I think this discussion goes beyond "protecting free speech", even though social conservatives as well as business elites always use this as a justification for their ludicrous actions. If I wore a big sign that said the F-word on it, I'm exercising my free speech. However, it would be incredibly indecent, and I would never actually do such a thing because it's self-deprecating and rude to others.

The Bible is the biggest piece of propaganda that ever hit papyrus. There is no God. Goodness is within each of us if we choose to live by it.
I don't object to the Keep Christ in Christmas movement as long as it doesn't impinge on individual liberty. Equally, I vehemently object to the banning of "Merry Christmas" being spoken in schools, etc – and all the symbolism of Christmas being wiped away.
In spite of not having an official religion, the United States was founded on Christian principles – not Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist or otherwise. Those principles are enshrined in our Constitution.
We just observed Thanksgiving. The English settlers who landed at Plymouth Rock weren't called Pilgrims because the label just sounded good to the ear. They were seeking refuge to practice their own religion without persecution.
Therefore, I say…. Live and let live but don't trample on my freedom.
I don't know what motivates these two individuals with placards and scripture. Mr Bentley is willing good will to the community with lights and musical joy. The Salvation Army donation box is right there with it. What more can you ask of this?
Should those two preachers really want to do something worthwhile, why don't they stand outside Walmart, Miller Hill Mall or Target.
The real culprit is the consumer market that American corporations created and the consumer society that has evolved from it.
This false economy is what has broken down families, communities and the economic backbone of our country. The US has exported this consumer-driven economic model around the globe and it has now infected the PRC "China". It won't be long before we're all working to satisfy Chinese demand for goods and services.
Money, money, money. How holy is that?

I'm no scientist, so I won't try to argue that humans are or are not contributing to the climate change phenomenon. That said, people who don't believe that humans cause natural disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes don't necessarily believe that humans should not invest heavily to protect themselves against these natural disasters. So, even if humans are not causing climate change, why wouldn't we invest heavily in protecting ourselves from this naturally-occurring phenomenon? If we can invest in and develop technology, processes and practices which prevent the world from warming, which prevent or delay the next ice age, which prevent or delay the erradication of humans and our way of life from this planet, why would you oppose that?
This is where religion gets a bit sticky. If you follow a belief system which sees the end of the world as we know it as the end game, or a belief that the afterlife is better than your current life, then why would you care if we act in ways that hasten our demise. The motivation of climate-change deniers is the same as the motivation for suicide bombers.

You must think that I sit here on this site constantly refreshing the page in hopes that someone acknowledges my posts in order to validate my existence. In reality I spend my time doing things that are a little more important than following up on any potential responses every five minutes. Apparantly you do have the time, considering the 38 posts you made on this topic yesterday. No, I did not count them, Chrome is nice enough to count them for me.
Apparently you did not read what I said. If you go back and read what I typed you will see that I mentioned the term "Natural Cycle" which is obviously a reference to the fact that this world, does indeed, have climate cycles.
What you completely missed was the part where I stated that we have a negative effect on this cycle. To which I restate; if you do not think we could possibly have a measurable effect on this cycle then you are woefully naive.
Much like a weeble-wobble that does not fall down, the earth has a tendency to right itself when it encounters a change in the percentage of certain elements. But if you give it a little push at the right time, that weeble-wobble will hit the ground.
Since we do not know when that right time is, we should err on the side of caution.
But I digress… Were we not talking about Bentleyville?

Bentleyville could possibly control access to the display if a fee (however nominal) was charged for admission, but Mr Bentley doesn't feel charging an entry fee is appropriate. What if the city of Duluth paid a fee (however nominal) to Mr Bentley to bring his Bentleyville Tour of Lights to Duluth? Wouldn't that accomplish the same effect? Perhaps the City Attorney could then bear some of the legal battle in assuring Mr Bentley that the display they are paying him to bring to Duluth would be "hassle free".

So sad….something nice comes along and predictably, before you know it someone has figured out a way to cause problems. Unfortunately the "sign board" do really believe what their sign says….that you should love and worship god because of your fear of him.
So many of our world and social problems come down to excess fear….we have enough fear thank you without those seeking an enjoyable evening with their loved ones to be told to be afraid….be very afraid.
I'm still trying to figure out why someone I've been told to fear and be very afraid of would deserve my eternal love and adoration.

I agree jessica….I have no trouble with someone practicing their faith….it's the message of "FEAR GOD" that bothers me. Everyone has their own preference on how they wish to view God. Why not "Jesus loves you"? So you bring your kids to Bentleyville and they see the sign "FEAR GOD"…..not sure the kids need that message. If the preachers want to give that message to their kids then fine. On the flip side leave my kids alone and let me worry about how I want them to view God. A lot of people don't believe in God and that's just fine also. Selling fear is just one way to promote your agenda. I don't think scaring kids about God is really helping the preachers cause.

I can't speak to your personal experiences with individuals who may have said hateful things to you. I wasn't there.
That said, you betray your deep-rooted bias by suggesting that most GLBT'ers don't believe in God. Perhaps they don't believe in God the same way you do, but you have no evidence to back up your broader claim. Based on my faith, I think it blasphemous that you present your self as some kind of judge, working on God's behalf to determine who is or is not worthy to be deemed a part of his flock.
As for the Bible, perhaps GLBT'ers believe in most of it, namely the important stuff like the teachings of Christ, but perhaps they also reject certain arhcane references to life-style choices, dietary practices, etc. No one, including you, believes and adheres to every custom and practice prescribed within the Bible. Have you eaten any animals with cloven hooves lately? Do you think mentrating women are "unclean" and should be treated with certain customs during that time of the month? The questions can go on and on like this. Again, I point to the Old Testament, which was corrected in large part by the New.
As a person of faith, I believe generally that the Bible is the word of God. As a scholar and person of sound reasoning, I know that even the parts of the Bible that are in fact the word of God – the words Jesus uttered – were transcribed by humans like you and me. They were then re-written, translated, added to, edited, and on and on and on, by countless other humans, countless time throughout centuries. Ever played the telephone game when you were a kid? Humans are faliable. The Bible we read today was written by humans. While my faith allows me to leap and believe this is the word of God, it is irrational to take that belief as far as to suggest it wasn't influenced by human though in the form it comes to us today.
In losing this basic rationality, we see countless faith-based insitutions losing their followers. In closing your ranks to large populations of God's children, you disgrace his message.

