I haven't read to many of the previous comments, but I cannot emphasize enough how much I dislike this new design. The old template was and is used by tons of news sites, and did it's job quite well in my opinion. This new design is incredibly difficult to comprehend, and I'm a 23 year old college graduate. I can't even tell what or where the headline news is. I already stopped reading the TPs pieces on the saints because that page was redesigned poorly. Unless Nola.com reverts back to the old page or makes major changes to this one, I'm going to be getting my local news elsewhere.
You are totally right. The city wouldn't ever consider telling us how many man hours were spent on this obviously high profile drug bust. Now take into account the hundreds, maybe thousands of man hours that will be spent because a thug with a badge shot first before asking questions. But don't worry concerned citizens! The fine officers of the NOPD took a quarter pound of swag weed, street value approximately $500 to $1000 dollars, off the streets. Now just shake your fist while the mayor and his pals tell you that they're taking care of it. Maybe when the mayors done counting his red light camera money he'll take a look at this for a minute. Actually, probably not.
So because they have no means of doing physical damage to me as a motorist, they have the right to drive down the middle of the street, blow through a stop sign, turn across multiple lanes of traffic, and any of the other multiple actions bicyclists take every day that endanger themselves and the motorists that have to deal with them? I think not. Ever heard of a sidewalk?
I echo the feelings of the first few comments. This article does not mention in any way how unconcerned for auto traffic many people riding their bikes are. I drive around the entire metro area daily for my job; uptown, downtown, garden district, mid city, lakeview. People Uptown and in the GD have NO concern for blocking an entire lane of traffic for blocks while they mosey along oblivious to the world. There should be laws for bicyclists too.
How about somebody ask him why the ticket prices have gone up 100% in the past few years? I've gone to Voodoo every year since 2004 and this will be my first year not attending. It now costs almost 90$ for a ONE day. That is ridiculous. This has the be the most expensive music festival in America.
I've never seen a story with no new developments covered so thoroughly by TP. Seems like someone at TP really wants to run Garland through the mud. Even if it is morally questionable to bad mouth a competitor of a friend, he didn't take money from the public.
That's more or less what I thought. I wasn't sure if he actually fired Sonny from the gig or not.
I'm curious about the conversation between Sonny and the guy Antoine sends outside to talk to him. Not really sure what happened there.
roberts on robert e lee and canal, lakeview grocery on harrison, and rouses right past elysian fields. Maybe it's a little more than a half a mile, but definitely within driving distance if not walking or biking distance from that spot.
So this article is supposed to be displaying the lack of grocery stores in some neighborhoods, but they one new store that is mentioned is opening on Robert E Lee and Paris, when there are three grocery stores within half a mile of that location?
Those all sound great! Too bad half of them are playing at the same time!
Totally agree. We absolutely have to move on more than just Mbenga. Smith, and either Willie Green or Belli should be out next year. I like Ariza but he needs to be as consistent in the regular season as he was in the playoffs if he's gonna start next season. Also, don't taunt us with the thought of MT5 coming back, cause it's never going to happen.
A good an honest man? Please. We will never know some of the atrocities Warren, McRae and dozens of other NOPD officers that belong behind bars committed during the aftermath of Katrina, along with the years before and after. The NOPD up until this point has run rampant with thugs, criminals, murderers, and the like. Obviously not every officer is a cold blooded killer like your, "good and honest man," but I'd bet my last dollar that more officers than not have committed unnecessary violent and downright cruel acts against citizens that did not deserve it, black and white alike. This verdict, along with the federal probe that is being conducted, will hopefully clean the slate and wash most of the filth out of the NOPD.
The Mississippi River is a pretty big creek. Isn't it possible that body made it down here from anywhere along the river? I'm sure that there are dozens of bodies that wind up in the river every year that make it out to the Gulf or get buried at the bottom.
Guess the one chance we had of avoiding the CP3 to NYC story for the next twelve months is gone now...
Old Metarie Bistro closed already? Seems like that place just opened. Feel sorry for the owners.
What Stern neglected to say in the interview is that there is a group of people IN NEW ORLEANS willing to buy the team now. The NBA is holding on to the team to use a negotiating pawn during the labor talks.
That's what I want to know. When Mardi Gras happens I will be a week or so away from turning 22. I know I look like I could be underage. While I normally don't have a problem at bars or anything, I'm not going to tolerate being stopped multiple times on the street by people asking to see my ID.
Agreed. This bar is the number one most notorious bar for underage drinking in all of new Orleans. However, that has absolutely nothing to do with this young man being shot.
All of you previous commentators are batsh*t crazy. I'll give you the fact that his intentions were completely misguided, but to subject a man who has defended your freedom for 17 years to what amounts to being fired and getting SIX MONTHS IN JAIL is absolutely nuts. I guarantee not one of you has done time, and neither have I, but being put in jail for not wanting to be shot at is insane.

garlic, minced
jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon

I LOVED this. I doubled the recipe so I could take dinner to a friend as well and it turned out to be a HUGE pot of food enough to feed both of our families dinner twice with more for a lunch as well! Because kids were going to be eating it I skipped the jalepeno and only added half the chili powder. It was not spicy at all, but it was still full of flavor! I did have to add some liquid, and I used a can of chicken broth (or half a can for a single recipe). I will definitely be making this again. EDIT: Now that I have made this a second time I will say that I believe that the flavor is much improved by cooking the quinoa in chicken broth (or vegetable broth if you prefer) instead of water. I think I did this without even thinking about it the first time because I almost always do when cooking grains. This time I didn't bother with it, and the flavor was not as good. I remedied it by dissolving some "Better than Bouillon" in a couple of tablespoons of water and stirring this into the finished chili.
don't hesitate to experiment with tomatillos, various peppers, and white beans.

