WAAPA Presents BACK TO THE THIRTIES, Now thru Nov 22
The Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA) Postgraduate Classical Vocal students present the mesmerising Back to the Thirties at The Roundhouse Theatre from tonight, 16 November to 22 November 2012.
Back to Thirties will transport audiences through time in a thrilling aural celebration of the period. From the iconic photographs, letters and speeches of the Depression era, to the heartfelt and hopeful music of the time, with familiar music from George Gershwin, Harold Arlen, Cole Porter and Rodgers and Hart.
The music is in many ways a fascinating reflection of how Americans imagined themselves during this tumultuous time of financial hardships, emerging technologies and the growing populations of cities.
"The music, the stories and the personalities of the time are so rich and colourful. Many of the songs have become recognisable standards over the years, but there are certainly a few surprises." said Adam Mitchell, Director.
Tickets are on sale now from the WAAPA Box Office on (08) 9370 6636 or online at www.waapa.ecu.edu.au.
BACK TO THE THIRTIES plays tonight, 16 November 2012 - Thursday 22 November 2012 (excluding Sunday 18) at 7.30pm at The Roundhouse Theatre, Mount Lawley Campus, 2 Bradford Street, Mount Lawley WA 6050. Full - $30, Concession/Friends - $25 Box Office (08) 9370 6636 or online at www.waapa.ecu.edu.au.

Being a tourist in the '90s involves a whole new set of responsibilities and concerns. According to a study by the U.S. Travel Data Center, for instance, Egypt is having to close some tombs in Luxor because perspiration from the visitors is affecting ancient wall paintings. You can bet your parents didn't worry about the impact they had on their vacation destinations.
Eco-tourism is the buzzword, and it's affecting just about every part of the travel industry to some degree.
It's not a new concept. The term surfaced several years ago, and interest in the subject has been around for much longer. But now just about everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.

Adam likes rocks. And geodes. And stuff like that. And I like Adam. So I agreed to go to the East Coast Gem, Mineral and Fossil Show this past Sunday.
Honestly, I was expecting to be super bored. I find rocks interesting to look at for approximately 30 seconds. But Adam has been a good sport through enough of my planned outings that I figured I could power through this one. And you know what? It was actually kinda neat.
Our first stop was at the mining station where you could sift through a bag of prepackaged dirt for treasures. We were kind of more excited about it than the kids that were standing next to us.
Top left is native gold and the rest are like…rocks and stuff. I don't know the names of anything. Adam ended up getting a small version of one of those trees in the bottom right, it's really pretty.
SPARKLY! Again, I have no idea what this actually is. This blog is really educational and informative.
I remember what this is (aquamarine) because of its price ($96,000).
This contraption is how they cut geodes.
This was a fairly obvious choice for my souvenir – a panda carved from obsidian.
I guess I expected a bunch of rocks and geodes that you'd see at a gift shop at the beach, but it was much more than that. There was a lot of artistry involved and a lot of really interesting jewelry. I'd even venture to say that I'd go again next year!

