During the fall semester of the sophomore block sequence, students closely follow local campaigns. Through research, class discussions, and on-the-ground experience as campaign volunteers, students get an in-depth and intimate exposure to campaign politics. The semester is a crucial aspect of the PPP experience; the challenging experience provides students with many useful tools for not only a political career but publicly engaged life in general.
At the end of the semester, each team of students must create their own campaign plan for their candidate- how they would have run the campaign if they were the campaign manager. They present this plan to PPP faculty, fellow students, and upperclassmen. Then on Election Day, students work for their campaigns during the day and give media interviews at the Hamilton County Board of Elections as night as the election results come in.
Students have worked on campaigns at the federal, state, and local level. The candidates they represent are comprised of elected incumbents, appointed incumbents, and non-incumbents from both sides of the aisle.
"Class helped prepare for the media by stressing the professionalism and importance of speech during our presentations."

The Man and the Pan
Well, it's been a mediocre Christmas. It isn't really a big deal here; only two houses in my street put up lights, and one of them was just a single chain along his gutter. The other was a bit more elegant, so don't worry. We're not total heathens on my block.
In the aftermath of Christmas in the horrible shopping spree, my dad and I went to a large homewares store in a major shopping centre to get a new Teflon pan. We drove around and around, but there were so many cars waiting eventually I turned off the engine, pulled out the keys and my dad went in to buy the pan himself. I was starting to doze off when a car near me vacated his space, and around half a minute later a man drives into it. As he got out of his car, he gave me a cocky smirk, and I couldn't help but laugh. Situations like this tickle my God complex a little, where you feel you have a deeper understanding of a scene than others, and are more in touch with the nature of the universe. I couldn't help but indulge. Hah.
Several weeks ago I bought a small USB microscope from DealExtreme; I frequently shop there for cheap, dodgy stuff. Like vernier calipers with one end of the caliper chipped off; nice one there. The microscope was a pleasant surprise; it worked out of the box with a basic OpenCV camera driver I had knocked together during when I was being assessed for the internship. I had bought it with the intention of checking knife edges; with adjustable focus and built-in, dimmable LEDs, it's quite good for up-close stuff.
I'm into knives quite a great deal. I enjoy the way they fit in my hand, the sharp crisp snap when you open it, and the effortless way a properly cared for knife will handle things you use it for. I've always enjoyed slowly sharpening a knife freehand, I find it helps me relax quite a great deal and it clears my head. The microscope reveals burrs and tiny flat spots on the blade, which I can then polish out further with fine grit-papers.
Another reason I had bought it was to compare what a good factory edge (from a decent company, like Benchmade or Spyderco) looks like compared to something I had done freehand. It will help me improve, I hope, although I'm rather happy with my level of skill so far from what I've seen on the scope. I keep a mini Griptilian as a reference knife for comparisons; I think the handle design, blade shape and lock mechanism work together brilliantly and individually too. Although not exactly costly, I find it simply too…good to use (although I'm sure it can withstand anything I throw at it) and instead I use a Spyderco for normal tasks as I'm not afraid to get it wet or grimy, due to the Griptilian's relatively exposed (and more elaborate) mechanism.
In other news, Georgie and I went to see Bob Evans recently. If you're reading this you've probably read her blog covering it in much better detail, but I must admit it was fun. What she didn't tell you was that I was reluctant to go until around two days before, but really. I had a great time and I'm glad I went; it was my sort of ideal event setting (I even shook his hand! haha).
I also got a half-year internship at a robotics development lab in my university, where I will be working on vision software for an automated healthcare robot. The software packages are still a bit new to me and I'm a tad rough around the edges, but we're getting a feel of each other, hoho.
If you made it this far, I wish you a happy New Year. I just hope it's not the last one, eh. To be honest the blog title has some relevance to the carpark thing earlier, but it mainly came from my dad, who had to write a poem in primary school and he started it off with 'a man in a pan…'