The reason for my faith?
I explain it not well enough… I have been blessed with faith in Jesus Christ- out of love, I suppose.
For those asleep to the gift of faith that always awaits, I would no sooner expect them to comprehend the miracles of Christ than to spot stars in the sky at high noon.
– But the stars ARE there. And so Christ is there for YOU.
Things aren't as bad as you might think, whatever it is you might think about yourself at the end of the day. We've all likely done some pretty unfortunate things in our life, and maybe we've come to feel negative about ourselves in some way…
But that is not God's desire for you. He wants you to set all that aside; He is eagerly prepared to wipe your slate clean, if only you'll ask. -Imagine waking up tomorrow, a new person, freed from the prison of the past. Sound too good to be true? It's not…
God loves you more than you can possibly imagine. He has no negative labels for you; He just wants your love as any father or mother hopes for the love of their son or daughter.

Causing this anxiety on the people who you are trying to 'help' or 'save'…

Fear and anxiety push you away from something, love and understanding pull you closer. If you're preaching fear ("fear god" on their boards is about as clearly preaching fear as you can get), you're not only going to drive people away from that which you want them to embrace, but you're actually leading them the wrong way. Most Religion is all about rules, regulations and unfortunately a good dose of fear thrown in to make adherents tow the line as taught. Spirtuality on the other hand is exactly the opposite from what I've experienced anyway. I was raised in a very religious enviornment by very loving parents, but none the less I personally experienced much of the fear myself……took me many years to get rid of that fear and learning a new way of relating to the "power in the universe" without fearing anything and realizing that anything that separates people, or causes hate, fear or anxiety is not from "above" so to speak, and not a path that serves us well.
But…alas, that's just my own personal experience and I'm not likely to put it on a sandwich board and parade around town loudly proclaiming it. Each person grows in their own way and time….as it should be.

Hugh J, I doubt we'll agree on this subject any time soon….and that's perfectly fine. We're all in a different spot and carrying different baggage, so that's understandable. There is a difference between teaching a general spirit of fear to ourselves and others, and teaching a healthy respect for specific things that can harm you. I too have warned my kids about the harm they could experience with a "hot stove", or driving drunk and killing themselves or someone else. However, in my opinion, this is vastly different than teaching them that the guy who holds all the cards in the ethereal is someone to be feared. Since "god" , or as I call it "the power in the universe" is all encompassing …..that type of fear is a pretty heavy load to carry through life. I've been there and experienced it…..but I can and will only speak for myself here.

Hugh J – I do not post for the sake of popularity votes. I do so to present my viewpoint, to provoke thought in others, to encourage public discourse. I tend to avoid religious topics because of the zealots that populate these pages. In this case, I am defending those who, like me, believe that the preachers have no place at Bentleyville. It is a purely secular, non-commercial gift for all to experience whatever your religion or creed.
You said I have a tendency to be on the wrong side of public opinion. Well, I'm not one to keep a point score but it seems others have proved you wrong.
I'm thankful to those who brought up the FEAR thing. I couldn't have said it better than JESSICA above.
The Pentagon, State Dept and various statesmen since Eugene McCarthy have made scaremongering a way of life in America and much of the clueless public don't even know it. It has fed the defense industry since post WW2 and the fear rhetoric was turbocharged post 9/11. Dick Cheney is still lining his pockets on the blood of American and coalition troops and innocent Afghan civilians.
The CIA, Pentagon and State Dept need a purge and the War on Terror needs to be consigned to history.

While I understand that not only do we live in the midwest (which is about a hair away from the real bible belt), and that the freedom of speech is a building block of our society, I think it's a bit narrow minded of some of the posters out here who think it's okay for the preachers to be preaching because you couldn't hear them for very far in the park.
When there are protesters outside places like Planned Parenthood, everyone gets upset about the rights of the women who go to PP for things like birth control and women's wellness.
So what about the rights of the general public who may not believe in one Devine Spirit that controls us all? Shouldn't we be afforded the same rights as everyone else?
I was at Bentleyville last night and the preachers were just as intrusive, if not moreso than the protesters outside Planned Parenthood. They physically thrust religious tracts at us as we passed them and physically stepped in the way of our movement when we tried to avoid them.
I'm only speaking for myself…but I would be more than happy to pay a small fee to get into Bentleyville in the future if it means avoiding the preachings. It seems that the only reason they're allowed to do this is because it's a free event at the park….so if we all were to go and pay $1 to enter…that makes it no longer a free event…right? So in theory, it should mean they're not allowed to preach there.
Seems like a pretty simple answer to a pretty complicated situation.

Speaking of the paper giving these guys 15 minutes of fame……my dad told me he thinks the preacher Steve (the guy wearing the sign) delivered his DNT up until a couple of years ago. What a small world….delivers the paper and goes on to make headlines! Wonder if Steve still delivers the paper? Or has he retired from delivery?