Bonnaroo 2012: A Recap in Photos
Ahh, Bonnaroo. The music festival that's home to a history of stellar musicians and comedians, the hot Tennessee sun, an overwhelming feeling of love and friendship – and it all takes place on a giant farm. Our very own Claire, Graham, and Kaity took the Bonnaroo challenge and camped out last weekend while taking in amazing performances from acts such as The Temper Trap, Santigold, K. Flay, The Lonely Forest, Aziz Ansari, Childish Gambino, Art Vs Science, Doug Benson, and Graham's personal favorite, Radiohead!
Now that these 3 have had a week to recover from their musical camping adventure, they want to tell you all about it! Here are some photos from their trip (including 3 different photos of Waffle House. What can we say, we love a good WH!):
The Lonely Forest provided one of the Thursday highlights, rocking through songs from their latest Arrows.
Claire and Kaity explored the grounds of Bonnaroo (while sporting some pretty sweet hats!)
The Bonnaroo Experience included some great comedy!
The Comedy Tent (where Comedy Central Presents did some fantastic tapings, and also boasted performances from Aziz Ansari and Colin Hay) had the longest lines all weekend. With great comics and an air conditioned tent, it was definitely the place to be!
We watched some pretty funny movie commentaries at THE CINEMA…
The Movie Interruption for Crank 2:High Voltage included
Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard, and Marc Maron. We sadly missed Kristen's meeting with Merengue Dog.
Look how excited this crowd was for Doug Benson's Movie Interruption!
We gotta eat, ya know? Bonnaroo had some pretty sweet food vendors – "veggie" corn dogs included!
And what's a festival in the South without a good crawfish boil?!
Our view at the What Stage for acts like Temper Trap, Santigold, The Avett Brothers, The Roots,
and headliners Radiohead, Phish, and Red Hot Chili Peppers!
Yes, Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, is one of the coolest dudes of all time.
Bon Iver was "WOW!"
Hula hooping is also fun!
Claire and Matt from WUTK in Knoxville, TN take in some sun during Santigold's main stage performance.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers killed it in their headlining set Saturday night!
Graham's view of the Red Hot Chili Peppers was a little different… and TOTALLY AWESOME!
Another shot from Graham's view of RHCP – Flea's handstand!
You should have seen these sunsets…
Luke, the music director from WXOU in Detroit, MI showed up and gifted Kaity with some vinyl from one of her musical idols, Stevie Nicks. A proper Bonnaoro gift, indeed! (Thanks, Luke!)
Electric Guest put on a seriously awesome performance!
And the #1 spot of the festival – the waterin' hole!
On Friday night, Radiohead melted everyone's faces off. Here they are in pics (the band, not the faces).
Jim from Art Vs Science got his chugging AND his riffing on at the same time during the band's third set of the day.
A view of the farm's dreamy feel.
Phish closed out the madness of Bonnaroo, with a 4+ hour set on Sunday night!
The many views of Waffle House!
(Clearly a big highlight for all three!)
And finally, advice Graffiti – "Don't Be That Girl." Good to note, Bonnaroo!

Flatbread Community Oven - Bend Oregon
We went to supper at Flatbread Community Oven last night.
Flatbread Community Oven Pizzeria - Authentic Neapolitan PIZZA IN BOISE, BEND, and Beyond...
Fine meal.
Wood fired oven. (running at 700 degree's F)
VPN certified pizza napoletana.
Regional business. Started in Boise Idaho, and this store in Bend is their second effort.
We will go back! Enjoyed the pizza, and had a salad and a beer... Good food. Comfortable facility. And right down on the river, so will be great in the summer setting on the deck in the sunshine....
Re: Flatbread Community Oven - Bend Oregon
you think 700 is floor or what?
Re: Flatbread Community Oven - Bend Oregon
If I remember correct, it is a Woodstone oven... and I don't know where they install the sensor for the thermometer...
Re: Flatbread Community Oven - Bend Oregon
Though Flatbread was so good went there a 2nd night while on a mini vacation.
Beautiful restaurant, great food and drinks.
Flatbread is what I want to be when I grow up into a full size restaurant. :)

