Easy solution, just attend a Police Commission meeting and they will fix the problem. They have established that driving ove rthe speed limit is unacceptable and I'm sure they will afford you the same protection as the residents of Queen Street. Any elected or appointed officals on your street, that would always help?
To the Editor:
As a long-time resident of Newtown, there are many topics on which I could opine, but the one most on my mind now is traffic safety as students from K to 12 return to school. I am reminded, almost daily, of the reckless disregard for drivers using not only our state roads like Routes 25, 302, and 34, but local roads such as the road I live on, Juniper Road, and Elm Drive.
Yesterday, I had to quickly steer out of the way of a box truck who took Juniper (off route 302) through to Birch Rise Drive, then speed through the stop sign as he turned onto Elm. The same day, I saw a huge tractor trailer truck, south-bound on Elm Drive, careen around the corner onto Hawley Road where he proceeded to turn right onto Route 25.
When I vented to my husband, he said these drivers are "cutting out the light at Route 25."
Since neither of these events occurred during heavily trafficked hours, I wonder what these roads are going to look like when school starts. Not only are students endangered, but cyclists, pedestrians, and other drivers who use these roads. Not to mention children playing in front of their homes and sometimes wandering into the street!
One final word to all the people who barrel through the intersection of Elm Drive and Brushy Hill Road: what part of STOP do you not understand? There, you are putting golfers, skateboarders, other vehicles, and Dickinson park users at risk! Maybe having speed tables near hazardous intersections in the borough is not such a bad idea after all!
Thank you for letting me vent in my beloved Bee,
Mary Thomas

Self-reported memory changes preceded mental decline by about 6 years, study says
BOSTON Memory problems that are often dismissed as a normal part of aging may not be so harmless.
Noticing you have had a decline beyond the occasional misplaced car keys or forgotten name could be the very earliest sign of Alzheimer's, several research teams are reporting.
Doctors often regard people who complain their memory is slipping as "the worried well," but the new studies show they may well have reason to worry, said Maria Carrillo, a senior scientist at the Alzheimer's Association. One study found self-reported memory changes preceded broader mental decline by about six years. Another tied these changes to evidence on brain scans that dementia is setting in.
"Maybe these people know something about themselves" that their doctors don't, "and maybe we should pay attention to them," said Dorene Rentz, a Massachusetts General Hospital psychologist. She helped run one of the studies, discussed Wednesday at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Boston.
About 35 million people worldwide have dementia, and Alzheimer's disease is the most common type. It causes a slow decline in thinking and reasoning ability. Memory trouble that disrupts daily life is one symptom.
Don't panic, though: The researchers are not talking about "senior moments," those small, temporary lapses most everyone has, said Creighton Phelps, a neuroscientist with the U.S. National Institute on Aging. They are talking about real memory loss, in which the information doesn't come back to you later, not even when people remind you of what you forgot, he explained.
A true decline is a change in your normal pattern. "You're starting to forget things now that you normally didn't — doctor appointments, luncheon engagements, the kids are coming over … things that a year or two ago you wouldn't," said Dr. Ronald Petersen, director of the Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's disease Research Center.
"If you notice a change in your pattern of either yourself or a loved one, seek a health care professional's evaluation," said Heather Snyder, the Alzheimer's Association's director of medical and scientific operations. "It could be a lack of sleep or nutritional, but it may be something more than that."
But don't worry about small, common memory slips, said Dr. Reisa Sperling, director of the Alzheimer's center at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
"Every time you forget someone's name, you don't need to go running to the doctor," she said.

|Descriptor and citation retrieval in the medical behavioral sciences literature: retrieval overlaps and novelty distribution.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 10303299 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Search results for nine topics in the Medical Behavioral Sciences are reanalyzed to compare the overall performance of descriptor and citation search strategies in identifying relevant and novel documents. Overlap percentages between an aggregate "descriptor-based" database (MEDLINE, EXCERPTA MEDICA, PSYCINFO) and an aggregate "citation-based" database (SCISEARCH, SOCIAL SCISEARCH) ranged from 1% to 26%, with a median overlap of 8% relevant retrievals found using both search strategies. For seven topics in which both descriptor and citation strategies produced reasonably substantial retrievals, two patterns of search performance and novelty distribution were observed: 1) Where descriptor and citation retrieval showed little overlap, novelty retrieval percentages differed by 17-23% between the two strategies; 2) Topics with a relatively high percentage retrieval overlap showed little difference (1-4%) in descriptor and citation novelty retrieval percentages. These results reflect the varying partial congruence of two literature networks and represent two different types of subject relevance.