This is the third edition of our new feature: Blogger's Take. This week, at about the halfway point through quarterly reporting, we have a go at Earnings, Revenue and Guidance.
Good upside surprises, weak upside guidance: According to Birinyi Associates, the current quarter has so far matched last quarter with the second highest "beat rate" since the bull market began – so far, 72% of S&P 500 companies have beaten estimates. On the opposite side, only ten percent have missed estimates, which is the lowest quarterly figure of the bull market. Upside guidance this earnings season has not been as positive. Just six percent of companies have guided higher, which is the lowest level seen since the first quarter of 2003.
And while we have had some enormous success stories, we all have seeen quite a few blow ups. I would characterize this quarter as "Very strong, but with some significant dissappointments."
What does our blogging crew think? Let's have a look:
Are we having a good earnings season, a bad one or something in between? We can all name some of each. I think a bull or a bear could spin this go around to make their argument.
Instead of trying cherry pick certain reports to fit my opinion I think it makes sense to look at how the market is reacting. The market is working higher, maybe grinding higher is a better description but either way I don't think the net result, so far, after factoring in the good, the bad and the ugly is an obstacle for the market. Quite the opposite actually, blowups notwithstanding, as the market has defied the skeptics, me included.
My net conclusion is that I still think the market will correct and when/if it does earnings will play no part in a turning point. There are many obstacles, indicators and supposed truisms that say the market "has" to correct and I think it will be these things, things Barry for one has written about, that carry more weight than earnings.
Roger Nusbaum, Random Roger
I'm siding with the Bears on this one. The Bulls are pointing to a few pockets of great earnings as evidence of a larger trend that doesn't exist. Google's earnings are about as good an indicator of the state of the economy as Peyton Manning's completion percentage is to who wins the World Series. Pockets of good and bad always exist, regardless of overall economic trends, but pundits tend to see what they want to see in the news. I expect many more earnings disappointments over the next year.
-Rob May, Business Pundit
Even though third-quarter earnings season has been welcomed by Dow 12,000, some interesting trends have emerged thus far.
While we are less than two weeks into earnings season (Alcoa's report on 10/10 marked the start), 125 S&P 500 companies have reported. Using quarterly comparisons, the current quarter has so far matched last quarter with the second highest beat rate since the bull market began — 72% of S&P 500 companies have beaten estimates. On the opposite side, just ten percent have missed estimates, which is the lowest quarterly figure of the bull market.
Upside guidance this earnings season has not been as positive. Just six percent of companies have guided higher, which is the lowest level seen since the first quarter of 2003.
Analyzing the one-day price impact from earnings reports, companies that have beaten estimates have gone up an average of just 26 bps while companies that have missed have averaged a loss of 5.4%. We realize that as earnings season continues, the averages should become more inline with prior quarters, but the current figures show that misses are being punished while beats are not being rewarded.
On a sector basis, energy, tech and health care have had the highest beat rates while consumer staples, industrials and materials are missing estimates the most.
Justin Walters, Ticker Sense
From 1960 to the present, the S&P 500 Index stocks have paid out an average of 50% of their earnings as dividends. The low point for this proportion was 2000-2001, when dividends dropped to 29% of earnings. The present time period is the second lowest since 1960, as we now stand at 33%. The drop in the market from 2000 to 2002 corresponded to a period in which dividends went from 29% up to almost 65% of earnings. In other words, the dividend:earnings ratio reverted to its long-term mean by earnings taking more of a tumble than dividends. Indeed, dividends remained relatively stable from 2000-2002; it was earnings that took the hit.
While we don't know the exact timing of any future reversion to this historical mean, we do know it can only happen in one of two ways: by dividends rising much faster than earnings or by earnings falling much faster than dividends. S&P earnings have risen sharply since 2003, from $27.59 to the current $74.49. During this period, dividends have not kept pace with the earnings rise: we've actually seen a decline in the dividend:earnings ratio. If companies aren't going to increase the proportion of earnings they pay out as dividends when times are this good, it's hard to know what will make them raise the allocation.
Which leaves us only falling earnings to return us to historical norms.

yeah yeah yeah. when all the data that wasn't being dissected by the mainstream media showed up on contrarian blogs like this one including this piece, if you acted and pulled all your positions you watched as the DOW hit 9k, then 10k, then 11k, now 12k. you missed out big time. i don't question the numbers, i always question the timing. the market is dominantly about psychology. reality and logic take a back seat.
As with all cyclical things, earnings are not likely to sustain their lofty levels. And the dividend ratio seems like a good touchstone to remind us of how high the earnings are (relative to historical norms).
However, using the dividend ratio as a normative trend line could be a mirage.
In each of the past three years, corporations have returned a record amount of cash to shareholders. Not in the form of dividends, but as share buybacks.
Simply looking at dividend payout ratios, today versus previous periods ignores the simple fact that stock buybacks have become extremely prominent as a way to return capital to shareholders over the last 10 years. The rise of stock options (and the need to offset their dilution) is a huge reason, and not something that was an issue in the 1960′s or 1970′s. What happens to the payout ratio if both dividends AND share repurchases are accounted for? I bet we would be a lot closer to 50%.
Here is the economic news I heard today:
- GM's earnings were being spun as positive, but were in fact very poor.
- The price of crude oil went up several percent to almost $62 per barrel.
- Daimler-Chysler is in big trouble — especially the Chrysler part.
- Housing is in free fall.
So I'd say the economy is not all that good right now, in spite of the general tenor of the press.
And with the unprecedented and unmitigated corruption and incompetence in our federal government, the direction is clear…
Dividends plus buybacks yield. If you want to know the raw data, click through to S&P's PDF (PDF, natch). In 06Q2, buybacks were twice dividends. I like that traderfeed guy otherwise, but on dividends he is missing 2/3 of the story.
Don't guess the data; know them.
FD: not bullish, but realistic and despite buying puts today and probably tomorrow going into GDP, net long.
Detroit Dan, your response could've been written 5 years ago or today. makes no difference. there's always news to spin in the direction you want. the key to making money is float with the tide until it turns against you then run for cover before the sheeple catch on. it's pretty simple to stay ahead of them.
you know what.. people have gotten so used to getting screwed the last six years they think it's normal… the market could go down 20% tomorrow and most people would barely notice, or care.
heh heh
sheeple . . . I love that word