This week, Mitch Guttman — one of the Broad Institute's first generation of "alumni" — was named to the Forbes "30 Under 30: Science and Healthcare" list of rising stars. This accolade comes on the heels of another prestigious honor for Guttman, who received an NIH Early Independence Award in the fall.
Most likely, German physician Robert Koch never dreamed of genomes. When he died in 1910, Koch certainly didn't know that a century later his work would still have echoes in the research of physicians and geneticists interested in our genes' inner workings and how the code within us leads to disease.
In the following video, Stephen Gire, a researcher in Pardis Sabeti's lab at the Broad Institute and Harvard University, gives us a behind-the-scenes look at a perspective piece he and his colleagues published in Science Nov. 9. In the piece, Gire and his co-authors describe the widespread prevalence and ancient origins of highly contagious viruses such as Lassa and Ebola.
When Liz Rossin began the PhD portion of the Harvard/MIT MD-PhD program in the lab of Mark Daly, a ubiquitous and critical problem in genetic research caught her attention. At the time, researchers had identified more than 150 genetic regions scattered throughout the genome tied to various diseases. Such experiments, known as genome-wide association studies (GWAS), would turn up dozens of regions likely harboring genetic changes contributing to risk of disease, but would not point to specific causal mutations.
For the third straight year, the Broad Institute has been selected by the Boston Globe as one of the "Top Places to Work" in Massachusetts. This honor is an amazing tribute to the entire Broad community and its collaborative spirit.
The Broad Institute is expected to open for normal business hours on Tuesday, October 30, 2012.
By its very nature, multiple sclerosis (MS) is disruptive. It's disruptive at the cellular level, where the body's own defenses attack the nervous system, stripping the protective myelin sheath that covers the nerve cells, causing interruptions in communication between the nerve cells and a deterioration of brain tissue. It's also disruptive at a personal level. Sufferers not only deal with debilitating symptoms that can affect movement, vision, and speech but also face an unpredictable disease path that varies from person to person.
Back when Christopher Newton-Cheh was a postdoctoral fellow at the Broad, he and a group of other postdocs would get together and hold informal, journal club-like discussions. The young scientists would all read one or two recent journal articles and discuss the findings and techniques, helping them stay abreast of recent work in the ever-evolving field of genetics. Over the years, those once small and informal talks among a handful of Broadies have evolved into something open to the wider Broad community.
A layer cake? No, not interactive enough. A spinning wheel? Too mechanistic. What about a film strip? No, that's not quite right either.
Broad researcher Nir Yosef and scientific illustrator Sigrid Knemeyer were in search of the perfect metaphor to communicate the complex scientific concepts encapsulated in a paper by Yosef and his colleagues. The two spoke by phone and over email, exchanging ideas about how to capture the paper's main messages
Five scientists from the Broad Institute and its partners have won federal grants to pursue projects with the potential to transform scientific research and more rapidly bring biomedical advances to patients.
The National Institutes of Health is awarding approximately $155 million to 81 researchers across the country who are pursuing visionary science through its High Risk High Reward program, supported by the NIH Common Fund.

StarClose SE Vascular Closure System Offers Ergonomic Design
Abbott's StarClose SE Vascular Closure System, a next-generation vessel closure device, is engineered to enable fast and secure closure of the femoral artery access site following a catheterization procedure.
Available in the U.S. and Europe, StarClose SE (safe and extravascular) builds upon the design of its predecessor, StarClose, with more reportedly ergonomically-friendly design features. StarClose SE utilizes the same nitinol (nickel and titanium) clip technology as StarClose to close the femoral artery access site after a catheterization procedure. When deployed, the small nitinol clip grasps the tissue on top of the artery around the access site in a purse-string fashion and closes the opening in the femoral artery rapidly and securely with minimal affect to the lumen diameter or the blood flow inside the vessel.
StarClose SE advancements include an intuitive, numbered system, providing visual guidance and audible clicks for each step leading to clip deployment; immediate vessel closure with deployment of a shape-memory clip onto the surface of an artery; and added device stability for the operator during clip deployment.

Civil Union
Jurisdiction / State: Illinois
My fiance and I have been together for almost 5 years now. With the recent approval of the civil union act being passed in the state of illinois we have been thinking about a civil union. We have been thinking about marriage for some time now, however I am in college and receive financial aid and if we were to get married, I would lose my aid. So my question is this, if we were to get a civil union, would that screw up my financial aid or would it not affect it since the federal government doesn't recognize civil unions?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Are you a same-sex couple? If not, you won't be getting a civil union.
Either way, your significant other's income would have to be reported. The government does not have to condone the nature of the relationship when determining your financial need.

OP is in Illinois where the Civil Union Act just became law. In Illinois, the act covers homosexual and heterosexual couples, so OP may enter into a civil union.
As to the FAFSA, the federal government doesn't recognize civil unions, so you wouldn't report your partner's income as that of a spouse. However, I believe that ISAC will probably have a form for couples in civil unions, so check with ISAC.I'm not a lawyer

Del Posto's prime Manhattan location is pricelessly situated beneath the Highline, across from the Chelsea Market and glimmering high-rises. A sloping staircase, inlaid marble floors, and polished woods ensure that the interior is just as posh. Where the sheer vastness of the space might have rendered it cold, rotund balconies, fabric-covered walls, and exquisitely dressed windows add charm and texture. Service is impeccable, reserved, and well-timed—if a seat is vacated, a silver cloche instantly covers the food. Yes, this can all seem as theatrical and old-timey as that tuxedo-clad pianist tickling the ivories, but it is nonetheless opulent. The large Italian menu focuses on the seasons, but is loaded with deliciously humble dishes like crisp porchetta stuffed with pork and herb-seasoned liver atop braised cabbage. Highlights include a rather stylish vitello tonnato, the delicate veal skillfully cut across the grain and topped with a decadently creamy sauce counterpoised with a host of tart, sour capers as well as black squid-ink croutons. Desserts here marry the sweet and savory in unexpected and refreshing ways, as in pumpkin cake with sage gelato, candied pumpkin, and brown butter.

