(CNN) — President Barack Obama on Friday defended the the "vital role" that intelligence-gathering plays in the nation's security, as he nonetheless announced changes aimed at increasing transparency and protecting privacy and civil liberties.
He illustrated the nexus of intelligence and security, recalling events in American history going back to Paul Revere's famous ride.
Obama said that "a variety of factors have continued to complicate America's efforts to both defend our nation and uphold our civil liberties," citing technological advances that allow supercomputers to gather huge amounts of digital data as a reason for needing to reform U.S. surveillance programs.
The reforms that Obama announced will end the controversial National Security Agency telephone bulk collection program as it currently exists, officials said.
Intelligence analysts will now need court approval to go into phone records routinely stored by the NSA, a change resulting from concerns raised by classified leaks last year by former agency contractor Edward Snowden that revealed the government's collection of phone "metadata."
No evidence of abuse has been found involving surveillance programs, but changes are needed in response to legitimate privacy concerns that have been raised, Obama said.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told CNN on Friday that "we heard a lot of lies" in President Barack Obama's speech announcing government surveillance reforms.
Assange disputed Obama's contention that the National Security Agency has never abused its authority and dismissed the President's assurances that the United States would not snoop on foreign leaders.
"You don't spy on them, you just spy on everyone else they talk to," Assange said.
The President remained critical of Snowden, who is now living under asylum in Russia following his series of leaks that began last June and transformed the debate on national security surveillance in the post 9/11 era.
"Our nation's defense depends in part on the fidelity of those entrusted with our nation's secrets," Obama said. "If any individual who objects to government policy can take it in their own hands to publicly disclose classified information, then we will never be able to keep our people safe, or conduct foreign policy."
Assange told CNN that Snowden would respond — possibly early next week — to Obama's announced U.S. surveillance reforms.
"I'm not sure if he's watching, but he's following the matter quite closely," Assange said.
Obama also called on Congress to authorize establishment of a new panel of outside advocates to participate in "significant cases" before the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that handles intelligence collection issues.
He also said that the United States "is not spying on ordinary people who don't threaten our national security" and added that "unless there is a compelling national security purpose, we will not monitor the communications of heads of state and government of our close friends and allies."
The scope of phone and e-mail snooping by NSA revealed by Snowden triggered outrage from civil libertarians and prompted key members of Congress from both parties to weigh changes in national security law.
Nothing in his administration's initial review of U.S. intelligence operations and "nothing that I have learned since indicated that our intelligence community has sought to violate the law or is cavalier about the civil liberties of their fellow citizens," Obama said.
While the bulk telephone data remains with the NSA for now, Obama wants those records moved out of government hands, though it is uncertain where, a senior administration official said.
Changes imposed by the President will permanently place his signature on the intelligence initiative and help define his legacy as a chief executive who promised a more open and transparent government when he entered the White House five years ago.
NSA domestic and international phone and e-mail surveillance is considered some of the most widespread intelligence gathering performed by the U.S. government.
The agency and its supporters believe data collection authority is crucial to discovering potential terrorists who haven't yet come to the attention of national security officials.
But critics say it violates privacy rights of Americans whose data is collected even though there is no suspicion that they pose a security threat.
Federal courts are divided on NSA telephone data collection. One judge in Washington ruled preliminarily in December that it was probably unconstitutional on privacy grounds. A second judge ruling in another case in New York subsequently found it lawful.
The top-secret the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which oversees the legal aspects of surveillance, earlier this month reauthorized the program for another three months.
The program is covered under Section 215 of the Patriot Act and has been authorized 36 times over the past seven years.
In summary, here's what it all meant:
1. The public will get a voice before the secret intelligence court — sort of
The way things work now at the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the government asks a judge in secret for permission to collect, say, phone records. No one gets to argue the other side.
Obama said he wants to open the court's doors to advocates from outside the government who can "provide an independent voice in significant cases."
The idea is to make sure outside voices have a say — voices that might not always buy into the intelligence community's arguments, but who knows what that panel will end up looking like.
2. New limits on telephone records
If you've been paying attention the last few months, you know the National Security Agency has been slurping up details on millions of phone calls placed in the United States. The agency isn't recording the actual conversation – they're after stuff like the phone numbers involved and the time and length of each call.
That won't end, exactly, but Obama says big changes are coming. First, fewer calls will be cataloged. And analysts will now have to get a judge's approval to dip into the records. Later, the government will stop collecting and storing those records. Where they'll go is still up in the air, though.
3. Super-secret "we want your stuff" letters are changing
Remember the movie, "Fight Club?" Remember the line, "First rule of fight club is you do not talk about Fight Club?" Well, the government has something like that called the National Security Letter program. It requires tech companies to cough up info about suspected terrorists and others without so much as a peep.
Obama wants to change it so those letters don't always stay secret. He also wants to give tech companies more latitude to reveal information about what the government asks for. He didn't say exactly what they'll be able to reveal, but at least maybe they'll be able to finally acknowledge "Security Club."
4. People living outside the U.S. get some love, too
Revelations sparked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden's leaks didn't just rile up Americans. We learned the United States had been monitoring leaders of some of its allies, such as Germany. The U.S. also doesn't extend the kind of privacy protections to your everyday Italian or Peruvian living outside the United States.
So Obama says the U.S. will take what he calls the "unprecedented step" of developing some privacy safeguards for citizens of other nations living abroad. That might include limits on how long the U.S. keeps personal information and taking steps to make sure it's used only in very limited circumstances.