If these guys showed their Christianity in how they act instead of a signboards and an intrusive loudspeaker, they could "convert" more people. They make God look weird and undesirable (as do a lot of others who say they are speaking "for" God).

Here we go again – a couple of people ruining it for everyone. Mr Bently has done a wonderful thing – spent thousands of dollars of his own money every year to celebrate the season with good clean, wholesome family fun – for years – entirely at his own expense. He partners with the city when it becomes too large for him to handle alone (and the city sees it as a way to draw in tourists) and he is hit with one red tape item after another. All the man wanted to do was open his heart and his display to others – Public park or not, these guys are ruining it for everyone. I'm a Christian and I don't feel the need to confront, haggle, preach, – I have run into these guys & I find them offensive. They were not talking in a quiet tone – they are now, but they weren't before – they were intrusive, loud, intimidating, fear mongers. Once again, we in duluth are so busy being politically correct that we are going to ruin it for everyone.

Another reason why mr Bentley should have stayed In Cloquet. Duluth finds a way to ruin alot of things. I don't blame em one bit for being ticked off with these window lickers walking around offending people that want to get in the Christmas spirit.

This one actually can't be blamed on Duluth. Blame the courts, and blame the religious zealots that think they know whats best for everyone.

I could understand the preaching if Bentleyville was an anti-christian event, however its a family orientated event for fun and helping charity, you would think these wanna be preachers would get the hint that they are about to ruin the fun for thousands along with help for many in need and go preach somewhere else! If kids see their preaching as a negative impact due to it ruined a happy time in their lives what will be their views of Christianity in the future?
I wonder how they would feel if someone stood on the sidewalk in front of their house which is also public property and preached anti christian views? You can bet they would be calling the police in a heartbeat!

If these freak-shows ruin Bentleyville they should be ashamed of themselves. They shout and scream and rant and rave. They were at the Dragon Boat Festival and made my daughter cry when we had to walk by them. I just want to take my family for a nice evening provided by Mr. Bentleyville and these people feel the need to really dampen the mood with their tirades. Their religious views have 2 places, their homes and their churches. Done.

Did any happen to notice, that the Duluth Tribune ran a story on Friday Dec. 14th about Bentleyville`s problem causing street preacher? The preacher was convicted of a 2004 sexual assult on a 13 year old girl, while he was a teacher in Cass county! He is also a manditory regestered Minnesota sex offender!
The Tribune runs that story, but refused to have a "talk about it" attached, AND…they then removed all stories about the street preachers in the online listing of topics at the same time. Go figure.
Talk about trying to curb public input!
That street preacher is a sex offender, and the press wants no comment???? WOW is all I can say!

Georgia Wine
Once you are here, you'll know why the locals are smiling. When we offer you a glass of our wine, you'll realize that you will be holding something as impressive as our mountain landscape. This may be the Peach State, but grapes are our passion, and the clusters in our vineyards produce award-winning wines, which are gaining national recognition and fueling the emergence of North Georgia as a prominent wine region. Come taste a perfect day in Georgia, and discover the passion that you've been missing...
Our mountains provide the perfect place to escape the ordinary and embrace the exceptional. You can be active in your pursuit of outdoor excursions from golfing and mountain biking to back-country hiking, camping, and rafting. We also boast some of the best places for relishing relaxation and indulgence. Experience the luxury of an area bed and breakfast or country inn, browse our antique stores and local art galleries, and savor the cuisine of both casual and fine dining options nestled in our Georgia wine country.
Our mountains combine the perfect terrain, soil, drainage, and elevation necessary for our vineyards to produce wines that reveal this "sense of place," or terroir, which separates our wines from those made in other geographically diverse regions. Our soil composition is very much like that of Italy's Piedmont region, which produces some of the most prestigious wines in the world. Come taste what happens when Georgia sunshine and mountain soils meet Viognier and Merlot grapes…we're certain that you'll be smiling, too.
We are the Winegrowers Association of Georgia, a non-profit corporation organized to promote and market Georgia wine, to improve the market environment for Georgia wines, to increase public awareness of Georgia wines, and to facilitate research in Georgia viticultural and vinification techniques to improve our already noteworthy Georgia wines. Annual members must qualify with a minimum of five acres in Georgia of vinifera or French-American grapes in production, or with a minimum of 1,000 cases of wine produced annually from Georgia-grown vinifera or French-American grapes. Our member wineries are dedicated to these founding principles and our diligent adherence to them validates our declaration of "Georgia's Fine Wine Producers."

As newly elected Chair of the Conclave Board, my work is to continue Conclave's legacy of that as a champion for all radio talent, to the kids who are going to school with hopes of getting into the industry, as well as the talent that have broken into the business and need access to mentors in order to grow.
We are asking ourselves each month what we did to make the lives of the younger generations better.
Conclave is also committed to showcasing the forward thinking leaders within our industry. There are a lot of inventive things happening in radio today – but we don't always see what's going on. Not only will our yearly event in Minneapolis highlight this creativity, we will also offer access digitally to ensure that all that is good about our business is acknowledged.
Let's work together to celebrate our industry and share knowledge to make us even stronger.

Skullcap is a Native American herb used by Indian tribes for its soothing properties. Skullcap, named for its flower formation, acts like a sedative without the deleterious effects of narcotic drugs. It has a relaxing and sleep promoting action which can help to quiet nervousness and treat insomnia. It has also been used in assisting with drug and alcohol withdrawal and has been used for headaches. Skullcap continues to be used as a mild neural sedative which has the ability to relieve headaches and other related pain. Studies have shown that it can tranquilize a restless and excited nervous system. In addition, nervous twitching and muscle spasms were also calmed by skullcap. An added bonus of skullcap is its ability to lower blood serum cholesterol and prevent high blood pressure.

