more often than that, and I guess that you do too. Even if we thought about diabetes all year long, that would be awareness, not advocacy.
Some organizations that include the word "diabetes" in their names sponsor events that also include the word "cure." They talk a lot about curing this incurable disease, and they have good reason to talk the talk, while failing to walk the walk.
Here in Colorado you can pay a little extra and get a license plate that says, "JDRF: Improving Lives — Curing Type 1 Diabetes." If you live in Indiana, your car's license plate can read, "Stop Diabetes." Other states offer other license plates to bring more attention to diabetes and the organizations that talk about it.
Talking about curing diabetes raises money and awareness for these organizations to continue. This is fundraising, not advocacy. In fact, none of us who have diabetes are doing any advocacy well.

..and why Assassin was a bit overpowered last preview even before Factions.
Being overpowered is the way for many to love the class. And if you love the class you're going to buy expansion. "wow this class is great" is much better stimulans than "they are ok..." (for buying new chapter that is). That's the reason why Anet feels it's better to make class somewhat overpowered at first, and then before chapter is out, balance it.
I dont see any other reason. Let's face it, you cant miss how uber some of their builds are, especially considering Dervish is supposed to be better in pve. Well if they are this good in pvp atm, wow :P

Comparative Risk Aversion: A Formal Approach With Applications To Savings Behaviors
Date Added: Jan 2010
Format: PDF
The authors consider a formal approach to comparative risk aversion and apply it to intertemporal choice models. This allows asking whether standard classes of utility functions, such as those inspired by Kihlstrom and Mirman (1974), Selden (1978), Epstein and Zin (1989) and Quiggin (1982) are well-ordered in terms of risk aversion. Moreover, opting for this model-free approach allows establishing new general results on the impact of risk aversion on savings behaviors. In particular, they show that risk aversion enhances precautionary savings, clarifying the link that exists between the notions of prudence and risk aversion.

Timeshare condominium owners might fare better with the Lighthouse Inn going through bankruptcy instead of a foreclosure auction, but those who bought into the New London resort are not hopeful about getting back their money.
Two local bankruptcy attorneys, including David Falvey of Groton and another who didn't want to be named, said the involuntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing that stopped an auction of the Lighthouse Inn earlier this month might allow the resort's owners to pay off creditors and operate as a continuing business. If so, the attorneys said, timeshare owners might retain their rights to the weeks they were promised.
"Timeshare owners are better off if it continues," said the New London attorney who didn't want to be named because he has been consulted by a Lighthouse Inn principal. "It's pretty much in everyone's best interest. It's making the best of a bad situation."
Complicating the situation, however, is the fact that the two Lighthouse Inn creditors seeking its bankruptcy - Maureen Clark and Christopher Plummer, principals in the petitioning Lighthouse Group of Connecticut LLC - have left a slew of unpaid bills across southeastern Connecticut, according to foreclosure filings. And each has been arrested in recent months: Plummer on charges of not paying employees, and Clark on 39 counts of tax evasion.
Some attorneys said they believe the bankruptcy filing most likely means Clark and Plummer are seeking to line up another owner on their own, perhaps with the idea of retaining an ownership or management interest in the property. Both Clark as an individual and she and Plummer together in their limited-liability company have mortgages on the property.
Adding to the complicated legal situation is the fact that the Lighthouse Inn never filed deeds on behalf of timeshare owners. According to a records search at New London City Hall, only one timeshare owner, Barbara K. Levine of Boynton Beach, Fla., has a deed on file, which her attorney submitted last year only after her son, a Waterford resident, read an article in The Day indicating the resort's timeshare deeds had never been officially filed by Lighthouse Inn management.
"Not that it's going to do anything for us," Andy Levine said. "It's probably going to go away unless the new owner wants to be a good guy."
"We're the bottom of the food chain," said Sal Cardello of Gales Ferry, who along with his wife said he paid Lighthouse Inn Resort $13,000 for a one-week timeshare a few years ago. "If she sells it, we're still going to be out of luck."
Cardello said he doesn't believe new owners of the inn would have any obligation to honor the original 50-year timeshare agreement. He blames former inn operator Maureen Clark, whom he said sold him the condo and never filed any paperwork indicating his ownership of the timeshare.
"All we can do is possibly sue her," Cardello said.
A declaration of covenants and restrictions on file at City Hall indicates 48 units at the inn's mansion and carriage house were available for timeshares during 51 weeks a year, with the total timeshares adding up to 2,448 weeks. There is no indication how many weeks were sold.
The century-old Lighthouse Inn mansion became affiliated with RCI, a timeshare-exchange company that boasts more than 3 million members, in 2003. It earned billing as a Gold Crown Resort, RCI's highest designation, based on the quality and range of its offerings, which included an outdoor pool, nearby beach and banquet and restaurant facilities, though plans for a tennis court included in the declarations never came through.
Timeshare owners said they gradually became disenchanted with poor maintenance at the resort.
"We've gone by it over the summer, and it's just fallen apart," added Linda Cook of Uncasville, who bought a one-week timeshare with her husband, Joe.
The Cooks don't plan any legal action to recoup their Lighthouse Inn investment.
"We don't really want to spend any more money on it," Cook said. "We've just resigned ourselves to the fact we're out of money."