Gov. Rick Perry's Day of Prayer proposal and well-publicized chats with God are clearly aimed at attracting social conservatives, but there's one obstacle that could stand in his way: Mike Huckabee.
Huckabee is no fan of Perry, as he makes clear in this recent email to supporters:
Meanwhile, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, is still flirting with a run, and it's the type of flirting even his wife approves of. The Dallas Morning News reports that a campaign button collector ordered a "Perry for Governor 2010" button from Perry's office. What he got back was a button, all pressed and ready to go, that reads, "Perry – President – 2012." So if Perry's not running, then that button will be a REAL collector's item. For all his new found commitment to hyper-conservatism, he'll get to explain why he supported pro-abortion, pro-same sex marriage Rudy Guiliani last time.
Why is Huckabee letting one endorsement overshadow Perry's entire career? Because for him, this is a personal grudge. Politico's Jonathan Martin reports the animosity toward Perry likely stems from the Texas governor declining to endorse Huckabee in 2008:
"I love Mike," Perry told an Iowa crowd in 2007. "I mean, he's like a brother. I just don't think he can win and I shared that with him. And [Huckabee] asked me to be his national chairman about six months ago and I told him, I said, 'Man, I love you like a brother, but just let me slide here.' It was a hard conversation to call and tell him I was for Rudy. He was disappointed and a bit frustrated. I still love him and he loves me."
Not only did Perry turn Huckabee down, he also took some swipes at him while campaigning for Giuliani. "This isn't the presidency of Iowa and New Hampshire we're talking about. This is the presidency of the United States we're talking about," said Perry in 2007. "The idea of the hare and the tortoise comes to mind."
If Huckabee decides to really go after Perry "phoniness" on social conservative issues from his platform at Fox News, it could influence how the Texas governor is perceived with evangelicals and in Iowa. Perry can obviously defend himself by playing up his record, but it would be a struggle for him to win over social conservatives if Huckabee also throws his weight behind someone like Michele Bachmann, who's already incredibly popular with values voters.
And Perry may have more problems than just Huckabee. Faith and Freedom Coalition founder Ralph Reed, an influential evangelical leader, has also been dismissive of Perry, according to Religion Dispatches. "I don't see him being a factor," Reed told the Christian Post, when asked about a potential Perry presidential run. Even a good personal record on social conservative issues may not help Perry if enough evangelical leaders turn against him.

Torquay United set to recall Ashley Yeoman from Bideford loan spell
Posted: January 03, 2014|
Torquay United are set to recall Ashley Yeoman from his loan spell at Bideford.
Caretaker manager Geoff Harrop made bringing back on-loan players his priority following the sacking of Alan Knill yesterday.
Harrop, who is Torquay's head of youth, has already recalled Damon Lathrope from Hereford United and told the Herald Express he expected to take back Yeoman as well.
"Players who are out on loan should come back to the club as it's about starting again," said Harrop. "Damon needs to come back here and Ashley Yeoman as well.
Related content
"They are employed by Torquay and we've got to give them every chance to impress Torquay. It was my first decision to bring them back here."
Yeoman has scored five goals for Bideford since joining them in October, including a hat-trick in the 3-2 win over St Neots Town, helping the side to fourth place in the Calor League Premier Division.
He may now be back in the Torquay squad in time for tomorrow's Sky Bet League Two match against Morecambe.
Knill was sacked following the 2-0 defeat to Plymouth Argyle on New Year's Day, which left the Gulls second from bottom of the Football League.
Bideford are due to host Hungerford Town at the Sports Ground tomorrow.

Best Blog St. Louis 2005 - Viva El Birdos
Viva El Birdos scribe lboros knows so much about Cardinals baseball that he spends most of his columns debating himself. Topics that have taken on great controversy in his own mind (and thus spilled upon the digital page) include: Who's had a better first 600 at-bats, So Taguchi or Willie McGee? (Remember, you've got to consider "the changes to busch stadium between the 1980s and 2000s" and "the difference in run-scoring context between the two eras.") Also, wonders lboros, has shortstop David Eckstein been a net asset to the team or a liability since coming over from the Angels? Sure, his NRAA -- that's Net Runs Above Average -- sucks, but his "Situational Intelligence" is solid. The blog features commentary from other armchair managers and links to other baseball blogs, but in Cardinal Nation, lboros is tops: thought-provoking, thorough and well-written. Viva "Viva"!

Bugis Street
In the 1950s, Bugis Street gained notoriety as a place where transgendered locals would come down to hang out, driving a tourism boom that made it ideal for grabbing some push-cart, or hawker, food while enjoying a variety of inexpensive merchandise.
Today, the area is much more tamed and where the retail scene is still very much alive, but less of a scandalous place than it once was. Nonetheless, visitors still enjoy going to Bugis to listen about the history as well as get their hands on great local foods, candy and some of the most fashionable clothes in Singapore.

