Insurer Allianz sees ops profit of 8 bln euros this year
Frankfurt (AFP) Feb 24, 2011
German insurance giant Allianz said Thursday that it foresees an operating profit of eight billion euros ($11 billion) this year, give or take half a billion.
Allianz chief executive Michael Diekmann told a press conference in Munich, southern Germany, that uncertainty caused by new European capital requirements for insurers made it hard to give a more precise outlook.
"For the 2011 exercise, we foresee an operating profit of eight billion euros, give or take 500 million owing to uncertainties," Diekmann said.
Shares in the biggest European insurer were then hammered in midday trading on the Frankfurt stock exchange.
Allianz was exposed to a maximum of 300 million euros in losses from the earthquake on Tuesday in New Zealand and torrential rains in Australia early this year, its boss acknowledged.
But "that is a very provisional estimate," Diekmann said.
He underscored optimism for the full-year but warned a new set of EU capital requirements known as Solvency II needed to be clarified because they might entail risks for some of Allianz's activities.
"Owing to uncertainties over Solvency II we cannot make any large acquisitions," Diekmann noted.
The new regime is to take effect in 2013, but some details must still be finalised and an insurer might have to raise its capital significantly, which would undermine earnings and make some activities unattractive, he explained.
Allianz finance director Paul Achleitner said the uncertainty could also affect Allianz's investments in financial markets.
For 2010, the group reported a 17 percent jump in operating profit to 8.2 billion euros, exceeding its own target and analyst forecasts thanks in part to 500 million euros in exceptional items, including positive effects from foreign exchange rates.
Allianz's net profit leapt by 20.1 percent to 5.05 billion euros.
Revenues gained 9.3 percent to a record high of 106.5 billion euros, and Allianz directors will propose a dividend of 4.50 euros per share, up from 4.10 euros in 2009.
Investors apparently had hoped for more and the group's share price plunged in midday Frankfurt trading, showing a loss of 3.06 percent to 101.4 euros while the DAX index of German blue-chips was 1.10 percent lower overall.

Junior High Facts and Risks – Learn to Survive Before You Drive
Know Your Risks
Car crashes are the number one killer of teens in America – and it's not just the teens who are driving. You are also at a very high risk each time you get into a vehicle, but there are things you should know and things you can do to protect yourself. But, don't stop with knowing the facts and keeping yourself safe – tell your friends too! That is what Teens in the Driver Seat Junior High is all about. We help you learn the facts, and you help spread the message in your family, your school, and your community, because the more we know and act, the safer we will all be!
The Facts:
- Every day in the U.S. there is at least one passenger from the ages of 8 to 12 that dies in a car crash.
- Half of all young passengers who died in crashes were not buckled up.
- Studies show that junior high teens are almost 2X more likely to wear seat belts when adults in the car are also wearing them.
- Safety experts recommend that teens under the age of 13 always ride in the back seat.
- Research show that children involved in car crashes are 28% more likely to be injured in a front seat than if they had been sitting in the back.
- The front seat presents two dangers to junior high teens:
- They can be badly hurt or killed if they are too close when the airbag deploys.
- They are more likely to be hurt in a crash, because most wrecks involve the front end of the vehicle.
- Teen drivers significantly impact young passengers:
- Teen drivers are 2X more likely to have children in the front seat than adult drivers.
- Novice teen drivers are 3X more likely to have unrestrained child passengers than adult drivers.
- Young teens riding with drivers ages 16 to 19 are 3X more likely to die in a crash than if riding with a driver age 20 and older.
Help Keep the Driver Awake
- If the driver is having a hard time staying awake:
- Talk to him or her.
- Turn on the radio and maybe even sing along with the music together.
- Recommend that the driver stop and walk around or get something to eat or drink.
- As it gets dark outside and gets harder to see:
- Ask the driver if the headlights are on.
- Keep your eyes open and help the driver watch the road.
Speak Up For Your Safety
- The faster the vehicle is going, the harder it is to stop.
- Remember that speeding can be dangerous and cost money.
- Watch for speed limit signs and let the driver know when the number changes.
- Help the driver look for dangers in the road.
- Ask questions about driving and how it's done. This lets the driver know they are setting the example.
- Know the law – Reckless driving is against the law, and is defined as driving in a way that shows you really don't care about the safety of people or property.
Don't Distract the Driver
- For every extra teen you add in the car, the possibility of a car crash increases. Remember that passengers in the car can be a distraction, including you. You can help reduce distractions for the driver by:
- Talking at a normal level inside the car.
- Lowering the volume on all portable game players, DVD players and music players.
- Serving as the designated texter for the driver.
Always Buckle Up and Ride in the Back Seat
- One in three young passengers who died in car crashes were not buckled up.
- Make sure you sit in the back seat and wear your seat belt properly.
- Remind everyone to buckle up.
- Stay in your seat and stay buckled up.
Don't Ride With Someone Who is Drinking or Using Drugs
- If the driver of your vehicle has been drinking or has used drugs:
- Refuse to ride with them.
- Call someone you trust to help.
- Walk, bike, or find a different way if your trip is short.
- If you see a driver that should not drive:
- Let a responsible adult know.
- Tell him or her to call a cab or find a ride.
- Ask him or her to wait until they are able to drive.

