Fayetteville woman killed in wreck
Posted: December 12, 2012 at 1:15 p.m.
Arkansas State Police have identified a woman killed in a multi-vehicle wreck on Interstate 40 that disrupted traffic in both directions for hours.
State police say the wreck happened at about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday near Biscoe in Prairie County. A preliminary report says 33-year-old Kristin Jackson of Fayetteville was a passenger in a car that stopped behind a tractor trailer that had also stopped for construction. A third vehicle didn't stop and crashed into Jackson's car, which was pushed into the trailer.
Jackson was killed in the collision and the driver in her car was injured.
Both the eastbound and westbound lanes were closed for hours as workers cleaned up the wreckage.

2014 Winter Olympics: Shaun White pulls out of slopestyle competitionAdd to Favorites | Today
Olympian Shaun White made a big announcement via "Today" Wednesday (Feb. 5) -- he will not be competing in the snowboarding slopestyle event at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, citing the dangerous nature of the event.
"The difficult decision to forego slopestyle is not one I take lightly, as I know how much effort everyone has put into holding the slopestyle event for the first time in Olympic history. However ... the potential risk of injury is a bit too much for me to gamble my other Olympic goals on," White says in a statement.
Slopestyle is a new Olympic event in both skiing and snowboarding that puts competitors on a specially-made mountain trail where they earn points by performing different types of tricks and getting the most height off of jumps.
White fell during a slopestyle training run earlier this week and injured his wrist, which perhaps is what spurred his decision to withdraw. He will still compete in the snowboarding halfpipe competition, for which he is the two-time defending gold medalist.
The Winter Olympics kick off Thursday, Feb. 6 at 1 a.m. ET, live streams available at NBCOlympics.com. The first primetime broadcast is Thursday beginning at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.

StarkvilleŌĆÖs budget woes may be solved, at least for this year.
From now until city officials adopt a budget, bookkeepers will be preparing a financial plan that includes a property tax increase of .45 mill and a $1.50 increase in sanitation fees.
Vice Mayor Sandra Sistrunk, who has, according to Mayor Parker Wiseman, worked ŌĆ£around the clockŌĆØ on the budget, proposed a budget on Monday that would raise StarkvilleŌĆÖs current 19.55 millage rate to 20 mils and thereby allow city officials to staff the new Fire Station No. 5 and consolidate the landscaping division and the public services department with the sanitation department, creating an environmental services department.
No city employees would receive salary increases, but SistrunkŌĆÖs proposal does address internal inequities in pay.
The proposed budget would also finance the salary of additional information technology (IT) staff, another building inspector and another city planner. The city currently only has one of each.
ŌĆ£This proposal starts to achieve the strategic plan the Board of Aldermen and the mayor agreed on over the course of several meetings shortly after taking office,ŌĆØ said Sistrunk, whose recommendation also allows the city to keep its funding for outside contributions to local non-profit agencies and the Mississippi Horse Park, instead of reducing them or cutting them to zero ŌĆö an annual suggestion from Ward 6 Alderman Roy ├ü. Perkins that was taken seriously by some aldermen during last weekŌĆÖs meeting.
Discussions that involved cutting funds to entities such as the Oktibbeha County Heritage Museum and the Starkville Public Library bred an outspoken group of library supporters and employees, who entreated the board Monday to keep its contribution to ŌĆ£one of the basic
things that are offered here in America,ŌĆØ in the words of Dr. Nancy D. Hargrove, president of Starkville Reads, which holds most of its functions at the library.
SistrunkŌĆÖs plan would also pump more life in the deflated ending fund balance, which in three years decreased from $2.5 million to $230,000, and would create an contingency fund of $100,000, in case a time-sensitive need arises such as this yearŌĆÖs sewage maim bust.
After Ward 5 Alderman Jeremiah Dumas seconded SistrunkŌĆÖs motion, Perkins, who has repeatedly said he would not support a tax increase or supporting outside entities, immediately criticized the way SistrunkŌĆÖs proposal was presented.
ŌĆ£It appears that the votes are already in place,ŌĆØ Perkins said. ŌĆ£This is not the way to do the taxpayersŌĆÖ business.ŌĆØ
Perkins said the board approved a budget committee of three, not one.
Ward 3 Alderman Eric Parker, who voted against SistrunkŌĆÖs motion because he could not support a tax increase, responded to PerkinsŌĆÖ claims, arguing that the board was not adopting a budget on Monday.
ŌĆ£Somebody needed some direction in putting these numbers down,ŌĆØ he said.
Ward 1 Alderman Ben Carver said that he worked along with Sistrunk on the proposal, generating a laugh from Ward 7 Alderman Henry Vaughn.
ŌĆ£This is a time sensitive issue,ŌĆØ Carver said.
Carver identified his support for SistrunkŌĆÖs proposal as a bipartisan move.
ŌĆ£The millage rate in Starkville is ridiculously low,ŌĆØ Carver said. ŌĆ£For cities our size, weŌĆÖre the lowest of anybody I could find.ŌĆØ
Parker admitted that a $13 sanitation fee, which is what residents would pay if this budget is adopted, is standard in the area, and that he would support the creation of an environmental services department.
Various residents voice support for tax increase
One after another, citizens asked the board to increase taxes during MondayŌĆÖs meeting.
Milo Burnham bemoaned PerkinsŌĆÖ suggestion to cut all outside contributions to zero, explaining that the Humane Society would have to cut back its spending on food and, thus, euthanize dogs and cats.
ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt want that, but maybe Mr. Perkins does,ŌĆØ he said.
Burnham argued that the city cannot be blamed for Oktibbeha County raising taxes or local public schools raising taxes.
Richard Mullenax lamented StarkvilleŌĆÖs low millage rate in comparison to its peers and cities in other states.
ŌĆ£We donŌĆÖt even pay taxes as far as IŌĆÖm concerned,ŌĆØ he said.
Jim Gafford, who chairs the transportation committee, said that Starkville is dealing with the sins of its past ŌĆö those being past refusals to raise taxes.
ŌĆ£Either we are growing or we are dying,ŌĆØ he said, explaining that the city already functions to its maximum capacity with substandard equipment and substandard space. ŌĆ£I donŌĆÖt see anywhere else that can be cut (in funding).ŌĆØ
Warren Housley said that he doesnŌĆÖt want his taxes to go up, but said he does want city services to survive.

