SayUncle mentionsa href="http://www.saysuncle.com/archives/2007/11/21/a_couple_of_firsts_for_me/" a couple of firsts /a he experienced this week; one was listening to our a href="http://drhelen.blogspot.com/2007/11/podcast-robert-levy-on-second-amendment.html"podcas/at on the Second Amendment with Bob Levy and the other was going to the local Greyhound station in Knoxville. The latter first is amazing to me, given that in the earlier part of my life, I spent a great deal of time at the Greyhound bus station going various places and can't imagine never having spend even one day at the local bus terminal. A trip at nineteen was the most memorable bus ride I can remember. I rode back from San Francisco to Knoxville on a Greyhound bus and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. br /br /The ride was three days long and I sat next to a woman eating fried chicken for a day and a half. She made no qualms about taking up part of my seat and I sat slumped to one side for most of the ride trying to sleep in the middle of the night. I spent a day just going through Texas and have no fond memories of the place–you will understand this if you have experienced the seamy side of small towns on a bus for days at a time. I was traveling with a friend but the bus was packed and we could not get a seat together. At one point on the trip, people were standing in the aisle and had no seats. This led to some pretty grumpy behavior that soon turned ugly. br /br /The driver stopped at one Texas town and told everyone to get off to eat and that we had only 45 minutes. "If you are not back on the bus, I'm leaving without you," he groused. The passengers herded off like cattle and went to find a fast food place for lunch. My friend and I got some food and got back on the bus, fearful that we would be left behind. At exactly 45 minutes to the second, the bus driver pulled out to the dismay of several passengers whose comrads had not come back to the bus. The driver took off and the passengers became irate and started accusing the driver of being prejudiced–the passengers he left were black and the driver was white. One passenger then stated that he was hijacking the bus, pulled a knife and starting yelling at those of us who were seated. My friend and I had been through such hell on that bus at that point that we looked up with boredom and tried to go back to sleep. The driver pulled into a police station that was nearby and the "hijacker" was taken off the bus and our ride continued. After this experience, I swore I would never ride a bus again, but I did and had a number of other adventures that I will not bore you with. br /br /My bus riding days are pretty much over, and I doubt that I will ride a Greyhound again, but after my last airplane flight, I can honestly say that I can't really tell the differece between an airplane and a bus with wings.

Week 44 in Progress
Over 130,000 votes have been cast in the weekly PAJAMAS MEDIA PRESIDENTIAL STRAW POLL. The thirty-ninth week has officially begun.
NEW DEAL: PJ Media editors have noted that the number of weekly votes in our poll has diminished drastically from the tens of thousands cast at the outset. For months now, many readers have been complaining to us about the increasing inutility of the poll because of vote-swarming by second tier candidates. Many voters have lost interest and are not participating. Websites that had run our widget were no longer doing so.
Something needed to change.
Therefore, especially since the campaign itself appears to be narrowing its focus to front-running candidates, henceforth the PJ Media Poll will be restricted to those first tier candidates listed on the front poll page of the leading online poll aggregator Real Clear Politics. As of now, that is four candidates on the Democratic side and six on the Republican. We will change our lineup on the Sunday after RCP does, if it does.
DON'T FORGET: You can put the poll on your website or blog with our free voting widget and become a precinct in the PJ Media Straw Poll. Learn how the readers of your site are voting and compare it the the total.

Who Lost Pakistan?
For decades after the 1949 triumph of communist forces in the Middle Kingdom, a question haunted American politics: "Who Lost China?" Pakistan has been a U.S. ally since the mid-1970s and an imperfect democracy since the 1940s, writes PJM Xpress blogger Richard Miniter, and all presidents from Carter onward have tried to nurture its imperfect democracy. Now Pakistan seemed poised on the verge of civil war-and, if chaos comes, the Bush Administration will have no one to blame to itself.

