As someone who's purchased expensive medicines online, I relish the convenience and deep discounts. My wife needs the meds to stave off a recurrence of cancer, so avoiding them is not an option.
Since the U.S. doesn't permit a widespread re-importation of medicine from countries that have negotiated huge discounts, though, I have no other choice than to shop online for the best price from a non-U.S. pharmacy.
How do I know that what we're getting isn't counterfeit? We try to deal with reliable vendors, although it helps to have an extra level of protection. There are a lot of fake drugs out there that are either diluted or contaminated.
Here's just a sampling of fake meds sold online that the US Food and Drug Administration has discovered and cracked down on:
* Alli
* Teva's Adderall
* Vicodin ES
* Tamiflu
* Viagra
* Avastin
* ExtenZe dietary supplements and various weight-loss products
* Phentermine

Land of the Falling Stars is one of our favorite books.
Imagine if Rhett were a Yankee!
Anyway, the synopsis is below, but you should love this one.
The cover is great too.
The synopsis: Penniless, her parents and brother dead, Sophia Whitfield struggles to save her beloved childhood home during the Civil War. Another bluecoat is staggering down the hill, but before Sophia allows him to rob and pilfer like the others, she shoots him. How is she to know it is Gavin, the dark knight of her youth, carrying secrets too horrific to imagine and a passion that ignites her deepest desires?
As Sophia gradually learns Gavin's secrets-and enjoys his talents in the bedroom-she discovers how to finally know her own heart. Can she save the Land of Falling Stars, or will she lose it all to the horrors of the War and Reconstruction? And will the Southern lady and the Yankee soldier be able to recapture the bliss of their youth - this time in each other's arms?

Symphonic Variations
Variations Reviews
Variations Performances
'Symphonic V' in Postings
'Symphonic Variations' was planned as the then Sadler's Wells Ballet's first creation after they moved to the Royal Opera House in 1946. It didn't quite work out like that, as the première had to be postponed to allow Michael Somes to recover from an injury, but it still stood for the company's taking possession of their new stage and the step up in their status and prestige. So what did Ashton do? From anyone else you'd expect a big celebration piece, getting the whole company on to demonstrate how they could fill the huge stage - an opera-scaled production for the Opera House. Not Ashton, though; he didn't conquer the stage by flooding it with a busy corps de ballet, but by staking it out with just 6 dancers to create a sublime masterpiece which also defines the essence of his style.
Thousands of words have been written about the origins of the piece. If you're interested there are pages about it in Julie Kavanagh's Ashton biography, giving all sorts of theories about spiritual, sexual, religious and all sorts of other influences - but you don't actually need to know any of this. There was originally a quite complicated scenario, which Ashton gradually simplified during the long rehearsal period until there was virtually nothing left. Many people, if pressed, would admit to seeing some vestige of a 'winter awakened by spring' idea; and Ashton once agreed with someone who said 'It's about the morning of the world' - but equally you can just see it as these people dancing to this music, and providing us with a glimpse of heaven.
The ballet grew from Ashton's love for the music - Cesar Frank's Symphonic Variations for Piano and Orchestra - and there is, again, much to be said about how he uses the music, particularly about the different ways in which the choreography responds to the piano and to the orchestra. But again, you don't need to know all this to appreciate how the dancing seems to grow out of the music, looking - like all great choreography - as if Ashton had discovered the steps rather than inventing them.
Sophie Fedorovitch's backcloth is the perfect setting, matching and enhancing Ashton's choreography in its simplicity and elimination of every unnecessary detail. She uses a light clear green with a dozen or so black lines; as William Chappell, himself a designer, described it 'She creates boundless space and controls it gently by the few dark graph lines'. Ashton and Fedorovitch were close friends and worked together often - 'Symphonic Variations' is the most perfect of their collaborations.
The first cast - Fonteyn, Shearer, May, Somes, Shaw and Danton - has been immortalised in some of the most famous and beautiful ballet photographs ever taken. Since the ballet lasts about 20 minutes and none of the dancers ever leaves the stage, it is a killer to dance - particularly as it must give the impression of perfect ease. There are stories of dancers lying sobbing on the floor at rehearsals, and subsequent generations have not found it any easier. The best replacements for the originals have been dancers notable for their musicality and line - Sibley, Park and Dowell not surprisingly outstanding. The main problems in casting today stem from the gradual loss of the Ashton tradition (if you want to know what the English line looked like, look at Bruce Sansom), and also from the fact that the ballet is now so famous and so surrounded by performance legend that dancers sometimes approach it with a mixture of fear and piety that makes it look more like a funeral wake than a celebration of youth and life. Properly cast it is a ballet that I could watch forever; one of the great landmarks of our dance history.

