Put your animal pictures in frame for top prizes
Posted: May 10, 2012|
BUDDING photographers who are interested in animal welfare are being urged to get snapping for charity.
The RSPCA Bristol Branch and Bristol Dogs and Cats Home is running a "Five Freedoms" photographic competition.
The local animal welfare charity has launched the competition, with the winners being announced at their open day event on Saturday, May 26, to help raise funds and awareness of animal welfare needs.
To enter the competition photographs must represent one of the RSPCA Five Freedoms.
The charity believes that anyone who looks after animals should try to give them the following five freedoms: freedom from hunger and thirst; freedom from discomfort; freedom from pain, injury and disease; freedom to express normal behaviour and freedom from fear and distress.
Jill Roynon, fundraising manager at the charity, said: "Entries will be divided into junior photographers, under 16 years, and adult photographers, and will be judged separately.
"The top photo from each Freedom Class will be featured on our website and at Bristol Dogs & Cats Home, while the best overall photograph in the adult and junior categories will receive some fabulous prizes."
Entry to the competition costs £1 per photograph. Contestants can submit five photos for £4.
All money raised will help rescue, rehabilitate and re-home animals in need.
Entry forms can be picked up from the Bristol Dogs & Cats Home or downloaded from their website, www.rspca-bristoldogsandcatshome. org.uk.
Photographs and entry forms need to be sent in no later than Friday of next week.

PAT CAPUTO: Not An Impressive Performance By MSU But Won't Matter In Long Run For Spartans

After sharing the Big Ten title last season for the first time since 1990, and beating Michigan for the third straight year, Michigan State opened its college football season Friday night at Spartan Stadium.
The game was sold out. Didn't look like there was an empty seat in the house, which is unusual for a season opener in East Lansing against a non-descript opponent like Youngstown State.

Current Research:
Nitasha Tamar Sharma's academic activities are based on an interdisciplinary, comparative, and ethnographic approach to the study of difference, inequality, and racism. The central goal of her teaching, research, and writing is to develop models for multiracial alliance building by zeroing in on cultural phenomena that unearth and challenge the factors that structure contentious race relations. Dr. Sharma is writing her second book, Hidden Hapas: Multiracial Blacks and Blackness in Hawai'i. This ethnography is based on interviews with 60 non-White mixed race Blacks in Hawai'i, including Black Hawaiians, Black Samoans, and Black Okinawans to analyze how mixed race people negotiate, express, and repress race as they identify across constructed racial categories. This work speaks to debates in Mixed Race Studies, Comparative Race Studies, and Diaspora Studies to analyze Blackness in the Pacific and offer new theories of belonging that emerge from the intersection of race and indigeneity.
Her first book, Hip Hop Desis: South Asian Americans, Blackness, and a Global Race Consciousness (Duke University Press 2010), analyzes how second generation members of an upwardly mobile and middle-class immigrant group use hip hop to develop racial--and not just ethnic--identities. The racial consciousness expressed by these hip hop artists as "people of color" facilitates the development of multiracial coalitions that cross boundaries while explicitly acknowledging "difference."
Dr. Sharma teaches courses on Hip Hop, Asian/Black Relations in the U.S., The Mixed Race Experience, and Race, Crime, and Punishment: The Border, Prisons, and Post-9/11 Detentions, and Ethnographies of Immigration, Race, and Immigration.

For many decorating your home in Christmas lights is a holiday tradition, but what we find festive can be a serious hazard to wildlife.
Each year wildlife officers are called out to rural areas to help animals that have become caught in wired lights or decorations. But most of these incidents can be prevented by following some simple tips.
here are a few: only string lights on larger diameter trees;
trees with smaller trunk diameters are more likely to be rubbed by bucks which will in turn end up with lights tangled in their antlers.
Use multiple short strands of wire plugged together versus one long strand so that if animals become entangled they'll be less wire to deal with. And place some flagging along the wired decorations so that deer can see where the wire is and avoid it.
If an animal does get caught in you holiday decorations do not approach or try to help it. Call the Division Of Wildlife and let them handle the situation. One of the greatest hazards to an entangled animal can be a well-meaning citizen.