Things I Learned in Yale
Okay, in emYale Alumni Magazine/em, that is. a href="http://instapundit.com/"Glenn/a is an alumni of the law school and yesterday, while rather bored, I picked up the magazine and thumbed through it. Here is what I learned. First, most doctors a href="http://www.yalealumnimagazine.com/issues/current/findings.html"can't do stats/a:br /br /blockquoteAlmost every medical school student takes a course or two in biostatistics to learn how to understand research data. But Donna Windish, an assistant professor at the School of Medicine, has shown that the information often doesn't stick. "A significant percentage of physicians-in-training do not understand the statistics they encounter in the medical literature," she says. br /br /In her own teaching, Windish had seen that trainees often read only the abstracts, or "ignored the statistics and skipped right to the results." This practice turns out to be common throughout the medical profession — and potentially troubling. "An abstract usually says little about methods of design, conduct, and analysis," says Windish, citing an earlier study that showed frequent data mismatches between the abstract and the paper.br /br /"Doctors don't necessarily need to know how to do the mathematical calculations," Windish says. "They need to understand the concepts and how to use them." /blockquotebr /Funny, talk to most doctors and they will tell you that only MDs can prescribe because they "know all that calculus, stats and stuff." Really? I've never seen a doctor do any calculations to write a prescription. Now, I've learned that many of them them don't know how to interpret a piece of research thoroughly. That really breeds confidence.br /br /Next, I found out in the magazine that:br /br /blockquoteMorning people are more likely to be emotionally stable than their "night owl" counterparts. Yale psychology postdoctoral researcher Colin DeYoung and his colleagues studied 279 students in an introductory psychology class at the University of Toronto and found a moderately strong correlation between "morningness" and character traits associated with stability. /blockquotebr /br /Uhmm, okay, but I am not sure I buy this theory for the population at large. Undergrads are notorious for partying at night and sleeping during the day. When they have kids or get older and have to be at a job, I wonder if this still holds true? Can't researchers ever get away from studying undergraduates, who are such a peculiar type of cohort that findings may not carry over to other people at different points of life or in different environments?br /br /Finally, I learned that working at Starbucks can save your life. There was an interesting book reviewed in the magazine with the intriguing title, a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1592402860?ie=UTF8tag=wwwviolentkicomlinkCode=as2camp=1789creative=9325creativeASIN=1592402860″emHow Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else./em/aimg src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=wwwviolentkicoml=as2o=1a=1592402860″ width="1″ height="1″ border="0″ alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" / Apparently, the author, who is a member of the Yale class of 63, got a plum job with J. Walter Thompson ad agency only to lose it at the age of 53. Then he goes on to have a number of misfortunes including impregnating a mistress, getting kicked out by his wife, a brain tumor etc. He loses his job and ends up working at a Starbucks in Manhattan and loves it. Naturally, the book review makes fun of this fact, describing the author as a "Starbucks sycophant" but whatever. br /br /The book sounds fun and interesting enough to consider for my collection of reading material that I can never get to since I am too busy reading magazines such as the one described for no other reason than it was sitting beside me on the coffee table.

With all of the controversies and public spectacle surrounding him, it was easy to forget what a fine craftsman Norman Mailer was, writes PJM's David Freeman.

Digital mixer with a mountain of features.
The Phonic IS16 Digital Mixer is an advanced digital mixer with the usability of an analog console. On the surface, the IS16 is a 16 input channel mixer with a set of XLR and 1/4" inputs on each channel. But the IS16 offers so much more. The Phonic IS16 Digital Mixer packs an entire studio worth of gear into a small, compact system. Delay, EQ and dynamics are found on all input and output channels, so there is no need for external processors. Digital AES/EBU inputs and outputs are included, which allow for expanding the scope of your system by connecting it to external digital consoles.
A 31-band graphic equalizer is available on the DFX processor for complete refinement of main signals. The built-in VGA output connector allows all functions to be viewed with ease on any modern computer monitor. A USB/FireWire interface allows PC and Mac connectivity through USB 2.0 and FireWire connections. With built-in EQs, dynamics, delays, digital effects, signal generator, and a meter bridge, the Phonic IS16 Digital Mixer is powerful enough to suit multiple applications - as a live sound reinforcement mixer, a stage and in-ear monitor mixer, or for producing professional studio recordings.

Comments about Phonic IS16 Digital Mixer:
I was looking for a replacement for my failing sound card/computer interface, and saw this on sale.
It serves two main functions in my setup: 1.) As a mixer and direct recording interface for my keyboard setup. 2.) As a recording and monitoring interface for the rest of my studio. With the ability to store and recall setups, this thing has made my life a lot easier.
This appears to be marketed as a "live" mixer, but the quality of the mic preamps and AD/DA converters make it equally usable in the studio.
The only two negatives are the learning curve and the signal routing. As with any device this complex, be prepared to spend time with the manual, and get a thorough understanding of the block diagram. The possibilities for application are almost endless...but there are some limitations.
One omission that really irks me is that you cannot record the main mix out without looping the output back into a pair of inputs. This means that that you have to go through one DA and another AD conversion, and thus you lose some quality.
Also, the onboard effects are OK. The delay on each channel is simplistic, and I wish there was a control to set a hi and low pass on the delay signal. But, the compressor is actually pretty good sounding.
Otherwise, I'm very happy with it, and would recommend this to anyone looking for a flexible and good sounding mixer.

