Lara Dolan: The Business Impact of Volunteerism
in Entrepreneur
Today Steve Gordon and Dana Reeves will be talking about a variety of topics, from the best cities to launch your startup, to whether or not you should drain your 401k to start your company, and if you're having trouble figuring out what business to start, we'll share 7 hot, but kind of wacky, ideas that entrepreneurs should consider.
They'll also be talking with special guest, Lara Dolan, about the impact her volunteerism has had on her business and her family.
Currently a real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty Consultants, Lara specializes in residential and equestrian properties and lives here in Alpharetta with her husband and two daughters. She got her start in business with a number of sales and marketing positions with technology and consulting companies. After leaving the work force for a number of years while her daughters were young, she chose real estate as her marketplace re-entry point. Lara started her own company, Kismet Management, to help clients get through the real estate down-market by finding qualified tenants for their single-family homes, and managing those properties on behalf of her clients. In 2013, Lara sold Kismet Management and turned her focus toward traditional real estate, creating the Craft Dolan Team at Keller Williams.
In addition to work and family, Lara passionately supports the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, chairing several large fundraising events, and as a member of the Georgia CFF Volunteer Board. In 2006, family friends in New York lost their then 13-year-old daughter to cystic fibrosis. Suddenly it wasn't enough to just write a check – and that's when Lara's commitment to raising money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was born.

Continuing our conversation on alzheimer's
in Caregiving
This week, Najja Brown will share her family's personal alzheimer's journey. Najja and her four sisters have been navigating their mother's care for the last ten years. Some of the descriptors Najja has used are: challenging, emotional, hope, and light. In fact, she's even likened some past moments to a "black tunnel." Yet, she readily adds that light, hope, and even joy can and does surface. I am convinced that Najja's experience will bring some, if not all who tune in to Monday's podcast a renewed vision for hope and light.
Najja, a native of Seattle, Washington attended the University of Washington and City University. Najja holds a Bachelor's degree in Economics and a Master's degree in Public Administration. As a single mother she reared two sons, who are now adults, and has two grandsons ages six and eight. She also teaches adult women's Bible study and mentors women of all ages. A true believer and participant in service to her community and volunteerism, Najja is fluent in American Sign Language and very active in the Deaf community. Join us on Monday, June 29th at 3:30 pm, PST.
June is alzheimer's and brain awareness month. If you missed Kristine Broome's helpful interview last week, it's available in the archives. Kristine is the caregiver services coordinator with the Family Support Caregiver Program in Seattle.