Wow, so good (we love quinoa), I omitted the zucc (didn't have one) and the meat and added a can of V8 as it was quite dry. Excellent flavour and left overs for lunches! We will make this at least once a month, thanks for the recipe.
I liked this a lot but had to add some water to keep it from getting too thick. Also, with personal taste, I just like things a bit spicier so added some ground red pepper. I served mine over a baked potato with shredded low fat cheese and fat free sour cream and it was great.
This is an amazing chili recipe! I followed the directions exactly except that I cooked the chili in the crock pot. I didn't add the quinoa to crock pot because I was afraid it would dry out into porridge. I cooked it on low for 15 hours and then added the cooked quinoa to the finished chili. The chili was a tiny bit watery from the crock pot, but it thickened up nicely once I added the quinoa. This is a really tasty and healthy recipe. I topped it with a bit of avocado and cheddar cheese.
Quinoa Chili Haiku: "Magical quinoa, elevates chili to 'wow!' A little too thick." This chili is heavenly, and we adored the earthy bite of the quinoa addition. I only wish that I'd added some diced canned chipotles in adobo, per the other recipe on here for "Black bean quinoa chili" b/c I think that would've added a special flavor that this seemed to be missing. Otherwise, I was faithful to the recipe's ingredients, but I put everything (save the cooked quinoa) in the crockpot b4 leaving for work in the a.m., and stirred the quinoa in when I got home. The quinoa balloons up so I only made about 3/4 c., and then it begins to absorb all of what remains of the liquid in the chili (which really, is only that from the canned tomatoes), so I had to add a little water to counter the gummy thickness. With a sprinkle of cheese and a handful of cilantro, this recipe has transformed us into quinoa+chili junkies.
I was doing a cleanse and decided to give this recipe a try (without the ground beef) to add a little variety to my boring cleanse diet. What a pleasant and tasty surprise this dish turned out to be! I never would have thought of using quinoa this way. Thanks for the recipe! It is now a part of our regular rotation :)
We LOVED this recipe. Instead of beef, I used ground turkey (dieting here) and didn't put in any of the jalapeno (kids). I added a little extra cumin instead and left out the chili powder. Kids loved it as it was so colourful & the hubby too. Definitely making this again and again.

Box\ Score
ALBUQUERQUE, NM - The University of New Mexico women's basketball team improved to 2-0 on the season with a close 59-52 victory of The Titans of Cal State Fullerton (0-2). Junior Mandi Moore led the Lobos with 13 points, eight rebounds and dished out six assists. Junior Lindsey Arndt also chipped in 12 points.
Cal State jumped out to a quick 9-2 lead in the first 2:30 minutes of the game, before Lobo freshman Katie Montgomery nailed a 3-pointer to tie it at 11. UNM junior Jenny Shetters put the Lobos on top for good with a under-handed lay up at the 9:10 mark of the first half. Although the Lobos shot a dismal 35.1 percent from the field during the first half, they managed to head into intermission with a 34-27 lead.
The Titans started the second half in the same way they began the game, bringing the Lobos to within three points at the 16:23 mark. Mandi Moore dropped two buckets in a row extending the Lobo lead to 43-34, Fullerton would use timeouts and mini runs to eventually close the gap to six but UNM would hit a couple of shots down the stretch to hold on for the victory.
Cal State sophomore Amber Pruitt collected a double-double in the losing effort, scoring 14 points and grabbing 10 boards.
The Lobos will play host to Youngstown State on Friday night, during the second game of the Holiday Inn Mountain View Invitational. Tip off is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. at The Pit.

If you have liked any of the other Maeve Binchy books that involve her characters like Father Brian, Muttie and his family, etc... this book is an absolute must!
I was hooked from the very first sentence. Maeve Binchy is a consummate storyteller, introducing characters and situations with ease. I won't go into the plot. After all there are already 104 reviews of this book. But I will say that the characters are real and the story is wonderful. Plus Ms. Binchy brings in characters from previous books which is great so that we can see what they're up to now. The only bad thing about this book is that it came to an end. I easily could have just gone on reading about the lives of Noel and his daughter Frankie, his parents and all the other residents of St. Jarlath's Crescent. I especially liked Cousin Emily—the changes she encouraged in people's lives were so much fun to read about and a good lesson about the fine benefits of a positive attitude.
Minding Frankie is the story of little Frankie Lynch whose mother died as she was giving birth. Her mother tells Noel Lynch that he is the father not long before she dies. A drunk who is unhappy in his work, he works hard to pull himself together for Frankie's sake. Helping, and occasionally, hindering him, are Binchy's usual cast of loveable, quirky characters - his parents who are obssessed with building a statue of Saint Jarleth, his long lost American cousin Emily who has just appeared, and those irrepressible twins. Everyone pitches in with advice and babysitting help until a cold and efficient social worker threatens to put Frankie in foster care.Minding Frankie is standard Maeve Binchy fare which is to say magic. As always there is the unusual but thoroughly engaging cast of characters, the lessons in love, and the heartwarming ending. The twins and Muttie provide plenty of humor to lighten things up. Reading this book is like crawling into a warm bed on a cold winter night, bringing comfort and contentment.
When Noel learns that a former flame is terminally ill and pregnant with a child that she claims is his, he agrees to take care of the baby girl once she is born. A recovering alcoholic who is barely keeping his inner demons at bay, Noel is perhaps not the most promising of fathers but despite everything, he could well turn out to be Baby Frankie's best hope.Luckily, Noel has a very close network of friends and family who are ready to help him raise Frankie. There is love-starved Lisa, who becomes his round-the-clock partner in little Frankie's care, his American cousin and pep-talker, Emily, as well as a host of eager babysitters from all around the close-knit Irish community of Jarlath Crescent, Dublin who are ready to step up and offer their services to Noel.The unusual arrangement works out well for everyone concerned until a nosy social worker, Moira arrives. She is convinced that the best thing for Frankie is to be raised in a foster home and she has the power to make that happen. However, she has her own secrets to hide. Now the entire community of Jarlath Crescent must come together and prove to Moira that they each have something to offer in the raising of little Frankie.I really, really enjoyed this book and found it to be extremely heartwarming and a true feel good story. I gave this book an A+! and happily put it away on my bookshelf. I will probably reread it in a couple of years time. I was very surprised to learn from her website that Maeve Binchy passed away on July 30, 2012 after a short illness. As I've probably said before, Maeve Binchy was one of my favorite authors and in my opinion, she will be sorely missed by readers all over the world. God bless you, Maeve. may your soul rest in peace.