College volleyball: BYU falls to USC in NCAA women's volleyball
BYU's surprising run in the NCAA women's volleyball tournament ended on Friday night, but not before the Cougars snapped sixth-seeded USC's lengthy single-set winning streak.
The Trojans won the regional semifinal match 3-1.
The scores were 32-30, 25-13, 21-25 and 25-16
USC (29-5) moves on to play Pac-12 foe Washington, which swept Kansas earlier Friday at the Galen Center in Los Angeles.
The Cougars, who advanced with wins over Arizona State and Hawaii last weekend, finished their season at 24-7.
In the intense and well-played first set, BYU served on set point five times but ultimately fell in controversial fashion. Neither team led by more than three points in the set.
BYU's Ciara Parker appeared to have made a key dig with the score tied at 30-30, but officials gave USC the set point.
In the second set, the Trojans scored the last six points to win easily and go ahead 2-0.
The Cougars broke from a 3-3 tie with four quick points in the fourth set, and avoided the sweep 25-21 with a kill by Jessica Jardine off a pass by Camry Godfrey.
That ended USC's 20-set winning streak, which dated back to Nov. 22.
But the Trojans had too much firepower in the fourth set, jumping to a quick 3-0 lead and never trailing. Sophomore Alexa Gray led BYU with 23 kills and Parker had 17 digs. Godfrey had 49 assists.
For USC, Samantha Bricio had 22 kills and Natalie Hagglund recorded 22 digs.

LAKE CHARLES, La. - Jake Rhodes, 22, of Lake Charles, La., was sentenced to five years in federal prison today for possession of child pornography, following an investigation conducted by special agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE's) Office of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office, La.
Rhodes was also sentenced to serve a term of supervised release for the rest of his life following his release from prison. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Patricia Minaldi for the U. S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana.
Rhodes, who was a security guard at a mall in Lake Charles, pleaded guilty in December 2009, to one count of possession of child pornography. Hard core videos of child pornography were found on a computer that the defendant had rented from a store in Lake Charles. After Rhodes returned the computer to the store, the owner discovered the videos had been saved on the computer and included children as young as six months old. During an interview with law enforcement, Rhodes confessed to downloading the child pornography from the Internet. Between the time that he confessed to downloading child pornography and the time of the defendant's arrest, he had purchased another computer and begun downloading more hardcore child pornography.
"Whether these heinous acts are committed through proliferation of Internet images, or by individuals who travel abroad to abuse children, HSI is fully committed to implementing every resource available to rid the scourge of international child exploitation," said Raymond R. Parmer, Jr., special agent in charge of the ICE HSI office in New Orleans. "Citizens can aid law enforcement by remaining vigilant and reporting suspicious activities involving the Internet or foreign travel. Together we can stop the senseless exploitation of children at the hands of those who prey upon the most vulnerable members of our society."
This case was part of Operation Predator, which is a nationwide ICE initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders, and child sex traffickers. Since Operation Predator was launched in July 2003, ICE agents have arrested almost 12,800 individuals.
ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE. This hotline is staffed around the clock by investigators.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

The UK broadcast premiere of Janacek's, Jenufa, reissue by mpLIVE, has already attracted critical acclaim, not least for the superbly dramatic conducting of Rafael Kubelík. Now, for the first time in over half a century, we can appreciate his detailed, spontaneous and febrile approach to another classical 20th century opera, Peter Grimes: this is, in fact, the only extant recording of a Britten opera conducted by Kubelík.
The central role is naturally taken by the man for whom it was written, singing with perhaps even more freedom and authority live in the house, and with Kubelík's slightly more relaxed tempi, than he did in the classic Decca recording made later in 1958. That was conducted by the composer, who was as yet comparatively unused to the demands of marshalling large forces and dealing with the complexities of a studio recording. Another appreciable factor in the sucess and unique qualities of this performance is the Australian soprano Sylvia Fisher, singing 'an imposingly intense Ellen Orford', as the Britten scholar Arnold Whittal remarks in his booklet notes.
The rest of the cast is highly attuned both to the conductor's approach and to the work itself, which had hardly fallen from the repertoire since its triumphant first performance in November 1947. Nor has the cathartic appeal of this psychologically acute portrayal of an outsider and a closed society faded in the meanwhile, as the praise attendant upon the recent staging by English Nationa Opera testifies.

Joe D'Amico's NBA 100% Slam Dunk Winner
Joe D'Amico's NBA 100% Slam Dunk Winner
Indiana vs. Charlotte, 11/02/2012 19:00 EDT, Score: 89 - 90
Point Spread: -6½/-110 Indiana
Sportsbook: BETONLINE
Result: Loss
Today's winner is Indiana over Charlotte. This is my Slam Dunk Winner.
Charlotte finished last season with a League-worst 7 victories. They have a new coach in Mike Dunlap and several new faces in the lineup. The team plans on using an 11-man rotation which I believe will make matters worse in the beginning of the season due to the fact that the players don't have any chemistry or symmetry. Indiana is a very strong team, even without Danny Granger sitting with an injury. West, Weorge, and Hibbert will supply the firepower like they did in the season-opener when the trio combined for 53 points and 24 boards. The Pacers have taken 9 straight over the Bobcats, including 4 wins and covers over the L4 meetings. Take Indiana. Thank you.