Hope & Service: Path to Happiness
Thank you for listening to Happiness Index and we are continuing our conversation on hope and service. Hope is an optimistic attitude of mind based on an expectation of positive outcomes related to events and circumstances in one's life or the world at large. Vaclav Havel, former President of the Czech Rebubic said, Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out. We are convinced that everyone who gives of their time to serve others are deeply rooted in hope. Hope is an optimistic state of confidence and an anticipation that service is hope. It encourages to believe that your giving of yourself will make a difference. Hope is a cornerstone of volunteerism. Our focus today will be on the value of hope to inspire us to serve and how hope and service is a path to happiness. Thank you for listening to Happiness Index on Blog Talk Radio. Join us in this conversation and make the world better for all, call (347) 539-5818.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Return to Kuwait: The class of 1990
06 Aug 2012 08:47 GMT | Politics, Middle East, Syria
A bomb has targeted the Syrian state television and radio headquarters in Damascus, injuring several people, the country's information minister has said.
Omran al-Zoabi said that the bomb on the third floor of the building caused severe damage, but only led to "minor injuries" to several people. No deaths were reported in the blast, and state television put the number of wounded at three.
"It is clear that the blast was caused by an explosive device," Zoabi said. "Several of our colleagues were injured, but there were no serious injuries, and no dead."
Live Box 20117693233259422
"We know who is behind this cowardly, desperate and deplorable act," he added, pointing the figure at an armed rebel opposition movement that has purportedly carried out similar attacks in the capital in the past.
"Nothing will stop the voice of Syria," Zoabi asserted.
The television building lies in the Omayyad district of Damascus, a highly guarded area surrounded by multiple security barriers.
Al-Ikhbariya, a pro-government private Syrian television station, broadcast images of the damage at the state TV building. The footage showed destroyed walls, overturned desks, blown-out cabinet doors, broken glass and dangling electricity cables. A few TV workers were shown tending to a wounded colleague.
Violence in the capital has continued, with fighters who are part of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad saying they are focusing on launching quick "hit-and-run" attacks against government targets, rather than taking control of districts.
The attack in Damascus came as Syrian government forces said they are ready to mount a "decisive battle" for the country's commercial capital Aleppo, even as rebels say they have made gains in the city's ancient centre under intense bombardment and strafing from warplanes.
The twin fronts reflect the rising stakes for both sides in an uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's government that has so far claimed more than 18,000 lives, according to rights groups.
On Saturday, a brigade of the Free Syrian Army, the main armed opposition group, released an online video showing 48 kidnapped Iranians pilgrims who they claimed were members of that country's elite Revolutionary Guard.
The video warned that all Iranians in Syria would be "captured or killed" because of Tehran's strong backing for Assad. Iran said those captured when their bus was commandeered on Saturday were pilgrims visiting an important Shia shrine on the outskirts of Damascus.
'Decisive battle'
The pro-government al-Watan newspaper, meanwhile, has said the Syrian army is bracing itself for a "decisive battle" in Aleppo, the country's largest city.
No possible timetable was given, but activists in the city have for more than a week been saying that the government is gearing up for an all-out offensive on the northern commercial centre.
Late on Sunday, rebels clashed with the army in the city's southeastern Nayrab district, a fighter who called himself Abu Jumaa said. The army responded by shelling eastern districts.
Live Box 2011421105226899357
There were also clashes reported near the southern ring road.
Government forces pounded rebel-held areas on Sunday to keep the armed opposition from expanding their hold on the city's centre, whose loss would be a deep symbolic blow to the government
Mohammad Saeed, an anti-government activist, said that warplanes had joined in the attack by strafing rebel positions.
"Fighter jets to us are now as common as birds in the sky," Saeed said.
Saeed and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a UK-based human rights group, reported heavy shelling and clashes, mainly in districts flanking Aleppo's historic centre: Salahedin in the southwest and al-Sukkari and Hananou in the northeast.
Syria's official SANA news agency described the Aleppo rebels as "Gulf and Turkish militias" - more evidence of the deep regional fissures between Assad and allies such as Iran on one side, and nations that back the rebels on the other.
Once a busy shopping and restaurant district where residents would spend evenings with their families, the Salaheddin district is now white with dust, broken concrete and rubble.
Tank shell holes gape wide on the top of buildings near the frontline, and homes of families and couples have been turned into look-outs and sniper locations for rebel fighters.
Damascus fighting
The government also claims that it has regained full control over Damascus, after driving rebels out of central districts, including near Abbassiyyin Square, on Sunday.
Khaled al-Shami, an anti-government activist in Damascus, dismissed as "nonsense" the official reports that rebels were pushed from the capital.
He said rebels are increasingly using a tactic of quick-hit attacks to frustrate security forces and keep the capital unstable.
"The Free Syrian Army does not seek to hold territory in Damascus but rather stage hit-and-run attacks that drain the regime. The rebels are present and strong there," he said.

Letter writing — of the actual pen, paper, stamp variety — is a skill verging on extinction thanks to our email society. In a cool retro twist, purveyors of the-next-big-thing in fashion, Opening Ceremony, and BAZAAR editor at large and etiquette expert Derek Blasberg — writer of Classy and Very Classy — are reigniting the letter writing revolution with a new stationery concept, "Handwritten Letter Helper." Launching today exclusively at Opening Ceremony stores and online, the collection includes eight form letters to be personalized by the sender, with anniversary, thank you, love notes, birthday wishes and congratulations marking just a few of the topics covered. Consider it a chic and thoughtful Mad Libs, with fill-in-the-blanks to make the effort easy. Blasberg explains, "I love receiving handwritten notes, almost as much as I love sending them, and I wish more people would get on the letter-writing bandwagon with me. I figured this would be a fun, festive and endearing way to get people to realize the impact of putting pen to paper again."

The Space
A protected building and national monument, Bookeen Hall is a former Church of Ireland Chapel built in 1820. Part of the Dunsandle estate, the church was used for services by the estate's Church of Ireland congregation. Built in stone, the rectangular hall with its large gothic windows and solid bell-tower can be seen across fields and woodland, making it a distinctive and well known local landmark.
It was deconsecrated in 1920 and 200 years after it was built it was given a new lease of life and converted into a two bedroom home.
Inside the interiors are bright, open and contemporary. The church is comprised of a large open plan living /dining room and two bedrooms. The guest bedroom available to visitors has access to its own bell tower/reading room with great views of the surrounding countryside and private bathroom complete with claw-foot bathtub.
Bookeen Hall is situated on the edge of Dunsandle wood which has some great walking and running routes, which your hosts, both keen runners, would be happy to show you. Quiet and peaceful, it is surrounded by woodland, and fields full of cattle and sheep.
Easily accessible by car, Bookeen Hall is just 2 mins from the Dublin / Galway motorway (Dublin airport is 2 hours away); about 1 hour from Shannon airport; a 20 min drive from beautiful Galway city; and located just a 10 min drive from the neighbouring towns of Athenry and Loughrea, both of which have a good selection of cafes, restaurants, and bars, and good public transport links. The church is ideally located for day trips to Connemara and the Cliffs of Moher and Burren region.
Enjoy our home baking with tea/coffee when you arrive and a continental breakfast each morning.
What to expect: a restored church – with a light, bright and homey feel to it. It's also home to two dogs that can't wait to meet you!
No smoking inside.

