Chuck Landon: Another coach leaves
At first, I just figured these chilly winds were from the cold front meteorologist Spencer Adkins predicted.
Guess again.
Instead, it turns out these cold gusts are coming from the revolving door in the Shewey Building.
Yes, folks, it is spinning that fast.
For the second time in three days, another staff member left Marshall's football program on Wednesday. This time it was offensive line coach Geep Wade, who has accepted the same position at Middle Tennessee State.
That's right, MTSU.
And that increases the number of departures to five. Here's the list in chronological order:
Chris Rippon: After three years as defensive coordinator, he was given the opportunity to resign after Marshall's 65-59 double overtime loss at East Carolina on Nov. 23. Rippon resigned the next day.
Tony Petersen: The one-time Marshall star quarterback wore the hats of co-offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and assistant head coach. But on Jan. 7, Petersen resigned to accept the offensive coordinator position at Louisiana Tech.
Lytrel Pollard: After only one year on Marshall's staff, the cornerbacks coach resigned on Jan. 11 to accept the same position at Southern Miss.
Joe Miday: After six years of rising through the ranks to become Marshall's strength and conditioning head coach, Miday resigned Monday to accept the same position at Western Kentucky.
Geep Wade: Another one and done for Marshall. After just one season as the Herd's offensive line coach, Wade resigned on Wednesday to fill the same role at Middle Tennessee State.
That's a lot of attrition in a short time span. Or, so I thought. But, then, I learned from Marshall sources that the football program actually has lost eight staff members, not five.
The additional three are associate head athletic trainer Toby Harkins, who left to become the head trainer at Illinois; director of high school relations Alex Schnitzer, who took a staff position at UT-Chattanooga; and assistant strength coach Scott Wilks, a former Herd player who apparently plans to join Miday on Western Kentucky's strength staff.
Any way optimists want to spin it, that's a lot of staff members to lose in one off-season.
That's true even for a so-called stepping-stone program such as Marshall where attrition has to be expected. If good hires are being made, those people are going to move up the collegiate ladder.
It's supposed to work that way.
The problem is most of the eight staffers who are leaving Marshall are making lateral moves. ... at best. Yet, there are good reasons for each and every departure.
Petersen, who reportedly received a modest raise, gets to call the Bulldogs' plays. Pollard is returning to his alma mater. Miday and Wilks are hitching their wagons to Western Kentucky's new star, Bobby Petrino. Wade and his wife are returning to their native Tennessee. And Schnitzer is returning to his alma mater.
Those are all good reasons.
But the fact remains leaving Marshall for jobs at Louisiana Tech, Southern Miss, Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee State and UT-Chattanooga are indeed lateral moves.
Besides, whether they are justifiable reasons or not, it certainly doesn't help Marshall's cause. Heading into a crucial 2013 season, Marshall needed to maintain as much staff stability as possible.
Eight departed staffers later, that stability has turned into instability.
That's alarming anyway you look at it.

Time for Hillary to take a bowFebruary 01,2013Today is Hillary Clintons final day at the State Department. As weve all been reminded, over the past four years shes traveled 956,733 miles to 112 different countries in order to conduct 1,700 meetings with world leaders. While consuming 570 airplane meals.
Its exactly what you would have expected her to do. This is the woman who ended her career as a U.S. senator by announcing: Ive had a lot of fun. Eight state fairs, 45 parades, 62 counties, more than 4,600 events across the state.
And then, of course, there was the race for president, in which she campaigned through 54 primaries and caucuses. After she lost, she urged her followers to take a break and go to the beach. But she went out and campaigned for Barack Obama. And then to the Cabinet and the 112 countries.
So its understandable that people are questioning how long the resting part of her future will last. There is already a Hillary-in-2016 PAC. Although Clinton has nothing to do with it, she could certainly stop it, as she could end all the presidential speculation by simply saying that she would not, under any circumstances, accept a nomination. She hasnt said that.
But we really ought to get through the first year of President Barack Obamas second term before we declare him a lame duck and start discussing a replacement.
Meanwhile, if the last several decades are any indication, whatever Clinton does will involve extraordinarily diligent-but-unglamorous work, coupled with occasional hair-raising disasters, which she will overcome with a steely resolve that will make the world swoon.
Her departure from the current job has been of the pattern. There was the virus, followed by fainting, fall and blood clot. Followed by high-decibel Senate hearings in which the administrations failings during the run-up to the tragedy at Benghazi were overshadowed by clips of the secretary swatting back snarling Republican senators, while wearing large new eyeglasses to control her concussion-related double vision.
And there was the inauguration, when Bill and Hillary Clinton were photographed chatting with the former vice presidential candidate and current White House scourge, Paul Ryan. We were just kind of chumming it up, Ryan told Meet the Press. He then went on to say that if only the country was under a Clinton presidency, the fiscal crisis would be fixed. It was not entirely clear which Clinton he was talking about. Didnt entirely matter.
All this was followed by the joint interview with the president on 60 Minutes, in which Obama effused that Hillary will go down as one of the finest secretaries of state weve had. Take that, John Quincy Adams!
He called her a strong friend. She called him a partner and friend. (In the outside world, they get along fine. But, as Clinton once said in an interview, We dont hang out.) Then on to a seemingly endless set of farewell appearances, including a global town hall, in which she answered a question about the future of the mineral resources in Antarctica.
Meanwhile, Tim Geithner retired as Treasury secretary. Did you notice?
Even though shes probably not going to go home and rest on her laurels, she really does deserve a chance to nap on them. Clinton is 65, and shes spent the last section of her life working with and competing against people who are generally much younger than she is.
Once, during the presidential race, she told me that she liked seeing me on the campaign plane because it was the only time there was somebody her own age on board. I just had to tell people what Sputnik was, she reported.
Women of Clintons generation have a special bond with her because she encapsulates their story. She spoke for their rebel youth at her Wellesley graduation, demanding a more immediate, ecstatic and penetrating mode of living than the older generation ever knew. (Was she imagining that it would include 570 airline meals? The Idaho caucus? Eight state fairs?)
Then Hillary Rodham became Hillary Clinton, the wife who worked to support the family and her husbands dreams. But somehow, thanks to her talents and terrifying work ethic, she wound up getting a much more spectacular professional life than she could ever have achieved with a normal career trajectory.
When she campaigned for the Senate, you could see crowds of middle-aged women cheering like kids at a rock concert for one of their own, who had confirmed their private yearnings for a second, or maybe third, act.
And then there was the first-woman-president dream, which didnt happen. But she turned the failure into something so positive that it felt like a success. Now her diplomatic period is over. Being Hillary Clinton, shell never look back and wonder how many of those 1,700 meetings she could have skipped without endangering the stability of the planet.
No regrets. Onward and upward.