Gorgeous South African Home Sits Amid the Treetops
Posted By Lori Zimmer On September 23, 2011 @ 1:00 pm In Architecture,Daylighting,Design | 1 Comment
Located in a lush area next to a valley and stream, the house offers 2,475 square feet of living space. Echoing the trees [6] surrounding the property, Van Der Merwe Miszewski created five tree-like architectural elements that anchor the roof, and provide support throughout the open-floor home. The top floor, which is located under the "boughs" of the tree structures, houses a lounge area that is perched on a partial floor balcony. Floor-to-ceiling glass curtains [7] make up most of the exterior walls, creating a unique interior space that is broken up by elements such as a modern fireplace on the top floor. Because the glass walls prohibit hanging art work, the clients furnished the upper space with their collection of contemporary sculpture, which can be found throughout the living room.
The floors below hold the bedrooms, which meet the glass curtain [8] wall. The architects installed sliding glass doors, enabling guests to open the entire wall to bring in fresh outside air. The kitchen, although mostly enclosed to support the state of the art appliances and cupboards, is flooded with natural light thanks to a high strip of windows [9] that spans the perimeter of the room.
The treehouse home links itself with the majestic African landscape while creating a dialogue between the architectural elements [10] inside and the trees outside.

Apple: No 'pop-up store' at SXSW this year
updated 08:00 pm EST, Mon March 5, 2012
No reason given, though iPad a factor
After running an experimental "pop-up" store in Austin during the South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive festival last year, Apple has confirmed that it will not be participating this year. No reason was given, but the timing of the anticipated iPad 3 release may have played a role. Last year, the pop-up store appeared more than a week after the release of the iPad 2, but this year the iPad 3 will be announced just two days before the festival, and may not be immediately available.
Even if the new iPad does become available on the day of its announcement, supplies are expected to be extremely constrained for many retail outlets, and Apple may wish to give preference to its own retail stores and partners ahead of more "promotional" appearances. Last year's store occupied the Scarborough Building on Congress and Sixth, and sold the iPad along with other Apple products and accessories during the festival, which this year runs March 9th-13th.
Other explanations are also possible: that the store did not meet Apple's expectations last year, or that the expense or logistics of pop-up stores were not justified. The website Austin360 has speculated that the move may signal a later release date for the new iPad. Most reports of the forthcoming media event expect the iPad 3 will be available on or very shortly after the formal announcement, at least in the US.

Step 1: Find the things you need
Step 2: Prepare the boxes
If you use a milk-carton, like I did, you need to cut them down the middle so you have two "boxes". You can also use a carton that is already open.
You then need to cut some holes in the bottom of the boxes with the sharp knife to let out access water so the seeds won't drown.
Step 3: Sow the seeds
The most frequent process is starting with a thin layer of dirt, after which you carefully sow some seeds. Then cover the seeds with a thicker layer of dirt, gently push the dirt down and give the seeds some water.
Water the seeds frequently (see instructions on the seed packet to see how many times is recommended) and keep them out of harsh sunlight.
Step 4: Take care of the seeds
Step 5: Re-plant
You can plant the small plants in any shape you like, like this X shape or any other shape you like.

The Internet is a wonderful tool, but you have to use it wisely, said Mississippi Attorney General Jim Hood when addressing an audience of more than 380 Boys State delegates at Mississippi State University on Wednesday [May 28].
"What we're seeing is a vast expansion of crime on the Internet--everything from cyberbullying to intellectual property to hacking," said Hood, a Chickasaw County native who is now in his second term in office and is Mississippi's only Democratic statewide elected official.
"Statistics show that 97 to 99 percent of people will be bullied on the Internet at some point, especially on social networking sites," he added.
Hood previously served as a clerk with the Mississippi Supreme Court, as an assistant attorney general, and as district attorney for the Third Judicial District in North Mississippi.
The chief civil and criminal legal officer and advisor in Mississippi told Boys State participants that while parents and teachers play an important role in advising on Internet-related issues and dangers, young people need to start relying on each other to help prevent crime.
"You are going to be the ones to decide what the public discourse will be and how you will treat one another on the Internet. You'll set those morals and standards," Hood said.
"We have found that young people communicating with other young people is the best way to get the message out there and to get young people to change their perspectives," he said. "We hope that as leaders in your schools, you will engage and listen to your colleagues."
Protecting technology and intellectual property is another major issue that will be of great importance to future generations.
Hood also reminded delegates to be especially wary when downloading music over the Internet.
"Mississippi has an inordinate amount of some of the world's best writers, actors and musicians, but the people who sing that music (or relay that content) aren't necessarily the ones who wrote it. The writers don't get paid unless our copyright laws are followed," he said.
"Even if you're just sharing and not selling it for profit, the music is still protected. If you're downloading music, I encourage you to go to iTunes or another system to pay for that music and contribute to those artists. That's important to our economy."
Hacking and 3D printing will change the way the United States operates, Hood said.
"Perhaps 3D printing will be as effective in making change in our country as the Internet itself has made in just your lifetime," he told the delegates.
Hood commended the Boys State program for its role in educating young people on how government works, developing leadership skills and nurturing an appreciation for the rights and responsibilities of citizenship.
In encouraging Boys State participants to consider working in public office, Hood emphasized the importance of keeping an open mind while talking about his personal history.
"My dad was a county prosecutor when I was young, so it's in my blood, but I never really intended to get into prosecution. I thought I was going to be an oil and gas lawyer, but the good Lord didn't have that in his plans for me.
"Don't just think right now that you know what you're going to do in life," Hood said. "Many of you are probably thinking more about making a lot of money, but it's not all about making money. You will be able to protect and help people on a broader basis. We need people who want to help others."
Mississippi State is serving through 2015 as host campus for Mississippi American Legion Boys State.

