The 24-year-old looks almost certain to leave London Road this summer after rejecting the offer of a new three-year contract with the League One club.
Leeds boss Brian McDermott has expressed an interest in the midfielder but Fry insists the Championship side to not have sufficient funds.
He told the Peterborough Telegraph: "I've had Brian McDermott (Leeds manager) on the phone about Tommy and I've also spoken to their chairman Ken Bates and their chief executive Shaun Harvey, but Leeds just don't have enough money.
"We're sorry to be losing Tommy, but he's made it clear to us that we could offer him £20,000 per week and he still wouldn't sign a new deal.
"That's not to say he won't be here next season because we won't give him away. And if Tommy is here we know we will continue to get 100 per cent from him as he's a terrific lad."

Jon Kabat Zin suggests 7 attitudes to bring to mindfulness practice in his book Full Catastrophe Living, and mindfulness is equally important to a yoga practice and so I have borrowed them for our next yoga series. As Jon Kabat Zin lays them out, they are: non-judging, patience, beginner's mind, trust, non-striving, acceptance and letting-go. As he explains, they are not independent of each other but weave into each other and depend on each other. Throughout this series we will explore how these concepts relate to yoga philosophy, your yoga practice, and your life off the mat.
The first concept that we will explore in today's class relates to the yogic concept of ahimsa or nonviolence and is called non-judging. One of the first steps of mindfulness is cultivating an awareness of our moment to moment experience. Once we do this we might be somewhat surprised that we are caught in a stream of judging, criticizing and evaluating about our internal and external experiences. Mindfulness practice asks you to be aware of the incessant judging and reacting to your experiences and to step back from it. Normally you react and place value on experiences as good or bad whereas mindfulness asks you to step back as an impartial witness in a non-judging way.
In yoga, all that judging that goes on in your mind would be viewed as a form of violence that we inflict on yourself,, your circumstances and others all day long. These sorts of judgments, criticisms, and destructive comments playback in a negative feedback loop and are unhelpful. Ahimsa or nonviolence would espouse the practice of non-judgement in your thoughts words and actions as a form of self-acceptance and then to expand that practice outwards towards others.
Your yoga practice offers the perfect place to practice non-judging. You can practice non-judging in your moment to moment experience of your body in your asana (yoga posture) practice. In today's practice we will practice a pose called gomukasana (cow's face pose) which will give us the perfect opportunity to explore non-judging as you may be tempting to compare one side to the other. Also many people experience tight hips and tight shoulders and this class will give you the opportunity to let go of judgment about tightness in either of these areas of your body.

tawassul part 3
- Bukhari and Tirmidhi narrate from Qatada: "I asked Anas to describe the sandals of Allah's Messenger and he replied: Each sandal had two straps"; and from `Isa ibn Tahman: "Anas took out a pair of shoes and showed them to us. They did not have hair on them." (The remark refers to the Arabian practice of not removing the hair from the leather from which shoes were made.) Bukhari, Malik, and Abu Dawud relate that `Ubayd ibn Jarih said to `Abd Allah ibn `Umar: "I saw you wear tanned sandals." He replied: "I saw the Prophet wearing sandals with no hair on them and perform ablution in them, and so I like to wear them."
- al-Qastallani in his Mawahib al-laduniyya said that Ibn Mas`ud was one of the Prophet's servants and that he used to bring for the Prophet his cushion (wisada), his tooth-stick (siwak), his two sandals (na`layn), and the water for his ablution. When the Prophet rose he would put his sandals on him; when he sat he would carry his sandals in his arms until he rose.
Qastallani mentions the following from one of the greatest Tabi`in:
Abu Ishaq (al-Zuhri) said: al-Qasim ibn Muhammad (ibn Abu Bakr al-Siddiq) said: Of the proven blessing of the likeness of the Prophet's sandal is that whoever has it in his possession for tabarruk, it will safeguard him from the sedition of rebels and the mastery of enemies, and will be a barrier against every recreant devil and the evil eye of the envious. If the pregnant woman holds it in her right hand at the time of labor, her delivery will be easier by Allah's change and His might.
al-Qastallani also said that Abu al-Yaman ibn `Asakir wrote a volume on the image of the Prophet's sandal, and so did Ibn aHajj al-Andalusi. He relates the account of a pious shaykh by the name of Abu Ja`far Ahmad ibn `Abd al-Majid:
I cut the pattern of this sandal for one of my students. He came to me one day and said: "I saw a wonder yesterday from the blessing of this sandal. My wife was suffered from a pain which almost took her life. I placed the sandal on the spot of her pain and said: O Allah, show me the blessing of the owner of this sandal. Allah cured her on the spot."
al-Munawi and al-Qari mentioned in their commentary on Tirmidhi's al-Shama'il that Ibn al-`Arabi said that the sandals are part of the attire of prophets, and the people only left them due to the mud in their lands. He also mentioned that one of the names of the Prophet in the ancient books is sahib al-na`layn or "The wearer of the two sandals."
Shaykh Yusuf al-Nabahani recited about the Prophet's sandals:
wa na`lun khada`na haybatan li waqariha
fa inna mata nakhda`u li haybatiha na`lu
fa da`ha `ala a`la al-mafariqi innaha
haqiqataha tajun wa surataha na`lu
A sandal to whose majestic nobility we submit
For by submitting to its majesty do we rise:
Therefore place it in the highest spot for it is
In reality a crown, though its image is a sandal.
And when Imam al-Fakhani first saw the Prophet's sandals he recited:
wa law qila li al-majnuni layla wa wasluha
turidu am al-dunya wa ma fi zawayaha
laqala ghubarun min turabi ni`aliha
ahabbu ila nafsi wa ashfa li balawaha
And if Layla's Madman were asked: do you prefer
Union with Layla, or the world and its treasures?
He would answer: "Dust from the earth of her sandals
Is dearer to my soul, and its most soothing remedy."
Shihab al-Din Ahmad al-Muqri wrote a book on this which he named Fath al-muta`al fi madh al-ni`al (The opening of the Most High in the praise of the Prophet's sandals).
Ashraf `Ali al-Tahanawi the Deobandi shaykh wrote a treatise entitled Nayl al-shifa' bi na`l al-mustafa (The attainment of cure through the sandals of the Elect One) found in his book Zad al-sa`id (Provision for the fortunate).
The muhaddith of India Muhammad Zakariyya Kandhalwi said in his translation of Tirmidhi's Shama'il:
Maulana Ashraf `Ali Thaanwi Saahib has written in his kitaab Zaadus Sa`eed a detailed treatise on the barakaat and virtues of the shoes of Rasulullah Sallallahu `Alayhi Wasallam. Those interested in this should read that kitaab (which is available in English). In short, it may be said that it [the Prophet's sandal] has countless qualities. The `ulama have experienced it many a time. One is blessed by seeing Rasulullah Sallallahu `Alayhi Wasallam in one's dreams; one gains safety from oppressors and every heartfelt desire is attained. Every object is fulfilled by its tawassul (means, petition, request). The method of tawassul is also mentioned therein.
We see by all the above evidence that tawassul and tabarruk are an intimate and integral part of the practice of the Companions, that it is Sunna, and that no-one denies it except those who deviate from the Sunna and who harbor the disease of ignorance and suspicion in their heart. May Allah protect us from their designs, and may He keep all Muslims unswervingly on the path of Ahl al-Sunna and that of the true Salaf. And Allah knows best.