Indian court rules disputed India holy site split
LUCKNOW, India An Indian court ruled Thursday that a disputed holy site that has sparked bloody communal riots across the country in the past should be divided between the Hindu and Muslim communities.
However, the court gave the Hindu community control over the section where the now demolished Babri Mosque stood and where a small makeshift tent-shrine to the Hindu god Rama rests.
While both Muslim and Hindu lawyers vowed to appeal to the Supreme Court, the compromise ruling seemed unlikely to set off a new round of violence, as the government had feared.
Muslims revere the compound in Ayodhya as the former site of the 16th century mosque, while Hindus say it is the birthplace of Rama and contend that a temple to the god stood on the site before the mosque.
The Allahabad High Court ruled that the 64-acre (25-hectare) site should be split, with the Muslim community getting control of one-third and two Hindu groups splitting the remainder. The Hindus will keep the area where the mosque once stood, according to the court judgment.
The court said archaeological evidence showed a temple had predated the mosque.
"The majority ruled that the location of the makeshift temple is the birthplace of Rama, and this spot cannot be shifted," said Ravi Shankar Prasad, a lawyer for one of the Hindu groups who sued.
The court also ruled that the current status of the site should continue for the next three months to allow for the land to be peacefully measured and divided.
Zaffaryab Jilani, a lawyer for the Muslim community, said he would appeal the verdict, which could delay a final decision in the 60-year-old case for years.
"It's not a victory or defeat for any party. It's a step forward. We hope this matter will be resolved," he said.
H.S. Jain, one of the Hindu plaintiffs, said he also would appeal. "100 percent of the land belongs to Hindus. Why split it?" he said.
The conflict over the compound in Ayodhya, 350 miles (550 kilometers) east of New Delhi, has sparked violence between Hindus and Muslims that killed thousands of people and challenged India's ethos as a secular, multicultural democracy.
The government and the parties to the dispute had appealed for calm in the wake of the verdict. Leaving nothing to chance, the government flooded the streets with troops.
Police arrested more than 10,000 people to prevent them from inciting violence, while another 100,000 had to sign affidavits saying they would not cause trouble after the verdict, a top official said.
Helicopters hovered over holy sites in the state as people entering temples were checked with metal detectors, police said.
"We have deployed around 200,000 security personnel at sensitive places to prevent any violence post the Ayodhya verdict," top state official Shashank Shekhar Singh said.
The Babri Mosque, built in 1528 by the Mughal emperor Babur, was razed by Hindu hard-liners in 1992, setting off nationwide riots that killed 2,000 people.
Hindus want to build an enormous temple to Rama there, while Muslims want to rebuild the mosque. The ruling Thursday would almost certainly force both groups to scale down those plans.