Moebius' artwork
Comics artist Jean Giraud, aka Moebius, died earlier today (perhaps Friday night) of cancer. He was 73.
According to the Los Angeles Times obit, the Parisian-born Giraud was admired by an eclectic group of famous people, including Hayao Miyazaki, Federico Fellini, George Lucas, Rick Carter, James Cameron, Paulo Coelho, Stan Lee, and Ridley Scott.
Moebius helped to create the look of Scott's sci-fi/horror classic Alien, in addition to Steven Lisberger's TRON, Ron Howard's Willow (based on a story by George Lucas), James Cameron's The Abyss, and Luc Besson's The Fifth Element.
Upon announcing Giraud's death, his publishing house, Dargaud, said the comics world had lost "one of its greatest masters."
Steven Lisberger concurred, telling the Times, "It's one thing to be talented and work hard enough to put your spirit and soul in your work, and it's a totally other thing to have a spirit and soul that is so beautiful and wise that it deserves to be put into art." Giraud, Lisberger added, was "a very rare man, a true master, and his life's work is a masterpiece."

Understanding the proper reasons for the termination of employment can be difficult to comprehend. The California laws that surround the wrongful termination of an employee can take on different meanings depending on the terms of an employment contract. However, if there are grounds to question the termination of employment, a suit may be filed to seek damages for the employer's wrongful act.
Two teachers who were fired from a private religious school have filed an action in state court after their employment was terminated by the school. The teachers claim that their termination was due to them refusing to sign an employment contract that required them to provide proof of their religious beliefs. The school initially filed a suit against the teachers prior to the teachers filing suit, but the school's suit was dismissed.
The judge in his order dismissing the case also required the school's attorney to pay the teacher's attorneys' fees. The judge stated that this would serve as an appropriate sanction for filing what he determined was a baseless claim. The school has stated that they intend to appeal the judge's order.
If an individual is fired without just cause, they may have a basis to look into the filing of a wrongful termination suit. However, before such action is taken, thorough research into the employer and employee's rights may need to be undertaken. This research could include analyzing an employment contract and the company's policies and procedures, which could spell out when employment termination is justified and when it violates California law.

RECENT rumours of my assassination are somewhat exaggerated. It will not be the first time my demise has been conspired on by other men. As with the first and second I was asked by many if I thought Nigeria was worth dying for. Even as clear as it was that I was not a masochist, my response was in the affirmative. The new form of the old question has been: why are you running for President in a country where the value of human life and the dignity of the human person is so low in the eyes of the power elite that the first reaction to their inability to engage on issues is to seek the death of an opponent? Some paraphrase by asking if Nigeria was worth dying for enough to abandon your comfort zone and risk so much. Without seeming to fly the flag or wave the patriots banner, my answer today remains as before. Yes, Nigeria is worth dying for; and, fear not those who can harm the body but cannot harm the soul.
This indeed was my reaction to newspaper reports of plans to physically eliminate some political actors including me. In a season that has experienced so many killings of political figures with no successful prosecutions it would be unfortunate not to reflect on the issue, especially as some consider private armies part of the equipment for seeking to be elected into public office. Private armies, as the state in some States, already indicate, may be the nuclei of tomorrow's warlords as in Somalia.
Following recent revelations by security agency leaders that top government officials were behind some of the politically inspired murders, the questions about the state of Law and Order, our Social Contract, and whether free and fair elections are possible in Nigeria in 2007, have risen to the top of the agenda of Nigeria watchers. Indeed these issues top the worries of Nigerians in the Diaspora who have been raising it with me as I travel through Europe and North America . One very upset Nigerian in the US in fact wondered if we should not be getting ready to try many of our leaders at the State and Federal level before international criminal courts as with the Charles Taylor experience. He found general agreement that many would be found guilty of murders but also of economic genocide against the people given how they abused the public treasury.
But why does violence persist? Really, what does it mean that violence defines our effort to determine what ordinarily should be our path to the Common Good. If what we have be democracy, that process should be about creating a market place of ideas which those voted for by the majority can draw on to provide pathways of light, away from the darkness past. I have always been a true believer in democracy and have, as the proverbial citizen of the Greek City-State strived to contribute ideas and to even serve with little thought to self gain. You may ask Lagos State Governor Bola Tinubu who has used the word and meaning of the archetypal citizen to refer to me several times in the past in acknowledgement of my contribution to the efforts of his government.
As Femi Falana noted while making remarks at a Concerned Professionals event marking my recent birthday, my engagement in the public sphere has been essentially on issues. I have usually kept away from discussions of persons, despising none, and careful to recognise that the positions people take on issues do not necessarily make them good or bad people. Even when people have gone the ad hominem path, in response to my discussions, by attacking my person, I have usually either ignored the comments or struggled to embrace maximum charity in joining issues. Remarkably, though, this disposition has not prevented some people in the power game from feeling threatened enough by ideas I am associated with to find 'solutions' to differing viewpoints, in plotting my demise.
Since the ideas I have always advanced deal with extending the Common Good, Social Harmony, and Good Governance, I have always wondered if it is that these people so despise the good of all. Some have told me that it is because my ideas bring light to the possibilities if power was not abused the way many who wield it in our body politic have carried on. That threatens their very well being. Yet I am unable to come to an understanding of the view of man in society in which even that makes something as sacred as human life fair game even with no personal provocation.
It does define the crises of being in Nigeria, this treatment of God's ultimate gift with a slight of the hand. In many ways it also locates us on the continuum of human progress because you can measure the advance of a society by the kind of premium they place on human life. In some ways it also shows where Nigeria may be heading if the people do not rise and reclaim their country from their tormentors who masquerade as leaders. The doomsday prophesy of many a scenario planners about what has been called the fallen house of Nigeria may indeed prove more cataclysmic if nothing is done to stop the spate of political assassinations and bring to justice some who are responsible for the high profile political killings that have polluted this political season. But I remain optimistic and persuaded that what we will live out will be a Nigerian transformation that will come to be celebrated as the ultimate triumph of the human spirit.
This triumph will come from more than just wishes that put beggars on horses. They will involve a mass movement for a values re-orientation, an ethical revolution that will see human life assume a high pedestal and the dignity of the human person assumes the centre place in the making of public choice and the private conduct of people in public life. Beyond the basic natural instinct for self preservation, my concern regarding recent speculation that I may have again made the list of targets of state terror or political killing, has been its effect on the trend to abandoning the public arena to thugs and scoundrels. At the personal level, I have said that standing up for my conscience is so important that if martyrdom be permitted by God it should be managed with dignity rather than abdicate duty to our shared heritage.
I have, in truth, said that if we had assurances that our blood would cleanse this land and guarantee all a future of peace and prosperity it should be gratifying to make that kind of sacrifice. Certainly if the killings of Funso Williams in Lagos, Daramola in Ekiti and others elsewhere as in Plateau were to have the intended effect of frightening off political contenders we can assume that the trouble of Nigeria's failed promise will further traumatize a new generation already quite uncertain about the future. Given how grave these consequences are we must act with the seriousness that recognizes that the road to Somalia started to be travelled in this way. Democracy demands that we learn to keep contestations at the level of ideas. To fail to come to terms with the end game here may be to risk the very democracy that we paid so dear a price to have. We can not afford to lose this priceless possession.
RECENT rumours of my assassination are somewhat exaggerated. It will not be the first time my demise has been conspired on by other men. As with the first and second I was asked by many if I thought Nigeria was worth dying for. Even as clear as it was that I was not a masochist, my response was in the affirmative.

