A defense request to throw out the murder charges against accused courthouse gunman Brian Nichols is among several motions that will be argued this week in Atlanta.
Hearings that start Monday will also address defense motions to exclude Nichols' statements to police, prevent local sheriff's deputies from acting as bailiffs at his trial, make prosecutors reveal certain evidence they might use, and protect the defendant's right to counsel.

I'd find it hard to choose. I prefer the shape of the London banner, but the Amsterdam line thickness seems better.
Hi there,
I am working on a map for a diplomacy game board. The map's style is adapted to other illustration found in the game such as this card illustration:
So here in attachment you will find the map (work in progress). I am working on city names and as you can see, I am writing them on banners, above the city. There are two banners currently, one for London which has thicker edges and one for Amsterdam, with thinner edges. Which one do you think is most fitting the style of the map so far? I personally have the feeling Amsterdam's too thin, and looks too detailed in comparison to rough edges elsewhere.
Do you think it will be OK to have banners all over?
I intend to add some more illustrations in between (mountains, forests, rivers, various characters).
Please let me know your opinion / feedback. Thanks
I'd find it hard to choose. I prefer the shape of the London banner, but the Amsterdam line thickness seems better.
I would echo Lukc on this, the Amsterdam components feel better together but I like the shape of the London scroll.
We do not stop playing because we grow old.
We grow old because we stop playing.
Well, there will be about 8 different shapes in total, otherwise it would look odd. So we agree on thickness, cool Thanks.
I think, I'd go for something in between, the Amsterdam seems a bit thin, close to pixelating. However, I think having banner all over the map, might be a tad much - one way to test it is to just copy on banner all over to get a feel for it

Ok, after doing a quick test, it becomes obvious the banner idea is not that great after all
I could make them smaller, but that would not be OK on a board game. Although, after considerations, other games have ridiculously small names for their regions (eg. Diplomacy, Risk). So here is a try too at smaller banners.
Anyway, perhaps the entire banner idea should not be used, so I tried banner free too.
Any other suggestion on how to label the cities?
Last edited by jesuisbenjamin; 12-04-2011 at 07:22 PM. Reason: Added alternative labels
Airports use 3 letter aberviations to identify them, so a short abreviation with a legend off to the side might work.
The texture is not terribly strong, and the cities are reasonably well spaced out. Have you considered going without banners and just making the labels about the size that they would have been if they were on the banners? You might need a little bit of padding around them if they crossed a border line, especially where they cross coastlines. Your city density is roughly similar to that of Ticket to Ride: Europe, so a label size similar to that board would probably work out well for you.
Bryan Ray, visual effects artist
Or you could try stretch out the names through the whole province? Make them province names instead, obviating the need for labels? Just thinking here ...
Thanks for the feedback. I think the banner idea has to be dropped off.
@Atpollard: it is technically OK to abbreviate, but that would really affect the atmosphere of the game. The map contributes to the role-playing and if the game were a taking place in modern times it would be fine I guess. This one is a 18th-19th Century cartoonish theme.
@Lukc: I also had this idea indeed. Cities are favoured over regions, because they have less political meaning. Regions are often a-historical, especially with the silly boundaries I have made here. It was something that, even as a kid, I disliked about Risk, which came up with an unrealistic map. (It didn't stop it from being s success though). I will consider this option though.
@Midgard: So yes, I think it's the best option so far. I've tried increasing enough so it does not need to overlap and so avoid padding. Some cities are written in water like Copenhagen, and it goes well. Other cities with longer names perhaps look a bit odd: Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Stockholm and Constantinople are such cases.
What do you think?

49 U.S. Code § 41112 - Liability insurance and financial responsibility
prev | next
(a) Liability Insurance.— The Secretary of Transportation may issue a certificate to a citizen of the United States to provide air transportation as an air carrier under section 41102 of this title only if the citizen complies with regulations and orders of the Secretary governing the filing of an insurance policy or self-insurance plan approved by the Secretary. The policy or plan must be sufficient to pay, not more than the amount of the insurance, for bodily injury to, or death of, an individual or for loss of, or damage to, property of others, resulting from the operation or maintenance of the aircraft under the certificate. A certificate does not remain in effect unless the carrier complies with this subsection.
(b) Financial Responsibility.— To protect passengers and shippers using an aircraft operated by an air carrier issued a certificate under section 41102 of this title, the Secretary may require the carrier to file a performance bond or equivalent security in the amount and on terms the Secretary prescribes. The bond or security must be sufficient to ensure the carrier adequately will pay the passengers and shippers when the transportation the carrier agrees to provide is not provided. The Secretary shall prescribe the amounts to be paid under this subsection.

