Pilot Scoop: Jason Lee Has Second Sight in CBS Adaptation of BBC Crime Drama
Pilot Scoop: Jason Lee Has Second Sight in CBS Adaptation of BBC Crime Drama
Onetime Memphis Beat lawman Jason Lee has a new beat, as a police detective on CBS' Second Sight pilot.
An adaptation of the British crime drama fronted by Clive Owen, Second Sight stars Lee as Tanner, the lead detective with the New Orleans Police Department. Tanner, though, is concealing a troublesome secret: He has an ocular disorder that causes him to have horrifying, visually stimulating anxiety dreams and hallucinations.
Assured by his doctor that he will not go blind, Tanner is encouraged to think of the side effects as a "gift," signposts from his subconscious that – hey! — help him solve crimes.

In the end what was left?
What was left from such theft?
You stole my heart with such ease,
Left my crying for you on my knees.
After it all what is left for me?
What to do after being destroyed so abruptly?
What's left for me to do when I am not whole?
How to take back what you so easily stole?
In the end all that's left is a part of me,
The whole person that I was may never again be.
In the end you took all that mattered,
What to do when someone your dreams has shattered?

Homemade Brown Sugar Body Scrub
Posted By Smockity Frocks On October 12, 2010 @ 6:37 am In How To | 11 Comments
It is luxuriously silky with just enough grit to scrub away rough spots on hands, elbows, and heels.
We decided to make our own to sell at a little craft fair in our neighborhood. We sold quite a few and still have several to give away as Christmas gifts.
Participating in the fair was all my Madison's idea, so she did all the work and kept all the profits ($46 net after paying costs). She was thrilled about it! Since she pays for her own gymnastics lessons, she is always on the lookout for a way to make extra money.
Here is how to make your own homemade brown sugar body scrub. You will need:
Scoop some brown sugar in a bowl and saturate it with the baby oil. Mix well and fill jars.
It should be the consistency of … brown sugar saturated with baby oil, but not drippy. You'll want to be able to use a teaspoon or so without having any oily mess. It will look like this:
Try it! You'll love this homemade brown sugar body scrub and your hands will thank you!

Hurricane Blatter meets English tumbleweed
Whilst the storm over Sepp Blatter's comments continues to build, whipped up further by a Twitterspat with Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand, the response from England's political and football hierarchy has been interesting, to say the least. Ed Miliband, lambasted in various liberal quarters for his perceived lateness to embrace the Occupy London movement, was quick off the mark this time. The leader of the Opposition referred to the Fifa president's remarks as "a disgrace", and called for new leadership; a move in which he was matched by Gordon Taylor, the head of the Professional Footballers Association. Meanwhile, both the Coalition and shadow sports ministers were swift to condemn Blatter's apparent complacency, respectively referring to his views as "morally indefensible" and "totally outrageous".
The main source of intrigue, though, has been the curiously cowed response from some of the English game's senior powerbrokers. The Premier League, having called a meeting of all of its clubs, then issued a joint statement on racism from all 20 clubs remarkable for its failure to mention FIFA at any point – what we might call "tumbleweed PR".
"'The English game has been at the forefront of tackling racist behaviour and other forms of discrimination", read the text. "Everybody in the game in England understands any form of racism is totally unacceptable. There are still issues, as there are in society, so with our partners, Kick It Out, the PFA and The FA, we must remain committed and vigilant to maintaining the standards we have set and confronting any incidents that occur. There is no place for discrimination in football and we will continue to strive to eliminate it."
This is a statement that could have been copied and pasted from an anti-racism brochure at almost any time in the last 15 years. Though it is very tempting to mock the Premier League for what looks to be a defensive stance, their approach, though tortuous, is supported by a solid though regrettable argument. Three of the Premier League's biggest clubs – Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea, are currently embroiled in concurrent inquiries over racial abuse.
Moreover, Liverpool's Luis Suarez and Chelsea's John Terry - two of the Premier League's biggest stars, and, coincidentally, two of its most divisive characters – are alleged to have made racist comments. With these cases pending, it's easy to see why the Premier League has released this utterly colourless statement, in the hope that this will blow over. If, after all, they condemn Fifa's complacency and then conduct inquiries where any of the parties end up crying foul, they will look like the worst of hypocrites. The FA, for their part, must be thanking their lucky stars. Only a day before, when they formally charged Luis Suarez with racial abuse, they announced that they would be issuing "no further comment at this time". Unsurprisingly, given the furore of the next 24 hours, they have remained true to their word.
Meanwhile, Number 10 issued a statement from the Prime Minister so brief that he could almost have tweeted it. "It's appalling to suggest that racism in any way should be accepted as part of the game", went the statement. "A lot of work has gone into ridding racism from all aspects of our society, including football. As many of our top sports stars have rightly pointed out, now is not the time for complacency." Again, tumbleweed. There was no mention of Sepp Blatter by name; again, as with the Premier League, the timing of the remarks left no doubt as two whom they were about. Indeed, these PR strategies were so similar that the conspiracy theorist in me wonders if the Premier League and PM's spokespeople got together to compare notes.
What do these statements reveal? I think they show two things. First, from Number 10's part, I think they show that the Prime Minister would rather avoid a direct confrontation with Blatter over this issue, preferring to leave it to Hugh Robertson, his sports minister. I think that Cameron lacks the leverage to call successfully for Blatter's head, and to do so would be an embarrassing mistake: and, following the World Cup vote fiasco, I doubt that he wants a second public humiliation at the hands of Fifa.
Secondly, I think that the Premier League statement betrays fear: that they don't quite have the hang of dealing with public relations around this racism thing. Otherwise, I think they might have come out with a more strident and powerful statement. It's only a guess, but they also possibly regret pinning their colours to John Terry's mast, given his unfortunate ability to attract trouble at the most inopportune moments: and they might well breathe a sigh of relief when they can finally hand the captain's armband to someone like Joe Hart. For the next few weeks, though, they may be squirming a little in their suits; though not nearly so much as Blatter is in his.Tagged in: david cameron, ed miliband, FA, FIFA, Gordon Taylor, Hugh Robertson, Joe Hart, john terry, Kick It Out, Luis Suarez, Premier League, Professional Footballers' Association, rio ferdinand, Sepp Blatter

