U.S. Lifts Embargo on Palestinian Authority
The United States yesterday has lifted its embargo on direct aid to the Palestinian government in an effort to support Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah's struggle against Hamas. Last week Hamas seized control of the Gaza Strip. Abbas responded by dismissing the democratically elected Hamas-led government and formed a new cabinet led by a prime minister who has the backing of Israel and the United States.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice: "Hamas has made its choice. It has sought to attempt to extinguish democratic debate with violence and to impose its extremist agenda on the Palestinian people in Gaza. Now responsible Palestinians are making their choice, and it is the duty of the international community to support those Palestinians who wish to build a better life and a future of peace."
Today Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert will meet with President Bush in Washington to discuss the situation. Olmert has said Israel recognizes Abbas' new government.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert: "I promised the Palestinians that our government would consider the new Palestinian government free of any Hamas people as a genuine partner. We will cooperate with this government. We will defreeze monies that we kept under our control because we didn't want these monies to be taken by Hamas in order to be used for a terrorist action."
Olmert is also expected to urge President Bush to help isolate the Gaza Strip. But humanitarian groups have warned Israel not to cut off Gaza. This is Mazen Al-Aloul, the head of a maternity ward at the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza.
Mazen Al-Aloul: "Separate the politics and humanitarian cases. This is a hospital, and we have something like one million and half citizens that are treated in the hospital, and they need all sorts of medicine. Some have cancer, others have kidney problems, and we rely a lot on electric devices, and cutting the power off will be a disaster for the patients, like cutting their lives off."
Report: Israel Planning Invasion of Gaza
Meanwhile, the Times of London reports Israel's new defense minister, Ehud Barak, is considering an attack on Gaza to crush Hamas. Citing unnamed Israeli military sources, the paper says Israel has drawn up plans to send 20,000 troops into Gaza within weeks if Hamas resumes attacks against Israel.
10,000 U.S. Troops Launch New Offensive in Iraq
In Iraq, about 10,000 U.S. soldiers have launched a major offensive in Baquba targeting alleged al-Qaeda militants. U.S. forces have killed at least 22 people so far.
U.S. Values Iraqi Life at $2,500
Meanwhile, a new government report has raised questions over a U.S. military program to offer financial payments to Iraqis affected by the war. The report found that the military offers a maximum of $2,500 to families of Iraqis civilians killed as a result of U.S. forces. The U.S. offers the same amount of money to Iraqis if their car is destroyed because of U.S. actions.
Iraq Ranked Second Most Unstable Nation in World
A new survey by Foreign Policy magazine has determined Iraq is the second most unstable country in the world, behind Sudan. Afghanistan was ranked eighth in the annual Failed States Index.
Hundreds of Thousands of White House Emails Destroyed
House investigators have learned that the Bush administration has routinely violated federal laws by using private email accounts for official business. At least 88 White House officials have Republican National Committee email accounts, and House investigators say hundreds of thousands of these emails may have been destroyed. President Bush's top adviser, Karl Rove, sent or received 140,000 emails on his RNC account. According to House investigators, the RNC has preserved only 130 emails sent to Rove during Bush's first term and no emails sent by Rove prior to November 2003, including the period in the lead-up to the Iraq War. Congressman Henry Waxman accused the Bush administration of completely disregarding the Presidential Records Act.
Scrutiny Increases over Bush's Use of Signing Statements
A new government study has revealed that federal officials have disobeyed several new laws that President Bush challenged by issuing signing statements. According to The Boston Globe, the report provides the first evidence that the government may have acted on claims by Bush that he can set aside laws under his executive powers. President Bush has used signing statements to challenge more than 1,100 sections of bills — more than all previous presidents combined. Virginia Sloan, of the Constitution Project, condemned the president's use of signing statements. Sloan said: "This report should put to rest any doubts as to the real impact of signing statements. The Constitution does not bestow upon the president the power to simply ignore portions of laws he doesn't like." The congressional study did not cover any of President Bush's most controversial claims such as his assertion that he can set aside a torture ban and new oversight provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act because he is the commander-in-chief.
Court: Gov't Needs Warrant to Search Emails