Slowly but surely, every popular horror movie from the 1980s is getting remade. With Friday the 13th already on DVD and A Nightmare on Elm Street opening on April 16, Fright Night and Pet Sematary are the latest '80s horror movies to get remade.
The LA Times reports that Dreamworks has found a director for Fright Night in Craig Gillespie, whose directorial efforts Lars and the Real Girl and Mr. Woodcock weren't widely viewed in horror circles. It was Gillespie's directorial work on Showtime's The United States of Tara, however, that has put him in good standing with Dreamworks principal Steven Spielberg, who in turn thinks Gillespie can handle Fright Night. The original movie was a mix of both comedy and horror that followed a teenager obsessed with horror movies who finds that a vampire has moved into his neighborhood.
Marti Noxon, who wrote for the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV show, is handling the scriptwriting duties, which, according to a report last November from ShockTillYouDrop, may have its protagonist seek help from actor Chris Sarandon, who played the evil vampire in the original Fright Night, to vanquish the bloodsucker. This would be a twist on the original, where the late Roddy McDowall played a late-night horror movie host who was enlisted to destroy Sarandon.
Pet Sematary, meanwhile, is a little further behind in its development, with THR reporting that Matthew Greenberg has been hired by Paramount to write the screenplay after years of failed attempts to remake the movie. Based on the 1983 Stephen King novel about a pet cemetery that rests on an ancient burial ground, Greenberg will find himself in familiar territory, having already adapted one of King's short stories into the successful 2007 horror movie 1408, which grossed $131 million worldwide.
So ... what '80s horror movie is next? The Weinstein Company is still attempting
to revive the Hellraiser franchise, but there are many other possibilities. What about 1986's comedy-horror hybrid House? And King still has plenty of movies that have yet to be remade such as Cujo or Christine. Surely, it won't take long before these movies get the remake treatment.

The High Court in Tabora yesterday dismissed a petition, which sought to unseat Kasulu Rural MP Agripina Zaituni Buyogera (NCCR-Mageuzi), who was elected during the October 30, 2010 general election.
High Court Judge Haruna Songoro rejected the petition filed by the then CCM parliamentary candidate, Daniel Nsazungwanko, on grounds that the petitioner had failed to prove his claims.
The court went through the evidence submitted by 34 petition witnesses and asked: "If the claims levelled against the MP were true, why did the petitioner fail to submit them to the constituency's Ethics Committee?"
While the Judge was delivering his verdict at the full-packed court, the petitioner stood up and got out of the court room, rising public attention, as some of them jeered at him.
Speaking after the judgment, Nsanzungwanko said he was not satisfied with the ruling, expressing his intention to lodge an appeal.
For his part, Kasulu Rural MP Buyogera hailed the court for reaching such a decision, noting that "justice was done."
She promised to continue serving Kasulu residents diligently and truthfully, as she had pledged during the election campaigns.
In the case, the petitioner was presented by independent advocate Mussa Kassimu, while state attorneys (Prudens Rweyongeza and Castus Ndamugoba) and independent lawyer Rweyemamu Kagashe stood for the respondents, the Attorney General and Kasulu Rural MP, respectively.
Residents interviewed after the verdict thanked the High Court for fair ruling and upheld Buyogera's victory.

A settlement has been reached between North Carolina regulators and a rescue center in an effort to protect endangered turtles in coastal waters.
The North Carolina Marine Fisheries Commission and the Division of Marine Fisheries agreed to new rules governing fishing practices to minimize the incidental catch of turtles.
The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center filed the lawsuit in February to protest the use of gill nets by coastal fishermen. The center alleged that the nets ensnare and kill sea turtles.
There will be new rules regulating the size and type of gill nets and the time frame when they can be deployed. Among other new regulations, a committee is being appointed that will advise state authorities on sea turtle protection.

