Do You Have a Number One?

Last night on The Hills, Audrina and Lauren have yet another heart-to-heart about Audrina's relationship with Justin Bobby. Although most of Audtrina's friends are skeptical of their relationship, she continues to defend it by saying she just doesn't have the same chemistry or connection with anyone else. Lauren referred to Justin as Audrina's "number one," and it got me thinking about those guys that will always have your attention, no matter how wrong they might be. Even if you're not with him anymore, tell me, have you ever had a number one?

i think everyone has a number one, that guy you always go back to and you never listen to your friends advice on how he is just trouble. you break up and make up at least 12 times over the course of many years. i definitely have a number one. i've known him since i was four, my best friend's older brother's best friend haha. i have him on my mind at all times and i know that we'll end up getting back together and breaking up only god knows how many more times. i'm pretty sure all of my friends have "that guy" as well. it's kind of comforting to know that a lot of people experience the same thing as well.

Absolutely. We've been on and off for 8 years. I knew it was a problem when one morning, after a night of AMAZING sex (with someone else), I rolled over and was disappointed that it wasn't him. Then I was mad at myself for having that thought. Ugh.

I married my number one... and due to his status as such, even though we can stand each other 80% of the time... I'm having trouble getting the divorce finalized.

I'm dating my number one now. :) He became my number one a couple of years ago as I was dating his friend. WHOOPS. It's all resolved for the best now. :) My cheating scumbag ex is still a cheating scumbag and I'm with ... Prince Charming. ;p

Ha! A "number one" makes me want to use a geeky reference from Star Trek or something. But yes, my number one was a girl in junior high that used to tease me play fight with me. Nothing ever came of it, but I so had it bad for that girl! Once in a blue moon, I wonder what she's doing right now. ;-)

Yup. And he really doesn't deserve to be. My husband is my absolute perfect match, but that doesn't stop my mind from wandering to thoughts about "Mr. I-Was-Soooo-Wrong-About-Mr-Right". I wouldn't go there EVER again, but I still sometimes feel guilty for thinking about him.

Hmm. No, not a single number one. I have some guys in my life that have been in it for a long time, and I get kind of nostalgic when I hang out with them.

Yes ... an overweight, quirky guy who never even kissed a girl before I met him! I still think about him, even though I'm in a different relationship now. I think that's much more embarrassing than admitting to like a bad boy. *Hides*

Pirates (13-9) at Cardinals (13-8) 8:15 PM–Busch Stadium, St. Louis MLB.com Gameday TV: ROOT The Bucs take on the Cards this weekend in their first divisional road series of the year. St. Louis has been playing very well and leads the Central by a half-game. The winner of tonight's contest will hold first place. Yes, it's early, but I like when the Pirates are in first place. Tonight's starters… Jonathan Sanchez (0-2, 11.12) vs. Lance Lynn (3-0, 3.68) Sanchez made it through just three innings in his last start and allowed two runs…and his ERA still went down. He's been awful, but the good news is that this could be his final start as a Buc. At most, he'll make just one more after this – barring a setback from Francisco Liriano (who pitched very well in a rehab game at AAA last night) or an injury to someone else. Sanchez gave up two runs in two innings against the Cards before the middle game of last week's series between these teams was rained out. Lynn is off to a solid start for the second straight season. He's coing off a seven shutout innings against the Phillies – and allowed just one hit in that game. He got a victory over the Pirates in the series last week but did not pitch all that well – he was staked to a giant lead when James McDonald imploded and the Cards won 10-6. Bucs vs. Lynn Cards vs. Sanchez LINEUP

Marquee Group and SFX Announce Exchange Ratio for Merger.
Accordingly, the 15 trading day pricing period for determining the price of SFX Class A common stock to be used in the calculation of the exchange ratio ended Tuesday, March 9, 1999. If the transaction closes as anticipated on March 16th, the exchange ratio will be 0.0815, and thus each Marquee share will be converted into the right to receive 0.0815 shares of SFX Class A common stock. In such case, any future activity in the price of the stock of SFX or Marquee will have no effect on the number of SFX shares to be received by Marquee shareholders in the merger. Upon completion of the merger as contemplated, SFX will issue to Marquee stockholders approximately 1.5 million shares of SFX Class A common stock in exchange for their shares of Marquee stock, not including any options or warrants of Marquee.

