Syrians inspect damage at the site of a car bomb in the mainly Druze and Christian suburb of Jaramana on the southeastern outskirts of the Syrian capital on August 28, 2012. (AFP PHOTO/JOSEPH EID)
DAMASCUS: Three shopkeepers seated in front of their shops in the center of the Syrian capital remain engrossed in their conversation, oblivious to three strong explosions nearby.
Thousands of motorists speed away toward the south of the city, passing three army tanks whose barrels point at Nahr Aisha district that bears the scars of a fierce battle.
And in Jaramana, a mainly Christian and Druze-inhabited suburb, youngsters armed with Kalashnikovs and belonging to "popular committees" have set up roadblocks.
They check identity cards and search cars, although their vigilance did not prevent a deadly car bombing in the suburb Tuesday.
Long isolated from the bloodshed that has torn Syria, Damascus has been engulfed in the war since mid-July when rebels tried to capture it before regime troops repelled them.
But the troops have failed to wipe out the rebels despite their far superior firepower, mainly because of the porous borders between Damascus and its suburbs, which have turned into insurgent strongholds.
In the northeastern neighborhood of Barzeh, Ahmad phones his wife every night to know different routes to avoid being caught at checkpoints. But he is often stopped by men whom he is unable to identify as regime or rebels.
"They are very rude and can kill me for giving a wrong answer or if I don't turn my head at them. It happened to a 24-year-old who was shot without knowing by who or why," he says.
In a country where security has become the watchword, clashes, displacement of people, destruction, unemployment and inflation have depressed much of the 5 million people of the metropolis.
"Every morning as I leave my wife for work, I tell myself that if I come back in the evening it is victory over death because now our lives are worth 30 pounds ($0.50), the price of a Kalashnikov bullet," says restaurant worker Michel.
For this Christian employee, who had expected President Bashar Assad to quickly crush the rebellion, the important thing now is to find a negotiated solution.
"When I tell the pro- and anti-regime [people] that I am not with any of them, they listen to only the first part of my sentence and immediately consider me an enemy," he says. "We need all the players to sit at a table and talk without conditions, otherwise the bloodshed will continue."
Mohammad, a 52-year-old Sunni, has a similar view.
Director of a factory in a southern suburb, Mohammad was an enthusiastic supporter of the uprising, but the ubiquitous roadblocks and the conflict's length have ruined his business.
"I'm still against the regime, but this drawn-out war is suicide," he says.
In the Sahnaya district of Old Damascus, even tombstones are not easily available for a conflict which the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says has killed more than 25,000 people over the past 17 months.
"People are just looking for a hole in a cemetery," says Tareq Samini, 45, carving with his chisel the name of a young soldier killed in the city of Homs.
"A tombstone is a luxury that we offer in peacetime, not wartime," says colleague Jihad Jano.