Havana Club Selección de Maestros was opened for a special occasion, after sitting on my shelf for a month. Immediately detected caramel with oak, long aftertaste that did not deteriorate. Rather, the complex and mild sweetness, nuttiness and butter lingered for a long time. Although at 90 proof, sensed even less of an alcohol flavor and odor than 80 proof rums. I liked this more than Havana Club 7 Year, which is a great rum, too. Seleccion de Maestros gets a perfect score, highly recommend it to everyone. Note, this should not be mixed with anything. Its flavor is much too sublime to spoil with anything else.
22nd July 2014
Comparing to Havana Club 7y, this rum is so soft and full of rich taste. 45% alcohol does not take over. This is my top three favorite.
20th March 2014
aromas of barrel, coffee, tobacco,not particularly sweet.my 2 favorite after Havana Club 15.
27th January 2014
After recently visiting Cuba, I came across all the Havana Club range, which are all nice and get better with age. This bottle is amazing and the taste is unreal giving its 45%. Though quiet expensive I would highly recommend to anyone.
23rd December 2013
I had this great rum while staying in Germany a ta Penta Hotel and can tell you that to this date is the best rum I have ever tasted. I thought the 7 year Havana Club was the best............ we have a new winner!
20th August 2013
This really is an amazing bottle of rum. I do like the Havana range, and have the 3yo and 7yo variants at home too and this is one of my favourites! This isn't a simple rum to drink and shows a lot of complexity - so if you're a sugary rum fan (Zacapa, Zaya, etc) then stay away from this one!

Multi level cage
posted 7 years ago
As a ferret owner it's pretty ideal to have a cage with multi levels. There is the problem of keeping the cage REALLY clean since they will poop on EVERY level and the more crafty ones can push the door open if it's not in some form or fashion 'locked' with a clip or something else.
Especially ideal for mutliple ferrets which are most ferret owners! <3
Pros: Enough room for small critters to roam
Cons: They poop all over the cage and on the wires, have to be c areful when closing to have it 'locked' not just closed.

Local Laws May Trump State Pot Laws
The committee drafting Oregon's rules for medical marijuana dispensaries warned potential operators to check with their local government before investing too much time and money.
Medford and Tualatin have already banned dispensaries, and members of the committee said it will likely be up to the courts to decide whether those cities have that right.
Lincoln County District Attorney, and committee member, Rob Bovett says municipalities are likely to argue they have the right to ban businesses that violate federal drug laws.
The Oregon Legislature this summer approved a bill which allows medical marijuana users to purchase the drug from state-licensed dispensaries. The 13-person committee has been meeting since late September to write the rules governing the dispensaries.

The South Carolina House of Representatives passed a nullification bill to prevent the enforcement of the many mandates of the Obamacare legislation.
Someone called politics "the art of the possible." But, in the era of the modern welfare state, politics is largely the art of the impossible.
A man in Britain declared brain dead woke up just in time to escape the death sentence of doctors preparing to remove him from life support and harvest his organs.
The South Carolina state House of Representatives is poised to pass a bill rejecting the establishment of ObamaCare health insurance exchanges and penalizing state employees who participate in the federal healthcare act.
Because ObamaCare will force it to cover many people with expensive conditions, Maryland's largest insurer is proposing a 25-percent rate increase for individuals in 2014.
Several family-run businesses owned by people of faith have successfully defended their right to freely exercise their religion against attack by the Obama administration.
Regal Entertainment Group, the nation's largest movie theater chain, is reducing employees' work hours in an effort to escape ObamaCare's employee mandate.
Tens of thousands of people will be hired at $20 or more per hour to help Americans navigate ObamaCare's insurance exchanges, a proposed federal rule reveals.
ObamaCare's small-business insurance exchange is a year behind schedule, and its medical device tax is so onerous even Democrats want to repeal it.
According to the Washington Post, Medicare patients are beginning to experience healthcare rationing and are being turned away at cancer clinics across America.

Global Choke Point: Confronting Energy Demand and Water Scarcity in China and the United States
Apr 01, 2013
China's soaring economy, fueled by an unyielding appetite for coal, is threatened by the country's steadily diminishing freshwater reserves. The United States faces similar water-energy confrontations—over millions of gallons of water are taken from ranchers to develop the deep oil and gas shale reserves of the west and there are battles between Georgia and Florida over diminishing drinking water reserves. Global Choke Point, though, is not necessarily a narrative of doom and gloom. The presentations will examine both the challenges and opportunities presented by these looming choke points.