Educational Centres in Auroville
CIRHU (Centre for International Research in Human Unity)
"The Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother" workshops
CIC (Centre for Indian culture)
Institute for Research on Supramental Transformation
New Creation Dance Studio schedule
As might be expected within a township whose Charter talks about it
being a place of 'unending education, of constant progress, and a youth
that never ages', and 'a site of material and spiritual researches...',
Auroville has a number of adult education-cum-research centres devoted
to everything from the realisation of global human unity to
transformation of the human body into the next species.
Although these centres are, as yet, not like laboratories where one can measure results, they are sources of documentation, inspiration and guidance for the residents of the township interested in expanding the frontiers of their knowledge in the occult sciences, and working on their own inner development.
Most of these places hold courses and seminars, mount exhibitions, publish leaflets or other publications, and host guest speakers expert in their speciality. Overall they substantially enrich the field of educational opportunities for 'seekers' in Auroville, and contribute in a subtle but powerful way to the township's growth and development.

Welcome to the project page for the HTML form controls. Form controls are the various widgets that can be used in an HTML form and that can participate in form submission. The code in the engine that talks to the controls is in the WebCore framework. The DOM elements are under the html directory, and the rendering objects are under the rendering directory.
Get Involved!View bugs in the HTML Forms component in Bugzilla.
Below is a sampling of interesting open issues with our HTML form controls. To get involved contact us!
- Stabilize the new form controls
- Form controls have recently switched from using standard AppKit controls to being rendered within the engine itself. This allows us to support more CSS properties for controls, and makes our code more portable to other platforms. Because this is such a major architectural change, we ask that you scrutinize the new controls closely and report any bugs. An evolving survey of form and other interactive controls for HTML5 is available.
- Implement Web Forms
- The WhatWG has outlined extensions to existing HTML forms. We are interested in supporting these extensions (along with Opera and Mozilla). The specification details all of these enhancements. We welcome bugs, contributions and testers to help us implement these improvements.

Previously, on the News Roundup Poll, we asked you if we could end veteran homelessness in five years. The majority of you said that we could:
This is good. It would be pretty depressing if most of you had said no.
In the news recently:
- The Alliance is observing National Homeless Youth Awareness Month by featuring our policy and program analysts Andre Wade and Sam Batko, as well as other members of our excellent staff, in recent youth-centered blog posts. If you have any questions or concerns about youth homelessness, let us know so we can address them.
- The New York Times reported on the new "supplemental poverty measure" released by the Census Bureau on Nov. 7. The measure includes a number of important non-cash benefits from government programs, such as SNAP (food stamps) and the earned-income tax credit, but also includes expenses, such as child and health care, and taxes. These more focused calculations reveal that more Americans are living in and near poverty than under the official standard, which will still be used to administer programs.
- Part of the benefit of this measure is that it takes into account the "sharp increase in the food stamps program" that has protected those thrown into unemployment by the recession. The program, now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, has been expanded twice since 2007, doubling the amount of assistance going to needy families.
- For some good news: the Fresno Bee published a story on the success of their Housing First-based plan to end homelessness. The Fresno Housing Authority has been working with nonprofits and matching private donations to place 58 people in housing and prepare for the construction of a 70-unit complex of affordable housing.

Issue 8.10 | Oct 2000
this article for free.
Great input devices don't appear often. That's why I've come to appreciate Sony's Jog Dial, currently on its ultrachic PCG-SR7K (as well as its palmtop PDA). The Jog Dial, about as thick as a nickel, sticks out slightly and uses ridges around its edge to give fingertips traction.
The dial does three things: rolls up, rolls down, and clicks in. Pressing the SR7K's Jog Dial while writing this review, for instance, I turned the wheel into a scroller; a little flick moved the page up or down. Neat. Another press closed the Word document.
Sony has even built Jog Dial functions into its video-editing software, which also makes good use of the firewire port on the SR7K. And a whole selection of Jog Dial combos with the Ctrl, Shift, and Alt keys will keep power users from ever fingering a touchpad again. Roll on.