CANTON The Ogdensburg man accused of stealing more than $17,000 in forged checks from a priest is behind bars after he was arrested for another alleged forgery.
Jesse G. Austin, 34, of 212 Montgomery St., returned to St. Lawrence County Court on Monday after he was picked up on a warrant following his arrest by Ogdensburg police for allegedly being part of a prescription drug forgery Sept. 16, a violation of the probation terms under which he was released by County Judge Jerome J. Richards on July 29.
Mr. Austin pleaded not guilty July 29 to charges of third-degree grand larceny and nine counts of criminal possession of a forged instrument, all class D felonies, for allegedly stealing and cashing $17,460 in nine separate checks on nine separate dates from Dec. 21 to April 1 from the Community Bank N.A. account of the Rev. Edward E. Papp.
He was released under probation supervision and has been brought before Judge Richards twice on bench warrants for allegedly violating the terms of that release. On Aug. 19, he was in County Court for not reporting to probation as instructed and not giving a phone number where he could be reached, and on Monday, he was in court again in connection with his recent arrest on a forgery charge with Melissa L. McLear, 31, of 623 State St., Ogdensburg.
Mr. Austin is facing charges of second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, a class A misdemeanor, after Dr. James Edmond, Clifton Park, discovered that prescriptions that he hadnt endorsed had been stolen from his office, forged and then filled for Ritalin and Suboxone at pharmacies in Ogdensburg. He called police and an investigation began Sept. 11.
Ms. McLear is a patient of Dr. Edmonds.
Detective Sgt. Robert H. Wescott said it was speculation that Mr. Austin and Ms. McLear used the drugs.
Monday, Judge Richards sent Mr. Austin to St. Lawrence County jail without bail. He is scheduled to reappear at a later date.

Justin Bieber's BFF Being Blamed for Pot Controversy: Who Is Lil Twist?
Ever since photos of Justin Bieber smoking what appeared to be marijuana emerged on January 4, one name keeps coming up as his bad influence: his best friend, Lil Twist.
The 19-year-old rapper is the same person who was behind the wheel of the singer's Ferrari on January 1 when a paparazzo was struck by a car and killed while trying to snap a photo of what he thought was Bieber being pulled over by police on a Los Angeles freeway.
Lil Twist, a native of Dallas, and Bieber have been friends for years, but only recently have people begun to question his impact on the "Beauty and the Beat" singer. After all, Lil Twist – whose Twitter profile photo is of him smoking, um, something – reportedly rolled the blunts that 18-year-old Bieber and his friends were smoking in a Newport Beach, California, hotel room on January 2. According to TMZ, those in Bieber's camp are "deeply concerned that Twist has become a powerful negative influence in his life and feel very strongly Justin needs a clean break from the rapper or else bad things are going to happen."
So who is this Lil Twist who has supposedly been making big trouble for Bieber?
He's Lil Wayne's Protégé
With a name like Lil Twist, it makes perfect sense that he's working under Lil Wayne, who signed the youngster to his Young Money Records after he opened for him in 2007. But six years later, the artist (born: Christopher Moore) still has not released a full-length album. However, he has put out a number of mix tapes that seem to be popular with teeny-boppers … which he likely has Bieber to thank for. His debut, Don't Get It Twisted, is slated to be released in the spring. The first single, "Do What I Want," features 2 Chainz.
He's Covered in Tattoos
Besides their shared love of partying (and wearing pants with baggy crotches), Lil Twist and Bieber also have a thing for tattoos … and lots of them! As we know, the singer has many, including the two he got in the past month alone, but he has nowhere near as many as his BFF. Lil Twist got his first in May 2009 – when he was 16! – with his boss Lil Wayne standing by. In a video posted online, the scrawny teen is seen nervously fidgeting in a chair just before the tattoo artist takes the needle to his skin. "Breathe, you just gotta breathe," Lil Wayne tells Twist, before teasing him for clutching a small toy for comfort. "Pain is a part of life you have to go through … that's something you're learning about yourself." Nearly four years later, Twist's arms are practically covered: graffiti-style "Hip Hop" is scrawled on a brick wall on his left forearm, while his right has a huge cross and the words "Believe," just like the one Bieber has. Twist also has the Young Money logo inked on the back of his neck.
He's Dated a Teen Star – Just Like Bieber
Bieber and Lil Twist also seem to have a thing for teen starlets. Just like Bieber and former Disney queen Selena Gomez, the rapper reportedly had a two-year relationship with Keke Palmer, the star of Nickelodeon's "True Jackson, VP," until 2010, although not much is known about the romance. Since 2011, he's been linked to actress Paige Hurd, who was on "Everybody Hates Chris" for three seasons.
He's Popular on Social Media
He may not have quite as many Twitter followers as Bieber – who has a staggering 32 million – but Twist's footprint on the micro-blogging site is pretty impressive with nearly 1.2 million followers, over 3 million likes on Facebook, and nearly 400,000 followers on Instagram. Those who are a fan of the rapper on Twitter are treated to re-tweets of fans telling him how much they love him (mostly Bieber fans) as well as boasting about his lavish trips, most recently to Mexico with Bieber. His Instagram is similar: On December 27, he posted a photo of his Louis Vuitton luggage as he jetted off to the West Coast. A week earlier, he uploaded a shot as he drove a Ferrari … presumably the same one Bieber often lets him borrow. He also posts many behind-the-scenes shots of his life as Bieber's BFF, including one from New Year's Eve of him pouring them both a glass of champagne, along with the hashtag #YoungRichGang.
He Appeared in Bieber's "Baby" Video
Lil Twist may not have much of a music career himself, but he's done a good job of piggy-backing off Bieber. He made a blink-and-you-missed-it cameo in the singer's 2010 video for "Baby" playing one of the Biebs' friends (including Drake!) who watch him try not to strike out with a pretty girl while bowling.
Lil Twist's rep did not respond to a request from "omg!" for comment on the controversy involving Bieber.