Noel Ottman '10 sits between statues of Sancho Panza and Don Quixote outside the home of Miguel Cervantes, near Madrid.
Fulbright Teaching Assistantship Sends Noel Ottman '10 Back to Spain
For Noel Ottman '10, Spain has become like a second home.
She studied abroad at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid in the spring of '09, and received a grant from the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship to conduct research for her senior thesis in the country's national archives. In addition, she has taken a class on contemporary Spain with Assistant Professor of Spanish Ana Lopez-Sanchez.
Next year, Ottman, a double major in history and Spanish and a Kafker Family Scholarship recipient, will return to Madrid with a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship. She'll teach in a secondary school bilingual program, and give presentations to her students about the United States and American culture.
Ottman has always been intrigued by Spain's history and identity as a part-European, part-Arabic country. "Being an English teaching assistant and a sort of cultural ambassador is particularly interesting to me, because at the moment Spain is becoming home to people from many different cultures, such as sub-Saharan Africa and Morocco," she says. "This is a time in Spain where fostering intercultural understanding is vital—even if I may be helping to build relations between America and Spain, I feel that in general challenging stereotypes and exposing young people to different cultural outlooks is important."
Besides teaching, Ottman would like to build on her past volunteer work with women's health issues. "This is a hot topic in Spain right now, as the morning-after pill was just recently allowed to be sold at pharmacies," she says. She also wants to continue her academic research at the country's archives, and explore Madrid's vibrant art scene.
In the future, Ottman would like to attend medical school or obtain a master's degree in public health, so she can provide care to U.S. immigrant populations. "But that all may change if I discover that I love teaching!" she says.

Recipe by CJA
"Very simple. I grew up in Iowa and I always thought these originated there. Serve on warm seeded buns."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
lean ground beef
1 (10.75 ounce) can
condensed chicken gumbo soup
Very Easy and very good. Great for a night when you're in a hurry!
I've used this BASE for my loosemeat sandwiches: If I'm in the mood for a sweeter, sloppy joe style - I'll add a little kechup, mustard, and brown sugar (all done by eyeballing it). If I'm in the mood for a little meatier version, I also add a cup of chicken stock & a TBLS of worch. sauce. Sometimes just buying a fancier bun will do the trick to this simple sandwich. Either way, the key is the can of chicken gumbo and very good - for a simple, can't find anything else in the pantry - meal. Goes great with potato salad.

Neither my husband nor I enjoyed these at all. I made them for 3 hardworking men for lunch and just because they ate them (very hungry) didn't mean they liked them. I wont make this again despite its ease. Maybe its because I'm not from Iowa.
I am originally from Iowa also and couldn't remember the condensed soup to use. I have eaten this since I was small and I love it!
this recipie was super easy, just make sure to season your ground beef real good before you add the soup.
I added onion to the ground beef and cooked it. Then I added the chicken gumbo soup and simmered for a few minutes. When I tasted it, though, I knew it needed the other ingredients in an old recipe I have had for years. My recipe included 1 1/2 T. each of mustard and ketchup. I serve it open face on toasted rolls or buns.
I'm from Iowa too and have eaten these for at least 40 years now - Always Absolutely Awesome!!! You might try adding a couple tablespoons of ketchup and a couple of teaspoons of yellow mustard after the soup - adds a real savory taste.
I, too, am from Iowa. For as long as I can remember, mom made what she called "Gumbo Burgers." I still make this recipe about once a month for my husband and two year old and they love it! I cook chopped onion with the ground beef and season it well. I also use one entire can of soup plus the chunks of another can. I also bake tater tots to go along side. The meat is also great on top of the tater tots!

GLENS FALLS - A high school teacher in Glens Falls is facing a harassment charge after he allegedly hit a female student on the rear end with a book and asked her to dance for him.
NewsChannel 13's media partners at the Post Star report 47-year-old Kennon Engelmann has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
The social studies teacher has been suspended and is now on paid leave.
The paper reports the 17-year-old has also obtained an order of protection against Engelmann.

