Sex, Politics, and Religion: The Clash between Poland and the European Union over Abortion
Czerwinski, Alicia, Denver Journal of International Law and Policy
Poland's anti-abortion law is one of Europe's most stringent. (1) Given the European Union's (EU) pro-choice legislation, Poland's recent accession into the EU in spring 2004 (2) will likely cast its abortion law into the spotlight. The following account foreshadows this clash.
In June 2003, Polish protestors greeted the Dutch ship, "Women on Waves" with eggs and paint bombs, as it entered a Polish port. (3) Women on Waves is a mobile abortion clinic (4) that enters ports in countries that prohibit abortion, boards women, and sails to international waters where physicians perform abortions. (5) The ship typically travels into countries at the request of local women's organizations and gives women the option to receive safe, professional, and legal abortions. (6) Because Women on Waves sails under a Dutch flag, Dutch law, which permits abortion, applies. (7)
Polish women were to be the first group to receive abortions aboard the ship. (8) The ship previously entered an Irish harbor in 2001, but no abortions occurred aboard the ship because Women on Waves failed to obtain an abortion treatment permit. (9) Although a spokeswoman for Women on Waves failed to confirm whether any Polish women actually terminated a pregnancy aboard the ship, the event cast Poland's anti-abortion law into controversy. (10)
The arrival of Women on Waves in Polish port initiated a debate among Polish citizens that foreshadows the clash between Poland's strict anti-abortion law and the EU's pro-choice policy. Although Poland and the EU's abortion policies conflict, reconciliation is possible by including a Protocol to Poland's accession treaty that would guarantee Poland the right to assert its national abortion law over EU law. Reconciliation could also be achieved by asserting moral sovereignty, the use of the political process, including legislation, to make citizens "fundamentally better creatures." (11) However, after further analyzing the conflict and possible methods of reconciling Polish and EU law, this paper concludes that reconciliation would produce a devastating outcome by eroding democracy, women's fundamental rights, and gender equality; therefore, this paper prescribes that Poland adopt the EU's pro-choice policy. As a result of so doing, Polish women will have increased constitutional protections against gender discrimination, and increased protection of privacy. Furthermore, Poland will promote democracy within its borders, and those of the EU.
Section II of this paper examines Poland's tumultuous history. Specifically, this section explores: Poland's long ties to Christianity and the role the Catholic Church plays in Poland; the history of Poland's abortion law under communism and democracy; and Poland's accession into the EU. In Section III, this paper discusses the legal effect of the EU's pro-choice policy. This section demonstrates that although the EU's policy is non-binding, Poland would be bound to adopt the EU's policy as community law through the European Court of Justice's (ECJ) interpretation of case law. Section IV explores how Poland and the EU can reconcile their conflicting viewpoints regarding abortion. Poland can maintain its abortion law by following Ireland and Malta's example of adopting a protocol to its accession treaty. Poland can also exercise its abortion law under the principle of moral sovereignty. Alternatively as already stated above, this paper suggests in Section V and concludes in Section VI by recommending that Poland adopt the EU's pro-choice policy given the devastating effects the current anti-abortion law has on democracy, women's fundamental rights, and gender equality.
In order to understand the conflict between Poland and the EU's abortion laws, it is necessary to first examine Poland's Catholic history and the history of Poland's abortion law.
A. Poland's Catholic History
Poland originated in the 10th century. …

UPDATE: Two more fires were set last night. Details after the jump.
Flickr Someone is making it their mission to keep Greenwood ablaze.
Greenwood has a serial arsonist. Last night at 3:30 AM firefighters responded to a blaze on 85th St. The back deck of a small accounting firm had been set aflame. By the time it had been extinguished, another call came through. This time it was the Rosewood Guitar Shop only three blocks away.
All tolled, that brings the number of fires set in the last few months to seven. (See Phinneywood's map.) Including the three-alarm monster that claimed four shops on 85th St. two weeks ago and took 100 firefighters to tame.We've been critical of Greenwood residents in the past. Accusing them of having a quick trigger finger when it came to calling the cops.
But freaking out over seven fires in a couple months is entirely justified. It's an attack on the community. And the community is attacking back, organizing a meeting between the local Chamber of Commerce, Seattle police department's North Precinct and other neighborhood groups in an effort to do something about the blazes.
Seattle Fire Department spokeswoman Dana Vander Houwen said that investigators believe both of last night's fires were set by the same person. No word yet, however, on whether or not they're all related.
UPDATE: At 11 PM last night someone set two small fires behind a photo lab. Then again at 4 AM, the wall of restaurant Olive You was set ablaze.
In both cases, arson patrols were able to extinguish the fires before they spread to other businesses. But once again, the person responsible wasn't caught.
The toll of getting jolted awake by fire engines in the middle of the night seems to be catching up to the people of Greenwood. As Phinneywood tells it: "A woman walked by us crying. 'This just makes me so sad," she said. "It's like it's never going to end.'"