I think breastfeeding is a wonderful thing. I don't mind in the slightest seeing a mom in a store or restaurant feeding her baby. However, I think the breastfeeding craze has gotten a little out of hand — or has it? A recent Ricki Lake film shined the spotlight on the act of lactating. Her… Read more »

Players prepare to perform Pratchett favourite
Posted: May 12, 2012|
THE Sodbury Players are putting on a performance of the Discworld play Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett.
They will be performing the play, which has been adapted for the stage by Stephen Briggs, from May 16 to 19 at Chipping Sodbury Town Hall at 7.30pm.
Guards! Guards! is a fantasy comedy based on Terry Pratchett's best selling Discworld novel of the same name.
It tells the story of the slightly inept Night Watch of the great city of Ankh-Morpork as they attempt to unravel the mystery surrounding the appearance of a fire breathing dragon, hell bent on taking the city for itself.
Director Rob Creer said: "I have been a fan of Terry Pratchett's Disc- world for the last 22 years and the Night Watch have always been firm favourites with me. It's been a real joy to bring these characters to life. The play itself is full of jokes and satire of our own world, which is very insightful."
Spokesman James Murden said: "We are extremely excited about this show and ticket sales are doing well, partly thanks to Sir Terry himself tweeting about our production."
Tickets cost £8 and concessions are £7.
They are available from the box office on 0844 332 0230 or the website www.sodburyplayers.org.uk.

No holiday season is complete without a trip to the emergency room, am I right? Parents and people with icy steps and drunk uncles everywhere are unwillingly nodding in agreement.
Today I brought Gutsy to our local children's hospital. We suspected pneumonia (he's had it several times for some unknown reason), but thankfully it just turned out to be a very long, very rotten cold. He's in bed now, and every time he coughs I wince and create worry lines on my beautiful face. Welcome to the premature aging process called motherhood.
Speaking of which, while were waiting for the doctor, I came across a handy-dandy chart of faces in various stages of distress. Gutsy said, "I think it's so little kids can tell them how much pain they're in."
Seemingly valid use, but I call bullshit. I think they stole this thing from a parent support group. The therapist probably gets distraught mothers and fathers to point at it when they're too emotional to use their words - which, in my case, would be often.
See those faces? I have made all of those faces.
0. The face I make when I gaze upon my cooperative little children and forget anything before 10 minutes ago. I'm pretty sure this forgetfulness is a mammalian trait that ensures the survival of our species.
2. This is the face I made every morning for the first 18 months of all my children's lives as I stumbled blurry-eyed to the coffee pot.
4. And this is the face I made when I realized we were out of coffee.
6. Poop in the bath. I am weeping because there is poop in the fucking bath.
8. That's how I looked every time Spawnling bit another kid at playgroup. There's no 9, but the time he hit a friend's kid across the face with a truck and made him bleed all over his mom's white designer sweater? That was a 9.
My only complaint is that there's no 12. Clearly the person who made this has never stepped on Lego.