The Melbourne Tigers have balanced their win-loss ledger after over-running the Adelaide 36ers 84-71 at Adelaide Arena on Sunday.
Melbourne overcame early foul trouble and a lean first half to out-score the Sixers 47-23 after the break and record their 10th win of the season.
A strong first half from Adam Ballinger netted 18 points against his old club, Chris Goulding scored most of his 16 points when the match was up for grabs while Liam Rush was next best with 15.
Daniel Johnson finished with 20 points, 12 boards and four steals but managed just five points after the break, Stephen Weigh was next best with 14 while Adam Gibson and Luke Schenscher scored 10 points each.
"That second half was a hell of a half, I thought our guys stepped up their game at both ends of the floor," Tigers coach Chris Anstey said.
"That second half if the team we can be and that second half is good enough to be competitive with anyone."
It was a spectacular opening for Melbourne with Seth Scott (14 points, 11 rebounds) throwing down arguably the dunk of the season over Luke Schenscher.
But disaster struck soon after with Scott collecting his third personal foul and Jonny Flynn doing likewise a short time later.
Flynn made some dramatic hand gestures as he took a premature spell on the bench with his frustration delighting the Sixers crowd.
The home side took a 28-22 lead into quarter time but it could've been more, given they only made 7-of-16 from the foul line.
The second term was a tight tussle with the Tigers stringing together some efficient plays while a no-fuss Adam Ballinger quietly moved into double digits on the scoreboard.
Johnson got the crowd involved again with an intercept and dunk late in the term giving the Sixers' momentum and a 48-37 lead at half-time.
The Tigers brought Scott and Flynn back into the action in the third term and immediately the visitors were a more intense unit on the court, and after eight minutes of the second half Melbourne had claimed the lead through a tough Goulding drive.
A trademark triple followed soon after and Goulding had nine points for the term to lead his side to a 63-59 advantage with 10 minutes to play.
Adelaide's hopes of victory started to fade when the Tigers pushed their buffer out to eight half-way through the final quarter.
The scoreboard pressure got to the home side who struggled for consistency while every Tigers basket prompted fist pumping and celebrating from their excited bench.
Anstey said the way Scott and Flynn "were annoyed on the bench" with three fouls because "they thought they had let their team down".
"They vented a little bit on the bench, got it out of their system …they knew what had to be done in the second half and went out and did it."
Sixers coach Marty Clarke says his team struggled after a promising first half.
"No doubt in the second half they were much more physical - they did to us in the second half like we did to them in the first half," he said.
"There was lots of good stuff early on. Unfortunately we just weren't able to maintain that momentum, that physicality."
Melbourne Tigers 84 (Ballinger 18, Goulding 16, Rush 15)
Adelaide 36ers 71 (Johnson 20, Weight 14, Gibson 10)
Crowd: 5055 at Adelaide Arena

Bottom line – it doesn't matter where you are. You can submit your new logo project, work with The Logo Factory® designers in our client only Factory Floor area, and download your finalized logo files – all without ever leaving your desk! Why should you select our company to develop your new logo? Good question. Selecting a logo designer isn't as easy task. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of design companies plying their trade on the Internet and locally to you. We invite you to explore other options before deciding to work with The Logo Factory. Take your time and compare other company's logo design examples, pricing, professionalism and creativity to ours, but beware of The McLogo Effect or sock puppet websites, unfortunate by-products of marketing online logo services. Take some time to explore our web site, especially our logo design portfolio – the heart of what we do and see how we can work with you on your new brand development. If you decide to work with us, here's how our design process works…
Once you have decided to utilize TLF for the creation of your new corporate logo, we've made it simple to submit your project. Use our online submission form to send us details and initial payment.