Civil liberties advocates are hailing a new federal appeals court ruling that determined that the government cannot secretly search emails without a warrant. The appeals court said protecting emails is "as important to Fourth Amendment principles today as protecting telephone conversations has been in past." The government has contended that emails stored with service providers could be seized without warrants.
Vietnamese Agent Orange Victims Argue Case in NYC Court
Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange appeared in a New York courtroom on Monday to argue that U.S. chemical companies should be held accountable for manufacturing the toxin. One of the plaintiffs, Nguyen Van Quy, said he has suffered from cancer, and two of his children had birth defects.
Nguyen Van Quy: "I am here as a living evidence to tell the people in the court that dioxin really has a negative impact on human beings as well as the environment."
U.S. warplanes dumped about 18 million gallons of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. Constantine Kokkoris is one of the attorneys representing the Vietnamese plaintiffs.
Constantine Kokkoris: "It poisoned an entire country. Even though the effect of that poison was latent, it took a long time to manifest in some cases, it's still poisoning nonetheless. It's basically like dropping an atom bomb during a war and then having people affected by radiation for the next 30 years. That's illegal under international law, and we hope that they're going to see that point."
The Vietnamese government says more than three million people have been disabled by Agent Orange. But the United States maintains there is no scientifically proven link between the wartime spraying and the disabilities. Attorney Jonathan Moore disputed the claims of the U.S. government.
Jonathan Moore: "Well, we spent three-and-a-half hours listening to issues about Agent Orange and fully vetted our belief that what these companies did during the war was a violation of international law because they used poison and because it was unnecessary and unjustified under any standard. Hopefully the court will agree with this and let us go forward."
Lebanese Gov't Accused of Torturing Palestinian Detainees
In Lebanon, the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp remains under siege as fighting continues for a fifth week between Lebanese troops and militants from the group Fatah al-Islam. The fighting is Lebanon"s worst internal violence since the civil war ended in 1990. At least 162 people, including 32 civilians, have been killed so far. Meanwhile, human rights organizations have accused the Lebanese government of abusing Palestinian refugees rounded up at the Nahr al-Bared camp.
Caoimhe Butterly, of Voices in the Wilderness: "The patterns that emerged in the gathered testimonies indicate both physical and psychological abuse. In a number of cases, detainees have been told that they would be killed or tortured. Detainees have been told, for example, that their toes would be cut off or that they would be electrocuted. Most detainees have reported being hooded or blindfolded during the beatings, and being handcuffed and forced to kneel in pressured positions for up to a day."
Italian Judge Suspends CIA Rendition Trial
An Italian judge has suspended the trial of 26 CIA agents accused of kidnapping an Islamic cleric from the streets of Milan in 2003. The Italian government has asked the court to throw out the indictments in the politically sensitive case. On Monday the presiding judge suspended the trial until the country's highest court can rule on the case.
Pakistani Lawmakers Decry British Knighthood for Rushdie
Britain's decision to honor the writer Salman Rushdie with a knighthood has sparked controversy in Pakistan and Iran. On Monday Pakistan's National Parliament passed a resolution demanding Britain retract the award. The Pakistani resolution stated that Rushdie is still hated in the Muslim world because of his book The Satanic Verses. In 1989 Iran's Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini sentenced Rushdie to death because of Rushdie's depiction of the Prophet Muhammad. Britain has defended the decision to make Rushdie a knight. A government spokesperson said the knighthood is not intended to be an insult to Islam or the Prophet Muhammad.
ABC Reporter Picked to be New Pentagon Spokesperson
In military news, the Pentagon has hired a new press spokesperson — ABC News correspondent Geoff Morrell. Morrell has covered the White House for ABC News since April 2003.
Cuba's First Lady, Vilma Espin, 77, Dies
The wife of acting Cuban President Raul Castro has died at the age of 77. Vilma Espin was widely viewed as the first lady of Cuba. Espin was a key figure in the Cuban Revolution and founded the Cuban Women's Federation.
Celebrations Mark Juneteenth
And Juneteenth celebrations are being held today across the country. It was on June 19, 1865, when slaves in Galveston, Texas, finally learned that the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 had abolished slavery.
New York Lawmakers to Apologize for Slavery
Meanwhile, lawmakers in the New York State Assembly are considering passing a bill to officially apologize for slavery in New York. If the bill passes, New York would become the first Northern state to offer an apology for its role in the slave trade.