Although we were unable to meet Chris and Orla in person (which was pre known) we had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Chris and Orla ensured we had everything we needed and even kindly left some home made breakfast treats for us. Staying in this restored church was a great experience and We thank-you both so much for welcoming us into your home. We hope to be able to return again some day!
The whole experience of staying at Bookeen Hall was both comfortable and magical. Everything was perfect from the beautifully restored old Church turned into a lovely home to the delicious and artfully prepared breakfast every morning. We loved the dogs and the décor and Chris and Orla were so warm and friendly, it was like visiting our own kids and relatives.
My husband is a runner, as are Chris and Orla, and they pointed him to good places to run and also had great advice about places to eat and things to see in the area. We had never stayed at B&B before, but this was so much more homey than any hotel. There were so many nice little touched, the bottle of water with mint in our room, the artwork all over, the happy spirit of the ancient church retained in modern style and comfort. The breakfast every day was superb, something to look forward to, the bed was comfortable with lovely linens, and the whole stay was a joy.
We would love to come back again, and would highly recommend Bookeen Hall to anyone traveling in the Galway area.
Chris welcomed us to his beautifully restored church home and since we were famished obtained a real at a fabulous restaurant, Taste Matters, in Loughrea. The home is so tastefully decorated and the bedroom was roomy and beds were comfortable. The clawfoot tub was a delight. Orla served a scrumptous breakfast of eggs, yogurt, cereals and delicious pastries. Chris even tracked us down when my husband left his glasses. A truly welcoming and unique experience.
My husband and I had a GREAT time at Chris and Orla's home. They were kind, thoughtful, and accommodating. The breakfast they prepared was perfect, and their home is out in the country but close enough to Galway, the Burren, Connemara, and other nice areas. (They had some great recommendations.) They also know how to do a mean renovation - we were in constant awe of the talent, care and attention to detail, and impressive design that was put into Bookeen Hall. It was truly an unforgettable experience to stay in their home. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to visit the Galway area.
We had a wonderful time staying with Chris and Orla. They are really fun people and the work they've done to make the historic church building feel cozy and welcoming is incredible.
What a fabulous stay we had! Chris and Orla are great hosts. They provided everything we needed from tea when we arrived and delicious breakfast, to perfect recommendations for a day of sightseeing (even graciously offering a personal map so we could take the best route). My husband and I both loved their friendly pups too! The church is such a lovely building and they've refashioned it to be such a cozy home. It's the perfect quiet spot for an Irish holiday, a 20 minute drive to Galway, and very close to the beautiful parks in Connemara and the Burren. I would heartily recommend staying here!! I wish we could've stayed longer!
My husband and I stayed for one night at Bookeen Hall, which was definitely one of the highlights of my first trip to Ireland. Not only were our hosts very welcoming, but I also appreciated that Chris was very prompt in responding to messages (and proactive about sending information our way regarding our stay.)
Missing our own dogs, I was eager to get some snuggle time in with Mouse and Monkey. Let's just say they did not disappoint. These dogs are absolutely beautiful and so well behaved. Our hosts were definitely careful about making sure we were comfortable with the dogs and did not just "let them loose," which was above and beyond necessary since we were guests in their home.
Do not second guess your decision to stay here. This is an absolutely beautiful, one-of-a-kind location you will not regret. I will recommend it to any family and friends who plan to visit Ireland in the future.
Also, let's talk food: Be sure to trust Chris on his dinner recommendations. Also, the breakfast that was prepared by our hosts was a "lovely" surprise...and delicious!