When President Obama signed an executive order instructing federal agencies to disseminate more information online and open more channels for feedback, the media duly applauded while good-government groups breathed a sigh of relief. But agencies are already using social media; most just haven't been successful.
Bureaucratic inefficiency is partly to blame, as are a handful of outdated and inflexible laws. One of the most onerous and anachronistic, the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, requires the Office of Management and Budget to approve any government survey of 10 or more people, meaning a simple online customer satisfaction poll must submit to a months-long review process.
Still, the biggest problem facing most agencies isn't the trap of outdated regulations but the failure to attract an audience. Take the Commerce Department, which spent months negotiating a special end-user license agreement with YouTube and became one of the first federal agencies on the site last year.
Agencies have to recognize that the Web is no longer a fun afterthought, but a critical component for public interaction.
It was an achievement for the department to make it to YouTube, but its videos haven't taken off: Its channel has 14 videos and three subscribers. Its most popular? A seven-minute clip of then-Secretary Carlos Gutierrez speaking to the Manufacturing Council in July, with just over 100 hits. (Compare that with the roughly 500 views garnered by an amateur slide show about Oakland Technical High School's junior-varsity baseball team in California set to Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline.") Content experts suggest Commerce instead post how-to videos to help Americans apply for government loans or learn about helpful programs.
The Commerce Department has made considerable gains online and come up with other ways to interact with users, but even it isn't immune to the idea that the Internet is a dumping ground for existing content, no matter how ill-suited it might be for the Web.
"It doesn't make sense to be using Web 2.0 tools for the sake of using Web 2.0 tools," says Sheila Campbell, co-chair of the Federal Web Managers Council, which advises government techies on Web outreach. Of the Commerce Department's YouTube struggle, she adds, "that's something that agencies need to look at -- to make sure they're developing compelling videos that resonate with their target audiences."
Too many agencies using the micro-blogging site Twitter treat it like a "glorified RSS feed," says Mark Drapeau, a research fellow at the National Defense University and a government 2.0 consultant. By providing links to blog posts and press releases instead of developing a dialogue with the users "following" them, Web managers aren't grasping the difference between "new media" and "social media." The State Department may have more than 900 Twitter followers, but since it doesn't track anyone itself, there's no back-and-forth.
"Any of them can point to the numbers and say, 'We have 326 people following us, and that's 326 more than we had before,'" Drapeau argues. "You might as well not use the tools if you're not going to be social, because it can backfire on you if people think you don't get it."
Federal agencies are still struggling with outmoded tech bureaucracies, experts say, which need to be realigned to recognize that the Web is no longer a fun afterthought, but a critical component for public interaction.
It's difficult to improve government Web sites when they're viewed "as an IT project rather than as a core business function," reads a white paper [PDF] written in November for the Obama-Biden transition team by the Federal Web Managers Council.
The white paper also says the government maintains too many Web sites -- estimated at 24,000, though "no one knows the exact number" -- and that too few of those sites have a dedicated budget or editors in chief who focus on improving content. Changing all that will take money and time -- more time, government technology gurus say, than the 120 days that OMB and the administration's still-unnamed chief technology officer are given under Obama's order to formulate a federal Web strategy.
In the meantime, the General Services Administration's Office of Citizen Services and Communications is trying to bring federal, state and local Web managers up to speed with workshops on topics ranging from managing blog comments to crisis communication online.
Some agencies, like the Transportation Security Administration, are figuring out the Web on their own. Most Americans feel about as warmly toward airport screeners as they do the Internal Revenue Service, but the security agency is helping lead the way in public outreach online. The agency launched its Evolution of Security blog last January to explain the byzantine airport security system and offer tips for travelers.
"The day we launched, we had Blogger set up to e-mail our BlackBerries every time someone posted a comment," said TSA spokesman Christopher White. "We had 800 comments in the first 24 hours. We had to turn it off."
The TSA blog covers everything from the reasoning behind liquid bans to whether holiday travelers can transport pies (they can). Posts average 3,000 pageviews and 100 comments, according to the agency. Not surprisingly, many posters use the blog to vent ("Why is pie exempt from liquid and gel restrictions?... Is it because barring pies from flights would be pointless, stupid, and do nothing to make anyone safer? Neither do TSA's other liquid policies.") But simply having a valve for passenger angst can help dispel the image of a faceless -- and heartless -- bureaucracy.
The agency has also rolled out an internal Web site where employees submit ideas to improve security and customer service that are then voted on, with the most popular submitted to the TSA brass. A number of submissions from the "Idea Factory" have been pressed into service, White said, like an idea for a special basket to help urns go through X-ray machines.
Since most citizen-government interactions occur in the real world, half the battle for online success is offline. So government offices are expanding their real-world efforts to bring in Web visitors. The TSA advertises its blog at airport security lines with stickers that read "Got Feedback?" The District of Columbia lets homeowners apply for building permits online, but it's also set up computer terminals at Home Depot to reach the right people at the right time.
Not every agency should expect to attract sizable audiences, given the specialization of most government offices, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, says Micah Sifry, co-founder of the Personal Democracy Forum and the blog TechPresident.
"We don't really know what the effect is of reaching a couple hundred people if it's the right couple hundred people," he says. "If the government makes it easier to find obscure information, but the only 200 people in the country who need the information find it, that's good."
The federal government still has a long way to go, but given the steps it's taken so far -- and the growing demand for online civic interaction -- Sifry is optimistic.
"Right now you can point to some failures of some interesting experiments, but six months to a year from now things will be very different," he said. "And it's about time."

ALBANY, Ga. -- Three young local skaters performed well recently against the country's best competition. In fact, one of them was crowned national champion.
Tanner Watts, 10, Jayden Watts, 8, and William Morales, 14, team members of Albany-based GT Speed, recently competed in Fort Wayne, Ind., at the national indoor inline speed skating championships, according to Jason Watts, co-owner of Stardust Skate Center in Albany.
Morales captured second place overall in the freshman boys division by outracing 26 others in his class at various stages of the competition.
"There were three separate races: short, medium and long," Watts said. "Wil took first in the short race and second in the medium and long races. It was really close."
Watts said that during awards ceremonies for each category, the top three winners stood on three-tiered medal stands similar to those at the Olympics.
Tanner Watts, son of Jason and his Stardust co-owner/wife Cheryl Watts, took sixth place overall in the juvenile boys division.
Jayden Watts, Tanner Watts' younger sister, competed in the primary girls division and placed third overall.
Jayden also earned a share of a national championship when she finished first place in the primary 2 mixed competition, where girls and boys skate in relay. Because there was no appropriate partner within the team, Jayden raced with Dawson Cleland, a member of an Atlanta team, Watts said.
Also attending the seven-day national competition were GT Speed team members Brendan Farr, 14, and Olivia Farr, 9. The event was hosted by USA Roller Sports.
GT Speed is sponsored by Stardust Skate Center and coached by Jason and Cheryl Watts and Bubba Fells.
According to Watts, serious skaters practice all year long to prepare for the national competition. In order to qualify, teams and team members must belong to the USARS organization and be one of the top four competitors in the Southern Region championship.
The Southern Region comprises skate teams in Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama.