Kids rode the Tilt a Whirl. Some of the wares for sale were garage sale junk, like used toasters or old shoes, but most of the products were new, and of these, most were either made in America or imported by American companies.
Whats key is that vendors used Mexican marketing to sell goods they purchased from American companies. In produce stalls, for instance, some vendors displayed fruits and vegetables on small paper plates on long tables. A plate of small tomatoes sold for a dollar. The same tomatoes could be found in bins in local grocery stores, for about the same price, but newly arrived immigrants preferred the small-plate-for-a-dollar marketing. It reminded them of home.
About 15 percent of the stalls in Los Perros were empty, an indication that people had either left town, or were too spooked by the sheriff and the laws to shop in an open marketplace.
They had reason to be spooked.
Sheriff Joes deputies had twice raided the Mercado, another open-air swap meet. Once, in 2007, deputies said they were investigating underage drinking. The second time, in 2009, they said they were investigating complaints of sales of pirated videos. A few arrests were made, but the effects on this once-popular Mexican immigrant market were more than damaging. In the early 1990s, a lumber company owner and palm-tree farmer named Herb Owens noticed that Latinos frequented a nearby swap meet. He figured if he shaded his parking lot, and added bathrooms, he could offer a better venue to these Latino merchants and shoppers. His El Gran Mercado, The Great Market, was an overnight success. He expanded the space, added two dance pavilions and booked some of the best Latino bands in the country. This way, he attracted two crowdsfamilies in the daytime and men and women dressed to the nines for the evening concerts and dances.
Herb Owens was born in 1932, in Phoenix. His parents were local Anglo farmers who eventually branched out into construction. Like most people who grew up in farms around Phoenix, Herb Owens learned Spanish as a child. The agricultural workers were Mexicans and so were his schoolmates. He respected Mexican culture.
When I first wrote about Owenss Mercado in 1997, 1.5 million people visited it each year. The last time I talked to him, the two raids had taken their toll on his business. Visitor attendance for 2009 had dropped to 750,000about one-half of the pre-raids count. Whats more, after Sheriff Joes second raid, monthly attendance plummeted once againdown from 95,000 visitors in March 2009 to 30,000 visitors in September 2009. He needed 60,000 monthly visitors to break even.
Owens viewed the last raid, in which deputies combed the Mercado for hours and arrested seven adults and three kids in connection with allegedly pirated videos, as disastrous and an abuse of power that had the intended effect of frightening customers and vendors from the swap meet.
The Mercado had been successful because first-generation Mexican immigrants felt comfortable there. They wanted to buy American goods as well as Mexican imports. But they preferred the Mexican-style open-air market atmosphere to American stores with fixed prices. The raids impacted not only swap meet vendors, but American wholesalers, importers, and, of course, Herb Owens.
Ironically, Owens had for years hired Sheriff Joes off-duty deputies to act as security guards for the Mercado. It had been a happy arrangement, Owens told me, until several years ago, when the off-duty deputies were no longer allowed to work for him. The sheriff withdrew them, Owens said. That happened about the same time that Sheriff Joe began his raids.
Recently, I visited the Mercado. The Spanish-speaking vendors were dispirited; many said they werent making enough money to break even and they were thinking of pulling up stakes and moving to another state.
We depend on undocumented people, said Angela, a vendor who sold religious amulets, paintings, statues. Some weekends, Angela didnt sell enough to cover her $173 rental fee for the stall, and her booth was one of the most popular, because, Angela said, desperate people pray.
Jesus icons and rosaries still sold well, she told me. The best selling saint was the Virgen de Guadalupe, the brown-skinned Madonna of Mexico, but St. Jude, the patron saint of lost causes, came in a close second. After that, Santa Muerte and Malverde and other saints competed for the dollars of those desperate people who pray.
One morning, Inocencio let me accompany him on a buying trip to his suppliers warehouses owned by American companies. Our first stop was at a large Mexican import warehouse in south central Phoenix. The warehouse was owned by an American company and carried American products, too. Inocencio took his sweet time, wandering up and down the aisles looking at cases of prayer candles. Araceli had been after him to buy a case of those thick candles encased in glass stamped with images of religious icons, like the Virgin of Guadalupe. Araceli knew that in hard times these prayer candles sold well. Shed seen them fly off the walls of yerberías, Mexican herbal remedy stores patronized by many newly arrived immigrants.

