Derry coach Gaiardo resigns after 3 seasons
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Derry football coach Al Gaiardo has resigned for personal reasons after three seasons.
Gaiardo said his leaving the program has nothing to do with the players or administration.
"My dad was recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer and he's going to have surgery," Gaiardo said. "I have to take care of family first. I'll be back someday on the sidelines."
Derry was 0-10 this season and was 3-25 under Gaiardo.

I don't have any experience with any other products like this, I bought it because I bought the Diva Cup. And I'm happy with it!
Smells so great and feels awesome on hands & face! Also use it to clean my diva cup and it works great!
I bought this to use as a natural intimate cleanser, and so far I love it. I'm very sensitive "down there", and usually use the vagisil washes, but I hate the chemicals in them. Glad I found a replacement.
this product smells great, cleans really well, lasts a long time, and is definitely worth the money. i really enjoy that it is a natural cleanser. i have replaced my chemical one with this and i do not regret it. i would recommend this to everyone!
I've been using this for years and years. I use it to wash my diva cup, and it also makes a great face wash. I like the scent, and it's very gentle and non-irritating.
I am very sensitive with the women area so i try the diva wash with my new diva cup and its perfect, 4 months that i use this product and no bad surprise arrive!! Normally if i change soap or put bubble bath in my bath the big V appear!!
Bought this to use with my Divacup but I also use it as a shower gel. It is great for sensitive skin.
Very nice gentle and scent free cleanser for the diva cup. I would definitely buy this again.
Cleans the Diva cup well. I don't want to mess with another cleaner for my Diva since this is made for it.
Love the diva system. Can't believe it took me this long to figure out this was so much better than pads and tampons
Love this product. Great citrus scent. Perfect for cleaning my diva cup.
This product smells nice and cleans well. I think one bottle will last a long time because you hardly need any to get the job done.
I bought this to wash my Diva Cup, and it is exactly as they claim - gentle, scent free and can be used pretty much anywhere! Good product - will buy again.
Bought this for my Diva Cup. It's non-irritating, with a very light citrus scent. Gentle and effective.
bought it for my cup. I love it. Even used it on my hands after I washed my cup. Loved it.
I love this wash, it's gentle and although they claim it has no scent, it has a very light, pleasant fragrance. I love that you can use it not only with your Diva Cup but all over, including your face.
This is a great multipurpose cleanser ...can be used as a body wash, face cleanser and of course for your diva cup :)
I find this cleanser such an improvement from the older type. It's a great gel instead of a lighter liquid that you have to shake to mix together. Great gentle cleanser with a nice mild scent that takes care of the cup and sensitive skin.
Would definitely recommend this for cleaning the Diva Cup. It has a nice light scent & is non-irritating to someone with very sensitive skin. It is also a bargain for the cost, as it is very concentrated.

The ICC CEO says the world body is hopeful of changing the Indian stand by first convincing ICC Cricket Committee chief Anil Kumble about the controversial innovation.
ICC chief executive David Richardson has welcomed the BCCI's increased responsibility within the global body, post the structural and financial reforms that were passed earlier this year. With BCCI president N. Srinivasan also set to take over as the ICC's first chairman, he said he was of the opinion that India's active involvement and accountability, as opposed to mere influence, was encouraging.
Richardson was speaking on the sidelines of the ICC World Twenty20 here on Friday.
"Mr. Srinivasan will come in as chairman only in June. What I like about the position is that, for the first time, the BCCI will be very much part of the governance structure, playing a full role in developing the strategy going forward," Richardson said.
"Their (BCCI's) approach was always to sit on the outside, not to take part in developing strategy. Now for the first time, they have taken the responsibility on their shoulders," he said.
The former South African wicketkeeper addressed a number of other issues, including the IPL, the DRS, and the situation with Associate nations.
The news that the first phase of the IPL would be played in the UAE was recently hailed as a positive for cricket in the region by the ICC. Any support to the BCCI, however, would be limited to anti-corruption efforts, Richardson said.
"Our office is in Dubai, so we have certain facilities which we will make available to the BCCI if they need them. Essentially though, our involvement would be on the anti-corruption side. As we speak, the contract between the BCCI and the ICC ACSU (Anti Corruption and Security Unit) is under negotiation," he said.
The ICC wanted to point out, he added, that "rightly or wrongly, the region (the UAE) sometimes gets accused of having integrity issues. And we wanted to assure everybody that, in that respect certainly, we are keeping a very close eye on the tournament and making sure that it remains above board."
Richardson was also hopeful the BCCI would reconsider its opposition to the DRS, in light of improvements in the technology. Anil Kumble, who chairs the ICC cricket committee, would play a key role in the process, he said.