By Donna Miles and Army Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall Jr.American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 23, 2011 Emphasizing that bullying and hazing undermine everything the military stands for, the top U.S. military officer said every member of the armed forces has a personal responsibility to uphold its "zero tolerance" standard and intervene to stop any occurrences.
"We are currently investigating several allegations of hazing within our ranks," Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reported in a posting yesterday on his Facebook site and Twitter.
Dempsey posted his message after the Army brought charges this week against eight soldiers allegedly involved in the death of Army Pvt. Danny Chen. Chen, an infantryman deployed to southern Afghanistan with Company C, 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division, was found dead in a guard tower Oct. 3 from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
"These appear to be isolated instances of misconduct, but I want to be very clear: hazing is simply intolerable," Dempsey said in his message. "It undermines our values, tarnishes our profession and erodes the trust that bonds us.
"This cruel form of misconduct requires an audience to achieve its intended effect of humiliation," he noted. "Every service member should be aware that participating in hazing or even observing it without reporting it are both wrong. We are duty-bound to protect one another from hazing in any form."
Navy Capt. John Kirby, deputy assistant secretary of defense for media operations, expressed condolences to Chen's family during a Pentagon news conference earlier this week. "This is a tragic, tragic incident," he said.
Kirby declined to discuss the case, but underscored that bullying and hazing are never tolerated by service members.
"Any single case of hazing or inappropriate conduct to a fellow soldier, airman, Marine, sailor [or] Coast Guardsman is inappropriate and not acceptable," he said. "Zero is the right number.
"We treat each other with dignity and respect -- that's what this uniform requires," he added. "When we don't, there's a justice system in place to deal with it. And that's what we're seeing here in the case of Private Chen."
Kirby said hazing is not tolerated in the military and "if it's found and it's proven -- it's dealt with."
"This is something inculcated in our culture from the moment you join the service," he noted. "From the moment you raise your right hand through all your basic training and your first tours of duty, these notions are bred into you in the military.
"We treat each other with respect and dignity or we go home -- that's it," Kirby said pointedly. "The tolerance is absolutely zero and the system itself, because it works and works well, is in fact, a deterrent to future behavior."
Kirby noted there are still "miscreants" who want to defy military regulations, and reiterated "when it's found [and] proven, it's dealt with."
Kirby also cited "training mechanisms" in place throughout all the services designed to help curb these types of incidents.
"Whether you're an officer or enlisted, this is something bred into you when you come into the service," he said.
"Unfortunately, you're never going to be 100 percent perfect in this," Kirby said. "And there's going to be those few who want to flaunt what the uniform stands for and what the regulations require … when that happens they're going to be dealt with."

The opinions expressed in the following comments do not necessarily reflect those of the U.S. Department of Defense.
One way that the DoD can support its Soldiers is to exempt sexual assault counseling from disclosure on the security clearance forms. Attacking a serviceman or woman after they have been the victim of a crime is the worst sort of bullying. We should be protecting our own, as we are already protecting combat trauma victims.

Twelve Things You Can Do To Stop Bullying
FYI- never ever presume the schools ARE doing their jobs adequately. You must stay involved. Parents ALWAYS need to know what is going on to ensure the schools are doing what they are supposed to do. Kids usually will not report issues to school staff on their own and feel they have no power. If school officials don't notice something is going on, parents must step in. I have heard too many horror stories to believe otherwise.
Schools are under an obligation to take action when they know bullying or targeting is occurring. They may also punish the students involved (see California Education Code
Here are my best suggestions of what to do to get action from the school and stop the bullying

Using laser technology, two artists have created a new type of "temporary graffiti" -- light shows that use public places as canvasses for their laser art.
"While most graffiti crews use spray paint to mark buildings and urban infrastructure, Roth and Powderly, the artists behind the Graffiti Research Lab, have perfected a unique form of temporary high-tech graffiti they call laser tagging that utilizes a laser pointer in lieu of paint, a projector in place of a spray. Instead of hitting dark subway tunnels and back alleys, they turn their attention to public places such as skyscrapers and monuments. A growing legion of fans turn out regularly to witness live demonstrations of their light shows (see video of their latest graffiti missions), but most log on en masse to watch videos of the events on such sites as YouTube and GraffitiResearchLab.com. A few hundred have even downloaded the needed computer code and instructions - something the "open-source" artists encourage people to do - to replicate Powderly and Roth's art in cities around the world. As a result of their soaring online popularity, the two artists have been sought out by a number of prominent curators in the art world - most recently by those at the Museum of Modern Art in New York - who see in their digital etchings a convergence of street art, graffiti art and urban cinema."