- Predictors of pulmonary failure following severe trauma: a trauma registry-based analysis (2013)
- Background: The incidence of pulmonary failure in trauma patients is considered to be influenced by several factors such as liver injury. We intended to assess the association of various potential predictors of pulmonary failure following thoracic trauma and liver injury. Methods: Records of 12,585 trauma patients documented in the TraumaRegister DGU® of the German Trauma Society were analyzed regarding the potential impact of concomitant liver injury on the incidence of pulmonary failure using uni- and multivariate analyses. Pulmonary failure was defined as pulmonary failure of ≥ 3 SOFA-score points for at least two days. Patients were subdivided according to their injury pattern into four groups: group 1: AIS thorax < 3; AIS liver < 3; group 2: AIS thorax ≥ 3; AIS liver < 3; group 3: AIS thorax < 3; AIS liver ≥ 3 and group 4: AIS thorax ≥ 3; AIS liver ≥ 3. Results: Overall, 2643 (21%) developed pulmonary failure, 12% (n= 642) in group 1, 26% (n= 697) in group 2, 16% (n= 30) in group 3, and 36% (n= 188) in group 4. Factors independently associated with pulmonary failure included relevant lung injury, pre-existing medical conditions (PMC), sex, transfusion of more than 10 units of packed red blood cells (PRBC), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) ≤ 8, and the ISS. However, liver injury was not associated with an increased risk of pulmonary failure following severe trauma in our setting. Conclusions: Specific factors, but not liver injury, were associated with an increased risk of pulmonary failure following trauma. Trauma surgeons should be aware of these factors for optimized intensive care treatment.
- Circulating leukotriene b4 identifies respiratory complications after trauma (2012)
- Background. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a proinflammatory lipid mediator correlates well with the acute phase of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). Therefore, LTB4-levels were investigated to determine whether they might be a useful clinical marker in predicting pulmonary complications (PC) in multiply traumatized patients. Methods: Plasma levels of LTB4 were determined in 100 patients on admission (ED) and for five consecutive days (daily). Twenty healthy volunteers served as control. LTB4-levels were measured by ELISA. Thirty patients developed PC (pneumonia, respiratory failure, acute lung injury (ALI), ARDS, pulmonary embolism) and 70 had no PC (ØPC). Results. LTB4-levels in the PC-group [127.8 pg/mL, IQR: 104–200pg/ml] were significantly higher compared to the ØPC-group on admission [95.6 pg/mL, IQR: 55–143 pg/mL] or control-group [58.4 pg/mL, IQR: 36–108 pg/mL]. LTB4 continuously declined to basal levels from day 1 to 5 without differences between the groups. The cutoff to predict PC was calculated at 109.6 pg/mL (72% specificity, 67% sensitivity). LTB4 was not influenced by overall or chest injury severity, age, gender or massive transfusion. Patients with PC received mechanical ventilation for a significantly longer period of time, and had prolonged intensive care unit and overall hospital stay. Conclusion. High LTB4-levels indicate risk for PC development in multiply traumatized patients
- Soluble triggering receptor on myeloid cells-1 is expressed in the course of non-infectious inflammation after traumatic lung contusion : a prospective cohort study (2011)
- Introduction: The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is known to be expressed during bacterial infections. We investigated whether TREM-1 is also expressed in non-infectious inflammation following traumatic lung contusion. Methods: In a study population of 45 adult patients with multiple trauma and lung contusion, we obtained bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) (blind suctioning of 20 ml NaCl (0.9%) via jet catheter) and collected blood samples at two time points (16 hours and 40 hours) after trauma. Post hoc patients were assigned to one of four groups radiologically classified according to the severity of lung contusion based on the initial chest tomography. Concentration of soluble TREM-1 (sTREM-1) and bacterial growth were determined in the BAL. sTREM-1, IL-6, IL-10, lipopolysaccharide binding protein, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein and leukocyte count were assessed in blood samples. Pulmonary function was evaluated by the paO2/FiO2 ratio. Results: Three patients were excluded due to positive bacterial growth in the initial BAL. In 42 patients the severity of lung contusion correlated with the levels of sTREM-1 16 hours and 40 hours after trauma. sTREM-1 levels were significantly (P < 0.01) elevated in patients with severe contusion (2,184 pg/ml (620 to 4,000 pg/ml)) in comparison with patients with mild (339 pg/ml (135 to 731 pg/ml)) or no (217 pg/ml (97 to 701 pg/ml)) contusion 40 hours following trauma. At both time points the paO2/FiO2 ratio correlated negatively with sTREM-1 levels (Spearman correlation coefficient = -0.446, P < 0.01). Conclusions: sTREM-1 levels are elevated in the BAL of patients following pulmonary contusion. Furthermore, the levels of sTREM-1 in the BAL correlate well with both the severity of radiological pulmonary tissue damage and functional impairment of gas exchange (paO2/FiO2 ratio).