The Annis Pinnacle is a 4-door sedan/ saloon in Grand Theft Auto IV.
DesignThe Pinnacle is mostly based on the sixth generation Nissan Maxima. The rear resembles a 2004-2008 Nissan Maxima, while the front end resembles a 2003-2008 Nissan Teana. The area around the back license plate is arranged similarly to those on many older Infinitis and Mitsubishis. The car as a whole bears many similarities to the Ford Five Hundred. Instead of fog lights, the Pinnacle is equipped with daytime running lights where the lights are always on regardless of time of day similar to those of second generation Acura MDX. The name "Pinnacle" may be a play on "Maxima", as both of the names suggest an uppermost extreme.
The Pinnacles 3.5L V6 is coupled to a 5 speed gearbox in an FR drivetrain layout. The engine pulls strongly, launching the vehicle off the line quickly to 60 mph in 9.4 seconds and giving it a top speed of 285 km/h (177 mph). Braking is adequate but not great, often requiring great distances to come to a complete halt; ABS is an optional equipment. The suspension is firm, but due to its shallow maximum wheel angle, the Pinnacle corners very poorly even at slow speeds. The ride is very firm, and unsettled. Engine build quality is mediocre, causing the engine to fail after only a few frontal impacts; pedestrian safety is also poor with a high chance of the pedestrian being crushed. The windows are big enough for a person to fairly easily shoot the occupants. In the frontal offset, the front occupants have a 40% chance of winshield ejection, which is acceptable for its class.
The car can be spotted in northern Alderney, but may also spawn in BOABO, Broker and Varsity Heights, Algonquin.
- The two default radio stations in the Pinnacle are The Beat 102.7 and The Classics 104.1.
- Although the Pinnacle has a V6, it has the same V8 sound as the Feltzer.
- The badging on the car says 3.5Z, it's an obvious reference to the Nissan Maxima, since all sixth generation Maxima's feature 3.5l engines. It also references the Nissan 350Z.

The following post was inspired by several conversations and practices that I've had over the years regarding the subject of "ducking" in video games.

The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) and the Center on Nonprofits and Philanthropy sponsor the Fundraising Effectiveness Project (FEP), which provides nonprofits with tools for tracking and evaluating their annual growth or decline in giving. The FEP focuses on "effectiveness" (maximizing growth in giving) rather than "efficiency" (minimizing costs). It conducts an annual survey and publishes gain (loss) statistics in a yearly report.
The 2010 Report (pdf) is enlightening. The Project looks at "donor lifetime value: the total net contribution that a donor generates during his/her lifetime on a [nonprofit's]." It also looks at donor defection rates, or the rate of declining donations following a first gift. For cash gifts, it's 50% in the first year and 30% each year after that! In addition, 30% of 'regular or sustainer givers' are lost from year to year.
With these ongoing trends, and the time and money needed to attract new donors--over and over again--learning how to attract and keep donors with the greatest potential lifetime value is critical for nonprofit sustainability.
During a recent AFP webinar, several 'drivers of lifetime value' were discussed, starting with reasons donors defect. Simply: lack of customer satisfaction with their donating experience, led by the lack of responsiveness by the nonprofit staff. Donors who were surveyed said they were ignored, lied to, meetings were delayed, staff were 'uncivil,' and the nonprofit/staff 'failed to deliver on promises.'
On the other hand, a high level of donor satisfaction with the customer service they receive from a charity's staff drives donation levels and repeat gifts. The higher the satisfaction, the more likely the donor is to give again and again.
Regular, sustained giving is based on trust, commitment, satisfaction, and identification. Basing your donor-relations activities on excellent customer service, getting to know what is important to your donors, and learning how they want to engage with your organization will reduce defections and build greater lifetime value for your organization.
A win-win for all!!

WASHINGTON – Think before picking up or returning calls to numbers you don't recognize. Calls from area codes such as 809, 284 or 876 might be attempts to rip you off.
The scam lets crooks steal your money by simply getting you on the phone. Numbers that look harmless may be for an out-of-country connection using a phone carrier that charges exhorbitant rates.
The goal is to keep you on the line for as long as possible while charging up to $3.99 a minute.
AARP Magazine says many of these scams operate out of Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, the British Virgin Islands or other Caribbean islands. Some area codes for those locations to beware of include 809, 284, 649, and 876.
The initial solicitation may say you've won a trip or prize or that additional information is needed from you to receive a delivery. Getting you on the phone in those cases is a potential win win for the rip-off artists.
Even if the scammers don't get personal information to use for nefarious reasons, they still can get your money by over charging for the phone call.
The Federal Communications Commission warns this ploy also is targeting cell phone users. The call might leave voice mail asking you to phone back, or the call may disconnect after a few rings to lure you into returning the call.
AT&T suggests you avoid the area code scam by returning phone calls only to familiar numbers.
You also can check online for the cities and countries served by specific area codes.