Daniels. It was released on November 19, 1993. The official tagline was "Nature created him. Science perfected him. But no one can control him."
The film's reception was mediocre. However, it was a modest success at the box office, grossing $12.9 million behind a $6 million budget.
|This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (April 2015)
Judy Sanders (Robin Frates), an employee of a genetic research facility named EMAX, contacts TV personality Lori Tanner (Ally Sheedy), planning to meet after work so she can show Lori the atrocities and animal cruelty that go on in EMAX's laboratories. Dr. Jarret (Lance Henriksen), a scientist performing vivisection and genetic altering, discovers the plan and sets one of his experiments on Judy, killing her. Lori arrives at EMAX, but when Judy does not appear, she breaks into the laboratory and films the various animals that are being experimented on. She discovers a Tibetan Mastiff named Max who does not appear to have been experimented on and lets the dog out of his cage. Dr. Jarret discovers that there is an intruder in the laboratory and chases Lori out of the building. Max follows Lori and jumps into her car as she drives away. Jarret immediately goes to the police and complains that his dog has been stolen. Later that day, when Lori goes shopping, a mugger (Thomas Rosales, Jr.) steals her purse. Max chases the thief, brutally kills him, and brings Lori's purse back to her.
Unaware that the dog has killed a person, Lori decides to adopt Max. However, her boyfriend Perry (Fredric Lehne) refuses to allow the dog into their house. He finally agrees to let Max stay, but only if he stays in the backyard. Max can understand human conversations and becomes very protective of his new owner and perhaps more possessive than a normal pet, finds Lori and Perry having sex in their bedroom and tries to attack Perry; most likely understanding that Perry isn't too fond of Max.
Jarrett is questioned by detectives Frankie Kovacs (Robert Costanzo) and Emilio Bendetti (John Cassini) about Max. Jarrett confesses to them that Max is a genetically altered dog, spliced with the DNA of various other animals such as big cats, snakes, chameleons, and birds of prey giving him enhanced strength, speed, and senses. Max is also prone to violent rages, and Jarret regularly gives him a drug to keep him relaxed, but he fears that it won't be long before the effects of the drug wear off.
Max acts as a loyal, obedient and loveable dog to Lori, but when her back is turned he starts wreaking havoc in the neighborhood, terrorizing some local children (though he seemed alright with Lori's young neighbor), devouring a cat, destroying the brake lines in Perry's truck, and murdering a mail man (Rick Barker). All of these incidents go unnoticed by Lori. Perry tries to kill Max by feeding him a poisoned hamburger, but Max smells the poison in the meat and chases Perry out of the house. After Perry escapes in his truck, Max eats Perry's pet parrot out of spite.
Noticing Perry's animosity towards their new dog, Lori decides to find Max a new home. She takes him to a junkyard and leaves him with the owner Ray (William Sanderson), who assures her that Max will be taken to a ranch in a few days. Instead, Ray chains Max to the wall and hits him over the head with a shovel, knocking him out. When Max wakes up, he pulls loose from his chain and attacks Ray, attempting to kill him. Ray arms himself with a blow torch and burns Max's face, but is soon overpowered and killed. Max, now severely scarred, leaves the junkyard and makes his way back to Lori's house. Though unknown to him, Perry was quick to replace Max with a puppy of his choice.
So when Max sees Lori and Perry together and happy with their new puppy Spike, he feels completely betrayed and abandoned by his owner which causes him to go into a rage. He breaks in and confronts Perry, burning his face with acidic urine. Much to Lori's shock, now that she sees the horrors that Max can do. After Perry is rushed to the hospital, the police have heard enough about Max to believe that he is a dangerous dog and arrive at the house to apprehend him, but Max manages to evade them and runs off.
In an attempt to get him back, Jarret kidnaps Lori in the hope that Max will follow. As Jarret drives back to the EMAX building, Max attacks, jumping onto the car and causing it to crash. Lori pulls herself free from the car and runs into the building with Max chasing her into the laboratory where she first discovered him. She grabs a knife to protect herself, but Max is still very angered and ready to turn on her. Lori realizes that despite all the bad things he's done, she can't bring herself to kill Max. Due to the factor that she knows he's a victim of what Jarret has made of him and that she still loves him. It's when Lori gives up that Max sees that his owner still loves him and finally calms down.
Suddenly, Jarret arrives with a pump-action shotgun and tries to shoot Lori, but Max protects her by taking the shot to the chest. Before he dies, Max pushes Jarret onto a large cage and a live wire resting on the cage ignites, electrocuting Jarret and killing him instantly. Lori finds Max's dead body and mourns for him.