Colby Lewis closing in on Ranger record for accurarcy
Right-hander Colby Lewis can set a Rangers record for accuracy in Sunday's start against Detroit.
In three starts, Lewis has allowed only one walk: to Adam Dunn of the Chicago White Sox in the first inning of the season opener. Since then, Lewis has worked 18 2/3 consecutive innings without a walk.
John "Way Back" Wasdin holds the club record for consecutive innings without a walk at 23 2/3, accomplished in 2005.
"One thing about Colby is he doesn't beat himself," Washington said. "When he can hit his spots, to me, he's as good as any pitcher out there. He's been consistently able to do that this year."
Lewis is not yet close to the American League record for consecutive innings without a walk. Bill Fischer had 841/3 consecutive innings without a walk for Kansas City in 1962.

Exposing kids to porn can be considered in custody cases
Published March 13, 2014 8:34 pm
Bill passes • Would allow judge to consider it in parental-rights disputes.
This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2014, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
The House gave final passage Thursday to a bill to allow judges to consider intentional exposure of children to pornography by a parent in child custody and parental-rights disputes.
The House voted 67-0 to pass SB227, and sent it to Gov. Gary Herbert for his signature.
Sen. Todd Weiler, R-Woods Cross, the bill's sponsor, said in earlier debate that cases are reported where a parent tells a child "to watch this to grow up or be a man."
In committee, one parent testified that her ex-husband was sending such material to her teenage son through social media, but the law did not clearly allow a judge to consider that in custody disputes.
"Those incidents do happen," Weiler said, and the bill makes clear "that a judge can consider that."

Burlington International Airport now has an alpine vegetation area on the roof of the parking garage. / EMILY McMANAMY/Free Press
The roof of the tall parking garage at Burlington International Airport is worth a visit.
No signs point the way to the roof, and no hints of its existence can be found on the airports soon-to-be-updated website. But even without public notices, the garages green roof, designed by the Burlington firm of Freeman, French, Freeman working with landscape architect Mike Lawrence , is one of many features that make the airport an attractive introduction to the city.
And other changes are coming or already here. The airports welcoming sign on Airport Drive is freshly painted, other new signs are going up, Skinny Pancake and Chubby Muffin may become the new snack vendors, a solicitation will soon go out for a new restaurant operator, and the airport is poised to hire a new marketing staffer to reach out to Quebec travelers and others who might otherwise turn to New York airports in Albany or Plattsburgh, or Montreals Trudeau International Airport.
The garages green roof was installed in 2010 by the Linden LAND Group of Addison and more improvements are coming. In the bare space remaining on the garage roof conduits are in place for a solar-power array that will soon power the garage and perhaps part of the terminal, said Heather Kendrew, the airports director of maintenance, engineering and environment. That should happen, she said, in the next couple of years.
The airport has been in the news frequently over the last year as the base for the Vermont Air National Guards F-16s and as the Air Forces preferred Guard base for the new jets, the F-35A. Beyond that, as it has grown over the years, the airports noise has become an issue for close neighbors. Burlington Mayor Miro Weinberger launched his successful campaign for mayor from a seat on the Airport Commission.
Even as Weinberger was raising questions as a commissioner about the citys handling of airport finances, the addition to the north garage was proceeding and the green roof was being installed. Kendrew said the roof, aside from being attractive, also satisfies a South Burlington landscaping requirement for development projects. South Burlington is the airports host city.
Green roofs are increasingly a building requirement in Germany, said Linden LANDs Rebecca Lindenmeyr, and they are more and more common in American cities.
In Germany, now, she said, you can be on a roof top and look down and see green.
That isnt exactly the case at the airport, where the close view down is mostly of concrete, but the rooftop garden is a quiet escape from airport noise, and it offers a grand view of the Green Mountains, the broad airport expanse and South Burlingtons tree-lined streets.
The airports green roof is about 8,000 square feet. It arrived in vegetated two-foot modules, like a flat from the nursery, Lindenmeyr said, filled with a gravelly shale and planted with sedums. The modules grow together seamlessly after the heavy flats are lifted by a crane to the roof.
Lawrence said the plants are collected from mountain tops on several continents by a Maryland firm, which then propagates them and pre-grows them for applications such as the airport roof top.
Theyre all Alpine plants, Lawrence said of the 45 varieties at the airport, calling them well suited to an austere environment.
Green roofs provide some insulation for occupied buildings (irrelevant to a parking garage), and they also filter and soak up storm water (up to an inch of rain when theyre dry, Lawrence said), but their main appeal is that theyre attractive.
At the airport, a roof visit is easy: take the north skywalk to the garage and the stairs or elevator to the sixth floor. The roof has benches, a picnic table, and on a late summer day, a nice breeze ruffles the sedums (chosen, Lawrence said, because theyre a leaf succulent that changes colors during the growing season).
And as for pointers to visitors that the airport garage has a roof worth visiting, Kendrew says markers should be in place sometime this winter.