The Commissioner for Youth and Sports of Cross River State, Patrick Ugbe has revealed that his state as the next hosts, is already working hard to stage a befitting National Sports Festival.
Ugbe, in an exclusive interview with LEADERSHIP SPORTS, said that Cross River is set, now that Eko 2012 has just finished. Adding that they are going to work hard to deliver the best and correct the lapses seen during the just concluded fiesta in Lagos.
"We are very prepared, this is just the beginning, now that Eko 2012 has just finished, the attention will shift to Cross River and we are going to work hard to ensure we deliver a best festival. The 19th edition of National Sports Festival will be more colourful, if you know Cross River State, you will know that it is a state full of colours, we have our carnival, we have our festival, we are used to organising events of this nature and we will bring our experiences in organising all these events to bear when we host the sports festival.
We will correct whatever lapses we have noticed here and improve on what has been done by Lagos State, Lagos has done well within the limit to ensure that they deliver this festival but whatever lapses that have been noticed we will work hard to ensure we correct all of them".
Ugbe described throwing open the festival as the best thing that can happen to the country's sports development, describing the National Sports Festival as the nation's Olympics. Adding that if the country wants to get the best from the festival, it should be thrown open.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa The season of all seasons continued for the Vinton-Shellsburg boys' basketball team Monday night, and now it's on to Des Moines.
Grant Sagan led all scorers with 24 points and Max Kearns added 14 as the Vikings remained perfect, vanquishing the Crestwood Cadets, 65-56, in a Class 3A substate final at the McLeod Center.
"It's a dream come true," Vinton-Shellsburg Coach Joe Johnson said. "These kids have put in so much time and energy and effort, to see it able to pay off for them like this, it's just awesome."
The second state tournament berth in school history (1996) erases lingering memories of the Vikings' last trip to the McLeod Center last year's substate final loss to Western Dubuque.
"This is the best day of my life," Kearns said as he cradled the state qualifier banner. "I put the wallpaper on my phone, was Western Dubuque celebrating with this banner in this gym. It was motivation, made me want to work harder."
After trailing for most of the first quarter, Vinton-Shellsburg (24-0) ran off seven straight points early in the second to take a 24-18 lead, sparked by a steal and breakaway layup by Sagan.
"Of course defense is a huge thing for us," Sagan said. "We just wanted to come back out here for our community who supports us every day and just get the win, which we did."
Up 30-25 at halftime, the Vikings charged out of the locker room with a 12-3 start to the third quarter, most of which with Sagan getting a breather on the bench. The floor leader Kearns put on a dazzling display of drives to the basket, scoring back-to-back buckets to extend the Vikings' lead to 14 at 42-28 with two minutes left in the third quarter.
"I knew that if we were going to take this game over that I had to step up," Kearns said.

The approach the world has taken to tobacco control holds many lessons for the COP-15 Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen. A newly-published article in The Lancet (available with free registration) summarizes the many similarities between tobacco control and climate policy, and how the lessons learned from tobacco control can be applied to the way countries approach climate policy.
Deja Vu All Over Again
For both issues, the scientific evidence mounted gradually over the years. Both tobacco and climate change negatively impact public health and disproportionately affect poorer countries and lower socioeconomic groups. Both have long lead times between cause and effect, and the solutions for both require significant political will, comprehensive international policies, and long-term monitoring.
Climate change is similar to the issue of secondhand smoke in the sense that the damage both cause constitute "externalities." That's the word economists use to describe the side effects of a commercial enterprise that negatively impact other parties, where the cost is not reflected in the price of the product. Markets have no mechanism for dealing with externalities, leaving it up to governments to step in to limit the damage. Industries typically pocket the cash their products and activities generate, while leaving the cost of cleaning up their externalities to a larger group, many of whom don't benefit from the product in any way.
On the public relations side, both issues have entrenched, highly resourceful vested interests working to maintain the status quo. Industries associated with both groups have worked to manufacture doubt about scientific consensus, hired consultants to confuse the public and delay effective policies, and both groups have used the "junk science" label to tarnish the mounting evidence of harm deriving from their activities.
Delay Can Be Deadly
The 50-year lag time between the first scientific evidence pointing to the hazards of smoking and the first globally-coordinated tobacco control policy to emerge in 2005 (the World Health Organization's Global Tobacco Control Treaty contributed to the deaths of at least 100 million people globally. The delay in implementing real solutions to the tobacco epidemic is in itself a sad, and major, lesson in the high cost of delay.
Many mistakes were made in dealing with tobacco. As a society, we were naive about the power of entrenched interests to manufacture doubt and generate controversy about overwhelming scientific conclusions of harm. For decades, legislators and regulators put the interests of harmful, private industry over those of public health and welfare. We as a society also had no clue about the tobacco industry's vast and varied public relations strategies to preserve the status quo, and "countermeasures development programs" to defeat public health authorities' efforts to reduce tobacco-related deaths. Now we know about all this, and with the benefit of hindsight, mankind should not be fooled twice.
The power of entrenched industries in fighting necessary common sense regulation cannot be underestimated. Governments worldwide need to meet the challenges posed by harmful industries with a united and determined front. It is our sincere hope that the governments represented at COP-15 will learn from past experience and seize their chance to advance comprehensive policies limiting damage from climate change.

Climate Change and Tobacco control
Both climate change and tobacco control advocates use the same smoke and mirrors to fool the uninformed public. Both manipulate data and exaggerate conclusions to spread fear across the globe. Each have learned from one another and the socialist control mindset that was set in motion under the Nazi regime. Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it and the masses will believe a big lie rather than a smaller one are 2 quotes that apply here.