With autumn in full swing, Franklin area businesses have adopted some unofficial mascots at the height of the leaflooker season.
"We've had some calls over the last few weeks of a black bear cub in the area of [Macon Program for Progress], Mc- Donalds and Pizza Hut," said Animal Control Officer John Hook on Monday, adding that bear sightings have been reported in the areas of Riverview Heights, Highlands Road and Harrison Avenue, to name a few. "We haven't had any problems with the cub or any of the other bears sighted around town."
Early bear sightings began just weeks ago, when Pizza Hut employees spotted a young black bear strolling through the rear end of the parking lot, apparently on the lookout for some food.
"It comes out every once in a while, but then it gets scared and runs away anytime someone gets too close," said one Pizza Hut manager last Friday. "I think it's looking for food."
"We've had one small cub on site for two weeks as of today," said MPP Executive Director Chuck Sutton on Monday. "It's caused a bit of excitement with the kids since we first started seeing it. It hasn't been near the kids and the teachers are keeping their eyes open for [the cub]." Sutton added that the cub can be spotted on occasion in the wooded area behind the facility, both in the trees and on the ground, foraging for acorns, to the amusement of students and faculty alike.
Hook indicated that the cub's parent is "missing in action," which is why it hasn't been spotted with a mother bear. It is believed that the cub hanging around MPP is also the same cub that is stalking the dumpsters at Pizza Hut and McDonalds.
Not only are the local youth and businesses amused by the black bear visitors, but tourists are as well.
"I couldn't believe we saw one. It was really calm," said Gayle Clark, who along with her husband Mark saw the cub at the local Pizza Hut after returning from a Pigeon Forge vacation. The couple just so happened to stop by the restaurant while on their way back to their Jacksonville home.
"It was kind of ironic to see it at Pizza Hut," Clark laughed. "We came up here wanting to see at least one bear, and the whole time we were up here we didn't get to see one, other than the one at Cade's Cove. We didn't think we would see any more." The Clarks concluded that their Appalachian vacation was complete with the Pizza Hut cub encounter. "I'm glad we got to see one."
For the past week, employees and patrons at the Blaine House Bed and Breakfast have made numerous sightings of a black bear sow and two cubs living in the trees at nearby apartments and near the inn. They are frequently seen foraging for nuts in the yard between the front and rear buildings of the complex.
"An extraordinary sighting that our B&B guests got to partake of and enjoy," remarked Blaine innkeeper Karin Gorboff. "I guess they were hungry and thought a Bed and Breakfast would be a nice place to get breakfast!"
Authorities are advising the public to avoid provoking the bears and to contact the authorities to notify them of their whereabouts if they spot one.
"Stay clear of the bear and it will mind its own business," cautioned Hook. "Please don't feed them, because then they will keep coming back. They are not aggressive and are more or less just hungry."
Hook added that Macon County Animal Control is unable to remove the cub, or any other of the reported bears in town, due to federal regulations.