You can also contact us through our website or send us a Fax order form. Our submission methods allow you to send us your client brief, the beginnings of your new logo, right to our design department where it will be assigned to one of our talented logo designers. Your designer will take this information (and any other info that you'd like to share) and work up a series of preliminary designs.
Depending on the logo design package that you've selected, your preliminary logo designs will be ready for viewing in 24 hours (Platinum Rush Package) or 3, 5 or 7 business days (Gold, Professional or Entry Level packages). To view these designs simply login to our Factory Floor, a client only 'work in progress' area to view the new material.
Once you've viewed your preliminary designs as a 'starting point', you can continue through the design process, working with your designer, revising and editing your logo until it's completed to your satisfaction (and based on the number of revisions included in your selected package). While revising your logo on The Factory Floor, you can also access our extensive library of technical information, assembled by top professionals in the field with one purpose in mind – to maximize the way that you can use your new logo in various graphic design services. We'll show you how to avoid common, yet costly, mistakes when it comes to reproduction as well as shortcuts to implement your logo right away using common office software.
After you have completed the design rounds of Step Three, you will be the proud owner of your brand new logo. You'll be anxious to start using your new corporate identity right away, so at this point you can finalize your project (through our secure payment forms) and your designer will begin prepping all the formats that are included in the package you have selected. You'll receive editable .EPS vector files, web files (.GIF, .JPG, .PNG) and specially formatted files for use in most Microsoft office software. See our logo help center and logo tutorial library for further information on files that you'll receive and how they can be used effectively.
Rather than waiting for the completion of all your design material, at this point you can download your new files from our web site and begin using your logo design right away. You designer will begin preparing to develop any add-on graphic design material included in your package and send you worksheets for any additional information required (ie: contact info for stationery design, business cards and letterheads) .
Many of our design packages feature add-on design features, such as stationery design (available as an upgrade under our PLUS logo packages) and web 'beauty shots'. After you have finalized your new logo, you can now work with your designer on these projects, all on the Factory Floor, and without leaving your monitor. The design process is identical to your logo design – log in, view material and then suggest revisions. We'll supply you with project-specific work sheets so the design of your add-on and extra features is as streamlined as possible. This is also true if you decide to utilize The Logo Factory to build your corporate identity through Flash Animation and Brochure Design projects.
Our logo design packages start at $395.00.

The Torres Strait is Australia's northern-most frontier, stretching from the tip of Queensland to the southern shores of Papua New Guinea. There are over 200 islands scattered throughout the Torres Strait, and of these 17 are inhabited. The Torres Strait is 150 kilometres across and joins the Coral Sea to the east with the Arafura Sea to the west. Thursday Island, the main administrative centre for the Torres Strait, is the gateway to a diverse culture and vast region. The central islands are picture perfect coral cays; while in the east majestic mountains rise from the ocean. In the far north you'll find a cluster of islands which continue the tradition of trade with PNG coastal villages. Remarkably beautiful, these islands are characterised by unique cultural, linguistic and geographic differences.
Click on the island clusters to the left, for more information on each island.
The Torres Strait culture is traditionally an oral culture - the languages, songs, dances and beliefs of Islanders are passed down verbally through the generations. There are two distinct languages spoken by Torres Strait Islanders. In the Eastern Islands the traditional language is Meriam Mir, while the Western and Central Island groups speak Kala Lagaw Ya.
Under the language Kala Lagaw Ya, there are four dialects - Kulkalgaw Ya, Mabuiag, Kawrareg and Kala Kawaw Ya. The four dialects originate from the following locations:
- Central Islands (Kulkalgaw Ya)
- Top Western Islands (Kala Kawaw Ya)
- Mabuaig, Moa and Badu (Mabuiag dialect)
- Muralag Group (Kawrareg)
Torres Strait Creole is also spoken by most Islanders, which is a mixture of traditional languages and Standard Australian English.
Torres Strait Islanders associate themselves with the land, the sea and the sky. These are interwoven through spiritual beliefs, stories, songs and dances. There are four seasons associated with the wind changes in the environment - Kuki, Sager, Zey and Nay Gay.
KUKI (pronounced Cook-ee):
- North-West winds (strong winds)
- Blows from January until April
- Wet Season (monsoon)
SAGER (pronounced Sa-gerr):
- South-East trade winds
- Blows from May until December
- Dry season
ZEY (pronounced Zay):
- Southerly winds
- Blow randomly throughout the year
NAY GAY (pronounced Nai-gai):
- Northerly winds
- Blows from October until December
- Season when both heat and humidity are at their highest
The 'Languages' and 'Seasons' information above was written with assistance and cultural knowledge from Mr Gabriel Bani and Mr Jeff Waia.

text: I've seen some pretty mediocre reviews for Zoo Tycoon 2, but I think this game goes beyond fabulous. As soon as I purchased the game, I could easily build wonderful zoos with the help of the tutorials, which were easy to understand and showed you all the key points you had to know. The gameplay, graphics, and sounds were 150% better than in the first ZT. The Zoopedia allows for easy-to-read information about all of your animals. This game is perfect for any family. Parents can play with their children, and any child can easily play on their own. Of course, there are a few low points to such a great game. The graphics totally improved from the first ZT, but there can still be improvements made. Sounds could definately be better, and although the appearance of water and biomes improved incredibly, more realistic graphics and motions of the grasses and motion of the water could most definately be improved.But overall, I think Zoo Tycoon 2 and all of the Extension Packs are: -A great family game anyone can play -Fun and educational -Easy to learn and play -and a great game everyone I know loves!