Ethnic strife continues in western Myanmar city
SITTWE, Myanmar Gunshots rang out and residents fled blazing homes in western Myanmar Tuesday as security forces struggled to contain deadly ethnic and religious violence that has killed at least a dozen people and displaced thousands more.
The conflict pitting ethnic Rakhine Buddhists against Rohingya Muslims in coastal Rakhine state marks some of the worst sectarian unrest in years. President Thein Sein has declared a state of emergency and deployed army troops to restore stability, warning the fragile nation's recent democratic reforms are under threat as it emerges from half a century of military rule.
On Tuesday in the regional capital, Sittwe, police fired live rounds into the air to disperse a group of Rohingyas who could be seen burning homes in one neighborhood. Hordes of people ran to escape the chaotic scene.
"Smoke is billowing from many directions and we are scared," said Ma Thein, an ethnic Rakhine resident. "The government should send in more security forces to protect both communities."
Truckloads of security forces have been deployed in Sittwe for days, and much of the port city was reported calm, including its main road. But homes were burning in three or four districts that have yet to be pacified.
In one, police fired skyward to separate hundreds-strong mobs wielding sticks and stones; in another, soldiers helped move 1,000 Muslims out on trucks to safer areas.
Ma Thein said that some people were running short of food and water, with banks, schools and markets closed. Some small shops opened early Tuesday to sell fish and vegetables early in the morning to residents who braved the tense streets.
The unrest, which began Friday, was triggered by the rape and murder last month of a Buddhist girl, allegedly by three Muslims, and the June 3 lynching of 10 Muslims in apparent retaliation. There are long-standing tensions between the two groups.
The government regards the Rohingyas as illegal migrants from Bangladesh and has rendered them stateless by denying them citizenship. Although some are recent settlers, many have lived in Myanmar for generations and rights groups say they suffer severe discrimination.
The United Nations' refugee agency estimates 800,000 Rohingya live in mountainous Rakhine state. Thousands attempt to flee every year to Bangladesh, Malaysia and elsewhere in the region, trying to escape a life of abuse that rights groups say includes forced labor, violence against women and restrictions on movement, marriage and reproduction.
The conflict poses one the biggest tests yet for Myanmar's new government as it tries to reform the nation after the long-ruling army junta largely ceded power last year. The handling of the unrest will draw close scrutiny from Western powers, which have praised Thein Sein's administration and rewarded it by easing years of harsh economic sanctions.
Human Rights Watch called on the government to "take all necessary steps to protect communities at risk" in Rakhine state and accused authorities of not doing enough to stop the violence.
The New York-based group's deputy Asia director, Elaine Pearson, also questioned Thein Sein's decision to impose a state of emergency, which allows the military to take over administrative functions in the area.

Keep warm function is great. If you don't grab your toast, it goes back down and stays warm for 3 min. Have had many toasters over the years ,and this is the best!
Best Toaster!
By SoCal
from Undisclosed
This toaster does perform on a consistent basis as the product description indicates. We now toast more than ever before. I also no longer have to run back into the kitchen if the item is toasted due to the "keep warm" feature.
Beautiful toaster
By jean47
Like this toaster very much. Works well for toasting bread. The dark setting could be a little higher. You have to push the little bit longer button several times to get English muffins toasted. Like that the toaster is cool to touch. I use it every day.

Shot over the course of five years, the film covers the journey of two friends confronting the toughest challenges of their lives. Jazz on Film: An original blues feminist - "Bessie" By Matthew Goldwasser PhD • May 22, 2015 Frank Masi/HBO When we first think of the blues the images that first come to mind are either the Mississippi delta men with acoustic guitars like Robert Johnson and Son House or alternately the electrified version advanced by Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and urbanized in the likes of Jr. Wells and Buddy Guy among many others. However, lost in our understanding of history is the fact that in the beginning, the most famous of early blues musicians were women. They sold the most records and commanded the most attention although apart from only a few their names have largely been forgotten. Jazz on Film: Charles Lloyd's Transcendent Moments By Matthew Goldwasser PhD • Apr 17, 2015 "The best music causes molecular changes in the atmosphere around the players and their audience. Once you hear the music you are never the same. We go out somewhere and we don't come back the same." -- Charles Lloyd Jazz on Film: Stormy Weather - song and dance celebration By Matthew Goldwasser PhD • Mar 19, 2015 www.moviepostershop.com The 1943 film "Stormy Weather" is a big Hollywood musical with an all-black cast featuring many of the top entertainers of the day. It is also a snapshot into the state of Black America both inside Hollywood and in the United States. That makes this a little bit of a schizophrenic film to review. Jazz on Film: A Studio Romantic, Arif Mardin By Matthew Goldwasser PhD • Mar 10, 2015 From the 1950s to the 1980s Atlantic Records turned out the freshest, most cutting edge and soulful records in Jazz, R & B, Rock and Roll, and Pop music. The brain trust of the brothers Ahmet and Neshui Ertegun along with producer Jerry Wexler and engineer Tom Dowd cranked out one classic record after another, hit after hit and made the label Atlantic synonymous with taste and class in their relationships with the artists. Arif Mardin was the fifth member of that group and is the least well-known but no less influential. Pages1 2 3 4 5 next › last »

Discussion about Division Street name rechange includes UTA's Dulaney
Some panelists at a Tuesday night forum at UT Arlington said changing Division Street's name to honor Martin Luther King Jr. would help Arlington show that it is "progressive" and not racist, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.