Without a doubt, we're still a long way from discovering the full potential of all the sensors built into the iPhone. Whether it's augmented reality or medical applications, there are tons of things left to be done, and we keep on seeing new apps that just blow our minds.
A good example of this phenomenon is a new app by Modula that's making the headlines today. Called Instant Pulse Rate, its concept is nothing short of incredible. Simply put, it's able to evaluate your current heart rate using nothing more than the built-in camera with flash, and reports are claiming it's actually fairly accurate.
So how does it work? According to its developers, it's not black magic. All you need to do is place your finger on the camera for 10 seconds. Then, by tracking the color changes in the light that passes through your finger (from the LED flash), it can evaluate your heart rate. That's it.
Here is a video demonstration:
Impressive isn't it?
Instant Heart Rate is for the iPhone 4 only, and it's available now for $1.99 on the Apple App Store.

The C.H. Nash Museum at Chucalissa received the New Sponsor of the Year award from the NCCC AmeriCorps this past Thursday at the Winter Graduation Ceremony on the Southern Region campus in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The award recognizes the unique role the C.H. Nash Museum played in coordinating collaborative projects between AmeriCorps Teams and community partners in Southwest Memphis. The eight-week AmeriCorps Teams are housed at the C.H. Nash Museum and conduct service projects at Chucalissa, the Westwood Neighborhood, and T.O. Fuller State Park.
Most recently, the ten members of the Delta 9 AmeriCorps Team spent August and September of 2012 performing service projects in Southwest Memphis. The projects included correcting code violations at the residences of twenty elderly homeowners in the Westwood neighborhood, clearing 7 miles of trails and repairing picnic pavilions at T.O. Fuller State Park, and building a replica prehistoric house at Chucalissa.
In nominating the C.H. Nash Museum, AmeriCorps Delta 9 team member Megan Whelan wrote "This sponsor worked very hard to share the use of this team with two other organizations in the community, and allowed us to complete their projects before working on the museum. This sponsor was passionate about National Service and the importance of this program in the broader context of benefiting a community."
In presenting the award, April Bazzi, Assistant Program Director for the Southern Region Campus of NCCC noted that "New Sponsor of the Year is awarded to an organization that has gone above and beyond the expectations of NCCC, and for this reason, C.H. Nash museum is extremely deserving of this recognition. They have fully engaged our NCCC members in the work by creating a diverse and enriching learning experience. C.H. Nash is a full supporter of national service and knows how to properly utilize AmeriCorps NCCC members as force multipliers. On behalf of the NCCC Southern Region campus, we congratulate you and look forward to the continued partnership!"
Administered through the University of Memphis, the C.H. Nash Museum also engages students in the AmeriCorps Team projects. Mallory Bader, a graduate student in the Department of Anthropology worked with the Team to develop a plan to assure that the code violation work in the Westwood Neighborhood would be maintained into the future. University of Memphis Service on Saturday participants also worked with Team members during a special neighborhood cleanup on Make a Difference Day this past October 17th.
C.H. Nash Museum Director Robert P. Connolly said, "We are greatly honored to receive this award. Our Museum's mission includes being an asset and resource to our community. The AmeriCorps Teams play a critical role in allowing all of our community agencies to carry out that mission."

Arkansas State Police (ASP) declined to investigate the deadly officer-involved shooting, saying the request was not made in a timely manner.
The case was then sent to Jefferson County Prosecutor Kyle Hunter, who recused himself, saying his job depends on maintaining a close-working relationship with PBPD, and that any decision made in this case could negatively affect that relationship.
The special prosecutor was then assigned to the case.

THE BOOK Wild Beauty was Toedtemeier's magnum opus. It contains 134 images that show the Columbia River Gorge's transformation from the primal scene Lewis and Clark witnessed to the developed present. Among the featured photographers is Carleton E. Watkins, the revered nineteenth-century landscape photographer Toedtemeier idolized. Together, the photos tell a story not just of natural beauty but also of the terrible wonder of dynamited boulders and falls now flooded. Wild Beauty is a record of how Portlanders historically have interacted with the landscape, a chronicle of the art of photography, and a study of what Oregon lost—and managed to save. The book won the five-state Pacific Northwest Book Award, and the Oregonian named it the top Northwest book of 2008. The first printing sold out; the second was just released, in March.
THE COLLECTION During his twenty-three years as PAM's curator of photography, Toedtemeier acquired rare, early Oregon and Northwest images as well as those by contemporary photographers working in a range of styles, from the minimalist black-and-white landscapes of Robert Adams to the theatrical fictions of Cindy Sherman and Carrie Mae Weems. The collection now contains more than five thousand brilliantly chosen photos, including those of famous photographers like Ansel Adams, Imogen Cunningham, and Minor White, and of lesser-known masters. "Terry pioneered for the people of Oregon the idea that photographs could be works of art," says the influential Weston Naef, the curator emeritus of photography at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
HIS OWN PHOTOGRAPHS Technically impeccable, fastidiously developed, polished to the smallest pebble on a beach, Toedtemeier's photographs contain a preternatural sharpness and thunder with his passion for the Oregon landscape. His epochal vistas of sea caves, natural arches, and vast rock formations comprise an otherworldly corpus. His art was particularly informed by his scientific eye (he studied geology in college) and by the history of Western photography. Since his death, a patron has bought his work for the Philadelphia Art Museum; his photographs already had found a home at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