Great speech by Deval Patrick! Very moving! Yes it was taxpayer funded. That's why we have Gov't. We all paid for a little chunk of that project. I am honored!
The Right wing propaganda machine pumps out crap like this endlessly to get those gullible enough to believe their Whoppers.( He is a Muslim, His Birth, He is a Socialist, etc) If you say it long enough and loud enough then you get some people actually believing it!
It is sad state of politics we have now in our society. I get daily bombardments of right wing fabrication emails from my wing nut friends. The ration of right wing email to left wing email has to be 99-1. I see very little sent out by those on the left and if they do it is pretty damn factual at the very least.
I really think there are more stupid people than smart people in this country now.
Very Sad news! I used to play street hockey and baseball and such with his brothers way back when in Agawam where I and he grew up! My sincere sympathies to his family! Red Sox nation lost a dear soul today.
I just went to the game on Sunday which now unfortunately was his last game. Rest in Peace Rocky Beane!
(his name from his WTXL days if anyone remembers)
Being a progressive Liberal myself I also never really liked Keith's style. He wasn't a very good face for our progressive movement. I like Ed Schulz the best. Good luck to you Keith but maybe it's time for a career change.
We do need more spokespeople from the left to counter the idiotic statements and lies that come from many of these right wing pundits. There spew is poisoning america and we need some common sense to prevail. Any educated informed person can see right through there bull crap. Problems is the uniformed fall for their crap to easily like a bunch of sheep.
Bill Dusty Wayne is right! Might not be the Taj Mahal area but all my years of going there never felt threatened once. As for trying to impress a date I guess that depends on how. I and most never went there for that reason. It was to get a great dinner at a reasonable price. No sugarcoating it at all here!
Shock! Thats what I am in! My favorite Italian restaurant ever! We were just there too for my little guys birthday on St Patty's day! Best Sauce and Chicken Franchaise ever! A sad sad day for Springfield! Good luck Joe, Don and family and all the Staff and a big thanks for the memories all these years and the great food!
I agree with expanding and strengthening the town manager position because it is that position that truly runs the day to day operation of the town. Also raise the salary and then we can get some better qualified applicants to find for the position that may stay in it for a while and have better qualifications. Give it the authority it needs! If not then let's have a mayor! Then you have someone elected that is truly in control or as the they say A person with "The buck stops here" mentality.
I see no problem with appointing some positions either. Get qualified people that go through an interview process like at any company. The select board are all part timers. they can't effectively run the town part time. Let's move into the next century. Oh can we finally someday merge the Water and Fire Districts and bring them under town control? Stop clinging to the past!
As for those that not like the same old same old people that are on the board. Well run for office then? Like the writer said and I saw it at the last election. Most contests go uncontested. And no I have no desire to run for any. I am content with living my busy life and letting others run the town for me. I will vote and that is as far as I will go. I pay my taxes and live my life here in lovely South Hadley.
It wasn't in the Pledge of Allegiance in the first place! It was added in 1954 during the RED scare and when the Christians started there takeover of the Republican party! And Get GOD off our money too while we are at it! Sheesh God is not for everyone you know! Separation of Church and state was said for a reason!
She has my vote hands down. I admired her when she worked tirelessly for the Obama administration, and I think she would make one heck of a senator fighting for the small people. Her election would be one more step to restore the super majority in the senate so it can be filibuster proof from the dreaded tea partiers.
We need someone with guts like Elizabeth has to fight the right wing crusade that wants to take us back to the dark ages. I think Teddy K would be happy to see her take his old seat. Hooray for Elizabeth! Do it! Now if we can win back Congress and re elect Obama then we can get back to providing meaningful legislation again instead of the quagmire we have now in Gov't from the party of NO.
White Hut does not belong here this far into their contest! No comparison to the many other fine burgers offered up her already! It's wafer thin and like many said you taste more of the fried onions than the burger!
Local Burger is a real fresh made burger of decent thickness to actually allow them to ask you pink or no pink! Fries are fresh cut too not like the frozen ones at the Hut. Don't get me wrong I grew up with the Hut and always stop by for a dog with the works and a cheeseburg fried whenever I am over that way! Great nostalgic place to go for a quick bite to eat! But I can't see how they would ever end up in this burger contest to make it to the top 4! That proves this is a nothing but a popularity contest! Sorry White hut I love ya but you don't belong in the finals!
I was sad to hear of the passing of Tommy! I have so many great memories of seeing NRBQ over my lifetime dozen's and dozens of times going back to the mid 70's for me. My first time seeing the boys was up in Sunderland at the Rusty Nail! I was hooked for life after that first concert! Miss you Tommy! You were the greatest!
Too bad for our local area! They were a refreshing alternative which allowed us to hear new music that the other stations won't play! Now we have Country Crap on that spot on the dial! I immediately deleted it from all my car radio presets! BYE BYE WRNX it was nice to know ya! RIP!
Hooray for Deval! Race may be part of it for some in the Tea party but regardless their primary focus to bring down Obama at any cost (us americans) and to repeal health care reform. They and the republicans want nothing better than keeping the unemployment rate high and the economy in the dumps going into the election year so that they can dupe ignorant americans into voting against Obama and any democrat.
That is there singular mission! They hate Obama and want him out! And the hell with the american people who need jobs and some of the many programs they are targeting to cut. I mean cutting fuel assistance out of the budget? give me a break!
I'd love to see them once break ranks and do something for americans! Sure make some cuts but also raise the tax rate on those that can afford it! The filthy rich and the corporations! Warren Buffet even said it! Raise my tax rate for pete's sake!
The Tea party is a joke!
I see no place for me in the current republican party. With the likes of Rick Perry, Bachman and Palin being out in front of their party that down right scares me that someone like those could take control of our government. Most in the party are Anti Gay, Anti Union, Anti women's rights (abortion) and Anti Immigrant and are way to close to letting religion control our government and policy. They depict government as an evil thing. We need our government to work of us.
Of course I am all for expanding to a single payer health care system. And having the Government reign in corporations and having them pay there fair share. Also we need to do some drastic cuts to our Defense budget. Close bases and cut the size of our troops and take care of the ones we have.
The military industrial complex is out of control.
Bottom line is that The republican party is down right scary! More now than ever!
Love the Pizza shoppe in EL! It has my vote!
Love Pizza Shoppe too but now that I live in S Hadley I haven't got over that way in a long while. With it making the finals I'll have to pay a visit to get one of their great pizzas! Love that sweetness in the crust and perfect blend and balance of toppings. Right up there with my favorite Joe's and Roberto's of N'ton.
As for not delivering don't matter to me. I always do pickup myself regardless if they deliver at any pizza shop. I prefer to get it myself rather than wait for a cold pizza to arrive.
As for Red Rose or Fazio's they are run of the mill puffy crust style which I don't care for. They are all the same.
Guys like this amaze me that they think they don't have to pay taxes or follow any laws. He is getting what he deserves by not paying! Taxes are necessary to pay for the roads and bridges he drives on. for the police and fire dept's to protect him. for the schools to educate his children, etc etc. If he thinks he should get it for free then maybe he should go live in Somalia. They have no gov't there and only warlords who you make payments to in order to stay alive!
These anarchist who call themselves patriots are in a delusion! Wake up to reality!
Pay your taxes boy! Stop drinking the Tea! Your mind is brainwashed by these ridiculous sovereign citizens as they like to call themselves. The signers of the constitution would be ashamed of you!
Joe's is my current favorite. Love the balance of thin ness to ingredients and the ambiance of the place has no comparison! It's a great hole in the wall place to go with lots of character!
I do miss Aqua Vitae and Cavalier and Casa Manana pizza though!
I love Pizza shop in EL! Haven't been there in a while now that we live in South Hadley! Great to see they made it to the final!
Of course in the paranoid world we live in now what response did you expect! For Pete's sake (or Luke that is) let them graduate with their class and drop the suspension! C'mon enough is enough! We can't let kids be kids anymore I guess! I still have weekly light saber fights with my 5 year old here at our house! And I'm 53 years old! I can see my little guy doing this when he is a senior someday! I brought him up as a Jedi so it's in his blood!
May the force be with you Tom and Ryan!