Panelists included Marvin Dulaney, UT Arlington history chairman and associate professor.

A Brief History of Sword-and-Sorcery Comics
By Charles Rutledge
Many people are under the impression that sword-and-sorcery as a comic book genre got its start with Marvel Comics' Conan the Barbarian #1, cover dated October of 1970. Conan is indeed the longest running sword-and-sorcery hero in comics, but there were mighty swordsmen in comic books before the big Cimmerian, and there have been many since.
The cover of DC Comics' Showcase #82, from May 1969 actually bills that issue's Nightmaster story as "Beginning A Great New Sword & Sorcery Saga." Nightmaster was a sword-wielding hero who wore superhero-ish blue tights and adventured in an alternate dimension. Issues 82-84 of Showcase feature some of the earliest work of fan favorite Bernie Wrightson.
The subtitle "The Barbarian" had been used before as well, as far back as 1950 in a series called Crom the Barbarian. Crom is of course the name of the god Conan worships, and the character was created and written by comics great Gardner Fox, a writer well versed in the pulps. Crom, a sort of a blond Conan, made his first two appearances in the pages of the Avon pulp magazine Out of this World. Along with traditional prose fiction, the magazine included a 32 page color comics insert. The stories were later reprinted in the Avon comic book Strange Worlds.
Another barbarian appeared in 1966 in a Harvey anthology comic with the somewhat daunting title of Unearthly Spectaculars. Issue #1 featured Clawfang the Barbarian, a post apocalyptic tale of warriors and monsters beautifully illustrated by Al Williamson.
Crom, Nightmaster, and Clawfang are probably the earliest examples of comic book characters specifically geared toward the concept of sword-and-sorcery as a genre, but there were several characters in the history of comics who would fit the genre requirements. Newspaper strips like Hal Foster's Prince Valiant, and Foster's (and later Burne Hogarth's) Tarzan are marginally connected. Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon would fit more into the Sword & Planet genre, as would the comic strip adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter of Mars, by Burroughs' son, John Coleman Burroughs.
In 1955, the first issue of DC Comics' anthology title, The Brave and the Bold, appeared on the stands. The Brave and the Bold #1 contained stories of three historical adventure characters, The Silent Night, The Golden Gladiator, and The Viking Prince. Viking Prince, originally written by Bob Kanigher and illustrated by Joe Kubert was the breakout character, getting most of the covers and taking over the comic entirely for two issues before The Brave and the Bold became a try-out book much like Showcase.
Though originally conceived as a historical adventurer, the Viking Prince fought monsters, magicians, and villains of every type, firmly fitting him into the sword-and-sorcery category. On an odd note, the Prince took part in one of the strangest team-ups in comic book history: he showed up in Our Army at War #162, joining forces with Sgt. Rock and the combat happy Joes of Easy Company. The Prince had been somehow frozen in ice, and was thawed out just in time to help Rock fight the Nazis. They just don't make comics like that anymore.
Kubert was responsible for another character who marginally fits the genre. Marginally because the titular hero was a caveman named Tor rather than a barbarian. His adventures with savage tribes and prehistoric monsters, however, are similar in many ways to some of Robert E. Howard's tales of Conan. The first issue of Tor appeared in 1953. There was also a 3D version of Tor a little later, and the entire series has recently been reprinted in hardback format.
Gil Kane's Blackmark was a Sword-and-Sorcery hero who was conceived before Conan reached the comics, but not actually published until afterwards. Blackmark, another post-apocalyptic saga, was begun around 1968, created, plotted and illustrated by Kane, with script by Archie Goodwin. The story follows the adventures of a genetically altered hero who fights evil in the distant future. Blackmark's saga was originally supposed to appear as a series of mass-market paperbacks, however only one volume was printed, in 1971.
Later Chapters of Blackmark showed up in Marvel's black-and-white magazine, The Savage Sword of Conan. This was fitting because Kane reportedly had sought the rights to produce a Conan comic several years before Marvel, and he would go on to be considered one of Marvel's classic Conan artists. All of Kane's Blackmark work was reprinted in a trade paperback from Fantagraphics Books.
Which brings us back to Conan. The story of how Marvel Comics came to adapt Robert E. Howard's most famous creation to comic books has been told many times, but basically Marvel writer/editor Roy Thomas was responsible for acquiring the rights to the character. Mail from Marvel's readers had indicated that they would like to see a sword-and-sorcery hero in the comics.
Thinking that the rights to Conan, who had been enjoying brisk paperback sales, might be too expensive, Roy initially looked into getting Lin Carter's Thongor of Lemuria. While Thongor did eventually become a comic book series, appearing in 1973 for 6 issues of Marvel's try-out title, Creatures on the Loose, Roy was able to get the rights to turn Conan into a comics hero and the rest is history.