Paul Alter received permission to move a studio which is attached to his house, but applications to renovate the building and build a Gunite pool have been tabled.
The Sag Harbor Village Zoning Board of Appeals gave Alter the OK on Tuesday, January 19, to relocate the structure elsewhere on his property at 116 Bay Street, and use it both as a studio and for storage. But on Thursday, January 14, the village's Board of Historic Preservation and Architectural Review tabled his and Gloria Stern's application to install the pool and renovate the building.
In other zoning board news, the board approved an area variance for Thomas and Diane Halton to construct an uncovered porch at their home at 239 Redwood Road and approved 8 East Union LLC and Mario J. Palumbo, Jr. for a lot line modification and re-subdivision of two lots at 8 Union Street and 12 Union Street. The ZBA denied the application of Allan Nathan for an area variance to construct a shed at 18 Glover Street. The board tabled the application of Gena Lovett and Charles Jones for an area variance to build a new house at 74 Hillside Drive.
In other ARB news, the board approved a new awning for Il Cappuccino Restaurant on Madison Street, and tabled an application by Jonathan and Miki Herrick for renovations to the house at 5 Hempstead Street.

The US Treasury has once again refused to call China a currency manipulator. In its semi-annual report on Tuesday it did however state that "available evidence suggests the RMB remains significantly undervalued" and urged China to do further appreciation of its currency against the dollar and other major currencies. If Washington had moved to libel China as currency manipulator, it could have led to US trade sanctions against its key economic partner and the world's second largest economy. During the 2012 US presidential campaign, Republican nominee Mitt Romney had vowed to cite China as a currency manipulator.
The airstrike that killed 12 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them women and children from one family, was not a mistake, the Israeli army said Tuesday, stressing that the attack targeted a "terror operative," AFP reports. The Israeli Defense Force had earlier said that while targeting Hamas' rocket chief it mistakenly bombed the home of the Dallu family due to a technical error.. The strike took place on November the 18th, amidst Israel's offensive against Gaza, killing 10 members of Dallu family, and two neighbors, including five children and five women. The father, Mohammed Jamal al-Dallu, a member of the Hamas police unit charged with protecting important people, was also killed in the strike. On Tuesday the Israeli army claimed that al-Dallu was the target of the raid. "The father was a known terror operative affiliated with the military wing of Hamas," army spokeswoman Avital Leibovich told AFP. "There was no mistake from the IDF. It's tragic when a terror operative is hiding among civilians but unfortunately it is part of Hamas and Islamic Jihad tactics," she added.
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez will return to Cuba to continue medical treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer, AFP cites the country's top legislator as saying on Tuesday. Chavez, who was reelected to a third term as president in October, underwent chemotherapy and radiation therapy in Cuba several months back. The 58-year-old was first diagnosed with cancer in June 2011.
A major ring, smuggling illegal Iranian migrants to Europe, has been busted by police. "In the early morning hours (on Monday), 11 suspects were arrested in Spain and seven in the United Kingdom," Euopol, the Europe-wide police body said in a statement. The gang, operating mainly in Spain was reportedly trafficking Iranian migrants through Turkey to Greece, providing them with false papers. Its thought those being transported were destined for other countries, mainly the UK and Canada.
The head of the 22 member committee, Norman Neureiter, told AP they were trying to see which lessons from Fukushima could be applied to improving safety in the nuclear industry. Neureiter said that collusion between the industry and the regulators, a relationship known as 'the nuclear village', had caused deep-rooted mistrust amongst the Japanese public. A giant tsunami hit the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in March 2011, knocking out power and cooling systems and causing three reactors to partially melt down. More than 100,000 people were evacuated from their homes and are still unable to return owing to concerns about radiation.
Congo's M23 rebels said on Tuesday they will stay in the crucial eastern city of Goma and fight the Congolese army if it tries to retake it. Speaking in Goma, M23 political leader Jean-Marie Runiga said that the rebels will not leave the city of 1 million, the AP said. The International Conference on the Great Lakes Region imposed a deadline for the rebels to depart on midnight Monday. The insurgents seized the city a week ago. Congo's military spokesman Col. Olivier Hamuli called the group's refusal to leave "a declaration of war," adding that the army will resume combat operations.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti has reportedly told his UK counterpart David Cameron to ask the British people if they want to stay in the EU. Monti also suggested that some European politicians would like Britain to leave the EU. Italy has seen Britain as a key barrier to negotiations over a settlement for an EU budget freeze. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said earlier this month that Britain could be left "alone in the world" if it leaves the union. Cameron has not ruled out leaving the EU, although he currently supports the membership.
Two senior policemen in the western Indian state of Maharashtra were suspended Tuesday for arresting two women over a Facebook post. The women had criticized the shutdown of Mumbai for the funeral of powerful rightwing politician Bal Thackeray last week, the AP said. The policemen were suspended indefinitely, and the magistrate who registered the case was transferred to another district. Police also arrested nine men who vandalized a medical clinic run by the uncle of one of the women. The women withdrew the Facebook comment and apologized after they posted the message.
Swedish telecommunications equipment-maker Ericsson is suing South Korean rival Samsung in a US court "for infringing its patents." The two sides failed to reach an agreement after nearly two years of negotiations, Ericsson said. The dispute concerns Ericsson's patented technology that is allegedly essential to several telecommunications and networking standards used by Samsung's products. The lawsuit also focuses on other Ericsson's patented inventions "that are frequently implemented in wireless and consumer electronics products." Samsung's positions were backed up earlier by courts in most of cases in Britain, Japan, The Netherlands and the US in other disputes with the US computer giant Apple.
Sri Lanka launched its first communications satellite SupremeSAT on a Chinese rocket on Tuesday. SupremeSAT, a private company collaborated with China's state owned China Great Wall Industry Corporation. The satellite was reportedly launched on board China's Long March 3B/E Launch Vehicle from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in China. Deployed in the Geo-stationary orbit approximately 36,000km above the surface of the earth, the satellite, built by Thales Alenia Space in France, has a design life of 15 years. A payload of 56 transponders on board SupremeSAT is capable of providing communications services, including broadband Internet, telecom and broadcasting. It will cover parts of the Middle East, South and Central Asia and Australia, the company said.
Russia will introduce strict visa rules for crewmembers from EU aircraft on December 1, Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Anvar Azimov said on Tuesday. The new rules were expected to be valid from November 1. "Mostly, crews had visas. But in some cases they did not, so we decided to… make November a transitional period," Interfax quoted the diplomat as saying. "Russia will stop being flexible on December 1," he said. Moscow has bilateral agreements on visa-free travel for crews with the majority of EU member states. But five or six countries do not have such agreements, Azimov noted. The European Commission has been entitled to hold the negotiations until an accord on easing visa rules is signed, and "it does not allow us to sign bilateral agreements," he said.