Comments about Phonic IS16 Digital Mixer:
Purchased as an upgrade to my existing Phonic Summit Digital Console, which is its predecessor. The Summit has performed flawlessly with over 400 live performances under its belt and hours of tracking in the studio via FireWire to several different DAW packages/platforms. The IS16 has the following upgrades over its previous incarnation:
WiFi and Ethernet connectivity for remote control via iPad.
VGA and USB mouse connectivity for larger screen and input method.
Faster processor, more responsive touch screen.
Color scheme on buttons has been changed.
Minor changes to icons and graphics on touch screen.
31 channel GEQ on the Mains (4 position parametric EQ still available)
There is a connector for an advertised LED console lamp but one was not in the box I received.
The FireWire USB interface is advertised as having direct recording capabilities to SD card but there is no such feature.
The way the plastic side pieces attach has been changed and the rack ears are a bit different. Rack ears are interchangeable with the previous version.
Power supply is the same.
Interconnection of the 2 mixers can be done via FireWire for use in DAW or via AES/EBU for live performances.
Linking channels for inverse ganging works but loses its setting while adjusting Aux sends where the individual channel faders appear no longer linked.
My signal path looks like this -> Phonic IS16 -> DEQ2496 via AES/EBU -> Denon F650R SD recorder via AES/EBU -> back to Phonic IS16 (or to the old Summit if I need 32 channels)for AES/EBU input. I have a SD card DJ mixer (SDJ-2)plugged in to the Denon for break music between sets. This gets the sound to the IS16 via the AES/EBU chain which prevents getting any of that sound coming through the monitor channels (as it would if you used 2 track ch. 15&16). As far as FOH sound, I come off the DEQ2496 via optical cable to a SRC2496, where I then go AES/EBU to a DCX2496 which then has 6 outputs to speakers. This signal path allows for all EQ, feedback filtering, delay and all other paramters to be adjusted/modified in the digital realm from the mixing board all the way to the crossover/loudspeaker management system. As far as I can remember, the Presonus and most other boards lack the AES/EBU connectors which make my setup possible.
While there is a learning curve with any new equipment, the IS16 has plenty of features to explore and utilize. There are effects available on each channel -> this alone replaces an entire rack of effects gear. 8 multi-outputs work well for monitors, in-ear monitors, aux-fed subwoofers or routing to outboard effect processing. 8 Aux sends can be assigned to multi-outputs or effects with the output routeable to mains or groups. Control Room output also good for hunting down feedback by soloing Aux or channels. SD card stores scenes, cutting down on sound check time at the same venue. Also can store EQ profiles/settings to be applied to individual channels. There are WorldCock connectors which I have never needed to use.
While the Presonus units have captured a majority of the digital console market, the IS16 is a strong contender and should not be overlooked when shopping for a new digital mixing console. The pricing is good compared to others. I had been looking at the Behringer x32 system but it is much more expensive, especially if you go all-in with the digital snake and personal monitor mix boxes.

Comments about Phonic IS16 Digital Mixer:
The "Phonic IS16" is a fine choice if your budget is strictly limited to that price point. For me, the lack of "external aux returns" did compel me to also try out the "Behringer x32 Compact". After doing so , I decided very quickly that I would gladly spend the extra money to move up to the "big-league" "x32 Compact". The robust external I/O, signal routing, and on-board effects on the "x32 Compact" are really stunning compared to Phonic IS16 and completely justify the extra cost of "x32 Compact" over the "Phonic IS16". But again, "Phonic IS16" is a fine choice if your budget is strictly limited to that price point.

Comments about Phonic IS16 Digital Mixer:
Great mixer. Lots of different ways to do things. Either touch screen or using the physical dials. Scene recall takes a about 3-4 seconds, so you have to be careful which mics, etc. you do not want to modify such as a MC mic. Yet to get the USB working on my computer. Comparing this with other digital on the market at this price point, you have real motorized faders and a touch screen built in. Cannot say that for others that I have worked with and owned. Over all great mixer. Good clean sound. Lots of head room on the pre-amps.
Best Uses
Comments about Phonic IS16 Digital Mixer:
After more time working with the IS16 I realized it deserves another star. Any device will have some shortcomings; time and a little creativity applied can usually yield workarounds. I wanted to use the IS16 processed signal for tracking but I can just as well uee my UAD plugins at point of input in my DAW. The sound quality of the pre's bests my RME FF 800 and the reverbs for live are really smooth, I only wish I could use them for tracking... Have yet to try the new remote app, will have to wait for android version.
Best Uses
Comments about Phonic IS16 Digital Mixer:
I do really like this mixer; effects, dynamics, pre's are all more than adequate at this price point. Unfortunately for me I found I needed direct outs to use just the pre's in my DAW configuration. I tried the inserts but there is a slight delay that is not acceptable for my uses. I may wait for the A&H Qu16 or just go analog.