text: Otto Baric resigned from the team today after the embarrassing 6-1 defeat to Romania. The players really made him resign, in our first 10 qualification games we gave up 8 goals, in our last 2 we gave up 10. It is clear that the players don't want him and i'm really ashamed of them, I will miss Baric, he was the best coach Albania had in a long time. http://www.albaniasoccer.com/al/index.php?id=5181

SHERMAN, TX - School officials in Sherman have decided to only make up 2 of the 7 days students missed because of the snow.
Students will now have to go to school on May 20th and May 27th. Those days were set in advance to be used for "Bad Weather Makeup." The April 22nd Early Release Day will also now be a regular school day.
The school district is applying to the Texas Education Agency for a waiver on the other 5 days missed. If the TEA doesn't approve the waiver request, the remaining 5 days will have to rescheduled as well.

|Botox, for the soul
|By Sushmita Bose
|Friday, July 20, 2012
A non-invasive facial treatment Natura Bissés La Alternativa promises you a wrinkle-free visage at least temporarily. Does it work? We find out
From where he was sitting in his star-chamber, my senior colleague peered hard at my face. "You mean you have age lines? And wrinkles, did you say?"
"Well, yes," I said self-consciously, trying to discreetly tuck a few telltale grey strands of hair away.
"And you're telling me you're leaving the office at 4pm [he now peered at his watch] because you want to get a 'sort of' Botox treatment done on your face?"
"That's correct… a non-invasive procedure I am told, and a painless one I am assured," I mumbled and scooted out of the star-chamber before said senior colleague seized the moment and hollered, "Are you kidding me?"
That's exactly what my initial reaction was: are you kidding me? How can the effect of a sharp Botox shot be replicated by a soothing (at least that's what I'd imagined) facial massage? I did some research on La Alternativa — yes, that's what the therapy that promises a short-term Botox-like state is called (an alternative solution to the B-word, didn't you guess?) — and it seems that a sizeable chunk of the unwrinkled-skin-seeking world is singing its paeans. La Alternative uses the Inhibit range of (the Barcelona-based premium skincare company) Natura Bissé, and the means to the end of an unlined, smooth face is Octamioxyl, regarded as an "effective inhibitor of facial contractions", and Lipofiller, that fills "existing deep wrinkles and expression lines".
The therapy is available at the really nice spa at The Address Marina (called matter-of-factly The Spa); when I turned up in the hallowed portals this time around, I was aware this wasn't going to be an ingratiating knead session — but a baptism by fire for my facial skin.
The customary spa surroundings prevail: lovely, lemongrass-scented environs, gentle music and attentive staff. As I lie down on the therapy bed, a high-wattage beam of light is thrust into my face; fortunately, I don't have to suffer the onslaught of the radiance because Rosemary, the friendly therapist, sticks two wads of cotton on my eyes — and the light is now reduced to a blur
From thereon, it's a 90-minute ritual: cleansing, toning and intermittent application of a slew of masks containing the vital ingredients. Many of the applications impart a burning/tingling sensation, so brace yourself for the slightest bit of discomfort. There is some drama towards the end when the last, heavy, peel-off mask descends on my face like a sheet: for a few seconds, I almost cannot breathe, and the overpowering darkness is scary as hell.
Once I emerge from the darkness, am cleaned up, and given a looking glass to preen into. The logical question is: does this work?
Definitely yes, if you are looking for a painless, short-term fix to give your face a new lease of life. At the end of 90 minutes, your skin is all plumped up, taut, even and glowing.
And no, if you are looking for the semi-permanent withdrawal of lines (four to six months, on an average) that Botox guarantees (something your therapist makes very clear at the onset). La Alternativa's magical effect will wear off once you "wash your face", Rosemary warned, although the rigorous facial will leave you with a far longer-lasting, less visible toning/purifying impact.
So go ahead with it if you wake up one morning and realise it's a red-letter day.
Speaking for myself, it turned out to be quite the red-letter day. "Madam, I have to say something," Rosemary intoned as a perfect parting shot. "Your face didn't have many lines to begin with."
I beamed, secure in the knowledge that whatever laugh lines I did have will not show up till I had washed my face.

