Comments On Mar 23, 2013:At the races it is nice for a quick tear apart but i bought this thinking how great it would be. I haven't really used it that much i keep a really clean work area so losing bolts usually isn't an issue in the garage.

Comments On Mar 15, 2011:Works great...it even stops bolts and nuts if I get them close when tossing them at it. Saves me a lot of time looking around the garage floor for items I've dropped or kicked. Could be a little larger though and have some seperators in it to make it a 5 star product.

Getting a first-hand look behind the scenes at DeWalt and Delta
I just wrapped up two days at the home headquarters of the Black & Decker family of tools—DeWalt, Porter-Cable, Delta, and B&D—in Towson, Maryland, a Baltimore suburb. While there I got a sneak peek at lots of new tools, some ready for launch this summer, others for later this fall, and still more even farther down the road. I even got to use several of the tools—my job is so COOL!
Most of what I saw for release this calendar year carries the DeWalt brand, but I did see a few from Delta and Porter-Cable. Before you get too worked up with excitement, let me disclose now that I can't talk about most of these tools today. It was one of those spit-in-your-hand-and-shake-on-it kind of promises. You know the type: If I tell you about those tools now, there will be a team of mysterious yellow-and-black vans following me home tonight. Yeah, I know, too bad, but stay tuned—you'll really like what's coming. Some of it I'll get to write about in August when the company officially launches those products at the International Woodworking Fair in Atlanta. And you know WOOD Magazine will be all over that show!

Didier Reynders meets Commissioner Ramtane Lamamra of the African Union
Today, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders met Mr Ramtane Lamamra, the African Union's Commissioner for Peace and Security. They spoke primarily of the conflict situations and joint peace initiatives on the African continent.
Minister Reynders and Commissioner Lamamra exchanged thoughts on the possibilities for the European Union and its Member States to be part of an international strategy for the crisis in the Sahel Region, in cooperation with ECOWAS, the African Union and the United Nations.
They also felt that the crisis in North Kivu (Democratic Republic of Congo) must be brought to an end, in part through political dialogue between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo and during the International Conference on the Great Lakes Region. Such dialogue can count on the support of the African Union and Belgium.
Minister Reynders and Commissioner Lamamra are pleased with the agreement recently signed between the Sudanese President al-Bashir and his South Sudanese counterpart Kiir on the basis of the African Union's step-by-step plan (April 2012). They are also hopeful for the difficult stabilisation process in Somalia.

Sherry is an alcoholic beverage sold at the Leaky Cauldron. It is a fortified wine made in the Jerez region of Spain which gives it its name and it is often used for cooking in addition to its intoxicating properties. When the Riddles' cook arrived at The Hanged Man, there was a rush to buy her drinks. After her fourth glass of sherry, she began speaking of ill of Frank Bryce, who many at the pub suspected of the murder of the Riddle family.[1] During the 1995–1996 school year, when Professor Sybill Trelawney was on probation under Hogwarts High Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge, she was drinking plenty of sherry, as Harry Potter could smell whenever he crossed paths with her. She was using the Room of Hidden Things to hide her empty sherry bottles. Trelawney's drinking habit continued into the 1996-1997 school year as she was frustrated at having to share Divination teaching duties with Firenze, whom she referred to pejoratively as "Dobbin."

Manganese Violet is a semi-transparent, bluish-violet pigment with a discrete opacity and low tinting strength. It is the reddest of the violets, and it covers and dries well in oil and tempera. It also performs well in pastel, encaustic, and watercolor. Manganese Violet is not well suited for fresco or acrylic painting. There can be significant differences in color across brands. It shares similar properties with bluish shades of Cobalt Violet.
Manganese Violet has excellent permanence and lightfastness, and it is one of the most lightfast, balanced violets in watercolor form.
Manganese Violet is highly toxic if inhaled and moderately toxic if ingested.
This pigment was developed in 1868 by E. Leykauf to replace the more expensive Cobalt Violet. It was not offered as an artists' pigment until 1890.

Jay Leno says he will be leaving NBC's "Tonight Show" next spring, to be replaced by Jimmy Fallon.
Leno announced the move Wednesday in a news release.
NBC also confirms that the show will be moving to New York City when Fallon takes over. "Saturday Night Live" producer Lorne Michaels will take over as producer of the new "Tonight Show."
The move has been widely reported but not confirmed by the network until now. NBC reportedly just wrapped up negotiations with Fallon on a contract extension.
NBC did not say who will replace Fallon in his current time slot, which is one hour later than the "Tonight Show."