[From the Archives: I first published this series of posts back in 2010]
"Why would anyone need to write that much?" I cannot tell you how many times I have heard that question and it is never asked politely either! Over time I have simply learned to answer, "Because what we say about God matters!" The question is however, a reasonable one. Why did Barth write so much and what led to his famous theological change of direction?
Karl Barth's approach to theology and his monumental work was dramatically shaped by four main factors which led to his decision to scrap his original Dogmatics and start again (Bromiley, 1989:134).
- The first was the failure of the theology he had been taught in Germany. Barth became disillusioned with the German theological communities overwhelming support of the country's war efforts.
- Secondly, the failure of German Socialism.
- Thirdly, the most pressing concern that caused Barth to rethink his theology was the specific problem that encountered him Sunday after Sunday – the sermon. It is no wonder that he Church Dogmatics always had one eye on the task of the preacher!
In his book entitled Word of God Word of Man (WGWM) Barth recounts:
"On Sunday morning when the church bells ring to call the congregation and the minister to church, there is in the air an expectancy that something great, crucial and even momentous is to happen." (1928:104)
Barth faced the problems of human life on one hand the context of the bible on the other. He believed he needed to be relevant to the congregation while at the same time remaining faithful to the scriptures. Barth felt his theological training had not prepared him well for the task of the sermon. This leads to the fourth factor that Bromiley suggests led to Barth's change of direction, his friendship with fellow pastor Eduard Thurnysen.
The two men shared the struggles of Ministry and their lack of preparedness for it. They felt what they needed "for preaching, instruction and pastoral care [was] a wholly new theological foundation" (Bromiley, 1989: 132). The two of them decided to reread the New Testament in a completely different way. It was within the context of the local parish, as a local Church pastor, that Barth began his theological journey of discovery. O'Grady notes "He was compelled as a Pastor to undertake a more precise understanding and interpretation of the Bible" (1968:9). Barth did not set out to create a new theology. He set out to become a better Pastor. He wanted to speak to the "infinite contradiction in peoples lives the infinite message of the Bible" (O'Grady, 1968:9). Barth developed his theology to help preachers with what he called "The need and promise of Christian preaching" and in the process his theology became service to his own pastoral ministry within the context of discovering the new world within the Bible (WGWM, 1928:97-135).

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has chosen Elisse Walter, one of five members of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to lead the agency after Chairman Mary Schapiro leaves next month.
Walter, a Democrat, was appointed to the SEC by President George W. Bush in July 2008. Before that, she was a senior official at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the securities industry's self-policing organization. Walter also served under Schapiro at FINRA, who headed the organization before becoming SEC Chairman in January 2009.
Obama said in a statement: "I'm confident that Elisse's years of experience will serve her well in her new position, and I'm grateful she has agreed to help lead the agency."

Agness' Twitter Mailbag: Nov. 22, 2013
Each week, I'll answer a collection of questions sent to me via Twitter, @ScottAgness. Tweet me your question for the chance to have yours included.
@LukeAtMeNow__: What place do you have Paul George in the MVP race today?
At this moment, I have him third behind LeBron James (Heat) and Kevin Durant (Thunder). All three are the top player on a title contender. Although James' numbers aren't career highs (25.6 points, 6.8 assists, and 5.5 rebounds per game while shooting 60 percent from the floor) like George's, he's still the best in the league. He's also an excellent defender. Durant, too, is having another stellar year. Keep in mind that the big name players tend to get more votes, especially these two who are usually showcased on national television at least once per week. George, just 23, is playing the best basketball of his career. He's posting personal bests, he's scored at least 20 points in 10 of the first 11 games, and his upgraded play is the primary reason the Pacers have the best record int he league. For him to even be in the conversation speaks volumes to the work that he's put in, and how the Pacers are succeeding. The MVP is often the best player on the team that finishes with the best record.
@Jonathankav1: When is Granger back? How many minutes do you see him playing?
That's the million dollar question. It's one everyone wants answered, including Granger himself. It's not the knee, Granger and the team continue to stress. His left calf was first strained more than a month ago and they've taken it slow, being very patient in hopes that it won't become a nagging injury throughout the season. They want him back, and back for good, but their superb start has afforded them the ability to be extra conservative. He wants to be out there and be part of the team. Whenever he goes through a few practices pain free, then Frank Vogel may insert him into a game. Only then — and for roughly 15 minutes to start. Though he's out, the veteran is still traveling with the team.
@scottneukam: What effect will Granger's return have on the roster? Solomon Hill sent to D-League and/or Butler released?
This is tough to determine until Granger actually returns, makes it through a game and the soreness that'll likely occur afterwards. Vogel told me it's unlikely that they utilize the D-League for Solomon Hill this year because he's shown that he can contribute and he'll learn more by being around the team. Butler's a tremendous locker room guy. They may keep his contract for the veteran's minimum unless than plan to make moves at the trade deadline. The key date for Butler is Jan. 10, when all contracts become guaranteed for the year.
@willrettig: Does Granger get dealt before trade deadline?
I still say no. Right now, his only value to another team is that his contract expires after the season. A team may want him if he's back playing, and playing well, but so would the Pacers. I'm never surprised with moves in the NBA, especially closer to the deadline, but I don't see it happening.
@qandrews9428: Vogel switched up rotations at NY, is he going to stick with Cope and Orlando as the 2 and 3 off the bench for the time being?
I'm not traveling with the team so I don't know his take on it, but I think it was primarily done to match up with New York's small ball style. He typically plays Paul George the entire first quarter, but he replaced him with Copeland a few minutes before the quarter came to a close. Part of that was because George was out of rhythm and struggling. Solomon Hill's role will shuffle, depending on the opponent and Vogel is still trying to find ways to use Copeland, who is a liability on defense — particularly at the '4′ spot.
@D_callyay: What grade do you give the bench this season so far?
B. C.J. Watson has been steady, already filling in nicely for Hill in the starting lineup for three games — all wins. Luis Scola looks better in the system with each game. Vogel even played David West and Scola together, like we witnessed often in training camp, in their overtime win against New York on Wednesday. Coming from a totally different offensive style, Copeland is still trying to grasp the system while also trying to find holes he can fill with this team. Orlando Johnson has contributed in the 14 minutes he receives each game and rookie Solomon Hill seems like the perfect fit for this team. He's mature, a quick learner, a solid defender and a team first guy.
@SlikSmits: Nearly impossible question to answer. But personal opinion. What's Lance's contract gonna look like?
Yes, difficult to say at this point. I predicted in my last mailbag that he would be offered anywhere from $5-8 million from the Pacers. I'll stick to that.