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Cal Poly Pomona suffered a season-ending 67-54 loss to Seattle Pacific on Monday afternoon in an NCAA Division II second-round playoff game.
With DeRonn Scott out because of a foot injury, Pomona made only three of 16 three-point shots. Mitchel Anderson led the Broncos with 12 points and Jordan Faison scored 10.
"I'm very proud of our team," Broncos Coach Greg Kamansky said. "These guys represent our university in the best way and we certainly battled out there today. This group set a new standard for our teams in the future and that's hard to do with what our program has accomplished in recent years."
Seattle Pacific led, 35-31, after one half and extended the lead to seven points about two minutes into the second half. Pomona went on an 8-0 run, with Anderson capping the rally with a fastbreak dunk, giving the Broncos a 41-40 lead.

Pike Co. Coal-to-Liquid Plant Projects Questioned
By Russ Cassady, Appalachian News-Express
The Buffalo Creek and Chisolm Energy coal-to-liquid plants are barely in existence, currently just plans on paper and a concrete pad at two Pike County sites. The projects, a pair of coal-to-liquid fuel plants proposed to be built in Pike County by the same company proposing a similar project in Mingo County, W.Va., have been on the drawing board since at least January. The plants, if built, will be the biggest economic development project undertaken in the county's history. But, documents obtained by the News-Express show that the project is already plagued with problems and issues which raise questions about the level of involvement of the county government in the projects.

When Andrew Scott lost a bunch of weight off his 5-foot-8, 230-pound body in two months in late 2012, the rumors and speculation swirled.
Was he sick? Was he taking drugs? What's wrong with him?
But it was none of the above.
Earlier in the year, his girlfriend, Ashley Renee Chong, had researched ways to lose weight before her sister got married and pinpointed her approach: a raw vegan cleanse diet, which then led to a plant-based vegan diet.
"In all my research on health and nutrition, I kept hearing the same things over and over and it clicked. I knew I needed to try eating vegan," says Chong, the American-born daughter of Jamaicans, her father being half Chinese and half African-American.
"At the time, the change was about losing weight, not being healthy."
And it worked. The West Ashley High School graduate, who is now 23, has shed 130 pounds off her 5-foot-2 frame, going from 252 pounds to 119.
More than weight loss
But she noticed even more significant benefits. She felt energized. Her skin cleared up and was more radiant. Her thinking seemed sharper and more focused.
Now a convert, she began "preaching" to the man she loved and with whom she is now engaged to be married.
At first, Andrew would have nothing of it.
The couple had enjoyed eating "the standard American diet" and their favorite place to go on a date was Wild Wings Cafe, where Andrew usually ordered "Drew's Devilishly Delicious Fried Chicken Sandwich" that comes with a side of "big, fat fries."
Andrew recalls his resistance. "When she first started doing her little things, nobody was listening to her, particularly me. I said to her, 'You do your thing. I'm going to eat my meat. I wanted my Southern fried cooking," recalls Andrew.
But Ashley kept at it, fixing rice and beans, and his resistance wore down.
"One day, something happened and it just clicked on. Once I made up my mind that going vegan was what I was going to do, I just dove in," says Andrew, who started in October 2012, six months after Ashley did.
They both note their weight loss came without exercising, but that both have signed up to work out at a CrossFit box.
Going raw
In December 2012, they took the diet up another notch, going to a raw vegan diet and have been on it ever since.
They have been undaunted even as their families and friends cracked jokes, some even giving Andrew the nickname of "Nature Boy." But as Renee and Andrew endured, they started noticing that fresh vegetables and other healthy habits started creeping into family gatherings.
None of their families have joined them as vegans, but they are eating healthier.
They hope to continue influencing both friends and even strangers.
11,000+ likes
Earlier this month, the staff with the "Forks Over Knives" website saw their before-and-after photographs on Instagram and asked permission to use them.
On April 15, Forks Over Knives posted "Together, we lost 200 pounds in 2 years!" to 21,000 followers on Facebook with a link to its website www.forksoverknives.com/together-lost-200-pounds-2-years/.
As of last weekend, the Facebook post gained more than 11,000 likes and 1,700 shares and the website link had 75 comments, some questioning whether it had more to do with eating fresh food than eliminating meat.
Ashley hopes to launch a business, Raw and Radiant, to teach people about adopting a raw vegan diet.
And while African-Americans have higher rates of obesity, heart disease and diabetes, the couple hope their message is universal.
"It's not a focus on any particular group. I just want to inspire all individuals to take care of their bodies," says Ashley. "I'm trying to reach everyone."