When a story first broke that a man with the motive of harming the family of musician Joseph Mayanja, popularly known as Jose Chameleone, had been nabbed and had burnt himself, Ugandans sympathised with the artiste.
But testimonies from neighbours and eye witnesses now leave many asking questions. Did 27-year-old Robert Karamagi really burn himself, or was he set on fire? Charles Etukuri weighs the evidence so far.
On December 26 last year, 27-year-old Robert Karamagi entered the home of Joseph Mayanja, popularly known as Jose Chameleone, in Seguku, in the wee hours of the morning. Shortly after, the Police was called in and told that an intruder had set himself on fire.
A day later, he succumbed to injuries he had sustained and died at Mulago Hospital. Conflicting reports have emerged from the musician, the deceased's family and eye witnesses, as each tries to explain what exactly happened.
Was Karamagi an intruder as alleged by the Mayanja family or was he known to them? If he was known to them, why did they rush to deny him? Did he douse himself or was he doused by the musician and part of his Leone Island crew? Why has the Mayanja family refused to hand over the Close Circuit Camera (CCTV) footage to the Police, yet they claim they had the recordings of what transpired? Why did the Police rush to declare Karamagi an intruder, yet they had information to the contrary? Why did they fail to take a statement from him? Will Karamagi's family get justice?
Piecing up the mystery
According to initial reports, Karamagi, 27, went to Chameleone's house in the wee hours of Boxing Day. A statement issued by Leone Island reads in part:
"The intruder took advantage of the fact that the Police guards Chameleone's home between 6:00pm and 7:00am. He jumped over a gate that had no guard and managed to make his way to the living room."
Sunday Vision has, however, learnt that the gate was open at the time Karamagi entered the home. Leon Island claims that the musician was asleep at the time, having come back at 4:00am from his Christmas performances. Eye witnesses, however, say the musician was present when Karamagi was being burnt.
The storied building is occupied by six people, including Chameleone, his wife Daniella Atim, their three children and a
After entering into the home, Karamagi then proceeded to the living room and started collecting the musician's valuables, which included a laptop, phones and wallet. He then proceeded to forcefully open the drawers. The noise woke Atim, who came downstairs to see what was happening. As she approached the living room, she came face-to-face with the intruder
and demanded to know who he was and what he was doing in the house.
After he failed to explain himself, she made an alarm, waking her husband and Leone Island crew members, who were in the boys' quarters of the same building.
Fearing that he had been cornered, Karamagi ran out of the house and purportedly returned with a five-litre jerrycan containing a flammable liquid and a lighter. He then stood at the main door of the house and threatened to burn them down if they moved near him.
He started shaking the jerrycan in an attempt to spill the contents on Atim and the houseboy. In the process, some of it spilt on him and it was then that he set himself alight.
In her earlier statement, however, Atim told the Police that she had called Chameleone, who was sleeping in their bedroom for help when she found Karamagi in their living room.
Karamagi not a stranger
But even as Chameleone and his family deny ever dealing or meeting Karamagi, Sunday Vision has learnt that the deceased was a regular visitor to the family.
On several occasions, whenever he was not selling second hand clothes, he would be at the musician's home doing errands for the family.
The area LC1 Chairperson of Seguku Zone 5, Godfrey Kitongolo, confirms that the deceased was known to the musician.
"He is the one who even dug the foundation of the house Chameleone is living in," says Kitongolo.
Three weeks before his death, Karamagi had reportedly mowed and cleaned the musician's compound, but the family had refused to pay him for his services.
Karamagi wanted the money for Christmas and despite attempts to get the musician to pay him, his pleas fell on deaf ears. Sources also say he had been supplying part of the musician's crew with a certain substance meant to keep them high. A member of the crew who spoke to Sunday Vision says they knew Karamagi well.
According to this member, tired of the way he was being taken for granted, Karamagi threatened to do harm to the family if he was not paid by December 23.
Chameleone's family insists that all that happened was captured by the CCTV cameras that are installed at the residence. But when the Police asked the family to hand over the footage, they claimed the system did not store recordings, but could only relay happening events in real time.
The deceased's father, Maj. Benedict Kyamanywa, says his son had mental problems as a result of continuous drug abuse and the whole village knew about it. "We had taken him to Butabika Hospital for treatment and he had stabilised," says Kyamanya.
It is believed that on the day he was allegedly burnt, he had come to demand his money, but in the process disagreed with
the occupants he found in the compound.
"Shortly after we saw him enter through the gate, we heard a scuffle, then somebody wailing and calling out for help," says a neighbour. Moments later, the Police arrived and picked the badly burnt Karamagi.
According to Kyamanywa, his son called him when he was admitted at Mulago Hospital and told him that the musician had ordered his bodyguards to seize him, pour an inflammable substance on him and burn him.
"He never told me what they had disagreed about," Kyamanywa says. The father says his son told him that Chameleone himself tied him with ropes as his guards pinned him down.
"He told me that it was only when his condition worsened that his wife called the Police to come and take him away," Kyamanya says.
The father's statement has been corroborated by a 13-year-old boy who claims he witnessed the incident. He recorded his statement with the Police. According to the boy, Karamagi was burnt by members of the Leone Island.
Police mishap
The local Police has also been put on the spot over the manner in which they handled the matter. The district Police commander of Kajjansi, Ibrahim Saiga, says Karamagi had been caught stealing and that he had burnt himself using petrol that he had carried.
A neighbour disputes this statement, saying he saw the deceased enter the home that morning and he was not carrying anything like a jerry can.
Asked why he rushed to accept the family's version of events without further investigation, Saiga said: "We received information that there was an intruder in the home, who had burned himself and we acted on the information based
on what the complainant had told us."
Despite efforts by Karamagi to try and explain his case before the Police, they quickly handcuffed him and pushed him under the Police patrol car seats and took him to Kajjansi Police Station, before dumping him at the casualty wing in Mulago Hospital.
The Police say when they came to the home, Karamagi was violent, so they had to handcuff him. "He wanted to grab a gun from the Police. It took the effort of five policemen to control him," says Saiga.
However, neighbours say it was the pain that had been inflicted on him that made him cry out. "He was writhing in pain, crying out that he had been burnt and wanted help, but instead, they continued pushing him under the car," the neighbour says. "What did you expect us to do at the time? This was a suspect and there was no time to ask because we had a complainant who told us his life was at stake," says Saiga.
Something does not add up
A highly placed source privy to the investigation told Sunday Vision that the story being presented by the complainants did not add up.
"There are a lot of contradictions and we highly doubt that the events being presented by both the musician's family and friends paint a picture of what actually transpired at the home. If it was really petrol, then definitely the damage would have
been bigger and we would have seen the whole house or parts of the compound burnt. Besides, a burning man would have run around the compound writhing in pain and as a result, he would have spread the fire as he ran to try and extinguish it," the source said.
When Sunday Vision visited Chameleone's home, we established that the only area that got burnt was a small part that had lowers. The family says despite calls that a proper investigation be done, the Police did not take a statement from
the deceased even when he was still alive.
Chameleone's behaviour
Investigators have not looked into the conduct of Chameleone immediately after the incident. He suddenly left for Juba for a musical show.
On his return, Chameleone, in an exclusive interview, said the event has traumatised him and his family. "I will never forget this event because it has put me in the middle of a rock and hard place. I am being implicated in something which just jumped into my life by a whisker, it is very traumatising," he said.
He said the public was judging him and making baseless conclusions. "People are saying I beat him, burnt him up and so many things, but I am a parent who cannot inflict pain on someone's child; he intruded my house and I acted as a responsible citizen by calling the Police," Chameleone insists.
He says he is sorry that Karamagi lost his life, yet he did his best to save him by alerting the Police.
"I sincerely pass on my condolences to the bereaved family and friends of Karamagi,but I am very interested in the final investigation report by the Police such that the truth comes out. I am not above the law and I am ready for the outcome," says Chameleone.
Saiga, however, says they have fresh leads into the case and have opened up a new file and recorded statements.
"The facts have now changed and we are no longer going by the statements we were first given by the family," Saiga says. Karamagi was buried on December 30 in Fort Portal.