Petrash: America needs something 'Newt'
Well," Super Tuesday" has come and gone. Many people were looking to the primary elections on March 6 to clarify where this year's Republican nomination campaign is headed. What we've seen is just how divided this country is over who is best suited to lead and, very possibly, determine the future of this nation.
The stakes are high; much is at risk. As goes this nation, so goes much of the world.With that in mind, it's difficult to understand why many in this country would want to leave the future of the world, as we know it, in the hands of a man with a seeming lifelong hostility to western values and western interests. When have we ever had a president whose background, citizenship, personal relationships, even the funding of his college education, been so much in question? Certainly, he's not in the mold of Ronald Reagan, a man admired and respected the world over, at a time when our country was seen as a world power and pillar of strength.
One thing is really clear in my mind's eye. Never before have I seen a candidate, of either party, that seemingly, has such hostility toward this country's values and interests — foreign or domestic — as Barack Obama. Signs of it are everywhere; all we have to do is take stock.
Obama's pawn is his attorney general, charged with finding, and using, whatever legal maneuvers he can to create legal hassles for the states so they have to bear the cost of defending issues that shouldn't be issues. Most of us think that what Arizona is attempting to do with illegal immigration is common sense. Not Eric Holder.
Other pawns are Harry Reid in the U.S. Senate and Nancy Pelosi in the U.S. House. At first, did anyone truly believe Obamacare would pass? Remember that Obamacare was passed against the will of the American people.
Also, take a look at the regulations imposed by the Environmental Protection Agency. What must we do without because we might disturb the Sagebrush Lizard? What are the extra costs associated with "going green?"
What about turning down the construction of the Keystone pipeline that would go a long way to relieve an oil supply problem and reduce gasoline prices? But the environmentalists, and their money, won't have it any other way, and Obama needs their money.
Has anyone forgotten, already, what the super democrats in Congress did, in 2010, when they controlled both the House and Senate of Congress? Consider this question if Obama is re-elected, what political restraints will he have that will limit his radical "change you can believe in" socialist agenda?
Instead we have a president that many question, not only his values and interests, but also his citizenship. We have a president who bows to a Saudi king and apologizes for America's "arrogance" in the world. We have a president who has forsaken our allies, like the Czech Republic and Poland who trusted our country to protect them — and the rest of Europe — from Russian aggression by imposing a very strategic nuclear missile defense shield.
Where is our president's respect for this country? Remember it was four years ago in 2008 when Michelle Obama said, speaking on the campaign trail in Milwaukee, that "for the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback." For the first time in her adult life? Now we know that wasn't just a slip of the tongue; she meant it!
It's difficult to understand that 45 percent of Americans believe Obama is the answer. The good news is that 47 percent don't.
President Obama, because of his congenial personality, is a Pied Piper. Newt Gingrich said it right when he said that Obama is a dangerous man. Obama, and his cronies, are more of a dangerous threat to America than any foreign country.
I am convinced that he seeks to impoverish Americans and diminish America's role as a world power. The gravity of his threat is that he is in a position to disarm and dismantle the U.S. from within with warped policies and ruthless legal maneuvers. Obama must go (OMG) in November.
Republicans are now trying to answer the question of who is likely, more able, to defeat Barack Obama. America has that team. It's Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.
This team is possible but they, together, are going to have to sort out whether they will put America first!

vances in genetic technologies for identifying individual risk for various diseases is making information available that could be used by insurers or employers to limit coverage for an ever-larger proportion of the population.
It is in the nature of both voluntarism (as a mechanism for decisionmaking) and federalism (as a form of government) to disperse power, although the degree and nature of this dispersion can be quite variable. For example, the current structure of voluntarism in the health sector concentrates a great deal of discretion with the employer. It also leaves employers free to require employees to select insurance or show evidence of another source of coverage, and many employers do so in order to discourage adverse selection in the organization's health benefit program. Although the structure may not give as much discretion to the employee as to the employer, the employer may be in a better position than the individual to use its purchasing power to secure better prices, services, and disclosure of information from health plans. At their best, employers are available—and have a direct financial incentive—to act as ombudsmen for their employees and to support them in making informed decisions and resolving problems. Such assistance is less readily available to those with Medicare, Medicaid, or individually purchased private insurance.
On the other hand, with power dispersed to organizations of vastly different sizes and resources, large purchasers have had much more leverage than small employers to negotiate with health care providers for discounts and other favorable payment arrangements. One consequence of this heterogeneity is a considerable amount of cost shifting, which occurs when providers are able to offset discounts or other reduced payments from some purchasers by increasing charges for smaller, weaker, less aware, or less concerned purchasers.
Among governments, the power to regulate employee benefits is no longer delegated to the states but reserved for the federal government through ERISA. Because the federal government has, in practice, chosen to leave many important aspects of employee health benefits unregulated, the power to provide, negotiate, and restrict such benefits devolves to thousands of self-insured employers of widely differing competence, outlook, and accountability.
Virtually every employer's program of health benefits differs from every other employer's program in some aspect (e.g., who is eligible for coverage, through what kinds of health plans, for which kinds of services, with

The State of Oregon has identified Oregon schools which will receive additional supports and interventions to help increase student achievement. The identification of these schools is one component of Oregon's new accountability system under the ESEA/NCLB waiver.
The schools to receive the supports are designated as Priority and Focus Schools. Following are definitions for the terms:
- Priority Schools – High poverty schools that ranked in the bottom 5% of Title I schools in the state, or any school receiving ESEA School Improvement Grants (SIG).
- Focus Schools – High poverty schools which ranked in the bottom 6 to 15% of Title I schools.
In Salem-Keizer the following schools received a preliminary designation as a Priority or Focus school:
Preliminary Priority Schools
(all are so designated because they receive SIG funds, rather than due to performance rating)
Early College High School
Hallman Elementary School
McKay High School
Roberts High School
Preliminary Focus Schools
Four Corners Elementary School
Grant Community School
Richmond Elementary School
Scott Elementary School
Swegle Elementary School
The schools on the Priority and Focus lists will conduct an analysis of their unique issues surrounding achievement. Based on this review, the school will develop a Comprehensive Achievement Plan.
The schools received their designation after being rated under the new waiver accountability system. The system assigns an overall rating based on multiple measures of growth. The following chart lists the measures used:
|High Schools
|Middle and Elementary Schools
|Academic Achievement
(OAKS scores)
|Academic Growth
(Year to year comparison of Oaks)
|Subgroup Growth
(Year to year comparison of growth among Special Ed groups, ELL, etc.)
|Graduation Rates
|Subgroup Graduation Rates