By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
On the night of Oct. 20, 2014, Laquan McDonald, a 17-year-old African-American teenager in Chicago, was walking down the street when two police cruisers sped up to him. Officers jumped out, and at least one of them, Jason Van Dyke, began firing. Laquan fell to the ground, his final, painful moments caught on the dashboard video camera of a third police vehicle that had arrived just seconds before. Laquan spun as he was shot. Two bullets hit him in the back. As the video clearly shows, the bullets were pumped into him, evidenced by clouds of dust exploding off the pavement. This week, on the day the video was released to the public by court order, Officer Van Dyke was charged with first-degree murder — 400 days after he killed Laquan McDonald.

Unexpected color
Most people think of the early houses as being drab and colorless...but we found one with a kitchen door that would knock your eye out. Now that is a RED door! Notice also the width of the boards it is made from. Amazing sized boards. Back in the day when the trees were allowed to grow to a ripe old age before cutting.

My favorite kitchen
I fell in love as soon as I walked through the door of this kitchen. I think I surely lived a previous life in the 1700's. Love the color, the cupboards, wavey glass in the windows and the wonderful cooking fireplace with brick oven. Racks on the ceiling to hang herbs to dry, wide board floors, and old iron cooking utensils. . . all near and dear to my heart.
I took particular note of the iron door to the bake oven. We had a wooden one made for ours when we restored our 1700's house, but I think I need to find a blacksmith to make a door like this one for me.

Dinner in the dining room
The table is set for dinner in the way the early colonists would prepare the table. Cloths might be linen...usually white, and the best china could be brought from England or later..China when trade developed. Notice the minimal silverware ... actually bone handled implements.
The child's chair is squeezed at the corner of the table.
On the floor is a "floor cloth". These were finished canvas pieces which were quite durable. They are treated, hand painted or stencilled and then a sealer to protect them.

Real "stylin" hats!
Guides dress in period costume and are seen wandering throughout the village as well as working in the various shops. They are well versed in their trades as well as the history of the period represented. Some of the hats look like stovepipes to me....the bonnets often cover most of a woman's face. They probably had something there. What with our global warming, perhaps we should return to wearing big brimmed hats in order to protect our skin from the sun's harmfull rays. I should say, however, that I am NOT wearing all those big skirts all summer!!! :-)

AFRICA/ZAMBIA - City of Hope, a school for young people of Makeni
Lusaka (Agenzia Fides) - Makeni is one of the suburbs in the south of Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. Here, in 1995, the Salesian Sisters of Don Bosco built a temporary Open Community School for girls, with the hope that this could join in time public schools already present in the capital of the country. Unfortunately it did not happen and the huts which currently welcome about 800 orphans are still there. As a replacement for this building, already out of date, the sisters have begun work on a new school, the City of Hope, which will replace the classes/huts of the children by giving 1250 young people (400 more than the present) the opportunity to receive good primary and secondary quality education.

On Your Wedding Day
Our goal is to document your day as unobtrusively as possible. We are not there to direct your day or dictate your every move. We're a fly on the wall whenever possible, yet we're known to help in any way you need. And when the time comes, we'll use the same posing and lighting techniques we use with professional models to create the works of art we are known for.