Evaluate in vivo mucosal adjuvants alone or in combination with FMDV vaccine for induction of rapid protection in swine. Determine cross-neutralization and cross-protection provided by capsid-based vaccines engineered with chimeric VP1 G-H loops containing immunogenic or toleragenic epitopes. An epitope map will be created using anti-sera from murine bearing cross-reactive immune responses between FMDV types O and SAT3. Testing chimeric GH loop bearing hAd5 vectors in swine will be conducted to assess cross-neutralization. Challenge studies will be performed utilizing homo-typic and heterotypic virus. 2. Evaluate the role of non-structural proteins in CSFV virulence and protection against infection will be performed through; complete cloning of CSFV structural proteins into Baculovirus transfer vectors, completing the production of recombinant Baculovirus expressing parental CSFV structural proteins and of autonomous replication CSFV defective genomes, and by completing the immunogenicity studies in naïve swine with sera from infected swine. 3. Development and validation of the GCSPRI device will be done to use as rapid detection of FMDV and CSFV. Identify diagnostic reagents and develop host immune response characterization. Assay conditions and sensor chip configurations will be optimized to capture host leukocyte populations. In vivo virus detection will be tested through immune response by GCSPRI and by traditional bioassay.

Mushroom Teas
Some of Fungi Perfecti's earliest products were mushroom teas, naturally soothing to body and spirit. Though our product line has grown tremendously over the years, we still offer mushroom teas. They've been good to us, and we think they'll be good to you. 1 oz net weight. One package makes more than a dozen cups, and includes a tea infuser and instructions. Refills do not include infuser or instructions.
Directions for Use
We recommend steeping 1 teaspoon of tea mixture per cup in very hot water for 20–40 minutes (longer steep times will produce a more balanced flavor), then straining. Or you can prepare the tea by placing it in a tea-ball. We like to reuse the tea 2 or 3 times to maximize its potential.

50 Cent Channels Inner Angelina Jolie in 'MaleFiftyCent' Parody
Could 50 Cent be the next Angelina Jolie? Not exactly …
The 38-year-old best known for his rapping skills took to Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday night to parody the box office smash Maleficent while promoting his new album, Animal Ambition.
The G-Unit rapper joked that his new Disney film MaleFiftyCent was going to be a major hit while insisting, "This film ain't going to no Redbox."
In the "trailer" for the parody, the rapper — dressed as the Disney villain — tells Princess Aurora, "I've been shot nine times. I'm not afraid of no little white girl." The trailer finishes with "Get witch or die tryin'," a play on the title of 50's 2003 debut album.
The "Candy Shop" artist later took to Instagram posting a picture with the late night host.
50 Cent's album Animal Ambition is out now on iTunes.
What do you think of this parody? Could it be as big as 50 thinks? Let us know in the comments below!

The state of Florida is dispatching a National Guard C-130 cargo plane to evacuate patients from a hospital in the Florida Keys as Tropical Storm Rita churns toward the chain of islands.
Authorities have ordered residents and tourists to evacuate the Keys. State Meteorologist Ben Nelson says some areas of the Keys could get a storm surge of seven to nine feet if Rita hits at high tide.
The National Guard cargo plane will evacuate 22 patients from Key West's hospital to Sebring, near Lake Okeechobee.d Several critically ill patients have already been evacuated by ambulance and helicopter to hospitals in Miami.
State Emergency Management Director Craig Fugate says Keys residents ordered to evacuate should leave now. He says if they wait for the next advisory to make a decision, then their window will close and they may find themselves cut off from escape routes.