On a Saturday afternoon that seemed destined for a great lacrosse game, the #2-Gettysburg Bullets traveled down to Chestertown, MD to face the #3-Washington Shoremen. Coming off their first loss of the season to #1-Middlebury, the Bullets were looking to rebound against a more than formidable opponent in the Shoremen. This game has become a great D3 rivalry because both are consistently top ten teams and this is a conference game with serious Centennial Conference and NCAA playoff implications. Both teams tend to be the favorites, year in and year out, to win the conference (either Washington or Gettysburg have won the conference since its inception in 1994). It would be safe to say that the winner of today's game would most likely have the honor of hosting the Centennial Conference Championship at the end of April which holds a ticket for the winner to the big dance in May.
Washington College opened the scoring at the 12:59 mark when #14-Jon Fellows scored unassisted as he drove with his right hand from behind the goal and wrapped it in around Gettysburg goalie #6-Tim McGinnis. The Shoremen would go up 2-0 at the 9:48 mark when attackman #21-Craig Rentch scored unassisted. Gettysburg would answer with their only goal of the first quarter when midfielder #5-Nick Purkat scored unassisted on an invert when he ran by his man finishing in close on Washington College goalie #4-Alex Pirani. The first quarter ended with Washington leading 2-1 over Gettysburg.
The Bullets would tied the score up at 2 apiece when #13-Jake Van Nostrand converted a feed from Purkat while Gettysburg was on a two-man advantage. Van Nostrand rang in again less then a minute later at 11:16 in the second as he took a feed from a dodging #16-Pete Milliman. With that goal, Gettysburg took their first lead of the game and would never trail the Shoremen again. Washington College would tie it up 3-3 at the 9:58 mark when midfielder #41-Randy Vane dodged down the left pipe and stuck one lefty up top on McGinnis. Gettysburg would re-take the lead at 4-3 at 3:57 when attackman #20-Ric Bremer would score his first goal (of a game high four goals on the day) off a crease feed from Van Nostrand. This would end the first half scoring, leaving the scoreboard reading 4-3 in the favor of Gettysburg.
Washington opened the 3rd quarter man-up due to a questionable pushing call against Gettysburg with just 4 seconds left in the second quarter. WAC capitalized on the man-up opportunity just 18 seconds in on a #6-Eric Kuehn goal assisted by #7-Stephen Berger. This tied the score at four and would be the last time the two teams would be even on the day. Gettysburg's defense put the clamps on the Shoremen offense as they held them scoreless over the next 20 minutes of the game. This 20 minute defensive lockdown was highlighted by two lengthy Washington College possessions that lasted somewhere between 4-5 minutes total (which in lacrosse time seems like an eternity). While the Bullets defense may have stood tall, the Shoremen offense showed great poise and discipline in running their sets over such an extended period of time. WAC was able to take some legitimate shots and create some opportunities, but each time goalie McGinnis stepped up making some nice saves. This defensive play by the Bullets helped their offense build a 6-4 lead by the end of quarter off of goals by #8-Rich Sharp and Bremer.
Gettysburg opened the scoring in the fourth on a great individual effort by midfielder #17-John O'Bannon as he was able to bounce one in while being dragged to the ground drawing a holding flag (which was wiped out by the goal). Washington College scored for the first time since 14:42 of the third quarter when Rentch scored his second goal of the day unassisted at 9:38 to make the score 7-5. The Bullets would score the next three goals of the game to take a 10-5 lead with goals at 8:54 by Bremer, 6:18 by Milliman, and 4:30 when Bremer scored his fourth goal of the day. Although it may have seemed as if the Bullets were pulling away, WAC started to face off with three shorties to create some instant offense. They responded by controlling the next two face-offs and scoring off of each one at the 3:55 mark on Rentch's third goal of the day after running by his defenseman. Then just 31 seconds later they notched their 7th and final goal of the day on a Kuehn goal from Rentch. Gettysburg gained possession of the next face-off and went in to their two-minute offense to help run out a majority of the remaining time in the game.
Today's game was not only a big matchup involving the #2 and #3 ranked teams in the nation; this game also had a much larger impact on the two teams' seasons. This was Gettysburg's second and biggest conference win of the year while Washington falls to 0-1 in the conference. With this win the Bullets have a leg up in the conference and in hosting the Centennial Conference tournament at the end of April. Washington moves to 6-1 on the year and will face another conference foe in Franklin and Marshall next Saturday, April 6. The Bullets will host the Fords of Haverford on Wednesday, April 3.

Wurttemberg – red wines of Southern Germany
When I think of German wines, I think of their delectable rieslings. Be they kabinnett or trockenbeerenauslese, whenever I think of German wines, my mind goes immediately to the striking white wines of the Mosel and the Pfalz. But did you know that Germany also does red wines? And have done for centuries? I have written a fair amount on German reds but mostly as anomalies that stood out from the white wine crowd. They were,to those outside of Germany, obscure wines from small producers who wanted to show what Germany could do with syrah or pinot noir. Well, I learned that riesling is not the only wine that Germany grows on my recent trip to Wurttemberg ( with the German Wine Institute), a wine growing region in the south of the country, where they have been growing and making red wines for centuries. If you've never heard of trollinger, lemberger, heroldreb, fruhburgunder or schwarzriesling, join the club. The most comprehensive tasting we had was of the wines of the Collegium Wirtemberg, a co-op of local growers just outside of Stuttgart, they are one of the biggest and after tramping up a rather large hill, we got a lovely view of the surrounding vine covered hills and a taste of their Cuvee blanc sparkling wine before heading to the main winery/tasting room downhill. Trollinger is probably the wine they are most proud of and it has been called the "national drink of Wurttemberg". A light and fruity wine with a bite to it, it reminded me, when done right, of a Beaujolais cru. Other times, it was a rather rustic wine but Collegium Wirtemberg managed to produce a lovely little wine, perfect for a sunny afternoon amongst the vines. More substantial wines they produced came from the lemberger, St. Laurent and spatburgunder or pinot noir grapes. While I say they were more substantial, I would say that is in relation to the trollinger. All the wines were medium bodied and were more savoury in...read more