How to Throw a Great Birthday Party (Ages 12 14)
If you have a birthday coming up and you are a pre-teen or teen girl then here is the article for you! (Remember this is for a sleepover party!)
1Get parent/guardian's permission.Ad
2Make a list of people who you want to have come over. Will it just be with a few friends or are you inviting the whole class? Make sure your parents approve of the number before heading to the next step
3Come up with the best time. If this is going to be a sleepover party and consists of more than 5 people coming, then figure out a time and date that works for you. If it is a sleepover party consisting of less than 5 people coming, then ask to find a common date that everyone will be free; that way all your friends can make it.
4Once you have decided on your guests, date, and time, then make invitations, or you can call them. (Make sure you give the guests at least a week-in-advance notice).
5Purchase or make inexpensive or if you like expensive decorations. (Also, if you can afford it, get some party favors - nothing too childish, but things that the guests would like.)
6On the day of the party, make sure a close friend that is coming to the party comes early. That way the person can help you decorate and then you will have someone to talk to. Also make sure to have a bowl of snacks and drinks available for your guests. Have cake and something like pizza ready for when you get hungry!
7If you own some nice makeup, apply it before the party and wear a pretty, non-formal dress.
8Right before the party, put on some music.
9Greet guests with a smile and/or hug and talk to their parents for a few minutes. Remind the parents of the time the kids need to be picked up, etc.
10When everyone is there, dance, talk, and play games. Choose games that everyone wants to participate in.
11Do cake, pizza, and presents all around the same time.
12Set up sleeping bags at around 9:00 or 10:00 get ready for bed around that time too. You may not be going to bed immediately, but it's good to get that stuff out of the way so everyone can be comfy in their pj's!
13At night talk (not loudly), play games like "Truth or Dare","spin the bottle",etc.
14In the morning, have your mom, dad, or guardian make breakfast. Choose a food that your guests would like - make it appropriate (no cereal, etc.)
15Get dressed and turn the music back on and party until parents come. Don't make the guests do any cleaning up unless they completely trashed your house! You and a friend can pick it up later.
16When parents arrive, give guests their party favors and a hug.
17When everybody has gone, clean-up then rest!Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Try to make sure everyone enjoys themselves.
- Don't invite too many people over-it can get very messy very fast! Also there will or might be too much chaos.
- Make it so your parents will like it, too.
- Make sure the friends you have invited are respectful.
Things You'll Need
- 2-5+ friends to come.
- One friend that will come early and stay late.
- Music
- Drinks/snacks
- Cake/ice-cream
- Pizza or other dinner food
- Party favors
- A good-sized room with space to sleep and party
- Decorations
- Games to play
- Breakfast food
- Makeup and a non-formal dress (these are optional, of course)

Quicker by rail?
Architects seeking the go-ahead for speedy demolitions beware
English Heritage has been tasked with an urgent and comprehensive investigation into the listing potential of buildings and bridges along Isambard Kingdom Brunel's entire 187km-long Great Western Main Line.
The 176-year-old engineering masterpiece is about to undergo a £350 million electrification overhaul.
Owner Network Rail petitioned English Heritage to carry out the work in a proactive bid to avoid any last-minute listings of bridges that could threaten to derail the project.The outcome of a public consultation, launched by English Heritage in April, will be published this summer.
But with all this extra workload at the heritage body, the likelihood of a quick turnaround on requests for, say, a certificate of immunity from listing would certainly appear diminished.

Mansfield Senior's Jessica White is averaging 13.2 points and 5.8 rebounds a game. White and fellow senior Shannica Black have the Tygers atop the Ohio Cardinal Conference standings at 3-0. / JASON J. MOLYETNEWS JOURNAL
Girls Basketball Power Poll
1. Shelby (8-0, first last week): The Whippets' season turns serious tonight with a road trip to Upper Sandusky, the one team in the Northern Ohio League which can challenge Shelby.
2. Fredericktown (6-0, second): How neat would a Shelby-Fredericktown game be? They are two teams similar in makeup and style. Their win over good Loudonville team was as dominating as any performance so far this year.
3. Colonel Crawford (4-1, third): The litmus test for the Eagles comes Saturday when they host Riverdale.
4. Bucyrus (5-1, fourth): The Redmen North Central Conference fate will be determined tonight when Riverdale comes to town. A win means they control their destiny. A loss means they'll need a lot of help to get back into it.
5. Crestview (4-1, fifth): The Cougars are quietly putting together a string of wins for coach Tracy Richards.
6. Ashland (3-3, not ranked): The Arrows losses are to Shelby, Orrville and West Holmes, all on the road, and there's no shame in those defeats. Games with Lexington and Mansfield Senior this week will gauge if they're deserving of such a lofty spot in the Power Poll.
7. St. Peter's (4-2, seventh): The Spartans went 2-2 in the Ohio Cardinal Conference in the early going. Mercifully, their schedule lightens a bit.
8. Mansfield Senior (3-2, eighth): The Tygers have won their last three as Jessica White and Shannica Black appear to be getting more comfortable with new point guard Leshea McCoy.
9. Wynford (3-2, not ranked): Once again the Royals are doing it with a slow tempo offense and lockdown defense.
10. Lexington (3-3, sixth): Nothing easy is coming for the Lady Lex offense. They've scored 32, 28 and 24 points in games this year. They're giving themselves no margin for error even if they play standout defense.
-- compiled by Rob McCurdy
MANSFIELD -- Black and White isn't out of date at Mansfield Senior. In fact, early in the season, Black and White have been Technicolor brilliant.
In large part due to seniors Shannica Black and Jessica White, Senior High is 3-0 in the Ohio Cardinal Conference girls basketball standings.
"Me and Jessica have been playing together since the third grade, so we know each other like the back of our hands," Black said. "I know when she's having a bad game, and she knows when I'm having a bad game. We just know each other.
"That's one of the best qualities that this team has, that me and Jessica are the go-to players and know each other as well as we do."
Throughout their careers, Black and White played supporting roles to players like All-Ohioan Yanette Feagin, Sierra Hardin, Lashonda Bond, Shanetta Hartfield and Jerrica Hairston.
Now it's their turn.
"I like being a go-to player," White said. "What I like about it is I play all the positions, so it's easy for me. I can help everybody else out."
White started her varsity career as a post player, but last year her game evolved into some perimeter duties. As a junior, she averaged 10 points and six rebounds to earn second-team OCC and honorable mention Northwest District honors
This year White is as likely to be found on the arc as she is on the block. Through five games, she is averaging 13.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and just over three steals a game.
"Yes, I feel comfortable," White said. "With me coming out to the wing, it's pretty tough, but it's fun."
Black is one of the area's most improved players. Last year she averaged just over six points and six rebounds. This year it's nine points and nine rebounds with the ability to drop 16 points and grab 18 rebounds, which she did at Shelby in the opener.
"I played AAU which showed me more stuff that I didn't know, but I got hurt toward the end of the summer. Even so, I learned to get quicker with quicker moves and quicker footwork," Black said.
The vocal leader and emotional compass of the team, Black relishes her new role.
"It actually feels really good to be a go-to player. It's a lot of weight, but I like it," she said. "That's what I needed in my game, to be a captain. It makes me work harder to know I'm an example to all the younger girls."
For coach Todd Krill, he likes the options Black, White and senior point guard Leshea McCoy (10 points, four assists a game) give him.
"We're trying to run stuff that's going to help them and hopefully one of them will be scoring," Krill said. "It's not that the other girls can't score, but they're pretty young and we want to keep it in our seniors' hands."
The Tygers undefeated league mark will be tested this week when they host Orrville on Thursday and travel to Ashland on Saturday morning.
"I feel good about everything we do," White said. "I think we're going to be all right."