Public Testimony Before 9/11 Panel
Published: March 23, 2004
(Page 59 of 69)
RUMSFELD: In June and July when the intelligence spike took place, there were a good number of steps that were taken. My responsibilities, as you know, were overseas and not domestically. But forces were alerted. Embassies were alerted, as Secretary Powell indicated today. There were a number of steps taken by the Transportation Department with respect to airlines and cautions and warnings there. So it's not as though the intelligence that was gathering had not been understood and address and a great number of steps in addition to the development of the policy taken.
KERREY: I've got to say, Mr. Secretary, if that's the case -- and I trust you, I believe you on this point -- then I don't think it's a good argument to say that the American people wouldn't have accepted something prior to 9/11 that was unpopular, because you just said that absent 9/11 you would have recommended to the president to put in place a policy that would have been exceptionally unpopular and difficult to sell. I believe he should have, by the way, regardless of whether or not 9/11 happened. But it doesn't work. The argument falls on its face if you say, Please understand, we couldn't have done this before 9/11, if you say you would have done it absent 9/11.
RUMSFELD: I understand.
KERREY: All right. Dr. Rice has said that the national security team was briefed on the threat of Al Qaida in the transition and that it was well understood. This is what she said in The Washington Post yesterday: It was well understood by the president and his national security team, the principle.
In the interview that we did with you, you seemed not to be as clear as Dr. Rice was, or at least Secretary Powell was. And by the way, I'm very sympathetic to that given that the Department of Defense did not have that kind of authority over counterterrorism activity. So perhaps that would be the reason you were not. But in the interview, you indicated that you didn't recall that briefing. And in your testimony you also referenced -- I love to hear that even you have moments that you forget, you were at a briefing and people were telling you something. Do you recall the briefings on Al Qaida by Secretary Cohen and...
RUMSFELD: Secretary Cohen commented on it today. We did have a one or two meetings. He had a long list of items. There must have been 40- or 50-plus items.
RUMSFELD: I have given it to the committee. The first item was one that concerned him the most. And it involved a sensitive item that was very much on his mind that was terrorism-related, but to my recollection not Al-Qaida-related.
KERREY: It seems to me that Dr. Rice is overstating the case a bit in that statement saying that the threat of Al Qaida was well understood by the president and his entire national security team.
RUMSFELD: Oh, I don't think that's an overstatement.
KERREY: No?
RUMSFELD: Certainly the people in the administration who came in didn't arrive out of cellophane packages. They...
KERREY: But you didn't get a briefing by the counterterrorist and security group nor by SOLIC?
RUMSFELD: I did not get a briefing that Secretary Powell got, no. I was briefed by members of the joint staff and other people in the policy departments of the Department of Defense.
KERREY: Dr. Rice also said that she wasn't satisfied with the off-the-shelf military response options that were available after the Cole, the so-called tit-for-tat options that I think she was referring to 20 August 1998 against the camps in Afghanistan. Did she ask for military options? Or were there military options requested during your term, because our investigation shows that there were no new military plans developed against Al Qaida or bin Laden prior to September 11th?
RUMSFELD: I think it's accurate to say -- General Myers, you may want to chime in here. But I think it's accurate to say that there were military options. And I characterize it as options and not a comprehensive plan to deal with Al Qaida and countries that harbor Al Qaida, but options to react -- response options, military response options to deal with specific terrorist events. And I was briefed on them, as I indicated in my testimony. And I suspect that Dr. Rice was briefed on them. I can just say that I don't remember ever seeing, in the first instance, I don't remember anyone being briefed on military proposals to react to something where they were fully satisfied. Nor do I ever remember military people being fully satisfied with the intelligence available. That's the nature of the world we live in. Dick, do you want to comment?
MYERS: Well, I would just add that we did, after the Cole, continue some of the planning that had gone on before, since '98 actually, and developed some additional options. I think we briefed the committee on those, or at least the staff.
KERREY: I'm confused when the national security adviser, in the Post, says that we didn't have an Al Qaida plan. No plan was given to the new administration on how to deal with Al Qaida. And then she goes on to say that was not satisfied with the off- the-shelf options that were available. Especially in the second case, we don't see any evidence that during the Bush administration there were any new requests that came to DOD asking for new military options. If there was dissatisfaction with the national security adviser, you would think she would have sent a request over for alternative military options.

WaterField, Wrappers intro new sleeves for unibody MacBooks

SleeveCase, Natural Linen sleeves for MacBooks
Wrappers and WaterField Designs have announced new laptop sleeves, the custom-fitted SleeveCase and Natural Linen series, for Apple's unibody MacBooks. The SleeveCase, which is made by WaterField, is designed for 13.3-inch MacBooks and features a ballistic nylon outer shell, 6mm neoprene interior for increased shock resistance, and a small flap across the middle to keep the laptop in place. It is TSA compliant for traveling through airports, while a bottom loop is designed to help users pull the notebook out of the case.
The SleeveCase is capable of fitting into the company's Muzettom Cargo, Cozmo or VertiGo bags, while also working as a standalone case by attaching a strap to the sleeve. WaterField Designs is also offering its 13-inch Racer-X and HardCase laptop bags, along with the Suede Jacket Sleeve for the unibody MacBook.
The Natural Linen sleeves, geared for 13-inch devices, feature a waterproof microfiber lining and a peach-skin texture exterior for a smooth feel.

Both cases can be found online, with the SleeveCase priced at $40 and the Natural Linen sleeves each commanding $36. Accessories and add-on bags for the SleeveCase start at $18 for the shoulder strap and go up to $230 for the bags.