(CNN) -- An apparent move by the Pakistani government to block YouTube, the popular video-sharing Web site, knocked out access to the site worldwide for more than two hours, Internet analysts say.
An Internet cafe in Islamabad, Pakistan
The outage followed a letter sent Friday evening by the Pakistani Telecommunications Authority (PTA) to Internet service providers, ordering them to prevent people in Pakistan from visiting YouTube.
The authority cited a "highly blasphemous" video featuring right-wing Dutch politician Geert Wilders.
The block was intended to cover only Pakistan but extended to about two-thirds of the global Internet population, The Associated Press cited Renesys Corp, an Internet monitoring company, as saying.
What happened was that Pakistan Telecom established a route that directed requests for YouTube videos from local Internet subscribers to a "black hole," AP cited Renesys as saying. It then published that route to its international data carrier, PCCW of Hong Kong, which accepted, AP quoted Todd Underwood, vice president of Renesys, as explaining.
The move also coincided with the temporary shutdown Friday evening of Aaj TV, a Pakistani television cable and satellite channel, after it reportedly upset President Pervez Musharraf. Since declaring a nationwide state of emergency on November 3, he has taken independent television stations off the air; they would later be allowed to resume service.
In YouTube's case, it was completely inaccessible on Sunday from 10:48 a.m. PT to 12:51 p.m. PT (11:48 p.m. Sunday to 1:51 a.m. Monday in Pakistan), said Shawn White, a spokesman for Keynote Systems, a San Mateo, California-based Internet-performance monitoring company.
Keynote Systems' monitoring of major Web sites like YouTube includes attempting to access them every 15 minutes from computers in 35 cities in Europe, Asia and the Americas, White said.
"I was kind of surprised that something like this could happen, especially globally," said White, calling the outage the most high-profile Internet blackout he remembers in his 12 years with the company. "It just further illustrates just how fragile the Internet can be.
"There are a lot of protocols and checks and guidelines in place that all of these international Internet service providers are supposed to follow," White said. "In this scenario, it's like someone made a change and didn't realize the change they were making was going to affect everyone around the world."
White added that his company's monitors additionally noted about a one-hour period -- starting at about 7 a.m. PT on Monday -- during which YouTube service slowed down dramatically. He said the cause of that slowdown wasn't yet clear.
In a statement released on Monday, YouTube did not mention the Pakistani government's move to block access to the site but attributed the outage on Sunday to an issue related to its site in Pakistan.
"Traffic to YouTube was routed according to erroneous Internet protocols, and many users around the world could not access our site," the statement said.
"We have determined that the source of these events was a network in Pakistan," YouTube added. "We are investigating and working with others in the Internet community to prevent this from happening again."
In a statement on its Web site, the PTA said the video had "the potential to cause more unrest and possible loss of life and property across the country."
"PTA believes that the said footage absolutely stands against the values of religious tolerance and peaceful co-existence arousing deep anguish and distress across the Muslim world."
Wilders, a far-right Dutch lawmaker, announced last month that he would release an anti-Islam film. Both the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have expressed concern that the film would spark global protests and riots.
The Pakistan government is asking YouTube to remove the "objectionable content," said Nabiha Mehmood, a spokeswoman for the PTA.
The government said it decided to block the video after senior representatives from several ministries of the Pakistani government met, according to a statement on the PTA Web site.
The authority sent the letter to Internet service providers after the meeting, Mehmood said, adding that the government would reinstate access to the video-sharing site if YouTube complied with the request.
The decision in Pakistan received mixed reactions.
"Some people are quite upset and screaming. They say they have been using YouTube regularly," said Wahal us Siraj, one of the founders of the Internet Service Providers Association of Pakistan, and chief executive officer of Micronet Broadband. "There are others who say that YouTube is full of videos... that are damaging to the character of children."
Roughly 3 million to 5 million of Pakistan's 165 million people have Internet access, according to Siraj's association.
The recent reprinting in European newspapers of the controversial cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed that sparked worldwide protests two years ago has inflamed emotions further.
The 3-year-old YouTube has exploded in popularity by letting ordinary people post their own videos online and watch videos that others have posted. The Web site's growth also has spawned efforts around the world to regulate it.
Authorities in Brazil, China, Iran, Morocco, Myanmar, Syria and Thailand have blocked access to YouTube in the last few years, according to Reporters Without Borders, a press advocacy organization.
The countries acted after concluding that YouTube videos were subversive (China), immoral (Iran), embarrassing to well-known figures (Brazil) or critical of a country's king (Thailand), the group said.
Governments also have sought to regulate user-supplied Internet content to stymie allegations that they abuse human rights, the group said.
A few months ago, YouTube, responding to complaints, took down videos posted by an award-winning Egyptian human rights advocate that showed what he described as police abuse. About five months later, after media reports, YouTube restored his account and let him continue posting videos.
YouTube is a subsidiary of Google Inc., which bought the site in 2006 for nearly $1.7 billion.