An introduction from Prof. David
Rosner and Prof. Gerald
In Fall, 2002, our book,
Deceit and Denial: The Deadly Politics of Industrial
Pollution, was published jointly by the University of California Press and the Milbank Fund as one in a series that addressed a variety of aspects of health policy. Briefly, the book looked at questions regarding how two industries, the lead industry and the chemical industry, reacted when faced with information regarding the potential dangers of their products to human health during the twentieth century.
The book was unusual in a number of respects, including the fact that a number of the chapters on the two primary cases were based on documents historians rarely if ever use in critical evaluations of corporate behavior. These documents were internal company correspondence, memos and minutes of meetings of both the lead and chemical industry trade associations and some of their member companies. The extensive cache of documents we gathered had become available during the previous number of years through legal proceedings in cases involving injured children, consumers and workers.
The book used documents gathered during the "Discovery" phase of various lawsuits against the lead and chemical industries, including the member companies of the Lead Industries Association (LIA) and the Manufacturing Chemists Association (MCA), (today renamed the American Chemistry Council), and its member companies.
We have become embroiled as expert witnesses in these legal disputes because the historical record is critical in determining whether the lead and vinyl industries should be held accountable for harm to individuals and communities. One case has been brought by the Attorney General of the State of Rhode Island against the lead industry. Here, the State is suing for recovery of costs associated with the damage to children caused by lead paint on the walls of houses in the state and for the costs of removing the lead from the walls of up to 80 percent of the homes in Rhode Island.
The second set of cases is the reason we post this web site. Here, various chemical companies, specifically those who produce or use vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), a suspected human carcinogen, are being sued by workers who have developed a very rare cancer called angiosarcoma of the liver. This cancer is so rare that fewer than two-score cases of it are identified in this country in any given year.
The industry lawyers are particularly concerned about two chapters in
Deceit and Denial that detail how, in the early 1970s, the industry planned to deceive the government about industry's own findings that VCM caused cancer in animals exposed to relatively low levels of exposure.
The documents we uncovered while researching our book have received a fair amount of attention from the media. Bill Moyers' "Trade
Secrets," a PBS documentary which traces the vinyl story, used documents we identified and interviewed us extensively. A Toxic Comedy Picture that was broadcast on HBO,
Blue Vinyl, directed by Judith Helfand, also integrated material we identified into the story of vinyl chloride. Both these documentaries have won major awards, and we are proud that we played a role in these productions.
One vinyl chloride case is now scheduled to go to trial in September,2005. In the legal proceedings for this case, Gerald Markowitz has been deposed for five days by lawyers for Monsanto, Airco, Dow, Union Carbide, Goodyear, Goodrich, and Shell among others large corporations. Following his deposition a number of unusual events occurred. The press and the foundation that supported our work were subpoenaed for all of their records concerning our book, their relationship to each other and the peer review process. Following this, five of the eight outside peer reviewers were also subpoenaed to provide all of their records related to the book and to appear at depositions for questioning by company lawyers (see the
article in Chronicle of Higher Education that summarizes these events).
In addition to these highly unusual, if unprecedented, intrusions into the academic peer review process, the chemical industry hired Philip Scranton, Professor of History at Rutgers in Camden, to write an expert report about two of the chapters and to attack our professional standards, ethics and integrity.
We are presenting this website primarily for the community of historians who must undoubtedly be confused by the articles and discussions that have recently appeared. Here we provide the reader with Scranton's expert report, our response, reviews of our book by the academic community, and a link to websites that provides historians with access to a selection of documents from the chemical industry papers. Because one of the key accusations is that we inadequately and inaccurately documented our statements in
Deceit and
Denial, we will be posting on this site the documents we used in our footnotes for the scholarly community to evaluate. In the meantime, we encourage the reader to visit two other sites where an extensive selection(10,000 pages) of these and other documents about the vinyl chloride story are available:

The end of Fannie and Freddie?
The Fannie Mae headquarters in Washington, DC.
It could be curtains for Fannie and Freddie. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are government back mortgage entities that taxpayers bailed out to the tune of billions of dollars after the housing market crash.
Washington has been debating how to reform Fannie and Freddie ever since the crash. There is currently a proposal in Congress that would dismantle Fannie and Freddie, and Marketplace's economics guy Chris Farrell is a big supporter of the idea.
"Everyone agrees we need to do something about them," Farrell says. "I say, look, the taxpayer is still on the hook. Let them fade into the dustbin of history."
If Fannie and Freddie were killed off, so to speak, interest rates on mortgages will go up, and, according to Farrell, the 30 year fixed-rate mortgage will likely disappear. To this, Farrell says, "So what?"
"We have an economy where there's a lot of churn, and people lose their jobs, and they're going to move a lot," Farrell says. "So I say, why should we break so many incentives toward housing? Let's just make housing another investment."