NRA gun instructor misses protest because (wait for it) he shot himself in the foot
April 4, 2013
This reminds of Gun Appreciation Day. National Rifle Association instructor Eugene Kenny could not join his fellow gun-rights supporters at the state Capitol Wednesday because he accidentally shot himself in the foot. Literally. Kenny is a 49 year-old licensed National Rifle Association instructor who leads training classes in pistol and rifle use.
Kenny said, "I usually always cock it back and it usually ejects a shell that's in the chamber. You pull the trigger to release the slide … This time there was a cartridge in there. And BANG! Hit my ankle."
Watch (how could you not?): http://youtu.be/1NFsqb87-aU
New Haven Independent reports, "Vazquez said his detectives are also still investigating the theft of a safe last November from Kenny's apartment. It contained around 10 guns—mostly handguns, plus a Saiga 12 shotgun. "I took a hit, $8,000 worth of firearms" in that theft, Kenny said."
Is it bad that I'm laughing? Oh well.

(Makes four servings, adapted from Gourmet Magazine)
4 center cut boneless pork chops, pounded to 3/4 inch thick
1 tsp. Vege-sal or slightly less than 1 tsp. salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 tsp. Penzeys Pork Chop Seasoning (optional, contains salt, hickory smoke, garlic, onion, white pepper, and ginger)
2 T olive oil
2/3 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tsp. sugar
Trim fat from pork chops, and pound each chop to 3/4 inch thickness. Season chops on both sides with Vege-sal or salt, pepper, and pork chop seasoning if using.
Heat pan 1 minute, add olive oil, heat one minute more, then add pork chops and cook over medium high heat until well browned on both sides and cooked through, about 5 minutes total. Remove pork chops to plate, lower heat slightly, and add vinegar and sugar and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Put pork chops back into pan with any liquid which has collected on plate, and cook about 4 minutes, turning several times to glaze pork chops with sauce. Serve hot, with sauce poured over.
This would be a great dish for any phase of the South Beach Diet. It would taste great with Cauliflower Fried in Butter or Stir-Fried Bok Choy with Hoisin Sauce. For a more substantial meal you could add a side dish like Barley with Dried and Fresh Mushrooms.

Metroid Other M Wii User Review
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
This is a continuation of the Metroid series published by Tecmos in conjunction with Nintendo. The game is made to use exclusively Wii remote and is a third person scrolling camera with a feeling of the old Metroid experience. There is a Dynamic 3D camera, and a good focus on the camera style of storytelling. The controls in this game are straightforward that makes the game more playable, this is however a hardcore gamers experience.
When the game begins, we find the main character from previous titles, Samus the Hunter, battling with Mother Brain, carying on where Super Metroid left off with the baby Metroid having sacrificed itself to save the hunter and help her conquer the monster. The game is produced on an epic scale. Unlike in the other games in the series Samus, who has been quiet in all the previous games, now has a voice. Her character here is more human like with her here having a personality and emotions and you connect with her from the first moment she speaks.
The game turns around a mysterious situatiuon aboard Bottle Ship which is a decommissioned space station. Samus sets about doing her investigations and she is met by soldiers of the Galatic Federation, whose leader is familiar to her from her past. Basically the game dwells too much on Samus past and her relationship with the space station commanding officer Adam. Throughout the story you are exposed to her emotions, not my favorite aspect of the game. The game which lasts for about ten hours and more than half of that time is spent watching cut scenes.
In the game there are times you will have to jump into the first person mode, to target enemies. The way of jumping from first person to third person is by forward and backward movements when you use the Wii pointer function.
There are incentives which will keep you going, there are hidden items and extra pick-ups and the skill required to get them makes the game satisfying and gratifying. The game has an engaging story that Nintendo has so perfectly put together. Better than many

National Children's Study
Source: CDC.
National Children's Study
Infant. The Division of Laboratory Sciences (DLS) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)'s National Center for Environmental Health is collaborating with the National Institute of Child Health and Development (NICHD) on the National Children's Study. This study is the largest ever undertaken to assess the effects of the environment on child and adult health. This nationwide study follows a representative sample of children from early life through adulthood and seeks information to prevent and treat health problems such as autism, birth defects, diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.
The National Children's Study will specifically examine the effects of various environmental influences on the health and development of 100,000 children across the United States, following them from before birth until age 21. The study broadly defines environment and will consider several issues, such as
- natural and man-made environmental factors;
- biological and chemical factors;
- physical surroundings;
- social factors;
- behavioral influences and outcomes;
- genetics;
- cultural and family influences and differences; and
- geographic locations.
Congress authorized the National Children's Study with the passage of the Children's Health Act of 2000. In addition to NICHD, a consortium, including CDC, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is leading the study.
Pilot Study
For at least three decades, scientists within DLS have been determining which environmental chemicals people have been exposed to and the amount of those chemicals in their bodies. This technique is known as biomonitoring. Biomonitoring measurements are the most health-relevant assessments of exposure because they measure the amount of chemicals that actually enter people's bodies, not the amount that may enter.
Currently, research conducted by DLS and published in CDC's National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals, provides biomonitoring data for chemicals in urine only for children aged 6 years and older. For chemicals in blood or serum only, data are available for children aged 12 years and older, with the exceptions of lead, cadmium, mercury (age 1 year and older), and cotinine (age 3 years and older). DLS found that the concentrations of many of these chemicals were highest in the youngest age groups that were examined. For children age 5 years and younger, minimal information exists on exposure to priority environmental chemicals, and this lack of information is a major gap in protecting children from harmful exposures.
Pregnant Woman.
DLS will lend its analytical and biomonitoring expertise to a pilot study for the National Children's Study. Scientists will analyze samples of blood, breast milk, and urine from 525 pregnant mothers and from their infants after birth for more than 100 environmental chemicals and nutritional indicators. Samples will be collected from seven study centers, also known as vanguard centers, established by NICHD. The data from this pilot study will provide important exposure information on young children. Vanguard centers are currently recruiting and enrolling participants. Sample collection began in summer 2009.