Blog Buzz: New Islamic TV Expands Across Mideast
By Garrett Nada
Islamic television is increasingly popular and prevalent across the Middle East one year after Islamists began winning democratic elections. Even secular satellite channels are now broadcasting more religious content—and in better prime time slots. The satellite sheikhs vary widely, however. Indeed, the battle over defining Islam in a new political era is now being waged on television screens.
In 1998, Iqraa became the first Islamic channel. It is owned by a Saudi businessman but based in Egypt. About two dozen major channels now broadcast only religious content. But many of the more than 600 Arab satellite stations are carrying Islamic programs. Islamic stations have gradually carved out a niche for a whole new media category.
Religious programs have disparate missions. Sheikh Tarek Swidan, a Kuwaiti station manager, hopes to fight terrorist ideology through Islamic reeducation. Some channels try to adapt religious practices to modernity. In Egypt, 4Shbab, or "For Youth," seeks to generate dialogue among Muslims. It targets young viewers with Islam-themed music videos.
Others channels spread traditional Islamic values. Salafi and Wahabbi stations—many launched and supported by Saudi interests—focus on religious education rather than entertainment. Their programming emphasizes strict adherence to Islamic law and improving one's life through Islamic learning.
An Egyptian Salafi channel, Al Nas, played an important role in spreading awareness of the inflammatory film, "The Innocence of Muslims." The amateur YouTube clip was relatively unknown before television host Sheikh Khalid Abdullah aired a version dubbed in Arabic on Sept. 9. News about the film's offensive content then spread via Facebook and Twitter. Anti-U.S. demonstrations, including attacks on several embassies, broke out across the region starting on Sept. 11.
Many stations are expanding religious programming to cater to the increasingly conservative Arab public. Facebook and Twitter have helped stations interact with viewers and generate larger audiences. Stations have even started earning revenue by selling theme songs as ringtones and other content for mobile phones. Most channels have a scrolling bar on screen that displays viewers' live text-messages to the television host. Fans of influential sheikhs can also log onto station websites and pose personal questions.
In 2012, funding grew for religious stations, and their programs became more polished. Yet they faced tougher competition. Popular mainstream stations, like the multiple channels owned by the Middle East Broadcasting Center (MBC), offer sophisticated shows with elaborate sets, attractive casts and high budgets. Some of the most popular shows are local adaptations of Western favorites, such as "Arab Idol" and "Arabs Got Talent." American movies like "Harry Potter" and dramas like "Grey's Anatomy" are broadcast with subtitles or dubbed in Arabic.
But even stations like MBC have increasingly catered to a wider demographic of viewers interested in Islam. During Ramadan 2012, it broadcast the most expensive drama ever produced in the Arab world. The $50 million series, "Omar," was based on the life of the second caliph, or leader, after Islam was founded. Some conservative Muslims objected to the portrayal of the companions of the Prophet Mohamed, while others hoped the series would promote Islam.
Mainstream stations feature popular and younger televangelist preachers such as Ahmed Al Shugairi and Moez Masoud all year long. These charismatic satellite sheikhs are attracting viewers of all ages. The following seven satellite channels illustrate the diversity of religious programming.
Marya TV: Traditional Islamist and Salafi content
Marya TV is the first Egyptian satellite channel to only broadcast women wearing the niqab, the black face veil. It was launched on the first day of Ramadan in July 2012. Marya TV, named after one of the Prophet Mohamed's wives, broadcasts for six hours a day on Ummah TV, an Islamic station launched in 2006. Salafi Sheikh Ahmed Abdallah, known as Abu Islam, created both stations.
Women who wear the niqab have occasionally hosted shows on conservative stations like Awtan TV since at least 2008. But Marya TV also involves women in all aspects of the station's operations, from writing to working the cameras. Abeer Shahin, the primary anchor, told AFP, "The main goal of the channel is to show society that there are women in niqab who are active, who can have a role in society and be successful and be doctors, engineers or successful media personalities."
Marya TV bills itself as a women's interest channel rather than a religious station. "We have children's programs, sewing programs, shows on relationships, comedy, politics," Shahin told AFP. And on her show "First Year of Marriage," she advised viewers, "Even if you have the whole house lit with candles, do not be upset when your husband comes home from a long day of work and does not notice."
Other shows range from Islamic theology to everyday practices. Marya TV's YouTube channel features a montage of photographs of women wearing niqab set to the song "This is My Hijab" by the popular Islamic singer Ahmed Bukhatir.
Some programs do not explicitly focus on Islam, but Salafi ideology is a constant subtheme. And presenters maintain an instructional tone. Sheikh Abu Islam told the Associated Press, "I want to give children the ability to see these women and say 'I want to be like that'…to create a generation that wants this."
BBC Arabic aired a report and debate about the station, which Marya TV rebroadcast but obscured all of the women not wearing hijab or niqab behind semi-opaque black screens to obscure their faces and bodies.