Thea Foss Waterway
|This article on a place of local interest appears to contain only a small amount of verifiable information.
The Thea Foss Waterway is a waterway running roughly north-south immediately east of downtown Tacoma, Washington. It is an inlet of Commencement Bay.
Tacoma was the site of an early sawmill in 1853. The deepwater port began to boom in the 1870s, sailing ships and steam tugs called in. The Northern Pacific Railroad arrived, by way of the Columbia River in 1874,and the port began to boom (the line via Montana was finished in 1883, but access from California and Nevada did not come till 1891). Tea, wheat lumber, coal, and apples were moved. Trade with Asia exploded. A through railway line was built across the Cascade mountains at Stampede Pass in 1890s and Tacoma began is longtime rivalry with its upstart neighbor 25 miles to the north.
Thea Foss founded Foss Maritime Company on the inlet in 1889.[1] She expanded with rowboats, naptha launches and steam tugs. Foss Tug became the pre-eminent towing company in Puget Sound. Today Foss is the largest tug concern on the Pacific Coast.
Initially, the railroads owned the foreshore, as they continue to do till this day. But the City Fathers of Tacoma saw the need to wrest control of the land and build the port. In 1919, the Port of Tacoma was established to capture Panama Canal Traffic, and the sprawling port was expanded into the river delta. Another major railroad arrived--the Milwaukee Road, and it brought further trade.
Sawmills, cedar shingle mills, boat yards, wharves, graneries and warehouses proliferated in the area. Railroad yards extended on the flat foreshore. Fishworks, and processing plants were set up on the shore.
101 years ago, the Thea Foss Waterway was a thriving industrial center. Industry began to dwindle in the area, and by 1981, the Thea Foss Waterway was almost entirely abandoned. In 1983, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) listed the Thea Foss and Wheeler-Osgood waterways as part of the larger 12-acre (49,000 m2) Commencement Bay Superfund site. The final cap from the Superfund cleanup action on the Thea Foss Waterway occurred back in February 2006.[2] As of 2010, planned development is underway along the waterway. When complete, the new development will feature parks, residential areas, and office space. A public esplanade will run along the length of the waterway. 7 of the 15 development sites are either constructed or have specific plans for redevelopment. The project is overseen by the Foss Waterway Development Authority Board (FWDA).
Local leaders see the Thea Foss Waterway as an economic opportunity, and seek to restore it to the commercial hub that it once was.

Philippine stocks succumb anew to profit-taking
popular .
MANILA, Philippines—Local stocks tumbled on profit-taking for the second day on Wednesday as global growth woes dampened trading across regional markets.
The main-share Philippine Stock Exchange Index shed 40.15 points, or 0.66 percent, to finish at 6,047.52. This was in line with the weak sentiment across the region after the World Bank slashed its global growth forecast further to 2.4 percent this year from an earlier outlook of 3 percent.
At the local market, all counters ended in negative territory except for the financial index.
The top index decliners were JG Summit, Philex, RLC, ICTSI, Metro Pacific Investments and Meralco, which all fell by over 2 percent.
Philex was down by 2.82 percent on reports that the government rejected its appeal on the P1-billion penalty arising from the Padcal mine tailing pond leakage.
JG Summit and RLC, which last month struck a gaming partnership deal with Japanese tycoon Okada, were affected by news over a Federal Bureau of Investigation probe on the latter's Philippine casino permit.
Meralco, BDO, AEV, AC, DMCI and Metrobank also contributed to the index decline, all of them falling by over 1 percent. PLDT, Globe, SMIC, Metrobank, ALI, URC and SM Prime also fell.
On the other hand, the decline was tempered by the gains of Jollibee, BPI, AGI, EDC, SMDC, AP, MWC, Petron, Megaworld and Semirara.
Across the region, stock markets were mostly lower as the World Bank issued its latest world economic outlook. "Four years after the onset of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to struggle. Developing economies are still the main driver of global growth, but their output has slowed. To regain pre-crisis growth rates, developing countries must once again emphasize internal productivity-enhancing policies. While headwinds from restructuring and fiscal consolidation will persist in high-income countries, these should become less intense allowing for a slow acceleration in growth over the next several years," the bank said.

Laguna Thai by the Sea
31715 Coast Highway, Laguna Beach, CA 92651Map
+1 949 415 0924
Neighborhood: Laguna Beach
Cuisine: Thai
To find this tiny restaurant on the busy Coast Highway, look for the sign of its famous neighbor Ti Amo Ristorante. In the 10ft-wide dining room, Laguna Thai managed to house two rows of tables, each fitting not much more than two plates and two glasses. Limited parking space is not hard to imagine. Yet still, the patrons don't stop coming. The Tom Kha Soup (coconut milk soup with chicken and vegetables) often impresses connoisseurs of Thai cuisine. Some of their other specialties are Pad Kra Prow (chicken sautéed in spicy chilies with basil sauce and bamboo shoots), and Ga Rhee Gai (yellow curry chicken). – Hoiyin Ip

PC World refusing to give me an exchange

Hi in January this year I bought a set of TurtleBeach headphones. Last week the left headphone stopped working due to a loose wire where it goes into the volume control unit, you can tell because if you wiggle the wire you will get a flash of sound. My missus took them back to the shop today but was told they wouldn't exchange them as we didn't have the till receipt any more. I then took them in to the store and spoke to the manager on duty. He said that was the company policy, even though I informed him that under the sale of goods act you don't have to have the receipt. What should I do and who should I complain to? Any help much appreciated. Mark

You may think that you do not need a receipt, but you would need proof of purchase, and this could well be a credit/debit or voucher card statement.
If the manufacturer have provided an extra warranty, they may also require 'proof of purchase', which could perhaps have been registration at time of purchase, or the retailer receipt. Perhaps you could try contacting them for help, because some manufacturer's can be very helpful with goodwill gestures?.

If you don't have the receipt you have to ptove that you bought them in the store.
Look at it from tehir point of view - for all they know you bought them off Amazon or Comet.