MELBOURNE –- In the 1980s there was a show called Bush Tucker Man, featuring an Aussie outback adventurer called Les Hiddins (a MacGyver meets Bear Grylls character) who impressed us with his passionate knowledge of Indigenous foods. While it was compelling to watch Hiddins survive off the land, for most Australians (city dwellers especially), this was a remote and exotic concept.
Today, the reality of eating from the land is much more palatable, especially with the recent spate of respectable magazines touting foraging as a big food trend. At this year's Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, foraging ( along with fermentation ) was a hot topic. Chef Ben Shewry, a quiet trailblazer in the Melbourne food scene, spoke in length about finding edible wild plants and foods.
But just how edible are these native foods?
In Australia, we colloquially refer to our native foods as "bush tucker." Australia's Aboriginal inhabitants have been eating off the land for centuries. As an environment that sustains them, they treat the land as a fundamental part of their wellbeing. Australians today have much to learn from their traditional practices.
But if you think bush tucker is about witchetty grubs, you'd better not tell that to Julie Weatherhead, an Indigenous food expert and environmental scientist. She rolls her eyes every time the edible insects are mentioned. She's somewhat frustrated with how little Australians know about their native foods.
On the Melbourne food scene, bush tucker has enjoyed something of a niche market, with lemon myrtle and warrigal greens the most well known of Indigenous foods. Lilli pilli jam and native pepper are two more, but more likely to be found in boutique shops and high-end restaurants.
"Chefs don't really learn about it in their hospitality courses," Weatherhead says. "They put a bit of lemon myrtle into something and call it Indigenous food. Some aren't game enough to put it in their dishes, so the flavours are really mild and you're not sure what you're eating."
Weatherhead points out the misconception that Australian native foods are primitive. She says that the Aborigines have been living long, healthy lives for centuries, due to their incredible connection, understanding and respect for the land.
Of course, there are native animals that are edible too (such as kangaroos, crocodiles and emus), but Weatherhead prefers to educate us on the wonders of Australia's native flora world.
Julie and her husband, Anthony Hooper, live and work on their eight hectare Peppermint Ridge Farm in West Gippsland, (about an hour's drive out of Melbourne). They've been running food tours, and land and sustainability courses since 1996.
An ecologist with a degree in environmental science and education, Weatherhead dedicates an area of the farm as her "Living Classroom", to educate people on the multiple uses of bush tucker.
"The joy of bush foods is that they don't taste like anything you've ever tasted before," she says.