The commissioners of the Mountain West and Pac-12 conferences announced Friday they will collaborate on a plan they hope will lead to better performances by the referees working their men's and women's basketball games.
Craig Thompson of the Mountain West and the Pac-12's Larry Scott took part in a teleconference Friday to explain the project.
"Under this new alliance, we will be better positioned to attract top lead officials, and to achieve the greatest consistency and accountability deserving of our excellent basketball programs," Scott said.
Scott said a change became urgent after the Pac-12 came under scrutiny during its men's conference tournament in March because league officiating coordinator Ed Rush had offered bounties — $5,000 or a trip to Mexico — for any referee who disciplined Arizona coach Sean Miller. Rush has said that he wasn't serious, but he resigned April 4.
"We really took a fresh look at it once Ed resigned," Scott said. "A deeper commitment had been made to training and evaluation, bringing in some new blood and talent to the officiating corps."
Bobby Dibler, the Mountain West coordinator of officials for the past 14 years, has been put in charge of getting the alliance off the ground. Dibler also directed WAC game officials and has worked 11 NCAA Tournaments. The leagues will hire a deputy coordinator and game graders.
By forming the alliance, the evaluations and grading systems of the referees would become more standardized.
Thompson said the ideal situation is to create a work atmosphere in the Mountain West and Pac-12 that would keep game officials working only west of Denver. But Thompson said the agreement would not prohibit game officials from working in other leagues and conferences.
Thompson talked about the advantages of better travel schedules that would help game officials to remain fresh throughout the long basketball season.
The West Coast Conference, Big West Conference and Western Athletic Conference also will be of the leagues' training programs.

WASHINGTON -- Former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist sharply rebuked Republican Gov. Rick Scott and the GOP-led state legislature for enacting "ridiculous" restrictions on voting rights.
Crist and other critics say the restrictions were passed simply to help Republicans.
Speaking Wednesday at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing examining charges of voter suppression nationwide, the former governor blamed Republican leaders, including Scott, for hours-long Election Day lines and voter frustration at polling sites around the state. ...

4. Eldorado Gold (NYSE: EGO ) By hiking the ancient silk road -- from its previous foray into China to a new operational focus upon Turkey and Greece -- Eldorado Gold has amassed a peer-leading growth profile that targets a monumental 158% expansion of annual gold production over the next four years. Growing from a larger base this time around, it's reasonable to expect some meaningful challenges along the way for such an aggressive growth trajectory. However, given the undeniable quality of the underlying asset portfolio, paired with an exceptional outlook for continued organic resource growth like the 1.5 million gold ounces added to the Certej project in Romania during 2012, Eldorado presents some of the more exciting upside potential among the larger mid-tier producers. Provided the company continues to execute well as these growth initiatives gather steam in 2013, I see potential for the stock to surpass $18 per share during 2013 for more than a 40% advance.

Thai Fried Rice.