Groups Tell City Council More Help is Needed for Victims of Sex Trafficking
Advocates and lawyers for victims of sex trafficking said the NYPD is treating their clients more like criminals than victims, and that needs to change.
At a City Council hearing Wednesday, public defenders and representatives from nonprofit groups said victims should get more assistance in getting out from under the influence of the men controlling them.
"What is missing is service provisions to help these young people, first of all understand their victimization, cope with their victimization, be in a safe place to receive healing service, and then maybe be in a position to help in a prosecution," said Katherine Mullen with the Legal Aid Society of New York.
But NYPD Inspector James Capaldo defended the department's practices. He said a specially trained Human Trafficking Team handles all of the 1,700 prostitution arrests that police make each year.
"All of the persons arrested for that charge have been debriefed - specifically if they are underage - in order to develop trafficking cases."
Capaldo said, once the prostitute is confirmed to be a victim of sex-trafficking, the team begins an investigation.
The woman may be put into protective custody, until enough evidence is built against her trafficker, but Capaldo said those kinds of cases are hard to pursue.
"Victims of human trafficking are often too terrified to report their plight, to identify themselves as victims, or to cooperate with the law enforcement officers who seek to apprehend their exploiters," Capaldo said.
So far in 2011, the Human Trafficking Team has handled 76 cases resulting in 70 arrests.

Alpha Lipoic Acid and Insulin Resistance
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Subjects will be screened with a 2 hour oral glucose tolerance test. After this screening visit, their insulin resistance will be measured. Subjects will then be given either alpha lipoic acid (antioxidant) or placebo for 6 weeks. The insulin resistance test will be repeated after the 6 weeks. We believe these studies will confirm the beneficial effect of alpha lipoic acid on insulin sensitivity.

Dietary Supplement: Alpha Lipoic Acid
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Investigator)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Alpha Lipoic Acid and Insulin Resistance
- Insulin Resistance [ Time Frame: 0 months and 4 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Study Start Date:
|January 2008

|Primary Completion Date:
|September 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Anti-Oxidant
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Dietary Supplement: Alpha Lipoic Acid
Two 400 mg tablets of Alpha Lipic Acid are taken 3 times daily
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Dietary Supplement: Alpha Lipoic Acid
Two 400 mg tablets of Alpha Lipic Acid are taken 3 times daily
Detailed Description:
We propose to perform a placebo-controlled study of Alpha Lipoic Acid (LA) administration in a cohort of non-obese, non-diabetic, insulin resistant subjects. The insulin sensitivity of 180 subjects will be initially estimated by measuring fasting glucose and insulin levels (homeostasis model assessment) and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The 60 most insulin resistant subjects will then be randomized to 6 weeks of therapy with either 600 mg three times a day of LA or placebo. To quantitate the ALA-induced improvements, euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamps to evaluate insulin sensitivity, OGTT using deuterated glucose to evaluate glycolytic glucose disposal, and muscle biopsies to evaluate insulin signaling pathways, will be performed before and after treatment. We believe these studies will (1) confirm the beneficial effect of CR-ALA on insulin sensitivity; (2) further our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of LA action; and (3) because these insulin resistant subjects are at risk for the development of type 2 diabetes, the Metabolic Syndrome, and coronary artery disease (CAD), a demonstration of the beneficial effects of LA on insulin action could ultimately have important public health consequences.

Beans - End It All
This album is one that I have been looking forward to. Beans debut on anticon. It's been talked about for quite some time. Beans who most people know from Antipop Consortium have never been one of my favourite emcees. He's far from bad, but somehow he's always outdone by the beats themselves. And unfortunately that is kind of the case here too. On End It All he gets the help from producers such as Four Tet, Son Lux, Tobacco and Sam Fog from Interpol. And the productions are all great. But the sad thing about that is that I kind of wished that the album was instrumental. I can't really blame Beans too much, it just seems to be that he constantly have the fortune, or perhaps misfortune, to choose music that is better than himself. The rating would be higher if it was an instrumental record, but still, it's a solid album.
Rating: 3/5

YIELD: Makes 8 (as a small plate) servings
ACTIVE TIME: 45 min
TOTAL TIME: 45 min
- 1/2 pound fatty ground pork
- 1/2 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
- 1/4 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Vietnamese chile-garlic sauce (preferably Huy Fong brand)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated peeled ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar (not seasoned)
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Pinch of white pepper
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro stems
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped flowering chives, flat Chinese chives (garlic chives), or scallions
- 24 to 30 round dumpling wrappers (preferably with egg)
- Accompaniment: Lantern dumpling sauce
- Garnish: thinly sliced scallions
Combine all ingredients (except cilantro stems, chives, and wrappers) in a large bowl, then stir in cilantro stems and chives. Set bowl in a larger bowl of ice to keep chilled while forming dumplings.
Place a slightly rounded teaspoon of filling in center of a wrapper and moisten area around filling with water. Fold in half to form a crescent and press to seal. Moisten one corner and bring corners together, pressing them, to form a tortellini-shaped dumpling. Repeat with remaining filling and wrappers.
Cook dumplings in a large pot of gently simmering water until pork is just cooked, about 3 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a platter.
Cooks note: Dumplings can be formed (but not cooked) 2 hours ahead and chilled; or 1 month ahead and frozen on a tray, then transferred to a freezer bag. Cook frozen dumplings in 3 or 4 batches, 7 to 8 minutes per batch.