Icosteus aenigmaticus, (Lockington, 1880), 112mm large juvenile specimen (UW 041565).
Juvenile ragfish differ remarkably from adults.
Juveniles are light brown in colour and sprinkled with dark spots. They have a rounded caudal fin and pelvic fins below the pectoral fins.
During development the colour changes to a dark chocolate brown, the pelvics disappear and the caudal fin changes to a forked appearance.
It is believed that juvenile ragfish feed on medusa and jellyfish. Stomach contents of adult ragfish revealed additionally cephalopods, salps, and small fishes such as eel pouts (Zoarcidae).

(ABC 6 News) --It was a case that shocked the nation, three woman who've been missing for ten years, found alive.
Though it may have been easier for some to assume their loved one is gone forever, Victor Vieth with the National Child Protection Training Center says, you can't give up. "We've worked with over 750 families where a child's missing and many times it takes years," said Vieth
His group has teamed up with the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center. A group that started after an 11 year-old was kidnapped from his hometown, in St. Joseph, Minnesota.
"Until they find the child one way or another, there's always hope," said Vieth. The kind of hope that you see in this next case, anchorwoman Jodi Huisentruit disappeared 18 years ago next month from Mason City, Iowa.
Deputies we spoke with said, in any state, the search for someone who's gone missing, doesn't stop. "We do phone calls, we do interviews with individuals that identify with them, we check known associates, anywhere that person could possibly end up," said Sgt. Tom Claymon with the Olmsted County Sheriff's Department.
Even if someone is suspected of running away, like one of the Ohio women, Michelle Knight. "We have individuals in our jurisdiction that would fit that habitual run-away status or habitual missing person status, but each time it's a clean slate, we treat it that way. We treat it as though it's the first time," said Sgt. Claymon.
Though a number of these cases remain unsolved, experts like Vieth say, keep searching. "We actually get more good news than we often think," said Vieth.
On the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center's website, http://www.jwrc.org/, there are ways to teach your children what to do if they get in a situation where they could be taken.

Amazon will drop smaller publishers if they insist on the agency model
March 19, 2010 | 2:16 pm
By Paul Biba
Yesterday we published a couple of articles on Amazon/Apple and the larger publishers. Now comes some news about the smaller ones.
According to published sources, Amazon has told smaller publishers that it would not negotiate "agency model" terms with anyone other than the initial five Apple partners. If a publisher outside this list insisted on the agency model then Amazon would drop their entire list, both print and digital.
Welcome to the real world of commerce. Publishers have been protected for so long that I bet this comes as a shock. Not to the rest of the sales world, however. This is, actually, a real opportunity for smaller publishers. The initial 5 have locked themselves into a rigid pricing model and they don't understand the retail space. By staying away from this model, and by cooperating with a retailer who understands pricing better than anyone, the smaller pubs can try all sorts of marketing schemes to beat the big guys. Don't forget, the "agency model" guys have now taken over price control and have absolutely no experience as to how to use it. It will be fun to see what happens.
Thanks to Erin Biba for the heads up.

TeleRead Links: Amazonopoly, AlphaSmart, libraries and the Internet, and more
Better than a book cover: Geo-based P2P to let people know what you're reading—and maybe even share content
So we have a showdown? Apple won't carry any publishers that don't go with the agency model; Amazon won't carry any who do go with the agency model, except those big five. Interesting times.
I certainly don't see a problem sticking with Amazon's standard terms. They pay royalties based on list price. If they want to price it lower (they do for my titles), more power to them.
As for Apple, I have to admit they haven't (yet) been beating down my doors but I'm happy to do an agency model with them and a distribution model with Amazon. Let them battle it out–I want both to be successful.
Rob Preece
I don't quite buy your reasoning. If Amazon's scheme is so good, why do they have to force it on everyone but the Big Five? That makes no sense. And if the giant corporations who market and sell most of the bestsellers don't understand pricing, then you're certainly not going to find that expertise among harried small publishers who can't afford marketing studies or expert advice.
The problem isn't these two models. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. It's this bullying demand that a publisher not market a book more cheaply elsewhere, even if the conditions of sale are very different there and particularly on his own website. That's what gets my blood pressure up. It also places authors and publishers in a potentially nasty legal situation if they inadvertently do something that Amazon lawyers think is a violation of their contract.
Be very, very careful what you sign. It may be better to market ebooks through a more obliging middleman who offers better terms such as Ingram or Smashwords.
Amazon seems to me to be caught in the classic monkey-jar trap. (that's where some goodies are put in a jar; the monkey grabs them, but can't pull his fist out of the jar when loaded with goodies. Rather than let go of the goodies, the monkey is trapped.)
They started off wanting to be 'Earth's biggest bookstore' and now see a potential for selling ebooks. So they are prepared to damage their reputation and not sell all print books, just to keep going after the chimera of iTunes-like monopoly over ebooks? This is just not grownup behavior.
It will be interesting to see how closely the big publishers match one another's prices under this 'agency' model, and if the governments of the world decide to prosecute them under antitrust and price-fixing laws.
— asotir
Some of us do sell through our own sites…and through Amazon etc. Moving from all direct to sales through distribution was a major step (and a hard one as distributors are an expensive option) but it definitely resulted in more sales for me and my authors (although it resulted in reduced direct sales). There is value to readers (and therefore to publishers) in having points of contact where readers can browse books from multiple publishers to find just the story they want to read. Few readers would take the time to shop every publisher for promising new authors although they might hunt down favorite best-selling authors.
Regarding some of the other comments, I guess I have a hard time seeing that there are significant moral issues in whether to offer an agency model or a standard distribution model.

Obviously I should add support for other timebases, despite the fact that most of them are broken. I think FreeBSD did get that one right though their support infrastructure is ridiculously complex for the purpose. e.g. the ACPI timer (which is an unlatched ripple counter on many chipsets and thus cannot simply be read once to get a stable value), and the LAPIC timer. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Definitely. I think he's one of the few players that could just awe you without having to have amazing athletic ability. The way he stepped out of easy sacks and fired bullets with the quickest release probably ever for a QB was just amazing.