It is sad that our Leaders have resorted to cannibalism as a means of fighting opposition. Instead of coming up with a plan for positive and lasting change in Nigeria or at least trying to prove to us that they are worth our vote, all we have is blood shed and more blood shed. Surely the wicked will not go unpunished. The law of retribution will definitely catch up with all those that have killed and are still killing people in the quest to remain in power. To the likes of Pat Utomi who have risen to the challenge of saving Nigeria from blood thirsty and incompetent leaders, I say keep up the good work and fight to the finish. We are strongly behind you.

The first time I saw your name on a Nigerian website mentioning that you are seeking the office of President of Nigeria, I responded with a question, ".... Who is Pat.....? I never heard of him. Could someone please tell me more about this guy......". I have since been reading something about you but honestly I still do NOT know who you are. Never heard of you before but it is alright with me.
I read of Williams and Daramola murders, yet never heard any rumor(s) about your assissination ("attempt", I guess). Whatever be the case, I woud like to advise you to be very careful in that dark jungle named by Luggard's wife ("Mrs. Haggardwoman"). On a second thought, "nigeria" ( assuming it is a word) must have been a white woman's witchcraft spell that she put on the haphazzardly joined together land and people. Nigeria is only worth dying for if and when it is progressive, peaceful, united and clean of corruption,...... as it's motto says "Unity, Progress and Peace".
By the way what subject is your professorship on? Where and how did you accumulate your money? Was it an inheritance? Moreso, now that you have so much excess to spend on campaigning in the jungle of Africa. I hope your children are not close to that pitiful country, if they are there now, please get them out to USA, UK, France, Germany, or any where of your choice. I understand that is the way of the politicians in Nigeria.
As for you, be extremely careful. Watch your back, sides, front, up and below. I was told that there are murders all over the country ---- local and imported. Though I still do not know you from Adam, I pray that you do not get hurt, maimed or wasted. If all fails, atleast the ountry can still use your knowledge as a professor (in whatever field you have mastered). Remember that you are contesting with mostly outright illitrates who due to intellectual (in)capabilities joined the uniformed armed robbers and ended up ruling the land and people.
Innocent Nigerians are generally full of fear ---- fear of guns, fear of juju, fear of title, fear of ...... Since you have boldly said that Nigeria is worth dying for, maybe those living in fear can now have confidence to fight corrupt leaders, provided you win the election. Take it easy brother professor. I will keep you in my prayers. Good luck!