National Weather Service Buffalo, New York
Western New York Weather History
8TH-9TH… A cold front accompanied by thunderstorms with high winds and frequent lightning crossed western New York on the 8th. Lightning knocked out the Weather Service Radar shortly after 8pm. Another strike 20 minutes later interrupted the continuous broadcasts on NOAA Weather Radio. Lightning also struck the antenna of the communication system in the town of Lancaster. Village police took over town police calls and the Cheektowaga fire alarm office handled firecalls for the town. Power losses were also reported to about 1000 customers in the Maryvale section of Cheektowaga. There were scattered power failures in Wilson and Olcott in Niagara county; in Orleans, Genesee, and Chautauqua counties; and in Erie county from Hamburg to Eden.
Numerous thunderstorms crossed the western southern tier and Genesee valley during the evening hours. The thunderstorm winds downed trees and power lines. Thousands were without electricity. Damage from thunderstorm winds was reported in Nunda, Dansville, Randolph, Sherman, Ischua, Angelica, Springville and Ashford. The torrential rains accompanying the thunderstorms, coming just a few days after earlier heavy rains, resulted in flash flooding...especially in Allegany county. Hardest hit was Centerville, Hume, Granger and Caneadea. Several towns in the western southern tier declared States of Emergency. Damage to roads was extensive. In Allegany county, Routes 23, 27, 36 and 3 were closed for days.
A severe thunderstorm crossed Oswego county during the early afternoon hours. The thunderstorm winds downed trees in Hannibal, Volney and Hastings.
thunderstorms developed in a very moist atmosphere, dropping
inches of rain in a short amount
of time onto already saturated ground. The heavy rains produced flash
flooding over parts of the southern tier and

Summer is coming, it's now time to invest in a new notebook cooling dock
Category: Accessories - Tags: Cooling, Cooling Dock, Dock, Fan, Green-house, Greenhouse, Laptop, Netbook, Notebook, Station, Usb
Yesterday we had up to 33°C in Japan, and we all know that Laptops can quickly get seriously hot in the summer. This is why Green-House decided to propose this morning 2 new notebook cooling docks for both 13″ and 15" notebooks and powered by USB only. Green-House are promising to drop your notebook temperature ( their test shows a 5°C drop in CPU temp and up to 7°C in RAM temp). The new GH-PCF*AK series are also pretty quiet with only 20dB at pick time.

But on the other hand, there are always teams out there who have bullpen collapses and need stable arms to carry them to the end of the season. Kevin Gregg could be that integral piece for another team.

Southpaw, as tempting as Kevin Gregg might be, just as you said, teams would be hardpressed to give up a first rounder unless they really really really needed a closer.