Hurricane Katrina
Vincent Laforet/The New York Times
Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast with devastating force at daybreak on Aug. 29, 2005, pummeling a region that included the fabled city of New Orleans and heaping damage on neighboring Mississippi. In all, more than 1,700 people were killed and hundreds of thousands of others displaced.
Packing 145-mile-an-hour winds as it made landfall, the category 3 storm left more than a million people in three states without power and submerged highways even hundreds of miles from its center. The hurricane's storm surge — a 29-foot wall of water pushed ashore when the hurricane struck the Gulf Coast — was the highest ever measured in the United States. Levees failed in New Orleans, resulting in political and social upheavals that continued a half decade later.
Katrina ranks as one of the most punishing hurricanes ever to hit the United States. Damage, costing billions of dollars, has made it one of the costliest storms on record. In New Orleans, floodwaters from the breached levee rose to rooftops in the poorest neighborhood, and in many areas residents were rescued from roofs of homes that became uninhabitable. The hurricane's howling winds stripped 15-foot sections off the roof of the Superdome, where as many as 10,000 evacuees had taken shelter. An exodus of hundreds of thousands left the city, many becoming refugees, finding shelter with nearby relatives or restarting their lives in states as far away as Massachusetts and Utah.
Experts who studied the disaster say the hurricane was more like four storms — at least — that battered the area in different ways. They say the flood protection system in New Orleans was flawed from the start because the model storm it was designed to stop was simplistic, and led to an inadequate network of levees, flood walls, storm gates and pumps. And experts say that understanding the failings is essential in planning the next generation of flood protection for a rebuilt New Orleans, and for systems nationwide.
The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Michael D. Brown, was stripped of his post amid fears within the Bush administration that its delayed response to the disaster could do lasting damage to both President George W. Bush's power and his legacy. But more important to some members of the administration, it dented the administration's aura of competence. In the end, the federal government's response was seen as too little and too late.
In the wake of the storm, the region's grinding poverty, longstanding corruption and political ineptitude — particularly in the Big Easy — were exposed along with the inadequacies of federal, state and local agencies. Gradually, the region stabilized as aid was meted out and many of its residents returned.
Rulings on the Army Corps of Engineers
In November 2009, Judge Stanwood Duval Jr. of federal District Court ruled that poor maintenance of a major navigation channel, the Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet or MR-GO, by the Army Corps of Engineers led to some of the worst flooding after the hurricane. It was the first time that the government was held liable for any of the flooding that inundated the New Orleans area after Aug. 29, 2005, vindicating the long-held contention of many in the region that the flooding was far more than an act of God.
While the government is generally immune from flooding claims resulting from failures of flood control projects, Judge Duval ruled that damage related to the 76-mile channel was different because its purpose was navigation, not flood protection, even though it was lined with levees. The government appealed the decision, asking the full circuit to rehear the case.
In September 2012, the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that the government is immune from lawsuits for decisions made by the corps that might have left the MR-GO vulnerable.
"MR-GO's size and configuration greatly aggravated the storm's effects on the city and its environs," wrote Judge Jerry E. Smith, writing for a three-judge panel, adding that the federal tort claims act "completely insulates the government from liability."
In March, the same panel had ruled that the government was liable for some of the flooding, affirming the 2009 ruling by Judge Duval.
Flood Protection System Passes First Test
Seven years to the week after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans was hit by another potentially deadly storm. Isaac was a Category 1 hurricane that caused severe flooding through a wide area of Louisiana and Mississippi.
In New Orleans, though, the the $14.5 billion in levee defenses put in place since 2005 passed its first test. But a Category 1 storm with surges of 10 to 14 feet presented challenges less severe than the new ring of defenses were designed to meet.
Nearly Seven Years Later, Police Shooters Sentenced
On April 4, 2012, five former police officers were sentenced to lengthy prison terms in federal court in New Orleans for the shootings of six unarmed civilians, two of whom died, in the days after Hurricane Katrina, and for orchestrating a wide-ranging cover-up afterward.
The five former police officers were convicted in August 2011 on a range of counts including federal civil rights violations and lying to investigators.
On Sept. 4, 2005, as much of New Orleans still lay submerged in floodwaters, Kenneth Bowen and Robert Gisevius, then sergeants, and Anthony Villavaso and Robert Faulcon, then officers, jumped in a Budget rental truck and raced with other officers to the Danziger Bridge in eastern New Orleans, responding to a distress call on the police radio.
As soon as they arrived, witnesses at the trial said, they began firing on members of the Bartholomew family, who were trying to find a grocery store. A 17-year-old family friend named James Brisette was killed, and four others were severely wounded.
The police then began to chase two brothers, Lance and Ronald Madison, who was 40 years old and mentally disabled, who were trying to get to the other side of the bridge. Ronald Madison was shot in the back by Officer Faulcon and then stomped on by Sergeant Bowen as he lay dying.
A cover-up began immediately and eventually grew to include made-up witnesses and a planted handgun. Sgt. Arthur Kaufman, a veteran investigator, was charged with overseeing much of the cover-up. He was sentenced to six years.
The four who were involved in the actual shooting were sentenced to terms ranging from 38 to 65 years.

Escalating Atrocities in the Central African Republic
This 43-page report, based on weeks of field research in Ouham province, documents the surge in violence by Christian anti-balaka ("anti-machete") militias since September 2013. The anti-balaka have killed several hundred Muslims, burned their homes, and stolen their cattle. So-called ex-Seleka forces, former members of the predominantly Muslim rebel alliance that overthrew the government in March, retaliated against Christians with the apparent knowledge of their commanders.

World War I nurse and amateur sleuth Bess Crawford matches wits with a devious killer in this exciting and suspenseful adventure from New York Times bestselling author Charles Todd
In the spring of 1918, the Spanish flu epidemic spreads, killing millions of soldiers and civilians across the globe. Overwhelmed by the constant flow of wounded soldiers coming from the French front, battlefield nurse Bess Crawford must now contend with hundreds of influenza patients… (più)
The story is seamless in both style and pacing. Their research and knowledge of the setting also comes across fantastically.
How many wartime casualties and heroics from Bess does it take to exhaust a reader? Unfortunately, exactly this many, despite the author's fierce antiwar sentiments. Readers weary of Bess can take refuge in Todd's Ian Rutledge series (The Confession, 2012, etc.).

Lily finds Dusty in Old Town; he tells her about the meeting with Cheri. Lily tells him not to go! Instead, she asks Dusty to just drop it and stay away. She even offers to go with him to make sure nothing bad happens but he refuses, saying he'll handle it himself. Dusty leaves. He arrives at Cheri's room. She surprises him by apologizing for the tape and offering him a drink. Dusty reluctantly takes a drink. Cheri tells him she'll leave town - if he'll fund the trip! She asks for $50,000 and Dusty turns her down. Cheri tells him he'll come around. Dusty starts to get dizzy and then passes out! Dusty wakes when his phone starts to ring - and he sees Cheri on the floor in a pool of blood!
Alison arrives at work in her usual uniform and Vienna tells her to get rid of it! Allie fears she is being fired but Vienna tells her they just want her to wear something a little more modern. Allie runs for the back room. Henry catches up with Allie and apologizes for freaking her out about the changes. He asks her to stay on with them.