The Issue
The Issue is quite serious for those people who does not think about business and industries. You can see that not much governments have the courage to take keep a strict ban on the use of tobacco just because they are not ready to loose the revenue that it gives. For keeping the climate intact no government is ever ready to control any of the industries why? Revenue and growth will be affected. So what people want is money and growth and they are not worried about saving the planet.

The prospects look gloomy
The major difference between the current environmental and earlier tobacco crises is size. The amount of money behind corporations resisting positive environmental change is massive.
Corporations have become the major influence in the way society has developed, and intertwined with governments to varying degrees they will try to keep control.
Besides cleaning up the processes, excess wasteful consumption in the wealthier countries could be reduced providing immediate environmental relief. But this will not happen as long as these businesses need profit and commerce must expand. And when so many of us want more stuff.

Scientists not in agreement; CMD should remain objective
I have subscribed to CMD since they exposed fake Video News Releases on local news stations, and I read the weekly updates regularly. This is my first time to respond to an article, and this is the only topic I can think of I lean opposite of CMD on. It is one of two topics I have found CMD to be advocating change for.
The major issue at hand is whether "global warming"/"climate change" is man made. I am not convinced it is.
This article equates tobacco PR tactics to global warming PR tactics, because we just don't like them tobacco fat kids, do we? No. Well, guess what? Because the "science is in" and "there is no disputing the evidence" for GW/CC, you wouldn't want to harm the starving African kid with the Marlboro bag, would you? No! So support rampant overhaul of global energy consumption standards in Copenhagen!
What is going on here, CMD? Why are you advocating for a position?
You write: "It is our sincere hope that the governments represented at COP-15 will learn from past experience and seize their chance to advance comprehensive policies limiting damage from climate change."
The Petition Project has signatures of 31,000 scientists who are do not believe science can prove man has caused global warming/climate change. I did a search on this site and couldn't find any responses to it on CMD's behalf. Here is the petition
Is CMD is suggesting with this article that the PR spin masters have coerced and manipulated more than 31,000 American scientists into disputing global warming and climate change? Some research now suggests the sun is causing GW/CC, so this throws a whole new dynamic into the debate.
To say "the science is in" on GW/CC makes me believe the "experts" at CMD are drinking the Al Gore koolaid. Speaking of Gore, Weather Channel Founder John Coleman says someone should sue Al Gore for financial fraud to settle the debate
"As you look at the atmosphere over the last 25 years, there's been perhaps a degree of warming, perhaps probably a whole lot less than that, and the last year has been so cold that that's been erased," Coleman said.
"I think if we continue the cooling trend a couple of more years, the general public will at last begin to realize that they've been scammed on this global-warming thing."
The tobacco battle was big, and yes we want better health standards, but the result for enacting laws to fight man-made GW/CC mean new taxes, carbon police, and more stringent energy consumption standards. Some skeptics go as far to say this could also lead to a new global governing body more powerful than the United Nations.
So, I applaud you CMD for your hard work, but understand there are few different dynamics on this issue you should consider. Stuff like this makes me wonder why you have taken sides. If you want to remain objective in your endeavors, you shouldn't take sides.

Global warming
It may well be true that fluctuations in global temperature happen regularly in the earth's history but there is not much doubt that we are adding to any recent increase by burning fossil fuels.
Read Howard Zinn. "You cannot stay neutral on a moving train" and you might see why CMD is taking the stance it is.
As regards the 31,000 "scientists" who say there is no problem, what are their real qualifications and, more importantly, who is funding them? CMD have often shown how all pervasive is spin particularly when financed by organisations with huge funds available.
Sukces Osobisty... replied on Permalink
one little problem
I don't really understand the comparison here, or maybe it should be the other way around. The difference in level of complication and provability between these two issues is astronomical, and it takes a great deal of ignorance to draw these kind of conclusions based on politically infulenced bodies like IPC.
The same scientific ignorance resulted in promoting smoking as healthy back in the day, and is promoting Co2 as a main climate change driver these days.
There is no other comparison. Climate change is far to complicated to be understood at this point, and basing decisions of HUGE economical impact (especially on 3-rd world countries) on GMC predictions (it's computer modeling) that are completely detached from reality, is a monstrosity under the white clothes of saving the environment.
We don't understand the sun activity, we don't understand how clouds work, greenhouse effect is proven wrong time and time again. And what? Ignorance is bliss.
My hands are dropping when I hear/read such ignorant articles