Former political rivals in Kenya, Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto, who are facing trial at the International Criminal Court, have announced an alliance for next year's election. The disputed 2007 election resulted in two months of violence, which killed some 1,200 people. Both men, who were on opposite sides at the time, deny the ICC charges that they helped organize forces to attack rivals.
About 100 Taiwanese demonstrators gathered outside the cabinet offices to protest the sale of Asian media mogul Jimmy Lai's Taiwan holdings to a group that includes an outspokenly pro-China businessman. The US$601 million deal involves the sale of the Taiwanese editions of Apple Daily, Next magazine and Next TV to businessman Tsai Eng-meng, banking scion Jeffrey Koo Jr., and Formosa Plastics Group president Wang Wen-yuan, the AP said. Protesters focused attention on Tsai, who made a fortune on the Chinese mainland, and whose China Times newspaper supports Chinese policies. Taiwan Reporters Association head Chen Siao-yi claimed Tsai's participation in the deal would have a chilling impact on Taiwanese press freedoms. "China is having more and more control over Taiwan's politics and economy," she said.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has terminated relations with a supplier that made clothes for the world's largest retailer at a Bangladesh factory where at least 112 people died in a weekend blaze. The Tazreen Fashions Ltd. factory was no longer authorized to produce merchandise for Walmart after the supplier subcontracted work to it "in direct violation of our policies," the US company said. "We will continue to work across the apparel industry to improve fire safety education and training in Bangladesh," Walmart said.
Four people were killed by car bombs in Kurdish areas of the disputed northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Tuesday. One car bomb exploded in a Kurdish area of east Kirkuk, killing two people and wounding seven, AFP said, citing officials. A second car bomb exploded about 10 minutes later in another Kurdish area, killing a Kurdish security forces member and wounding four other people. A third car bomb detonated in the north of the city and killed one person and wounded five. Two roadside bombs exploded in an Arab-majority town about 50km east of Kirkuk, killing two people, and wounding one other. The attacks come a day after the federal government and Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region reached an agreement to ease tensions in disputed areas of northern Iraq.
The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for a failed assassination attempt against Geo TV's anchor Hamid Mir. The group targeted him because he was "promoting secular forces," the AP quoted Taliban spokesman Ahsanullah Ahsan as saying on Tuesday. Police defused a bomb found underneath Mir's car in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, on Monday. The Taliban threatened Mir and other Pakistani journalists last month after their coverage of schoolgirl activist Malala Yousufzai, 15, shot by the militants.
Four Tibetans have set themselves alight in protest at China's rule, foreign media reports said on Tuesday. This takes the total burnings to 21 in November and 85 since 2009. The latest incidents took place on Sunday and Monday, the US-based Radio Free Asia said. Two happened in Gansu province, one in Qinghai and one in Sichuan. Three of the latest protesters, all in their teens or early 20s, died. One person was taken away by police with his condition currently unknown, AFP said, citing the report. London-based campaign group Free Tibet confirmed the incidents, saying that the burnings came as authorities in Qinghai province in northwestern China issued school booklets ridiculing the acts of self-immolation.
Former Israeli foreign minister and opposition leader Tzipi Livni has announced plans to return to politics less than seven months after quitting it. She is launching the party called The Movement, media reports said on Tuesday. The politician was expected earlier to join an existing party or try to form a center-left bloc of parties. Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert met with Livni Monday night, and he may announce his political plans later this week. Israel's general elections are scheduled for January 22.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has said the alliance will oversee the command and control of Patriot missiles to be deployed on the Turkish-Syrian border. Turkey has asked NATO to deploy missile defenses on its border against possible threats from Syria. The command of the missiles will be under the NATO Command Control System, Rasmussen told NTV news channel on Tuesday. The Turkish Defense Ministry earlier said that there were Turkish officials represented in the NATO control system. Huseyin Celik, deputy chairman of the ruling Justice and Development Party suggested that "Turkey will be holding the trigger."
Uganda's military expects the M23 rebel group in the Democratic Republic of Congo to withdraw its forces from the eastern cities of Goma and Sake soon, media reports said on Tuesday. Goma was captured last week, and Uganda mediated talks between the rebels and the government. Uganda's Deputy Foreign Minister Okello Oryem said Tuesday that the rebels need more time as well as reassurance that their grievances will be taken seriously, the AP said. "It's a question of another day or two before the rebels pull out," he added. Bertrand Bisimwa, the political spokesman for M23 said earlier the group would stay in Goma and insist direct negotiations with the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo Joseph Kabila.
Zamoskvoretsky court in Moscow on Tuesday delivered a verdict in the controversial case of wrestler Rasul Mirzaev, who was accused of causing the death of student Ivan Agafonov. Mirzaev was initially accused of "malicious infliction of grave harm to health which resulted in the injured party's death," a penalty which carries of up to 15 years in prison. The prosecutor asked the court to soften the charges to "causing death by negligence." The court on Tuesday agreed with the qualification, meaning that Mirzaev gets a jail term of a two-year restriction of freedom at maximum. The sambo champion is expected to be released on Tuesday, as he had been in the remand prison for more than a year, where each day is counted as two. As Russian nationalist groups protested the possible softening of the sentence near the court building, police reportedly detained leader of the Russkiye (Russians) movement Dmitry Demushkin.
Paraguay will become an oil producing nation starting mid-2013, President Federico Franco has said. The country's researchers have discovered "plenty of top quality oil" in the Cuenca de Pirity area in the Chaco region, west and north of Asuncion, close to the border with Argentina. "Paraguay will not only be a world champion in the production of clean and renewable hydroelectric energy," Franco said on Monday. "Now it will also join the list of oil-producing countries." The exploration was carried out by Pirity Hidrocarburos and US company Crescent Global Oil. Drilling is expected to begin in December.
The British government has chosen Mark Carney, a Canadian, to become governor of the Bank of England. This is the first time a foreigner has been tapped for the position since the central bank was founded in 1694. Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said Carney would apply for British citizenship, the AP said. Carney was appointed to run the Bank of Canada in February 2008 and is respected across the world financial community for his handling of the recession. Canada's banks are rated among the soundest in the world. Carney will move to his new job on July 1.
The remains of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat were exhumed from his grave on Tuesday, Palestinian officials said. French, Swiss and Russian forensic experts will now search for additional clues as to the cause his death. The remains were taken from the mausoleum in the West Bank city of Ramallah and moved to a nearby mosque, the AP said. Palestinian doctors will also take samples from the late leader's bones. The new investigation into Arafat's death was sparked earlier this year after radioactive polonium was discovered on his clothing.