A potentiometer to encoder conversion in ROBOTC?
So, I've run into a slight problem with my team. We have a system with four motors, and we need to be able to synchronize those motors, however two are monitored by a potentiometer, while two are monitored by an encoder. I was wondering if there was a way to convert the output from the potentiometer and the encoder into some sort of common units, so we can perform the necessary calculations and apply them to the motor? How is the output of the potentiometer compared to the output of an encoder?
Re: A potentiometer to encoder conversion in ROBOTC?
I don't have the answer, but you can find out pretty easily. Push a shaft through an encoder an a potentiometer at the same time. Then find out how much the potentiometer moved vs. how much the encoder moved. I've done this and it works nicely. The potentiometer may not be exactly linear, so depending on how precise you need this to be, you can turn it to several increments and check the values, or better yet, write a program to do it for you.
Re: A potentiometer to encoder conversion in ROBOTC?
please do not tell me this 4 motor system happens to be on a drive or on something that runs in more that 270 degrees. I have seen way too many people put a potentiometer on a wheel on their drive, and they always wonder why it won't work.
Re: A potentiometer to encoder conversion in ROBOTC?
Because of of the Linearity of the Potentiometer, and the "placement repeatability", some other sorts of Parameters may be needed to provide a Complete Solutions to this problem..
First, the Encoders are always Relative to the starting Count, Usually from Zero, to the MAX VALUE of your Travel, where as the Potentiometer will Start with a High Value or Low Value, depending on how they are Installed and Move to the Opposite Value..
Also, due to Backlash, you might get Different Results from the Encoders and Potentiometers when reaching the Same Point, depending on the Direction of Travel.
Encoders will Most Likely need a Limit Switch at Each End of the Travel, so as to know when you reached it.
A "placement repeatability" test can be formed, Say for Instance, if You Know your Encoder is Started at Zero, and counts through 1267, you run the Travel from One Limit Switch to the Other, Multiple Times. If the Counts consistently reach Zero and 1267, at the Respective Ends, your "placement repeatability" is Really Good. If it is kind of close, say it Varies at the Zero End from +5 to -7, you then have a Range that you know is "close" to the End", and any Points in the Middle of Your Travel, can be OFF by that Range...
Potentiometer might need Limit Switches as well, and a "placement repeatability" test can be performed on them as well.
If you have "placement repeatability" Issues, and Limit Switches at Both End of Travel, you might need to:
Reset the Encoders to Zero and Always Count Up, rather than Count Back Down, and have Separate "Look-up Tables", for each Direction.
Sample the Potentiometer at the Limit Switch when at Each End of Travel and have Separate "Look-up Tables", for each Direction.
If "placement repeatability" is Off by a Range that is within your Margin of Error, there is not likely much reason to change anything..
Then by Making a Table to match the Encoders and Potentiometers values at the same Position/Location, you can then know when your Motors are at the correct place..
Good Luck in getting everything working..
( A Critical Example of "placement repeatability" is in Pick-n-Place machines, especially ones that assemble very small electronic devices...)

Tulpas, Fairies, and the Jinn (Djinn)
Written by Rick Hale
As paranormal investigators, I believe we have two very important jobs when conducting investigations. The first is observe, document and report. The second, which to me is the most important, is to demystify the mysterious and alleviate the fear of the unknown. Fear can be a very powerful force and is mankind's oldest emotion. Fear can teach you to respect an unknown situation or it can cripple a person's life to the point of despair and sadly suicide. So when considering the field of paranormal research, I have one question: Why all the fear?
When you watch the paranormal reality shows, one of the most popular things that is discussed frequently are dark spiritual beings that are out to destroy lives … of course I speak of demons. Nothing raises ratings quicker than scaring the hell out of people with reprobate beings sent from the very bowels of Hell on a mission to crush, kill and destroy.
I'm not going to sit here and say that inhuman entities do not exist, but I just don't buy into the whole, "fallen angel" thingy. With that being said, I do believe that there are inhuman entities, meaning spiritual beings that never walked the earth in the flesh. Through my own research I have identified three spiritual beings that may represent inhuman spirits. They are the good, the bad and the ugly.
Alexandra David Neel (pictured) was a French spiritualist and world explorer who had a special love for the Far East. In 1924, as she was traveling through Tibet, she discovered a sect of Tibetan Buddhist monks that had some pretty esoteric beliefs and practiced mysticism.
After spending some time with the Tibetan Buddhists she discovered that the monks were able to construct a being through sheer will power and discipline. They were able to give this being life, and this being did their bidding. The being was a Tulpa, and Alexandra David Neel just had to have one. Even if it led to some very bad things.
Legend says that Neel did in fact create one of these beings. People who came into contact with Neel reported an attractive young monk in her presence that seemed to be a servant of some kind. As time went on, the attractive young monk turned into an overweight, foul-mouthed pervert that tried to make Neel's life miserable. Neel fortunately was able to will the being away.
In Western occultism a Tulpa is called a thoughtform and can be used to do both good and bad. A thoughtform is created much in the same way as a Tulpa, through will power and a whole lot of magic. I believe that I may have dealt with one of these thoughtforms early in my time as an investigator. I feel that this being was created through black magic and placed as a curse upon the person that needed help. This being appeared as a giant black shadow and made this poor girl's life hell. I witnessed this huge shadow being and was even shoved by it. Regrettably, I was unable to help this girl.
When the Roman Empire marched into the wilds of Northern Europe to acquire lands for the Emperor, they ran into some pretty heavy-duty opposition. The Germanic and Celtic tribes put up quite a fight and won many battles against the Empire, ultimately resulting in the downfall of the Empire. Much of what is written about the Pagan peoples of Northern Europe can be regarded as propaganda, except for their spiritual beliefs.
The Romans discovered that the tribes, specifically the Celts, had a complex belief system in a wide variety of spiritual beings: the Gentry, the Good Folk or the Fey, whatever you want to call them — we in the West call them fairies.
Fairies were creatures that came in many different forms and represented the different elements. The Celts feared and respected these beings. They could be helpful at times, doing such things as helping with day-to-day household chores to protecting travelers. But these beings had a dark side and God help the person that pissed off one of these beings. An angry fairy could spoil milk, kill livestock and steal children, leaving in their place a hideous being called a "Changeling."
When the Roman empire transformed into the Holy Roman Empire, the belief of the Northern European peoples in these beings was suppressed. Fairies were now considered demonic entities, and it was said that their underground kingdom of Annwn may have been the prototype for Hell. One of the major gods in Celtic belief was Cernnunos, a horned redskinned badass. Sound familiar? It should. Cernnunos was what eventually became our idea of Satan. Some still believe in these old ways, believing that the Fey are pretty upset by being turned into these demonic creatures — so much so that they enjoy raising a little hell every once in a while.
The Jinn
Here in the West our idea of the Jinn (or Djinn) has been mainly shaped by two different sources. The first is I Dream of Jeannie, a popular TV show from the 1960s. I loved it. Our second source is Robin Williams putting on his most annoying performance as the blue-skinned, ADD-afflicted genie of Walt Disney's Aladdin. Although these representations are all in good fun, they do not properly represent the real Jinn — a being not to be trifled with.
A major figure in Islamic and pre-Islamic folklore, the Jinn was a special class of being created by Allah from a scorching smokeless fire. The Jinn were less than angels but slightly more powerful than man.
It is believed that the Jinn inhabit a world just beyond the perception of mankind. It is believed that these Jinn can leave Jinnland (my name for it) and interact with mankind. Reportedly, the Jinn can be a major help or a major pain in the ass if not shown the proper respect. The Jinn that we know are not about granting wishes and acting on the whim of a master, but rather a powerful spiritual being that can cause wanton destruction.
These three classes of spiritual beings are just an alternative offered to explain these supposed demonic entities that are supposedly hiding around every corner looking for a hapless victim to possess or control. Or, they may very well be the pitchfork-wielding, red-jammied minions of the prince of darkness. No one really knows for sure.