Editor's Note: The Georgetown Times does not condone the use of any profanity or obscenity. It is our normal policy to delete any such words. In this particular case, we are not repeating the words themselves but there are instances that indicate the words used by the male who is shouting. Because of the nature of what took place on the bus, we believe readers should be aware of the language. Reader discretion is advised.
— Tommy Howard, Editor
The Georgetown County School District has confirmed it is investigating allegations of verbal abuse that reportedly occurred on an activity bus Wednesday evening and that an employee has been placed on administrative leave.
The name of the employee has not been released by the district.
The Georgetown Times has been told the incident occurred on the bus being used to transport football players from Rosemary Middle School after the team lost to Carvers Bay Middle School.
A video that was sent to The Georgetown Times was reportedly taken by a student on the bus.
The minute-and-a-half video clip begins with the players who seem to be happy but then they get silent. A male voice is then heard screaming at them.
While some of what was being said was inaudible, several instances of profanity can be heard from the man doing the screaming.
"You got your a---- handed to you," the person shouts. "They beat the hell out of you. Ain't none of y'all gonna play next year. I'll make sure of that."
The shouting continued with the use of the "F" word.
"It is [expletive] ridiculous. Y'all act like you just won a G—D---- state championship but you lost all but one G—D--- football game," the tirade continued. "Y'all are [expletive] losers. Laugh all you want. You will not play next year. I will make sure of that."
Noise from the bus drowns out what else was said.
Because the student was trying to hide the fact he was videoing, the face of the screamer is not seen.
Rosemary Middle principal Michael Caviris said when he received information about the video Thursday morning he followed protocol and turned everything over to the district office. He would not answer any questions specifically about the matter while it is being investigated.
He did, however, say when the team travels it is only the players, coaches and driver on the bus.
District Superintendent Dr. Randy Dozier confirms he has a copy of the video "that appears to have been taken on a District activity bus on the way home from an athletic event."
He said the district is trying "to substantiate the date, time, place and persons who are depicted in the video."
Dozier said "the use of any abusive, profane or inappropriate language by school personnel, whether that language occurs in the classroom, on the athletic field, or in any other school-sponsored setting" is not condoned.
He said the district "has a staff conduct policy in place that addresses the use of unacceptable language. That policy is regularly reviewed with school personnel. At this point, this is a personnel matter and will be handled as such."
Late Friday, Dozier was asked if it was true an employee has been placed on leave.
"In order to avoid tainting the process, the District does not generally release the names of school personnel who are being investigated by the District related to possible misconduct. In accordance with State law and Board policy, whenever there is possible misconduct by a teacher, that teacher is placed on paid administrative leave until such time as the investigation has been completed," Dozier said.