Bond denied for man charged after family reportedly imprisoned
FRANKLIN COUNTY - The Lavonia police chief released more details Wednesday in the case against Raymond Daniel Thurmond, who's being charged with imprisoning and abusing his wife and four children for three years.
The family was held captive in a Georgia trailer park and never allowed outside, according to officials.
Superior Court Judge Lindsay A. Tise Jr. denied bond for Thurmond late Wednesday morning. Raymond Thurmond will need to request a bond hearing, if he wants one, once he secures the services of an attorney, officials said. As of Wednesday night, he remained in the Franklin County Detention Center without bond.
Thurmond is charged with one count of rape, four counts of first-degree child abuse and five counts of false imprisonment.
Police Chief Bruce Carlisle said the Thurmond children were home-schooled, but there is no indication that any of the children had any education, with the exception of one 14-year-old child. Officials believe that teen attended school up to the second grade.
Ruth O'Dell, the superintendent for Franklin County schools, told the Independent-Mail that the Thurmond family has been regularly turning in the necessary paperwork that notified the school system the children were home schooled.
"Our records indicate the children have been home schooled," O'Dell said.
The children in the Thurmond family have been home-schooled since the 2002-03 school year, O'Dell said. However, she did not know if all four children in the home were being home-schooled, even though she has no reason to suspect they were not.
O'Dell did not know if the children ever enrolled in the Franklin County public school system, she said.
Franklin County school regulations stipulate that the parent or guardian teaching home study must have a high school diploma or a GED. Attendance records must be kept, appropriate nationally standardized tests must be taken, and the home study instructor must write an annual report the student's academic progress.
The police chief said it appears at this point that Thurmond's children never have known any other life other than they had at the mobile home.
One of the children is being treated for a medical condition. The children are malnourished, according to officials. Investigator Missy Collins said three of the children were extremely underweight.
Officials said they haven't ruled out charging Thurmond's wife, but at this point she appears to be a victim.
It appears she, as well as the children, were mentally abused, repeatedly told they were worthless, trash and stupid, officials said.
"It was pretty much a virtual prison," Collins said Wednesday. "He controlled what they ate, what they did. He controlled pretty much everything."
Sometimes, he'd fly into a rage and hit his children — ages 14, 13, 12 and 9 — with a steel-toed boot, Collins said. Other times, the children told Collins they would hear their father attacking and raping their mother in a bedroom.
"I asked, 'Did you go to help?' And they looked at me like it was the strangest question. Dad pretty much did whatever he wanted to do," Collins said.
People in this town of 2,200 about 90 miles from Atlanta are left wondering why it took so long to discover the dire situation — and why Thurmond's wife and children didn't leave sooner.
Lavonia Police Chief Bruce Carlisle said his officers found evidence that Thurmond may have locked the bedroom doors while he was at work each day, but he suggested Thurmond's wife may also have suffered from "battered wife's syndrome."
"The victims of this type of abuse, they're made to believe they're not worthy of anything, that this is what they deserve," he said. "It's amazing. They were not allowed outside. They were simply not allowed to go near the door. It all goes back to the control thing."
Collins said Thurmond's wife seemed to have slowly fallen under her husband's control.
She described her marriage as wonderful at first, but she steadily lost control, Collins said.
"I think it's just hitting her what she is going through," Collins said.
Thurmond's wife finally came forward after he told her he was leaving her for another woman and that he'd return every few days with food, Collins said.
The children are in government custody, and investigators describe them as shy, but not completely socially undeveloped.
Residents of the 100-unit park gathered at the Thurmond home after learning of the shocking news.
"We had no clue," said Sonya Savage, who has lived there for a year. "I never even knew he had kids in there."
Carlisle said Raymond Thurmond graduated Franklin County High School.

Like the best makers, Melissa's interest in creating character-filled trinkets stemmed from a simple need: Her husband had to wear cufflinks to work every day and he couldn't find any that weren't boring. Melissa stepped in and swiftly whipped up a pair of 'links with curious details and attention-grabbing charm. Soon enough, people wanted to know where he'd gotten them and, well, Melissa had little choice but to go pro with the whole thing. She still gives each product as much care as the first set she put together for her husband, which means you'll probably get a slew of compliments.