BURLINGTON, Vt. -- I cook a lot, which is no surprise given what I do for a living and that I have a family of four to feed, plus assorted teenage boys and others who might be hovering around dinner time.
I consider myself a pretty flexible cook, able to survey the contents of my fridge and freezer and pull together a decent meal without too much trouble. However, I am ashamed to admit that I also waste a fair bit of food. I hate to throw anything out, so I'll tuck a few morsels of leftover fish or meat, a container of rice or pasta, the green ends of the scallions into the fridge or freezer promising myself ...

Relay for Life: It's not a race
By: Lien Hoang, The Press Tribune
Planners to debunk fiction around the cancer event
The name notwithstanding, Relay for Life is not a race, unlike so many 5Ks and other disease-related fundraising efforts. That's one of the many misconceptions to be cleared up at an upcoming rally thrown by Relay for Life Roseville. Organizers hope the rally – 7 p.m. Jan. 11 at Woodcreek High School Theatre – will clarify and boost participation for the relay itself, to be held April 16. "We really want people to come to the rally having no clue what the relay is, because they're going to leave knowing what it is," said Diane Kidwell, who is in charge of team development for Relay for Life Roseville. A few years ago she convinced friend Natalie Mixon to join and eventually become the event chair. "We had rallies in the past, and they were kind of hard to understand," Mixon said. "Until someone experiences a relay it's hard to explain it to them." What organizers want the public to know is that Relay is the American Cancer Society's top fundraiser. Hundreds of cities around the world have adopted their own Relays. During the event itself, teams of up to 24 people set up camp on a designated site. For Roseville this year, that'll be Woodcreek. They take turns walking laps around a track for 24 hours because "cancer doesn't sleep," Mixon said, quoting an organization mantra. The arrangement also takes participants out of their comfort zones, further from the everyday conveniences cancer patients can no longer take for granted. Some teams raise money without showing up to the relay. Others dress up in group themes, such as athletic teams or Hawaiian. Food and jump houses round out the day. "I don't want to say it's like a carnival atmosphere, but it's very fun, very lively," Mixon said. "You really have to experience it." To convey that experience to newcomers, rally planners will present slideshows and videos of the camp, as well as give out Relay shirts, mugs, keychains and other prizes. With a discounted registration price of $11 – rather than $50-$100 – they hope to attract 100 teams, compared with 52 in 2010. The teams often represent local organizations. Most of the money raised toward a $120,000 goal in Roseville will benefit local cancer patients. A top recipient is the Road to Recovery, which provides patients transportation to and from treatment. Many cities in the Sacramento region have their own Relays. Rather than combine efforts, Mixon said the separate subsidiaries keep work manageable and give volunteers a stake in their respective communities. Erica Bakeman oversees five such cities, including Roseville, as their staff partner at the American Cancer Society. "Roseville is an exciting community to work with because they have a lot of energy," Bakeman said. From garage sales to car washes, Relay for Life Roseville conducts a number of benefits throughout the year, but the relay is by far the largest. Mixon, whose mother died of breast cancer, said everyone involved has known a life claimed by cancer. "It's a personal problem, and it's a community problem," she said. Lien Hoang can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. ---------- Relay for Life rally WHAT: Informational hour to explain Relay with video and prizes WHEN: 7 p.m. Jan. 11 WHERE: Woodcreek High School Theatre, 2551 Woodcreek Oaks Blvd. INFO: Relayforlife.org/rosevilleca, or firstname.lastname@example.com

Cardinal Brady's Firsthand Wisdom for Mideast Talks
Irish Prelate Says Respectful Dialogue Is Key to Peace
| 2219 hits
By Mary Shovlain
ROME, NOV. 27, 2007 (Zenit.org).- Cardinal Sean Brady said that respectful dialogue between Israeli and Palestinian leaders meeting today in Annapolis, Maryland, could lead to something bigger in the Mideast peace process.
Cardinal Brady, archbishop of Armagh, in Northern Ireland, spoke with ZENIT about achieving peace in areas plagued by decades of violence. "The way to peace is through dialogue," he said, noting his own experience. "Sometimes it's difficult to establish that dialogue, but it must not be just any old dialogue, it must be respectful dialogue: people who listen to each other with respect, and in that way, try to build trust.
"Dialogue, building trust, are small steps that eventually lead to bigger steps."
The cardinal affirmed such a dialogue was key for the peace process in his country. He said it was "the way pioneered by Senator George Mitchell, who set the scene for us in Northern Ireland."
Stepping forward
The first result from the Annapolis meeting today was a joint statement read by U.S. President George Bush, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. In the statement, the Mideast leaders pledged to resume stalled peace talks aimed at establishing a resolution by the end of next year.
The U.S. bishops declared last Sunday a day of prayer for the success of the meeting, an appeal that Benedict XVI seconded in his address before Sunday's midday Angelus. The Holy Father asked people to "implore the Spirit of God for peace for that region so dear to us and to give wisdom and courage to all the protagonists in this important meeting."
Cardinal Brady said he was "delighted" to hear the Pontiff's request for prayers. "I would urge people everywhere to continue to pray with the Holy Father," he said.
The 68-year-old prelate added: "I mean, one of the first people I met at the consistory was the patriarch of Baghdad, the Chaldean Cardinal Delly, who was telling me about the terrible situation there. I know it from firsthand myself, in the sense that Father Ragheed Ganni was shot there in June and he studied at this college [the Pontifical Irish College].
"So, these situations are tragic; they are terrible, but we mustn't give up. God's plans are plans of peace for everybody. And it's up to us leaders to keep reminding everybody to pray for the peacemakers so they may not lose heart, no matter what the setbacks."