http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/World/Story/STIStory_785963.htmlPakistanis burn US flags at bounty protests
ISLAMABAD (AFP) - Hundreds of Islamist activists hit the streets of Pakistan on Friday, demanding holy war and torching United States (US) flags to condemn a US$10 million (S$12.6 million) bounty slapped on the founder of a terror group.
The Defence Council of Pakistan, an alliance of right-wing, religious and extremist groups, organised the rallies to denounce the US move against Hafiz Saeed, whose Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) group was blamed for the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Protests, albeit with rather a paltry turnout in places, were organised in Islamabad, the neighbouring garrison city of Rawalpindi, the central shrine city of Multan and in Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistani-administered Kashmir.
In Muzaffarabad, around 500 activists shouted 'Al-Jihad, Al-Jihad (holy war)' as they marched on the city and set fire to a US flag in a main square.
http://tribune.com.pk/story/361831/stranded-by-violence-over-100-foreigners-evacuated-from-g-b/Stranded by violence: Over 100 foreigners evacuated from G-B
According to sources, nearly 80 of the foreigners were stranded in Hunza Valley while others in Skardu and Gilgit.
According to sources, a special army task force reached Gilgit from Islamabad on Sunday morning and conducted the operation.
A witness claimed to have seen nearly 100 foreigners in a five star hotel in Gilgit, who were later flown to the federal capital.
Sectarian violence broke out in Gilgit on Tuesday after assailants lobbed a hand grenade at a rally called by the Ahle Sunnat wal Jamaat (ASWJ), leaving six people dead and 50 injured.
In retaliation, at least 10 members of the Shia community were killed in Chilas as an enraged mob set alight four buses en route to Skardu and Gilgit via the Karakoram Highway.
Meanwhile, 31 persons being held captive in Nagar Valley for the past five days in retaliation for Chilas killings have still not been recovered despite government's continued negotiations with the community elders.
90-year-old Pakistan woman suspected in murder of daughter-in-law
Wednesday, 11 April 2012
By AFP
LAHORE Pakistan
A Pakistani woman was doused with petrol and burned alive in a dispute with her husband's family, police said Wednesday, with her 90-year-old mother-in-law among those named as suspects.
Mother-of-one Sobia Bibi, 25, died after she was attacked while watching television in the house she shared with her in-laws, investigating officer Sub-Inspector Muhammad Hussain said.
Hussain said a case had been registered against four people over the March 27 attack in a village in Narowal district, northeast of the eastern city of Lahore, including the victim's 90-year-old mother-in-law.
Sobia Bibi had a good relationship with her husband, who was working in Karachi at the time of the attack, Hussain said, but had frequently quarreled with his family.
British nurse seized in Quetta: Pakistan police make arrests
Senior Quetta police official Nazir Kurd said they had made progress on tracking down the aid worker's assailants on Friday.
"We have identified the group which is involved in Dale's kidnapping. We arrested some people in this regard," he said. He refused to disclose any more details because of security concerns and declined to speculate on whether Dale was likely to still be in Quetta or not.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/pakistan/8997918/British-nurse-seized-in-Quetta-Pakistan-police-make-arrests.htmlIn the past few months increasing numbers of locals have been seized by kidnappers in Quetta as both Islamist and nationalist groups seek to raise funds, Islamabad-based security analyst Amir Rana said.
Eén jaar later: Hommage aan bin Laden in Pakistan
In Pakistan hebben honderden mensen in Quetta, een stad in het zuidwesten van het land, een hommage gebracht aan de terroristenleider Osama bin Laden. Bin Laden werd een jaar geleden in Pakistan gedood door een Amerikaans commando.
Meer dan 500 militanten van de religieuze partij Jamiat-Ulema-e-Islam, nauw verwant met de taliban, verzamelden op het Mezanplein in het stadscentrum. Ze droegen portretten bij zich van de overleden terroristenleider en staken een Amerikaanse vlag in brand.
"Osama was een held van heel de moslimwereld, het was een echte moedjahedien (een islamstrijder)", aldus een politiek verantwoordelijke. "Vandaag zijn we bijeengekomen om hommage te brengen aan hem. Hij zit voor altijd in onze harten." De manifestanten baden ook voor mollah Omar, de chef van de Afghaanse taliban.
Osama bin Laden werd op 2 mei 2011 door Amerikaanse troepen in Abbottabad gedood. Hij hield zich verborgen in een huis op slechts enkele honderden meters van de grootste Pakistaanse militaire academie, wat vermoedens deed ontstaan over een samenwerking tussen het Pakistaanse leger en de islamistische netwerken.
Islamabad richtte een onderzoekscommissie op die de zaak moest onderzoeken, maar die commissie is tot op de dag van vandaag nog niet met conclusies naar buiten gekomen.
http://tribune.com.pk/story/373787/anti-ahmedi-laws-police-act-as-worship-place-looks-like-a-mosque/Anti-Ahmedi laws: Police act as worship place 'looks like a mosque'
After receiving a complaint about the place of worship in Sultanpura, Kachhupura, a large contingent of Misri Shah police visited it on Wednesday and told the Ahmedis they had a day to make the place look less like a mosque, failing which a case would be registered against them under the 'Anti-lslamic Activities of Qadiani Group, Lahori Group and Ahmadis (Prohibition and Punishment) Ordinance' of 1984.
The policemen etched out the verses at the main gate and entrance to the main hall. They were about to tear down the minarets, about five feet high, at the main gate too, but local Ahmedis convinced them to give them a day to cover them as demolishing them would have damaged the whole structure.[...]
The complainants, who are residents of Ravi Road, about 15 kilometres from the place of worship, said that the building had the Kalma Tayyeba, names of Allah and prayer verses written at the entrance as well as minarets. "They are non-Muslims and should be tried under the law for depicting themselves as Muslims," read the complaint.
According to 295-B, "whoever wilfully defiles, damages or desecrates a copy of the Holy Quran or of an extract therefrom or uses it in any derogatory manner or for any unlawful purpose shall be punishable with imprisonment for life."
According to 298-C, "any person of the Qadiani Group or the Lahori Group (who call themselves 'Ahmedis' or by any other name), who directly or indirectly, poses as a Muslim, or calls, or refers to, his faith as Islam, or preaches or propagates his faith, or invites others to accept his faith, by words, either spoken or written, or by visible representations, or in any manner whatsoever outrages the religious feelings of Muslims shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years and shall also be liable to fine."
Swiss ex-hostages speak of Taliban kidnap ordeal
Two Swiss former hostages who escaped their Taliban captors in March after eight months in a Pakistani tribal zone told a newspaper on Sunday of their ordeal, giving a rare glimpse into the torn region.
As well as providing the first details of their escape, the couple painted a depressing picture of life in captivity, where their guards spent hours watching suicide-attack videos and fantasized about getting blown up by US drones.
Olivier David Och, 32, and Daniela Widmer, 29, were abducted on July 1st while on holiday in Pakistan's southwestern province of Baluchistan. They were returning by road from a trip to India, despite Swiss government warnings about the risk of kidnapping, when they were seized by gunmen.
Verzorgers zoo bestellen alcohol voor olifanten, maar zuipen die zelf op
Groot schandaal in de Marghazar Zoo in de Pakistaanse hoofdstad Islamabad. Daar is aan het licht gekomen dat de verzorgers al twintig jaar de alcohol hebben opgezopen die bedoeld was om de olifanten te kalmeren. Geen klein bier, om het zo te zeggen, in het bij uitstek islamitische land waar het gebruiken van alcohol niet hoort.
Sinds 1992 bestelden de verzorgers steevast liters alcohol. Die moest dienen om de olifanten te bedaren tijdens de paringstijd. Maar de olifanten hebben nooit een druppel van die geestrijke drank gezien, laat staan gedronken.
Bovendien werd er elk jaar meer alcohol besteld bij een lokale stoker. De verzorgers zetten daarbovenop de directie zwaar onder druk. Indien de olifanten hun dosis booze niet kregen, zouden de mastodonten wel eens zware averij kunnen veroorzaken in de dierentuin.
Nieuwe boekhouder
De oplichting kwam aan het licht toen een nieuwe boekhouder zich vragen ging stellen waarom er de voorbije twee decennia telkens voor zo'n 700 euro per jaar aan alcohol werd gespendeerd. Deze uitgavenpost stond vermeld bij de kosten voor dierenvoeding.
De boekhouder ging te rade bij de hoofdierenarts van de Marghazar Zoo. Die kon zich geen enkel dier bedenken dat baat heeft bij een goede neut. Integendeel, alcohol is schadelijk voor dieren.
Intern onderzoek wees uit dat de alcohol naar hartenlust werd genuttigd door de olifantenverzorgers. De aankoop van het geestrijk vocht werd meteen geschrapt. De hoofdverzorger en zijn assistent werden geschorst.