si·lo n. pl. si·los
a. A tall cylindrical structure, usually beside a barn, in which fodder is stored
b. Development jargon, favored by the policy community, used to describe an issue-specific program that does not reflect external or cross-cutting influences
If you've spent time in the D.C. policy world (or even on the ONE blog), you've probably come across the term "silo," a word used to describe development programs that aren't integrated into the realities of the world around them.
A silo could mean funding for AIDS clinics without consideration for how to treat common co-infection with TB, or designing an education program without consideration for an appropriate school feeding system. At ONE, we promote integrated development efforts—such as the Global Health Initiative and Feed the Future—programs that are rooted in the fact that people fighting poverty have complex lives with overlapping interests and challenges. It's a fundamental assumption that people don't deal separately with health and agriculture and jobs and education in their lives, because they all spill over into one another—and therefore so should our development programs.
So, it was with a lot of enthusiasm that a few of my colleagues and I attended an event last Thursday at International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) that talked about the linkages between agriculture and health. First, a confession: those of us who attended had the words "agriculture" and "health" in our job titles, so you could argue we're doomed to be "siloed," too. But we went into the event with open minds, hoping to hear ideas about how these sectors influenced each other, and how in turn, we might communicate these links in our work for ONE.
The event was great, with dynamic speakers from the WHO and Cornell University, who were of the rare breed of thinkers who cared not just about their specific issue, but how it mattered for other sectors as well. There was much discussion about how health and nutrition dramatically impact the success or failure of a food system and its productivity, and how a productive food system creates diverse, nutritious products that in turn keep communities healthy. We also learned about how topics — including nutrition, food safety, disease and pest management, and the production chain — all have real impacts in both sectors and how dealing with them separately often leads to pitfalls for one or both.
As always, talking about breaking the silos is easier than actually breaking the silos. The speakers rightly noted that silos are prevalent in policy institutions, funding cycles, research and training processes, and that there are not always great incentives for people to integrate their work on health and agriculture. But they argued convincingly that we should be doing a better job of promoting inter-sectoral funding, programs and outcome measurement, so that government officials and donors can really see the economic benefits of a joint approach. If we can show what a wise investment jointly rooted in health and agriculture really looks like and what benefits it brings to communities, we'll be well on our way to becoming more effective development advocates.