Brilliant pre-med student Amoreena Daniels needs money. Desperately. Her mother is dying of cancer and her medical insurance has run out. When a seemingly perfect women's clinic offers Amoreena a generous payment for service as a surrogate mother, Amoreena thinks her prayers have been answered. But then—much too early—her baby begins to move.
The strange dreams, another surrogate's mysterious death and a drug-addicted former medical intern confirm Amoreena's worst suspicions: there is something terribly wrong with the pregnancy. Amoreena embarks on a dangerous journey to uncover the truth behind the endless battery of genetic tests, sonograms and frightened patients, only to discover that she has unwittingly become a pawn in a high-stakes game of biomedical experimentation.
Gargoyles is the first book in the Resurrection Trilogy series. Book two is Plague and Book three is Resurrection.
Editorial Reviews
"A splendid debut. A timely tale, steadily accelerating suspense . . . and a warning."Charles Wilson, USA Today best-selling author of Deep Sleep and Extinct on Gargoyles
"The idea behind this story is first rate. Dr. Nayes shows the dark side of genetic engineering run amok, in a nightmarish biotech scenario. . . . Gargoyles is an audacious beginning for a bold new writer of medical thrillers."David M. Shobin, New York Times bestselling author of The Provider
"Slickly suspenseful . . . The mix of breezy science and lab-smock sadism makes for breathless page-turning."Kirkus Reviews on Gargoyles
"[A] gripping, thought-provoking tale of mounting distrust, betrayal, brutality, and greed."Booklist on Gargoyles

Read an Excerpt
Somewhere near Itzimte Ruins, Guatemala, rainy season
She turned her first trick four months shy of her thirteenth birthday. Patricio had been a small man, only a boy really, being just two years older than she. His father had been a teniente in the security police that patrolled Mexico City, and he'd paid sixty pesos for Gabriella's services. Gabriella wasn't her real name then, but it was the name she'd used while plying her trade, and it was how she was currently registered at Las Canas.
Now, three years later, the teenage girl with the truculent almond eyes sat huddled under a gnarled tree limb, seeking refuge from the tropical shower. Her skin glistened moist from sweat and precipitation, and she could smell her own fear above the pungent odor of the earth.
Gabriella stroked one have across her gravid abdomen, then quickly climbed from the security and cover of the lush vegetation to resume her flight alone the muddy carretera that would eventually lead her to San Andres. Nightfall was fast approaching. She pressed onward, prodding herself another half kilometer, though her feet and thighs cried out for rest. Surrounded by miles of unfettered jungle that comprised the Guatemalan lowland rain forests, she longed for a shortcut. There was none. And carved out of this most intimidating habitat in all of Central America had been Las Canas.
Wump. Wump. Wump. Wump. Los helicoperos. The choppers.
"Mi bebé!" My baby. Gabriella dashed back under the gloomy cover of the rain-forest canopy. She would rather risk an encounter with el tigre or even Desmodus rotundus, the loathsome bloodsucking vampire bat.
Wump. Wump. Wump. Anything but the choppers. She could never return to Las Canas. Never.
Gabriella clutched desperately at her stomach. It heaved with each laborious breath. She couldn't maintain this frenetic pace, it was impossible. She forced herself to think through the tears, through the pain. She might still stand a chance if she could thwart their initial assault.
Wump. Wump. Wump. Wump.
"Que mierda,"Gabriella cried out.
Her hands protected her eyes as she stumbled farther through the thick underbrush. Thorns ripped at her skin, and vines threatened to ensnare her ankles as if they possessed wills of their own.
She tripped, stumbling forward. Terror gripped her like a giant anaconda. Her breaths catapulted from her convulsing chest in short gasps.
Oh Dios, por favor, she prayed. Please, God. If she could just make it to the Itzimté Ruins before dark.
High above her head, the canopy of epiphytes, vines, and towering ferns gyrated into a living tempest. The powerful downdraft from the Sikorsky's blades created a whirlwind of flying debris.
Gabriella threw herself on the forest floor, cowering under the onslaught of tangled vegetation.
Wump. Wump. Wump. Wump.
"No!" she cried. "No!"
With nothing to cling to but remnants of past dreams, Gabriella began to pray. She prayed for herself. She prayed for Las Canas. But mostly she prayed for the bebés.
The men from the platación de azúcan were coming.