It took a while for the mighty barbarian to find his feet, and the comic was reportedly almost canceled a couple of times in the early issues. (For a more complete account of Roy Thomas and Conan, check out the back pages of Dark Horse's Conan Chronicles reprint trade paperbacks, featuring a great series of essays by Roy.) The original artist on Conan the Barbarian was a young Englishman named Barry Smith, who started off by imitating comics legend Jack Kirby, but quickly developed his own very distinctive style.
The early issues of Conan are a veritable who's who of Sword-and-Sorcery. Roy Thomas not only adapted some of Robert E. Howard's short stories, but also brought in John Jakes to plot issue 13, and for issues 14 and 15 Roy managed to persuade sword-and-sorcery heavyweight Michael Moorcock (with the help of James Cawthorn) to plot a story featuring Moorcock's signature hero, Elric of Melnibone. (More about Moorcock and Elric later). Thomas would later adapt the works of S&S authors Gardner Fox (Kothar) and Norvell Page (Wan Tengri) into Conan stories.
Both Savage Tales and The Savage Sword of Conan are important to sword-and-sorcery readers for other reasons, as well. Articles and interviews were used to fill in the pages in between the comic adventures of Conan and Kazar. These included essays by Lin Carter, Glen Lord, John Jakes and others. Speaking of Jakes, his own blond Conan homage, Brak the barbarian, appeared in comics form in issues 5 through 8 of Savage Tales. The Savage Sword of Conan also served as a showcase for Kull, Solomon Kane, and other Robert E. Howard characters.
Though Conan was an undeniable hit, REH's other sword-and-sorcery heroes didn't always fare as well. Kull, variously known as The Conqueror, The Destroyer, and just plain Kull, managed to rack up 29 issues of his original comic book series beginning in 1971, and 10 more issues of a second try in 1982.
Solomon Kane, Howard's Puritan adventurer, never made it to the big leagues. He starred in issues 33 and 34 of Marvel Premiere, and then later in his own six issue miniseries in 1985.
Oddly enough, the arguably second most popular character to come out of the Marvel Sword & Sorcery boom wasn't, strictly speaking, a pure Robert E. Howard creation. Red Sonja, the She-Devil with a Sword, was based on Red Sonya (with a 'Y') of Rogatine, a character who appeared in the REH historical adventure story "The Shadow of the Vulture." Roy Thomas adapted the tale for Conan issue 23, changing the story's original hero, a German Knight from the 16th century, into Conan, and transferring Sonja/Sonya to the Hyborian Age. Sonja would really come into her own in issue 24, "The Song of Red Sonja."
Sonja would return in the pages of Conan the Barbarian, The Savage Sword of Conan, and finally in her own series in 1977. The original series ran only 15 issues with some impressive artwork by Frank Thorne. As they did with Kull, Marvel would try bringing Sonja back again a few years later, but she never achieved the success of Conan.
Meanwhile, back in the early 1970s, seeing that Marvel had a hit on their hands with Conan, DC Comics decided to re-enter the Sword-and-Sorcery field themselves. They did it in an odd way, introducing comic book versions of Fritz Lieber's classic characters Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser in an issue of Wonder Woman before giving them their own feature in a comic called Sword of Sorcery in 1973. Lieber's stories were adapted by Denny O'Neil and for the most part illustrated by Howard Chaykin. The adaptations were faithful to Lieber's books, but unfortunately the title was canceled after only 5 issues. There would be another attempt to adapt the stories by Marvel comics many years later.
The next big run DC made at the sword-and-sorcery genre happened in 1975. DC was trying out quite a few new titles and several of them were S&S. These included Claw the Unconquered, Kong the Untamed, and Stalker the adjective-less. Stalker did have a subtitle though. He was billed as the man with the stolen soul.
Claw was the most obvious attempt to emulate Conan. Aside from the red metal gauntlet that hid his beastlike namesake, Claw was pretty much a Conan clone from his long black mane to his somewhat shaggy loincloth. The initial issues even featured art by Ernie Chan, one of the most frequent inkers on the color Conan title. Claw ran for twelve issues.
Kong was another cave man character, sort of a younger version of Tor. Enough said. Stalker, as his subtitle says, was a man whose soul had been stolen. His quest was to get it back, of course. Stalker was written by Paul Levitz and drawn by the impressive art team of Steve Ditko on pencils, and Wally Wood on Inks.
Another somewhat odd DC attempt at S&S that came out in 1975 was Beowulf, Dragon Slayer. Yes, THAT Beowulf. Apparently comics fans weren't big on British Literature and Beowulf barely managed to stay on the stands for a year, which was more than could be said for Kong and Stalker.
DC did have one big success in the Sword-and-Sorcery field. Artist writer Mike Grell took a little of Burroughs' Pellucidar, a little of Howard's Conan, and a lot of his own brand of action adventure and created The Warlord. Grell had planned Warlord as a newspaper adventure strip called The Savage Empire, but ended up offering the concept to DC, where he was already drawing titles including Green Lantern/Green Arrow, and The Legion of Super Heroes.