Seeing that there is no one to do the grunt work, Vienna dives into her new role as diner owners and begins helping customers. Turns out, she's not half-bad!
Holden finds Aaron at the farm working on his bike, wondering how he is. He says he didn't see the video but he heard about it. Instead of blaming whoever put the video on the 'Net, Holden blames Dusty - for laying a hand on Alison! Aaron actually defends Dusty, which annoys Holden.

A customer gives her a hard time and Sofie bursts into tears; Aaron rushes to her side. She tells Aaron about Gwen and Cole, saying she hoped that if Cole's career was going somewhere he would be happier about their baby.

Angry, Gwen tells her she won't get Barbara's money or the baby's money. She tells her about seeing Cole and orders Iris to back off - because she won't allow Iris to hurt her family again. Angry Gwen runs down Iris' crimes. Iris defends herself, saying she made Gwen strong. She even defends Cole wanting to use Gwen's connections. Then goes on to say she should help Cole because she has everything - including a rich mother-in-law! Angry, Gwen lashes out at her, telling Iris that they don't have money and she doesn't have any connections for Cole to use. She shows Iris to the door. Later, Alison comes by and asks to see Will. Will isn't there and Gwen kind of blows Alison off, still thinking of Iris. Allie decides to leave but before she can go, Gwen begins having abdominal pains!
In the plane on the way back to Oakdale, Paul tells Rosanna how he found out the truth about Johnny.

Craig gets a call from Rosanna's doctor and freaks out when the doc tells him that removing Rosanna from their care was a huge mistake. Before he can get more answers the phone connection cuts out! Meg wonders what the call was about but Craig won't tell her. Instead, he tells her they need to get out of town - right now! - to celebrate their marriage! Meg isn't sure about that but finally agrees to go, but insists on having dinner first. She leaves to get ready for dinner and they make plans to meet up and leave town in a few hours.

Russian flag carrier Aeroflot is preparing to dispose of some non-core assets as a source of cash.
The board of directors has proposed offloading Aeroflot's stakes in four companies as an initial step.
Alongside a 66% stake in duty-free retailer AeroFirst, the holdings include part of packing specialist AM-Terminal and Transport Clearing Chamber, as well as wholly-owned tour operator Alt Raizer.
Aeroflot says it will put these interests up for sale by the end of 2013, estimating that its bottom line could appreciate by Rb900 million ($28 million) as a result.
Aeroflot has also decided to liquidate in-house freight forwarder Transnautic Aero, but it will keep its 9% stake in Sheremetyevo International airport until at least 2014.
The board says Aeroflot's financial, training and catering arms will be retained as legal entities within the group, citing their importance for the core airline business.

Willamette and Simpson Suspend Game in Top of 10th Inning Tied 4-4
REDDING, CALIF. -- The Willamette University and Simpson University (Calif.) baseball teams battled to a 4-4 deadlock after nine innings on Friday, Feb. 10 before the game was suspended in the top of 10th due to wet grounds. The field, which was wet at the start of the game, was in worse condition by the end of the first nine stanzas.
Willamette and Simpson will resume the game at 12 p.m. (PST) on Saturday, Feb. 11 in weather that is expected to be better than Friday. It is the season opener for Willamette and the ninth game of the year for Simpson.
After the suspended game is completed, the teams will play the previously scheduled doubleheader already set for Saturday afternoon. The Bearcats and Red Hawks are slated to conclude the four-game series on Sunday, Feb. 12, starting at 11 a.m. (PST).
Details from the first nine innings are not available at this time.

"You're FIRED!" Donald Trump makes it look easy on his reality television show, The Apprentice, but savvy employers understand that workplace terminations must be carefully planned and executed to reduce the potential for costly legal claims. For most employers, discharging an employee is difficult enough without the additional stress of a lawsuit for wrongful termination, discrimination, retaliation, or other claims under federal and state employment laws.
Employers too often subject themselves to unnecessary liability through hasty decision-making, inadequate investigations, or common misunderstandings of the legal protections afforded to employees. By following a few basic principles, however, employers can reduce the likelihood that successful claims stemming from terminations will be brought against their companies.
Before discharging an employee for misconduct or poor performance, consider taking the following steps to determine whether a lesser punishment might be appropriate.
For better or worse, letting an employee go is sometimes the only reasonable solution. While most states follow the "at will" employment doctrine, don't be fooled into believing that terminations are without risk. Before discharging an employee, ask yourself:
Does the employee have an employment contract? If so, have you reviewed it to see if your decision complies with its terms?
Is the employee involved in union activity or covered by a collective bargaining agreement?
Does the employee have a disability or medical condition? If so, have you offered the employee a reasonable accommodation or advised the employee of his or her rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)?
Will the termination violate a state law or public policy against discharging employees (e.g., discharging an employee for attending jury duty, filing a workers' compensation claim, or refusing to engage in an illegal act)?
Is there any inference of retaliation raised by the termination (i.e., has the employee recently filed a charge or otherwise complained of discrimination or harassment)?
This list is by no means exhaustive, but if you find yourself answering "yes" to any of these questions, you should stop and reconsider the decision to terminate.
Finally, remember that employees are owed certain obligations even after their employment ends. For instance, under the Virginia Wage Payment Act, a discharged employee's final paycheck must be issued no later than the next regularly scheduled pay date. Employers must also ensure that applicable continuation coverage notices as required by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) are issued in a timely manner. In addition, courts have recognized that retaliation can occur even though the employment relationship has ended.
In conclusion, no employer is immune from claims related to a termination, but following the above guidance and working closely with your human resources department or legal counsel can greatly reduce your company's exposure to potential claims.
A version of this post was published as an article in the Winter/Spring 2014 issue of Virginia Human Resources Today.