Manzarek–Krieger was an American rock band formed by two former members of The Doors, Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger, in 2002. They were also known as The Doors of the 21st Century, D21C, and Riders on the Storm. They settled on using Manzarek–Krieger or Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of The Doors for legal reasons, with acrimonious debates between the two musicians and Doors co-songwriter / drummer John Densmore. They performed Doors material exclusively until the death of Manzarek in 2013.
In 2002, Manzarek and Krieger reunited and produced a new version of The Doors, called The Doors of the 21st Century.[citation needed] The lineup was fronted by Ian Astbury of The Cult, with Angelo Barbera from Krieger's band on bass. At their first concert, the group announced that drummer John Densmore would not perform; it was later reported that he was unable to play because he suffered from tinnitus.[citation needed] Densmore was initially replaced by Stewart Copeland of The Police[citation needed] but after Copeland broke his arm falling off a bicycle, the arrangement ended in mutual lawsuits,[citation needed] and he was replaced by Ty Dennis, who was the drummer with Krieger's band.[citation needed]
Densmore subsequently claimed that he had in fact not been invited to take part in the reunion.[citation needed] The newly configured group performed on several TV shows including The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn.[citation needed]
Legal issues with The Doors name[edit]
In February 2003, Densmore filed an injunction against his former band mates, hoping to prevent them from using the name The Doors of the 21st Century.[citation needed] His motion was initially denied in court and Ray Manzarek publicly stated that the invitation for Densmore to return to the group still stood.[citation needed]
It was reported that both Morrison's family and that of Pamela Courson had joined Densmore in seeking to prevent Manzarek and Krieger from using The Doors' name.[citation needed] and in July 2005 Densmore and the Morrison estate won a permanent injunction, causing the new band to switch to the name D21C.[citation needed] The group then played under the name Riders on the Storm[citation needed] after the title of a song by The Doors released in 1971 as the last track on the final Morrison-era album L.A. Woman. They are allowed to play under names such as "former Doors" and "members of The Doors".[citation needed]
In July 2007, Densmore said that he would not join the reconfigured band unless it was fronted by Eddie Vedder. Densmore said, "I play with Jim. If there's someone of that level, OK. I'm not gonna join them with Ian. That's not to diss Ian, he's a good singer - but he's no Jim Morrison. Eddie Vedder? My God, there's a singer."[citation needed] Vedder previously performed three Doors songs with Manzarek, Krieger, and Densmore at the 1993 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.[citation needed]
Densmore has been steadfast in refusing to license The Doors′ music for use in television commercials, including an offer of $15 million by Cadillac to lease the song "Break on Through (To the Other Side)", feeling that that would be in violation of the spirit in which the music was created. Densmore wrote about this subject for The Nation:
- People lost their virginity to this music, got high for the first time to this music. I've had people say kids died in Vietnam listening to this music, other people say they know someone who didn't commit suicide because of this music.... On stage, when we played these songs, they felt mysterious and magic. That's not for rent.[1]
Ray Manzarek was quoted as saying, "We're all getting older. We should, the three of us, be playing these songs because, hey, the end is always near. Morrison was a poet, and above all, a poet wants his words heard." When Morrison was asked what he would most like to be remembered for, he responded, "My words, man, my words."[2]
Manzarek described the band's sound as Bauhaus music. "It's clean, it's pure. There is a keyboard on one side, a guitar on the other, drums in the middle, a bass line underneath that and the singer up front ... you can hear the words. That's one of the reasons why The Doors' sound is still important today. It's perfectly modern. That's what we wanted."[3]
In August 2008, the California Supreme Court decided not to hear the case involving Krieger and Manzarek's use of the name The Doors in performances over the objections of Densmore and the Morrison estate, so the judgment against Krieger and Manzarek stands.[4]
After 2009, Manzarek and Krieger toured using the names Manzarek-Krieger and Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger of The Doors.
In May 2013, Ray Manzarek died of bile duct cancer.
Changing lineups[edit]
Angelo Barbera left the band in 2004 and was replaced by Phil Chen who had worked with Krieger previously in The Butts Band.[citation needed] On February 16, 2007, Ian Astbury quit Riders on the Storm and relaunched his old band, The Cult.[citation needed] On March 14, 2007, Brett Scallions, former lead singer of the band Fuel, was announced as the new lead singer of Riders on the Storm.[citation needed]
In May 2010, Miljenko Matijevic of Steelheart was announced as their new singer for the US tour.[5] On August 3, 2010, the band announced on their Facebook page that Matijevic would no longer be fronting the band. Dave Brock of the Southern California based Doors tribute band Wild Child became the new singer and front man. In a recent interview with Billboard, Ray stated "We've always been kind of afraid to ask him (Dave Brock) to play with us, because people say, 'Oh, you're using a tribute singer. Now you're your own tribute band,' " Krieger explains. "But then Journey got that karaoke singer (Arnel Pineda) and everybody loved it, so we said, 'If they can do that, we can use David. And he's been great. That's not to say the other guys (the Cult's Ian Astbury, Fuel's Brent Scallions) didn't do a good job, but I think when people come to see Ray and I, they want to see us do the Doors music as it should be done, so why not use a guy who really is an expert? He knows the songs better than we do, really."
Krieger says he and Manzarek also "talk about" recording some new music and even have songs they began when Astbury was working with them. "I think it would be a lot better if (Densmore) would be on it," Krieger says. "We do have some songs that we've worked up. We're just waiting for the right time, but we'll definitely be doing that." He and Manzarek were also looking ahead towards a full-scale world tour to celebrate the Doors' 50th anniversary in 2016.
The band performed in Mexico, Bolivia, France, Israel, Russia, Italy, Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Austria in 2011.[6] In most of the countries they just played one concert, but in Mexico, they played six, in different cities. Forrest Penner subbed on guitar for 2 Mexico dates (Mexico City and Guadalajara) when Robby fell ill. Ray's brother Rick Manczarek of Rick & the Ravens made several guest appearances on guitar throughout the tour.
The band has not released any official albums but occasionally offers CDs of their live shows for purchase after the shows through the DiscLive service.[citation needed] They released a live concert DVD in 2003 titled LA Woman Live as The Doors of the 21st Century. The DVD captured one night of their tour of The Doors' L.A. Woman studio album which the original Doors never undertook due to the death of front man Jim Morrison.[citation needed] Additionally, Ian Astbury recorded the Doors song "Touch Me" in the studio with all three of the surviving Doors members for the Stoned Immaculate: The Music of the Doors tribute CD in 2000. This track remains the closest thing to an official studio track from the reformed group to date. The Doors song "Wild Child" was also recorded by Astbury for the album with his band the Cult, along with Ray Manzarek. There have not been any other studio tracks recorded with any of the other lead singers since Astbury's departure.

The ancient shrine was rebuilt during the third year of Emperor Gia Long's reign (1804), and since then has undergone many restorations.
The shrine was built according to the Chinese character "nhi" (=")" which consists of a three-compartment and two lean-tos in the Front Ceremonial Hall, a three-compartment in the Back Sanctuary. The carving alter, stone stele, parallel sentences which marked the Nguyen Dynasty.
Formerly, the island was a submerged alluvial beach at the mouth of the Bach Dang River. In 1434, 19 elderly people born in the Hoai Duc District arrived here in search of a new land. They based themselves on the earthen roads above the water level and together with the local fishing people, built the dykes.

VIENNA — The top police officials of Austria and Italy said today that the eight gunmen who carried out the Rome and Vienna airport attacks Dec. 27 traveled by train from Yugoslavia, Hungary and probably Switzerland.
Italian Interior Minister Oscar Luigi Scalfaro and his Austrian counterpart, Karl Blecha, met for two hours to share information on their investigations of the attacks, in which 19 people died.
Blecha said the four men who fired weapons and threw grenades at the Rome airport arrived by train from Yugoslavia.
"The four terrorists in Austria that attacked us also came by train," he said--two from Hungary and the other two probably from Switzerland.
Hungary has been assisting in the investigation and provided a picture of a missing fourth man involved in the Austrian attack. Hungary has been noticeably silent as other Warsaw Pact countries attacked the United States for imposing sanctions on Libya.