Cataloging and Metadata
Comprehensive services that work together to improve results
Find the right cataloging service for your library
OCLC WorldShare Metadata
WorldShare Metadata provides your library with a complete metadata management solution for physical, licensed and digital resources across multiple formats. This set of new applications and services helps libraries address their priorities to achieve greater efficiencies in their workflows and better visibility for their collections. WorldShare Metadata will continue to expand in phases over the next few years. This new functionality supports OCLC's strategy to provide Webscale solutions to the full range of library management needs, including acquisitions, license management, resource sharing and discovery.
WorldShare Metadata works with WMS, alternative cloud-based services, and traditional integrated library systems. For libraries using WorldShare Management Services, WorldShare Metadata can fully integrate these functions in the same staff interface, significantly improving efficiency for "back office" operations.

"WorldCat embodies the best values of our profession: free access to a global network of information and knowledge unencumbered by politics, national borders or cultural divisions. Other professions can only dream about the kind of global cooperation and access that WorldCat represents."
John F. Szabo, City Librarian,
Los Angeles Public Library
The commitment of librarians to cooperation and resource sharing is one of the greatest strengths of the profession
Members use OCLC cataloging and metadata services, which are based on WorldCat, to extend and enhance the power of library cooperation. By being a part of this global community, you are building and enhancing an international, Webscale resource for the library world that will help your users find information they need and increase the productivity of your staff.
Working together creates efficiencies for all
Thanks to the ongoing work of dedicated OCLC member catalogers, WorldCat provides the most valuable data to keep collection information accurate. The need for original cataloging is minimized, and authority work is streamlined by automatic updating of controlled headings. Your technical processing will be faster and more accurate as members share the effort to create and maintain metadata for print, electronic and digital collections.
The cooperative's adherence to standards and principles underpin WorldCat and OCLC Cataloging services, making them two of the most trusted and valued resources in the library community. In addition, a dedicated staff of cataloging experts and researchers are constantly enhancing WorldCat-based services to keep members on the edge of innovation, and to help libraries advance and adapt in changing times.
We can work with you to determine the best mix of services based on your workflow.