An LA Times Puff Piece On Illegal Immigration
Posted By 'Okie' On 6/8/2012 @ 9:24 am In Media Doin' It Wrong | Comments Disabled
The top section of today's LATEXTRA section of the dead-tree edition of the Los Angeles Times, above the fold, features the story of Maria Gomez [1], an illegal immigrant that has managed to graduate from UCLA with a degree in Architecture. Actually, considering her circumstances, that's a mighty impressive accomplishment. However… that's not the gist of the piece. Here's a taste:
At 26, she was getting her master's in architecture from one of the nation's top schools. But the triumph felt hollow, her sense of achievement tangled up with bitterness and fear.
The country that made you hide like a criminal and the country that promised to let you stand tall atop your talent — she'd grown up with both, somehow believed in both. But now, about to be pitched into a job market where she could not legally work, she felt dread in her stomach.
The rest of the piece details her early life and her collegiate journey, all while extolling the dangers of her being illegal. She even became an activist for the "Dream Act" legislation (where WE the taxpayers would be on the hook for the higher-education cost for illegals) — the LAT does love their progressive activists.
It ends, (all three pages of it online!) with her just missing out on a paying job, again because she's illegal. Hmmm… what to do, what to do?
There's real tragedy here. A child is brought into the country at the age of eight and taught to hide in plain site to avoid deportation. Our society makes it possible for her to get a first-class education in a field that could provide her an excellent living. One would think that Mexico would be clamoring for for folks like these to come, work and be a productive part of that country. Of course there's this – who in their right mind, after living here all their lives, would want to go live and work in Mexico right now?
I have no answers for this dilemma, I'm just wondering if this was the most important "Late-Breaking" story of June 8th, 2012… or, is it just more water-carrying by the MSM for President Obama? Some convenient distraction from the Wisconsin results, the mess at Justice, the wide-spread predictions of Economic Armageddon next January — all of the above?
Just askin'.

"[New billionaires in fast-growing countries] have to buy longer-range airplanes. If you're flying from Mongolia to Nigeria, it's either a three-day journey flying commercial or a nine-hour flight on your jet."
California Reinstates 90-day Tax-Exemption Test
Because of a budget compromise agreed upon by California's Senate in August, aircraft buyers in that state will again get a tax break that was taken away three years ago. That's when lawmakers changed the use-tax-liability test period, requiring out-of-state aircraft purchasers to keep their airplanes out of California for a year-rather than 90 days, the previous rule-to avoid the tax. By lengthening the period, the state hoped to increase tax revenue, according to Stephen Hofer, president of Aerlex Law Group in Santa Monica, Calif. That plan didn't work, Hofer said, and, for aircraft purchased after July 1, 2007, the 90-day rule will again apply.