Azerbaijan combines the heritage of two venerable civilizations--the Seljuk Turks of the 11th century and the ancient Persians. Its name is thought to be derived from the Persian phrase "Land of Fire," referring both to its petroleum deposits, known since ancient times, and to its status as a former center of the Zoroastrian faith. The Azerbaijani Republic borders the Iranian provinces of East and West Azerbaijan, although they have not been united into a single state in modern times.
Little is known about Azerbaijan's history until its conquest and conversion to Islam by the Arabs in 642 AD. Centuries of prosperity as a province of the Muslim caliphate followed. After the decline of the Arab Empire, Azerbaijan was ravaged during the Mongol invasions but regained prosperity in the 13th-15th centuries under the Mongol II-Khans, the native Shirvan Shahs, and under Persia's Safavid Dynasty.
Due to its location astride the trade routes connecting Europe to Central Asia and the Near East and on the shore of the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan was fought over by Russia, Persia, and the Ottomans for several centuries. Finally the Russians split Azerbaijan's territory with Persia in 1828 by the Treaty of Turkmenchay, establishing the present frontiers and extinguishing the last native dynasties of local Azerbaijani khans. The beginning of modern exploitation of the oil fields in the 1870s led to a period of unprecedented prosperity and growth in the years before World War I.
At the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917, an independent republic was proclaimed in 1918 following an abortive attempt to establish a Transcaucasian Republic with Armenia and Georgia. Azerbaijan received de facto recognition by the Allies as an independent nation in January 1920, an independence terminated by the arrival of the Red Army in April. Incorporated into the Transcaucasian Federated Soviet Socialist Republic in 1922, Azerbaijan became a union republic of the USSR in 1936. The late 1980s were characterized by increasing unrest, eventually leading to a violent confrontation when Soviet troops killed 190 nationalist demonstrators in Baku in January 1990. Azerbaijan declared its independence from the USSR on August 30, 1991.
The dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991 brought an end to the Cold War and created the opportunity to build relations with the New Independent States (NIS) as they began a political and economic transformation. The United States opened an embassy in Azerbaijan's capital, Baku, in March 1992.
The United States has been actively engaged in international efforts to find a peaceful solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The U.S. has played a leading role in the Minsk Group, which was created in 1992 by the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe--now the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE)--to encourage a peaceful, negotiated resolution to the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia. In early 1997, the U.S. heightened its role by becoming a co-chair, along with Russia and France, of the Minsk Group.
The U.S. supports American investment in Azerbaijan. U.S. companies are involved in three offshore oil development projects with Azerbaijan, and U.S. companies in other fields such as telecommunications have been exploring the emerging investment opportunities in Azerbaijan.
The United States is committed to aiding Azerbaijan in its transition to democracy and formation of an open market economy. The Freedom Support Act (FSA), enacted in October 1992, has been the cornerstone of U.S. efforts to help Azerbaijan during this transition. While section 907 of the FSA prohibits most U.S. Government assistance to the Government of Azerbaijan (until it "ceases all blockades and other offensive uses of force against Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh"), subsequent legislation has allowed U.S. assistance in key areas, including programs that support democracy, humanitarian assistance and nonproliferation. Under the FSA, the U.S. to date has provided approximately $165.92 million in humanitarian and developmental assistance to Azerbaijan, including $32.18 million in FY 2000.
The U.S. and Azerbaijan have signed a bilateral trade agreement, and Azerbaijan has most favored nation status. A Bilateral Investment Treaty also has been signed.
U.S. Humanitarian Assistance
Since 1992, the United States has disbursed more than $140 million in humanitarian assistance to the IDP, refugee, and war-affected populations of Azerbaijan. U.S. assistance is provided principally through Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs). The primary PVOs now implementing and coordinating USAID funded assistance programs are Mercy Corps International (MCI), Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA), International Rescue Committee (IRC), Save the Children, and the Community Housing Foundation (CHF). Likewise Shore Bank LTD and the Foundation for International Community Assistance (FINCA) provide small- and medium-scale loans to the IDP, refugee, and war-affected populations to increase their economic viability. USAID, USDA, as well as the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) and the Office of the Coordinator for U.S. Assistance to the New Independent States (S/NIS/C) provide funds directed toward increased humanitarian assistance.