Hilleraj, I like how AA is stockpiling arms, but you have to think that either Frasor or Downs are out the door now. The Blue Jays would be best to trade them now and get full value (especially on Frasor).Ian H.http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069118812751480198.post-7909065507238829032010-02-03T09:37:54.948-05:002010-02-03T09:37:54.948-05:00I'd almost rather see Gregg as a type B at the...I'd almost rather see Gregg as a type B at the end of this year (and I don't think that's out of the question, as he'll have to battle all year for the closer job). A supplemental pick is more than enough to justify his contract, and since another team would be more likely to sign him as a type B, the chances of him accepting a Jays arbitration offer would be lower. Either way, more depth in the bullpen is probably still a good thing at this point... plus, we never know who Cito is gonna try stretching out into a starter...firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069118812751480198.post-42454983238540609492010-02-03T03:58:20.613-05:002010-02-03T03:58:20.613-05:00Getting a draft pick means offering arbitration an...Getting a draft pick means offering arbitration and hoping a team is willing to give up a draft pick.

honestly, if the Jays can sign Gregg on Feb. 2 for under 3 mill, who exactly is going to sign him next winter knowing they have to give up a first rounder to get him?

That would be a big fat NOBODY.

By their nature, relief pitchers have quality fluctuations from year to year, and I'd rather not be holding the bag on Gregg. If you're just looking for assets to flip, then AA might be better served by going after position players, who feel like more consistent performers to me.Steve G.http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069118812751480198.post-43011675553288770502010-02-02T23:24:06.903-05:002010-02-02T23:24:06.903-05:00Nick, while I'm starting to understand AA'...Nick, while I'm starting to understand AA's logic behind these moves, maybe he would be better served to use that money in contracts dealt out to Gregg (and Damon hypothetically) and use it to sign next year's draft picks, or put that money into scouting for the future?

I'm with you that Gregg will bounce back this year. Some people are afraid that the AL East hitters are going to eat him alive, but I think he can stand his ground. His K/9 and B/99 are pretty decent.Ian H.http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069118812751480198.post-38905884665593082052010-02-02T23:01:00.590-05:002010-02-02T23:01:00.590-05:00One last thing...

His HR rate last year was twice his career average, and his xFIP was his lowest since 2005.

Frasor was at 66, while Downs is at 78. If we set a bench mark at around 70 for the Elias scores, it certainly is in the realm of possibility for all 3 to achieve type A status. And if one misses out, then they get type B. The Jays could also try and adjust things down the stretch by giving one guy more save opportunities then others to try and boost their rankings. If the Jays really want to get all three to type B they definitely should be able to.

Also - If the Jays were to sign Damon, he could get us another 2 picks. Hell, if we wanted to go all out and get picks I think O-Dog and Dye are still available...Nickhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069118812751480198.post-86036361613192071832010-02-02T22:15:46.134-05:002010-02-02T22:15:46.134-05:00Good point Nick, I never considered that Downs, Fr...Good point Nick, I never considered that Downs, Frasor and Gregg could all be Type A free agents. Though realistically, I think only two of those relievers would get enough work to become Type A free agents.

It's an unconventional move by AA, so I hope he knows what he's doing.Ian H.http://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069118812751480198.post-42264287429806230992010-02-02T20:57:45.749-05:002010-02-02T20:57:45.749-05:00He'll probably be type A next year, as he was ...He'll probably be type A next year, as he was comfortably in that range, and will probably stay there next year as well.
Alex basically bought himself 2 draft picks next year, not a bad deal I think. It's not a massive contract by any means, and it means we still have room to trade off some extra arms who may not net us picks next year. That also gives us the potential to have Downs, Frasor, and Gregg have type A status. 6 extra picks? Yes please.Nickhttp://email@example.com

CHULA VISTA, California
CHULA VISTA, California
More from iheartme82
76 year old woman with alzheimers dementia was violently kidnapped from her guardian on march 11, 2013 in Chula Vista, CA. Prior to her kidnapping she was assigned a conservator and a conservatorship lawyer named John Scott Smith. I reported the kidnapping to the Chula Vista and the National City police department, the District Attorney's office in Chula Vista and San Diego and to the Adult Protective Services. I was unable to receive help from any of these sources because everywhere I went they all said that John Scott Smith said my mother was ok with her abductors, not respecting the orders of the judge. He abused his power as an attorney.
Due to his negligence she was recently found on July eighth 2014 at " Lopez Barbershop" by a fire inspector and police during a welfare check, where they heard a knock on the wall and a voice behind a wall that said she was locked in a room and could not get out. When the police went to the door they found it barricaded by furniture and locked. She admitted to being locked in without food, water and her diabetic medication and had not seen sunlight for days. Her kidnappers tried to resist, delay and obstruct a peace officer a public officer and a medical technician attempting to not let them do their job. Police brought her into a local hospital where she was seen by a social worker, MD Rocio Flores and MD Jose Pena and yet they released her back to those criminals, stating that they released her to them because they are the the ones who provide care for her. A report was also sent to Adult Protective Services whom to this date have not helped. The original charges were: 1) "Willful cruelty to elder/dependent adult- great bodily injury or death" Being aware that this is an elder and the circumstances that they had her in were likely to produce great bodily harm or death still wilfully and unlawfully caused and permitted the elder to suffer inflicting unjustifiable physical pain, mental suffering and placed her in such situation endangering her health. 2) " False Imprisonment" Unlawfully violated personal liberty of the elder. 3) "Resisting an Officer" Wilfully and unlawfully resist, delay and obstruct a peace officer, a public officer and a medical technician attempting to not let them do their job. with wilful cruelty to elder causing harm or probable death. After all this cruelty against this senior the kidnappers used their victim, who has alzheimers dementia, to dismiss these criminal charges against them and remove her restraining order against them as well. Till this day my mom still lives threatened with her kidnappers. This is only ten percent of what I know has really been happening to my mom since I am being denied the police report.
Conservatorship from January 16th, 2013- September 6, 2013. Case # 37-2012-00152285-PR-CP-CTL