Witnesses have come forward to support the civil lawsuit filed by the sons of Jee Jing Hang, one among many of the missing passengers of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Datuk Arunan Selvaraj, lead counsel of Hang's two teenaged sons, said that the new witnesses held vital information to help strengthen the civil case against a collection of authorities and organizations responsible for the event, such as the Malaysian Government, the Malaysia Airlines, the Malaysia air force, civil aviation authorities, and the immigration department.
Selvaraj refused to reveal their witnesses as of yet, but has stated that the lawyers will not be summoning Mario Balotelli, the Italian footballer who claimed terrorist suspects and was consulted by investigators during the initial investigation of the case. more >>
Two Amish girls kidnapped from their family's vegetable stand have been returned and are doing well, officials say.
The girls were abducted by two men, who took them to a home just 13 miles from their home in Oswegatchie, New York. Fannie, 12, and Delila Miller, 7, were taken from their family's vegetable stand on Wednesday and managed to escape from their captors. They then arrived at the home of Jeff Stinson, who returned them to their home.
"The children seemed to be healthy, a little wet and cold," St. Lawrence County District Attorney Mary Rain, told the press. "We have the sheriff's department and the FBI speaking with the young ladies," Raid added. "I can't wait until they arrest these people, if there's more than one, because I would love an opportunity to prosecute them." more >>
Rallies and prayer vigils worldwide are marking 100 days since more than 200 schoolgirls from northeastern Nigeria were abducted by the militant Islamist group Boko Haram, with most of the girls still missing.
A rally is planned for Thursday at the Embassy of Nigeria in Washington, D.C., hosted by the Institute on Religion & Democracy, Jubilee Campaign and The Working Group on Nigeria.
"The intentions of Boko Haram to forcibly Islamize Nigeria through horrific violence are a very serious threat both to U.S. security and to the citizens of Nigeria," said IRD Religious Liberty Program Director Faith J. H. McDonnell in a statement released Wednesday. more >>
A teen feared taken in by a human trafficking ring has been found at a mall in Happy Valley, Oregon. Anji Dean, 17, was located at a mall by a Good Samaritan who tried to help Anji and notified officials, who quickly came and brought Anji home.
"It is clear that the local and national news coverage as well as the widespread sharing of this family's story via social media such as Facebook and Twitter was integral in leading us to her safe return," Sgt. Kevin Allais told the press. "This is an active investigation that includes the crime of human trafficking. We will be continuing our investigation."
Police believe that she was the victim of a human trafficking ring. A woman identified as Jennifer told KGW that Anji introduced herself using her real name but then asked to be called "Daisy." She reportedly told Jennifer that people were looking for her and she was being forced to do things she did not want. Jennifer tried to help her, but Anji disappeared before that could happen. more >>
Joran van der Sloot, the man suspected in the death of American student Natalee Holloway, has officially married while in a Peruvian prison, his lawyer confirmed. Van der Sloot is serving a 28-year sentence and may face extradition to the United States, where he is wanted for questioning and extortion.
Van der Sloot exchanged vows with a Peruvian local named Leidy Figueroa on Friday morning, CNN reported. The couple met while he was in prison, serving time for killing Stephany Flores and maintained a relationship in- and outside the prison walls. The two even managed to conceive a child and Figueroa is due in September.
"They became friends and spent a lot of time together in his cell," van der Sloot's lawyer, Maximo Altez, said. "Unlike the United States, here in Peru, loved ones or relatives can see inmates inside their jails." more >>
The Rev. Kristopher Keating, executive director at World Horizons USA, a Christian non-profit organization working in more than 30 countries, said the recent abduction of 300 girls from a school in Nigeria and resulting international uproar could be the end of Boko Haram in the country. Keating is in Nigeria this week to pray and stand in solidarity with those affected by the kidnapping and other acts of terrorism involving young children.
"People are hungry to know that their suffering here is not going unnoticed, that reports of this particular instance of large scale abduction are, for seemingly the first time in this country, causing people to take to demonstration and public outcry against Boko Haram," Keating told The Christian Post on Monday evening. "This could be a catalyzing event that breaks Boko Haram in Nigeria."
Some of the Nigerian girls who managed to escape after armed men from the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram kidnapped them last month shared their stories, while the governor of the state where the incident took place says more than 200 girls still captive have been sighted. more >>

Best Long Distance Love Quotes – Quotes About Long Distance Relationships
Posted by JM | Posted in Lovemaking Tips | Posted on 21-03-2010
When someone is in love, it is easy to end up being in a long distance relationship at some point in the relationship. This is because love gets people to do crazy things. Crazy things like being in a relationship with someone that lives far away. Even with all the advice friends and family say about how long distance relationships do not work people still find themselves in them. This is because of the love passion people have for each other, and peoples willingness and eagerness to keep that love and passion alive.
Being away from a lover is difficult because of many reasons but among the top of those reasons lies the fact that they both miss each so much. If you would like to read more about my feelings about long distance relationships read my article, "Five Reasons Why Long Distance Relationships Usually Do Not Work."
There are only a few things one can do to make himself or herself feel better. To name a few, calling them, looking at pictures, or reading little things about love. Some people also enjoy reading quotes about long distance relationships in order to make them feel like they are not alone in their loneliness. I have put together a collection of what I believe are the best long distance love quotes below:
Long Distance Love Quotes
- "Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it." (Thomas Fuller)
- "The simple lack of her is more to me than others presence. " (Edward Thomas)
- "Absence is to love as wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small and kindles the great." (Roger de Bussy-Rabutin)
- "Can miles truly separate you from friends? If you want to be with someone you love, are not you already there?" (Richard Bach)
- "Love is missing someone whenever you are apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you are close in heart." (Kay Knudsen)
- "In true love the smallest distance is too great, and the greatest distance can be bridged." (Hans Nouwens)
- "That farewell kiss which resembles greeting, that last glance of love which becomes the sharpest pang of sorrow." (George Eliot)
- "Here in my heart, that is where you will be; you will be with me, here in my heart. No distance can keep us apart, long as you are here in my heart." (Diane Warren)
- "Constant togetherness is fine, but only for Siamese twins." (Victoria Billings)
- "Any time not spent on love is wasted." (Torquato Tasso)
That is the collection of long distance love quotes that I have come up with, of which I think are of the best out there. Generally time apart in a relationship makes the heart grow fonder. Since this is the case, a lot of time spent in a long distance relationship is spent missing each other and thinking about each other.
Being away from a lover for a long period of time can be lonely. These love quotes can hopefully give some comfort to people with this loneliness.

New assistant county attorney Ivy Madison simply doesn't know any better when she bids on Darek at the charity auction. Nor does she know that when she crafted a plea bargain three years ago to keep Jensen Atwood out of jail and in Deep Haven fulfilling community service, she was releasing the man responsible for Felicity's death. All Ivy knows is that the Christiansens feel like the family she's always longed for. And once she gets past Darek's tough exterior, she finds a man she could spend the rest of her life with. Which scares her almost as much as Darek learning of her involvement in his wife's case.