Azerbaijan is an economy in transition in which the state continues to play a dominant role. It has important oil reserves and a significant agronomic potential based on a wide variety of climatic zones. Since 1995, in cooperation with the IMF, Azerbaijan has pursued a highly successful economic stabilization program, which has brought inflation down from 1,800% in 1994 to 1.8% in 2000. GDP in 2000 grew by more than 11%, the fifth consecutive increase. The national currency, the manat, was stable in 2000, depreciating 3.8% against the dollar. The budget deficit equaled a modest 1.3% of GDP in 2000.
Progress on economic reform has generally lagged behind macroeconomic stabilization. The government has undertaken regulatory reforms in some areas, including substantial opening of trade policy, but inefficient public administration in which commercial and regulatory interests are co-mingled limit the impact of these reforms. The government has largely completed privatization of agricultural lands and small and medium-sized enterprises. In August 2000, the government launched a second-stage privatization program, in which many large state enterprises will be privatized.
For more than a century the backbone of the Azerbaijani economy has been petroleum. Now that Western oil companies are able to tap deepwater oilfields untouched by the Soviets because of poor technology, Azerbaijan is considered one of the most important spots in the world for oil exploration and development. Proven oil reserves in the Caspian Basin, which Azerbaijan shares with Russia, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan, are comparable in size to the North Sea, although exploration is still in the early stages.
Azerbaijan has concluded 21 production-sharing agreements with various oil companies. Substantial progress also has occurred on plans for an export pipeline that would transport Caspian oil to the Mediterranean from Baku through Tbilisi, Georgia to Ceyhan, Turkey. Eastern Caspian producers in Kazakhstan also have expressed interest in accessing this pipeline to transport a portion of their production. In March 2001, Azerbaijan concluded a gas agreement with Turkey, providing a significant future export market for Azerbaijan.
Environmental Issues
Azerbaijan faces serious environmental challenges. Soil throughout the region was contaminated by DDT and toxic defoliants used in cotton production during the Soviet era. Caspian petroleum and petrochemicals industries also have contributed to present air and water pollution problems. Several environmental organizations exist in Azerbaijan, yet few funds have been allocated to begin the necessary cleanup and prevention programs. Over-fishing by poachers is threatening the survival of Caspian sturgeon stocks, the source of most of the world's supply of caviar. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) has listed as threatened all sturgeon species, including all commercial Caspian varieties.
The Government of Azerbaijan consists of three branches:
--The executive branch is made up of the President, his Apparat, a Prime Minister, and the Cabinet of Ministers;
--The legislative branch consists of the 125-member Parliament (Milli Majlis). Members are elected for 5-year terms, with 100 of them elected from territorial districts and 25 elected from party lists; and
--The judicial branch, headed by a Constitutional Court, is nominally independent.
Azerbaijan declared its independence from the former Soviet Union on August 30, 1991, with Ayaz Mutalibov, former First Secretary of the Azerbaijani Communist Party, becoming the country's first President. Following a massacre of Azerbaijanis at Khojali in Nagorno-Karabakh in March 1992, Mutalibov resigned and the country experienced a period of political instability. The old guard returned Mutalibov to power in May 1992, but less than a week later his efforts to suspend scheduled presidential elections and ban all political activity prompted the opposition Popular Front Party (PFP) to organize a resistance movement and take power. Among its reforms, the PFP dissolved the predominantly Communist Supreme Soviet and transferred its functions to the 50-member upper house of the legislature, the National Council.
Elections in June 1992 resulted in the selection of PFP leader Abulfez Elchibey as the country's second president. The PFP-dominated government, however, proved incapable of either credibly prosecuting the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict or managing the economy, and many PFP officials came to be perceived as corrupt and incompetent. Growing discontent culminated in June 1993 in an armed insurrection in Ganja, Azerbaijan's second-largest city. As the rebels advanced virtually unopposed on Baku, President Elchibey fled to his native province of Nakhchivan. The National Council conferred presidential powers upon its new Speaker, Heydar Aliyev, former First Secretary of the Azerbaijani Communist Party (1969-81) and later a member of the U.S.S.R. Politburo and USSR Deputy Prime Minister (until 1987). Elchibey was formally deposed by a national referendum in August 1993, and Aliyev was elected to a 5-year term as President in October with only token opposition. Aliyev won re-election to another 5-year term in 1998, in an election marred by serious irregularities.