"We ordered these cards for our fall wedding and we couldn't be happier!! Customer service was very helpful and answered all my questions and concerns!! Invitations arrived earlier then expected. Extremely pleased :) We ordered the rose gold foil colour and it is very whimsical!"
"I couldn't be happier with our invitations (and inserts/thank you cards). We requested the font to be in purple to match our colors, and it looks great. Something I didn't even think of was to make the back pattern purple as well, which they did on their own. Great quality and fast shipping. I can't wait to send these out!"
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"We loved these invitations. The card was nice thick quality but didn't go over the weight to use a normal stamp (Canadian stamp). The picture was excellent quality. The editor did a great job to unify the font (although did make a grammatical error but we caught it on review)."
"Could not be happier with this product or the service I received during the ordering and review process. We added multiple customized features, which were all implemented beautifully. The picture we chose printed clear and consistently."

This painting originally began as a proposal by the artist to paint a group portrait commemorating the Northern Ireland Peace Negotiations. The group was to consist of Mo Mowlam, Gerry Adams, John Hume and David Trimble. In spite of the sensitive politics of such a painting, all the sitters initially reacted positively to the suggestion. However, when the peace process went into crisis, Trimble expressed reluctance to sit for the group. Once the outlook for the peace process was more positive, attempts were made to restart the project but these failed. It was consequently decided that the commission should be changed from the Northern Ireland Peace Negotiations to a portrait of Mo Mowlam, with reference to her involvement in the peace process.

CU: Home • A to Z • Campus Map
Four CU-Boulder students have been awarded U.S. Department of State Critical Languages Scholarships. The CLS program supports intensive study in important languages for international work and relations including Arabic, Azerbaijani, Bangla/Bengali, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Punjabi, Russian, Turkish and Urdu.
For participants in CU-Boulder's Global Seminar in Tanzania the past two summers, the program is long over. Yet several of the students were so inspired by the experience, they're still engaged with the program. They're working to bring a safari guide they met during the program to campus this spring for the Conference on World Affairs.
The University of Colorado Boulder shares the No. 3 rank among 238 higher education institutions in the nation for hosting students of Brazil's Scientific Mobility Undergraduate Program.
The data, released last month by the Institute of International Education, or IIE, shows that CU-Boulder is home to 32 students through the program. Iowa State University also is hosting 32 students.
Fourteen graduate students from the Engineering for Developing Communities program at CU-Boulder traveled abroad this past summer to gain field experience in community development.
The students partnered with nonprofit organizations, private companies and universities for 4- to 12-week practicum experiences in Guatemala, Nicaragua, Peru, Bolivia, Uganda, Nepal and China.
For Bud Coleman, associate professor and department chair in the Department of Theatre and Dance, a Fulbright grant to teach in Japan was an opportunity to open a window on American identity for Japanese students.
A CU-Boulder faculty member since 1993, Coleman lectured on American culture as portrayed in musical theatre, American drama, and film at Waseda University and Kyoritsu Women's University in Tokyo in 2009-10. The students, who spoke fluent English, were American studies majors preparing for international careers in business or law.
CU engineering student Nick Bertrand spent two of his first four years of college studying in China—and then he went back again for a summer research internship.
"I love living in China – I love the food and the different style of entertainment there. And I was interested in the research from an academic perspective," he said.
When he was a fifth-year senior double-majoring in electrical and computer engineering and applied math, Bertrand was selected as the 2010 Study Abroad Student of the Year.