Amcal Family ServicesŌĆÖ new parenting group can help
It's a brave new world for parents of teenagers. Amcal's new parenting support group can help.
It's a different world than the one we grew up in; parents today didn't have to worry about their teenage exploits being filmed surreptitiously, uploaded to Youtube and Facebook and then spread to the entire world via the Internet in mere minutes. We didn't have phones we carried with us everywhere and used them to communicate with our friends every second of every day.
You remember your own adolescence, don't you? Those who say they liked being around their parents when they were teenagers are either delusional or lying. Possibly both.
Now imagine that there is no single barrier to you communicating with your friends - and better yet, imagine how magnified everything was when you were a teenager.
And, now, I invite you to imagine that you are charged with parenting and guiding this teenager through life.
My kids are seven and two, and yet the idea of parenting adolescents in the 21st century makes me very nervous indeed.
Fortunately, Amcal Family Services are there. Simply put, Amcal is the go-to source if your family is in crisis - and you, the parent feel like a deer caught in the headlights.
Amcal's weekly Community parents group series ŌĆś21st century families,' kicks off Feb. 15 with the first of four sessions designed to help parents make sense of it all. They'll explore ŌĆśthe 5 Ws of parenting,' in the first session, followed up by a session on how to set reasonable boundaries everyone can live with, a third session on consistency and the importance of maintaining that consistency with regard to household rules and finally, a fourth session on helping clarify the household ŌĆścontract,' detailing the teen's rights as well as outlining his or her responsibilities.
At $50 for the four-week session, it could be the biggest bargain you've ever picked up. As they say in credit-card commercials, some things are priceless.
Now, I don't have teenagers yet, but I know something about the value of having a harmonious household - and I know that $50 is a small price to pay for potential parenting peace. The sessions are offered in English at the Amcal head office, located at 7 Ste. Anne St. in Pointe Claire and run from Feb. 15 to March 7. The group is facilitated by Susan Layne, and costs $50 for all four sessions. For information and registration, contact Amcal Residential and Family Work Coordinator Delia Noel at 514-694-3161, ext. 223 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

All filmmakers who tackle fairy tales give the stories their own spin. Take two other recent Snow White adaptations: In Mirror Mirror, the evil queen wears a facial mask of parrot poop, and in Snow White and the Huntsman, she bathes in milky goop while Snow promenades through an enchanted forest filled with happy bunnies. Even so, when the dwarves in this Spanish adaptation of Snow White turn out to be bullfighters, it's a twist that raises eyebrows. That's not the only winking surprise in Pablo Berger's silent black-and-white film, which livens up the Teutonic original with bullfighting, a rhythmic flamenco score and even a BDSM-practicing stepmother (a thoroughly campy Maribel Verdú) who outfits her lover in a collar and leash. Here, Snow White is the daughter of a famous toreador who is gored and paralyzed on the same day his wife dies. There's an obligatory period of mistreatment and loneliness at the hands of her stepmother, after which Snow escapes with the friendly gang of dwarves on the bullfighting circuit. As with its cinematic cousin The Artist, Blancanieves uses intertitles sparingly, relying instead on exaggerated light and shadow, overwrought gesture and close-ups so extreme they might make you recoil. It's visually and sonically stimulating, but the characters end up as flat or grotesque caricatures, and Berger seems more interested in surges of melodrama than in engaging storytelling. BDSM and bullfighting aside, there's no heat.

Flying from Stuttgart
Germany is home to dozens of airports, with the busiest being Frankfurt Airport. Just as Stuttgart is the sixth largest city in Germany, it also has the sixth busiest airport, Stuttgart Airport. Flights from Stuttgart, some operated by airberlin, fly from this major travel location.
Stuttgart Airport Information
Stuttgart Airport services nearly 10 million passengers every year. Approximately 55 airlines operate out of this major travel hub, using the four terminals. As so many busy professionals and tourists pass through this airport, it features a wealth of stores and services.
Passengers can take care of their banking requirements, receive medical attention, or grab a bite to eat in between flights. This airport is even home to an impressive conference center.
Getting to the Airport in Stuttgart
There are many different ways to get to the airport. You can use the Stuttgart Central Railway Station to take a train to Stuttgart Airport. The journey takes about half an hour and does not require transfers. You can also take a bus to Stuttgart Airport via several routes. If you prefer private transportation, you can also rent a car or take a taxi to Stuttgart Airport.
Arriving in Munich
Find flight deals to Munich with airberlin and experience a city that welcomes the future while still remembering its past. Walk the streets among iconic historical buildings and charming local shops to get a taste of the city's inviting atmosphere.
First Time in Munich
Bicycle tours are a great way to get a feel for the city the first time you travel to Munich. Ride through winding medieval streets and sunny plazas, and admire the architecture that has stood there for centuries. Take a break along the way for refreshments at one of the cafes or beer gardens.
Your Munich
Many tourists book tickets to Munich to take part in Oktoberfest, the annual beer festival that runs between September and October. Oktoberfest offers carnival rides, ceremonial parades, and of course plenty of local brews to sample.
Making the Most of Your Munich Holiday
A city at the foot of the Alps, Munich is prone to rainfall and colder winters. The city stays cool from December through March, but will only see snowfall for a couple of weeks. Plan your flights to Munich between May and September to take advantage of the warmest months. You are likely to find cheap hotels in Munich in early spring.