Swim time!
We stayed at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Ontario and one of the reasons we were excited to stay at this hotel(besides their nice bathroom!) was that they had a heated pool and a hot tub. Or supposedly, until Ana just jumped in the pool without any fear, only to start crying and freaking out in the water because of how cold it was. So Jay jumped in to get her and I could tell just by his face that the water was COLD. Well, that was enough proof for me so I just dipped my feet in the hot tub(which was not heated bytheway, but slightly warmer than the pool-turns out their heating system was broken), while I watched them swim.
13 weeks- I'm now in my second trimster!

Adi: "one, two, three! hahaha, tricked you!"

New Roboplast's Website
When we talk about Roboplast, it is necessary to start by its costumers, sure enough the company's first aim is to please them in their requirements of handling and exposure of the products.
Always looking after the customer by identifying with the companies it works with, Roboplast transforms every year 5.500 tons of plastic, setting up a large amount of products different in kind and proportion in Italy, Europe and all around the world.
17.000 indoor square metres, 13 lines of production and 50 employees may seem the numbers of a medium company, but considering the minimum weight of the plastic product and the maximum weight of the acquired customers, you will easily change your mind.
Roboplast is a leader company, born from the entrepreneurial passion of the Oderda Family and grew up vertically, from 1976 to today, thanks to its capacity of interpreting, anticipating and meeting the customers' requirements.
Plastic is not an exact science, as the mathematics is; chemical formulas don't give space to interpretation, the manufacturing processes do. That is why Roboplast can meet the customers' requirements with features and colours specially developed to meet every single requirement during the utilization stroke.
For those reasons your production arrives to the finished product without any problem, for those reasons every single cent spent for raw materials produced by Roboplast turns into added value for your customers, as for fidelity and the repeat of orders and new job opportunities.

- Freshen up the Bathroom- Once the bathroom has had its usual cleaning, set out guest hand towels and a new bottle of hand soap.
- A Warm Glow- Light some candles but be sure to keep an eye on them if they are in places such as a bathroom or hallway.
- Entryway Impression– Sweep your steps and front porch area to eliminate leaves, cobwebs, and dirt. Shake out your doormat and remove any clutter. Replace any outside lights that burnt-out. Keep in mind, your entryway is really your home's first impression.

|Species: Pacific Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus)
7-21-12: A male walrus calf has been observed alone for over two days in North Salt Lagoon in Barrow, AK. The calf is presumed to have been separated from a large group of walrus that were sighted passing Barrow on floating ice on July 17. With approval from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), staff of the North Slope Borough's Department of Wildlife Management facilitated the rescue.
7-22-12: Two Alaska SeaLife Center staff traveled to Barrow early this morning to evaluate the animal, already under the watchful eye of a local veterinarian. Air transportation from Barrow to Anchorage for the 200-pound animal was provided by Northern Air Cargo (NAC). In Anchorage, NAC also assisted in transferring the walrus to a specially-equipped truck for the 125 mile trip to Seward.
7-23-12: Upon admit, the walrus calf was moderately dehydrated and was found to have lice. The lice have been treated and should be cleared up within a few days. He is estimated to be 4-6 weeks old - far too young to be without his mother. In the wild, walrus will stay with their mothers for up to two years or more.
7-24-12: The calf is beginning to get the hang of suckling on a bottle. He is being fed about 1.5 liters of formula every three hours, around the clock.
7-26-12: Walrus are very tactile and social animals. Dedicated staff and caretakers are providing the social interaction that he would otherwise be seeking from other walrus. Walrus calves almost immediately habituate to human care and therefore are not candidates for release following rehabilitation.
7-28-12: The calf is spending some time playing in his new kiddie pool today! As he begins to improve, he becomes more and more curious.
7-31-12: The walrus calf is suckling great, and he is gaining weight at a good rate.
8-5-12: The calf is stable and continues to interact well with his caretakers.
8-9-12: The calf has a new room to eat, sleep and play in! He appears to be enjoying it quite a bit. He can currently be seen at the Alaska SeaLife Center's new I.Sea.U critical care unit.
8-15-12: The calf has been doing great in the I.Sea.U. One of his favorite things to do is play with the spray from a hose, or in his pool.
8-21-12: Walrus 1 has continued to do well in his new accommodations. He eats well, is gaining weight steadily and is becoming increasingly more playful.
8-26-12: The walrus calf has a new roommate! Walrus calf 2 has joined him in the I.Sea.U. 1 is interested in spending some time with his new friend, but 2 doesn't seem quite up to it yet.
9-1-12: Both walrus calves now have names! Pakak - meaning "One that gets into everything" in Inupiaq - was chosen for this calf. Caretakers report his name is fitting.
9-10-12: Pakak and Mitik's interactions increase every day. They can now be frequently seen cuddling during naps.
9-14-12: Pakak has been playing hard today! He enjoys spending time in the pool playing with toys or the hose.
9-22-12: Pakak is learning his boundaries. Despite their size difference, he and Mitik have been getting along very well.
9-26-12: Today both walruses had a full veterinary exam, which required sedation due to their size and strength. They both did well, although Pakak is still groggy tonight.
9-27-12: Pakak and Mitik were moved to a new location which will better suit their needs. They now have a pool which they can frequently swim in while supervised.
10-2-12: Pakak hasn't been feeling well for the past few days. His digestive system has been off, and he hasn't been eating well. Today, however, he seems to be feeling much better, as he's eating well again and is acting more like himself.
10-5-12: His caretakers are happy to report that Pakak is acting like his old self again. This also means he's once again causing as much trouble as he can.
10-9-10: The boys are going to their new homes tomorrow! Pakak will be moving to Indianapolis Zoo, where he will be integrated into their walrus program over time.