More About Me
I grew up around the darkroom. Well, that's what it was called anyway.
See, my father and brothers were photography buffs and we had an actual darkroom in our house. I'm the youngest of nine kids (yes, 9, and yes, same mom) and by the time I was out of diapers, the "darkroom" was long gone and it was just a storage room. But everybody still called it "the darkroom" and it wasn't until my teenage years that I figured out why.
Fast-forward 20 years or so and I had: graduated high school; moved to Los Angeles for two years to play music; moved back to Atlanta after deciding I didn't like being a starving musician the rest of my life; painted office buildings with my brother; and finally realized people would pay me to fix and manage their computer systems.
Then on a Tuesday evening in the Spring of 1998, I met Maria.
By the third ask (maybe fourth) she agreed to go out with me... and we went to the grocery store.
photo by Manuel Llaneras
We were engaged in December of that same year and we married the following June. (For the record: that photo above... that's the only standing ovation I've ever received. :)) It wasn't until we were married that I owned my first camera — a little Minolta film point & shoot — and it still has a partially used roll of film inside with pictures of who knows what.
But it wasn't until our first son was born that I borrowed my sisters Nikon 995 digital camera and fell in love with photography. My addiction was growing as fast as my kids but in 2005, a precipitous event occurred:
My friend David asked me to shoot his wedding.
Weddings. Really?!
I really had no interest in weddings at the time and repeatedly told him that for at least 6 months. But eventually he prevailed and we made a deal. Looking back on his wedding day, two things surprised me: first, I was surprised at how emotionally and physically taxing it was; and second, I was really surprised by how much I enjoyed shooting my first wedding!
I was drawn in by the joy. I was drawn to the powerful emotion a single image could convey in the viewer. And I was drawn to the event itself. I'm still blown away by the uniqueness of each and every wedding and I still get butterflies every time I pack my gear before your wedding.
I can't wait to see you at your wedding!

Remember that? When all the Republicans were talking about how the teachers were trying to take over? They're TEACHERS!
I might have to quit this job. This is all getting to be far too much for me.
At 9:28 p.m., the Young Republicans came back with more beers, and everyone was happy. We took some and left.
At 9:43 p.m., we saw Assemblyman Todd Spitzer in the lobby. He was, surprisingly, schmoozing.
At 9:48 p.m., Gray conceded graciously. At least he wasn't crying like Darrell "Didn't Get a Pony" Issa. Thank God I wasn't in the Young Republicans' suite for that. Although I probably could have pissed them off with some Issa jokes. Gray talks about the phone call he made "to he [Arnold] and Maria." Jesus, nobody knows how to use the objective case anymore! Oh, look! Another bar!
At 10:05 p.m., we see Supervisor Chris Norby. We don't talk to him or nothin'. We just see him there is all.
It's 10:29 p.m.: on the teevee, Greta Van Susteren asks Tom Arnold (of being Roseanne's ex-husband fame) what advice he would give to the new governor. Tom Arnold says, "The difference between Arnold and I . . . ." God! See what I mean?
At 10:50 p.m., we hide from all the people in a private room, but Assemblyman Ken Maddox (running for state Senate against John Campbell) finds us anyway. Maddox tells me he used to play bass for The Ziggens.
At 10:58 p.m., the band–a good little country outfit; you can tell 'cause they have classy equipment–play Lipps Inc.'s Funkytown. Maddox tells me about a bar fight once at Chain Reaction before it was Chain Reaction. It was okay, though. He just stepped in because he saw a guy getting jumped by a big bunch of hoods.
At 11:17 p.m.: Garden Grove City Councilman Mark Leyes wanders in and tries to look convivial but doesn't quite succeed. He tells us the sad news about Wally George. Maddox makes a really funny joke about getting dogs drunk.
He didn't actually get dogs drunk.
Maddox tries to claim Bert Ziggen(of the Ziggens) actually has some other last name. Why must he make things up like that? First, the getting drunk of dogs, and now this? Fie and shame. If not on him, let's put some on the Allens!
Aloha! email@example.com.