The last ice age moulded the landscape of South Võrumaa so that there are many lakes and valleys.

The lakes are connected by the River Rõuge or Ajo, which starts from the valley Tindiorg.
Tindiorg, Külmorg, Mõhkorg, Ööbikuorg, Tinopeetri, Hinni, Sikasoo and Järveotsa are the tributary valleys of Rõuge primeval valley. Ööbikuorg (Nightingale Valley), that borders the ancient fort is the most well-known. The valley is 300 m long and 12–15 m deep.
Useful information: In spring, when the European bird cherries bloom, the valley is filled with singing nightingales, that's also where the names comes from.

Why Downsizing Makes Sense for Sony
Last gen (7th), the ps3 started off poorly to say the least. With waning developer support and consumer interest, Sony had to work really hard to court consumers. Also, with an expensive console and Nintendo ruling the casual and family markets, it meant that games aimed at that audience were no longer feasible.
Against that backdrop, Sony began expanding its first party offerings in the direction of the "hardcore" market who would be willing to shell out $600, which saw studios not only expand but change direction. This saw the decline of certain genres on the system, mostly platformers, and a rash of games targeted at a more adult demographic(shooters and racing).
The expansions of these studios were also fueled by the hardware it self. Sony's Cell technology, while impressive, was very difficult to use and optimize and along with the demands of HD gaming, saw many studios take on personnel quickly in an effort to cope.
The outcome of these efforts were individually mixed, but the overall effort meant that sony eventually found their way in the 7th gen, and are now poised to have the PS3 overtake the Wii in 2-3 years time. Bear in mind that the PS3 is yet to be officially priced below that of the Wii Launch price.
However, this gen (8th) has seen Sony bolt out the gate ahead of Microsoft and the WiiU seems momentum-less for the short term at least. The result is two-fold. For one thing, they may no longer need as many first party games. They have retained third party support in general and thanks to a more developer friendly attitude and hardware, they have seen record support from PC game makers. Many first party games have performed poorly and sending these out into an even more crowded release calendar will not do them any favors. It's also worth noting that many of the franchises launched on the PS3 are either seeing or on the verge of seeing franchise fatigue. Games such as Resistance are a big risk given the progressive decline in sales.
The second consequence is a change in the types of games needed. First party shooters and racing games may not be as crucial this time around. What is needed are the games like Puppeteer and Tearaway that are aimed at the family market that has not as yet returned to Nintendo. The time to court these people is now, and we may have already seen early efforts in the form of Knack which seems designed to play with a younger child controlling a stronger second character.
This could explain the project cancellations and downsizing that has been occurring recently at Sony studios. They quite frankly don't need as many games as before and they definitely don't need the same types as previously.
This is not the first time that we've seen something like this and it certainly won't be the last. Think back to Microsoft at the beginning of the last gen as well. Microsoft came out the gate strong with many First Party studios and platforming games such as Kameo from Rare studios. However, as they found their audience and stronger third party support, they too changed directions. No more platformers came and fewer first party studios were retained. This gen, with a good but comparatively slower start, they once again have begun to bolster their first party stable.
The point of all this is that First party efforts are fluid and need to be diverted to flow in the direction that the company finds itself going at the time. While many fans welcome the sight of the PS4 tearing away from the pack, the success means changes and those may not always occur in your favor.
This affects the Playstation brand.
I'm not sure they are decreasing numbers because they want to, but because they can't afford to do otherwise. I believe they have to focus on the key IPs that they believe have the most potential and cut their losses at this time with other IPs.
In regards to the SSM IP, that one was too similar to Destiny initially and never recovered from the reveal of Destiny and their attempts to change the IP to be different. That's just how things go in this day and age when developing a game. Sometimes someone beats you to the punch.
I don't see it that way. The reason why the PS3 ended up so strong was imho just because of the continuous support for 1st party games. When MS sat back and tried to safe money and made deals with companies like Activision (because MS didn't really care and has the money to even make a loss on that) Sony knew it could not do that. And to me PlayStation, way more than Xbox, is about the games. Sure they want to make money and it's a business, but Sony has always been that way and releasing that many great games proved that and also made their console win or tie with the 360 (I don't want to argue who won last gen here).