Perfect location.
The bed. I didn't sleep well, since the bed was very firm. But, that's a matter of opinion. My fiancé loved the bed, (he's a firm mattress person).
The motel was very clean, and the location was convenient for us. It's also walking distance to an uncrowded beach. The owner is very nice and helpful, and makes good coffee.
No, everything was fine!
This hotel was a 2 minute walk to the beach.
room was small and the hotel did not seem to be family friendly
Liked the location near a beach. Room had new furnishings, convenient walk to breakfast and comfortable bed.
Noisey air conditioner. Top sheet was too short.
Mostly quiet unless there are kids at the pool, but that is to be expected.
Outdated. Needs a little TLC.
It was clean and it had a lot of activities for our kids to do right on site.
The towels were a little thin and the bathroom could be updated a little, but other than that the room was fine.

Step 1: Get It Together
Epson Salt - Pharmacy, Wal-Mart...
Glycerin - Pharmacy (I got mine at Wal-Mart)
Baking Soda - Almost anywhere
Cheese Clothe - Grocery Store or craft section at Wal-Mart
Water - Plain old tap water will work great!
Essential Oil(s) - Craft and Hobby stores, also check Wal-Mart (for Scent)
Measuring cup
Mixing bowl
Large Sauce Pan
Mold or Form of some shape...
Step 2: Make with tha' mixin'
Dry work
Step 1: Measure out 2 Cups of Epson Salt.
Step 2: Add 2 heaping spoonfuls of Baking Soda
Step 3: Mix dry ingredients
Wet Work
Step 1: Measure out 4 to 5 teaspoons of Glycerin
Step 2: Add 4 to 5 teaspoons of water
Step 3: Add Essential Oil... The amount of oil you use is entirely up to you. Just don't make it too strong.
Step 4: Stir all liquid ingredients until well blended.
Go Time
Step 1: Pour liquid mixture onto dry mix
Step 2: Stir until well blended. The mix will be like wet sand or icy snow.
Also, most fragrance oils found in hobby stores for making soap should do great for this, but it's prudent to be wary when you find oils for home fragrance, candles or incense -- some of those aren't meant for use on the skin at all. The same goes for essential oils themselves; some, like bergamot, aren't meant to be used directly on the skin and too high a concentration of oil in your bath salts could lead to unpleasant skin reactions the next time you're in the sun.
Great instructable though, and much better than pots of salts that always seem to get knocked over right when someone forgets to put the lid back on properly.

tive forcing concept facilitates comparison of forcing calculations between climate models and with benchmark line-by-line radiative transfer calculations.
Radiative forcing is thus one of the more highly quantified methods of determining how the climate system is forced. In addition, observational records are available for surface temperature (space-based monitoring, in situ monitoring, and proxy data) and the radiation balance at the top of the atmosphere. These data provide an important observational constraint on estimates of radiative forcing and temperature response. Furthermore, numerous model and observation-based estimates of radiative forcing have been reported in the scientific literature over the past decades, providing an important historical reference for future calculations.
The radiative forcing concept has also been used effectively in policy applications. The concept is already entrained in the policy dialogue, particularly through the emphasis given it in the IPCC reports. Policy analysts have input radiative forcing into simple climate models, which are used to examine a wide range of scenarios of past, present, and future climate. Comparison between these simple models and the more complex fully coupled models also helps in interpreting causal mechanisms in the fully coupled models (e.g., Murphy, 1995; Raper et al., 2001).
Although the traditional TOA radiative forcing concept remains very useful, it is limited in several ways. It is inadequate to describe fully the radiative effects of several anthropogenic influences including
absorbing aerosols, which lead to a positive radiative forcing of the troposphere with little net radiative effect at the top of the atmosphere;
effects of aerosols on cloud properties (including cloud fraction, cloud microphysical parameters, and precipitation efficiency), which may modify the hydrological cycle without significant radiative impacts;
perturbations of ozone in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere, which challenge the manner in which the stratospheric temperature adjustment is done; and
surface modification due to deforestation, urbanization, and agricultural practices and surface biogeochemical effects.
Land surface modification of heat fluxes and aerosol-induced changes to the precipitation efficiency modify not only the radiative fluxes but also the dynamical (turbulent heat flux) and thermodynamical fluxes (evaporation). These modifications to the climate system fall under the broader umbrella of climate forcings, which include radiative and nonradiative fluxes. Broadening the concept of radiative forcing in this way allows consideration of climate variables that may have more direct societal impacts, such as changes in precipitation. Indeed, the traditional radiative forcing