Azerbaijan's first Parliament was elected in 1995. The present 125-member unicameral Parliament was elected in November 2000 in an election that showed improvements in democratic processes, but still did not meet international standards as free and fair. A majority of parliamentarians are from the President's "New Azerbaijan Party." Opposition parties are represented in Parliament. According to the Constitution, the Speaker of Parliament stands next in line to the President. The current Speaker is Murtuz Aleskerov.
Azerbaijan has a strong presidential system in which the legislative and judicial branches have only limited independence.
Principal Government Officials
President--Heydar Aliyev
Prime Minister--Artur Rasizade
Foreign Minister--Vilayat Guliyev
Ambassador to the U.S--Hafiz Mir Jalal Pashayev
Ambassador to the UN--Eldar Quliyev
Azerbaijan's embassy in the U.S. is at 927 Fifteenth Street, NW, Suite 700, Washington, D.C. 20005; tel: 202-842-0001; fax: 202-842-0004; www.azembassy.com.
In July 1992, Azerbaijan ratified the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE), which establishes comprehensive limits on key categories of conventional military equipment and provides for the destruction of weaponry in excess of those limits. Although Azerbaijan did not provide all data required by the treaty on its conventional forces at that time, it has accepted on-site inspections of forces on its territory. Azerbaijan approved the CFE flank agreement in May, 1997. It also has acceded to the nuclear Non-Proliferation treaty as a non-nuclear weapons state. Azerbaijan participates in NATO's Partnership for Peace.
Azerbaijan is a member of the United Nations; the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe; NATO's Partnership for Peace; Euro-Atlantic Partnership; World Health Organization; CFE Treaty member state; the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; the Council of Europe; the Community of Democracies; the International Monetary Fund; and the World Bank.
The major domestic issue affecting Azerbaijan is the dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh, a predominantly ethnic Armenian region within Azerbaijan. The current conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh (NK) began in 1988 when Armenian demonstrations against Azerbaijani rule broke out in both N-K and Armenia and the N-K Supreme Soviet voted to secede from Azerbaijan. In 1990, after violent episodes in N-K, Baku and Sumgait, Moscow declared a state of emergency in N-K, sent troops to the region, and forcibly occupied Baku. In April 1991, Azerbaijani militia and Soviet forces targeted Armenian paramilitaries operating in N-K; Moscow also deployed troops to Yerevan. However, in September 1991, Moscow declared it would no longer support Azerbaijani military action in N-K. Armenian militants then stepped up the violence. In October 1991, a referendum in N-K approved independence.
More than 30,000 people were killed in the fighting from 1992 to 1994. In May 1992, Armenian and Karabakhi forces seized Susha (the historical, Azerbaijani-populated capital of N-K) and Lachin (thereby linking N-K to Armenia). By October 1993, Armenian and Karabakhi forces had succeeded in occupying almost all of N-K, Lachin and large areas in southwestern Azerbaijan. As Armenian and Karabakhi forces advanced, hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijani refugees fled to other parts of Azerbaijan. In 1993, the UN Security Council adopted resolutions calling for the cessation of hostilities, unimpeded access for international humanitarian relief efforts, and the eventual deployment of a peacekeeping force in the region. The UN also called for immediate withdrawal of all ethnic Armenian forces from the occupied territories of Azerbaijan. Fighting continued, however, until May 1994 when Russia brokered a cease-fire.
Negotiations to resolve the conflict peacefully have been ongoing since 1992 under the aegis of the Minsk Group of the OSCE. The Minsk Group is currently co-chaired by Russia, France, and the United States and has representation from Turkey, the U.S., several European nations, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. Despite the 1994 cease-fire, sporadic violations, sniper-fire, and land-mine incidents continue to claim over 100 lives each year.
Since 1997, the Minsk Group Co-Chairs have presented three proposals to serve as a framework for resolving the conflict. One side or the other rejected each of those proposals. Beginning in 1999, the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia initiated a direct dialogue through a series of face-to-face meetings, often facilitated by the Minsk Group Co-Chairs. Most recently the OSCE sponsored a round of negotiations between the Presidents in Key West, Florida. U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell launched the talks on April 3, 2001, and the negotiations continued with mediation by the U.S., Russia, and France until April 6, 2001. The Co-Chairs are continuing to work with the two Presidents in the hope of finding a lasting peace.