Poor service. I ordered a pizza extra crispy. It arrived under-done and gummy......a difficult feat, given its small-plate footprint. The waitress visited the table just once, long after our food had arrived, quickly asking me if our food were OK. Because my mouth was full and chewing, I could not answer, and she took that opportunity to scurry away fast. There was never any offer of grated cheese or fresh pepper on our dishes, or more ice water. When she literally slapped down the tab, I finally was able to say how the pizza was not cooked per request. Her response: "Sorry, too bad." She earned my entire modest tip, but not a penny more. Later, I called the manager to recount in a respectful manner the disappointing service. He rudely yelled at me and hung up the phone.

Everything is wonderful here... the food, the service and the atmosphere. All of the appetizers are great and the rib eye steak and the skate fish are divine! This is one of the Best Restaurants in New York City. Trust me Foodies!!

Started with the Insalata Di Puplo and it was delicious, and so generous it was nearly a meal unto itself. Followed with the Ravioli Con Zucca. It was simply remarkable! All of the previous raves are spot on! Tried both the Gavi and the Barolo by-the-glass offerings. They were fine, though not memorable. But I saw some nice labels on the bottles in the cupboard, and will be looking there for the wine next time.

After hearing great things about Apizz I finally got the chance to try it. It lived up to all of the expectations. The restaurant is very nice, great atmosphere. There is plenty of room between tables so you're not right on top of your neighbors. The food was delicious. The polenta was the best that I've had outside of Rome. Everything else was great too. I only wish that the courses were spaced better to allow more time to enjoy everything. Other than that it was perfection!
Posted by Ani on 01/25/2011
The atmosphere was lovely even though we didn't get to sit in the main dinning room. We sat in the bar area which was nice ( very similar decor at the bar as the orchard, a restaurant by the same owners). After digesting the entire experience of dining there last night, here's what I'm left with. The most enjoyable part of the meal was the bread and ricotta they brought at the beginning. I the "crispy prosciutto with pears and nut" as an appetizer, recommended by our waitress. Here's the thing: prosciutto is already perfect, it doesn't need to be baked or whatever they did to make it crispy which in my opinion sucked out the flavor. And the combination with the pears and nuts, meh. Second, I'd read great reviews for the wild boar lasagna, and since I've been going through a lasagna phase this was my clear choice. It was a nice try on their part and in theory it would have made a great and different kind of lasagna than traditional lasagna mostly because the beef component (boar) is shredded beef as opposed to ground (after yesterday I conclude that I prefer ground). In any case this could have been a great lasagna but I wouldn't really know because any flavor this had was completely masked by the ridiculous amount of salt it had. It was sooo damn salty I probably had 3 glasses of water while I was eating and couldn't even finish it. I could tell there was potential, but honestly to over salt is a mistake that shouldn't be happening at a restaurant of this caliber. Not with all the amazing Italian restaurants in NY. I tried my sisters mushroom polenta appetizer and it was just good. My boyfriends gambero appetizer of shrimps and chorizo was good but I thought the amount of oil that they floated in was unnecessary, I didn't try his veal tagliatelle, or my sisters ravioli (she said they where ok, and has had better) or my brother in laws gnochi (he seemed to like them but there were no ohhhs and ahhs). I'd really like to give it another shot but I highly doubt it. There are many Italian places on the list to try and many that I already love, to go back to apizz and spend 20+ on a lasagna and a high price on food that for New York standard was just ok going on mediocre. Our server was just as meh as the food. Our bus boy who kept bringing bread rocked.