What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease that affects the body's ability to produce or respond to insulin, a hormone that allows blood glucose (blood sugar) to enter the cells of the body and be used for energy.
Diabetes falls into two main categories: type 1, which usually occurs during childhood or adolescence; and, type 2, the most common form of the disease which typically occurs after age 45, although there is an alarming increase in children and young adults with type 2 disease.
Approximately 9% of all women in the U.S. have diabetes. Unfortunately about a third of them do not know they have the disease.
Prevalence of diabetes is at least 2 to 4 times higher among African American, Hispanic/Latino, American Indian and Asian/Pacific Islander women than among Anglo-American women.
Gestational diabetes develops in up to 5% of all pregnancies. Women who have had gestational diabetes have a 50% chance of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
Women and men with diabetes are nearly eight times as likely to suffer peripheral vascular disease, a disorder resulting in reduced blood flow and oxygen to tissues in feet and legs.
Women and men with diabetes have a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
Risk Factors
Advancing age
Being overweight or obese
Inactive lifestyle
Belonging to specific ethnic groups (see above)
High blood pressure (140/90 or above)
Family history of diabetes
Having gestational diabetes or having a baby weighing more than 9 pounds
Signs and Symptoms
Increased thirst
Frequent urination
Weight changes
Blurred vision
Dry, itchy skin
Vaginal/yeast infections
Sometimes there are no symptoms of diabetes. If you have risk factors you need to be checked regularly.
Early diagnosis and compliance with medical advice can significantly improve the prognosis for someone with diabetes. Treatment will include diet and exercise. Medication and/or insulin may be necessary depending on several patient specific factors.
Preventive Measures
The risk of having type 2 diabetes can be reduced through lifestyle modifications including weight control, a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Coliseum: What's next?
Helping hands aid cleanup
The rusty railing outside the dilapidated Memorial Coliseum is gone. The torn gutters and tattered sign are next.
And so far, it's not costing a thing. Alpha Building Corp. is doing the work for free.
Mike Hummell, chairman of the committee tasked with finding a solution for the site, had said he would take care of the repairs himself.
"I'm extremely pleased that somebody beat me to it," Hummell said.
Project manager Bill Millar said the firm has worked with the city on repairs to other buildings and heard from city employees the coliseum needed some help.
"We looked at it, and they didn't have money available right at the moment, and there are some safety issues where kids could get hurt, so we agreed to take care of some problems for them," he said.
The removal of the sign, gutters and railing are estimated to cost $2,000 to $3,000 and will take about three days, he said.
While the building's appearance hasn't changed lately, it is causing problems because parts are rusting and may fall off or injure passersby, said Kevin Stowers assistant director of the city's engineering department.
The city-owned coliseum was the site of community events, graduations, concerts and quinceañeras until the city opened the American Bank Center in late 2004. The bayfront landmark, designed by highly regarded local architect Richard Colley and dedicated to World War II veterans, opened in 1954. A deal to turn the site into an amusement park complete with a Ferris wheel fell through in March after a swell of opposition.

How about everyone stops crying about the way it use to be in New Jersey and face reality. The state is broke and can't afford the lucrative contracts that state works have gotten in the past, the union leaders only care about keeping their sweet gigs with fat salaries and don't give a crap about their members, our wonderful elected officials only want to fatten their own bank accounts and don't give a crap about the tax payers, and the union members and people of this state are too stupid to realize all this. It's about time we all took the advice of NJ101.5 radio host Jim Gearhart "Get Rid of Incumbent Politicians". I know that I am not voting in November for any sitting elected official I suggest everyone do the same.
First of all you ignorant & arrogant idiots the TSA has nothing to do with the security of the airport perimeter that's the PAPDs job. The TSA is responsible for screening the passengers at the screening checkpoints and the luggage at the ticket counters. The PAPD and a private contractor are responsible for the perimeter security. However, the PAPD is too busy crying about their lucrative contract and fighting with everyone else at the airports to care about doing their jobs. The private security company employees are the same people who let the hijackers on the plane on September 11, 2001, let the drunk driver through the fence and around the tarmac a few years ago at Newark, they were probably too busy on their cell phone to stop the guy from jumping over the gate, and this is also the same company that the nut job from Linden who made comments about the President worked for.

|I could use one of these salads right about now! Mmm! Thank-you Cafe Rio!
|I could use one of these salads right about now! Mmm! Thank-you Cafe Rio!
esahm says
This recipe sounds really interesting! Thinking of giving it a try when my husband gets back from his business trip. I came to check out your site after you found mine through the blog hop. I love your concept! It really makes me want to make my sisters a part of my own blog. I'm now a GFC and Facebook follower.
Zitting Zoo says
does it have to be dr. pepper? or could i use diet coke?
Camille says
@Zitting Zoo- I have tried this recipe with Coke (and it's still so good), but I have heard that Diet Coke doesn't taste as good . . . something about the "diet" ingredients not producing the same yummy flavor (I think that the sugar plays a big role in why this is so good!). But, you never know! If you try it, let us know!
Julie says
This was a hit! Served it with lime-cilantro rice. Very yummy! Thank you for sharing
fran heckert says
Hi Im wondering do I use a pork roast or tenderloin? Thanks
Camille says
I prefer to use a pork roast. It seems to do better in this recipe!
alexxkw says
Does the sauce include the salsa? Or does that go on the side…
Camille says
It includes the salsa! You can put additional salsa on top or I like to use fresh pico de gallo or fresh tomatoes.
Jacki says
Do you have a recipe for the Cafe Rio salad dressing? We moved from Utah to NC and miss Cafe Rio so much!
Six Sisters says
We found a recipe on another blog for you -
We are big Cafe Rio lovers! Have a great day! -The Six Sisters
Kari says
These are my absolute favorite thing to eat! Just curious, which brand of salsa do you use?