New York Times
POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Dec 19, 2013
ZAGHOUAN, Tunisia » Hayet Saadi says the trouble with her son Aymen began more than a year ago, when he was 16. He started attending the mosque five times a day, she said. Then he began talking of jihad, and of going to Syria to join the rebels fighting the government of President Bashar Assad. In March, he skipped his high school exams and left home.
Finally, on Oct. 30, Saadi came home to find the police surrounding her house. A suicide bomber had blown himself up in Sousse, a seaside resort about an hour's drive south. Another was caught before he could detonate his payload. The police confiscated the family's computers and phones, and her husband spent the rest of the day at the police station. He called her later from there. "Yes, it is your child," he told her. Aymen is now in prison.
In the weeks since the attack, Aymen's trajectory from promising middle-class student to potential suicide bomber has shaken Tunisia, despite the Islamist government's recent show of moderation in striking a compromise with its secular opponents. Homegrown suicide attacks, previously unheard-of here, are the latest sign of spreading radicalization among young people in a country that has become fertile ground for Islamist groups recruiting fighters for the conflicts convulsing the region, from Libya to Syria.
For now, jihadi violence in Tunisia is on a low boil, with two political assassinations and 30 members of the security forces killed this year. But there is growing concern that hundreds of young volunteers — possibly even several thousand — have been recruited through a widening network of hard-line Salafist mosques and then trained to fight in Syria, with the potential to return home to cause more trouble, as Aymen and his companion did.
"Even if just 200 come back, that could cause real problems," said Mehdi Taje, director of Global Prospect Intelligence and a specialist on North Africa. And Syria is not the only place radicalized Tunisians have gone to fight. They have also been found with jihadi groups in Mali, Algeria, Libya and Iraq.
There is a precedent right next door. Algerians who went to Afghanistan in the 1980s to fight Soviet forces returned to fuel an Islamic movement and then a civil war at home that killed some 200,000 in the 1990s. Twenty years later, Algeria is still dealing with insurgents, who have retreated into the desert.
The Tunisian police and army officials have warned of signs that Islamist insurgents may be laying the groundwork for an armed insurgency in their own country, which lies between Algeria and lawless Libya.
Since Tunisia began the Arab Spring almost three years ago by ousting its longtime dictator, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, who had forcibly secularized the country, fundamentalist Salafi groups have sprouted in almost every town. They draw thousands of young men and women to their mosques, where they recruit volunteers ostensibly for missionary work in Tunisia, but also for jihad.
Some began vigilante attacks, including an assault in September 2012 on the U.S. Embassy in Tunis, two days after the fatal attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. In the spring, armed groups also appeared in the hills bordering Algeria, apparently remnants of insurgents retreating from the French intervention in Mali.
Tunisia's top general, Rachid Ammar, warned in a television interview in June that militant Islamists lodged in the mountains on Tunisia's western border were training quasi-military units and were set on overthrowing the Tunisian state and setting up Islamic rule.
"This is not terrorism, it's a rebellion," warned the general, who has since retired. "This is one of the stages of rebellion."
The surge in youthful Salafist followers like Aymen was also evidence of a popular social movement. The Salafist mosques provide open spaces for inquiring youth who are lured by charismatic preachers offering a stirring mix of camaraderie and talk of holy war and self-sacrifice in the name of God.
Although most Salafis insist that their activity is focused on educational and humanitarian causes, it is clear from dozens of interviews with families of the recruits, analysts and government officials that a growing number of young men are being drawn into militancy.
In August, the government outlawed one Salafist group, Ansar al-Shariah, as a terrorist threat. Led by men who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan — many of them released from prison since the start of the Arab Spring — the group has recruited criminals and smugglers, and has also drawn many young recruits into its ranks, security officials say.
The Islamist government originally tried to woo the Salafis to its side, but as violence increased, it began a crackdown aimed primarily at Ansar al-Shariah. The police say that since May they have smashed several cells of the group, detained 300 suspected members, and killed or arrested its main military leaders. In October, six friends who were Ansar members were killed in a clash with security forces in the countryside south of Tunis.
"We hit them very hard," Mohammed Ali Aroui, an Interior Ministry spokesman, said in an interview. "Ansar al-Shariah is in the past now; you don't see their signs or slogans or tents anywhere." The group's leader, Seifallah Ben Hassine, known as Abu Ayadh, is thought to have escaped to Libya, he said.
Under the pressure, Ansar members have retreated underground, but recruiting for jihad continues, by Ansar and other groups, through mosques and religious associations. The volunteers are organized by a network of facilitators who supply money, cars and safe houses in various towns.
The recruits travel mostly through Libya, where they receive military training in camps in and around Benghazi. From there they fly to Turkey, the main access point for rebels entering Syria. The Tunisian police have set up border controls to stop anyone younger than 35 suspected of traveling for jihad. But Tunisia's borders remain porous, as fighters and weapons cross to and from Libya.
Saadi says her son seems to have taken that route. Aymen, now 17, first tried to go to Syria in March when he left home, she said, but the police stopped him at one border check. In August, he took off again and was gone for over two months.
Aymen's plan was always to go fight in Syria, but in Libya some jihadists ordered the two bombers to go back to Tunisia, his mother said. His mother learned of her son's account from one of his prison wardens.
"I am not sure what he was trying to do," she said.
The Libyan jihadists, whose faces were masked, told the two youths that it was not the time to go to Syria.
"The fight is in Tunisia right now; we want to create an emirate there," they said. When the two youths showed some reluctance, the masked men insisted, saying that they had no one else for the job. Government officials confirmed the account.
From the time Aymen started attending mosque regularly, it took barely 18 months until he was caught trying to blow himself up among a group of tourists at the tomb of Habib Bourguiba, the Tunisian post-independence leader, in the town of Monastir. His parents, a primary schoolteacher and an agricultural engineer, had hoped he would follow his older brother to university. He was good at math.
His mother did not blame the mosque for leading him astray. None of his school friends wanted to go to Syria, she added. She blamed other strangers, "older men and sheikhs with cars," for influencing her son.
"It is a shame to call a young man a terrorist," she said of her son. "I see that he is a victim, and the real big terrorists are still roaming on the streets and young men like my son can be influenced."

SANTA FE, N.M.—A proposal to revamp how much employers pay into New Mexico's unemployment insurance program is heading to the House.
The Senate approved an overhaul of the financing system on a 40-2 vote on Tuesday.
One provision would require employers to pay a higher tax rate if they have a high workforce turnover that causes unemployment claims to exceed the employer's payments into the system.
Employers with the worst unemployment experience currently hit a maximum contribution rate and then other businesses subsidize those employers by paying more to keep the program solvent.
Supporters of the proposed rate-setting formula said it would eliminate the political influences of lawmakers periodically changing tax rate schedules based on cash balances in the unemployment compensation fund.

JBS USA's request for an emergency permit to enlarge part of its hog slaughtering plant in Butchertown was denied Monday by the Metro Board of Zoning Adjustment.
JBS attorney Glenn price argued that a proposed 162-square-foot expansion was needed to compy with government safety regulations for workers and to ensure humane treatment of hogs when they are rendered unconscious at the JBS plant, 1200 Story Ave.
But attorney Jon Salomon, representing the Butchertown Neighborhood Association, said JBS had not been cited by any outside agency for any violations and that there was no emergency. ...