ALBUQUERQUE — Before Friday, the last time a Wagon Mound boys' basketball team hoisted a state championship trophy, the Four Seasons were topping the pop charts with their ode to "December 1963 (Oh What A Night)."
On Friday, the Trojans and longtime coach Bobby Clouthier might have been inspired to sing their own version of that happy tune.
ALBUQUERQUE — Justin Bustos launched his jump shot, this one from three-point territory on the far right corner, and watched it arc high in the air like so many thousands of others he'd put up over the years. The ball rotated rhythmically and sliced crisply into the middle of the hoop, pulling the nylon strings slightly taut. Nearby, a referee extended both arms to signal a three-point basket.
The buzzer sounded on the hallowed floor of The Pit.
A valiant 28-point, 14-rebound effort by Andrea Romero and a spirited comeback by the Mora Rangerettes weren't enough to get them past defending state champion Navajo Pine in the Class 2A girls' state tournament semifinals this past Thursday at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho.
Navajo Pine, the No. 6 seed and eventual state runner-up, outscored Mora 6-3 in overtime to pull off a 46-43 win, ending a historic Rangerettes season that saw them set a new school record for wins with 28 (with just three losses).

INDIANAPOLIS — Peyton Manning is getting an early glimpse into life as a free agent.
Hours after a tearful, trying farewell news conference in Indianapolis, Manning flew back to his home in Miami and was immediately peppered with questions about his next landing spot. He'd better get used to it. The scene is likely to play out at every destination he visits until he decides where to play next season.
Justin Bustos shredded the Shiprock Chieftains for three dozen points — including a whopping 16 in the first quarter alone — and led Robertson to a 95-63 triumph over Shiprock on Wednesday night at the Santa Ana Star Center in Rio Rancho.

A couple of consecutive three-pointers by Angel Valencia and a go-ahead bucket by Andrea Romero with just a couple seconds left propelled the Mora Rangerettes past a well-prepared Clayton team 47-45 in the quarterfinals of the Class 2A girls' state basketball tournament on Tuesday afternoon in Rio Rancho.
Falling behind by 14 points at halftime, the Robertson Lady Cardinals chopped all but five points off that lead late in the third quarter — only to see Santa Fe Indian pull away again.
The final result? The defending state champions broke free with a 68-47 win Tuesday night, eliminating Robertson from the Class 3A girls' state basketball tournament.

Anderson qualifies for NCAA Div. II championships
By: Matt Long Telegraph Sports Editor
Folsom High grad finds her niche with steeplechase
Courtney Anderson made a decision prior to her senior year in high school that has made a big impact on her life. In 2008 as she entered her senior year at Folsom High, Anderson, an up-and-coming hurdler on the track team, decided to run cross country to get in and stay in shape for the spring track season. When all was said and done, Anderson's foray into cross country has helped her become one of the top steeplechase athletes in the nation. On Friday, Anderson, a 20-year-old junior at Cal State Stanislaus, ran an automatic qualifying time in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the Stanford Invitational, which qualifies her for the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Pueblo, CO, in May. "I think in her first cross country meet she finished in 29 minutes and she thought she was going to die," then Folsom High cross country coach Dave Gregson said. "By the end of the year I think she was all-league and she did it all on heart." During her senior year Anderson and the cross country team competed in the Stanford Invitational and while there Anderson watched the steeplechase event and was intrigued. Gregson happened to approach Anderson with a thought. "Mr. Gregson said, 'You know, this could be your event,'" Anderson said. "My first thought was, 'You're crazy.' As we were leaving we met the America River College track coach, Jeanette Allred-Powless, and she used to be a steeplechaser and that's how I got started in it." Anderson said she fell in love with the event, a combination of distance running and hurdling, immediately. "I liked it because it was difficult and a lot of people don't like jumping over barriers, let alone into a water hazard," Anderson said. After two solid years at American River College, Anderson is now a scholarship athlete at Cal State Stanislaus and her coach, Diljeet Dosanjh Taylor, is thrilled to have her. "Courtney is one of most talented junior college transfers I've seen," Taylor said. "Just from last year to this year she's improved so much and that's not your normal progression. One of the reasons why she's improved by leaps and bounds is that she's so competitive. Courtney's mentally tough, physically fit and she has a lot of heart and when you combine that with her competitiveness, that's what makes her so good." In her first 3,000-meter steeplechase of the season, Anderson set the Cal State Stanislaus school record with a time of 10 minutes, 54.88 seconds that put her fifth in the nation at the Division II level. In her second race last Friday at the Stanford Invitational, the same event four years earlier that planted the seed that made her a steeplechaser, Anderson finished in 10 minutes, 32.82 seconds, topping the automatic qualifying time for the Division II national championships by more than two seconds. Anderson believed she could reach the qualifying time and she did. Prior to the meet Anderson said, "I ran 9:52 in a flat 3K with no barriers so if I keep the same pace I think I can do it." Now that's she's qualified for the national meet, Anderson has one other goal. "I want to be an All-American, which is a top-eight finish at nationals," Anderson said. Taylor added, "Courtney's got a great chance to do well."