It sounds exactly like the whining I used to get from my old chrysler when the power steering fluid was low, adding some more always fixed it. However, the fluid level in this car is normal. Do I need a fluid change, is my pump going, or is it some other problem?

grizzly man
is this really enviromentlism, going out and living with wild bears? it is easy to citize the grizzly man. what he did in one
sense was very foolish and he ended up dieing for it, along with his girfriend. he seemed to try and treat the animals
almost has if they were humans. despite the fact that he called himself the defender of grizzly bears most of his
actions seemed motivated by a desire for fulfillment not actually changing anything. these are just a some of the
critisisms heaped upon this man. also you could look at his personality the way he talks and thinks and somewhat
justifiedly ripp the poor man to shreds. yet despite all that i can not help like him. he actually loves what he does.
how many people can you that of? he would live for months more or less by himself out in the woods without any
way off leaving until the plane came back. he spent the rest of his time trying to instill his love of nature in others
mostly children. he was not doing for the attention he was doing because he loved it and because thought it
helped the bears and the wilderness. he died for a cause he believed in. he may have deluded. he may not have
really even had a cause. never the less he was will to die for his cause. he lived his life in nature and tried to show
its beauty to others. compare that to what most people waste their lives on and how can you really critize him.

Strasbourg, 26 December 2010
The Conference of INGOS, meeting in Strasbourg on 6 October 2010 (from 9.30 am to 12 noon), with Jean-Marie Heydt in the chair:
· Adopted the agenda [CONF/PLE(2010)OJ3] and the synopsis of the meeting held in Strasbourg on 24 June 2010 [CONF/PLE(2010)SYN2];
1. Address by the President of the Parliamentary Assembly, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, and exchange of views
· Took note of the address by the President of the Parliamentary Assembly, in which he underlined the following points in particular: co-operation with civil society had to be regarded as a key factor in democracy and was central to the work of the Council of Europe; in these times of uncertainty where he had set the fight against all forms of discrimination as one of his priorities, the President of the Parliamentary Assembly saw civil society as a key ally, which was capable of overcoming the divide between citizens and their political representatives; he listened to the messages which he received from NGOs and took account of them in his discussions with his counterparts, in particular during his visits to the member states; he was pleased that the Conference of INGOs had included discussion of the situation of democracy and human rights in Belarus on its agenda for the present meeting and believed that a non-negotiable precondition for any discussions with the Belarusian authorities was the abrogation of the death penalty in the country, which was the last in Europe still to apply it. In this connection, following the latest executions in spring 2010, the Assembly had decided to freeze all high-level contacts with the Belarusian authorities. However, in his view, the Council of Europe had a moral duty to stand by the country's citizens; as far as the contribution by the Conference of INGOs to the reform of the Council of Europe was concerned, he felt that all institutions in the organisation needed to contribute to the debate and the Assembly had therefore set up an ad hoc committee to look into reforms of its own; lastly, he assured the Conference of INGOs of his full support to make sure that the Council of Europe turned the potential offered by the INGOs to the best possible account in pursuing its objectives.
· Held an exchange of views with the President of the Parliamentary Assembly, during which the questions from the members of the Conference of INGOs focused, in particular, on assessment of the co-operation between the corresponding committees of the Parliamentary Assembly and the Conference of INGOs and of the challenges to the legitimacy of the Conference of INGOs in the context of the reform of the Council of Europe. In reply, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu underlined that co-operation between the corresponding committees was active but that it could be improved, for instance in the area of legislative assistance to member states and the preparation of resolutions. With regard to the reform of the Council, he was against a reduction in the budget of the Conference of INGOs and would notify Secretary General Thorbjørn Jagland accordingly.
2. Contribution by the Conference of INGOs to the Council of Europe reform (discussed in camera from 10.30 am) Recommendation "Menace to democracy within the Council of Europe" [CONF/PLE(2010)REC2]
3. Political situation in Belarus – Adoption of a declaration [CONF/PLE(2010)DEC1]
· Took note of the introductory memorandum by Cyril Ritchie, Rapporteur of the Conference of INGOs on Belarus, setting out a draft declaration by the Conference of INGOs on Belarus;
· Gave the floor to civil society representatives from Belarus, who stressed the following points in particular: Aleh Hulak (Belarusian Helsinki Group) said that, even though political repression was declining in Belarus, that did not mean that the situation in terms of freedoms had improved, as demonstrations were still banned. Journalists continued to be prosecuted by the authorities. The current legislation (article 193/1, which apparently had not been applied for some time) was still problematic because it provided that action on behalf of unregistered organisations was not allowed and the authorities accordingly put pressure on and made threats against certain organisations, especially in the youth sector. Yet the registration of organisations was sometimes refused on apparently formal grounds. There was a campaign calling for the abolition of article 193/1 and another on the holding of free elections. To date, the two campaigns had not come up against any serious obstacles. Co-operation between the authorities and civil society was developing very slowly and, while councils on relations with civil society had indeed been set up, some had been inactive for over a year. In this context, it was vital to continue the dialogue between Belarusian civil society and the Council of Europe, and the existence of the Conference of INGOs was very important here, as the support which it offered Belarusian NGOs helped safeguard them. Nikolai Samoseiko (Union of Belarusian Lawyers, Chair of the Standing Committee on Legislation and Judicial and Legal Matters of the House of Representatives of Belarus) said that civil society and democracy had made progress in Belarus: 977 NGOs and 15 political parties had been registered as at 1 July 2010. Registration of certain organisations had been refused on the grounds that the documents they had submitted had not complied with the legislation, not because of political considerations. Many NGOs had their own websites which were officially monitored only when there were suspicions of violence, paedophilia or pornography. A bill proposing the abolition of article 193/1, which Mr Samoseiko confirmed had not been enforced for a year and a half, was currently being considered by the Ministry of Justice.
· Held an exchange of views with the two representatives, during which the following points were underlined: there were positive developments in terms of intergovernmental activities with Belarus, as demonstrated by the recent roundtable on the death penalty organised by the Directorate General of Human Rights and Legal Affairs of the Council of Europe and by the forthcoming inauguration in Belarus of an exhibition on the abolition of the death penalty. Nevertheless, two executions had taken place this year. There had also not been any progress regarding accession to two Council of Europe groups, namely the Group of States against Corruption (GRECO) and the Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (GRETA). Belarus was also currently in a pre-electoral period, which was not particularly conducive to the consolidation of relations with the Council of Europe. In this connection, no observers from the Parliamentary Assembly had been invited to observe the forthcoming election. Lastly, the support of the Belarusian authorities for the registration of the Belarus School of Political Studies would be welcome.
· Unanimously adopted the declaration on the situation in Belarus.
4. Expert Council on NGO Law – Annual thematic report on Sanctions and Liability in respect of NGOs
· Took note of the presentation by the Chair of the Expert Council on NGO Law, Cyril Ritchie, of the Expert Council's third report [Link to report]. The final version, supplemented by country case studies, would be submitted to the Conference of INGOs in January 2011 for adoption and follow-up;
· Also took note of the reminder by Cyril Ritchie concerning the proposal by the Bureau of the Conference of INGOs that the operation of the Expert Council in its current form be reviewed to see whether or not it should be transformed into a permanent body.
5. Code of Good Practice for Civil Participation in the Decision-Making Process – Proposal for a revised action plan [link to strategy adopted on 1 October 2009]
· Took note of the comments by certain members regarding the need for INGOs to study the document more closely so that they could really promote it in an active and well-informed manner;
· Agreed to continue the activities to promote the code.
6. Activities of the Conference of INGOs in 2010-2011
· Took note of the information provided on the following activities:
9.1 2010 Exchange on the religious dimension of intercultural dialogue (Ohrid, 13-14 September 2010)
9.2 Congress on "Social work as a factor of social cohesion", including a workshop on "the European Social Charter and the concept of social cohesion: modern approaches" (Moscow, 14-15 October 2010)