(Centre Daily Times/MCT/Getty Images)By Zac EllisAnother college football season opener in Ireland could be in the works. After Notre Dame and Navy squared off in Dublin last fall, Penn State and Central Florida are discussing the option of opening the 2014 season against one another in Ireland, the Orlando Sentinel reports.Nittany Lions coach Bill O'Brien and Knights coach George O'Leary are both of Irish heritage and have talked about the possibility of a matchup across the pond for months. The game would serve as the second half of a previously scheduled home-and-home, with the first meeting taking place this Sept. 14 in State College.Logistics of the potential contest are still being discussed, including the selection of a stadium in Dublin. "We have talked to [Penn State] about being a potential opponent, but we are far from an agreement," David Hansen, UCF senior associate athletics director for internal operations, told the Sentinel. "Logistically, it's not easy." Notre Dame beat Navy 50-10 at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, one of the venues under consideration for the Penn State-UCF opener. The Knights are mulling the financial trade-off of scheduling the game, as it could cost the school upwards of $1 million, a source told the Sentinel. Promoted Stories Comments

Evening all
It was lovely to see blue skies today even though it was freezing cold!!
How is your back Boffin? Hope you are taking it easy.
Well, I've done all I can. They're on their own now. Don't really have anymore proper teaching until 7th January now. Lots of marking, report writing, prepping for next term and the odd lesson on the traditions of Christmas trees, mince pies, carols etc but fundamentally, that's me done. Lush.
cold and icy out there this morning - lovely bright moon and stars though
Tracey, I'm sure your students will do well - enjoy the break. I'm teaching next week, it'll probably be my last ever teaching session. I've given my notice in at work so I'll be facing lots of "last evers" over the next 6 months! It's a bit scary tbh my "last ever" employment date will be the 1st of June, the time will fly by!
Just think of all those leaving parties... and pies - Mmmmmmm pie
Back is up and down - only because I am doing so much more with it so no shock really. I don't need the brace all the time now, so that is a step in the right direction.
Chilly start this morning!
Sue.........major decsion but think of all the training you can do
Sue - good luck. Change is good and you have lots to look forward to. Scary I know but exciting too
Evening .... kids sleeping for once. Hurrah !
Morning all
Morning indeed
Chilly again this morning; wrap up warm
Was nippy. Wouldn't be surprised to see snow soon.
December tomorrow. Where does the time go?!
Morning all
Heating not working this morning. Nothing serious, just boiler needing repressurising, but one of the kids had a cold shower before it was fixed - ouch!
Off for lunch in the Pantygwydr with people we really like but haven't seen for ages - yum yum yum.
Looks like all my students passed, so huge sighs of reliefs all round.
Life is good.
Sounds like you have things sussed Tracey.
Been out for a very nice meal at ASK. Nine of us in total and a good time was had by all
RW fell out with me yesterday - wouldn't let me log on... had to work instead!
Not the time of year for the heating not to be working - good it was easily sorted.
Even I get a chocolate advent calendar - a cheerful santa yesterday and a squat snowman for today!
Boffin - at least you have coffee. No RW is nothing in comparison!
Bit wintry out there today.
Monday again. Here we go!
Morning indeed.
At least it is not so cold this morning. Got loads to do too.
Indeed I do have coffee If it were a cold and frosty morning, and moreover if we had a mullberry bush, we could go around it!
My Dexter cattle are not happy with me - I have put them in a barn to make it easier to load onto a trailer. They don't like being shut in the barn - would much rather trample the fields to death and wander into the barn for feed when they felt like it!
Another jovial chocolate santa in my advent calendar - supposed to be 'discovering their new characters'.... two jovial santa heads and a snowman so far.
Monday morning but I am only working today and then off for the rest of the week. So it's also Friday sort of.
Morning once more,
Nice day today, and not too cold. Just head an excellent programme on Radio 4.