Iqraa: Traditional Islamist content
Iqraa was launched by Saudi Arabian billionaire Sheikh Salah Kamal in 1998. It was the first channel to broadcast exclusively Islamic content and had a virtual monopoly over religious programming until the launch of a second station, Al Resalah, in 2003. Iqraa is Arabic for "recite," referring to the Koran, but it is not a Salafi channel. It claims to advocate a "centrist Islam" and a message of "tolerance." Female hosts wear hijab headscarf and stylish clothing rather than the black niqab seen on Salafi stations.
Some of Iqraa's most popular shows are hosted by preachers and focus on various aspects of Islamic theology, ethics or self-improvement. Viewers can pose questions to hosts using Facebook or Twitter. Other shows focus on health, cooking, travel and history.

Al Resalah: Neo-Islamist content
Al Resalah, "The Message," was launched in 2006 by Saudi Prince Walid Bin Talal, owner of the successful Rotana media empire of television and radio. The prince intended the channel to represent a moderate and modern version of Islam.
During the first year of broadcasting, General Manager Sheikh Tarek Swidan told The Christian Science Monitor that he is "directing the channel to be in clash… with terrorist ideas." Swidan is a popular Kuwaiti motivational speaker who spent 17 years in the United States.
Al Resalah emphasizes entertainment more than education, which distinguishes it from most Islamic stations. Al Resalah's reality shows, comedies, talk shows, music videos, cartoons, and game shows feature content acceptable to observant Muslim audiences. Some of the region's most influential sheikhs and preachers host shows as well.
"Many people have a shortsighted idea that to be Islamic somebody has to sit and talk about Islam and dress and talk in a certain way and have a certain décor behind them. To me, this is not how I understand it," General Manager Tarek Swidan said in a 2006 interview with Transnational Broadcasting Studies.
Al Resalah's anchors include females who wear conservative, modern and colorful clothing, including hijab but not niqab. But women who are not veiled also appear on air, and the crews are coed. Music is prominently showcased, a red line for more conservative Salafis. At a 2009 press conference, Swidan explained that he hoped to gain Saudi viewers by targeting "people who do not mind music… rather than focusing on the two million who do not approve of the music."

4Shbab: Neo-Islamist content
4Shbab, "For Youth", was launched in 2009 under media entrepreneur Ahmad Abu Haiba. The former managing director envisioned the Islamic art channel as Islam's answer to MTV. The station's motto is "the new tune of Islam." At the launch ceremony in Cairo, Abu Haiba said 4Shbab is "promoting dialogue and seeking to remove negative stereotypes of Islam and the Arabs."
4Shbab is trying to attract Arab youth, which it defines as individuals from age 15 to 40, away from mainstream Arab channels that frequently present dancing women in revealing clothing. It gained initial popularity through "Your Voice is Heard," a singing competition for aspiring male religious singers. 4Shabab's program lineup also includes cooking, travel, self-improvement and spiritual shows.
4Shbab is best known for its Islam-themed music videos. It showcases male artists from across the Islamic world. It also has non-Arab stars, including Zain Bkhikha from South Africa, Sami Yusuf from Britain, and the U.S. hip-hop group Native Deen.
4Shbab initially intended on gradually introducing women wearing hijab into its programming. But the station remains male-only due to pressure from Egyptian conservatives and Saudi financiers. Ali al Omarey, the Saudi chairman of 4Shbab, is a prominent religious scholar and host of a popular program.

Ummah TV: Classical Islamist and Salafi content
Egyptian Sheikh Ahmed Abdallah launched Ummah TV in 2006 with the help of donations. "Ummah" is the worldwide Muslim community. The station was forced to close in 2008 due to financial problems and multiple raids by state security forces, the Associated Press reported. Abdallah was also detained more than four times by President Hosni Mubarak's regime.
After Mubarak's ouster, Abdallah relaunched the station in 2011 as Islamists gained political popularity. Military police raided the station again and confiscated cameras in early 2012, but the low-budget channel still operates out of an old apartment near Cairo's Abbasiya Square.
Ummah TV's programming is primarily focused on religious topics. Most of the hosts are Salafi sheikhs, and most women wear niqab on air.
The station usually does not cover politics, but devoted significant time to the 2012 presidential elections. It officially supported Salafi candidate Hazem Salah Abu Ismail and broadcast his lengthy speeches unedited. Ummah TV anchors also criticized rival presidential candidate Ahmed Shafiq, a former senior air force commander and Mubarak's last prime minister. The station added gunfire sounds to broadcasts of his speeches.

Al Nas: Classical Islamist and Salafi content
Launched in 2006, Al Nas means "The People." It is also the Koran's 114th chapter. Owned by Saudi Arabian businessman Mansour Ben Kedsa, it is now one of the most popular Islamic channels in Arabic. Its slogan is "the station that takes you to heaven." Initially the station broadcasted music, dancing and other mainstream entertainment but it attracted few viewers. Ben Kedsa then decided add more religious content. He invited Salafi sheikhs to host shows and the station become more conservative.
One of the station's objectives is to "promote the spread of cultural awareness and knowledge among the children of our ummah (Islamic nation) and keep up with modern technology." The station has turned a profit through commercials and by selling Islamic ringtones and other downloads to viewers via text message.
The station's goal is to build a strong Muslim family and instill Islamic ideals in society by targeting "the mind, heart and body," according to its website. Its most popular shows are hosted by Salafi preachers. But the channel also attracts a wider audience through shows focused on cooking, technology, politics, news and other topics.