As an ex-employee of PC WOrld, I can say that you do not need proof of purchase. If you know exactly when you purchased it ( the more narrower date range the better) and if you paid by a debit or credit card, as the manager to do a search on their systems using the SKU code for the product and the date(s) range and it will bring up all the transactions relating to the product. They can quickly check and see which one was your transaction and identify it with the last 4 digits of your debit/credit card.
A common sense approach should have been applied by the manager, which in this case has not been.
Alternatively send me a PM and I can email you a contact for a very helpful person at Head Office to whom you can explain the situation and I am sure she'll be able to assist if she's still working there.

They may get things right sometimes, but their trading terms and conditions, which is there for everyone to see and check, still states that 'Proof of Purchase' is required, and its noted more than once?.
No point in saying its not required, then trying to explain methods of retrieving past evidence of Proof of Purchase. In the end Proof of Purchase is required, as evidence that the item was purchased from this company and not some where else. A standard commercial practise perhaps?.

Description : When people think of the hip hop life, they think of the players – the men who shape the music and the blinged-out lifestyle that comes with success. The fact is the hip hop life is different for the women involved: the spouses, girlfriends or artists trying to define themselves in a world where men are still calling the shots. VH1's new, 8-part docu-soap series "Love & Hip Hop" follows four dynamic women who are connected to the world of hip hop, whether it's through the men they love, or their struggle to be heard as an artist. "Love & Hip Hop" provides a dramatic, funny and sometimes heartbreaking look into the female side of the New York hip hop life as these four women try to claim their own place in it. Chrissy Lampkin, girlfriend to hip hop star Jim Jones, and Emily Bustamante, girlfriend to rapper Fabolous, are waiting for their men to put a ring on it; however, both men suffer from a severe case of commitment phobia. Olivia Longott, the former first lady of G Unit, is done living in the shadows and is determined to make it on her own as a solo artist. Like Olivia, Somaya "Boss" Reese, a tall, sexy Latina, also has a fierce determination to launch her rap career and become a household name in the music industry. Will these four women have the endurance and fortitude to survive the chaos of the hip hop game and realize their dreams?

Ex-airport screener ordered held in threats
LOS ANGELES — A judge on Monday ordered a former Los Angeles International Airport security screener to be held without bond after he was accused of making threats that forced the evacuation of several terminals.
U.S. District Court Judge Patrick Walsh said Nna Alpha Onuoha, 29, was a flight risk and suggested he had undergone a mental "break" and was acting irrationally when he allegedly made the threats around the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks.
Some terminals at Los Angeles International Airport were closed for hours while authorities investigated. However, a bomb squad found no explosives or harmful contents in a package that authorities said Onuoha had sent to a Transportation Security Administration manager.
The FBI has said no other people were linked to the threats.
Onuoha, shackled and wearing a white prison jumpsuit, said nothing during the hearing in which the judge repeatedly said he did not trust him to act rationally if released.
"He was $15,000 in debt. He did not have a job. He had threatened to blow people up and he signaled to his family they would never see him again," the judge said.
Prosecutors asked the judge for a competency hearing and to hold Onuoha as a danger to the community, but Walsh said those issues should be handled by the judge who ultimately hears the case.
Walsh said he would reconsider if the defense presents evidence from a doctor that Onuoha is suffering from a mental illness.

Left-handed reliever Andrew Miller is the Red Sox' most sought-after asset in potential trades as the July 31 deadline approaches, according to Peter Gammons.
The lanky, 6-foot-7 Miller, 29, could be a valuable bullpen addition to a contender. He struck out both batters he faced Friday night in a 5-4 victory over the Royals at Fenway Park to run his streak of scoreless outings to nine. The lefty specialist has a 2.19 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 60 strikeouts and 12 walks in 37 innings this season.
The Atlanta Braves were said to be interested in Miller earlier this week. He could likely fetch a fairly decent prospect or two in a deal.