9.5 "The role of civil society in promoting intercultural dialogue": draft contribution by the Conference of INGOs on the occasion of the Turkish Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers (November 2010 – May 2011)
7. Opinion of the Conference of INGOs on Parliamentary Assembly Recommendation 1908 (2010) on "Lobbying in a democratic society (European code of good conduct on lobbying)": (Link to recommendation and link to opinion of the Conference of INGOs)
· Took note of the information provided by the rapporteur for opinion, Rémi Berthier (Chair of the Verification and Dispute Committee of the Conference of INGOs), who had put together the contributions received from the members of the Conference of INGOs. The opinion of the Conference of INGOs had been submitted to the Committee of Ministers in due time.
8. Other business
· Took note of the information provided on the subject of 17 October 2010, in particular in the area of youth work, and of the existence of a website listing all the activities organised worldwide on that occasion (www.17oct.org).
· Took note of the information that INGO-Service would only hold an ordinary general assembly during the autumn session.
9. Date of the next meeting: to be determined later.

Fashion ID: Lea Michele at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards
While a laidback event like the Teen Choice Awards rightfully attracts more simple, casual looks, we were a bit unimpressed with this year's fashion choices of some of our favorite stars. Come on, you guys — basic black and frumpy frocks just simply aren't going to cut it for one of the liveliest awards show of the year! Thankfully, Lea Michele (Rachel) did not disappoint, as she stepped out in a tropical-inspired number by Indian designer Naeem Khan. The leafy, beaded insets look glamorous and fresh, while the sparkly green shade pops against her tanned olive skin. And since both the hem and necklines were altered from the original version to accentuate Lea's many enviable assets, the show-stealing frock fits her like a glove. Nude accessories and delicate gold jewelry keep the look cute, sexy, and daring without going over the top. Lea Michele nails it again!

You Know I Had Fun So Far Kickin Ass and Taking Names Off The List
Scratch Name inserted, Scratch Another Name Off The List
Its Nothing To The Sure Shot Mark Dimension
I Have had The Honor Of Putting The Blood of others on my hands
But there is Just something More I Want .....the Glory
The Glory of Getting A Bigger Fish Fried in the Pan
You See as I said Just Watch Many have Done just That
Just Watching
Step Up To Feel The Fear, and The pressure of Pain I Apply
Mark Dimension is waiting..........
*Splattered Dream's music plays*
BD: Dimensions asked for it, thats a big fish! Splatters is a monster in his own right, can Dimensions take him down?
BD: Oh my god! I thought Dimensions was done for, but he pulled it out of the bag! And looks like everyone wants a piece of the action!
BD: Here are the tag team champions GodMoney! After challenges not only from the fearsome Collective, but FOG want another shot at their titles.
Rich: So I was talking with TBOZ just recently and it occurs that even though we are receiving challengers from all comers, no one has been able to capture the EWNCW gold! And what does that tell you? That explains that we are the most dominant team here in EWNCW!
-Crowd cheers and whistles-
Rich: Now I have said it before and I will say it again, if there are any more teams that have the cajones to step in the ring with us, we will gladly put our titles on the line. Right TBOZ?
TBOZ: I think that makes for great listening Rich. Now gentleman, calm yourselves down. We know that when you are champions, you are targets. And GodMoney love to prove just how good we are. So we accept both your challenges! We will all step in the ring one day with the titles on the line, and let us see who really has the "cojones" to step up a gear, or whether they are really just attempting to smuggle budgies. And after that match, when we win yet again, may there be no doubt, that it really is beginning to pay big time to be GodMoney.
BD: I like the sound of that! When challenges come from everywhere, why not take them all on at once!