Kinkaku (金角, Kinkaku) was one of Kumogakure's infamous Gold and Silver Brothers alongside his brother Ginkaku.
The Gold and Silver Brothers are the most notorious criminals in the history of Kumogakure.[2] Once, they were assigned to capture the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, but were swallowed whole.[2] However, they survived, and thrashed inside the tailed beast's stomach for two weeks, eventually forcing the Nine-Tails to regurgitate them. While in its stomach, they survived by eating the flesh of the beast. An elderly Kumo-nin noted that when the fox finally regurgitated the brothers, they both came out looking like miniature versions of the beast due to having acquired a portion of the fox's chakra.[3] During a peace treaty ceremony between Konohagakure's Second Hokage and Kumogakure's Second Raikage, the brothers staged a coup d'état that left the Hokage on the brink of death.[2] At some point in his lifetime, he met Kakuzu.[4]
Kinkaku and his brother are considered disgraces to Kumogakure due to their underhanded natures. They use deceit and betrayal indiscriminately in battle and will even attack their own comrades.[5] He is also very prideful, and became angry when Darui chastised them, proposing to his brother that they decimate their opponent. One of the few things that Kinkaku did seem to care about was his brother's well-being. During their fight with Darui, Ginkaku was sucked into the Benihisago, and in response Kinkaku went into his Version 2 state out of rage.[6]
Kinkaku was a burly shinobi with a muscular build and towering stature. He had light-coloured eyes with dark-coloured sclera,[7] grey-toned skin (depicted as fair-coloured in the anime),[8] as well as long, blond hair with prominent dark tips, arranged in a style reminiscent of a Native American headdress. These features are accentuated by the presence of two distinctive horns that emerge from the abundant hair on his head, as well as a rectangular marking on his nose. Like Naruto Uzumaki, he had whisker-like marks on his face.
His typical attire comprises of a standard Kumogakure flak jacket that is black on the edges and worn over a purple, high-collared, sleeveless uniform. He wore a purple forehead protector and a pair of simple wrist-guards. The kanji for "gold" (金, kin) was tattooed upon the shoulder of his exposed left arm.
During their lifetime, Kinkaku and his brother were well known for their prowess, so much so that one Kumogakure shinobi trembled in fear when he saw them. Their presence provoked the Fourth Raikage enough that he nearly disregarded his duties as leader of the Allied Shinobi Forces in order to personally confront the pair. Kinkaku's power alone nearly demolished the entire First Division and inflicted massive casualties.[9] According to Ao, the brothers both possess enormous chakra reserves with traces of the Nine-Tails' chakra mixed in due to them being swallowed and regurgitated by the Nine-Tails after surviving two weeks inside its stomach.[10]
Treasured Tools
The brothers wielded the five Treasured Tools of the Sage of the Six Paths, all of which cost a large amount of chakra: enough to kill normal humans before they can utilise the tools properly. Therefore, Kinkaku is considered a weapon specialist. The brothers can use them due to the combination of their high chakra level and the Nine-Tails' chakra. By combining the Benihisago, Kōkinjō and Shichiseiken, they can capture their opponent's word soul (言霊, kotodama) and body, sealing them away for good. The Bashōsen allows them to create any of the five basic elements.[11]
Jinchūriki Transformations
Despite not being an actual jinchūriki, he had absorbed a large amount of the Nine-Tails' chakra and eaten some of its chakra flesh[12] while trapped in its stomach. He ate so much that he was able to at any time enter a six-tailed Version 2 form with one tail vastly longer and thicker than the others. Kinkaku also retains his consciousness, unlike Naruto, who lost to his bestial instincts in this form.[6]
In this form, Kinkaku is seen using his chakra tails to strike with great force and range, block a torrent of kunai with his tails, throw a giant rolling tank aside and easily break out of the Shadow Imitation Technique in seconds. In the anime, he emerged unharmed from a combined barrage of various elemental ninjutsu and also displayed great speed and strength, being able to cut down several allied shinobi in an instant along with destroying the platform they were standing on. However, despite its similarity to Naruto's higher forms, it seems to lack the corrosive chakra cloak that Naruto gains in Version 2 and beyond.[13][14]
Part II
Shinobi World War Arc
In preparation for the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kinkaku is reincarnated by Kabuto Yakushi to fight against the Allied Shinobi Forces. Emerging from the sea near the Land of Lightning's coast, alongside his brother and among the White Zetsu Army, the two engage the opposing First Division. Confronted by Darui, he recognises that he had inherited the Third Raikage's techniques, indicating to Kinkaku that he must be rather strong.
In response to Darui's remark, he says that, since time had passed, even those from Kumogakure had lost respect for them. After Atsui and Samui arrive, Kinkaku retrieves the Bashōsen and Shichiseiken from his mouth, giving the latter to his brother, whilst the Kōkinjō wraps around his arm. Hitting both siblings with the rope, he draws out their word souls, so that Ginkaku can curse them. Reading the special word from the thrown sword, Kinkaku burns Atsui's arm, which forces him to say his forbidden word, causing him to be sealed. While his brother takes Samui hostage, Kinkaku attempts to attack Darui, only to have his arm cut off. Darui then attacks both brothers, freeing Samui, but coming into contact with the rope around Kinkaku's severed arm, which Kinkaku had kicked. He then cuts Darui's word soul and Ginkaku records it.
When Darui mistakenly utters his taboo word, he was inadvertently able to change his most said word whilst being sucked into the Benihisago, cancelling the sealing, unbeknown to the brothers. Disarming Ginkaku and knocking him into Kinkaku, Darui then commandeers the other tools. Launching his blade at the latter, he deflects the sword, only to be struck by another bombardment. Darui uses this opportunity to curse and seal Ginkaku, causing Kinkaku to go berserk and enter into his six-tailed form.
Although Darui apologises for Ginkaku, Kinkaku wreaks havoc on the battlefield, killing many despite Chōza Akimichi's efforts. Observing the Kohaku no Jōhei in Darui's possession, he concludes that they were planning to seal him within it, before ambushing and almost killing Darui if not for Kitsuchi's strike. Deflecting a barrage of kunai, Kinkaku fails to see Chōji Akimichi's approach, but he repels his attack using strength alone. However, this was merely a distraction, so Shikamaru Nara could bind his shadow.
Breaking free with ease, Kinkaku is instead taken control of by Ino Yamanaka, when he tried to kill Shikamaru. Forcing him to respond to Darui's call, he begins to be drawn into the pot, just as Ino returns to her own body. As Kinkaku is being sealed, he laments how such fools could defeat him and his brother, but Darui retorts that even though gold and silver may shine brighter, a mass of copper coins can be worth more than one gold coin.
By nightfall, Tobi arrived at the battlefield and took both the Benihisago and Kohaku no Jōhei, each containing one of the brothers inside, intending to use their Nine-Tails chakra to help enact his Eye of the Moon Plan. During the fight between Tobi and Naruto, Tobi decided to move ahead with his plans and tossed the Kohaku no Jōhei with Kinkaku still inside the pot into the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
- "Kinkaku" (金角, Kinkaku) literally means "Golden Horn", and shares the same name as the Kinkaku Force, suggesting that Kinkaku was possibly its leader.
- Both Kinkaku and his brother are likely based on two characters from the Chinese classic "Journey to the West". In this story, Kinkaku and Ginkaku are two demon king brothers, known as the Great King Kinkaku (金角大王, Kinkaku-daiō) and the Great King Ginkaku (銀角大王, Ginkaku-daiō).
- Due to the brothers' ability to assimilate the Nine-Tails' chakra by eating its flesh, the Fourth Raikage suspected them to be distantly related to the Sage of the Six Paths.[13]
- When Kinkaku débuted in the anime, he was depicted without the plating on his nose seen in the manga.
- Kinkaku and Ginkaku are also temples in Kyōto, Japan. The Temple of the Gold Pavilion is called Kinkaku and the Temple of the Silver Pavilion is called Ginkaku.
- In Naruto: Shippūden episode 269, Kinkaku and his brother Ginkaku were both seen with whisker-like marks on their faces before they were even consumed by Kurama.
- (To Darui) "Like they always say, 'silence is golden'. Words are the true source of all the world's ills… right Ginkaku?"[15]