NEW MCDE alert! Awesome gospel inspired 4 Track House 12" from THE brother from another...Motor City! TIP! It was in 2011 when Danilo Plessow aka Motor City Drum Ensemble released his DJ-Kicks compilation to a stoked crowd, showing an unusual amount of wisdom for a producer that young. Now, he returns to his best-known moniker - having been on hold since that exciting remix for Midland's "What We Know" in early 2012 - with another reboot of sorts: choosing his own MCDE imprint as stage for the new record, Danilo directly confronts the legacy of his insanely loved "Raw Cuts" that brought the bounce back to Deep House, injecting a blueprint grown stale with much-needed emotions and rejuvenating DJ crates worldwide. It is surprising, then, that the latest entry in the series is only the tenth release in a discography seemingly consisting only of classics, but as MCDE's A&R, Danilo & his partner Pablo Valentino (FACES Records / Creative Swing Alliance) intentionally kept the young label's artist roster small, focussing on quality output instead and giving the sound room to breathe. While there are plenty of successful House templates floating around, none defined its roots in sampling as thoroughly as MCDE & Raw Cuts did, and it's happening again with these four impressive workouts condensing all we love about the genre, resulting in a show-stopping record sure to set even the most distinguished floors on fire. 2013 should consider itself a lucky year, because Motor City Drum Ensemble is back in the producer's seat and that's a very good thing."

November 29, 2015
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - The Alabama House has passed a bill that
would prohibit motorists from sending or reading text messages on a
cell phone while driving.
The bill by Rep. Jim McClendon of Springville passed the House 92-4 Thursday. It now goes to the Senate for debate.
McClendon, a retired optometrist, said he believes text messaging is a major distraction. He said banning the practice while driving would save lives.
Seven states and the District of Columbia currently ban sending text messages while driving. At least nine other states ban text messaging for some teenage or novice drivers.
Rep. Spencer Collier of Bayou La Batre voted against the bill. Collier, a former state trooper, said he believes it would be hard for law enforcement officers to enforce the ban.

With one good hand, Braddock was forced to labor on the docks of Hoboken. Only his manager, Joe Gould, still believed in him, finding fights for Braddock to help feed his wife and children. The diminutive, loquacious Jew and the burly, quiet Irishman made one of boxing's oddest couples, but together they staged the greatest comeback in fighting history. In 12 months Braddock went from the relief rolls to face heavyweight champion Max Baer, the Livermore Butcher Boy, renowned for having allegedly killed two men in the ring.
A charismatic, natural talent and in every way Braddock's foil, Baer was a towering opponent, a Jew from the West Coast who was famously brash and made great copy both in and out of the ring. A 10-to-1 underdog, Braddock carried the hopes and dreams of the working class on his shoulders. And when boxing was the biggest sport in the world, when the heavyweight champion was the biggest star in the world, his unlikely upset made Braddock the most popular champion boxing had ever seen.
Against the gritty backdrop of the Depression, Cinderella Man brings this dramatic all-American story to life, evoking a time when the sport of boxing resonated with a country trying desperately to get back on its feet. Schaap paints a vivid picture of the fight world in its golden age, populated by men of every class and ethnic background and covered voluminously by writers who elevated sports writing to art. Rich in anecdote and color, steeped in history, and full of human interest, Cinderella Man is a classic David and Goliath tale that transcends the sport.