David Livingstone was born in 1813 in Scotland. As one of seven children, Livingstone was raised in poverty and at the age of ten he began work in the local cotton mill, studying the classics in his spare time.
As a young man he became a minister in the London Missionary Society – as a medical student as well as a religious leader, Livingstone's original ambition was to travel to China, gaining access to potential converts by using his medical knowledge. But the Opium Wars made him rethink his plans as Europeans could hardly gain access to the continent.
He attended a lecture on the work of Robert Moffat in Africa and was inspired to follow this new direction. From 1840 he worked in Bechuanaland – now known as Botswana – and married Moffat's daughter, Mary in 1844. She travelled with him in the African hinterland, at his insistence, despite her pregnancy and the protests of her parents before returning to England with their children.
He explored the African interior, travelling inland, looking for converts and seeking to end the slave trade, which he saw as his life's missions. By 1842, he had already gone further north into Kalahari country than any other white man and was the first European to see the Mosi-oa-Tunya waterfall, which he renamed Victoria Falls after Queen Victoria.
He was an advocate of combined trade and Christian missions being established in central Africa and he believed the key to this would be found in the navigation of the Zambezi River. He returned to Britain to drum up support and publish a book on his travels, during this period he resigned from the London Missionary Society, to which he had belonged.
Livingstone returned to Africa as head of the Zambezi Expedition, a British government-funded project to examine the natural resources of south-eastern Africa. The Zambezi turned out to be completely un-navigable at a series of cataracts and rapids that Livingstone had failed to explore on his earlier travels.
This expedition lasted from March 1858 until the middle of 1864! There were many complaints during the mammoth exploration: Livingstone was an inexperienced leader and had trouble managing a large-scale project, he dismissed the artist Thomas Baines for theft – which Baines denied hotly, Livingstone's wife Mary died in1863 of dysentery, but Livingstone continued the journey until the government ordered the expedition's recall. Because the Zambezi Expedition was considered a failure by many newspapers of the time, Livingstone experienced great difficulty in raising future funds. He seems to have been a man whom many struggled to get on with, and that didn't help, when his ambitions were so huge.
In March 1866, Livingstone returned to Africa, seeking the source of the Nile. Finding the Lualaba River, which feeds the Congo River, Livingstone decided that this river was the real Nile.
At this point he became ill and completely lost contact with the outside world for six years. Only one of his forty four letters made it to Zanzibar and Henry Morton Stanley, who had been sent (as a publicity stunt) to find him by the New York Herald newspaper in 1869, finally located Livingstone in the town of Ujiji, near Lake Tanganyika, in 1871.
Despite Stanley's urgings, Livingstone was determined not to leave Africa until his mission was complete. His illnesses, and tendency to self medicate made him confused and affected his judgement. As evidence of this, he accepted help from Arab slave merchants who were seeking slaves and who used him to make contact with local people.
He died on the southern shores of Lake Bangweulu in 1873 from malaria and internal bleeding caused by dysentery. His body, carried over a thousand miles by his servants, was returned to Britain for burial in Westminster Abbey. His motto, inscribed in the base of his statue at Victoria Falls, was Christianity, Commerce and Civilisation.

Liquid SunRead MoreFor Liquid Sun owner Natalie, spray tanning is more than just a career; it's personal. After watching her mother battle and survive skin cancer, she knew she couldn't just watch the UV-tanning epidemic grow unchecked. She decided to open a tanning salon solely dedicated to UV-free methods, creating a space where she could help clients get the rich dark tans they desired while educating them on the risks of UV exposure. Natalie uses two styles of organic, hypoallergenic solutions, one for classic spray tans and a darker specialty hue that she uses during weekly tanning appointments with the Washington Wizards cheerleaders. Both solutions have hydrating and skin-firming properties and are free of fragrances and ingredients that could clog pores, such as liquid cement. Her hand-applied tans stay put for 7–10 days, giving clients the perfect hues they need for big events such as weddings, vacations, and proms.

Use an educational consultant to ask those tough questions you are not comfortable asking.
Parents are in a difficult position when it comes to finding out information about schools. Because they are private schools, they are not subject to the usual sunshine or freedom of information laws. They are under no legal obligation to tell you anything. You need to know exactly what is lurking behind those gorgeous web photos and enthusiastic classroom shots.
The following questions are ones you might want to ask but might feel uncomfortable asking. That's why it's a good thing to hire an educational consultant. She can ask such questions with relative impunity. Plus she will think of dozens of other questions and raise many other issues about schools which will factor into your choice of schools
1. Why did those five seniors get expelled just before graduation?
Perhaps there was an article in the local press. It doesn't matter. The Internet makes unwelcome publicity widely available in minutes. Naturally you want to know what happened just in case the situation is symptomatic of something more serious. You will probably learn a lot about how the school enforces its code of conduct which you and your child could be signing if you decide to go there.
2. Is it true that the school is having financial difficulties?
There are plenty of signals that a school is in trouble. Declining enrolments and staff turnover are just two of the more obvious signs. No sense in sending your child to a school which is having problems. Your consultant will have made discreet inquiries and will have checked the school's Form 990 to learn more about the financial background. In these tough economic times with endowment funds decimated by financial turmoil, sound financial management is critical to the school's ability to survive and be sustainable.
3. How many places are still available?
A consultant can find out the answer to that question in a heartbeat. The admissions office relies on its network of consultants as one means of filling places. Last minute vacancies do occur. This is particularly important at moderately competitive schools. The very competitive schools will have long waiting lists. The moderately competitive schools will have shorter waiting lists. Your chances of getting in improve the less competitive the school is.
4. My child was expelled from Shady Grove Country Day School. Does she stand a chance of getting in?
Before you spend a lot of time, effort and money applying to the school, you need to know whether you are wasting your time or not. Since the consultant knows your child and has reviewed the circumstances of her unfortunate dismissal from SGCDS, he can make the discreet inquiries necessary and test the waters for you. It will not be easy to pull off, but it can be done.
5. One of your teachers was arrested in an FBI child pornography sting. How do I know that the other teachers are suitable?
One teacher's transgressions can certainly cloud a school's reputation. But the truth is that the school has probably bent over backwards to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again. Your consultant can confirm that for you and reassure you that all is well in the faculty lounge.
Hiring an educational consultant is always a good move. These professionals know their schools and have excellent networks through which they can find out just about anything you need to know. After all you are investing significant sums of money in your child's high school education. Due diligence is a must. Leave it to the professional to ask the tough questions which you can't ask.