Beginning with the eighth issue of yet another try out book, First Issue Special in 1975, then jumping to his own comic in 1976, Warlord chalked up an impressive 133 issue run, making Warlord the second longest running sword & sorcery comic so far. Warlord told the story of Travis Morgan, a US Air Force Pilot who, while on a Cold War spy mission, veers off course and finds himself inside the inner surface of the Earth. Within our hollow world lies Skartaris, a land of dinosaurs, wizards, monsters, and anything else Grell felt like throwing in, including Atlantis and some science fiction elements.
The series lasted longer than DC's other S&S titles, probably because it was a more original concept. Morgan was a contemporary man, not a Conan clone. He often carried a .44 Magnum pistol in addition to a sword, and Grell worked hard at giving his lead character more of a personality than the average comic book hero. It didn't hurt that Grell was a very talented artist either.
Another successful sword-and-sorcery comic book hero was Gold Key's Dagar the Invincible. The first issue appeared in 1972 and was written by Don Glut and drawn by Jesse Santos. The comic book was actually titled Tales of Sword and Sorcery but the logo "Dagar the Invincible" was much larger on the covers.
Dagar was the last survivor of the nation of Tulgonia, the other Tulgonians having been wiped out by the armies of the evil Scorpio. He spent his life training for vengeance, and set out to be a mercenary swordsman. Mistrustful of humanity, he swore to fight only for pay but, as it turned out, Dagar had a kinder heart than he thought, and he ended up saving folks whether they could pay him or not.
Don Glut was one of the first writers to try and bring some Marvel/DC style continuity to Gold Key, and while his Dagar stories did tend to be complete in one issue, he still carried plot threads over from story to story and managed to link Dagar to some other Gold Key titles, including Dr. Spektor, and Tragg and the Sky Gods. (Tragg was a caveman hero who got involved with Extra Terrestrials. Adam Spektor was a para-psychologist who fought supernatural menaces.) The Dagar stories are full of monsters, magic, and maidens, and they really deserve to be reprinted.
Glut had a second barbarian character at Gold Key named Durak, who appeared in three stories in Spine-Tingling Tales issue 3, a special sword-and-sorcery issue, and who sometimes turned up in the pages of Dagar as well. In a nifty crossover in issue 16 of Dr. Spektor, Durak traveled to the future to fight alongside the good doctor against the evil wizard Xorkon and the Frankenstein monster. Shades of the Viking Prince.
In 1975 an upstart comics company called Atlas brought out two monthly color barbarian comic books, Wulf the Barbarian, and Iron Jaw. Imagine a blond Conan and Conan with a bear trap for a mouth, and you've pretty much got it. Both comics lasted only four issues each. Atlas itself didn't last much longer.
British fantasy author Michael Moorcock is probably best known for his stories of the Multiverse, a series of alternate realities in which various incarnations of the Eternal Champion fight to attain balance against the forces of Law and Chaos. It's fitting then that the comic book career of Moorcock's most famous hero, Elric the Albino, is almost as complex as the Multiverse itself. Within just a couple of years, in the early 1980s, Pacific Comics, Marvel Comics, and First Comics published Elric. He finally settled at First for a series of adaptations of Moorcock's novels. Roy Thomas wrote the adaptations, and P Craig Russell is the artist most associated with Elric in the comics.
Moorcock himself has written Elric's most recent comic book appearances. Elric appeared in a DC Comics 12 issue limited series titled Michael Moorcock's Multiverse in 1997-1998, and recently starred in a four issue series, also from DC, called Elric: The Making of a Sorcerer. Moorcock has had a longtime involvement with the comics industry. He was a comic book writer for the British weeklies, annuals, and digests in the 1950s and 1960s, and he did an Eternal Champion graphic novel called The Swords of Heaven, The Flowers of Hell featuring his character John Daker with Howard Chaykin in 1979.
The edge of the Multiverse seems like a good place to bring this history to a stop. This article is far from all-inclusive. During the writing I learned that Dark Horse had published a four issue mini series in 1990 featuring Robert E. Howard's Cormac Mac Art.
What about the present and the future? I mentioned above that Elric is back in action, and the Albino certainly isn't the only Sword-and-Sorcery character to make a comic book comeback here at the turn of the 21st century. Dark Horse Comics is into the second year of a new Conan comic written by Kurt Busiek and illustrated by Cary Nord. Dark Horse has also just picked up the comics rights to Fritz Lieber's classic Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories.
Dynamite Entertainment has begun publishing a new Red Sonja series. At the time that this article is being written, DC has announced plans to bring back Warlord, and there are reports of the return of Claw the Unconquered as well. The future of sword-and-sorcery as a viable comic book genre seems assured.