Great book, I'm a boxing fan so the boxing history was interesting, filled with names I already knew but now I have a more detailed story behind the names. I think a non boxing fan would still enjoy the story. If you are a fan this is a must listen, I'm sure the movie will focus less on boxing history. The narrator did a good job, his tone and cadence are a perfect match for the subject and time period. I got the unabridged and wish it was even longer. One of the better books I have heard.
Almost everyone knows the story of the girl who had a rough life and eventually rose to the top with the help of her fairy godmother and lived happily ever after. However, this story is much more than that. It is about an underdog pugilist that endured everything life threw at him and rose to the top with only the belief he had in himself and the desire to provide for his family during the Great Depression. It is a story that will touch your heart and prove to anyone that all one needs to succeed in life is perseverance, desire, and the love and support of family and friends. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Boxing fans and nonfans alike.
"Cinderella Man is right"
Great book, probably could have downloaded the abridged and left some of the fighter boxing history out of the book, but absolutely the kind of story you wish you would here more in todays society. Great story about determination and human kindness. Want to see the movie now.
"A great book for everyone"
Even though this book is about boxing, it is really about people and their struggles in life. It shows how a person can deal with adversity and rise above it.
The book also does a good job covering the depression and the effects on all people.
I can not wait for the motion picture to come out to see if it comes close to being as good as the book.
A real classy book.
"Cinderella Man (Unabridged)"
I'm not a boxing enthusiast, but I was, once in my youth, a competitive athlete. I usually listen to my audiobooks only on my bike ride into work. I stayed up two nights in a row, laying in bed listening until I fell asleep. I just had to keep listening even though I knew the outcome from the start.
Addicted to Audible since 2009
"Outstanding listen"
For those who love boxing and sports or for anyone who loves a good rags to riches story, this book is a must read! One of my favorite listens here at Audible, yet...
"Cindirella man"
As an avid boxing fan, I really enjoyed listening to old stories. The book was quite factual but I liked it, as well as both main characters Max Bear and Jim Braddock, who was greatly portrayed in the movie by Russel Crowe.
"I'm on my third listen"
I love this book and the narration. I've had this audio for several years now and I'm on my third listen. I'm inspired each time and each time I hear something new.
"You Gotta Have Heart"
This page turner of a biography relates the story of boxer James Braddock's struggle to support his family and his winning of the heavyweight title. This is no "Rocky" because it is true and the sweat and blood spent during his fight days leap off the page. This a story of courage, love of family, and sheer luck which anyone would at least appreciate.
Schapp's book does for fighters and the fight game what Hillenbrand's Seabicuit did for horses and racing. It is well written and expertly read. Male or female, fight fan or no, will find something to admire in Braddock and better grasp why "they do it." Strenuous, exhausting in places, and often painful, this is not an inspirational book, but a biography that is inspirational.
"Pretty good for what it is"
This book is a documentary and reads as such, which is to say that it doesn't read like a novel. It's not a "page-turner," but it is an interesting portrayal of a tenacious boxer during the depression.
"A Knockout1"
I knew the story of Jim Braddock from my childhood (my grandfather told me all about him) and some years ago really enjoyed the excellent film, so have been meaning to listen to this audio-book for ages now. I thought it would be good but it was so much better than I imagined. A great story that is well read. Not only the story of Jim Braddock but also the Charismatic Max Baer too.
"Its the Heavyweights!"
I enjoyed this book, not necessarily because of the main story but the surrounding stories that link into James Braddock's life. Max Baer, Jack Dempsey, Primo Carnera, Joe Louis are all present here and we hear lots of snippets and back stories which ensure that the overall presentation of the Cinderella Man is enjoyable. I love this period in time and the stories and characters that have presented themselves so I'm a little biased, but of you like boxing and this time period, then this is a must listen.

That sounds more like your car rental company didn't do their job and walk you around the Explorer showing you how to use its features. Allow me.
Installing the car seats is a breaze. Simply run the hook under the LATCH system and clip from underneath instead of from the top. While it can be a pain to have to remove a car seat so you can flip fold one of the 60/40 cushions forward allowing easy access to the third row seats, ford built the Explorer with passenger safety ever in mind and the outboard seating positions are considered the safest. Besides, there's a third LATCH system in the third row so there was no need for your tall son to crawl in through the lift gate regardless of whether he was sitting in the second or third row.
In the spirit of safety, a seat secured to the vehicle is safer than one mounted to rails. Tighter turning radius can be nice, but most of us can stand to walk a few extra steps from the parking lot.
MyFord Touch isn't complicated, but like all technology takes a little getting used to. A thorough explanation here would have served well too. In fact the only real issue with this system is that it has some glitches that still need to be ironed out. To that let me just say there's a reason most people have iPhones and not not Window Phones (and a reason why I had to google what the Microsoft phone is called...).
The turn signals do take a bit of getting used to, but here again telling you how they work and why they work that way would have given you a different opinion. The Explorer utilizes one touch electronic blinkers. Push the handle up once, allow it to rebound to its position, and your blinker is activated. The reason for this is that it eliminates the old metal canister style relay which sometimes overheated. It's also less expensive.
I'm not going to pretend to know a lot about the CX9. The info I have on it came from resources on Mazda's website. The pictures I see online of the interior make it appear pretty cramped. I really feel for the adult who has to ride in the third row for any distance. The leg room there on the CX9 would put Usain Bolt in leg braces after a trip from Houston to Dallas.
As to the transmission- it's a rental car! How do you think those who rented it before you drove it and what all they used it for that exceeded its limitations, like towing over 5000 pounds. There's a funny Jeff Foxworthy quote about looking to buy a rental car comparing it to a house of ill repute.
next time rent a VAN!