The Federal Trade Commission said Wednesday that credit reporting firm Equifax will pay $393,000 to resolve allegations it and Direct Lending Source violated the FTC Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act by selling lists of consumers who were late on their mortgage payments.
The FTC said the lists were sold to Direct Lending Source and its affiliates, which then sold the data to companies that marketed loan modification and debt relief services to the people on the lists.
Direct Lending Source agreed to pay $1.2 million to resolve the allegations, the FTC said.
The agency said Equifax sold more than 17,000 lists of consumers between January 2008 and early 2010 that included millions of names.
Equifax said it is not admitting any wrongdoing.

AT&T prepping major network boost for 2009 iPhone?
updated 06:00 pm EDT, Fri April 3, 2009
ATT 3G Upgrade for iPhone
AT&T is ramping up its network upgrades a third year in a row to accommodate the heavy data use for its 2009 iPhone launch, according to a vendor contact at AppleInsider at least partly supported by Electronista's own check at the CTIA expo. The US carrier has recently snapped up a large number of cellular network routers from Juniper Networks and has been working quickly to get a network upgrade in place for the end of May. Engineers have reportedly been told that the update is necessary due to a predicted tenfold spike in the amount of traffic on the network following a 2009 iPhone update and a sudden influx of video streaming.
A small part of AT&T's network is believed to have already been upgraded and providing the fastest mobile website loads that Apple has ever seen. Whether this is using prototypes of new iPhones or just existing models isn't clear.
When speaking to Juniper on the show floor, Electronista heard about a large quantity having been ordered "recently" and that the specific aim was to help AT&T's backhaul infrastructure cope with heavy demand from iPhone users now and in the future. No specific timetable was given for upgrades, however, as the spokesman wasn't privy to AT&T's plans.
Apple has increasingly dropped clues that video functions may play a significant part of this year's iPhone refresh, such as possible video capture. Additionally, the company is still believed to be planning an on-demand video streaming service known as iTunes Replay that would let customers stream any video they've already purchased on the iTunes Store. While most have assumed the feature would be limited to the Apple TV or to computers, such an on-demand feature would help iPhone users by saving them the trouble of storing videos on their limited device storage and would be more technically feasible with a faster network.
While it has never formally acknowledged steps to improve its network this year specifically for iPhones, AT&T has repeatedly indicated that network speed-ups and other improvements are a major priority this year. The company has already been testing 7.2Mbps HSPA and plans to launch the update this year, roughly doubling the peak speeds in areas with 3G coverage. Chief marketing David Christopher also recently told Electronista in an one-on-one interview that the company is launching major investments for its 3G network that are there partly to alleviate bottlenecks created by the iPhone.

A producer for Lil Wayne's hit "Lollipop" is suing for the stacks he feels he is owed from the track's sales.
TMZ.com reports that Darius Harrison has filed a $20 million suit against Cash Money Records, claiming that the label never paid him his share of the proceeds from sales of the smash hit. He's also seeking a cut of the sales from Tha Carter III, the album on which "Lollipop" was featured, which sold 6 million copies.
Darius claims he also put in work producing "Whip It," "Prostitute 2," "Action," "Mrs. Officer," and "Let the Beat Build." Because of that, the produce argues that he is owed his fair share of royalties from album sales, reportedly totaling $70 million.
To his credit, Darius is listed in the liner notes for "Lollipop" as a co-producer along with Jim Jonsin. He's listed as a sound engineer on all the other tracks he claims to have to worked on.
Weezy's camp hasn't commented on the suit just yet. The rapper has, however, put out a new track with Rick Ross! "If I Die Today," is one of the tracks featured on Weezy's upcoming album Tha Carter IV.
But the track Wayne's most confident about is a song called "Wayne's World," which he thinks will scare other lyricists into reconsidering their career paths.
"There's a lot of rapping on this," Weezy told Rolling Stone of the track. "I want other rappers to hear it and say, 'I quit. I better start making club songs.'"

CINCINNATI (AP) - Jay Bruce homered and doubled twice as the Cincinnati Reds delighted a sellout crowd by moving five games over .500 for the first time this season, battering the Milwaukee Brewers 13-7 on Saturday.
Six different Reds players drove in two runs each, including starting pitcher Mat Latos (4-0).
The bottom five hitters in Cincinnati's lineup were a combined 8 for 9 in the first three innings alone, scoring 10 runs and driving in six against Hiram Burgos (1-1). The rookie allowed 12 runs on 11 hits and three walks in those three innings.
A promotion featuring Aroldis Chapman bobbleheads drew a crowd of 41,678. The Reds never needed their closer after romping early.