[BE2012SP2] SPS GRT Index Catalog creation EXTREMELY slow
We're using BE2012 to backup our SharePoint 2010. Within the backup job we use the "Granular Recovery Technology (GRT)" as it is very important for us to also be able to restore individual items.
Suddenly the "Catalog Job" which starts after the backup itself took ages (several days!!) with an average job rate between 0 and 1 MB/Min.
We're running this backup to disk and nothing was changed before that catalog job started to creep (it worked well for a couple of month before!).
I hoped that the Service Pack 2 of Backup Exec 2012 would solve this problem. So we decided to install this update on our media server and all servers with remote agent - but without success!
So does anybody has a solution for this issue? I only read several posts reporting the same issue - but all without a solution...
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
No change in the disk activity on the media server or SharePoint server.
We're only applying the regular Microsoft updates on our servers.
As soon as I uncheck the GRT option the backup works fast and without any problems.
With checked GRT option the backup itself is fast as well but the catalog job on the media server is damned slow.

Dad says sorry for stealing cash from church collection
Dad and daughter carried out bedsit robbery
Posted: November 07, 2009|
ROBBERS Matthew Scott and his daughter Sophie Manning were today behind bars after attacking and stealing from two men.
Scott, aged 33, was convicted of two counts of robbery after a trial in September at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court, during which Manning gave evidence against him.
The seventeen-year-old admitted two counts of robbery.
Yesterday Scott, pictured, of Dilhorne Grove, Dresden, was given an extended sentence of six years and told he must complete a further four years on licence.
Manning, of Selwyn Street, Stoke, was given a two-year detention and training order.
The court was told that Scott and Manning went with Scott's brother, Christopher Scott, to a bedsit in Liverpool Road, Stoke, at around 7pm on April 4.
The court was told the three of them gained access to Mantsigi Johnson's flat as Manning said she knew him because he had supplied her with cannabis.
But once inside, Mr Johnson and his friend Carim Ahmed were threatened by Scott and his brother who demanded money.
When the pair did not hand any money over, the threats were reinforced with violence.
Nick Tatlow, prosecuting, said: "Mr Ahmed was hit on the head with an ashtray and suffered cuts to his face.
"Manning robbed both men of their mobile phones and stole Mr Johnson's watch. She said she was acting on the directions of her father and that she was scared of him."
Patrick Thompson, defending Manning, said: "She had the courage and good sense to give evidence against her father during the trial and deserves substantial credit for that."
The court heard that Scott has a number of previous convictions, including robbery in 2005 when he threatened three customers in a takeaway with a meat cleaver and stole cash and phones from them.
Jabeen Akhtar, defending Scott, said: "It was not his intention to go there and rob anyone. It came out in evidence during the trial that he said he had a bit of a chat with the two complainants and showed them his tattoos.
"He became involved as the event unfolded but did not commit any violence or take any items from the flat.
"He has a wife of 15 years and five children and realises he has to start to put his offending behind him.
"He has put his time in prison to good use and since his last release has started a diploma in sociology."
Judge Robert Trevor-Jones, said to Scott: "This is not the first time you've committed a robbery and I consider you to present a danger to the public."
He said to Manning: "I'm satisfied that your father and uncle were the moving forces, but your role was key because you knew how to gain access to that flat and I believe you knew what was planned even though you may not have been aware of the degree of force to be used."
Christopher Scott has yet to be arrested by the police.