FAIRVIEW HEIGHTS, Ill. (KSDK) - A federal grand jury indicted the assistant police chief in Centreville, Illinois for allegedly selling a firearm to a convicted felon, US Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois Stephen Wigginton said Wednesday.
Corey Allen, 31, was indicted December 11 for making false statements to federal investigators.
Prosecutors allege federal investigators questioned Corey Allen on November 30 about whether he supplied a handgun to a convicted criminal. According to court documents, Allen lied and said he'd never even seen the gun prior to October 11. Investigators say Allen sold the gun to the felon on May 3 for $100.
If convicted, Corey Allen faces up to five years imprisonment, a $250,000 fine and three years of supervised release.

Visit the Moot Court Program page.The Committee is pleased to announce that starting in fall 2014 it is offering a Moot Court Program to counsel with cases in the New York Court of Appeals. Any attorney with a case in the Court of Appeals can apply and request that the Program "moot" his/her argument before a panel of 3-7 "judges," made up of experienced appellate practitioners and former judges. Following the simulated argument by counsel, the judges will provide the attorney with a candid evaluation, including the strengths and weaknesses of counsel's presentation and suggestions for improvement. This program will be a particular benefit to solo practitioners and counsel from small firms who may not have experience in the Court of Appeals or the opportunity to moot an appeal. For further details, and application forms to request a moot argument and to volunteer as a judge, click here.
The New York State Bar Association's Committee on Courts of Appellate Jurisdiction is devoted to improving the practice of appellate law and appellate court operations in the State of New York and developed this Manual in mid-2014 as part of that mission. This Manual provides an overview of appeals in the Appellate Terms in the Appellate Division, First and Second Judicial Departments. We hope it will be a helpful resource for practitioners in the Appellate Terms. Click here to view and download this Manual.
Visit the Pro Bono Appeals Program page.
The committee provides pro bono representation in selected appeals to the Third and Fourth Departments. Previously, the program focused on family law appeals, but now the following topics are covered: education, family stability, health, housing, personal safety, public benefits, and subsistence income. If you are interested in learning more about our program, please click here for a program brochure. For an application, please click here.Recent and Upcoming Programs and Meetings

Volunteer for the American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3)
What if you could prevent even one family from hearing the words "you have cancer"?What if you could help save lives from cancer and give people more of their most precious resource: TIME? More time with family and friends, to help create a world with more memories, more celebrations ... and more birthdays.
One hundred years ago, the American Cancer Society began the fight of a lifetime � the fight to end cancer. Today, we're determined to make this cancer's last century. You can help finish the fight by enrolling in the American Cancer Society's research study called Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3).
Help us finish the fight today. Volunteer for CPS-3.
Who can join the study?The study is open to anyone in the United States and Puerto Rico who is willing to make a long-term commitment to the study, which simply means completing periodic follow up surveys at home for the next 20-30 years, is between 30 and 65 years old, and has never been diagnosed with cancer (not including basal or squamous cell skin cancer).
If you don't meet the eligibility requirements, your significant participation comes from telling everyone you know about the opportunity to help prevent cancer.
How can you participate?The enrollment process involves two steps. One step takes place at a local enrollment event, where you will be asked to read and sign an informed consent form, complete a brief written survey, provide a waist circumference measurement and a small blood sample (similar to a doctor�s visit - 7 teaspoons total). The blood sample will be taken by a certified, trained phlebotomist.
The other step takes place at home, where you will complete a more detailed survey. This survey will ask information on lifestyle, behavioral, and other factors related to your health. Periodically, you will receive a survey at home to update that information.

Vol State Posts Second Highest Graduation Rate for Athletes
Submitted on August 13, 2012 at 9:46 AM
Community college athletic programs may chase tournament spots and championships, but there is something even more important to the players and coaches: doing well academically. Volunteer State Community College has posted the second highest graduation rate in Tennessee for its student athletes. Just over 74 percent of athletes graduated in 2012. The Tennessee Community College Athletic Association (TCCAA) compiles the figures. They include two Vol State students with the highest GPAs in their sports. The women's basketball team won the All-Academic Team Award for the season. In all, nineteen Vol State athletes made the TCCAA All Academic Honors list.
"It's our job to help students succeed in the classroom," said Athletic Director Bobby Hudson. "When parents entrust their kids to you, you owe them the best."
"Coach Lynn always stressed that we were a student first and an athlete second," said softball player Shelby Jo Fenter. "They take academics very seriously."
Fenter is headed to the University of Mississippi and is looking forward to a career in sports marketing. Baseball player Michael Massi will be attending Mercer University.
"As a team we look out for each other and help other players if they're struggling in class," Massi said.
In the 2011 season the Vol State softball team won the Region 7 championship. In 2008-2009 the baseball team won the All Sports award from TCCAA. For more information visit the web page at www.volstate.edu/athletics