By Lindsay Toler
It is 2:45 on a Saturday afternoon in Cave-In-Rock, Illinois, a small town filled with beautiful parks and untouched wildlife, located about three and a half hours southeast of St. Louis. The sun has finally poked out from behind the clouds after days of overcast skies and intermittent rain, driving the temperatures into the mid-90s.
"Come on, when is this thing going to get started?" inquires a heavyset man standing amid a crowd that has assembled in and around a large tent, dabbing his forehead with the T-shirt from which he has divested himself. Staining the shirt along with his sweat are smears of black and white clown makeup that are melting off the man's face in the heat.
This is the Gathering of the Juggalos, an annual music festival, now in its fourteenth year, produced by Insane Clown Posse, a Detroit-based rap group largely responsible for revitalizing the "horror-core" genre of hip-hop in the 1990s. ("Juggalos," for the uninitiated, is a term that fans of the group and their related acts use to refer to themselves.) The affair, which transpires over a five-day summertime stretch on private land in middle-of-nowhere Cave-In-Rock, brings thousands of face-painted fans to the tiny Illinois town. The Seminar Tent, which occupies primo real estate at the center of the Gathering, serves as a platform for performers to address their fans at scheduled times. ICP's seminar is the biggest draw, with hundreds jammed into a space designed to accommodate far fewer.
See Also: - Our Complete Gathering of the Juggalos Coverage
At about three o'clock, nearly an hour behind schedule, two men whose faces are obscured by clown paint take the tent's minuscule stage. Immediately the beach balls that had been batted about overhead to pass the time are forgotten and left to fall.
Joseph Bruce, better known as to this group as Violent J, is first to speak. "We'd like to thank all of you for coming to the seminar," he says. "We think about this — this exact moment — all year. Because we see you guys as the most elite juggalos on the planet. There are juggalos all over the world, but you guys are the ones that came here. It's like you've come to Mecca, and we're gonna tell you some shit, and that shit is going to be spread throughout the whole juggalo world."
The crowd cheers in approval, yelling "woop woop!" as is the custom.
Bruce and his stagemate Joseph Utsler, better known to the crowd as Shaggy 2 Dope, comprise ICP. Despite a lack of mainstream assistance, the two have built an empire for themselves. Their Psychopathic Records label is said to bring in $10 million in gross annual revenue, according to the group in a 2010 interview with Nightline. In addition to music, the company has interests in merchandise, professional wrestling and video production.
"Nah, I can't," Bruce says to a fan in the front row who's offering him a hit off of a blunt. "We perform tonight, and my voice is sounding good so I don't want to fuck it up." Even as he is declining, he is reaching his arm forward, seemingly subconsciously, toward the kid. "All right, fine," he relents, grabbing the joint and taking a long drag. "You don't have to ask me twice."
The crowd screams its approval.
The ICP seminar plays out like an infomercial: There's the upcoming tour's itinerary, which includes Albuquerque — despite that city's then-mayor having banned the group after its last visit, according to juggalo residents in attendance — and Canada — "Believe it or not, Shaggy is finally off probation, so we're headed to Canada!" Bruce announces. Following the tour, the group will reenter the studio to record the followup to 2012's The Mighty Death Pop! Fuse TV is airing a new TV show, ICP Theater. ICP's streaming audio show, hosted by artists on the Psychopathic roster, will take up where it left off when it went on hiatus last November.
"We don't make money on it," Bruce says of the show. "It has always been a loss for us, but we do it anyway, for you guys! For the juggalos!"
Bruce says the Gathering itself is a money-losing proposition. That might be so, but there's definitely money to be made here.
It's virtually impossible to walk ten feet on the festival grounds without being approached by someone selling something. Offerings range from illicit (drugs, moonshine) to run-of-the-mill necessities (toilet paper) to...truly bizarre.
Like the young man near the entrance who traveled all the way from Maine to attend but had failed to make arrangements for the return trip.
"Kick this kid in the balls for five dollars!" a man with a megaphone bellows on the kid's behalf. "Fifteen dollars to fuck him in the ass with a Sharpie!"

A passerby in her twenties plunks down a five-spot and promptly levels the poor fellow with a sneaker to the crotch. "Thank you," he says, wincing, as onlookers happily throw in dollar bills for the privilege of having borne witness. The woman tries to double down, insisting that she should get two shots because the kid flinched the first time, but the crowd is having none of it. "He's suffered enough," she's told.

This country needs to get its act together. Our Founding Fathers created a system with checks and balances. The idea was to force opposing views to compromise while ensuring no tyrannical leadership could supersede the will of the people.
The differences between Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, Conservatives, Tea Party and all Americans is very small. We all want good government. We want good-paying jobs. We want a safe homeland and a peaceful world. We all want ample opportunities and a sound future for our children. We want good roads, safe neighborhoods and schools that will educate our young to advance our nation. We want to keep our taxes low. We want affordable health care and systems that are fair and equitable to all our citizens. We want a secure social security system that takes care of the elderly and a social support system to keep the unfortunate among us from falling through the cracks.
What we're seeing coming out of Washington is anything but a focus on those shared goals. The only thing getting in the way of our pursuit of those lofty goals are politicians who won't speak to each other. Most politicians today fear the opposing side getting more credit. If we don't change that attitude soon, it will be our downfall.
With the current emphasis focused on our debt ceiling, I would like to share the words of a noted statesman:
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our government's reckless fiscal policies.
"And the cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on. Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America's priorities. Instead, interest payments are a significant tax on all Americans — a debt tax that Washington doesn't want to talk about. If Washington were serious about honest tax relief in this country, we would see an effort to reduce our national debt by returning to responsible fiscal policies. But we are not doing that.

In the last years the Android's phone sales growth a lot.
Surely, one of the key success factors of this platform is the possibility to have a touch operating system with hundred thousand of apps available and runnable on smartphone with a starting price of 99$.
So, what's the problem? The big problem
It's huge users base make android a fertile ground in which online thief put their efforts to gain access to:
- user accounts
- private data
- credit card numbers
A platform with no bugs doesn't exist and never exist but anyone who make you pay for a phone should garantee you to have a system repairable e upgradable.
Google can garantee this, Android can't... why?
Generally, for my experience the only phones that receive system update are Nexus phone, made by phone manufactures for Google.
If you have an Android phone .. you should have Jelly Bean now, lastest version of Android.
That's how it should works...is there a system update? and your phone have to receive it.
Other hardware manufactures doesn't generally update their phone.. after you have bought their phone, they ignore you, they leave you , they leave you with an insecure system that can be compromised with a simple link received from a social network, or scanning a qrcode(link) or by NFC(link).
Most of the problems found on a module like webkit are commons to IOS, because also apple product use Webkit for web rendering, but on the Iphone the OS insecurity is limited to people who doesn't want to make a system update.
The problem on IOS are solved in some days.
The solutions
Here they are some solutions:
- buy another phone
- buy a nexus phone (new will be available soon)
- use a custom rom: you can flash your phone with a rom made by someone like cyanogenmod (how can I trust them?
I don't know.. butit is opensource and better than a stock buggy rom)
- don't buy an android phone
This is an article about a security problem on Google Drive and DropBox of some days ago: http://blog.watchfire.com/wfblog/2012/10/old-habits-die-hard.html
You can immagine how many other app can have security problem... so don't just "yes install accept accept accept yes do what you want with my phone".
And this is another recent article about how apps are generally insecure when handle HTTPS connection (for example when you want to watch your bank account from your phone).
If you have not seen this yet.. watch this android bug and... think that the only android platform not affected.. is jelly bean.