The boys and girls didn't quite understand the concept behind perspective drawing, but the students of Chennai School in T.V. Puram enjoyed colouring boxes and spending time at the Government Museum.
Around 60 students of the school took part in 'Pannpaattu Palagani' (Windows of Culture), a one-day workshop on art and culture, on Saturday.
Apart from a tour of the museum, they were treated to an hour-and-half session of 'kai silambattam' that kept them mesmerized. One of the students, M. Manikandan, said he was impressed by the fast moves of the silambattam performers.
His classmates, G. Raja, D. Udayakumar and M. Lokesh, found drawing interesting as they had never thought about how the eye sees things differently. Their drawings were always flat, they said. The students were taught the distinction between two- and three-dimension and how it could be translated onto canvas.
"We were asked to draw a dot in the centre, make boxes and draw lines emanating from that point and connect the boxes with the lines," Manikandan said.
K. Vilvanathan, lecturer, painting department, Government College of Fine Arts, said of the 60 students who attended the workshop, at least half of them could be trained in drawing.
"They are talented. We asked them to draw what came to their mind and they were quite good. The drawings showed they were very observant and could analyse things," he said.
The workshop, conducted by the museum every Thursday, exposes a batch of students from schools run by the Chennai Corporation to a new folk art form, teaches them painting, and provides them lunch and snacks.
"The Chief Minister has allocated Rs. 5 lakh to the museum for educational activities," an official said.

The BJP government's slogan, Sauno Saath, Sauno Vikas (all together; for development of all), rings hollow in Juhapura, the largest Muslim-dominated locality of Ahmedabad. Not only has the BRTS ignored this long neglected area, the proposed Metro service between Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad will also stop just short of Juhapura.
The proposed Metro (metro-link express for Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad) is expected to cover 76 km and will run till the Agriculture Product Market Committee (APMC) in Vasna. Juhapura begins a few metres away from the Vasna APMC. Interestingly, the proposed extension plans for the BRTS also stop at Vasna.
This neglect of the locality is puzzling as Juhapura is home to four lakh people, most of whom are urban poor, the middle-income salaried class and self-employed residents. These people could use public transport to the fullest. Rizwan Kadri, an architect and resident of Juhapura, said that it is indeed curious why the Metro and BRTS plans end just before Juhapura. He alleged that this was another example of the state government's unwillingness to provide Muslims with better infrastructure.
"Extending the Metro and the BRTS from APMC to Sarkhej road and finally to Changodar would be the most logical thing to do as many people who really need these services would benefit. Yet our learned planners have avoided extending them to this potentially profit-making stretch. Is it because the stretch passes through Juhapura?" said Kadri. He further said that the area needs an efficient public transport system as a majority of the people in Juhpura are self-employed or daily-wage earners.
Haji Mirza Baig, a Congress corporator from Sarkhej ward, said bluntly that it was because of the BJP's political indifference that Juhapura was undeveloped.
"Muslims traditionally have not voted for the BJP. This is why the ruling party doesn't bother to bring any kind of development to our area," he said. Baig further alleged that the locality has long been denied basic facilities such adequate availability of piped water, good road infrastructure, drainage and sanitation facilities, good schools and parks.

Millard South assistant principal dies following shooting
By Katie Knapp Schubert
Omaha, NE – Millard South High School Assistant Principal Vicki Kaspar died Wednesday evening after she and principal Curtis Case were shot by a student.
Omaha Police responded to the school at 149th and Q streets just before one PM Wednesday for a report of a shooting in the office. The suspect fled the scene and was found dead a short time later in a car on 147th Street.
Omaha Police Chief Alex Hayes identified the shooter as 17-year-old Robert Butler Junior, a senior at Millard South High School and the son of Omaha Police detective Robert Butler.
Hayes says at this time Butler Jr.'s motive isn't known. Millard South High School was on lockdown for several hours Wednesday afternoon and families were instructed to pick up their children at a nearby church.
Kaspar was 58 years old.

Hunt for mastermind of Ninoy's killers, too
I read Inquirer's banner story "Hunt for Marcos loot goes on" (Inquirer, 1/3/13). I was a little bit dismayed for I was looking forward to see a headline "Hunt for mastermind of Ninoy Aquino's killers goes on."
I bring to mind Ninoy's horrible assassination because there is still a lot of time to look for the mastermind.
We remind ourselves that members of dictator Ferdinand Marcos' clan are now holding responsible positions in government. If we don't pursue our search for the mastermind, I'm sure we will wake up one morning to find the whole Marcos family on top of the world. Heaven forbid!