This heatwave in Rome is showing no signs of letting up. It is misery. I was incredibly fortunate to escape to Capri for the worst of it for a few weeks but right before I ran away we spent the day just outside of Rome in the remarkably cooler and very peaceful town of Nemi.
Gillian's Lists
"The list is the origin of culture," Umberto Eco. My insider tips to help you unlock the secrets of how to live like a Roman. {and a few other places too}
Day Trip to Nemi
This heatwave in Rome is showing no signs of letting up. It is misery. I was incredibly fortunate to escape to Capri for the worst of it for a few weeks but right before I ran away we spent the day just outside of Rome in the remarkably cooler and very peaceful town of Nemi.
Eating in Capri {Ristorante Michel'Angelo}
I am so happy that this time I said yes.
What to Eat and Where to Stay on the Cilento Coast
How to survive a Roman Heatwave
Rome is hot right now. More than regular summer hot, which I really enjoy, but more like nothing is fun after five minutes outside hot. Which is kind of a drag. I follow the Roman rhythms and try to run my errands early in the morning and spend the hottest part of the day inside with the windows and shutters shut tight, venturing out again when the sun sets and there is usually a breeze. Here are a few more things I have been doing to get through the heatwave
You have to give the Italians extra credit for literary flair. The current heatwave is named Flegetonte, which Dante described as a river of blood that boiled souls. He's not wrong.
How to Pack for the Amalfi Coast
I recently went on a press trip to the Amalfi and Cilento coasts that dovetailed with a long planned family trip to Ponza. Packing was challenge. Now I knew that the Amalfi Coast has stairs. A lot of stairs. And we that we were going to be moving around a lot. In Ponza, the charming house we rent requires a vigorous hike on a very narrow path to reach. I had to have a dress for a Michelin starred dinner, beach clothes, nature walk clothes and comfortable but chic travel to and from clothes. A few of my fellow travelers asked me how I did it, so I decided to share my secrets to how to pack for the Amalfi Coast here.
Finding the Authentic Amalfi Coast
"I want an authentic Italian experience." I hear this a lot. I have talked about it before. But what does that really mean?
Here in my Roman neighborhood, I can debate the merits of obscure coves on the island of Ponza with my butcher, I know what time of year to greet my Bangladeshi fruttavendolo with Eid Mbarak, Forgot my wallet at my local bar? No problem, they know I will come back and settle up.
These are authentic experiences indeed, but ones that can only be had because I live here. Because I interact with the same people every day. But what about the visitor who is in Italy for a week or two, trying to make the most of a short time? Maybe they are jet lagged or traveling with small children. Does this make the fourth generation restaurant owner in Amalfi who serves dinner at 6pm inauthentic? Can I fault the bar in Positano for selling bagels? No. They are responding to market forces. The businesses in the towns along the Amalfi Coast have a few short months in which to earn a years worth of income.
So back to the question. What is an authentic experience? What is your responsibility as the visitor to the authentic experience, particularly in a place that relies heavily on tourism? I have been mulling these questions over and have a few thoughts.
I spend a fair amount of time on the Amalfi Coast, but am hesitant to call myself an expert. Sure, I can tell you the best way to get there, where to park and a few of my favorite places to eat, but ultimately I am a visitor too, doing many of the same touristy things everyone else is doing. If the "authentic experience" is what you are seeking it is up to you as the visitor to do a little research. Maybe stay in one of the smaller villages on the coast. Find out about the place you are visiting. Not things like what the historic sites are or where to buy the cutest sandals, that's easy. But things like what are the daily rhythms of a place. (Hint, the Italians are not eating dinner at 6:00pm.) Stop by the local markets and see what is for sale. Those are things you should see on your restaurant menu (the Italians are drinking beer with their pizza, not Chianti). Ask the parking attendant, the pharmacist, the barista where their favorite beach is. It is the simple everyday interactions that will deepen your understanding and experience. And if you feel like a bagel for breakfast or boat tour to Capri, you know what, that's ok too. Relax. It's your vacation after all.
There are 13 towns of the Amalfi Coast. On my most recent trip I was shown many of the smaller places that people miss. Each one Authentic.

The chat also touched upon the successor to the PSP, and Hirai's candid comments seem to give light to what Sony has planned for its next-generation device. Most importantly, and unsurprisingly, it seems a touch mechanic will be implemented with Hirai admitting that "there are [games] where you can play perfectly well with a touch panel. But you can definitely play immersive games better with physical buttons and pads. I think there could be games where you're able to use both in combination.''
Earlier rumors suggested that PSP2 would feature some kind of touch-based "trackpad," and Hirai's comments seem to further cement that possibility. Could the next system really offer "early PS3 graphics"? And if so, what will the slogan be? "It Only Does Everything on the Go ... Except Make Calls, Which is What the PlayStation Phone Does Instead"?

This was my first trip to Paris so wanted it to be special. We chose the hotel in Opera district, very close to all major sightseeing stuff, walking distance to Louvre (if you don't mind walking for 15-20 minutes). Hotel was very good, breakfast plentiful, clean rooms (though on a smaller side - however, we were only there for couple of nights so that wasn't problem at all). Agents were very helpful when helping to choose location, flights - Ryaniar service and prices as you would expect, but on time and with no blips! Love Paris! thanks for your help.