About 40 leaders of immigration reform advocacy organizations were arrested Thursday, August 1, on Capitol Hill. The group was there as part of a protest aimed at pressuring the House GOP into passing an immigration reform bill with a pathway to citizenship. Taking a page from young undocumented immigrants, or Dreamers, nine of whom were arrested along the Arizona border last week, the veteran activists blocked traffic along a street adjacent to the Capitol while chanting a slogan popular among Dreamers: "Undocumented, unafraid!"
The action came a day before Congress members leave Washington, D.C. for their August recess. It kicked off a series of demonstrations, town hall meetings and events that are being planned by immigrant rights advocates during the month of August. The goal, according to Angela Kelley, vice president of immigration policy for the Washington, D.C.-based Center for American Progress, is to use the August recess to gain so much momentum in support of immigration reform that "when they come back, there's an air of inevitability" around settling the issue.

This is my blog of peace and enlightenment: comments of calm and contentment are welcome, so if you would just please pause for reflection and introspection hopefully comments of angst and ire will not be required.
If you have any verse, prose or aphorisms to help cope with the stresses and strains of life as an accountant; to promote a greater feeling of well being; and to help balance the yin with the yang, please share them here for all who seek nirvana, along with any links to calm and tranquil music and images.
So, as poignantly written by Rudyard Kipling between batches of Cherry Bakewells:
IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
Don't expect anything on this blog to be of any relevance to accountancy or business, as it won't be, other than to hopefully restore your Karma to balance allowing you to carry out your work in a more enlightened state.

Elizabeth Michael, better known in the local film industry as Lulu, a prime suspect in the death of famous film actor Steven Kanumba, appeared again in the Kisutu Resident Magistrates' Court yesterday under tight security.
The actor was brought to Kisutu court by a prisons bus with registration number STK 4310, escorted by two cars with registration number STK 4253 and STK 8901.
The actress, who adorned a pink dress, was escorted to the courtroom at around 9.06 am by six women prison wardens.
Before the court session started counsel Kennedy Fungamtama introduced himself and his fellow counsel Peter Kibatala and Fulgence Massawe as Lulu's defence team.
He also said that there would be another lawyer, Joaquine De Mello, a commissioner from the Human Rights and Good Governance Commission, to beef up the defence team.
The prosecution led by State Attorney Elizabeth Kaganda told the court that investigations were not yet complete.
The case was adjourned by Resident Magistrate Ritha Tarimo to May 7, this year, for another mention because Resident Magistrate Augustina Mmbando, who is presiding over the case was attending a seminar.
Lulu broke into sobs as she entered the courtroom after seeing the huge crowd pushing for space in the courtroom.
The prosecution told Magistrate Ritha Tarimo that the accused entered the courtroom without enough security and requested the court to order the police to remove all the people outside the courtroom so that the accused could be taken away.
According to the charge sheet, the accused committed the offence on April 7 at Sinza Vatican in Kinondoni district in the city.
The accused, who earlier submitted that she was 17 years old and not 18 as per the charge sheet, was not allowed to enter any plea because murder cases are normally dealt with by the High Court.