Al Rahma: Classical Islamist and Salafi content
Egyptian Sheikh Mohamed Hasan Al Rahma launched Al Rahma, or "The Mercy," in 2007. He had previously appeared on rival Salafi channel Al Nas. Al Rahma is owned by clerics rather than businessmen. As a result, the station is less commercialized than other religious channels.
Al Rahma's 60-plus hosts are all male scholars or preachers. Many hold doctoral degrees in Islamic sciences. Al Rahma viewers frequently pose questions to talk-show hosts via the Internet or text messages. The lineup varies little, and the station does not broadcast all 24 hours.
The fatwas of Al Rahma's most popular sheikhs are widely respected. In early 2012, Sheikh Mohamed Hasan and Sheikh Mohamed Abdel Maqsoud issued a joint fatwa that families of victims killed by security forces during Egypt's uprising could accept blood-money compensation in exchange for forgiving the killers. They even specified that 500,000 Egyptian pounds or $82,000 was an acceptable payment.

Having a business is something that most people want. Indeed, it's a considerable advantage if you have your own business rather than being a typical employee. However, putting up your business also calls for in depth study as you would want an assurance of success.
Today, franchise business is one of the most common businesses that many people engage in. Because it doesn't call for an extremely large capital, there's no sweat in obtaining one. All you have to do is learn how to choose the right franchise business for you.
Study its demand
Before settling on a franchise business, you should first check on the demand of the product you're planning to sell. If there's none or only little demand of it, then most probably you'll have difficulty in making it grow. You should also consider the competition.
If you live in a place where many own franchise businesses quite similar to what you're planning to have, it may be wise to find another product offer.
Check your cash flow
When putting up a business, you should keep in mind that spending all your cash for it is not advisable. Never let your bank account go empty because if your business doesn't grow, you would be left with nothing. You should also consider all the other payments entailed by having a business such as licenses, taxes and employment benefits.
Determine your level of understanding
Having enough cash to put up a business is never enough. Although franchise business is just a small type, still you should ensure that you have enough understanding about how to run it. Every business has its own set of rules and to acquire enough knowledge about it will surely take you a long way. This is the main key towards a successful business.
Consider the brand name
Because the competition is always out there, considering the brand name is a must. People tend to buy products from well-known brand names thus; you should go for franchises who have already established a good name.
Although there's also a chance that these franchises would charge a higher cost, it's worth more than taking risks with unfamiliar names.
Review the FDD
Next would be to review the Franchise Disclosure Document or FDD. This is a document provided by the franchiser which contains their history, marketing and training programs as well as the costs you have to pay them.
Some franchisers also include earning claims. This document will guide you through the entire process and will give you a brief idea of what you can expect from the franchiser.
Chat with other franchises
The last step would be to ask advice from other franchises. This would be a positive step to ensure that you're choosing the right franchise business. Learning from their advice and tips will surely go a long way.
Knowing the do's and dont's in every business is a must, but more to that you should also determine first if this is the right business for you. Unless you want your money and effort to go to waste, applying these franchise business tips is highly recommended.

Tribal land settlement in 'must pass' legislation
FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 2003 For the second time in recent months, the Senate has approved settlement of a New Mexico tribe's long-simmering land claim. Attached to the $309 billion omnibus appropriations act that cleared the chamber last night was legislation to end Sandia Pueblo's claim to 10,000 acres within the Sandia Mountains. The amendment, backed by Sens. Pete Domenici (R-N.M.) and Jeff Bingaman (D-N.M.), passed on a voice vote. That was the easy part. Now, the lawmakers said, it is up to the House to give its nod to the deal, brokered by the tribe, a private company, two federal agencies, two New Mexico counties, and a few hundred landowners. "It has taken a lot of cooperative effort to reach this point," said Domenici, who will sit on a committee to work out the Senate and House versions of the spending bill. "We've crossed one major hurdle, and only one remains," added Bingaman, former chairman of one of the committees that shepherded the package through the last congressional session. He called the appropriations act a "must-pass" item. As recently as last spring, the settlement was opposed by Domenici and some of the county and landowner representatives. Domenici, who created a federally protected wilderness area that the tribe said was wrongly excluded from its reservation, changed course when the other parties said they stood behind the agreement. The bill preserves the 10,000 acres as the T'uf Shur Bien Preservation Trust Area. The name means Green Reed Mountain in the Tiwa language, spoken at Sandia Pueblo. Title to the preserve will remain with the United States and despite its name, it will not be held in trust for the tribe. But the bill directs the Department of Interior to hold in trust a 160-acre tract, located outside of the area, that the Pueblo recently purchased. Other fee land the tribe owns will also be held in trust. The tribe has significant rights to the land even without trust status. The bill grants criminal and civil jurisdiction over tribal members and American Indians. Tribal members and some from other tribes use the area for religious purposes and hunting and gathering. The tribe also has veto authority over any proposed development. Since landowners and conservation groups support preservation, this isn't expected to be a controversial provision. When Congress finally ratifies the bill and it is signed by the President, the tribe's lawsuit over the land will officially be over. A federal judge in Washington, D.C., directed the Interior to resurvey the land, a move that was all but guaranteed to include the missing 10,000 acres. Rep. Heather Wilson (R-N.M.) introduced the House version, identical to the Senate one, of the settlement earlier this month. Get the Bill:

Selected viruses, spyware, and other threats: sorted alphabetically
W97M/Hope.A is a macro virus operating in the Microsoft Word 97 environments. The virus uses the "class" method of infection – it attacks the module "ThisDocument" which is present as a standard in each Word document or template. It attacks the global template normal.dot and documents.
After opening an infected document the virus W97M/Hope.A disables the Word anti-virus protection, prohibits displaying warnings on writing into a template and on conversion of macros. It deletes items Tools/Macro and Tools/Options… in the Word menu and by doing so makes them inaccessible. Then it attacks the active document and the global template.
The virus attacks documents when they are opened and closed. After each line of the virus code a text line with a note is inserted. After omitting the virus code the notes create the following text:
'withered rope you hang what's empty can't remain to put it simply
'in time cry the hollow words to sing with false disguise smothered
'hope fly from sorrow for a new divine tomorrow i just don't want
'to know anymore life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong
'why don't you care? now do it seem fair? it's not in the rhyme or
'reason so it goes with every season crawl to top fall through
'bottom first hand love is really rotten slice of life find what's
'plenty inch towards a sanctuary light with me inside the womb i
'know everyone everybody knows it's me it's my voice, my voice
'cries out obscenity sightless eye regard my past sometimes it
'should i just don't want to know anymore.