So why would Sony change that? They were a arrogant before and some time after the PS3 launched, they said that, wanted to be the boss of their own platform and show 3rd party that it's them who make better games on a hardware that is really strong. They have learned from that mistake and now work closely with 3rd party and indies. But they also learned how important 1st party games and original IP are and they sure won't make the mistake MS did. Imho this has all to do with Sony setting a new focus in business, which is normal. Since the PS3 launch and since those studios were extended some time has passed. The industry changes, the demands change, the world changes, from social media to new ways to play, new experiences people want, new competitors, it's all new and Sony has to update its internal structure to be able to compete with that, to maintain theri position. Sony is as we know investing heavily in future tech like cloud gaming,social gaming, VR and probably a lot more according to things we know from their press conferences (not just PS but Sony in gerneral.)
Also, Sony Corp has had a hard time, financial problems and all that and pretty much the entire Corp was and is still in the process of changing drastically to work more efficient, focused and consumer but also profit oriented. They had many layoffs and made many interesting, sometimes surprising business decision, all with the focus of staying relevant, making profit and even staying alive. And these changes do affect every part of Sony, some merge, some even hire, but in others people are getting fired. That's how it works and I admire Sony for their will to drastically change in a drastically changing world.
It does always sound bitter and sad if devs get fired and projects get canceled, but it's always been that way, just in the time we are now, we know more about it and these things happen easier, simply because gaming got bigger and the cost get higher and the risk for certain projects are just getting too high. I prefer Sony to make these hard decisions instead of PS or Sony getting into serious trouble a few years down the line where everyone would then come and say: "I saw it coming. Why didn't they; and why didn't they change?"
They are not going to close all their studios, but with an influx of games from devs that are new to the console platform as well as a strong hardware start, they simply may not need to take as many risks as they did last gen.
they may have done well last gen in terms of hardware sales, but did they make much money?
I agree with the premise that this is a necessary evil. It will lower the overhead of the company, and individual studios, and hopefully lead to better profit. However, I don't think it is as much about risk as it is about making themselves as efficient as possible so that they can continue to be the company that their consumers expect them to be.
It costs a lot of money to maintain all those studios at the same time. To be honest a lot of times I've wondered how Sony afforded to have the amount of 1st party studios they did for so long, because despite all the exclusives only a select number of them sold really well.
It might be better for Sony to downsize in the long run, because maybe then they can focus on giving more games the advertising they deserve. Having all those studios may be great and all, but when you're trying to support so many titles it's easy for some of them to get lost in the shuffle and not get the the proper Ad dollars and exposure towards them.
A lot of the layoffs in the gaming division have come off the heels of the recent news of Sony closing numerous Retail Store's and shuttering their PC business, and it definitely seems like a big reason for the layoffs are a result of those other deficiencies in the company.
Expects $1.1 bln net loss this year, core operations weak
* Plans separate unit for TV business, sells PCs division
* 5,000 job cuts to help lower costs by nearly $1 bln/year
TOKYO, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Sony Corp Chief Executive Offer Kazuo Hirai is seeking to cure a TV business that has lost $7.8 billion over a decade by isolating it to speed up decisions on future strategy.
By doing this Sony is saving about 1 billion a year!
But also, they are cutting off those parts that are netting such huge Loss for them, So taking the Hit now, but Offset those Loss reductions to Later for Good, I think Kaz and the Board will take that, to stop such huge Loss. I mean in 10 years accumulated time Sony's TV section lost over 8 Billion!
But yet, that also shows How Japan differ's than the west in How the Exchange of Stock market differ's than the west,many such billionaires from the west get or have been frustrated in the fact they cannot get anywhere in changing japans culture against Hostile Take over's.
Its the Bitter Pill vs the Perception of West Hedge fund's as "Vultures" and corporate raiding that the west does vs in Japan its viewed with Disdain.
Thats why Sony's board and Kaz voted
"Sony's board of directors has unanimously concluded that continuing to own 100 percent of our entertainment business is the best path forward and is integral to Sony's strategy," Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai said in a letter to Loeb, which was released by the company.
Think about that Sony in about 10 years time and they lost over 8 billion from the TV section and the Loss from the Playstation 3 and PC, and yet they still Told Loeb NO!
This downsizing is likely to coincide with that and has probably been on the cards for quite sometime.
Most business's make changes before a new financial year begins and this looks to be just another part of the ongoing restructure.