There may be hundreds of miles between the borders of Wisconsin and Mississippi, but for Grant Sowell, Tupelo Tea Party coordinator, politics has no borders.
On June 5, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker became the first state governor in U.S. history to survive a recall election. When Walker successfully pushed the state legislature to pass a bill which, among other actions, imposed heavy limits on several state workers' collective bargaining rights, more than one million state citizens lent their signatures to a petition for the recall election.
Sowell traveled to Wisconsin to join the Tea Party's campaign against the recall, and he will speak to the Starkville Tea Party Saturday at 3 p.m. at Fellowship Baptist Church about his experiences.
Sowell said he first developed an interest in helping the pro-Walker campaign when he saw television news broadcasters discussing the election's potential implications across the country. Some of them argued a successful recall could embolden Democrats in other states to recall other Republican political figures, he said.
"To me that sounds ridiculous ... to kick him out of office for living up to his promise of balancing the budget and saving people's jobs," Sowell said. " To me, he's kind of a hero. He's what's right with politics."
Starkville resident Clyde Williams said he disagrees, both with Walker's policies and the TEA Party's stances. Williams said he did not take part in any pro-recall campaigns, but he has a summer home in Wisconsin, routinely conducts business there and has several friends there. He said casting Walker's legislation as a budget repair issue neglects the possibility of local governments raising taxes to compensate, particularly where public education is concerned.
"This is not over," Williams said. "Wisconsin is a very strong pro-education state. There will be decisions and elections by school boards all over that state over the next few weeks and months on whether to try to override state law on how much can be taxed at a local level. The electorate (at the local level) can vote to override it. That is happening over the summer as budgets are finalized at the local level. The county we go to in the summer has four school districts. It's pretty clear two of them will be making that decision... toward July or August."
As different as Williams and Sowell's viewpoints are, they do agree on a few points concerning the recall election. First, Williams said, the recall election created sharp divides in the state.
"It was a very volatile and very difficult situation," Williams said. "Wisconsin's a place I've found to be generally very friendly and very open. This thing really, significantly divided up the citizenry up there: brother against brother, family against family."
Sowell said his campaign team went door-to-door at about 700 homes each day, and he, too, saw his share of the divide in Wisconsin.
"They were either very much for us or not for us at all," Sowell said. "Occasionally, you would have someone that needed a little more information, and they wanted to talk about it."
Second, Sowell said he does not believe the recall election's results play a role in predicting the results of the presidential election.
"I don't put too much into this one race," Sowell said. "I think there's a lot of factors to be determined."
Williams said he does not foresee nationwide fallout from the recall's failure, either.
"It's not a referendum on anything other than Walker's recall," Williams said.
Finally, both said the political activities leading up to the recall election could impact the TEA Party's future in Wisconsin. They disagree on whether that impact will be positive or negative.
Williams said, "I do think the TEA Party, that line of thinking, that level of activity, has created some activists that are probably more inclined to be moderate and centrist. They (also) created a lot of people who are activists who haven't been activists before on the side they are opposed to."
But, Sowell said, "We've seen a tremendous ripple effect that we believe has helped our cause, the private sector. The feeling I got on the ground was that people were grateful for us helping."