Unfortunately, eyebrows, like all the rest of the hair on your body, do not do well when promoted with medications, lotions or other concoctions. In most cases, you will find these products may not work even if they are promising it. The fact is that all of the hair on your body is in what is called a growth cycle. Over the course of a few years, all of the hair will fall out and be replaced without you even noticing it. What's more is that hair at various parts of your body grows and stops at specific lengths like your eyebrows. Unfortunately, we can not control how the eyebrows growth or how fast they grow.
Just get a little angled brush and a eyeshadow close to the color of your eyebrows and fill it in( they also sell eyebrow powder if you're willing to spend the extra money) it won't rub off like pencil.
Go to the store and buy one of those eyebrow growth products, it wont work overnight but eventually you will get your eyebrows back, in the meantime use and eyebrow pencil to cover up the bald spot, no one will know.
Eyebrow hair growth also varies from one person to the next. Your diet and your age can play a role in the growth rate to a certain length. In the winter, your hair may grow faster than in the hotter months. Yet, when it comes to regrowing hair, there may not be a solution that makes hair grow faster or better.
Eyebrows, eyelashes, and other hair grows at a set rate and you cannot 'speed up' any more than you can 'grow taller faster'. Genetics determines it. Eyebrow hair grows at an average rate of 0.16 mm per day to an average length of 10 mm. That means that if you have had all your eyebrow hair shaved off, it will take about 63 days for it to grow back completely. Until then get a magic marker and draw them on or some fake glue-on eyebrows.
Actually the only thing that has great reviews for brow growth is brow potion. Check out their reviews online.Try the brow potion it will help in your case and you will probably see results in just a few weeks. Plus it takes about 8-10 min to do a great job drawing in your brows daily and it can get time consuming! You do not want to keep drawing in your brows on. One day you look surprised, the next you look sad, the next you look mad.
Read: How to Make Painted and Fake Eyebrows
You should use castor oil. You can research on Google, it helps thicken and grow hair you can use it for your eyelashes, eyebrows or scalp. It really works.
When a person has eyebrows threaded for the first time, they should need doing every 3 weeks. They won't grow back fully in a month, but the hairs will be growing. Tidied up, not thin, so all they have done is remove the stray ones. It will probably take longer than 4 weeks for them to grow back full. Next time, just ask for a tidy up.