As of Thursday, November 1, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
There have been close wins and near-misses this season. Some players that were virtually unknown coming into the 2012 season are now the headliner for their respective teams. Some teams have surprised while others haven't quite performed up to expectations. This season has had it all. With the regular season coming to a close next week, sports editor Derrick Mahone takes a look back at the biggest moments of the past 10 weeks.
1,379 Yards that Mundy's Mill junior running back Rodney Smith has coming into tonight's game against Ola. He has 165 carries and is averaging 172 yards per game with 16 touchdowns.
28 Touchdowns that Drew has scored this season heading into tonight's game against Union Grove at Southern Crescent Stadium. Sophomore Marquis Terry leads the team with eight touchdowns, including six rushing scores. He also leads the team with 380 yards rushing.
2 Teams in the county that are currently ranked in the latest Associated Press Prep Poll. Lovejoy is ranked No. 7 in Class AAAAAA, the state's largest classification with an 8-1 record. Jonesboro is No. 8 in the Class AAAA poll with a 7-1 record.
15 Straight region games that Lovejoy has won with senior Alejandro Bennifield starting at quarterback. The Wildcats are 5-0 in Region 2-AAAAAA, and have clinched the region title and the top seed in the playoffs in two weeks. Last season, Lovejoy finished 10-0 in Region 4-AAAA. Lovejoy has won three consecutive region titles.
Biggest surprise (team): Mundy's Mill
It had been a while since the Tigers had played a game this late in the season that meant something. Last week, Mundy's Mill traveled to McDonough to take on Union Grove with first place into he subregion at stake. Even though Mundy's Mill lost the game, the Tigers are still in contention for a high seed in next week's region play-in game. Mundy's Mill would get to host a play-in game if Union Grove defeats Drew tonight. A Drew loss would give the Tigers a No. 2 seed in the subregion as they would host the No. 3 seed in the other side of the region.
Biggest setback: North Clayton
The Eagles have been one of the most consistent playoff teams in the county with a string of four straight appearances in the postseason. That string could be in jeopardy as the Eagles are the No. 4 seed in Region 4-AAAA, Div. B heading into next week's play-in game against the Div. A champion. North Clayton had its worst ever start to a season by losing its first six games before a win at Upson-Lee on Oct. 12. The program had not won fewer than three games in a season since 1991. A playoff appearance would definitely atone for a disappointing regular season.
Biggest upset: Mundy's Mill over Drew
After starting the season with an 0-4 record, it hardly seem Mundy's Mill was ready to contend for a top spot in Region 4-AAAAA, Div. A. But after playing McIntosh close and defeating Mount Zion, the Tigers started to gain confidence. Boosted by a standout performance from junior running back Rodney Smith, Mundy's Mill defeated Drew 32-31 to put itself in a position to control the subregion. Drew was expected to contend for the subregion title while Mundy's Mill was looking to establish itself under first-year coach Greg Manior.
Biggest expectation: Lovejoy
Coming off a trip to the Class AAAA finals with all but three starters back on both sides of the ball, Lovejoy had some lofty expectations. The Wildcats, ranked No. 7-ranked in Class AAAAAA, won their third straight region title. Playing in what is regarded as the state's weakest Class 6A region, the Wildcats have been dominant with a bevy of Div. I talent. If the Wildcats are to make another run at a state title, they will have to go through powerhouse Region 1 and 8 during the second and quarterfinals round. Lovejoy has won 32 of its last 35 games.
Biggest win: Lovejoy over Druid Hills
OK, Druid Hills is not exactly a powerhouse, or even a playoff contender for that matter. The significance of this win was a milestone victory for Wildcats coach Al Hughes, the dean of coaches in the county. With the team's 58-3 victory at North DeKalb Stadium on Sept. 28, Hughes became the first Clayton county coach to get 100 wins in a career in the county. Hughes, who has a 104-80 record in stops at Jonesboro and Lovejoy, has won six region titles during his coaching career.
Best game: Lovejoy vs. Colquitt County
This was the game that would be the measuring stick for the Wildcats in the state's highest classification. In what turned out to be a defensive battle, No. 10 Colquitt defeated the then-No. 9 Wildcats at home before a sellout crowd at Mack Tharpe Stadium in Moultrie. The Packers allowed just one touchdown and used two scores on trick plays to knock off the Wildcats 14-7. Preseason all-state running back Travis Custis rushed for 141 yards, 127 coming in the first half. Lovejoy's lone touchdown came in the fourth quarter when quarterback Alejandro Bennifield connected with Brandon Davis on a 21-yard pass play on fourth down.
Best comeback: Jonesboro at Westover
Westover dominated the first half at Hugh Mills Stadium in Albany to take a 12-8 lead at halftime. The Patriots used two long drives to keep Jonesboro's explosive offense off the field. But when senior running back Patrick Petty got his opportunity, he made the most of it. He scored on a 75-yard kickoff return to spark some life into the Cardinals' offense. Most of the second half was dominated by Jonesboro and standout Cameron Sutton. Jonesboro scored on a short drive when quarterback Mario Atkinson got into the end zone on a 1-yard run, and then Sutton added a two-point conversion run to lift the Cardinals to a 16-12 lead with 4:34 left in the third. From there, Jonesboro would go on for a 35-18 win.
Best finish: Drew at Starr's Mill
Clinging to a one-point lead at Starr's Mill on Sept. 28, the Drew Titans needed a big, long drive to seal the win. And that's exactly what the Titans got. Part of the game-winning drive including a pair of fourth-down conversions. The biggest came when tailback Lester Knauls plunged in from the 1-yard line on a fourth-and-goal play to seal the win. Knauls run was aided by a block from Jordan Metts to allow his teammate to score.
Best performance (player): Rodney Smith, Mundy's Mill
The Tigers observed Senior Night against Drew in a key Region 4-AAAAA, Div. A contest at Southern Crescent Stadium. But junior tailback Rodney Smith became the main attraction in leading the Tigers to a 32-31 win to remain unbeaten in the subregion. Smith rushed for 286 yards on 24 carries and scored four touchdowns in the surprise win. He had scoring runs of 56, 54, 29 and 26 yards as they led by as many 11 points in the third quarter. Known as one of the top baseball infielders in the area, Smith is having a breakout season for the Tigers on the football field as they continue to make a push for a playoff berth.
Biggest surprise (player): Mario Atkinson, Jonesboro
No varsity experience. No problem for the junior quarterback. While the Cardinals were making a run at the postseason last season, Atkinson was the starting quarterback on the school's JV team. This season as the varsity starter, the Cardinals are 7-1 overall and ranked No. 7 in Class AAAA. The Cardinals are in second place in the subregion and will host a region play-in game next week. Atkinson has passed for over 1,300 yards in leading a high-powered offense.