Yesterday we brought you a story about a law school from upstate New York. The pace is supposed to be a little slower and people's lives are supposed to be a little less scandalous in that part of the state, at least compared to New York City. But all of that goes out the window when a law school apparently replaces almost all of its (well-respected) admissions staff, at a time when many members of the administration carry the word "interim" in their position titles.
Now some alumni are upset and threatening to withhold funds from the school (like they actually have any funds to withhold). You're doing it wrong, Albany Law School.
When we reached out to David Singer, Albany Law's Director of Communications & Marketing, he gave us a quick "no comment," stating that the situation with the admissions office staff was "a personnel matter." But our readers certainly weren't short on comments, and we now believe we know more about what might have happened at the Albany Law School admissions office….
Shortly after we published our piece wondering what went down at the Albany Law admissions office, Interim President and Dean Connie Mayer sent this email to students at the school:
After over twenty years of dedicated service, Gail Bensen, Assistant Dean for Admissions, has resigned. We wish Dean Bensen well in her future endeavors. The search for Dean Bensen's replacement will begin immediately.
Victoria J. Dutcher came on board today as our Interim Assistant Dean for Admissions. Victoria is formerly an admissions consultant and Vice-President with Noel-Levitz. She is currently the President of Williams & Company, a firm that provides executive search services and interim placements for enrollment managers. We look forward to working with Victoria over the next few months to find and transition a new Assistant Dean.
Talk about quick damage control. Albany Law probably could've controlled a little bit more damage if Singer had spilled the beans about the resignation of Gail Bensen (instead of refusing to comment). Singer opened the door for us to believe that the school had actually canned most or all of the admissions office staff, simply because he didn't deny the allegations.
But if Bensen actually resigned, as the law school claims she did, what happened to the rest of the admissions office staff? And why was only one member of the previous staff left standing? Maybe Dean Mayer sought to cover the school's ass instead of wishing Bensen well, because we received several tips from readers questioning the voluntary nature of Bensen's departure. For example:
Last week the entire admissions staff was escorted out by security. This is in regards to a complaint/pending litigation by a current employee (the only one still listed on the site) in the admissions office regarding two colleagues (not the Asst. Dean, Gail Bensen) creating a hostile work environment. I have heard the comments regarded the weight of the individual.
The speculation is that the Board of Trustees/Administration may have approached Gail Bensen and asked her to fire the two individuals, and she refused, which caused everyone to get axed. But I am unsure of that.
Did Bensen resign in lieu of firing Lisa Swartwood and Ashley Fluster? And if those girls were making comments about Kimberley Hawley's weight, you've got to wonder why, since they're pretty, but not exactly supermodel material. (The only thing I'd pick on is why Hawley's hairstylist tried to make her look like a low-budget, upstate version of Melanie Griffith in Working Girl.)
If an actual lawsuit has been or will be filed, we'd love to see a copy of it. If a lawsuit didn't materialize, and only the threat of one existed, this whole situation seems a bit unfair, don't you think?
If you have any additions or corrections to our coverage, please email us (subject line: "Albany Law School"). Thanks.

As his 7-year-old son Mikey lay in a hospital bed on life support, the victim of a drunk driver who had smashed into the car he was riding in, Paul Cortez took the boy's hand and made a solemn promise to God: If his son survived, no matter in what condition, he and his family would always be there for him. Although he would never emerge from the persistent vegetative state his father had found him in that night, Mikey's family was not only there for him but also gave him a full life. A life, as it turned out, not all that different from anybody else's, with cross-country family vacations and visits to Disneyland. (AP Photo/Courtesy Cortez Family)

Robyn Ross visits a Texas town that's home to 113-million-year-old fossilized dino tracks:
In the beginning, God created dinosaurs and humans, and they walked together in Texas. At least, according to many people in Glen Rose. The small town about 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth is home to some of the best-preserved dinosaur tracks in the world; it's also a heavily Christian community where many locals interpret the book of Genesis literally. Their belief is bolstered by a phenomenon in the riverbed. Alongside the dinosaur tracks are what resident R.C. McFall and others call "man tracks"—tangible proof of biblical creation accounts and a refutation of the theory of evolution.
… According to geologists, the rock layer near Glen Rose containing fossilized dinosaur footprints is 113 million years old. Dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago, about 60 million years before the earliest humans appeared. So what are the riverbed man tracks? The answer comes from amateur paleontologist Glen Kuban, who's studied those tracks since the '80s. They're actually more dinosaur tracks, Kuban says.
What do you do when people use religion to perpetrate empirical untruth? In a free country not much. But on this kind of issue, it seems to me that Hitchens was right. These people need to be mocked mercilessly for ignorance and stupidity. This isn't faith. It's bullshit. And yet in this advanced country, it's everywhere – and one political party panders to it.

Welcome ToMAKEUP.COM
May 9, 2012

Each week our no-holds-barred beauty blogger Grace Gold picks apart a hot topic beauty story. It's our version of an op-ed…with lipstick, laser treatments, and eyeliner.
We often see celebrities on the cover of tabloids with a headline tearing them apart for daring to step outside sans makeup. But politicians? This is new.
Hillary Clinton is making media waves for stepping out in public with just a swipe of lip color, glasses, and a—gasp!—otherwise bare face. While the Secretary of State diligently worked diplomatic relations in China and India, maintaining an itinerary that would leave any human half her age pleading for an intravenous drip of Starbucks, the 64-year-old decided to save some time and go au naturale.
While Fox News accused Clinton of looking "tired and withdrawn," Suzi Parker of The Washington Post called it "refreshing" and said she "looked like a school girl—the Hillary in her granola college days at Wellesley."
Meanwhile, Clinton reacted to the media blare by telling CNN, "I feel so relieved to be at the stage I'm at in my life right now, because you know if I want to wear my glasses, I'm wearing my glasses. If I want to wear my hair back, I'm pulling my hair back. You know, at some point it's just not something that deserves a lot of time and attention."
And like her well-documented love of scrunchies and proclivity for wide-cloth headbands, I consider this yet another installment on the "You go girl!" list of things that Clinton pulls off with her unique brand of confidence and savvy.
It's an invigorating departure from the pancake makeup, helmet-head styles and orange spray tans we've come to expect from politicians trying to strike that perfect note of hopefully-not-offending-anyone. How awesome is it to see a flash of the "real" Hillary, completely at ease in her own skin, and looking a lot more like the rest of us.
Her reaction is a reminder that women should be allowed to have other things on their list of priorities, besides makeup—and hair scrunchies and wide-cloth headbands.
Makeup can be a fun, creative way to express and adorn yourself, but it shouldn't be a requirement for navigating your day as a woman. (Though studies have shown that going bare may affect how people perceive you professionally.)
Sometimes it's a red lipstick or winged eyeliner day, and sometimes it's a bare-faced and bespectacled Hillary day. And it should be respectable to rock both.?
What are your thoughts on Hillary Makeupgate?
<3 scrunchies!! <3 Hillary
Hilary for President! Oh wait, no, Hilary for WORLD DOMINATRIX!