What You Need to Know:
Adam & Eve's 40th Anniversary collects scenes from 1994's The Dinner Party with classic stars such as Asia Carrera , Chloe, Rebecca Lord, and Missy right up to current releases such as the XRCO Best Parody nominated The A-Team: A XXX Parody with superstars such as Bree Olson, Kayden Kross, and Tori Black, and spreads the forty scenes and nearly ten hours of footage over three DVDs that are nicely organized by when they were released. At the start of each scene you're tastefully informed of who's in each scene as well as where the scene originally comes from. With this many scenes there's not much that's left out sexually, but since this is Adam & Eve the action never gets that nasty and there's often a bit of artistic style that's worked into the scenes.
As impressive as this release is, it does have one big drawback and that's the technical aspects. The entire movie is presented in anamorphic widescreen, which really would be a beautiful thing if it was done right, but a large portion of the scenes included in this release weren't shot in this aspect ratio. Older scenes like the opening scene from The Dinner Party look every bit as clear if not more clear than they did when they originally came out on DVD. At the same time, rather than just having the �evil black bars� on the edge of the screen the picture is stretched to take up the entire screen. In many places it isn't that noticeable, but many other times it's extremely noticeable. I'll admit that I'm a little unsure of why this was done in the first place as there's one heck of a lot of time covered in these releases and I'm pretty sure there's enough footage here to fill at least one DVD with standard definition video. If Adam & Eve would have remastered all of their older scenes for this release than I'd definitely be impressed, but that doesn't look like the case here and it would make much sense if they were just going to skew the picture after doing so. The technical aspects also vary quite a bit beyond the aspect ratio. Some of them Look great while others looked much worse for the wear, almost as if they were being viewed through beer goggles (which I wasn't at the time as I was drinking wine through many of the scenes here). The technical aspects definitely hold this release back.
The other thing I'll say about this release is that although this is �a great mix of scenes�, I can't exactly say that this is �a mix of great scenes�. The action rarely drops below the average mark, but it also left me wondering why some of the scenes were chosen instead of others in some of the movies Choosing Stephanie Swift and Mark Davis' scene in Search for the Snow Leopard instead of the all girl scene where Asia Carrera and Ashton Moore take on the Amazon-like tribe with Halli Aston, Leanni Lei, Taylor St. Clair, Jennifer Lee, Blair Segal, Gwen Summers, and more immediately came to mind as well as Ava Rose, Bree Olson, and Mr. Pete's scene in Roller Dollz instead of bringing in Teagan Presley and Erik Everhard's scene in the same movie that would let the very popular Teagan be listed on the cover as well when Bree Olson, Kayden Kross, and Ava Rose already had multiple scenes included. The exclusion of current Adam & Eve contract girl Alexis Ford is also noted in addition to other highly popular stars such as Sasha Grey, Alexis Texas, and Jenna Haze (all of whom were featured in The Five). It's great to see that Jenna Jameson is included in the bonus scenes, but she has two great scenes there that could have easily been included in the main movie while relegating one of Kayden Kross or Bree Olson's scenes to the extras. One would think that Jenna would have earned placement in the main feature with at least one of her scenes.
Adam & Eve's 40th Anniversary Collection is an impressive release that still leaves me with mixed feelings. There's a good mix of scenes, but not a great mix of great scenes, and some of the choices in scenes left me scratching my head a bit (the one on my shoulders). The release was also held back quite a bit by the technical aspects with questionable aspect ratios as well as some poor video quality in general. At the same time, it's it's not hard to find this release for under $25 and you get nearly ten hours of footage in it. Even with mixed feelings, with that kind of bang for your buck I can't help but recommend Adam & Eve's 40th Anniversary Collection.
Extras: Trailers (24 covering most of the movies included in the collection on DVD 3), photo galleries (6:15 on DVD 1, 8:15 DVD 2, 8:05 on DVD 3), commercials, and two bonus scenes (Jenna Jameson, Diva, and Frank Towers from The Dinner Party, and Jenna Jameson and Draghixa from Elements of Desire).
Verdict: Although this release isn't without its faults, including a major aspect ratio problem with some of the video and some poor quality video, I also can't help but recommend this release. There's nearly ten hours of porn here and stores are offering it for about $20 to $25. At that price although I'm not wild about the technical aspects and some of the scenes chosen for the release, I can definitely live with them.
Note to Adam & Eve: You show some nice care in certain areas of your compilations, but the technical aspects have been a consistent area of problems. I hope you pay a little more attention in this area and fix it soon as it should not be this big of a problem with the care you put into the technical aspects of most of your releases.

Kinnelon junior outside hitter Isabella Tighe hits a kill against Jefferson in the second round of the Morris County Tournament. The Colts won 2-0.
- Filed Under
Just like nearly every other volleyball team, Kinnelon mentally prepares for its upcoming match together in the locker room. But the Colts have a somewhat unusual ritual which they jokingly call "hair folding." Junior outside hitter Isabella Tighe is usually at the center of the impromptu beauty salon.
Tighe's multi-braid ponytail has become almost as much of a statement as her topspin serve, though the latter was considerably more effective in Kinnelon's 25-16, 25-18 Morris County Tournament victory over Jefferson on Tuesday afternoon. Setter Sophia Tiajoloff and opposite Kristin ...

Pirelli seems to have given up on using the new Kevlar construction tyre at Silverstone, I too can see that Pirelli wants out of F1 next year and I don't blame them, they played their part to the powers that be with all the consequences being carried solely by them, there out to be a lot of politics and hidden hand/s behind this mess.
Meanwhile, rumours doing the rounds are abundant, Hankook has been in talks with MR F1. MR F1 has lined up Cooper Avon as a backup, Michelin had had talks with FIA, JT prefers them over others.