Day 15: Slab City
I awoke feeling a lot better than the previous day. Advil and icy-hot worked their magic bringing the swelling in my leg and foot down to a manageable level. We had a long slab ride ahead of us to get to Missoula, and no real idea how long we'd have to stay there.
I always liked the Big Sky Country, not such a bad place to be pounding pavement. The temperature was comfortable at least, and the smooth roads were a welcome rest for my leg.
After a little bit we dropped out of the mountains and into Missoula, beginning to look for the Beemer shop. With any luck we'd find a Suzuki shop with a fork seal so Shawn could get that leak buttoned up.
Things got pretty flat for a while.
We found the dealership and split off from Shawn as he spotted a Suzuki place. After washing the mud off the bikes we dropped them off and headed for coffee down the street. Just as we left the dealer Shawn stopped by and said they didn't have the seal in stock. He would have to go to Helena to have it replaced. He thumped off and we went to relax for a bit.
Little bit of dust
A short while later both bikes were done, and after we changed air filters in the alley we were off in pursuit of Shawn. He messaged us the location of the shop, and we had some more slab time to get there.
We made good time heading East on 90, but it was quite a haul to Helena. I watched storms roll by to the south of us the whole time, knowing we'd be headed that way tonight. I was hoping we wouldn't run into much rain, and figured we could pick a route based on what the storms were doing.
We met Shawn in Helena, and now the day was really getting on. We pulled out at 3:30 and headed South.
The weather didn't look too good.
I hoped for the best as we turned off 90 and made our way to Big Sky. I'd been here once before some years ago and knew we'd find some primitive campsites and a store just of 191.
A quick stop for fuel at Gallatin Gateway, then South into the mountains. We hadn't gone but a few miles and the skies opened up. I had to put the camera away for fear of damaging it. It was already 5:30 and we had quite a few miles still to go.

Elberde — The Ethiopian troops who reached in Elberde town in Bakol region yesterday have returned back from it after having talks with the elders in the town, witnesses told Shabelle radio.
Reports say that the Ethiopian troops with officials poured in parts of Bakol region and had met with the elders and people of the Elberde town for several hors and lately went back from it.
It is unclear why the Ethiopian troops arrived there yesterday. But some reports say that they came the town to meet and talk to the people and elders of the town and it is not known what the Ethiopian troops and elders discussed so far.
We contacted to the elders who met with the Ethiopian troops and asked some thing about the meeting but they declined to comment on it.
How ever, it is not the first time the Ethiopian troops come in parts of Bakol region in Southern Somalia and talk to elders and people.
But the step comes as the former administration of transitional government in Bakol region is away from there.

(AP) -- After gaining a much-needed boost of confidence, the Cincinnati Bengals have a prime chance to lift their playoff hopes.The Bengals would appear to have a favorable schedule over the next few weeks, beginning with Sunday's visit to the beleaguered Kansas City Chiefs.Just when it seemed that it might continue its historic trend of inconsistency, Cincinnati pulled off a decisive 31-13 win over defending champion New York last Sunday. Andy Dalton threw a career-high four touchdowns while helping his team end a four-game losing streak, and the Bengals' defense forced four turnovers and sacked Eli Manning four times."That was huge for us," defensive tackle Domata Peko said. "We really needed that win. It was important because they're world champions and when you can compete against a team like that, it shows us we can compete against anybody."Cincinnati has made back-to-back playoff appearances only once in franchise history (1981-82) and will get its chance to make a push toward...

Originally written on Buzz On Broad | Last updated 1/8/13
PHILADELPHIA, PA. – JANUARY 8, 2013 – The Philadelphia 76ers announced Tuesday that they have signed free agent guard Maalik Wayns to a 10-day contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, per team regulations. Wayns (6-1, 195), a former standout at Roman Catholic High School, was not selected in the 2012 NBA Draft following his junior season with Villanova. He originally signed as a free agent with the Sixers on July 31 and was waived on January 6. In 20 games for the Sixers this season, Wayns is averaging 2.5 points and 1.0 assists in 7.8 minutes per game. As a cheaper contract solution for the Sixers, waiving Wayns and then picking him back up off of waivers is a more frugal option. A move the Sixers needed to make earlier in the season. Looking at the problems at point-guard for the 76ers, there needs to be some form of change. When the point guard situation is All-Star caliber quality in terms of Jrue Holiday and prospect level quality when looking at Royal Ivey and Wayns, something needs to be done. Whether it's a free agent or a trade option, there needs to be a more useful back-up point guard for the 76ers if they have hopes of winning more games. But then again, if you're a guard, why really fight for 10 minutes per game when Jrue isn't playing? Follow Tyler R. Tynes on Twitter @RealTylerTynes.