A "beer" was a deep shaft, bored far under the rocky surface by the art of man, which contained water which percolated through the strata in its sides. Such wells were those of Jacob and Beersheba, etc. (see Gen. 21:19, 25, 30, 31; 24:11; 26:15, 18-25, 32, etc.). In the Pentateuch this word beer, so rendered, occurs twenty-five times.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Kelsey Grammer Wants His Own Reality Show
Apparently, Kelsey Grammer wasn't satisfied with his brief cameos on RHoBH. According to Us Magazine, the 55-year-old Fraiser star wants his own reality show. Or, more correctly, wants to create his own.
Kelsey has apparently paired up with former VH1 exec Stella Bulochnikov-Stolper to form G3 Productions. The duo will then partner up with Zodiak USA to create and deliver concepts for reality shows to different networks around the globe.
"I knew that Kelsey loved this space and would love to pop some big shows," Bulochnikov-Stolper says. "The idea that he would lend his name and brain and star power to working on some formats was so exciting to me, and then to have a partner like Zodiak to produce them and sell them all over the world — that's really going to produce some fireworks."
Unless these reality shows include Camille and/or their divorce, we think we'll pass. How interesting is Kelsey Grammer without Camille? Our answer: not at all.

Eight charged in corruption case at NJ sewerage authority
MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. — Eight men were charged Wednesday in relation to widespread corruption in a southern New Jersey town's sewerage authority, LoHud.com reported.
The employees allegedly stole equipment and used taxpayer dollars to buy consumer electronics and other personal items.
An audit in December found that the Cinnaminson Sewerage Authority was missing a piece of earth-moving equipment, which police later found on the Scot Run, Pa., property of a father of two sewage authority workers.
A broader investigation found that some of the men had a private business on the side working as sewer contractors for a hotel. They performed the work on authority time and used authority vehicles and parts for it.
Other employees were charged with ordering $44,000 worth of products for their personal use — GPS systems, stereos, vacuum cleaners, all-terrain vehicle tires and George Foreman grills among them — and billing the authority.
"The Authority will not tolerate the type of activities identified today, and has ordered the immediate implementation of additional administrative and operational initiatives to ensure accountability, checks and balances, and ethical behavior in all authority activities," the five-member Cinnaminson Sewerage Authority board said in a statement.

Two people arrested for holding a voter awareness meeting in Chegutu have been released on bail after spending the weekend in custody.
The two were arrested along with Reverend Deve, an elderly leader at the Church of Christ. He was released without charge on Friday.
George Makoni and Gift Konjana were accosted by plainclothes police officers soon after the meeting held at the Church of Christ in Chegutu on February 15th.
The Centre for Community Development in Zimbabwe, organisers of the meeting, said the meeting was an education exercise to encourage Zimbabweans to register to vote in the forthcoming constitutional referendum and the general election.
According to Phillip Pasirayi, the group's national coordinator, Makoni and Konjana are accused of holding an illegal meeting and are being charged under the notorious Public Order and Security Act, which prohibits political gatherings without police clearance.
However Pasirayi said the meeting, which is part of a series, was neither political nor subversive and slammed this latest crackdown on civil society by the state.
He said: "We are not lobbying for a 'yes' or 'no' vote in the referendum but simply sensitising people about the contents of the draft. It is up to Zimbabweans to either embrace or reject the new constitution."
Pasirayi also condemned the three parties in the GNU, saying their attitude seemed to suggest they thought they were the only ones who should be engaging Zimbabweans on the constitutional process.
"Looking at the prevailing environment, we seem to be heading towards an unfree and unfair election, where civil society is not able to meet and discuss issues of national importance, as demonstrated by the meeting in Chegutu."
Makoni and Konjana are being represented by Jeremiah Bamu, of the Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights, and are expected back in court on March 15th.
Prime Minister Tsvangirai's MDC-T party continues to condemn the ongoing attacks on civil society. The party has called for the security laws to be repealed ahead of the polls. An official in the Prime Minister's office said the issue was expected to form part of the agenda during the Principals' meeting held Monday.