http://pakobserver.net/detailnews.asp?id=160618Quetta—A mob attacked a police station here on Saturday demanding a man detained for allegedly desecrating the Quran be handed over, leaving one person dead and 19 with gunshot wounds.
Violence erupted after police arrested a "mentally retarded" man said to have burnt pages of the holy book in Kuchlak, about 16 kilometres north of Quetta.
"Angry protesters, mostly Afghan refugees, torched several vehicles and pelted police with stones," Dashti said.
"Chanting the man should be killed for blasphemy, they later entered the police station and started firing," he said, adding that a senior police officer narrowly escaped while his police guard was wounded in the shooting. Police fired tear gas shells and opened fire in self defence, Quetta police chief Qazi Wajid said.
The clash left one protester dead and 19 people wounded including eight policemen, he said. "All the wounded people have bullet injuries," he added.
The protesters said the man deserved death for blasphemy and demanded police hand him over to them, he said.
"The man appeared to be mentally retarded, we have taken him into custody and ordered an investigation," Wajid said, adding that control had been restored.
http://www.sentinelandenterprise.com/editorial/ci_20923948/radical-islam-blocks-polio-fightRadical Islam blocks polio fight
At the start of the new millennium, the United Nations' health organizations, WHO and UNICEF, were reasonably confident that polio could be eradicated by the end of 2004.
Then came radical Islam, with its suspicions about -- if not downright hatred of -- the United States. Muslim leaders in northern Nigeria announced that they were blocking U.N. immunizations of children because, they believed, the vaccines were laced with HIV and sterilization chemicals: It was all part of a sinister U.S. plot to reduce the Muslim population.
Whether the villagers believed this nonsense was immaterial because the Islamic radicals were prepared to stop the immunizations by force.
The disease spread to southern Nigeria and seven neighboring West African nations, and it has been a slow process to recoup the lost ground.
Now a Pakistani Taliban commander in North Waziristan has banned a polio-inoculation program just days before 161,000 children under age 5 were to be vaccinated. If this ban stands, it is a heartbreaking setback in the drive to eliminate the disease.
The commander, Hafiz Gul Bahadur, said he would allow the program to go forward if the U.S. stops all drone strikes. In a way, holding the children hostage to this crippling disease is a backhanded compliment: It suggests that the U.S. is too humane to allow this to happen and that we care more about Pakistan's children than Taliban leaders do.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-18713545Pakistan mob burns man to death for 'blasphemy'
A Pakistani mob has taken a man accused of blasphemy from a police station and burnt him to death, police say.
The man was being held for allegedly burning a copy of the Koran in public. The incident took place on the outskirts of Bahawalpur, in Punjab province.
Witnesses said hundreds of people looked on as he screamed for help.
Pakistan's controversial blasphemy law imposes the death penalty for insulting Islam, but it is rarely carried out.
The area where the lynching took place is home to hundreds of madrassas - religious schools - run by radical Islamist or sectarian groups.
Police said they detained the man after locals complained that he had desecrated the Koran.
But before the allegation could be investigated, thousands of angry people surrounded the police station, police said.
"They were demanding that we kill him in front of them, or they'll take him away and kill him themselves," police inspector Ghulam Mohiuddin told the BBC.
After officers unsuccessfully tried to calm the crowd, it attacked the station, as police tried to disperse it with tear gas. Several policemen were wounded in the violence.
The mob put up roadblocks to prevent police reinforcements from reaching the area, officers said.
"We were totally outnumbered. There were too many of them and they were hysterical. Eventually, they succeeded in taking him away," said one.
The man was reportedly beaten and dragged to the spot where he is said to have desecrated the Koran.
The mob then poured petrol on him and set him on fire, according to witnesses.
Police say they are trying to identify the victim, who was said to be mentally unstable.
"The man had no idea what was going on," said an official.
"While he was in our custody, he kept laughing and chanting."
A case has been registered against unknown attackers. No arrests have been made yet.

ISLAMABAD - De Pakistaanse politie heeft een groot aantal oude boeddhistische beelden weten te onderscheppen die op het punt stonden het land uit te worden gesmokkeld.
Salimul Hag van het staatsdepartement van archeologie zei zaterdag dat de artefacten op de zwarte markt mogelijk miljoenen dollars zouden hebben opgebracht.
De buit bevatte onder meer beelden van Boeddha en andere religieuze figuren die mogelijk meer dan tweeduizend jaar oud zijn.
Pakistani cop kills sister for wearing jeans
LAHORE: A Pakistani policeman in Lahore allegedly shot dead his sister on Friday for wearing jeans, officials said on Saturday. Constable Asad Ali was unhappy with his sister Najma Bibi, 22, for wearing what he considered 'men's clothes', especially jeans.
The siblings often quarrelled over the issue. A few days ago, Ali had warned his sister that he would kill her if she did not stop wearing jeans and trousers. Subsequently, Najma filed a complaint against her brother at the police station in the Shahdara and sought protection. However , the police took no action.
According to the FIR, Ali followed Najma when she left the house on Friday and allegedly fired at her near Shahdara Morr, killing her instantly. Ali managed to escape and police are conducting raids.