This works well. Problem for me is that it took 7 a day to keep a condition in check for me. Far too expensive when you add it up. Symbiotics Colostrum achieves a similar result for me for a price that I can afford better. That said, as far as probiotics go, this is the best I've ever tried. I've tried Dr. Ohira's professional probiotics before, so I mean it when I say it, this the best probiotic I've ever tried.

Several rounds of antibiotics left my husband with intestinal candida, he tried many products before finding this one. It is the only thing that has helped! Now he will not be without it. Also, our daughter has found this to be a better product than prescription medicines for her IBS. Thank you, Jordan!

This is a powerful, important product. My family has seen important health improvements since taking Primal Defense. Consider starting slowly - perhaps one capsule every other day until your body adjusts.

Re: Have I sold out?
You have a decent job most likely with some form of benefits which allows you to pursue drumming on your terms. You win!
I was in the same boat back in the 1980's when I viewed playing as an "all or none" kind of thing. Took me a long while to get through / over that and have long since moved on to a career so far outside of music it's not funny.
I love what I do and make good money at it. Able to support a home and family not to mention my drumming passion.
Lastly, having a non-musical career allows me to be the decider on what I do and do not want to play. The notion of playing music I can't stand listening to or playing just to earn a buck makes me want to sell everything I have and never play again.

The WebBrowser control notifies its host of an unhandled script error through the IOleCommandTarget interface. The host can then retrieve the information about the error, display (or suppress) an error message to the user, and choose whether to run scripts on the page.
More information
When one of the script engines encounters an unhandled error, it forwards the error to the WebBrowser control, which then queries its container to see if the container has implemented IOleCommandTarget. If the container has implemented IOleCommandTarget, the WebBrowser control calls the IOleCommandTarget::Exec method with the command group ID of CGID_DocHostCommandHandler (which is defined in the Mshtmhst.h file) and a command ID of OLECMDID_SHOWSCRIPTERROR. If the host does not return S_OK, MSHTML displays the default "An error has occurred on this page" error message.
The following code illustrates how to implement a handler for this command ID that retrieves the error information from the document object model. This code does not illustrate error handling.
NOTE: This method will not be invoked if the user has cleared the Disable Script Debugging check box in the Advanced tab under Internet Options.

Original recipe yields 6 servings
Based on a 2,000 calorie diet
Ready In
This was a BIG hit at my Thanksgiving dinner! I used diced tomatoes instead of sliced, and it was still wonderful! It was the first appetizer to disappear & even my 16 month old liked it!!
This is a great recipe. I used just the mozzerela and dried herbs and it still came out really well. Very easy and delicious!
I loved it. We made it to accompany a ravioli dish and we ended up eating more of the bread than the main meal. We did change it a little by using just moss cheese and sub black pepper and swe...

Happy Birthday, Cat
Ronnie celebrated her ninth birthday last week and, yes, I made her a present. And got her some cat treats. And even made her wear an Oh Joy! for Target mini party hat.
Hi. My name is Lish. And I'm a cat lady.
Jokes aside, it was great being able to celebrate another birthday for Ronnie after her heart disease diagnosis this year. She loves sleeping on a mini quilt I made on one of our chairs, so I made her a larger chair with some of my favorite Birch Fabrics' Circa 50 scraps I'd had in my stash for the past few years.
…as you can see, the quilt was a hit. Happy birthday, Ronnie.

Hearing Monday over assault charge in Armin Jahr school shooting
TACOMA - The Washington State Court of Appeals will hear arguments Monday morning over whether Kitsap County prosecutors can proceed with an assault charge against the owner of the gun that critically injured 9-year-old Amina Kocer-Bowman at Armin Jahr Elementary School in February.
County prosecutors are operating under the theory that Douglas Bauer, of North Mason, caused the assault on Kocer-Bowman by leaving a loaded .45-caliber pistol in his house that his girlfriend's son took to school. The gun went off in the boy's backpack and the bullet struck the girl.
But Bauer's attorney, Wayne Fricke, has contended that Bauer would have needed to do "some affirmative act of assistance, interaction, influence or communication" that results in the assault. He has said that there's no evidence Bauer "caused" harm to the girl.
State law says someone guilty of third-degree assault uses criminal negligence and "causes bodily harm to another person by means of a weapon or other instrument or thing likely to produce bodily harm."
The court of appeals will consider the arguments and render a ruling as to whether prosecutors can proceed on the assault charge in Kitsap County Superior Court.
The boy said he took Bauer's gun to school because he felt threatened by classmates. He pleaded guilty to reckless endangerment and was sentenced to counseling. He also had to write an apology letter to Amina.
Jamie Chaffin, the boy's mother, has pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm. As a felon, she was not allowed to be around guns in Bauer's house, where she was living. She faces 12 to 16 months in prison and must testify against Bauer if his case goes to trial.

I am not a Disney princess
Every little girl dreams of becoming a princess. Recently, I tried to make it come true
By Ej Dickson
The author daintily nibbles on a turkey leg
When I was little, I had three dreams: to become the first female shortstop in Major League Baseball, to marry former Yankees first baseman Tino Martinez and to play a princess at Walt Disney World. My lack of hand-eye coordination and Martinezs wife and children put the first two ambitions out of reach, but the third stayed with me.