(May 21, 2013) On April 7, 2013, the Thai Parliament voted to approve three bills in furtherance of the government's plan to amend the Constitution. The bills were submitted separately, because there are three very different subjects addressed by the amendments: the authority to conclude treaties, the senators, and the "overthrow of the democratic regime."
The bill that has received the most public attention is the one that proposes amending section 68 of the Constitution on the overthrow of the government. The bill was proposed by Somsak Kiartsuranon, the President of the Parliament, along with 311 coalition MPs. (Enacting a Bill to Amend Article 68, Political Divisions Heating Up [in Thai], DAILY NEWS (Apr.7, 2013).)
Proposed Changes to Section 68
Section 68 of the Constitution currently states in paragraphs 1 and 2:
No person shall exercise the rights and liberties prescribed in the Constitution to overthrow the democratic regime of government with the King as Head of the State under this Constitution or to acquire the power to rule the country by any means which is not in accordance with the modes provided in this Constitution.
In the case where a person or a political party has committed the act under paragraph one, the person knowing of such act shall have the right to request the Prosecutor General to investigate its facts and submit a motion to the Constitutional Court for ordering cessation of such act without, however, prejudice to the institution of a criminal action against such person. (Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand B.E. 2550 (2007), Senate of Thailand website.)
The bill on the proposed amendment of section 68 includes the following two changes.
The first change is to replace "in the Constitution" in section 68, paragraph 1, with "under Chapter 3 (Rights and Liberties of the Thai People) of the Constitution." The government has said that they want this section to be clearer. The change would mean that a person would be penalized for an act to overthrow the democratic regime only if the act falls under the categories of proscribed acts set forth in Chapter 3, rather than if the act violates any part of the whole Constitution, as is currently the case. (Section 68 [in Thai], DAILY NEWS (Apr.15, 2013).)
The second proposed amendment would make it clear that the Prosecutor General has the sole authority to decide whether to move a motion to the
… have the right to request the Prosecutor General to investigate its facts. After the Prosecutor General examines and agrees that the act is designed to overthrow the democratic regime or acquire the power to rule the country by any means not in accordance with the modes provided in this Constitution, then the Prosecutor General can submit a motion to the Constitutional Court for ordering cessation of such act…" (
; underlining added by author.) Id.
However, the People's
Reasons Behind Amendment of Article 68
The currently effective Constitution originated from a coup d'etat in 2006 led by the Council for Democratic Reform. The Council had been established by the former military regime headed by Army Commander General Sonthi Boonyaratglin, which had governed
Due to the coup d'etat withdrawal of the previous 1997 Constitution, the current Constitution of
The government is purportedly trying to amend section 68 because this section had been used against the government when it had tried to amend section 291, on amendment of the Constitution itself. The opposition party had claimed that the government's plan to amend section 291 could be viewed as an attempt to overthrow the democratic regime and should be stopped by virtue of section 68. (Constitutional Court Dismissed the Motion on Overthrowing the Democratic Regime [in Thai], DAILY NEWS (July 13, 2012).) The government claimed that under section 68, paragraph 2, the Court does not have the power to accept an opposition party motion before the motion has been submitted to the Prosecutor General. (Constitution Amendment [in Thai], DAILY NEWS (Mar.28, 2013).)
Therefore the arguments on the amendment of section 291 had brought into play the applicability of article 68, and particularly whether the Prosecutor General or the Constitutional Court has the authority to accept a motion for the Court to issue an order to stay acts to overthrow the regime or unconstitutionally acquire power, and whether the Court can accept the motion directly or must go through the Prosecutor General first. (Amendment of Section 68 a Game of Confiscation of the Power of the Constitutional Court [in Thai], DAILY NEWS (Mar.19 2013).)
The Stance of the
On May 8, 2013, the committee responsible for the current bill reached the conclusion to include in a third paragraph the following phrasing:
the Prosecutor General has to check all the facts as set forth in the second paragraph within 30 days from the day of receipt of the motion. If the Prosecutor General cannot do it in that period of time, the person who proposed the motion can directly submit it to the
Constitutional Court, but must do so within 30 days from the day the Prosecutor General fails to submit the report. (Committee Responsible for the Amendment of Section 68 Concluded That the Motion Has to Be Submitted Through the Prosecutor General Only, DAILYNEWS (May 8, 2013).)
The amendments have not yet become law. After the committee meeting the proposed amendments were sent back to the Parliament for a second and third reading. (Constitution of the

Bournemouth Lions coach: Lydney 'dragged us down to their level'
Posted: December 11, 2012|
Bournemouth Lions coach David Dunn believes Lydney RFC dragged his side down to their level in Saturday's defeat at Chapel Gate.
The Dorset side's Director of Rugby is wary his side's inexperience is hampering their results in National League Two South.
The Gloucestershire side secured their second straight league win with a 24-18 victory over Bournemouth - after the Dorset side were temporarily reduced to twelve men.
"I think they dragged us down to their level" said Dunn.

"We're a much better side than we showed. We got dragged into a battle, rather than keeping our heads up and keeping our shape.
"They're experienced at this level, they've been playing in this league for many years now.
"It's our inexperience at this level that's counting against us."
Before Saturday's clash with Lydney, the Lions had not played a game in three weeks - giving the side a chance to recover from a bruising opening to the season.
However, the Lions may have been caught a little cold against their Gloucestershire opponents - having a lack of match practice since facing Launceston on November 17.
"Hindsight is a wonderful thing" added Dunn.
"We were hanging at the end of the Launceston game, and we decided we wouldn't play a game in that break.
"Maybe we took our foot off the gas too much."
The Lions face an away trip to Barking on Saturday - who are still yet to win in National League Two South this season.