At a news conference today, Republican leaders defended the record of the GOP-dominated Legislature this past session in the wake of criticism from Democrats.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ Maine Republican legislative leaders say they kept faith with voters through accomplishments they shepherded through the Legislature earlier this year.
At a news conference today, the GOP leaders sought to counter a "spin'' they say minority Democrats are putting on the last session as the two parties tangle for control of the House and Senate.
Democrats aim much of their criticism at Republican Gov. Paul LePage, saying he pushed through tax cuts for the rich, cut funding for health care and worked to increase profits for insurance companies.
Republicans said they led efforts to reduce taxes, reduce debt in the pension system, make insurance more affordable and ease onerous regulations. And Senate President Kevin Raye says many of the accomplishments were done with Democratic cooperation.
Democrats have a different view. In a statement from legislative Democrats, Assistant Democratic Leader Justin Alfond, of Portland, says Republicans are "running from their record."
"The fact is that their policies and priorities have made it harder to live, work, and invest in Maine," Alfond says. "Political theater won't change the fact that too many Mainers are still out of work and that while the rest of the country has figured out ways to emerge from the recession, Maine's economy has shrunk."
House Democratic Leader Emily Cain says GOP-sponsored policies have hurt Maine's middle class. "No number of press conferences or glossy reports from the GOP will change the impact Maine people are feeling," Cain says in the same statement. "Their health care costs are going up, their property taxes are going up, and more and more people are working harder and harder for less and less."

AllThingsD wrote that sales of the BlackBerry Z10 (Nasdaq: BBRY) were better than expected.

Just me being confused and all. And politics. And Pit Bulls. And a couple of babies.
Very well said. The internet is certainly a happier place today with the birth of that beautiful child.
Now those double luge guys won't have to worry about popping out a baby without really trying do they?
congratulations. Beautiful kid.
I'm a little bit confused (especially about the double luge thing), but it's Xbox4Nappy who is to be congratulated, right? Your baby is has yet to make an entrance?
James, yes yes.
SJ, that's why the luge track is also called The Love Canal.
Dave, oh thanks. But she's not mine. My girl will be just as cute, though.
Jill, they say "Any day now." Which means it's a great time for us to embark on a major construction project. Hooray for planning!
Heh, it's weird seeing her pop up in other places.
Cheers man, we're delighted.
Xbox, you're lucky she's cute!
Congratulations...daughters are a whole different story.
Any day!!! how exciting!!!
I am a bit disturbed by the double luge thing. If I were more mature I wouldn't laugh when I saw the image of that sport.
JK, thanks. But I don't get the congratulations yet. Soon.
Sebastien, yep yep. Almost there. I even bought a new camera! And as for the luge, I would have looked the other way if they weren't wearing these tights.
You're right. The curling women are cute.
Women just look great sweeping the floor.