Look below for the Spring cleaning tips & inspiration round up of 2014!
Here is an amazing Spring Cleaning List! One is already made or one in categories for you but blank to fill in over at A Time For Seasons
I love AtHomeWithNikki She is an awesome organizer & truly inspires me. Here are some suggested videos to help you prepare for spring cleaning & not to be over whelming. It's a great system to make it run smoother.
Nikki also has a very in-depth Spring Cleaning list and mentions things such as oil your door hinges for example stuff we often forget to do! You can find her list here... to download for your self.
I found that Virginia over at LiveLoveDIY has some amazing cleaning uses this Spring for white Vinegar! Check it out here....
I want to welcome Lindsay from theleangreenbean She is going to show you 12 things you may of never thought to clean this Spring that you probably should!
Some of these are obvious…but some are things I never really think about and as such, rarely clean!
Here's my list:
1) Contact Case – Don't reuse your solution. Empty the case each time you put your contacts in and refill with fresh solution when taking them out. You can also rinse the case with solution and wipe dry between uses. Replace your case every 3 months or so. Read this article for more info.
2) Phone – We're on our phones all the time, making them one of our dirtiest accessories. Wipe them clean with a disinfectant wipe or use cotton swabs with rubbing alcohol to clean around buttons, phone cases, etc.
3) Trashcan – You're putting trash into it…and it doesn't all always make it into the bag. Germs can spill over the side, splash onto the lid, etc. Wipe it clean every time you take out the trash!
Read more of Lindsay's tips here.....