'Media coverage has made farming look pointless'
'Panchayats have failed to carry out their duties related to environmental conservation'
Jaiji Peter Foundation's gold medal for the best environmental activist given to Purushan Eloor
ALAPPUZHA: Coir and Cooperation Minister G. Sudhakaran has said that the media have a large role to play in farmers reclaiming and filling up paddy fields for purposes other than agriculture.
Speaking at an award ceremony organised by the Jaiji Peter Foundation here on Sunday, Mr. Sudhakaran said that the wide media reportage on the losses suffered by paddy farmers had led to a notion among farmers that there was no point in continuing farming and that they could use paddy fields for other purposes. This had led to a drop in the area under cultivation in the State, particularly in Kuttanad.
Even when the Left launched an anti-reclamation stir, there were efforts to propagate the notion that the stir was baseless. The method followed during the stir might have had faults, but the stir itself was never wrong, Mr. Sudhakaran said pointing out that such agitations were necessary to preserve ecological balance.
'Man-made disaster'
More than natural calamities, it was man who had caused the damage in Kuttanad. Citing the case of the Alappuzha –Changanassery Canal which had several unscientifically constructed bridges across it, the Minister said even officials were not interested in protecting the ecological balance of the region. Ironically, it was government money that was being used to destroy nature through such unscientific constructions, he said.
Laws alone would not help in protection of nature. Public awareness had to be generated and those responsible had to do their part, Mr. Sudhakaran said criticising panchayats for failing to carry out their duties related to conservation and preservation of ecology.
"Not a single panchayat in the State has so far come forward to protect the ecosystem; the same is the case with municipalities too. The fact that preservation of the ecosystem is a social responsibility, a citizen's duty and a humanitarian gesture has to be propagated," he added.
Mr. Sudhakaran later gave away the Jaiji Peter Foundation's gold medal for the best environmental activist in the State to Periyar Malineekarana Virudha Samithi researcher Purushan Eloor for his relentless battle against the pollution of the Periyar river.
Alappuzha MLA K.C. Venugopal delivered the Jaiji Peter memorial lecture. Foundation president K.V. Sudhakaran, chairman P.O. Philip and secretary Babu Peter spoke.
The foundation was set up in memory of Jaiji Peter, a senior sub-editor with the Malayala Manorama newspaper who passed away in an accident on May 4, 1997.

Founder of Pregnancy Loss Remembrance Day -Absolutely stunning, compelling, and unlike any other book related to pregnancy loss that I have read. The author, Deanna Roy, has taken stories of loss and turned this book into a novel. This is real life.
When you hear a woman's heartwrenching story, she normally leaves out great detail. This book tells it all; the truth of what women go through before, during and after a pregnancy loss. Very touching novel and the writing is fantastic. I could not put it down.

Milwaukee artists have showdown on tonight's 'Project Runway'
The two Milwaukee artists who are appearing on "Project Runway" this season will end up in a major showdown in the episode that will air at 8 p.m. on Lifetime, according to footage that has been leaked in advance of the show, which airs from 8 to 9:30 p.m. of Lifetime.
"I think Timothy is making me nuts, so I am just going nuts," says Miranda Levy angrily in the footage leaked in advance by Marie Claire. "Maybe when I end up in the mental hospital they'll just let me take this dress with me. »Read Full Blog Post(3)
Milwaukee Film Festival picks: Day Eleven
One regrettable, if inevitable, occurrence during a film festival is that films you want to see often play opposite each other. That occurs Sunday at the Milwaukee Film Festival with parallel screenings of "The Act of Killing" (Downer Theatre) and "Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me" (Fox-Bay Cinema Grill), both at 8 p.m.
"The Act of Killing" is an appalling yet compelling and strangely beautiful documentary in which the Indonesian gangsters and paramilitary group members who killed 1 million Chinese "communists" in 1965 re-create their crimes as surreal movie scenes. »Read Full Blog Post

Boat services around Jaffna
Once you get to Jaffna don't hesitate to visit surrounding islands. They are beautyfull and - it's important - landmine free. You can find there some great temples, abandonned villages and friendly people.
Three of the major islands - Kayts, Karaitivu and Punkudutivu - are joined to the mainland by causeways over the shallow waters around the peninsula. Close to the beautyfull town of Kayts, at the northern tip of Kayts Island, stands the island fort of Hammenhiel, which ic accessible by boat from Kayts. The name means 'heel-of-the-ham' and relates to the Dutch view that Ceylon was shaped rather like a ham.
Delft, named after the Dutch town of that name, is 10 km off Punkudutivu and 35 km from Jaffna. Ferries go from Nainativu and Kurikkaduvan. The island is known for its traces of the Portuguese and Dutch eras, such as the Dutch garrison captain's country house, and also for its bleak, windswept beauty. The small Dutch fort is only a short walk from the port. On the island are hundredsof stone walls which, like the Dutch fort, are made of huge, beautiful chunks of the brain and fan coral of which the island is composed.
Delft is not the only island with a dutch name. You will find also Rotterdam, Haarlem, Horn and Enkuysen. Keyts Island was called Leyden, Karaitivu - Amsterdam and Punkudutivu - Middeleberg.
You can see more pictures from the islands in my travelogue.

Taking a bus to Jaffna
From Colombo to Jaffna you can now fly every day. It's fast and not so expensive. But a land-trip is far more interesting. First you have to get to Vavunia - it's a "border" town. After passing several checkpoints you will leave governement controlled teritory and enter to LTTE (Tamil Tigers) controlled area. There you will easly find a bus in direction of Jaffna. From the bus window you can enjoy the views of bombarded villages, landmines fields and abandonned tanks...
Jaffna is controlled by governement forces, so few kilometers before the city once again a "borderline" with checkpoints, changing of bus etc.
This trip is very strange but interesting experience.