Because nobody else has, and people do want to know their flavor texts. Here is a list of them that I made, however 4 of them are missing due to me not owning those 4.
Edit: Thanks to Ruki Nephtem, and Strategist's Intuition was added, and thanks to Nitrodino for Verlaat and Myuland.
Silver Sun Emperor/ Verlaat: "Everlasting peace... I'd become a demon king and a god of destruction, in order to create that."
King of the Solar Kingdom, and the hero who ended the War of the Sun and Moon. Since then, he's been working toward peace for Lavato. He took the title 'Silver Sun Emperor', and fought the enemy of all life, the Cursed Legions. His title means he will provide everlasting peace as an 'eternal sun.' But historians would say his intentions lay elsewhere.
Traitor to God/ Leicester: "I may have turned my back on your god, but I'm not alone."
After the War of the Sun and Moon, the True God Church initiated an unprecedented religious suppression, and smaller religions were snuffed out. Many priests spoke out against this change to the order, but they were named traitors. Leicester is uniting those working to restore the Church. However, he's unaware of the depth of its darkness.
Guardian Captain/ Darius: "All Guardian Knights! Give everything you have for King Verlaat, the bringer of peace to this world!"
The new leader of the Folrart Guardians, the vanguard in the fight against the Cursed Legions. He was a rookie at the end of the War of the Sun and Moon. The purpose of the Guardians was to defend the capital, but with provincial towns in trouble, Guardians have taken to the front, and the capital has been left to the Royal Guard.
Final Traveler/ Arius: "Those old creeps in the True God Church are pushing too hard, making too many waves. But then, that makes things interesting for us…"
A swordsman who joined the Royal Guard recently. He uses a mysterious sword—a memento of his father—and fights like a master. The truth is he's traveled the world since a young age with nothing but this sword, and knows many secret techniques. He seems to know more then he should, and the other Royal Knights are wary of him.
Divine Impact: "Begone, you who menace the world."
A technique used by the Psycho Soldiers, manmade Psychokinetic troops. It was part of the curriculum co-authored by the True God Church and the Divine Power Institute. It delivers a shock wave at a target in visual range through simple focusing of awareness. Its might increases in proportion to the user's powers of concentration.
Folrart Tower Shield Soldier: "Commander Darias' orders are to protect our charge to the last man! Give it your all!"
A force newly expanded by Darius, leader of the Solar Kingdom's Guardian Knights. They are masters of utilizing the heaviest armors and shields, and are trained to protect all manner of important people and positions on the field of battle. Their impregnable defense has successfully saved countless lives.
Folrart Psycho Shield Soldier: "If you want an endurance contest against my shield, I won't stop you… but it'll only wear you out."
One of the current Solar Kingdom's Military divisions that uses Psychokinetics. They're a collaboration between the True God Church and Divine Power Institute—currently under the guidance of a strategist known as the Light of the Silver Sun. Psychokinetics is easy for war orphans to master. These soldiers generate an invisible wall that intercepts attacks.
Lion Greatsword Wielder: "Lions are the noblest and the most ferocious."
A member of the Barbarians, a mighty force in the deep south of the central continent, on which the Solar Kingdom and the Dutchy of Crest are located to the north. The Barbarians are made of tribes of subhumans—half man half beast. This tribe boasts huge physiques, and they handle large weapons with ease. They also act with dauntless courage at all times.
Forced Conversion: "You ask what separates gods and demons? That's simple. Ours is the one absolute god, and all the rest are demons."
After the War of the Sun and Moon, the True God Church began proselytizing in the small nations under the protection of the Solar Kingdom. However, soon its proselytization activities came to border on invasion. As a result of this conversion, many relics and sacred places of precious cultural value were destroyed.
Church Nun: "Even if the times have changed, and justice has been perverted, belief in the True God, at least, remains the same."
A nun of the True God Church, who prays to the True God. After the War of the Sun and Moon ended, some of the church's clergy extended their influence akin to the aristocracy, thereby harassing their own adherents. Most of the nuns who wanted to help the needy were said to be troubled by such faithlessness.
Knight of the Church: "Perish in the name of the god of the True God Church, heathens!"
The True God Church began to maintain its own forces after the War of the Sun and Moon ended. It's said the knights of the Church would follow the bands of priests who proselytized in neighboring countries, and carry out enlightenment campaigns.
Folrart Psycho Teleporter: "I wonder if that attack will manage to hit me."
One of the current Solar Kingdom's military divisions, the Psycho Soldiers, who manipulate Psychokinetics. She developed her powers by following the Divine Power Institute's curriculum. Many things are unknown about Psychokinetics, but the powers acquired differs according to gender. Only women can learn to compress space for teleportation.
Light of the True God: "Lord I thank thee for imparting power unto me."
One of the magic spells used by priests of the True God Church. Its light gives vitality to those who believe in the True God.
Grand Duke/ Myuland: "Ready a top intelligence operative immediately! I believe in Princess Eskatia, but if this information is true..."
The current grand duke of Crest. He was Eskatia's spymaster, When she married into the Solar Kingdom, Eskatia recommended Myuland to replace her because of his grasp of politics. He's been dealing with restoration of order and information warfare with other nations. But when he learns via personal channels about a new threat, even he is surprised...
General of Crest/ Yug: "Come, come, come, foolish pitiful puppets! Let my attack send you straight to heaven!"
The present high commander of Crest's army, now that Dical is dead. Along with the position, he inherited Dical's alias, the Dark Centaur. He's on a friendly basis with Verlaat with whom he fought in the War of the Sun and Moon. When folrart entered combat against the Cursed Legions, Grand Duke Myuland granted him permission to go with the reinforcements.
Keeper of Filth/ Garyis: "Heheheh… So many souls…"
One of the high-ranking dead called the Seven leaders. Those who see her naked eye have their souls drawn out. She didn't participate in the War of the Sun and Moon, not because she disobeyed Zugateroza, but because she personally refused to work with the living. The number of soldiers who'be lost their lives to her has climbed into the thousands.
Combat Ogre/ Gandar: "Weak! So friggin' weak! Come on, isn't there anybody left since the War of the Sun and Moon who can give me a thrill?"
A member of Lavato's rare Oni race. With an exceedingly violent personality, his favorite things are fighting, conflict, and war. When he learned a major war had broken out between the Solar Kingdom and the Cursed Legions, he initially fought as a mercenary against the Cursed Legions.
Vision of Horror: "There are things in this world you mustn't see. Gyah ha ha ha ha, but it's human nature to want to see them!" –Nephtem
One of the black arts used by Nephtem, member of the Seven Lords. Once someone's attention is focused on her mouth on her hand, she searches their mind, then inserts an image of whatever it is they dread most. It doesn't take long for those ensnared by the spell to go irrevocably insane.
Crest Agent: "The Dutchy of Crest once menaced the world, and those who think it's lost it's power are fools. They've elected to work behind the scenes."
An assassin from the Dutch of Crest's intelligence agency. Assassins trained by the agency killed many important people during the War of the Sun and Moon, plunging the world into chaos. Now they function as a secret police, protecting world peace by covertly disposing of individuals such as crime syndicate leaders and rabble rousers.
Crest Shadowmage: "Hmhm… You're in for trouble if you don't take me seriously."
A mage who uses spells with a shadow as a medium. She can change her own shadow into a living creature and make it fight, or contain her opponent by rendering his shadow immobile.
Horseman of Pain: "If you hear a clip-clop sound, hide under some handy corpses and cover your mouth and nose. If you don't you'll end up like me…"