Now, I wasn't expecting them to be worn in less than 10 Degree weather, but since Scott claims they are apart of there Snowmobiling line...I figured they would be good at 32-20 degrees. I was wrong. I got them in the mail and wanted to try them out. All I did was take my dog for a walk, but I didn't even make it around the block and my hands were frozen! It was about 28 degrees. I don't know how many people snowmobile in 32 Degree Plus weather (when snow is melting) but these wouldn't be good until about 45 Degrees. Looking for something else now.

Grading the States 2009: Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why has NAMI published the Grading the States' report?
The first Grading the States report was published in 2006. This is the second. They are intended to measure progress in transforming the nation's public mental health care system and provide "checklists for change" for each state's policies and programs.
In 2003, a presidential New Freedom Commission on Mental Health delared the existing mental healthy care system to be fragmented, inadequate and out-of-date, and recommended elements for an evidence-based, cost-effective system.
The reports are the only comprehensive assessment of the nation's mental health care system, grading each state according to specific criteria. The 2006 report provided a baseline against which all subsequent reports can track improvement or decline.
Q. Why is the report important?
One in four Americans experience mental illness at some point in their lives. Ten million Americans live with the most serious conditions. Mental illness can strike anyone-including you, your family, or friends.
Mental illness is the number one cause of disability in the nation; more than any other illness. On average, individuals who live with serious mental illness die 25 years younger than the rest of the population. More than twice as many Americans live with schizophrenia than those HIV/AIDS.
Not everyone gets help through the public mental health care system. But overall, less than a third get any treatment at all. The costs of untreated mental illness get compounded. Money doesn't get spent in the right places. Tragedies occur. People end up in emergency rooms, hospitalized, on the street, in jail or prison-or dead. There is an urgent need for modernization.
Q. What does the report say?
Mental health care in America is in crisis-in part because the nation's severe economic crisis in 2009, resulting in state budget shortfalls and cuts, threatens to erode a system that is already extremely inadequate. Ironically, budget cuts come at a time when, because of the economic crisis, demand for mental health services are rising.
Many dedicated, caring people work in state mental health care system. But they aren't being given the resources and support they need. We need leadership, political will, and investment from governors, legislatures, and other champions.
Besides the grades, the report makes specific findings and recommendations, which are outlined below.
Q. What grades have been given?
Overall, the nation gets no better than a D. The national average has not budged between 2006 and 2009.
Fourteen states improved their grades, Twelve had them fall. Twenty-three stayed the same. We gave six Bs; eighteen Cs; 21 Ds; and six Fs. There were no As. The report includes narratives for each state.
Q. What are the grades based on?
Each state was graded by scoring a total of 65 criteria in four categories. State mental health agencies provided most of the information on which the scoring was based. Next to each state narrative, the scores for the state on each criteria appear on a bar chart. They are compared to the total possible score and the national average on the each criteria.
Q. What is the "Consumer/Family Test Drive"?
One of the criteria used in determining each state's grade involved a "test drive" of the state mental health agency's telephone responses and Web site in providing specific information. NAMI consumer and family volunteers conducted the survey. It reflects the importance for people to be able to receive the right information quickly as a first step in getting help when they need it.
Q. What are some of the key findings?The report's findings are organized into four categories in which each state was graded. Among them are:
Health Promotion & Management
Financing & Core Treatment/Recovery Services
Consumer & Family Empowerment
Community Integration & Social Inclusion

She's so stylish, graceful and fun. I took your hint and found out more about her. Read that she was the producer of an amazing program about the Louvre. I saw that in grade school when I was a child, and it was - hugely - influential in my development as an artist. One of the things that helped me to become the successful, professional artist I am today. You put beauty out into the world - in any way, really - and it makes more. (Your blog certainly proves that, Ari!) I hope she knows how many lives she's touched with her work.

Hi Ari. What an interesting lady. She kind of reminds me of Julia Child. I love that lion pin she is wearing and yes her robot ring is to die for. I read about her career and what an interesting lady. She's now an "independent producer," not that is something to brag about. Yes she has those eyes that seem to be searching your eyes to see what they find. Lovely! Thanks Ari. Have a great day.