Ondanks de campagne van de taliban in Pakistan tegen onderwijs voor meisjes, deden zij het dit jaar beter dan jongens bij de eindexamens van het secundair onderwijs.
Ook de deelname zelf was een succes. In totaal deden 265.000 leerlingen examen, inclusief 115.342 meisjes.
De resultaten zijn bemoedigend voor de autoriteiten in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) en de Federaal Bestuurde Tribale Gebieden (FATA) in het noorden van Pakistan. "We zijn hier erg blij mee, gezien de houding van de taliban ten opzichte van onderwijs aan meisjes", zegt Mian Iftikhar Hussain, de minister van Informatie van KP.
"In de afgelopen vijf jaar zijn ongeveer 700 scholen aangevallen in KP en de FATA. Desondanks scoren meisjes hoog bij de eindexamens. De vijftien beste leerlingen bleken allemaal meisjes", zegt Hussain.
In de door militanten geteisterde regio Malakand in KP, zaten er tien meisjes bij de beste twintig leerlingen. Tussen 2007 en 2009 werden 181 scholen in Malakand verwoest, waarvan 118 meisjesscholen.
"Anderhalf jaar lang kon ik niet naar school door de taliban, maar in 2009 werden ze verslagen. Sinds die tijd heb ik hard gestudeerd", zegt Farzana Bibi, die in Swat bij de best scorende leerlingen hoort. "Ik wil graag arts worden en me richten op vrouwen in deze streek."
In KP kan maar 17 procent van de vrouwen lezen en schrijven, in de FATA is dat 43 procent. Het Pakistaanse gemiddelde is 68 procent.
"Mensen die het zich konden veroorloven, zijn naar Peshawar en andere veilige plaatsen verhuisd. Daar is beter onderwijs voor meisjes", zegt examinator Islamuddin Khan.
Averechts effect
Volgens Mubarak Shah, een pedagoog die werkt bij de Universiteit van Peshawar, heeft het verbod van de taliban op onderwijs voor meisjes averechts gewerkt. "De meeste meisjes hebben nu het idee dat onderwijs iets heel kostbaars is waar de taliban hen vanaf wil houden. Daardoor zijn ze extra gemotiveerd om hun school af te maken."
De volgende stap is het vinden van een lucratieve carrière, zegt hij.
Desecration' of holy Quran sparks wild protests
LAHORE: Thousands of residents and shopkeepers of Misri Shah Main Market took to the streets against the alleged desecration of the holy Quran on Wednesday.
The residents of Katchupura, Misri Shah, said that two men had a quarrel, during which one of them, Shafiq, got emotional and allegedly tore up the holy book.
This sparked a massive protest, with people coming out of their homes to condemn the act. The protesters burnt tyres and strongly denounced the desecration of the holy Quran. They demanded an independent probe into the incident to bring the culprit to justice. An FIR has been lodged in this regard.

Never let it be said that Im not a sentimental guy.
I get emotional with the best of them and this week I touched on three of my list of Five Things That Make Me Cry.
I got a little bit weepy.
And when I say weepy, I dont mean sucking back a few sniffles and blinking away the stray tear. Im talking about full-on, rib-heaving sobs with drool line trailing from the lower lip.
There are five things on this earth that will make me do that. They are: 1. Ceremonial baseball moments; 2. Bagpipes; 3. Superman; 4. Weddings, and 5. Happy endings.
These things are my kryptonite. I am powerless against them.
When LeBron James announced he was leaving Miami and returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers I got a little weepy. Four years of hatred and resentment were washed away with one stroke of the pen.
I am a LeBron James fan again. All is forgiven. Hes coming home.
Now I hate the Houston Rockets and Dwight Howard because nobody wears a Superman cape and then plays basketball like Howard does. Thats a disgrace to the bath towel.
Plus, he abandoned Kobe.
Bagpipes get me the same way. And the pipers dont even have to start playing for the brain rains to come. All I have to hear is the snick of the snare drum and Im a goner.
I saw a You Tube video of the Bad Piper, some dude in a skirt wearing a bad mohawk playing AC/DCs Thunderstruck on the bagpipes.
I started crying.
Its Thunderstruck. Nobody cries at Thunderstruck. But I do.
I really dont have to explain this next one. Just let me say one word: Superman.
I believe a man can fly.
I remember the first time I ever saw a Superman comic. It was 1966. I was eight. I was on vacation and noticed the comic book rack positioned near the front counter. I saw the red cape and blue tights, dashed to the linen closet looking for the nearest bath towel, and started wearing my Fruit of the Looms outside my pants.
My parents talked to me for a long time about that one.
Son, do you know you are wearing your underwear outside your pants?
Yes father, thats how Superman wears his.
Thats when I noticed my dad had developed this nervous kind of eye twitch.
I also tear up at happy endings, when the guy finally gets the girl. Thats the reason why I sit in the front row during movings.
I just have to be careful not to sniff.
Romantic comedies are my favorite as they arent so serious but theres always that spice of romance at the end.
I love it when the guy gets the girl.
And last, weddings. Specifically, any family members wedding.
I drove half way up the east coast last week to attend my nieces wedding over July 4 weekend in Williamsburg, Virginia, the capital of Fourth of July celebrations apparently as everybody and their brother descended upon Colonial Williamsburg and everybody got there ahead of me.
The chapel was an old English style chapel where the congregation faces each other rather than face front.
My Adams apple was bobbing like Sugar Ray Leonard and I bit a hole in my lower lip. All this because they hired a harpist to play the wedding music.
Forget about when the bride walks down the aisle. I walk into the church, sit down and grab a hanky.
And everybody knows its coming too. Especially when I do the hehehehe shoulder heave.

My thought was that decaffeinated coffee should be gluten free but when you add a creamer or sweetener that can change things considerably so you would have to read the labels on those things you might add. Knowing the sneaky ways that manufacturers get around things with fancy names for ingredients like if you see "Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein" translation is "Wheat Flour"found that after long searches.
To be sure do a search on "Is coffee gluten-free". I found a site that gives all the answers to what you need but am not allowed to give other sites in my answer to you.
Good luck, keep questioning and read labels.