Virgin Islands, a group of small islands in the West Indies, just east of Puerto Rico, between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. There are more than 130 islands in the group, most of them uninhabited. Their total land area is 192 square miles (497 km2). The United States has jurisdiction over three of the largest islands—St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John—and about 60 others. The rest of the group is a possession of Great Britain.
|Facts in brief about the U.S. Virgin Islands
|Capital: Charlotte Amalie (since 1917).
|Government: U.S. Congress—one delegate in the House of Representatives who votes only in committees. Territorial legislature—a one-house legislature of 15 senators.
|Area: 134 mi2 (347 km2). Coastline—117 mi (188 km).
|Elevation: Highest—Crown Mountain on St. Thomas, 1,556 ft (474 m) above sea level; Lowest—sea level along the coasts.
|Population: Current estimate—108,000; density, 806 per mi2 (311 per km2); distribution (2000 census), 93 percent urban, 7 percent rural. 2000 census—108,612.
|Chief products: Agriculture—beef cattle, chickens, eggs, fruits, goats, hogs, milk, nuts, vegetables. Manufacturing—alumina, concrete products, electonics, petroleum products, pharmaceuticals, rum, textiles, and watches.
|Flag and seal: The U.S. Virgin Islands flag, adopted in 1917, has a golden eagle with an olive branch in one claw and three arrows in the right claw on a white background. A yellow breast, the official bird of the islands, perched on the branch of a yellow cedar, the official tree, appears on the seal, adopted in 1991. The three major islands of the U.S. Virgin Islands—St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas—are also represented on the seal.
The total area is 132 square miles (342 km2). Of volcanic origin, the islands are rocky and mountainous. The climate is generally mild and sunny, with an average annual temperature of 79° F. (26° C.). Trade winds from the northeast bring moisture to the windward shores but leave the lee shores fairly dry. Hurricanes sometimes occur during August, September, or October.
St. Croix, the largest island, has an area of about 84 square miles (218 km2). It is the least rugged of the islands. Along the northern coast are low, wooded mountains; in the south are fertile, rolling hills.
St. Thomas, covering 32 square miles (83 km2), has fine bays and beaches and a fringe of small islands offshore. The highest elevation in the United States islands is Crown Mountain (1,556 feet [474 m] above sea level) on St. Thomas.
St. John, with an area of about 20 square miles (52 km2), is rugged, with heavily forested hills. Like St. Thomas, it has deep bays and fine, white beaches. Virgin Islands National Park covers most of the inland area and includes much coastal water.
The islands have few natural resources. Much of the level land is too dry for farming, but can be used for pasture for livestock. St. Croix has the largest amount of land under cultivation. Sugarcane was once the most important crop but its importance has declined. Manufacturing is most developed on St. Croix, where rum, refined petroleum, and watches are produced.
Tourism is the islands' leading industry. St. Thomas and St. John are the chief tourist centers. Among attractions are the pleasant climate, beautiful scenery, and water sports. Other attractions are the free ports, which sell at bargain prices goods imported from all over the world.
The total 2000 population of the islands was 108,612. The population density was 822.8 persons per square mile (317.6 per km2), about 11 times that of the United States. Charlotte Amalie (on St. Thomas), the capital and chief port of the islands, had a population of 11,004. Christiansted and Frederiksted, on St. Croix, had 2,637 and 732 residents, respectively.
The people of the Virgin Islands are United States citizens. Most of them are of African ancestry; a few are of European descent. Several thousand persons from the United States live on the islands as permanent or part-time residents. There are also a large number of aliens, mainly black laborers from other Caribbean islands. The most widely spoken language is English.
School attendance is compulsory from age 5 through 16. The University of the Virgin Islands is in Charlotte Amalie.
The islands are under the supervision of the U.S. Department of the Interior, but are largely self-governing. The governor and lieutenant governor are elected for four years and members of the legislature, which consists of one house, for two. A delegate is sent to the U.S. House of Representatives.
The Virgin Islands were inhabited by prehistoric peoples as early as 100 A.D. Christopher Columbus reached the islands in 1493. During the 17th century they were used as strongholds by buccaneers, and were held successively by Spain, France, the Netherlands, and Denmark. In 1917 the United States bought the islands from Denmark for $25,000,000, and 10 years later granted the inhabitants full citizenship. After World War II the United States initiated public works projects and an economic development program. Beginning in the 1950's, tourism grew rapidly. In the 1980's, the islands were facing several problems, including increased unemployment and crime. In 1995 hurricane Marilyn caused widespread destruction, especially on St. Thomas.
The British islands are north and east of the United States islands. Their combined land area is 59 square miles (153 km2), and their population in 1991 totaled 16,749. Of the 16 inhabited islands, the largest are Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and Jost Van Dyke. The British Virgin Islands are governed by an administrator and executive council. The capital is Road Town, on Tortola.

Considerations in trademark licensing in the UAE
The licensing of trademarks is an essential component of various commercial agreements facilitating business operations in the UAE. While franchise agreements are obvious examples of commercial agreement underpinned by trademark licenses, various other commercial agreements also contain or may contain detailed provisions related to the use of trademarks, including for example agency-, distribution- and in certain circumstances manufacturing agreements.
Adequately dealing with the rights associated with the use of trademarks in commercial agreements is critical to the owners of these valuable intellectual property rights, while it is equally critical to licensees who may be investing significantly in ventures where the rights associated with the use of the licensed trademarks are not fully appreciated…