Sworn Avenger/ Henrietta: "The Solar Kingdom… The land governed by the Silver Sun Emperor. So, that's where I need to go to find my revenge."
A famous wandering lady mercenary. She's also feared as the Red-haired Demon. The reason she became a mercenary is to get revenge on whoever killed her adoptive father.

A dragon said to appear before the wise and predict future events, prior to great upheabals affecting all of Lavato.

Spell Blader: "I'll give you a look at the power hidden within my body!"
A swordswoman who's mastered enchanting spells. Originally it was an magic form for injecting magic power into the runes etched into weapons, but this swordswoman applies the enchanted seals to her own body, enhancing her physical abilities.

A mech soldier developed specifically by the wizard kingdom.

This is the first of them developed, but its functionality is high.
Regus Aeromancer: "For me, the wind is near and dear to my heart."
A spirit summoner of the Wizard Kingdom. To summon sylphs, the contract holder creates a special magic symbol. Those with limited experience can only summon using pre-prepared symbols on the floor, but with ample experience it becomes possible for a caster to draw the symbol in midair quickly enough to summon during combat.

After attending the Michigan Nonprofit Association's Nonprofit Day 2011, I found out that, yes nonprofits can lobby. According to the IRS, 501(c)(3) corporations are allowed to lobby as long as they follow their rules and fill out the proper forms. The IRS defines lobbying as attempting to influence legislation by contacting, or encouraging the public to contact, members of a legislative body for purposes of supporting/opposing/proposing legislation. The major rule is that nonprofits cannot spend a "substantial amount" of their budget on lobbying. For a clearer explanation of what the IRS considers to be a "substantial amount," check out Measuring Lobbying Activity: Expenditure Test. Charity Lawyers Blog post titled, Lobbying-Yes You Can! clarifies in layman's, terms what is and is not lobbying, as well as explaining the 501(h) election.
According to the IRS, qualifying organizations may file a special election under 501(h) of the Code, or Election/Revocation of Election by an Eligible Section 501(c)(3) Organization To Make Expenditures To Influence Legislation (501(H) Election), to allow them to spend up to a specified dollar amount for lobbying without fear of adverse tax consequence from such activities. The IRS and Michigan Nonprofit Association advise nonprofits to file the 501(h) election if they are planning on doing any lobbying, as well as tracking all expenditures. 'Direct' and 'Grassroots' lobbying must be tracked separately as they have separate expenditure limits.
IRS Definition of Direct & Grassroots Lobbying
IRS Schedule C Political Campaign and Lobbying Activities
IRS General Instructions for Filing Schedule C for Lobbying Activity
Excessive lobbying activities over a four-year period may cause a nonprofit to lose its tax-exempt status, making all of its income for that period subject to tax.
For questions on how to use communication channels such as your website, email, and social media channels for lobbying, Alliance for Justice is offering a free downloadable copy of Influencing Public Policy In The Digital Age: The Law of Online Lobbying and Election-related Activities. The guide is intended to inform 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) organizations on how to stay within the law and encourage participation in the nation's democratic process using technology.
Consult your attorney and the IRS Charities/Nonprofits webpage for more information on how nonprofits can lobby for their cause. Other helpful resources are the IRS eNews: Exempt Organization Update and Center for Lobbying in the Public Interest website. ONEplace will be hosting a webinar November 15 titled Lobbying Rules for Nonprofits presented by Alliance for Justice. Register online soon as we anticipate seats will go fast!

Thirty-two-year-old Kenneth Grauman and 23-year-old Gregory Bradshaw escaped September 29 from the minimum security Lake County Residential Reentry Program in Baldwin.
The Marshals Service says the men repeatedly dodged police in Michigan and are suspected in "numerous home invasions and at least one stolen vehicle in Allegan County."

The Marshals Service says a Pueblo, Colo., SWAT team arrested the men without incident Thursday afternoon. The men are jailed awaiting extradition to Michigan.
It says authorities also took into custody the men's companions, Laura Grauman and Brittany Rector.