Pat- Just a few cabals---and they indeed depise the good of all---anarchically selfish
That is why we are still backward----no value for human life--when people die nowadays,some ask the question---na which one concern me?--they are not from my tribe/ethnic group?, blah blah blah.
No Worries Pat, we shall yet again overcome all that the Terror bridge have set it motion to intimidate geniune service and aspirants. That does not mean that you should not take adequate measures to protect youself. And this moment and season of wickedness shall also pass.
No assurance yet that the blood of any man, talk less of a Nigerian or those already slain or yet to be slain for that matter will cleanse and guarantee us a future of peace and prosperity. The shedding of such blood is a curse on the land and it's people. All the souls that we have sacrificed in times of wickedness and foolishness are crying for justice. Except we repent of our evil and wicked ways individually, and collectively, deliverance from the past will elude us.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Leadoff hitter Brad Miller homered twice to help the Seattle Mariners send the Tampa Bay Rays to their sixth straight loss with a 5-4 victory on Tuesday night.
Miller has four home runs this season, which have come in a pair of two-homer games. He connected for his first two big league homers on July 19 at Houston.
Tampa Bay also got two homers from its leadoff hitter, Ben Zobrist.
According to the Rays, it is just the third time since 1916, when records are available, that both leadoff hitters had multihomer games. The others were June 5, 1994 (Minnesota's Chuck Knoblauch and Tony Phillips of Detroit) and July 8, 1965 (Houston's Joe Morgan and Felipe Alou of the Milwaukee Braves).

16,000 visitors, 78 teams, 192 matches, Africa's biggest beer tent, 5 huge bands, 2 amazing charities and one massive party – the numbers speak for themselves! But we also commissioned our most comprehensive participant survey ever, and it's clear that people care and have a passion for the event!!