Craigslist buyer dupes woman out of $360 camera, police say | Crime
Police said a Madison woman was duped in an in-person transaction for a purchase agreement made on Craigslist last week.
The Madison Police Department said a 33-year-old woman posted her GoPro camera for sale on Craigslist and a man who said his name was Meng responded.
He agreed to the selling price of $360, according to the report.
Police spokesman Joel DeSpain said the two met in the parking lot of a burger restaurant just off the Beltline -- on the border of Madison's near west and south sides -- at about 10 p.m. on April 17. The man paid cash, but the woman later learned the bills were fake when she tried to deposit them into her credit union account.
The woman told police the man was Asian, drove a dark-colored BMW and had a woman and a small child with him.
Another Madisonian was scammed with counterfeit bills Tuesday when she tried to sell her laptop on Craigslist and the buyer paid with fake money, Madison police said.
Police have not determined if the cases are related.
"The crimes are similar. What is not similar is the descriptions of the people who were the so-called buyers," MPD spokesman Joel DeSpain said.
Police advise people who are selling through Craigslist to check the look and texture of the money before accepting it.

SOME things should not be mentioned in polite society, even among evolutionary biologists, who admittedly have bizarre ideas about what constitutes "polite". For example, it is close to blasphemy to speculate about the level at which natural selection acts, or about the unit of heredity. For it is written "the fundamental unit of selection ... is the gene, the unit of heredity" (The Selfish Gene).
The "selfish gene" metaphor created by Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book has so dominated that discussion about other levels of selection or forms of inheritance has hardly been taken seriously. Yet in a packed room at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts recently, professors did just that - albeit without Dawkins. Their message: too much emphasis has been put on the gene-centred approach, there is more to evolution than orthodox genetics.
Eva Jablonka, the principal speaker and an evolutionary biologist at Tel-Aviv University, Israel, believes ...

More than eight months after Occupy Wall Street burst onto the global stage, decrying income inequality and coining the phrase "We are the 99 percent," the movement's survival and continued relevance is far from assured. Donations to the flagship New York chapter have slowed to a trickle. Polls show that public support is rapidly waning. Media attention has dropped precipitously.
Bursts of violence, threats of municipal chaos and two alleged domestic terror plots have put Occupy on a recurring collision course with law enforcement. Even its social media popularity, a key indicator of the strength of a youthful movement, has fizzled since its zenith last fall. National electoral successes – the legacy of the Tea Party, the other major American grassroots movement created in recent years – are not even on the agenda of the famously leaderless organization.
While the movement's signature triumph has been to draw worldwide attention to income inequality in the U.S. and elsewhere, some who are sympathetic say it has nevertheless failed a crucial test of social movements: the ability to adapt and grow through changing tactics.
RELATED: The Biggest Threat to the Occupy Wall Street Protest
"Most of the social scientists who are at all like me, unsentimental leftists, think this movement is over," said Harvard University professor Theda Skocpol, a liberal academic who wrote a book on the Tea Party. She and others wonder whether Occupy will ever really thrive without solid footing in the mainstream of American political discourse.
Bill Dobbs of Occupy's New York's press team takes a different view. He compares the OWS struggle to that of America's civil rights movement – long and uphill, with broad goals to radically alter American society. The first step, he said, has been to re-animate America's long-dormant spirit of social activism.
"We in America have allowed ourselves to be put into a political coma," Dobbs told Reuters. "Occupy Wall Street has shaken the country out of that coma." But are sporadic protests enough to change the nation?
Skocpol identified what she said are several key differences between the Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street. She said Tea Party activists are generally 45 and older, with many in their 60s; they moved swiftly from organizing rallies to participating in local and national electoral politics, and established local chapters, each with its own leader. By contrast, the Occupy movement is populated by mostly younger activists who eschew traditional politics and have resisted top-down organization. Instead, she said, they focused on encampments, which left them vulnerable to dissolution after they were evicted from their tent cities.
Headlines about a plot to blow up a bridge in Cleveland during last month's May Day demonstrations and another to attack President Barack Obama's Chicago campaign headquarters with Molotov cocktails during the recent NATO summit drew crucial media oxygen away from the peaceful activities of the movement's large majority.
"Eight months in, the Tea Party were beginning to impact primary elections, and by the second year were having a tremendous impact," Skocpol said. "They were, if not electing, then at least changing the kind of candidates that were being elected. But Occupy got bogged down in tent cities. In social movement literature we'd argue that there was a failure to engage in tactical innovation at a crucial time."
Certainly the movement shows few signs of creating a summer of discontent in American cities this year. Its next big gathering is scheduled for Philadelphia, the week of July 4. Organizers say the group will camp out for four days in the "streets and parks of Philadelphia ... as a collective exercise of our free speech" and conduct workshops and panels.