Finding a Belgian Malinois Puppy
I have owned and trained Belgian Sheepdogs for close to 40 years. I have seen the Belgian Malinois become the military and police dog of choice. They are a true working dog that has been very selectively bred to work long hours often in harsh conditions and to be mentally and physically tough. They have been bred to have the drive, energy and intense desire to keep working for hours on the job.
I have also seen huge numbers of people decide to produce Belgian Malinois litters for the sole desire to make a quick buck and fill the demand of folks who want a dog just like the dog they saw in the news or in a movie. They don't care what sort of temperaments the parents or puppies have or health issues. They don't care where the puppies go, and they don't care if the people buying the cute 8 week old puppy know anything about the breed. Most of these dogs will end up in a shelter because they do not make good pets! Great working dogs but challenging pet dogs. Please spend a few hours researching this breed before deciding on bringing a dog into your home that will hopefully live with you and your family for 14 of 15 years.
They are high energy and high drive dogs, most want to be doing 'something' 24/7. This makes them good for competitive working homes who are committed to training their puppy every day multiple times a day and keep the puppy in a secure kennel where it can't damage their home or yard when they don't have time to interact with the puppy. They are bred to have an intense desire to tug and grip. Necessary in a military or police dog but they NEED something in their mouths especially when bored. This can be furniture, door jams, decks, sheet rock, fencing, pant legs, hands …. Read More Here

West Indies fast bowler Kemar Roach believes the regional cricket side's Twenty20 World Cup triumph will be a huge boost for them heading into next month's tour of Bangladesh. The Windies captured the T20 title in Sri Lanka earlier this month, when they beat the hosts by 36 runs in a pulsating final in Colombo. They leave the Caribbean at the weekend for Dhaka for a series comprising two Tests, five One-Day Internationals and a single T20. "The players are very confident following that success. It's good to be around them right now. It's been very inspirational and they are talking stuff that is very useful to me," said Roach who was not a member of the successful side. "I'm always glad to be around them – but at this time, it's even better now we have had that bit of success, so we are looking to go forward now and move on from strength to strength." The players have gathered in Barbados for a preparatory camp before their departure for the November 8-December 10 tour. But despite the confidence in the side, Roach pointed out that the tour would be a challenging one and stressed the Windies needed to settle down quickly and adjust to the conditions. "Bangladesh is a tough place to play the game, so we will go there and quickly assess the conditions and try to adapt as quickly as possible to give it our best shot," he noted. Roach last played for West Indies back in August on New Zealand's tour of the Caribbean, when the hosts won all three formats handily. Though he missed out on the World T20 tour, Roach said he had remained fit and was looking forward to getting back to top flight action. "I'm glad to be involved with the West Indies team again and I am hoping that some of the work I did for my club (CGI Maple) I can bring it into my bowling for West Indies on this tour," said the 24-year-old strike bowler. "The coach has been doing a lot of work with me and we have had a lot of good chats about bowling. The work has paid off. I've gotten a lot of wickets, a few Man of the Match and Man of the Series awards. "The ICC [the sport's world governing body] has me at No.10 in the Test rankings and I am very confident in my game right now. My aim now is to try to become the No.1 bowler in the world in the not-too-distant future." Roach captured 39 wickets in seven Tests this year at an average of 22.25. His overall record is 82 wickets in 21 Tests at 27.69. (CMC/EZS)