Some comments and suggestions (answers exactly as supplied…spelling and all!)
What was your single best memory, best highlight or most positive experience of the Cape Town Tens?
The comradery !
Generally the good vibe!
I think the jersey makes the tens very special. It is like a souveneer.
Extremely important as the kit will be kept for years to come – happy memories and a momento for which the players have worked hard for
I love Cape Town and the Cape Town Tens, i think you guys that run it are doing a great job. i will, as always continue to help you spread the good word and getthe best possible players to help promote it for you.
Definitely the vibe, it was great!!
The buzz/ party / vibe / gees that was there. It was great!!
Bringing together of so many like minded individuals into one vibrant, positive, festive environment! Guys still love playing rugby and competing – important to have taht competitive side, even in the beer leagues.
All of it. My February gets planned around it as it is an event now I dont want to miss.
Must be the party hey, 3 factors that always make a winning combination – rugby, beer and mates.
The beer tent and light years were awesome, the band that played on friday night were monumental too!
The whole organisation across the board, from physios to live music, was just such a well run event
playing rugby with old mates
Too many to mention, Saturday night is amazing!
Comaraderie on and off the field
Almost, almost scoring a try!
honestly, that guy hitting the upright and claiming the cross bar to win the game! loved it!
Drunken stories of what happened to team mates the night before
Hot girls = EXCELLENT; Best vibes and easyness about the whole event.
"Getting to meet a great bunch of new mates who were all brought together for the weekend. Great "gees"
"Lokking forward to next year"
Those Numzanes are always a good laugh! The whole weekend is just happy and fab!
good rugby and absolutely the most beautifull woman and party vibe ever
Seeing the who's who(legends) of the rugby world walking about .
Team camaraderie, fines meetings in the players only tent. Game against Bok legends.
It was nice that the legends and the Stormers playears interacted with the normal okes
To experience the team spirit of each team. The passion for the game and The fancy dress evening
Being able to mingle with ex-springboks and play against provincial players. Oh and the 3-tries I scored!
"Bob and Rob downing a beer with the team; Playing rugby after "retirement"
The dress up party & photo booth
The team spirit, and sportsmanship on and off the field.
Oh hell no the whole experience!!!! Its incredible.
The comraderie between the teams
The fact that it was well organised, there was good rugby, great weather and cold beer available.
The woman were the hotest things I have ever seen but I am scared I might forget them before next year, so maybe we should do 2 Cape Town 10′s per year
Their was no ugly girls. Well organised and I believe it will compete with the Hong Kong sevens from a party perspective shortly.
Die kids wat so lekker kon speel en die lekker kuier saammet die spanmaats en pelle
The parties at the beer tent!! Best weekend of my life!! Beer prices were perfect aswell..
The attitude of Staff in all the Medical Tents was brilliant
I play in the Vets categories and playing against the legends teams has been my favourite experience over the last 3 years. I get to play against guys that I have only ever watched on TV.
Worth mentioning is the medical care. Hurt my leg in our last game and the infield assistance, the doctor and the massage/strapping people were all great.
The awesome vibe that existed between opposing teams. A seriously good physio tent!
The amazingly beautifull girls, dont know where they all came from???
the organisation impresses us out of town bumpkins
The camaraderie of rugby players. just a great vibe amongst the players the whole weekend
the cameraderie and friendships renewed, just being there was great.
Fantastic spirit between all players. All I saw were smiles.
Great to play rugby with mates in a social environment against some old foes. The rugby was played in a great spirit. Haven't seen so many beautiful women in one place for a while.
Too many to name. from the time I landed to the time I left was a pretty cool moment. The cover band on the Saturday night was a highlight. Also if you could keep the weather that way every year that would be nice. Great vibe, pretty girls, music, beer, tons of laughs (tearing up here). And for a lot of big guys on high protein diets getting very drunk was good to not see fights every where.
Goodluck was a massive highlight, Beer tent was outstanding
Team gathering and fines meetings
Being able to sit in both the team area and tented bar area as a team. We could make a space for ourselves and pretty much do as we wanted. Within reason!
Viewing my NUMZANs Motivational Speech on You Tube…and getting to share the jacuzzi with 4 mermaids in skimpy bikinis!!!
"The whole vibe was incredible, no aggresion in the beer tent.
Everyone was there for the same purpose to play good rugby and to have a good time. feedback from our team was incredible, not one complaint."
I must confess – EVERYTHING! The vibe, the spirit, the atmosphere! Simply everything! Oh – and there is a little bit of rugger in between!
Everything!! Highlight of our year
The whole weekend was a highlight. But what stood out was there was no fighting, no brawling. Everyone just had a good time.
Most positive memory was the good quality of ref's this year.
there's too many! Friday opening party, meeting old friends from around SA, The chicks there are amazing, I felt safe for the duration of the tournament, nothing was stolen and i left my stuff everywhere. The MC i think actually made the wait between games enjoyable. Winning our quarter final in the Heavy beer plate division, furthest we have got so far. And doing it on the main field in front of the beer tent was a bonus!
Everything. Especially the UCT sport science team doing the strapping and massages. I wish I could give them better credit.
The commentator was hilarious
We won the Light Beer division!! On a more serious note, I think this was the best organized sporting event I've ever attended. The security and whole atmospehere was great -not even one off the field incident where blokes got stuck into each other! Things like that ussually makes an event unpleasant. The beer tent that closed at 00:00 is also a very good idea, we then just spill over to over watering holes, but at least the connectation with CT 10′s is positive! Oh and the fisio tent – excellent!!!!!
Seeing Scott Robertson do the Haka for the kids at the clinic
All round better fixture set up
Being able to walk around with a beer and not be restricted to a drinking only section.
Great vibe, good looking girls (have a miss wet tshirt next year please)
Partying with a lot of celebs, rugby and cricket players… The entire experience was awesome!
Fair prices at the bar!
getting the shit knocked out of my by Warren Brosnian
Unfortunately not the rugby…those girls in the Jaccuzis!
Had a great time and can't highlight one specific moment. Had a all round good time ! There were alot of talent ( girls ) ! The moment when that guy kicked the post to win to car was awesome !!!
Our rugby player in the chicken suit doing forward rolls after setting up a try! Priceless
Nothing comes to mind, purely beacuse every moment was a highlight….every moment an unbeliavble memory! Just seeing all the different teams drinking together and just celebrating the beauty of rugby was a positive experience!
Best memories are always hanging with the men in your team and slogging a few beers while laughing at the chirps. The single best highlight was, for me, is when Sir Mallet won the car with the perfect place kick. I'm married and not allowed to mention the female talent that was on display. Was someone turning the overweights away at the gate?
The girls are amazing!! I'm going to meet my wife next year..
I was injured last year for the 2011 CT10′s so personally it was great to get a run on with my mates for The Wally's!
Also, it was pretty awesome to see the Stormers & Cheetahs players attend on Saturday evening.
The amount of hot girls attending was terrific, But big up to you guys – The event was smoothly run with amazing features. Best jol on Fri + Sat – Perfect vibe created next to the main tent area. Well done.
"The lack of 'policing' – there was an easy going feeling to it, no one told me 'you can't do that'. The rugby itself was the most social i've experienced, with some teams shaking hands before and after the games. brilliant."
Shaking hands at the end of every game where almost everyone was genuine in there thank-yous- regardless of weather they won or lost!
Oh I know at 31 this is going to sound extremely sad but my pic with Bob Skinstad was kind of cool… (I know! But once a fan, always a fan!!) Oh and just by the way, the way you guys handled the parking, FANTASTIC – took us only a couple of minutes to find parking.
The cheapness of the beer, and the awesome vibe in the beer garden

Track: Five Qualify on Second Day at Penn State
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Following a strong start Friday, the WVU track and field team continued its successful indoor season Saturday as five Mountaineers qualified for BIG EAST on the second day of the Penn State National in State College, Pa.
Sprinter Brittany Wolford, distance runners Stephanie Aldea, Sarah Martinelli and Jordan Hamric and high jumper Katelyn Williams earned BIG EAST qualifying marks in their respective events at Penn State's Horace Ashenfelter III Indoor Track.
Wolford came in ninth place in the 500-meter dash in 1:16.95, clearing the 1:17.24 requirement to participate at the BIG EAST Championships in mid-February.
"What a great run for Brittany," Cleary says. "I'm very proud of her. It was her first ever BIG EAST qualifying mark. Her determination has paid off."
Competing in her first race of the year, junior Stephanie Aldea qualified with her second-place 1,000-meter finish in 2:53.29, meeting the 2:59 league standard for the event.
In the mile run, Martinelli and Hamric met the requirement of 5:08 with their respective 4:57.25 and 5:03.34 finishes. Martinelli placed first overall, while Hamric arrived in eighth place. Junior Lauren Moskal also competed in the race, finishing 13th in 5:23.07.
"Martinelli ran a great mile today," Cleary says. "This was a great mental breakthrough for her. In my opinion, this is but the tip of the iceberg for Hamric. It's nice to see her nail the BIG EAST time. It was a nice rust buster to start the year."
Williams qualified in the high jump by surpassing the 1.68 league mark with a jump of 1.70 meters Saturday, placing 7th in the field. Junior Sydney Cummings came in 14th place with a jump of 1.65 meters.
"Katelyn (Williams) looked much better this week," Cleary says. "We have been very patient with her offseason injury. I fully expect that she will be on top of her game in time for the BIG EAST.
"The pieces are falling into place for us. We're nowhere near where we need to be, but this weekend brought us closer than we were last week."
The Mountaineers compete next Saturday at the Sykes Sabock Challenge Cup for its third trip of the year to State College, Pa.