Pistorius is granted bail
PRETORIA, South Africa (AP)
Oscar Pistorius has been granted bail and will be freed from custody pending his trial in the Valentine's Day shooting death of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp.
The defense and prosecution both completed their arguments Friday in Pistorius' bail hearing, with the magistrate having had to determine if the double-amputee athlete could be freed before trial or should stay behind bars pending trial.
The prosecution vehemently opposed bail to Chief Magistrate Desmond Nair in a case that has transfixed South Africans and brought international media attention on the nation's justice system and police capabilities.
- Family 'shaken' by bathroom images
- Pistorius investigation to end in Aug.
- Report: Pistorius fined over taxes
- Agent: Pistorius wants to train
- Judge agrees to lower restrictions
- Family: Pistorius 'not suicidal'
- Pistorius: I thought GF was intruder
- Gallery: Scene at the courtroom
- Couch: From thriller to killer?
- Steenkamp a model, law school grad
Pistorius is charged with one count of premeditated murder in the Feb. 14 killing of Steenkamp. He says he accidentally shot her, thinking she was a dangerous intruder inside his home, lurking in a toilet stall off his bedroom.
Pistorius' hands trembled as he said ''good morning, your worship'' as the session began in Magistrate's Court in Pretoria, South Africa's capital. For the first time in the hearing, two representatives of the Steenkamp family were present in court, sitting behind and to the left of Pistorius in the public gallery.
Prosecutor Gerrie Nel called Pistorius' version that he shot Steenkamp accidentally improbable and argued that Pistorius did not have to have planned the killing for days in advance for it to be premediated.
''He planned it that night when she (Steenkamp) locked herself in (the toilet),'' Nel said in response to a question from the magistrate on why Pistorius hadn't staged a break-in at his home to make his story look more believable. ''The fact that we have only one survivor of that tragic night is difficult for the state.''
Pistorius' defense lawyer, Barry Roux, brought up culpable homicide as a possible charge for the first time in the case when answering questions from the magistrate.
''He did not want to kill Reeva. He had no intent to kill Reeva,'' Roux said as Pistorius began weeping again - like he has done for much of his bail hearing.
PISTORIUS' CAREERA look back at the memorable moments in Oscar Pistorius' career.
Roux said it was impossible for Pistorius, as famous as he is and with his prostheses, to escape South Africa before trial and bail should be granted.
''Let me tell you how difficult it is for this man to disappear from this world,'' Roux said.
Prosecutor Nel earlier countered that everyone, whether disabled or famous or otherwise different from the majority, should be treated equally under the law. Nel noted that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is famous but is now holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London to avoid extradition to Sweden to face sex-related charges.
Stephen Tuson, an adjunct law professor at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and a practicing attorney, told The Associated Press that poor health, a weak state case or a disability could be reasons to grant bail to a person accused of murder. But the ''exceptional'' circumstances Pistorius would have to prove to be freed are not established absolutely by law and are applied considering the individual merits of each case.
''(The matter of exceptional reasons) is not defined,'' Tuson said. ''We've had to have this concept expanded by the courts on a case by case basis.''
Pistorius' defense dedicated much of its argument in the bail hearing to questioning the state's case against Pistorius and trying to discredit the police investigation into Steenkamp's shooting. Lead investigator Hilton Botha was removed from the case Thursday following his bungled testimony for the prosecution and replaced by the South African police's top detective, Vinesh Moonoo -- who was in court Friday.
Defense lawyer Roux also stressed Pistorius' disability Friday and said it was one of the reasons why he couldn't easily flee the country.
REMEMBER REEVALook back at the life of South African model Reeva Steenkamp.
''He cannot, cannot go unnoticed through airport security,'' said Roux, adding that Pistorius also needs medical treatment for his stumps and has to have his prostheses adjusted on a monthly basis.
Pistorius' longtime coach Ampie Louw had said before proceedings began that he is considering putting his runner back in training if he is granted bail to allow him to ''get his mind kind of clear.''
Louw said he realizes that the Olympic athlete might not be emotionally ready to give any thought to running.
''The change is that he is heartbroken, that is all,'' Louw said in the courtroom, surrounded by reporters and television cameras. ''For me it is tough to see that. Not to be able to reach out and sit next to him and say `Sorry, man, it was a terrible accident.' But I cannot do it, I must just sit here in court and that's all.
''The sooner he can start working the better.'' said Louw, who was the person who convinced the double amputee to take up track as a teenager a decade ago.
He has been held at a police station in Pretoria since last week, but suspects who are denied bail are typically held in a prison.
Roux argued on Thursday that the evidence backs Pistorius' statement that he shot through a toilet door at his home because he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder, killing her by accident.
''I think there will be a level of shock in this country if he is not released (on bail),'' Roux said in court.
Opposing bail, Nel argued that Pistorius was too willing to shoot. The prosecution says Pistorius planned to kill his 29-year-old girlfriend, a model and budding reality TV star, after an argument in the early hours of Valentine's Day.
''The reason you fire four shots is to kill,'' Nel said.