Haredim in Mea Shearim 370.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem)
Following several years of active opposition to gender-separate sidewalks on Mea
She'arim Street during the Succot holiday, Jerusalem Police said this week that
they are satisfied with the arrangements for the busy thoroughfare this
year.In recent years, haredi communal leaders and hassidic yeshivas
along Mea She'arim arranged for stretches of the road to be divided into
separate sections for men and women during Succot to prevent intermingling –
particularly during the evening, when traditional Simhat Beit Hashoeva parties
are staged and thousands of people throng the neighborhood.Two-meter
high barriers covered with cloth were used to divide the men from the women,
while private stewards directed genders to the appropriate part of the
street.However, the High Court of Justice previously ruled that such
arrangements are illegal and last October insisted that the police prevent
gender-separation from 2012 onwards.This year, a barrier without a cloth
cover is erected every night along one sidewalk, during the evening hours only,
from the corner of Mea She'arim and Shivtei Yisrael streets down the
approximately 20 meters of Mea She'arim Street which runs in front of the Toldos
Aharon yeshiva.Stewards have not been present.Ahead of this
year's holiday, haredi community leaders agreed with representatives of the
police and Jerusalem Municipality that a fence would be set up to preserve order
during the Simhat Beit Hashoeva festivities, but that segregation would not be
enforced.Jerusalem deputy police spokeswoman Shlomit Bajshi told The
Jerusalem Post on Tuesday that all of the yeshivot along Mea She'arim, including
that of the ultra-conservative Toldos Aharon Hassidim, are upholding the
conditions required by the High Court of Justice last year.The Free
Israel secularist movement, which has lobbied strenuously for the
gender-separation arrangements to be banned, said that the situation has
improved, but that the movement still believed that such separation is being
conducted.Free Israel director Mickey Gitzin said that the High Court
ruling called for no barriers at all and that the ruling should be adhered
to.Asked whether his organization would take further action, Gitzin said
that Free Israel would keep working with city council members and would see how
the mayor wants to deal with the issue.Shmuel Pappenheim, a prominent
member of the haredi community and a Toldos Aharon hassid, said that the
community did not want fights and confrontation, but added that they
nevertheless objected to "outside interference.""We'd prefer it if the
High Court and the secular activists didn't interfere with the way we want to
live. We don't want their values because ours our stronger and higher," he
said.Speaking to the Post outside the Toldos Aharon yeshiva on Wednesday
a hassid from the school, Haim, said that his community was "in favor of
holiness" and that they should be allowed to erect the separation barriers if
they so wished."Why do they care what happens here?" he asked. "We don't
interfere with them where they live, and this is what our community wants to
do." On Monday night, between 15 and 20 members of Free Israel went to Mea
She'arim to check if the High Court ruling was being enforced, the movement
said.According to Gitzin, police insisted that the whole group not walk
down the road and arranged for two Free Israel activists to accompany two police
officers along with a Yediot Aharonot photographer and a journalist from Channel
10.When they arrived in front of the Toldos Aharon yeshiva, stones were
thrown apparently by extremist haredi men protesting the visit.One of
the stones struck Yediot photographer Ata Asivat in the head. He was taken to
Hadassah University Medical Center in Ein Kerem with light injuries and remained
there overnight for observation. A policeman was also lightly injured in the
affray, but no arrests were made.Deputy Mayor Yossi Deitsch of the
haredi United Torah Judaism party condemned the incident calling it "a
desecration of God's name.""This is not the way of the Torah," he told
the Post."We're talking about extremists who threw stones, but the
people of Toldos Aharon have complied with all agreements."Deitsch added
that the entry of the Free Israel activists into the neighborhood was "an
unnecessary provocation."Melanie Lidman contributed to this report.

Once upon a time it was the most award winning Pizza Port beer of all time. Now it has found a new home at The Lost Abbey. A massive brown ale base that is made from four fermentable sugars including Malted Barley, Raisins, Candi Sugar and Sour Cherries, this beer is fully fermented before being placed in Bourbon barrels where the beer ages for one year with the Sour Cherries and the wild Brettanomyces yeast that we inoculate the barrels with. One of the most complex and unique beers we make each year.

Daniel Pelka child services chief Colin Green resigns new post
Friday 20 September 2013
The man in charge of children's services in Coventry at the time four-year-old Daniel Pelka was murdered has resigned from a child protection job at another council.
Colin Green has stepped down as chairman of the Local Safeguarding Children Board in the east London borough of Tower Hamlets "with immediate effect", the authority said.
He retired from Coventry City Council last month.
Daniel was physically abused and starved by his mother and step-father for months, and weighed just 11kg upon his death.
Geoffrey Robinson, the MP for Coventry North West, previously said Mr Green "takes with him the indelible stain of Daniel's cruel death, which his department had failed to prevent."
A serious case review published this week highlighted how chances were missed by child protection agencies to intervene in the tragic case.
Magdelena Luczak and former soldier Mariusz Krezolek, both originally from Poland, were jailed for a minimum of 30 years each after a trial at Birmingham Crown Court earlier this year.
Tower Hamlets cabinet member for children, schools and families Oliur Rahman was quoted by the East London Advertiser as saying he was abroad when the appointment was made in June.
"I wouldn't feel comfortable working with somebody who was involved in such a horrific case," he told the newspaper.
"I think he has taken the right decision. I wish him luck in the future."

Right Wing News Tech Issue
I changed web hosting companies for Right Wing News on Sunday and since then, we've had a strange issue with DNS propagation. Long story short, for an unusually long time after the website was moved over, an inordinate number of people were still seeing the old version of RWN, on the old host, instead of the new version. Theoretically, it can take 24-72 hours for a website to show up in a new location once the DNS has been re-pointed, but typically it shouldn't take nearly that long. I took a corrective step early in the AM to try to speed up the process.
The good news is that if you're seeing this post, you're seeing the latest version of Right Wing News. If not, then you're probably scratching your head, wondering what's going on and why the page isn't being updated as per usual today. If all goes well, pretty much everyone should be moved over by noon today. Of course, you know the old saying, "We plan, God laughs."