By Michael Klimes: Carl Froch and Ricky Hatton both fought in America the past week and betrayed the weaknesses of their styles by holding their hands low. Froch prevailed in his twelve round bout with Jermain Taylor but for a time it looked like his first title defence would end in a fairly wide points defeat. However, Froch, demonstrating his well known grit and power, broke through Taylors disciplined boxing and saved himself from an embarrassing loss. Froch must be commended for going to the US and avoiding the mistake that Calzaghe made during his career when he only crossed the Atlantic toward his careers conclusion. Froch understandably defines himself in relation to and against his predecessor and wants to meet the ex-super middleweight king soon. He has even tried to goad the Welshman by telling him that he must get out of his arm chair. I have to be honest: Frochs performance did not impress me that much. It is true this was an entertaining fight but what did Froch reveal to us that was different from his previous brawl with Jean Pascal last December? Nothing is the answer and he won the fight based on his conditioning, power, chin and determination..
These are fine attributes but they only take you so far in the ring and it was alarming how many punches Froch took to his head, which could have been mitigated by a high guard, head movement and jab. I remember when I interviewed Bob Bozic in New York, former sparring partner of Joe Frazier and George Foreman, who encapsulated the issue so eloquently, In this business, you want to be smart and not tough. We know Froch is tough but can he be smart and win a bout with a degree of technical skill? Taylors quick hands obviously caused him problems but he started to do well when he began jabbing in the middle rounds. Another error Froch made was not having any fluidity in his combinations. When he hurt Taylor, he did not follow up with the necessary aggression.
So we have a mixed result where Froch demonstrated he is a world class finisher and carries his power into the late rounds but has stylistic flaws that could be his undoing. When he fights somebody like Mikkel Kessler or Lucien Bute: boxer-punchers who are mobile, well rounded and possess fast hands, he will run into trouble if he decides to merely brawl. Kesslers peerless jab which is precise, fast, hurtful and frequent will give him real problems. Meanwhile, a meeting with Calzaghe should be avoided until further experience is gained. Similarly, Taylor needs to improve as well. He looks like he is, in his own way, a bigger version of Zab Judah as he does not retain stamina into the late rounds despite his impressive athleticism and ability to be explosive early on. I am not sure if he is finished with the big fights but he will have to rebuild himself.
Ricky Hatton, after he was completely annihilated by Manny Pacquiaos exceptional brilliance, might never fight again. The speed of Pacquiao was the defining difference for Hatton and he admitted as much in that he did not see the punch which toppled him. Pacquiao will go onto greater achievements and it is ominous for his potential opponents and exhilarating for his fans to realise he has not peaked yet. His continuing dedication to his sport and the evolution he has undergone, steered by coach extraordinaire Freddie Roach, is humbling. The intersection of his tremendous athleticism, technique and experience is mesmerising.
I might be guilty of hyperbole but the emergence of Pacquiao into an educated but savage boxer-puncher and his weight jumping reminds one of Roberto Duran. The Panamanian had a scowl and intensity the Filipino seems to share although he is far more charming than Duran to other boxers during press conferences, which is not a bad quality. Pacquiao does not have the defensive élan of Duran yet as he does not have that subtle head feint but he could get there.
An encounter with Floyd Mayweather Junior could on the cards provided he can get past Juan Manuel Marquez, the closest person Pacquiao has had to a nemesis. Marquez has been in fine form himself of late and has done everything he can to remain in Pacquiaos vision. If Marquez beats Mayweather, he will have to be granted another fight against Pacquiao. Nevertheless, surely the fight with the bigger capacity to excite people is the meeting with Mayweather. This is a contest where the defensive genius, who it appears is solely driven by the commercial incentive and has an arrogant persona, meets the best offensive fighter in the world who is a man of the people and wants to do nothing to upset his fans. Pacquiao is committed to high velocity entertainment while Mayweather is the cool counter-puncher who will be ruthlessly mundane if he has to win a fight. Mayweather of the old school used to be more of a boxer-puncher and finisher that gave me flashbacks of Sugar Ray Leonard: could this version be reincarnated in a clash with Pacquiao? What if Pacquiao-Mayweather became the Duran vs. Leonard of this generation and Mayweather, in the spirit of Leonard, announces he will go toe to toe with Pacquiao in the fight to prove his mettle? What a classic that could be!
As for Hatton, one has to feel for him. Many of his critics feel that he is a glorified version of Arturo Gatti, who has had a lot of luck and has cultivated a persona that maximises his appeal. His devout fans feel he is a legendary fighter while a third view might be a combination of these poles. It is true that Hatton is lucky and very unique to have such loyal fans that they fly across the world in thousands to see him fight. However, it is not surprising as Hatton, like Pacquiao, is keen to be loyal to his roots and make his constituency happy. He feels he has a duty to his fans that reminds us of the importance of community. Boxing is many things but if there is one thing Hatton has demonstrated, it is that being approachable to people from the street is very refreshing from a top athlete and can win him dividends.
Outside of Hattons warm and humorous personality, he was tireless in the ring and always gave his best effort. He beat some great fighters outside of their primes like Castillo and Tszyu and some good ones in Ray Oliveira, Ben Tackie, Eamonn Magee and Vince Phillips but his lifestyle, courage and limitations were his shortcomings at the highest level. It was a testament that Hatton dared to be great as he picked himself up after the Mayweather loss and put himself back in contention to fight for the prestigious pound for pound moniker again. In retrospect, his win over Paulie Malinaggi was inflated as he would have walked through the New Yorker without Floyd Mayweather Seniors refinements as Malinaggi did not have the power to stop him. Similarly, the appointment of Mayweather Senior, although clever at the time, was not as sound as one hoped and reports persist about Mayweathers lack of interest in Hattons training prior to Pacquiao. Furthermore, if Hatton had beaten Pacquaio and if Mayweather Jr is to beat Marquez, would there be a rematch with Floyd Mayweather Senior in the corner of Ricky Hatton? I do not think Mayweather Senior would do that against his son.
For me, Hattons career is one of toughness and persistence triumphing over technical deficits. I still maintain that he was more skilful than many people give him credit for and did, at one stage, employ a good jab and strategy. Nonetheless, his inability to do this at his biggest outings was problematic. There will probably be one more big showing in Britain as a farewell bout is probably in order, perhaps against Amir Khan.
For all his flaws, Hatton has won multiple titles and has nothing to ashamed of as he ruled a division for four years, went to America to be the best he could be and has only two losses in forty five bouts against great fighters. There have been worse records and this is why I think he should retire.