See Red Carpet Affair's spring fashions at PSL Business Women's luncheon
PORT ST. LUCIE - Looking for something to brighten and update your wardrobe? You'll find plenty of ideas at the 23rd annual Port St. Lucie Business Women's Luncheon and Fashion Show on April 20 at Harbour Ridge Yacht & Country Club in Palm City. Fabulous spring fashions worthy of this "Red Carpet Affair" will be provided by White House/Black Market, Chico's and Men's Wearhouse.
For women new styles include graphic geometric prints, such as polka dots, stripes, zigzags, and abstract designs, both large and small, patterning everything from blouses to slacks. Soft, romantic florals, feminine embroidery and beaded details are another spring/summer design trend.
A layered look is in, with jackets and cardigans having lots of neat details, such as bold zippers, fancy metal studs and jeweled buttons, and vests with fringe or lace. Even shorts are being paired with matching jackets.
And the color trends found on the big city fashion runways and on the tropical Treasure Coast? Think bold and bright colors in high contrast combinations. Lilac and iris paired with sea glass makes a vibrant and feminine statement, and always black and white. Actually, designers have put the emphasis on contrasting black and white outfits, which can be worn year-round and are versatile and sleek enough for the office or on a night on the town. Of course, there are standard neutrals ranging from rich brown to soft beige and light gray, but these are now mixed with light pink.
A new hemline that is above the knee in front and longer in the back has made its debut. Tops with cutouts and sheer fabrics make up a category of peek-a-boo pieces.
And what's new for menswear? Gangnam style is hip, as well as slimmer cut jackets with shorter torsos and smaller lapels. For spring/summer, pastel-colored shirts and clothing with checked patterns dominate.
Men's Wearhouse will include formal, casual and business casual clothing for the male models men participating in the Fashion Show. The store is located at 2730 NW Federal Highway in Stuart. White House/Black Market in Treasure Coast Square mall and Chico's, located at 3730 SE Ocean Blvd. in Stuart, are providing women's wear for the Fashion Show.
Modeling the fashions will be well-known leaders from the local government and business community, including Ken Pruitt, St. Lucie County Property Appraiser; Larry Lee, Jr., Florida State Representative; Mitch Kloorfain, photographer; Aileen Pruitt, Florida Market manager for community development banking, PNC Bank; Staci A. Storms, CEO, Realtors Association of St. Lucie, Inc.; Cheryl Caldwell, president, Pink Tie Friends, Inc.; Arlene Brown, owner, Ally Parker Brown Title Insurance Agency; Melissa DePriest, development coordinator, Indian River State College Education Foundation Inc.; Faye W. Outlaw, St. Lucie County Administrator; Nancy Hilton, Chief Nursing Officer, St. Lucie Medical Center; Joyce Nix, regional manager, Suntrust Bank (retired); and Jackie Holfelder, assistant editor, Luminaries. Lynda Hartley Urban will emcee the event.
Tickets for the Luncheon and Fashion Show cost $45 per person. Contact Ellen Falk at (772) 342-7701, or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Educating young girls in Darfur, Sudan; CWS-led effort will help flood-displaced families in Iowa return home; Displaced Pakistanis receiving assistance; End-of-year giving with CWS
Download a PDF version: In English | En español | English bulletin insert
Darfur, Sudan
Fatima Abakir is the proud headmistress of the Girls' Basic School at Dereig, near Nyala in Darfur, Sudan. Dereig is a camp for some of the people displaced by the violence in Darfur.
A new 12-room school--built by the ACT-Caritas coalition, of which Church World Service is a member--is replacing a temporary structure that had a straw roof and was no match for tropical storms. A local workshop built sturdy desks and chairs for the new school.
Educators teach girls from both Dereig Camp and the community of Nyala, bringing together displaced children with those from the local community. Twenty students have graduated and gone on to further education and training.
Says Abakir, "The girls are taught Arabic, Islamic religious knowledge, geography, history, science, but their favorite subject is… English language!"
From somewhere deep within, Abakir and the children are finding the courage to build anew.
Since 2005, CWS has supported the ACT/Caritas coalition in Darfur, helping to provide emergency, livelihood, and educational assistance, as well as a safer environment, for women and girls in the region.
Cedar Rapids, IA
"The disasters here in Iowa have fallen off the radar screen for many people, but the needs are still great," says Rev. Michael Stadie, disaster response manager for Lutheran Services in Iowa. For many in Cedar Rapids, the damage to their homes from the flooding of June 2008 is still a fact of life, and further assistance is critical to helping them rebuild their homes and lives.
To help meet these needs, Church World Service is bringing together volunteers and resources from at least 10 agencies from across the U.S. and Canada, April 12 through May 21, 2010, for a rebuilding project dubbed "Neighborhood: Cedar Rapids."
Stay tuned for more information on this exciting ecumenical rebuilding project--or ecu-build--and an opportunity for your group to be part of the effort.
Church World Service is continuing to assist families displaced by violence in Swat district and Waziristan province, northern Pakistan, as they face challenges in meeting basic food, health care, and other needs.
Most of the displaced families in the city of Dera Ismail Khan, North West Frontier Province, and surrounding areas are living with host families. With limited resources for the people who already live in these areas, the huge influx of displaced people makes basic necessities even more scarce. Displaced and host families are facing extreme hardship, worsened by the winter's cold temperatures.
CWS is distributing food packages and non-food items in Dera Ismail Khan and is continuing health services for displaced families in Swabi, Mansehra and Abbottabad.
Health services for women are particularly critical given cultural norms that make it difficult for them to access healthcare. CWS is providing essential pre and post natal care to mothers. Earlier this month the health team in Mansehra assisted in the delivery of two healthy babies, a boy and a girl.
Make the most of 2009
As 2009 draws to a close, please remember Church World Service in your end-of-year gifts. Your gift could help Fatima Abakir and her young pupils in Darfur, Sudan, learn how to read. Your gift could help baby Younas and his mother in Pakistan have a healthy and safe start to life. Please give generously—your gifts change lives!
Church World Service wishes you and yours a safe and happy New Year and looks forward to bringing help and hope into the lives of many in 2010 and beyond!
Your support for Church World Service work around the world and in the U.S. is urgently needed.

We Are All Andy Borowitz Now.
Washington's Most Powerful, Least Famous People
October 12, 2011
Welcome to TNR's 2011 List Issue. In putting the issue together, we had one major priority: to avoid creating a power list featuring anyone who regularly dominates headlines. Instead, we had a different idea: What if we revealed something about D.C. by documenting who quietly wields power? From there, we began to hatch other ideas for lists, and we realized that—while they can certainly be cheap gimmicks—lists can also convey a lot about a city. Below is the first list from the issue: Washington's most powerful, least famous people.
January 06, 2010
--Mark Leibovich on Charlie Crist (who I say is doomed, doomed, at least as a Republican.) --Sarah Palin's emails --Poor Gordon Brown looks left out by Sarkozy and Obama --Amanda Silverman on the Washington Post's new reporting outsource quasi-scandal
Chris Matthews Isn't Over It
August 27, 2009
On MSNBC's Morning Joe today, Joe Scarborough hosted a panel that included Chris Matthews and New York Times managing editor Jill Abramson. As the discussion was coming to a close, the subject of this morning's (excellent) New York Times story about Ted Kennedy's final days came up. The comprehensive piece was written by Mark Leibovich, the same Times reporter who wrote a much-discussed and extremely enjoyable profile of Matthews last year. Here is the amusing transcript: Chris M.: [To Abramson] By the way, congratultions on Mark Leibovich's piece.
Can't Get Through To Rahm? Try The President...
January 24, 2009
Mark Leibovich has a funny anecdote in his terrific profile of the White House chief of staff: At a White House gathering with Mr. Obama and a bipartisan team of lawmakers on Friday, the House majority leader, Steny Hoyer, joked that Mr. Emanuel was too busy to talk to him, so he called the president instead. Mr. Obama said he was always happy to take calls for his chief of staff — a reference to an incident a few weeks ago when Mr. Hoyer called Mr. Emanuel, who was in the back of a car and claimed he was too busy to talk, so he handed the phone to Mr. Obama.