Lifelong fan of basketball and writer of various things. Thrilled to cover the Los Angeles Lakers for B/R as an NBA Featured Columnist. Hoops stories for Forum Blue and Gold, Searching for Slava, and others. Wrote a book called Coma Dog. Can occasionally be found on twitter @davem234.
Beautifully written piece 12/01/14. Objective and insightful.
Hi David, nice article on Lin vs. Nash but you left out the most important part of the equation. Subs come into the game cold. Starters go right from warmups into the game. A 41 year old with a bad leg needs to go in as warm as possible. Nash will be more effective being warmed up and ready to go as a starter, and much less effective physically coming in cold off the bench - and more vulnerable to pulling muscles etc. D'Antonio discussed this at length last year - maybe the one thing he is right about. In a vacuum I agree with all your arguments about starting Lin, but given Nash's body is breaking down, his best stints are going to be at the start of the 1st and 3rd quarters.
Thanks for becoming a fan, David! I've really enjoyed your writing, especially this most recent piece about the future of Paul George. I love his game on both ends of the court and can't wait to see how he continues to evolve considering he's so young. If you ever have any questions or suggestions about the site, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks again!

Their sound is as big and manic as it's always been, and the melodies as infectious, but the content slinks away from even the prickly personal politics that populated their first singles.

The United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) poses a serious threat to the rights of parents to direct the upbringing of their children, by making the government – not the parent – responsible for decisions that are made for that child.
Colorado's two U.S. Senators have not signed on to co-sponsor S.R. 99 which opposes the ratification of the UNCRC. Our safety net of signatures must increase in case the proponents of the UNCRC are successful and are able to get the UNCRC in the U.S. Senate for ratification.
Please take action and call the two CO Senators and encourage them to sign on to co-sponsor S.R. 99. Feel free to forward this information on to others.
This is not a Republican or Democratic issue. This is an issue for any parent who believes the government does not have the right to mandate what we teach our children in regards to our faith, to education, to medial treatment, etc. If the UNCRC passes, it will make it illegal to teach your children that Jesus is the only way, considering that child abuse. Another example; if your 10 year old decides they don't want to go to church, they can go to court and the courts will have the right to dictate what you do with your 10 year old or any other child.

In Outlook 2007 Power Shortcuts, author David Diskin shares an assortment of time-saving tips and tricks to maximize efficiency and productivity in Outlook 2007. The course covers tips for organizing and sending email, working with tasks, scheduling appointments, and maintaining contact lists. Also included are tutorials on email etiquette, Outlook customization, and much more. A quick reference guide to shortcut keys accompanies the course.
When we first introduce ourselves to someone in person, we tend to give them our business card, but what about email? Outlook allows us to send a contact our own business card or anyone else's through email as an attachment. If the recipient is using any modern email program, they'll be able to save that business card into their own contacts. Let me show you how that works. While composing an email I'll place my cursor where the business card should appear. On the Ribbon from the Message tab I'll choose Business Card and then Other Business Cards.
My default Address Book appears and I can choose the person whose card I wish to insert. Remember that you can type a few keys on your keyboard to jump to a specific contact. After selecting myself or anyone from the Address Book I press OK and the card is inserted visually where my cursor was. Note also that a VCF was attached to the email. This attachment contains all of the contact's information like their email and phone number. The recipient of the email can easily save this to their own contacts.
There are currently no FAQs about Outlook 2007 Power Shortcuts.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
I have an app that is flagged as "Denied" even though the Release Status is Approved - and there is no detail anywhere of why the app was denied.
I can only imagine there must be something wrong with the supplied content, though there were no errors when I submitted the app.
The problem now is that the product status is set as "Draft" with a link "Send for Review", but when I click over the link to submit for review the button is grayed out. So it appears my app is stuck. Either that or it's waiting for review but there are no open tickets. It's very unclear.
Anyone had a similar experience or can suggest where I might find the reason for denial? Or should I just submit another release?
Ticket summary follows:
I had same situation recently with one of my apps, they told me to change icon, and i did, and app stayed in "pending" status, but without any CR and release was approved. I talk to BB guy on JamAmsterdam about it, and he fix it immediately. Contact support, and explain them your problem.
I also had the same problem. They do not explain concrete reason why they denied, just said generally that I should change my icon and GUI.