It doesn't take long at all and they also make the perfect gift :)
Here's what you'll need: 1. Acrylic paint / 2. Water / 3. Little pot / 4. Paintbrushes
Paint the entire bottom half of the pot first and let dry. I alternated between using white paint and different colors, but feel free to do what you think is best :) It's your project so just have fun with it!
I went as far as to paint the inside of the pot too, just because soil rarely fills a pot all the way to the top.Next, take your paint bottle and slowly drip paint down the side of your pot.
I tried to keep the globs of paint as skinny as possible, it'll make it easier for you when you go back and clean up the running paint with your paintbrush.
Dip your paintbrush into the running paint and use it to create the same drip effect.
Saturate the brush and gently run it down the pot to achieve this effect. Repeat until the pot is covered.
Once it dries it should look something like this!
Feel free to comment below if you have any questions, I'd love to answer them :)

Reagan Samuel named LSU's first "give a year" scholar
When asked about her greatest accomplishment, Baton Rouge native and LSU graduate student Reagan Samuel quickly answered, "City Year."
As the nation celebrates "Make a Difference" day, the most encompassing national day of helping others, on Saturday, Oct. 22, LSU is recognizing Samuel for the difference she has made, not only at LSU and in Baton Rouge, but also in her year spent in Boston with the City Year program.
LSU graduate student Reagan Samuel is the university's first "give a year" scholar through a partnership with City Year. Samuel spent one year in Boston working with the City Year program while an undergraduate student at LSU.

After her sophomore year at LSU, Samuel wanted a change. She was enrolled as a secondary education major but, felt the need to make a real-world connection to issues that plague the public school system. She decided to take a year off from college and signed up to serve with City Year.
"When I told her (Samuel's mom) about City Year and explained that I would not be making much money while participating, she encouraged me to go and offered to assist me in any way," Samuel said in thanking her mother for supporting her decision. "It was incredibly rewarding to see high school students get excited about social justice and helping others."
For her service, Samuel was awarded LSU's inaugural "give a year" scholarship, a graduate-level scholarship for a corps member, alumnus or staff member affiliated with City Year. Earlier this year, LSU became the first public institution in the nation to reward young adults who commit a year of full-time service with City Year through the "give a year" Partnership.
"We congratulate Reagan as the first of many 'give a year' scholars," said LSU Chancellor Michael Martin. "We look forward to more opportunities to celebrate meaningful service, as a fundamental contribution to LSU's mission."
City Year, a member of AmeriCorps, unites young people of all backgrounds for a year of full-time service, giving them the skills and opportunities to change the world. As tutors, mentors and role models, these diverse young leaders help children stay in school and on track, and transform schools and communities.
Samuel was placed in Boston, where she planned special events and secured donations for City Heroes, a service learning and leadership development program for high school students.
"This was a place where I could learn to make a difference by helping students reach their goals, teaching them to be leaders and civically engaged," said Samuel.
Pete November, City Year vice president of recruitment, admissions and alumni affairs, and LSU Chancellor Michael Martin officially signed LSU's "give a year" Partnership with City Year in March.
Eddy Perez/University Relations
Samuel returned to Baton Rouge and in May 2011, earned a bachelor's degree in English with a minor in history. She is now pursuing a Master of Arts in teaching at LSU. She is also considering a doctorate in education.
Samuel eventually plans to teach in an inner city, high-need school and expects to have more experiences like those in Boston.
"Sometimes you learn a lot more from students than they learn from you," she said.
City Year's "give a year" Partnerships are created with an institution of higher education as an incentive to its corps members to further their education. Scholarships must cover at least 25 percent of tuition costs. LSU's "give a year" scholarship, which is supported by the LSU Foundation, covers 75 percent of tuition costs, and 26 percent of not only tuition but also required fees for resident and non-resident students, respectively. Samuel will receive an award of $2,600 per semester for up ""to two years or four semesters. Additionally, her LSU application fee was waived.
Excitement was Samuel's initial reaction when she received the news that she was awarded the scholarship.
"I believe that anyone who does City Year is hardworking and passionate, so I'm grateful to be found deserving," she said.
Samuel added that the scholarship enables her to focus solely on her program, which she describes as "intense."
"I did not plan on working while completing this program, so I am appreciative of the financial assistance," said Samuel.
As part of LSU's partnership with City Year's "give a year" Program, the university will select one graduate student to receive the scholarship each year for the next three academic years. Recipients are selected by a committee of academic and student life professional staff members. Recipients must be enrolled full-time in a degree-granting, graduate-level program and maintain academic and disciplinary good standing with the university.
The partnership was coordinated and is maintained through the LSU Community University Partnership, with assistance from the Graduate School, Undergraduate Admissions and Student Aid, and Institutional Advancement.