Larry Curles, who helped build infrastructure in South Kitsap, retires
PORT ORCHARD - If it flows through pipes underneath South Kitsap, chances are Larry Curles has had a hand in it.
Curles, 62, general manager of West Sound Utility District, retired Thursday after a rousing send-off from employees and public officials.
Formerly with the city of Port Orchard, Curles has been a key player over the past 30 years in building and improving facilities that provide sewer and water service to a wide geographic area.
An engineer by trade, he was instrumental in construction of Port Orchard City Hall, the Tremont Street overpass above Blackjack Creek and the wastewater treatment plant on Beach Drive jointly operated by the city and West Sound Utility District.
The consensus of the crowd at Thursday's going-away party was that Curles is not just a consummate engineer; he's also a really nice guy.
"He always took the time to explain things to me and really helped me learn about city government," said Carolyn Powers, who joined the Port Orchard City Council in 1988. "I've always considered him a really close friend. Larry, I don't want to see you go."
"He's never talked down to me. He's always made me feel comfortable," said Lorisa Watkins, a lab tech at the sewer plant who furthered her education with encouragement from Curles.
"He's a great guy, a pleasure to work with," said Richard Harbert, president of RH2 Engineers of Bothell, the firm that contracted with the city on a major upgrade of the sewage treatment plant in the mid-1980s. "He's very experienced in knowing where problems are going to occur. He sees them before they happen."
Curles was among those who pushed for state-of-the-art biomembrane filtration at the plant. The new technology is proving cost-effective and has earned the facility awards.
Curles said his biggest challenge while working for the city was "they wanted stuff done, but didn't want to borrow money." During his tenure, he helped secure around $40 million in grants for public projects benefiting not only the city, but all of South Kitsap.
Former city councilman and mayor Lee Caldwell was on the committee that hired Curles in 1981, after his discharge from the Army.
"It's the best thing that ever happened to Port Orchard. He ran the town. It wasn't the mayor," Caldwell said.
In his 21 years with the city, Curles served as city engineer, public works director, city planner and assistant to the mayor. He left in 2004 over friction with some of the elected officials.
Bill Huntington, a West Sound Utility District commissioner, and his wife Mary Ann Huntington, then a Port of Bremerton commissioner, described the family feud that ensued when they found out Curles was looking for a new job. Each vied to entice him to join their organization.
"Unfortunately for the port, the water district won Larry," Mary Ann Huntington said.
"We almost got divorced over it," Bill Huntington joked.
Curles was general manager of the water district, and in 2006 also took charge of then-Karcher Creek Sewer District shortly before the two merged into West Sound Utility District.
Curles has enjoyed the ongoing connection between the city and the utility district.
"I got to spend 30 years in the community, working for the same fine group of people making a difference," he said.
A pilot and boater, Curles looks forward to spending time with his wife Carolyn and grown daughter Katherine Curles.
Of the decision to retire now, he said, "It was time."
Curles' successor is Michael Wilson, who has been a city manager and county administrator in several jurisdictions. He most recently served as public works director for the city of Fircrest.

2. Tatsuya Kawajiri
3. Shinya Aoki
4. Gesias "JZ" Calvancante
5. Mitsuhiro Ishida
6. Gilbert Melendez
7. B.J. Penn
8. Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro
9. Joe Stevenson
10. Joachim Hansen

Anne Arundel County Executive John R. Leopold, who is the subject of an investigation by the state prosecutor's office into whether he misused his security detail during last year's election, has removed the officers from the detail and created a new unit to supply executive protection.
Leopold also changed the jobs of two other employees: Leopold's secretary, Patty Medlin, has been transferred to a secretarial job in governmental affairs. Sue Wilson, who was the secretary for Leopold's chief of staff, has taken Medlin's position.