At the Sixth Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia, the United States joined Colombia and other leaders of the Western Hemisphere in committing to achieve universal access to electricity over the next decade through enhanced electrical interconnection. This initiative, developed by Colombia and called "Connecting the Americas 2022" will increase access to reliable, clean, and affordable electricity for the region's 31 million citizens without it. Connecting the Americas 2022 supports the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA), launched by President Obama at the 2009 Summit of the Americas, which promotes regional collaboration on low-carbon development, energy security, and climate change.
Electrical Interconnection in the Americas
The Western Hemisphere produces one quarter of the world's oil, almost one-third of its natural gas, and nearly 30 percent of global electricity, and is also endowed with abundant renewable energy resources. The region requires a 26 percent increase in new power generation capacity to meet annual projected GDP growth of as much as 6 percent over the next decade. Electrical interconnection benefits all countries by allowing those with excess power to export electricity to countries that have a power deficit. Interconnected power systems allow for greater integration of renewable energy resources, as well as power exchanges among countries with varying climate and seasonal needs. Interconnection expands the size of power markets, creating economies of scale, which can attract private investment, lower capital costs, and reduce electricity costs for consumers -- that makes businesses more competitive and helps create jobs. When coupled with national strategies to develop off-grid, mini-grid, or clean cook stoves, electrical interconnection will bring modern energy services to hundreds of millions who have limited or no access, including in this hemisphere.
Connecting the Americas 2022: The Decade for Electrical Interconnection
This hemisphere has made significant progress to integrate power sectors and promote cross-border trade in electricity with support from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), World Bank, Organization of American States (OAS), donors, and private companies. Connecting the Americas 2022 will serve as a framework for the Americas to reinforce regional and bi-national efforts to bring electricity to all parts of the hemisphere. Connecting the Americas 2022 is a platform for development and prosperity: it means education for children, cold chains for vaccines, reliable power for clinics and hospitals, and lower costs for business. Connecting the Americas 2022 will create a business climate that accelerates development of renewable energy and attracts private investment, big and small. Connecting the Americas 2022 will open markets that bring the best in power technology to markets that need low-cost and efficient solutions. Working through ECPA and other mechanisms, Connecting the Americas 2022 will tap the expertise, technology, and capital of individual countries, regulators, utilities, the private sector, and multilateral organizations and institutions.
U.S. Government Support for Connecting the Americas 2022
Ongoing and new technical assistance and capacity building programs through ECPA and other mechanisms include:

1905-04-07 (158lbs) Philadelphia Jack O'Brien w pts 10 Young Peter Jackson, 4th Regiment Armory, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
From Barry Hugman's History of Championship Boxing
1905-04-07 (158lbs) Philadelphia Jack O'Brien w pts 10 Young Peter Jackson, 4th Regiment Armory, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Referee: Charlie White. The Baltimore Sun reported that with both men inside 158lbs, O'Brien's American title claim at the weight was automatically at stake. The fight started slowly, but after the opening round it warmed up with nearly every session going in O'Brien's favour. The nearest thing to a knockout came in the ninth when, with Jackson extremely groggy, O'Brien was unable to find a finishing punch. Although Jackson generally had the better of things at close quarters he was outboxed and outmanoeuvred, at times being bewildered by O'Brien's movement and evasive tactics.

Lavender Hand and Body Lotion
This lotion is made by Avalon Organics, but sold by TJ's at 1/2 price. At my TJ's location, instead of being $11, the Lavender lotion (the only scent they sell, and I think the only organic lotion) is only $5.50...a steep price for a 12 oz. lotion, but still a better price than you'd pay Avalon. This lotion has a strong lavender smell, a non-oily feel, moisturizes well, and the smell eventually goes away once it's on your hands.

Corporate IT departments are struggling to manage and secure an influx of handheld mobile devices—both corporate and employee-owned. Two technologies best positioned to help include network access control (NAC) and mobile device management (MDM). While there is minor overlap in capabilities, the two technologies bring different management and security features that complement each other to ensure full visibility and control of the network and mobile devices.
This white paper will explore these two technologies, and explain how they differ and how they complement each other—ultimately revealing how the use of these technologies together can enable IT departments to effectively oversee devices and the network in this new era of IT consumerization.