I checked out a new food establishment the other day, well, new to me. I've been past it several times and each time it's packed but today it wasn't, so I figured I'd check it out. Upon entering, much to my surprise, it was a burger joint. Now, I'm not a big fan of red meat. Matter of fact, I stopped eating it totally about 17 years ago. However, about 15 years ago, I took my son to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. We travelled by train from Washington, DC……21 hours……ONE WAY!! Just before we boarded the train for the return trip, we stopped at a restaurant.  I
(being extremely hungry)
decided to get a big fat juicy steak. Oh, it was so
Gee double O – Dee good!!
 We left the restaurant and boarded the train for the 21 HOUR ride home. Fifteen minutes after the train left the station, my stomach started to freak out! It sounded and felt like a herd of wild elephants were fighting a pride of lions during the migration of the wildebeests on the Serengeti. If bathroom run was an Olympic event, I would have won gold and set a new world record. Talk about a miserable 21 hour ride….. bathroom run, two times a hour for twenty one hours….. bounced up and down, side to side, back & forth. And when I wasn't making a bathroom run, I was trying to fend off this 70 year old drunk woman who thought I was cute! Rather than going through that type of misery again, I decided to eat red meat once a month. So, I ordered a bacon burger combo…..burger with bacon, regular fries, and a regular drink. Paid with a credit card, got my receipt and waited for my grub…..and waited…….and waited…..and waited. While waiting, I looked at my receipt. "Hey, hold up…..'cuse me ma'am, uh, you made a mistake………you charged me $10.27, I got the bacon burger combo, that's  $5.89." She said, "sir….we don't sell combo's. You buy everything a la carte."  I'm thinking…..A LA CARTE? What is this, Chez (Shay) Burger? Oh, we French now huh! So, I'm standing there with my mouth open, looking at the
a la carte
menu…….waiting……waiting…….and waiting for my grub. Then it dawns on me, I just paid over $10 for a burger, fries and a soda! WHAT THE……! OH THIS BETTER BE THE BEST BURGER EVER MADE OR THOUGHT OF IN THE NEXT TEN LIFETIMES! TEN DOLLARS!!! WHAT'S THE NAME OF THIS PLACE!!  FIVE GUYS?!? Oh! That's the problem! You see, there's only ONE Burger King, ONE Wendy, ONE Carl's Jr. and ONE Ronald McDonald but there are FIVE guys……..that's TWO DOLLARS A GUY. Get rid of some of those guys and reduce the price.  Suggestion….why not call it "This Guy" or "Him" or "Guy with Burger" or even "His'n!" C'mon man…..Ten Dollars! Child Please!!

Luanda — The Angolan ambassador to the Arab Republic of Egypt, Hendrick Vaal Neto, Saturday in Cairo, received the special envoy of Egyptian president, Housni Moubarak, Kamal C. Omar, from whom he got congratulation for the 31st anniversary of National Independence being celebrated Saturday (today).
The Angolan diplomat said that it has been a routine by the Egyptian head of state to send an envoy of the North African country's presidency of Republic, conveying a message of congratulation, when some diplomatic representatives, to his country, celebrate their national holiday.
The Egyptian envoy, Kamal Omar, transmitted to the Angolan diplomat the will of his country's authorities to strengthen bilateral cooperation as well as the relations between the two states and their respective peoples.
He recalled that Egypt and Angola are two powers in Africa, although geographically separated but politically are closed together as they have the same goals, adding that Angola plays a leading role on the continent and the strengthening of relations between the two countries should deserve attention by both governments and states.
Hendrich Vaal Neto conveyed the will of Angola and president, Jose Eduardo dos Santos, in strengthening and boosting more and more the relations in different domains of socio-economic and political life.

Hush Puppy Chicken
I remember Sunday night family dinners at the deli. Hush puppies, knish encrusted hot dogs on a stick, a kid's soul food, was always on my crave list. This chicken dish reminds me of that delicacy with an adult twist.
- Prep Time : 20 min
- Cook Time : 45 min
- Ready Time : 1 hour, 5 min
- 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons margarine
- 1/3 cup nondairy creamer
- 1 cup instant mashed potato flakes
- 6 puff pastry squares, or puff pastry sheets, cut into 6 (5- by 5 inch) squares
- deli mustard
- 6-8 ounce pastrami
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to an even thicknes
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a baking sheet. In a medium saucepan, heat the oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 8-10 minutes or until onions are golden. Add the water, salt, and margarine to the saucepan. When margarine is melted, remove the pan from the heat; stir in the nondairy creamer and instant mashed potato flakes. Mix with a fork. Set aside.
Roll out each of the 6 puff pastry squares. Drizzle each with mustard. Lay 3-4 pieces of pastrami in a single layer over the mustard on each square.
Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the mashed potatoes into the center of a chicken cutlet. Roll up both ends of the cutlet towards the center. Place seam side up in the center of the puff pastry. Pull the four corners of the puff pastry square towards the middle to enclose the packet. Place the packet seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat process with all six cutlets. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