Cailynn Hyler is just three, and, while she was having fun at the Aiken Relay For Life Friday, she of course didn't comprehend what was happening.
When she turns 16, Cailynn will get a letter from her mother Dana, who will explain how her daughter saved her life.
"I was pregnant with Cailynn when my doctors found a mass around my cervix," Hyler said. "She's my little miracle. If I hadn't been pregnant, they wouldn't have found it."
Hundreds of survivors, family members, friends and community volunteers came to South Aiken High School for the annual event, which celebrates those who have survived and honors those who battled as long as they could. Everyone there had connections to the disease that strikes so many people throughout the nation and beyond. Paula Turner served as cochairman this year whit Amber Holcomb.
"I had been involved with Relay years ago, then my mother died of colon cancer six years ago," Turner said, "so I've gotten more involved since then. It's been really exciting. These teams out here are so into Relay. They're doing amazing things, and we're doing all we can to fight cancer."
The activities and the food and the camaraderie are always a treat. It's the stories that compel, that touch the heart in unexpected ways – grief and hope and joy and faith all emerging at once. By 8 p.m., it was not yet dark, but, by 10 p.m., the stadium lights would go out, leaving only the illumination of the luminaries that remember some and celebrate others.
Through seven years as a survivor, Shirley Abney has willingly served as a volunteer to promote and engage in Relay efforts.
"In my first year as a survivor, I knew I wanted to do something," she said. "I absolutely love Relay. I had a stroke back in August, but I was determined I was going to do this Relay. I'm here and thankful for that."
Brooke Rykard truly bounced around the track during the Survivor's Walk – undeterred by the cancer diagnosed in February and the following chemotherapy that has left her without her hair. But that is of little consequence; Rykard's mother Lecia learned last summer she had cancer. She died a few weeks ago.
"It means so much to be here tonight," Rykard said. "I get to represent here and myself.
Houston Brown and Raymond Ergle made their way around the track – Brown's arm over Ergle's shoulder, and Ergle's arm in turn around his friend's back. They've gone to the same church, but didn't get to know each other well until about two years ago. Both were diagnosed with prostate cancer a year or so apart.
"Being arm-in-arm here means a lot," Brown said. "You just realize how blessed you are."
Dana Hyler had been pregnant for six months with Cailynn when she learned of the tumor. It was so large that Hyler couldn't hold her in any longer at 8 months. Doctors decided on a C-section and subsequent hysterectomy. As for Cailynn, she has been healthy ever since.
"I'm great and well on the way to recovery," Hyler said. "I'm living every day to the fullest, and I have a wonderful support system. I can't wait to share with my daughter how she saved her mother's life. God put a miracle there."

How much are you training?
How has your appetite changed?
What external factors that may cause stress do you have?
Have you ever had 'bouts' with depression before? (Don't need to answer this.)
Could just be the winter blahs, or most of the time in my case, just overtraining and not enough rest days.Surfing Facebook at work? Spread the good word by adding us on Facebook today! https://www.facebook.com/Bullshido

Style: Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Girl--
Depending on how you are training, it could just be severe overtraining, which it sounds like it could be.
My boyfriend just took a week off from doing anything before he starts training for his next fight which is about 8 weeks away. The last day he lifted weights was March 18 and he just lifted today for the first time since then. Before he was having trouble increasing either his reps or the weight on his exercises and was feeling a lack of motivation about his workouts. Today he said he increased the reps (with the same weight) on all of his exercises by 3-5, and felt pretty good. This is case of mild overtraining, which is where you want to catch it, before it gets to the point you are possibly at right now.

Style: LARPing--Originally Posted by PizDoff
but usually since wrestling stopped a couple of months ago?
TKD 7:30 - 9:30 Mondays and tuedays, and an hour and a half on saturdays.
Ju jitsu 1-2 hours 2 times every week.
and my paper route which is 2 times every week and takes 2 hours each time.
No other jobs besides my paper route. so thats about it for physical activity besides bag work everyonce in awhile. so all together? 10-12 hours of training a week.
I'd like to add that i'm failing grade 11 math (oh well i'm only in grade 10).
when I did wrestling it was 13-16ish hours a week.
I'm starting wrestling once wrestling season starts again (Next winter),
has my apetite changed? - Yes I have been EXTREMELY HUNGRY lately.
what external factors for stress do I have - school!!!, parents, friends (alot of friends I have put alot of stress on me), all my training puts physical stress on me, My thoughts on the future..if i'll even have one.
have I had bouts with depression? - Yeah, but lately it doesn't seem to bother me as much, probably because I'm too busy to notice it and socially my life has been doing better.(BTW, I don't really care about saying I have it, I don't preach about it but I could care less, other people have it alot worse than me)
do I have mono? Maybe. My friend had mono earlier this year and I grapple with him often and do bag work with him sometimes and clinch drills. havn't been too sore muscle wise. Have had extremely mild headaches but attributed it to my slight tmjd (its around there). I need alot of sleep, and even my max amount of sleep I can get isn't enough.
Please post feed back as i want to be energetic but IN GREAT shape again.
P.S My knees have been hurting lately

I remember reading something on the Forum about pre-filled heparin syringes. I can't recall if the pre-filled ones are GOOD or BAD. Please help.
Just found out I am about 5 weeks pregnant. I was diagnosed with mild preeclampsia 6 months ago and 48 hours later (at 32 weeks) my son died. It has been a very tough emotional roller coaster and I'm sure the next 35 weeks aren't going to be much different.

7 Fashion Myths Debunked from instyle.com
MYTH: No Minis on Women over 35 TRUTH: All it takes is a peek at Gwyneth Paltrow's legs in her Preen dress to dispel this fallacy. If you've got the gams, go for it! Just stick to understated silhouettes and "simple hair and makeup."