NEW YORK — Several retailers reported modest sales gains for September as shoppers who were worried about a partial government shutdown and the overall economy pulled back their spending from the prior month.
The results increase concerns about how shoppers will spend for the crucial holiday season, the largest shopping selling period for retailers.
Revenue at stores opened at least a year — a measure of a retailer's health— rose 2.0 percent in September, according to a tally of 10 retailers by the International Council of Shopping Centers. That was a slower pace than the 3.5 percent increase posted in August.
L Brands, the parent of Victoria's Secret, and Costco Wholesale Corp. were among the chains that reported results that missed Wall Street estimates, while Stein Mart Inc. posted results that beat analysts' expectations. Gap Inc., which operates its namesake chain, Old Navy and Banana Republic, reported a surprise, stalling a momentum it had enjoyed since early last year.
Only a sliver of retail chains report monthly sales figures, and the list doesn't include Wal-Mart Stores, Macy's Inc. and many other large chains. But it offers some clues into consumer spending heading into the holiday shopping season.
September was a difficult month. Warmer-than-usual weather hurt sales of sweaters and other fall clothes. But economic concerns also dampened sales.
Shoppers worry that the partial government shutdown, which is on its tenth day and has forced several hundred thousand federal workers off the job, will be prolonged. That, and the possibility that politicians won't resolve their deadlock over the federal debt limit before the U.S. Treasury's borrowing authority is exhausted next week, adds to the concerns.
But hope was rising that the deadlock will be resolved soon. Republican leaders said Thursday they would vote to extend the government's borrowing authority for six weeks. A spokesman for Obama said the president would "likely" sign a bill to increase the nation's ability to borrow money so it can continue paying its bills.
The worries from Washington had compounded challenges retailers have had in trying to get shoppers spending again. The job and housing markets are improving, but that hasn't yet translated into sustained spending increases among most shoppers.
——AP Wall Street reporter Ken Sweet contributed to this report in New York.

- Summary:
- Copper one penny mule token, minted by W.J. Taylor of London, circa 1880. Commissioned by Lipman Levy of Wellington, New Zealand. Born in London, Levy moved to Wellington in 1842 and opened a business importing and manufacturing shoes and grindery (tools for shoemakers and leatherworkers). Levy issued four varieties of tokens, three pennies and one halfpenny, which were issued between 1857 (when the first tokens were issued in New Zealand) and his death in 1880. The dies used to strike Levy's tokens remained in London and were used about 1880 to make mules, such as this one, with other token dies by W.J. Taylor.
Tokens were demonetised in New Zealand on March 25, 1897, however this mule shows no wear characteristic of circulation.

A common inherited disorder characterized by the excessive absorption and storage of iron in the body. A type of iron overload, hemochromatosis can cause damage to multiple tissues, including the joints, and may produce symptoms similar to those of arthritis.
Hemochromatosis occurs most commonly in Caucasians of Northern European descent. Although the condition is present from birth, its signs often do not appear until middle age. And although the gene for hemochromatosis occurs equally in both sexes, women are less likely to develop its clinical signs (and tend to develop them after menopause when they do), presumably because blood loss from menstruation inhibits the accumulation of iron.
Hemochromatosis can have many effects. The skin may take on a bronze color. Iron deposited in a joint may cause pain and damage the joint. Excess iron in the pancreas can cause diabetes. Excess iron in the heart can cause heart failure. Excess iron in the liver can cause liver dysfunction. Other possible symptoms include fatigue, abdominal pain, and impotence. Sometimes these symptoms are the first signs that a person has hemochromatosis. Unfortunately, doctors often fail to recognize hemochromatosis as their underlying cause.
Blood tests that measure the amount of iron stored in your body and the capacity of iron to bind to proteins in your blood are used to diagnose hemochromatosis. A liver biopsy, in which a small piece of the liver is cut off and examined for excess iron, can help diagnose people whose hemochromatosis is more advanced. There are also DNA tests, which look for mutations on the HFE gene, that can identify people at increased risk for hemochromatosis.
The standard treatment for hemochromatosis is regular bloodletting, known as phlebotomy, which reduces iron levels in the blood. People diagnosed with hemochromatosis undergo phlebotomy once or twice a week until the iron levels in their blood stabilize, and then a few times a year for the rest of their lives.
Treatment for hemochromatosis generally reduces the symptoms of the condition. Arthritis related to hemochromatosis, however, is an exception and does not usually improve when the hemochromatosis is treated.
Since hemochromatosis is often confused with osteoarthritis (OA), men younger than 60 who have symptoms of severe OA are advised to ask their doctor about being tested for hemochromatosis.