Bradley Cooper Lives With His Mom Gloria: "It's Not Easy," But "She's a Cool Chick"
Regardless of his romantic status, the most important woman in Bradley Cooper's life is his mother, Gloria. In fact, in the May issue of Details, the Hangover 3 actor reveals the two have been living together since the January 2011 passing of his father, Charles, following a long cancer battle.
"Let's face it: It's probably not easy for her, by the way, to be living with her son. It's life. And right now, two years after my father's death, this is where we are. My family is very close, and my dad dying was brutal for all of us. It was a schism, and its aftershock has not stopped. And we need each other. So here we are," Cooper tells the magazine. "But don't get me wrong. It's not without complications. It's not like I live in a compound and she's in the guesthouse. No. She's in the next room. But here's the thing: She's a cool chick. We can hang, and she can roll with the punches. If that wasn't the case, there's no way."
PHOTOS: Bradley Cooper's love life
Cooper adds that his father's passing made him realize his own mortality. "'Oh, right, I'm going to die too.' Here it is. It's not in a book. It's not in a movie. It's not in a story that was told to me. It's not driving by an accident or watching it on TV. It's someone you love dying in front of you," the Oscar-nominated actor says. "I was like, 'Okay. This is death. And this is going to happen to me one day.' There was a huge freedom that came with that."
"I just don't sweat the sh-t. The small stuff. My mind is just less busy now. There were so many times when I would sweat the small stuff. All through my life. High school. College. As an actor. My dad's death allowed me to be more at ease with being myself. And if someone's not going to like me, that's just the way it is," Cooper tells Details. "I used to think, 'Oh, my God. I don't want to make anyone not like me. I don't want to ruffle any feathers.' Now it's like, 'I'm just going to be myself and trust that. And I'm enjoying life more."
VIDEO: Bradley Cooper brings his mom to the Oscars
The once-wed star also reveals that he hopes to have a family of his own one day. "I really hope I have that experience in my life," says Cooper, who is dating 20-year-old model Suki Waterhouse. "I saw how much joy fatherhood gave my own dad. So I hope it's part of my journey. You go through stages in your life, and fatherhood seems like a natural stage."

A few weeks after racing in Western Africa, Roberto Mandje placed second at The Downhill Mile road race in Superior, Colorado, on July 4th.
"I figured it'd be fun to race such a short
distance," says Mandje, who clocked 4:10 on the fast course. "I would've liked to run quicker,
but with zero speed work and barely a week after returning from Africa, I'll take it. I always enjoy racing and supporting local races."
Colbert Tops Women's Field at the Dawg Days XTERRA
After breaking her foot during the run leg of the Dawg Days XTERRA offroad triathlon a few years ago, Lucia Colbert, 54, was thrilled to find herself leading the women's field at this year's race, held on June 25th in Little Rock, Arkansas.
She rocked the 0.5-mile swim, 12-mile mountain bike and 4-mile trail run with a total time of 2:06:00 and the overall women's victory.
"I didn't have my best day because of a sore hamstring, but ended up winning by staying steady," says Colbert. "I wore my Lady Issac Guidance Trainers to protect my toes from all the rocks. In fact, the men's overall winner also broke his toe on the run!"