Stanley Tucci, "The Tucci Cookbook" Book Signing Wednesday 10/10 at 7pm
TONIGHT, Stanley Tucci will be signing his new book, The Tucci Cookbook, at R.J. Julia Booksellers! His book, purchased from our store, is your ticket to the signing line. Please call the store for availability. 203-245-3959.
"Stanley's masterful artistry and talent on screen is inevitable, and having cooked with Stanley in my own kitchen, I can say with confidence that Stanley has talent behind the stoves as well. He is at ease and most skilled while cooking, and delivers truly delicious recipes. This cookbook is an intimate glimpse into the Italian heritage that Stanley holds dear--sharing the memories and flavors of his family table. And, it is with much admiration that I recommend this delicious read." ~ Lidia Bastianich, New York Times bestselling author of Lidia's Italy in America.
There is some truth to the old adage "Most
of the world eats to live, but Italians live to eat."
What is it about a good Italian supper that feels like home, no matter where you're from? Heaping plates of steaming pasta . . . crisp fresh vegetables . . . simple hearty soups . . . sumptuous stuffed meats . . . all punctuated with luscious, warm confections.
For acclaimed actor Stanley Tucci, teasing our taste buds in classic foodie films such as Big Night and Julie & Julia was a logical progression from a childhood filled with innovative homemade Italian meals: decadent Venetian Seafood Salad; rich and gratifying Lasagna Made with Polenta and Gorgonzola Cheese; spicy Spaghetti with Tomato and Tuna; delicate Pork Tenderloin with Fennel and Rosemary; fruity Roast Duck with Fresh Figs; flavorful Baked Whole Fish in an Aromatic Salt Crust; savory Eggplant and Zucchini Casserole with Potatoes; buttery Plum and Polenta Cake; and yes, of course, the legendary Timpano.
Featuring nearly 200 irresistible recipes, perfectly paired with delicious wines, The Tucci Cookbook is brimming with robust flavors, beloved Italian traditions, mouthwatering photographs, and engaging, previously untold stories from the family's kitchen.
Stanley Tucci has appeared in more than fifty films, including The Devil Wears Prada, The Terminal, and Road to Perdition, as well as more than a dozen plays, on and off Broadway. Stanley starred in Julie & Julia, opposite Meryl Streep, and The Lovely Bones, for which he earned his first Academy Award nomination along with Golden Globe, BAFTA, SAG, and Broadcast Film Critics nominations.
This event is a straight signing. The book is the ticket.
Event date:
Wednesday, October 10, 2012 - 7:00pm

The Des Moines Register announced Saturday its endorsement of Mitt Romney for the GOP presidential nomination, giving the ex-Massachusetts governor a potential boost as he seeks to overtake front-runner Newt Gingrich in the polls.
"Sobriety, wisdom and judgment," the newspaper's editorial board said on its website. "Those are qualities Mitt Romney said he looks for in a leader. Those are qualities Romney himself has demonstrated in his career in business, public service and government. Those qualities help the former Massachusetts governor stand out as the most qualified Republican candidate competing in the Iowa caucuses."
The Register noted that it did not endorse the former Massachusetts governor in 2008 -- it gave the nod to Sen. John McCain, who lost Iowa to Mike Huckabee but eventually won the nomination.
"This is a different field, and he has matured as a candidate. Rebuilding the economy is the nation's top priority, and Romney makes the best case among the Republicans that he could do that," it said.
Romney tweeted his reaction to the endorsement Saturday night.
"Proud to receive the @DMRegister's endorsement! Looking forward to being back in Iowa soon," he said via Twitter.
The Register's endorsement is eagerly coveted by presidential candidates, but the newspaper's track record of picking Hawkeye State winners in recent years has been underwhelming. In addition to selecting McCain over Huckabee, it backed Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama that year; Obama cruised to victory in the state.
In a surprise move, it also endorsed John Edwards in the 2004 Democratic presidential primary. Edwards was able to snag second place in the caucuses -- a showing that many attributed in part to the newspaper's backing -- and he became Sen. John Kerry's running mate that year.
The paper also backed Democrat Bill Bradley and McCain in 2000. Bradley came in a distant second to Vice President Al Gore in Iowa that year; McCain came in fifth, behind winner George W. Bush, Steve Forbes, Alan Keyes and Gary Bauer.
Polls currently show Gingrich with an average of a 4-point lead in Iowa, according to RealClearPolitics' survey summations. Romney has escalated his rhetoric against the former House speaker in recent days. So has Rep. Ron Paul, who is widely regarded as having the best on-the-ground organization in Iowa.
"Newt Gingrich is an undisciplined partisan who would alienate, not unite, if he reverts to mean-spirited attacks on display as House speaker," The Register said. "Ron Paul's libertarian ideology would lead to economic chaos and isolationism, neither of which this nation can afford."
Asked about the endorsement at an event in Fairfax, Va., Gingrich said he had no comment. RC Hammond, a Gingrich spokesperson, said, "Congratulations."
Rep. Michele Bachmann, who has roots in Iowa and made the state central to her campaign, released a statement Saturday that implied her disappointment at the paper's decision.
"I respect the decision of the Des Moines Register editorial board, but I disagree with their rationale and analysis of my campaign," Bachmann said in a statement.