I have almost 1500 posts here. My clicks on your articles has provided a significant source of income for your website. The fact that you deleted my posts and the posts of the other gentleman who responded to Aletheia means that I will remove your site from my favorites list, and move on.
I heard it. I work for automotive suppliers. We should find a way to tap into the informal communication systems within the state to give us a 'leg up' in recruiting new companies.
In the inner cities, people are given rewards for providing information that leads to a conviction. Why not provide incentives for information that leads to new plants and more jobs in Michigan? It is a great untapped resource.
Blacks kill whites every year at double the rate that whites kill blacks. But we are still inundated with stories talking about blacks as victims. Never do I read about LBJ. LBJ stands for lone black juror. Often blacks don't bother to show up for jury duty so you end up with just one black juror. Of course, no one writes stories about the long black juror.
It was LBJ, a stewardess from Delta that got Sam Riddle off on charges of bribery that he was found guilty in a retrial.
The most onerous case of LBJ was a beautiful, 19 year old girl from Clarkston who recently became night manager for a restaurant in Southfield. The evidence was clear that young gangbanger from Detroiter had put a bullet in her head and killed her. They had the testimony of several earlier robbery victims that night, film of him getting out of his car with a gun to go to her car and one of people in his car testified against him. LBJ got him off.
I wasn't born in this country but I am constantly amazed at the level of abuse that is directed at the largely silent majority in this country from a minority group that is handed everything through government programs and special treatment in the marketplace. I feel sorry for you people. Why do you put up with it?
Or going around to old folk's homes to get people who's are no longer with it to vote Democrat. However, one word best describes how to get the vote out in Detroit: cheeseburgers.
Really? You are old enough to remember Jake Wood. I thought by the content of your postings, you were about 13 years old!
It's simple. The state is giving $3.5 million in tax abatements for $60 million in investment and 450 jobs.
With the film industry, the givebacks were ridiculously high. Basically the state had agreed to cover 40% of their costs of making the film. This wasn't just a tax abatement - this was paying for almost half of the film costs. I don't know how Granholm justified that level of giveback but there is no way the state was going to get it back.
Ironically, while we were posting, an article came up announcing a new auto supplier plant with 450 jobs for Wayne County. In the picture, we can see Governor Snyder talking to the CEO in Germany when he went there last month.
Granholm made those trips too but she didn't seem to get results. Like I said a few hours ago (above), I like Governor Snyder's focus on making Michigan attractive to business because this state needs the jobs.
Congratulations, Governor. I assume that you visited this company on your trip to Germany during the consent agreement negotiations. Another German company that is building a new plant in the United States is Bleistahl Produktions Gmbh, and might consider Michigan if you visit them on your next trip.
Your visits seem to be much more productive that when Governor Granholm went to Europe. Keep em coming.
The answer is yes.
At the state level, and with many city governments, there has been too much entitlements and not enough focus on diversifying our economy.
Federally, I learned about a measurement of income disparity, the GINI Index on the CIA website ( www.cia.gov). With the GINI measurement, 0 is perfect equality and 100 is perfect inequality where one person has all the money.
In the last 35 years, we have gone from a measurement of 35 to 45. We left a group that includes Canada, Japan and almost all of Europe in 1980 and joined a small group including China and Mexico today. We were the only developed economy that went from the 30's to the 40's. Here's the chart that shows it most effectively: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gini_since_WWII.svg
Other data shows that almost all the new wealth created in this country since that time has gone to the one per cent. That's what is moving the GINI index. Is that what we wanted to do back in 1980 when we elected a Republican? I don't know about you but I for one was hoping the middle class would be able to enjoy some of that growth too.
Not everyone wants to join the partisan death march. In some cases, people have quit thinking and have bought the party line, hook, line and sinker.
In a state ruined by Democrat entitlements, we need to attract business and jobs and put people back to work. Snyder has made that task his Job One.
In a country that federally has gone so far to the right that the distribution of wealth measurements spanning the last 35 years show that we have gone from the group that includes Canada, Japan and most European countries to wealth distribution measurements similar to new capitalist countries emerging from poverty like China, Russia and Brazil. That's not where America belongs.
And I don't like having an effective tax rate that is twice as high as the wealthiest people in the country. That's just not fair.
I am amazed at how many people in this country support the party that gives them the worst deal. They are just not educated enough.
Since teacher compensation is by far the greatest on-going cost, I would ensure that teachers are paid based on improvements in test scores and by independent evaluations. Top performing teachers would make twice as much as the laggards at the bottom.
There would be no unions - these people have university degrees. Administrators would also be compensated based on test scores.
I hope they have a state of the art security system.
I didn't think Chrysler would make it. GM had a pretty good stable of cars coming out of bankruptcy but Chrysler needed to improve quality and develop new offerings in most market categories. Marchionne and Chrysler just tightened their belts and did what they could with whatever dollars were available.
Now with the new Dodge Dart looking like a winner, Chrysler looks like they are on solid footing. During the crisis, Marchionne sold Rattner on the engine technology that Chrysler would get from Fiat. What Chrysler really got was Marchionne.
So far I like what I see from Snyder. He reminds me of Marchionne because he moves quickly and decisively. But it's early. Federally, I support Obama. He seems more in tune with what the average American wants: a respite from wars, regulation on Wall Street and fair taxation for the wealthy.
Good legislation, Debbie. Other countries work hand in glove with business to ensure the people have jobs. America seems to have forgotten what is important. I can't imagine anyone from either party not supporting this legislation unless pure partisanship wins again.
How is it that Reggie can turnover furniture and knock computer equipment to the ground and not get charged? We work hard and pay taxes to pay for that equipment. You can't let some looney walk in and destroy it!
Fire Leyland? His job is to get the team to play to its capabilities. His job is not to be liked by the players. We have two out of thirteen position players playing at or above expectations: Jackson and Dirks. That's not good performance.
One of the problems with these cities, the reason they can't stand on their own two feet is because they chase away investment money. This idiot Minister is doing it in this article. He is playing the familiar "neighborhoods vs. downtown" tune. These clowns let people with money know they are not wanted then they wonder why they are always poor.
The businesses that invest in downtown Flint create jobs and pay taxes. They bring people into the downtown who spend money at other businesses creating even more jobs and taxes. These investors don't need Flint. They can locate in any city where they are welcomed with open arms. Flint needs more businesses investing in its downtown, not less. Stupid is as stupid does.
I agree. There are definitely some radicals here.
Our favorite poverty pimp is at it again. He wants a rally to protest the unequal allocation of federal funds. Huh? If Jackson really cared about the poor getting federal funds, he'd be down in Detroit taking the city to task over their inability to hand out federal monies.
One federal program offered to install insulation in homes of poor people to lower their heating bills. It didn't get spent. Another program assigned monies to buy interview clothes for poor people. It never got off the ground. But you won't see Jackson complaining about people who share his African heritage even when they are sitting on poor people's money and are too lazy to get off their duffs and identify needy individuals.
The fact that Sharpton and Jackson are getting old with no younger people coming along to replace them shows that they are relics of the past, holdovers, outliving their usefulness but not knowing how to do anything else so they just keep on with their tired old act.
They say that old journalists never die. The same goes for poverty pimps.
So many times, better hitting goes with a better eye at the plate. The average goes up along with the number of walks, as it has with Jackson. Young is struggling and you can see him reaching for bad pitches. When Boesch was struggling, you could see him swinging at the first pitch anywhere near the plate.
The first sign that a hitter is coming around is his ability to have a tough at-bat, grinding it out. When he is taking close pitches that are balls and fouling off good strikes to finally earn a walk like Peralta did yesterday, you know they are coming around.
You know they are deep in a slump when they are swinging at bad pitches, and taking good pitches for strikes. And they want to pull everything. Sort of like Raburn looks.

But it certainly was a step in the right direction for Mississippi State. Russell replaced Chris Relf, a 19-game starter, and completed 11 of 29 passes for a touchdown with two interceptions in a 14-12 loss to No. 15 South Carolina on Saturday.