By Tom Sellar
It negotiates between Andrea Robbins and Max Becher's color photos of East Germans pretending to be Native American squaws and chiefs, and aboriginal Australian artist Fiona Foley's Edward Curtis-like sepia shots of herself dressed as a Seminole in the Everglades. It contrasts Yongsuk Kang's photos of earth flattened by U.S. bomb practice in South Korea with Danwen Xing's images of an American e-waste dump in southern China. And it presents one deceptively stark projectionDakota, by a duo based in Seoul called Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industriesthat manages to embody pure contradiction as well as to endow printed words with startling power. Using great timing, perfect pitch, and spindly black text bopping on a white screen to the beat of Art Blakey, it convinces us we're watching the rant of an alienated American kidand then exposes the narrative as a Korean teen's fantasy.
It's impossible to say which is scarier: the dying mud-clotted giants from The Battle of Little Big Horn, by Ousmane Sow from Dakar, who didn't become a sculptor until he was 50, or the terrifyingly ornamental depiction of midtown Manhattan in flames on Makoto Aida's Muromachi-style folding screen. We can't help but assume that the screen's infinity of Mylar airplanes is a shocking reference to 9-11. But, created in 1996, it's a bit of gilded vengeance carried forward from World War II.
A decade ago, when the predominant artspeak had to do with peripheries versus centers, inspiration versus influence, and appropriation versus derivativeness, a Turkish curator explained to me that kids all over the world grow up in identical housing blocks, listening to Bruce Springsteen, watching Dallas, eating Big Macs. His point, which at the time the smug New York art world didn't get, was that artists outside the U.S. have the advantage because they can pick and choose from among two cultures, adapting and subverting ours while partaking of their own traditions, too. Do they still have the advantage, now that American culture, products, money, and military might are so globally pervasive? The catalog essays make clear that in the real world, all the cards are now stacked in our favor. But as far as art goes, this exhibition suggests a resounding yes.

The core of the sub-Saharan collection was acquired in 1922 through purchases in London, Paris, and Brussels. The following year the Museum displayed fifteen hundred pieces in what was one of the first exhibitions of African art in the United States and which remains the largest exhibition of African art ever held. Most of these pieces were from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and the collections of Kongo, Kuba and Luba art are especially rich.
Today the collection has works spanning more than 2,500 years. It ranges from figurative sculpture, Berber jewelry, and West African masks to East African beadwork, Ethiopian processional crosses, and a contemporary ceramic vessel by the Kenya-born artist Magdalene Odondo. Over a hundred different cultures are represented in the collection.
Among the most noteworthy pieces are a figure of a hornblower—cast in brass for the king of Benin in the sixteenth century—and an ivory gong also made for the royal court in Benin at about the same time. A seventeenth-century figure of a Kuba king is the only one from that period in North America, and a Lulua mother-and-child figure is world-renowned.

Tupac Shakur
I Cry - Poem by Tupac Shakur
Sometimes when I'm alone
I Cry,
Cause I am on my own.
The tears I cry are bitter and warm.
They flow with life but take no form
I Cry because my heart is torn.
I find it difficult to carry on.
If I had an ear to confide in,
I would cry among my treasured friend,
but who do you know that stops that long,
to help another carry on.
The world moves fast and it would rather pass by.
Then to stop and see what makes one cry,
so painful and sad.
And sometimes...
I Cry
and no one cares about why.

I sent this poem to ODIS MARIZETTE while he was locked up back in 2004 five years after my moms death, we exchanged poems back and forth for years.

Cant believe some of the negative comments. I will say that I am white and find Tupac as a huge inspiration. Tupac achieved more in 25 years than most people would achieve in 3 of his lifetimes. To the people writting the hateful comments maybe u should listen to some of his music and you might learn something. Go do something with your life other than adding more negativity to the world. You may not like him but just know that his words have had a much bigger impact on the world than you ever will. The media portrayed him as something evil just because he was never afraid to tell how the world really is. Anytime somebody tries to make a difference and fights for what he believes in, there will always be people who dont like it. That is why his music got labeled as 'gangster rap' not because he was a bad person. (Report) Reply