Though the NFL wasn't ready for him, Kopay was an early revolutionary in the fight for equality in professional sports. He went on to become a board member of the Gay and Lesbian Athletics Foundation, and an ambassador of the Federation of Gay Games. In 1986, he revealed a relationship with a former Washington Redskins player who died — still closeted — of AIDS that year, sending a message to other gay athletes that they weren't alone.
"That was groundbreaking," says Jose Guillermo De Los Reyes-Heredia, professor of sexuality studies for the University of Houston, of Kopay's coming out. "I think he did it because, at that moment, there were a lot of gay and lesbian movements going on in New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco."
Despite Kopay's bravery, football remained an unwelcome environment for gay people. The next retired player didn't come out until 1992 — 17 years later. Being gay was still the greatest taboo in football, and even the whiff of a rumor could be career-ending, says Tuaolo.
During his nine years with five NFL teams, Tuaolo had to completely dissociate himself with his sexuality. He regularly witnessed fistfights in the locker room over players calling each other gay, and coaches sometimes joined in the hazing. It was enough to make him contemplate suicide.
"It was part of my life," he says. "That was my career. Everyone makes sacrifices in their life. For me, I had to sacrifice part of my humanity."
By the mid-2000s, the topic of homosexuality in major leagues sports became impossible to ignore. In the span of a single week in 2007, retired NBA player John Amaechi came out as gay, and former Miami Heat guard Tim Hardaway came out as homophobic, bluntly saying in a radio interview that he wouldn't want Amaechi on his team.
"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known," Hardaway said. "I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."
Despite Hardaway's comments and several death threats, Amaechi later announced that he had "underestimated America," and had been overwhelmingly welcomed with acceptance. For fans, hearing the controversial debate played out so publicly in a single week was unprecedented, says Cyd Ziegler, co-founder of Outsports.com, a gay-friendly sports website.
"Professional sports took a jump in our culture then," Ziegler says. "They saw both sides in that one week...I think ever since that moment, the progress of gay equality in sports has sped up a lot."
Today it's generally agreed that sports culture is more accepting of homosexuality, and the evidence is in the headlines. Last year, Phoenix Suns President Rick Welts came out, and former Dallas Cowboys receiver Michael Irvin appeared on the cover of Out Magazine, opening up in an interview about his gay brother. Former Pittsburgh Pirates owner Kevin McClatchy also came out as gay this year, as did retired Seattle Seahawk Wade Davis — the fourth NFL player to come out after retirement. And teams across the professional sports gamut are releasing "It Gets Better" videos with anti-gay-bullying messages, inspired by alt-weekly sex columnist Dan Savage.
"I think the last year has seen a tipping point for a variety of reasons," says Woog. "Everybody was sort of waiting for an athlete to come out in one of the major sports, and what happened instead was a lot of activity on the straight ally front."
But the major leagues are not yet rid of homophobia. Most recently, Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Yunel Escobar was suspended for etching what translates to "You are a faggot" in the black paint under his eye during a game.
The fact that Escobar was only suspended for three days is evidence that the league isn't fully committed to eradicating the problem, argues Dave Pallone, a gay former baseball umpire and author of Behind the Mask: My Double Life in Baseball.
"The Toronto Blue Jays should have said, 'Go home. Take the last two weeks off,'" says Pallone. "What he did was beyond the scope of ridiculous and beyond the scope of hurtful."
Even with the emergence of allies like Kluwe, the final test has yet to come, says Pallone.
"There's only one thing that will knock down that wall entirely, and that will be for a male athlete in one of the major sports to come out while he's still playing."
One month before the amendment vote, Kluwe is getting ready to wait tables at Manny's Steakhouse. It's a Monday night, and Kluwe has agreed to work at a celebrity charity dinner organized by Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway. An hour before the event begins, Kluwe is in a hidden VIP room with black velvet curtains and a flat-screen TV, perusing his Twitter feed on his phone.
"Just checking the jabber," he says.
In these final weeks before the election, Kluwe will be a blunt instrument in the "Vote No" campaign. Minnesotans for Equality has transformed the highlights of his now-famous letter into T-shirts that read: "I am a Lustful Cockmonster" and "I am a Unique Sparkle Pony." Half of the proceeds will go to the campaign, the other half to Kluwe's charity. The group is also trying to arrange a debate between Kluwe and any willing Republican. So far, no one has volunteered.

Tampa, Florida -- News of the arrest of a 6th grade geography teacher spread fast among the student body of Farnell Middle School.
Eighth grader Kathleen Newell says she found out on Facebook.
"It's a surprise," she said.
Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies arrested 39-year-old Tammy Clinton at the school on Thursday, accusing her of not only forcing a 14-year-old student to touch her breasts and fondling his buttocks, but twice enticing him to leave the campus with her so they could commit a sexual act. The most recent attempt was the day of the arrest, deputies said. She bonded out of jail early Friday morning.
"They didn't believe it because they said she was really friendly, that she was their favorite teacher," Kathleen Newell said of her friends' reaction to the arrest.
Her mom, Luisa Newell, chimed in, "That's the thing, sometimes teachers can be so friendly. You just don't know how far they can go."
The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says Clinton admitted to the accusations after her arrest.
While Newell said she was disturbed by the news, she still considers Farnell a good school and credited the principal for quickly informing parents via a telephone message.
"It can happen anywhere," said Newell.
We tried to get Tammy Clinton's side of the story, but she would not let us in her gated Odessa community to talk.
Clinton has been placed on paid suspension. The school district says it will take a vote by the school board to put her on unpaid suspension while the case is investigated.
Other than the most recent accusations, Clinton had a clean history with the district.
According to school district records, Tammy Clinton not only received ethics and conduct training once during her eight years with with the school, but twice.
Charles Fleming, the head of the department that trains the district's teachers, says Clinton was trained in 2004 and again in 2008 when the district beefed up the training in response to the Debra LaFave case.
"When we started having issues a few years ago in the community, we added a refresher course, if you want to use it that way. We called it an update where we talked more specifically about student-teacher relationships, about how inappropriate that is and to the higher standard that all educators are held to," Fleming told 10 Connects.
Teachers are given a handbook with a list of common sense guidelines.
Right at the top, you'll find, "Maintain a professional barrier between you and the students. You are the adult, the teacher and the professional."
"Do not flirt with students."
"Keep your hands and other body parts to yourself."
Laura Kadechka, 10 Connects