The 5 Fugliest Diaper Bags
BY Frank Lowe
March 19 2014 11:12 AM ET
5. "Rocket science is easier than this": As if the concept of a backpack isn't atrocious enough, they've decided to make this into some Inspector Gadget crazy convertible number in shit brown. The only plus side of this is it goes beautifully with broken-in mom jeans. I can see a lot of straight dads being attracted to this (no offense), but most sensible gay dads will be overwhelmed by both the lack of appeal and the apparent overdesign.

BenQ unveils K60 nReader
eBook readers have quickly become the latest thing that the computer industry is throwing everything it has at, as it's seen as the new saviour product by suffering technology companies.
The latest to join the fray is BenQ which has launched the first of many devices to come in its nReader series of devices. The first model is simply called the K60 and at first it might not look like it has anything out of the ordinary on offer, but dig a little bit deeper and you'll soon realise that BenQ has decided to go down a slightly different route compared to its competitors.
Let's start with a few specifications. The nReader K60 measures 175 x 122 x 11mm and it weighs in at a reasonably light 220 grams. It has a 6-inch touch screen electronic paper display that uses SiPix Microcup technology. The screen has a native resolution of 800 x 600 pixels with 167 dots per inch and it can display 16 grey scales. So far it's pretty much on par with the Amazon Kindle in terms of tech specs, but it lacks the keyboard of the Kindle and is, as such, slightly smaller and lighter.
The nReader K60 features 2GB of built in memory (good for about 4000 books) and it has a microSD card slot that accepts memory cards up to 16GB in size. It also has a micro USB port and a full-size USB 2.0 port and a 3.5mm audio jack.
It supports a wide range of file formats, most notably ePub, PDF, TXT and HTML files as an eBook reader, but it also displays JPEG, BMP, GIF and PNG images and it plays back MP3 audio files.
Although the nReader K60 comes with built in 802.11b/g Wi-Fi, the secret sauce so to speak is actually the USB port at the top of the device. This allows for USB 3G dongles to be attached for internet access on the move. We're not sure this is a big plus point, but it should allow for a lower initial cost. BenQ was talking about the possibility of even bundling the nReader with a purchase of a 3G dongle or as a free upgrade deal for users that are willing to sign up for an additional contract period extension.
BenQ claims up to 7500 pages per charge, although this doesn't include Wi-Fi or 3G usage. Initially the nReader will launch in Taiwan and China (no pricing revealed just yet) and BenQ is even planning its own eBook store for these markets. However, BenQ is looking for partners in Europe and has already been in talks with some of the larger European telco's to see if they'd be interested.

Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
PROVO — BYU concluded its spring football practices last Friday after providing better clarity of each position group heading into fall camp. Several players saw their stock rise throughout the session while others will look to make an impact this fall.

Brandon Gurney was there for every open session and gives his best glimpse into what's on tap heading into the 2014 season.
Here's a look at the position-by-position breakdown.

Jesus was not a Christian and the teachings of Jesus are not the founding document of the Christian Church (that would be the Nicene Creed). One might say that Jesus was "appropriated" by Christianity and because of this many people do not come to hear or know the wonderful and incredible story of what this man did.
Join us for a journey through the mystical gospel story of Jesus of Nazareth and discover for yourself what this message for humanity is.
With Topics like -
1. Jesus, the Word made Flesh - Who is this Jesus? A story, a real man, God?
2. You must be Born Again - The death of old forms, ways and religions.
3. The Bread of Life - Words of Spirit falling on Ears of flesh - Knowing Truth sets you free and ignorance enslaves - Experience or Beliefs?
Mr. Gandhi, though you quote the words of Christ often, why is that you appear to so adamantly reject becoming his follower?
Gandhi replied:
Oh, I don't reject Christ. I love Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike Christ.

From statements at the other Salt Lake paper it would seem they talked about
rushing to the middle.
Obviously, no one had a copy of the party platform to discuss. They've become campaigners first and teachers of conservatism last.
Romney lost because people in his own party stayed home. And their strategy seems to be to continue to offend the base.
The people who wrote and approved the GOP platform are the politically active foot soldiers you need to walk the neighborhoods. If you ignore them and the things they believe in, you cannot win.
This conference is sending the early money in precisely the wrong direction.

Thank you to the GOP "base" and the Romneys for insuring that the GOP