By Ray McNultySpecial to American Forces Press Service
BAGHDAD, Jan. 15, 2009 Nearly 900 former members of the "Sons of Iraq" civilian security group officially joined the ranks of the Iraqi police at a graduation ceremony here yesterday.
Numbering 894 men and three women, they are the second class drawn from former Sons of Iraq members to graduate from the month-long police academy course at the Al Furat Police Training Center. Last month's graduating class of 1,031 included 19 female police officers.
"These two graduations are tangible proof that the government of Iraq has kept its promise," Maj. Gen. Khadim of the provincial directorate of police for Baghdad, said through an interpreter. "It offered Iraqi police jobs and training to former Sons of Iraq in recognition of their service. We will continue to extend a salute of respect and partnership to those who wish to serve with us."
Registration has begun for the next class of police candidates, who will begin training before the end of January. Early indications point to another history-making class, which is expected to include nearly 500 female recruits, officials said.
"This transition of Sons of Iraq into the Iraqi police is a visible sign of reconciliation," Army Col. Byron Freeman, commander of 8th Military Police Brigade, said. "Every graduation like today's is a clear sign of progress. This effectively heals sectarian conflict with a sought-after job."
Since Oct. 1, the Sons of Iraq program, previously administered by coalition forces, has been the responsibility of the Iraqi government. At that time, the Sons of Iraq rolls numbered nearly 100,000 throughout the country.

Is this a good guitar to learn on for a beginner??
- Asked by Bill C from Rancho Cucamonga
Squier by Fender® USB Stratocaster Guitar
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Sure. Just make sure that you have a friend (or Guitar Repairer) do a Setup (check neck adjustment, string height, pickup height, intonation, etc) on the guitar. Nothing turns a beginner off like a hard-to-play guitar and no mass-produced guitar comes from the Factory adjusted well.
There are many great guitar apps for iOS including tuners, songbooks, TAB books, and chord and scale encyclopedias that learning is easy. Youtube is awesome.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—If the Ravens have to go on the road in the playoffs, they proved yesterday that they can win anywhere.
Riding a defiant defense and a timely offense, the Ravens did what no team had done in a decade: beat the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in December.
Armed with the NFL's top-ranked defense, the Ravens forced three turnovers and harassed Kansas City quarterback Trent Green with five sacks. Their re-invigorated offense delivered when it was called upon, whether it was an 87-yard touchdown catch and run by receiver Mark Clayton or a nine-minute drive in the fourth quarter.
In the end -- once the NFL's self-proclaimed loudest crowd had stopped its booing -- it was the Ravens' sixth victory in seven games that spoke volumes.
"That's as good a road win that we've ever had given the circumstances," said Brian Billick, the Ravens' eighth-year coach.
Winning double-digit games faster than any other in team history, the Ravens (10-3) still might have to play a couple of games on the road in the playoffs.
With Indianapolis losing, the Ravens are tied with the Colts for the second-best record in the AFC but remain the conference's third seed at this point. The Colts currently have the edge over the Ravens for the No. 2 spot (and a first-round bye) because they have a better record against common opponents.
"At this stage in the season, every game counts and plays a big part in where you go in the postseason," defensive end Terrell Suggs said. "We knew this was going to be a tough one and we knew we had to come in here and take it."
The Ravens' defense allowed the Chiefs (7-6) to cross their 39-yard line six times on the first nine drives and surrendered only a field goal.
Most of the Chiefs' mistakes came because of the Ravens' pressure on Green, who was picked off twice by safety Ed Reed and fumbled when Suggs hit his arm.
Kansas City's only other points came on a meaningless touchdown in the final 80 seconds of the game.
"Our defense has got a lot of pride and passion for what they do," Billick said. "They don't like giving up plays and they've shown a propensity to stiffen when you've got to stiffen."
The Ravens' best stand occurred in the second quarter, when their lead was only 6-0. Three plays after Larry Johnson broke a 47-yard run -- the longest against the Ravens this season -- Reed picked off Green at the Ravens' 6.
"We knew that this was his fourth game back after a concussion and his rhythm wasn't going to be on point," Reed said. "Both of [the interceptions] kind of came to me."
The Ravens, who have given up two touchdowns in their past 15 quarters, brought a fiery determination into the game from a speech given by linebacker Ray Lewis early last week.
His message was they can't be a defense that attains their goal of being No. 1 in the NFL and suddenly become complacent.
"He was saying that it's time to put the pedal to the metal and take it to the next level," linebacker Bart Scott said. "You can't be satisfied."
After watching the defense force three turnovers in the first half, the Ravens' offense decided to take it to the next level.