Awesome at Ironman Austria
"There's nothing quite like the "Big Show" of Ironman Austria," says Newton Running athlete Meredith Dolhare. "They've been doing this event for a long time, and have it down right. The swim was beautiful, the bike was one of my favorite courses ever, and the run can be super fast. Spectator and volunteer support are second to none for a European race."
Dolhare had a great race in Klagenfurt, Austria, on July 1, especially considering that she had completed Ironman France just one week earlier. Her time of 11:35:22 placed her 26th in her age group.
"I went faster in all three disciplines, and my legs held up pretty well," says says. "I was very surprised to have ridden so well, however, I wish I could have carried that into the run. Incredibly enough, the top-five women in my age group went under 10 hours. Last year, my time would have been ninth, so I am kind of shocked at the placement."

2003 Subaru Impreza • 99,000 miles
I live in Canada - last winter my car started doing this, then was fine all summer. Now that it's cold out, it's doing it again. When I first start it up, the radio, clock and windshield wipers won't turn on for 20 seconds up to a minute or two (seems like the colder the weather, the longer it takes). Then all of a sudden, all three come on at the same time. I keep it in a heated garage at night, but it sits outside at work all day.
Any ideas on what could be causing this? Thank you for any help!

Picture: Kyra Sedgwick The premiere of 'The Possession' held at ArcLight Cinemas - Arrivals Los Angeles, California - 28.08.12
The Possession has topped the US box office charts after opening this weekend and frankly, we're not entirely sure why. Perhaps it's the allure of Kyra Sedgwick. Perhaps people were fooled by the Jewish-slant on the traditionally-Catholic-based genre. Whatever it was, The Possession - which also stars Natasha Calis and Jeffrey Dean Morgan - has defied the critical pasting that it received (it has only scored a paltry 35 per cent on the Rotten Tomatoes site) and raked in around 17.7 million dollars on what was, admittedly, a slow weekend at the box office.
According to the box office tracker Hollywood.com, overall takings were down four per cent on last year - continuing the downward trend being set this summer. Shia Laboeuf's new drama Lawless came in at second place on the chart, having taken $9.7 million. The action hero movie The Expendables 2 slipped to third place. The film stars Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzengger, Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Chuck Norris and Jean Claude Van Damme: a veritable smorgasbord of big-screen beefcakes. The muscle-men have already spent two weeks at the top, we reckon they won't have been happy to make way for a poorly-received horror re-hash.
Summer 2012 has not been a good one for movies. Overall income has been boosted by the success of big blockbuster movies such as Avengers and Dark Knight Rises but has also been let down by flops such as Battleships and Rock of Ages. Industry insiders are blaming everything from the Olympics to the Denver shootings for disappointing movie theatre attendance and all eyes are on the new James Bond movie Skyfall to buck the trend.

Glen Campbell: I Have Alzheimer's
Legendary country music singer Glen Campbell has revealed that he has Alzheimer's Disease. He was informed of his condition about six months ago.
Yet despite the diagnosis, the 75-year-old Campbell plans to release one more album in August and then go on a final tour.
I hope Campbell is able to make his way up to Boston or New York because he has long been on my list of musicians I have wanted to see in concert.
The first Glen Campbell song I ever heard? Why "Rhinestone Cowboy", of course. But before that there were all those magnificent Jimmy Webb songs he turned into works of art - "Wichita Lineman", "By The Time I Get to Phoenix" and "Galveston" to name but several.
Campbell has long been a conservative and yet enjoyed fruitful collaborations with the likes of Webb and The Smothers Brothers. I get the sense they respected Campbell's boundaries and he respected theirs.
Of course, Campbell has had long documented battles with divorce, drugs and drink. But what's done is done. I hope Campbell will make the very best of the circumstances he has been handed and wish him the best in making music one last time.

Detailed review
The highest quality, fastest computer I've owned to date. The major drawback is the price. If money is no object, this is the computer to get.
good review!