Your basic starter for 10.
History and Functions
iChat is an Instant Message Application.
It has been around in one form or another since 2004.
Initially it could only connect to the AIM servers ( Apple had an agreement for Apple IDs ending in @mac.com (at the time) were also Valid AIM Screen Names. Later, with MobileMe being released, @me.com names also became valid)
iChat 2 essentially added Video and Audio chats. (This was free in Panther. There was a demo and a purchasable version before that)
At iChat 3 (Tiger) added Jabber accounts (These included GoogleTalk and Facebook IDs as well as Jabber IDs registered elsewhere)
Adds 3 and 4 way Video Chats and up to 10 people, including yourself for Audio Only chats
iChat 4 (Leopard) separates out a Googletalk Set up option in the Add Screen Name panel.
Add Video Effects and Backdrops (PCC computers can not play Backdrops).
Adds iChat Theatre and Screen Sharing.
Adds MobileMe (@me.com names as an option in setting up an account (Adding Screen Name as an iChat "Account") )
iChat 5 (Snow Leopard) changes the Add Buddy pane for the AIM Buddy lists. Before you had to list @mac.com and @me.com from MobileMe where as in iChat 5 they are added as their full name (firstname.lastname@example.com for instance)
There is little other changes at this time.
iChat 6 (Lion) again changes very little in layout and the way it works although it does add the ability to use a Yahoo ID in iChat.
Messages Beta is current at time of writing and is credited with being version 6.1.
It allows iMessages to be sent to Phones and iPads (iOS 5 devices) as well as working the same Buddy Lists as iChat.
For iMessage Contacts it will invoke the FaceTime App to enable Video to the Phone Number or Apple ID (which could be on a Phone or iPAd or to theFaceTime for Mac app)
iChat can send Text (IMs) to Buddies on a 1-1 basis or in Group Chats (Chatroom).
It can Send Files (iChat to iChat) and to some Applications on PCs and Macs (Web Browser Logins for some Accounts/IDs are more difficult).
These can include Pics-in-Chats where the pic in displayed In-line (It is scaleable on dragging the window bigger) and be "Saved" if dragged to the Desktop.
iChat can Save Text chats.
It can also do Audio Only chats and Video Chats and with some these can have mulitple people involved.
At iChat 4 (And after) you can alter the Video feed with Effects and Backdrops.
Also iChat Theater allows Documents from other apps to be the Video Feed (as in Keynote or Powerpoint Presentations) It can also access the iPhoto Library and do Slideshows.
What you need.
A Mac with a camera and Mic (Or access to those externally: Mac Pros and Mac Minis don't have cameras or Mics)
An Internet connection with at least 256kbps as both Upload and Download speeds for Video Chats on a 1-1 basis.
Good Lighting if using the camera.
A Screen Name or ID from either AIM or a valid Apple ID (Keep the password to 16 characters or Less as this is the AIM limit) or a Jabber ID from a Jabber server (or Google Talk or Facebook) or Yahoo (iChat 6).
This can depend mostly on what service your Buddies are using.
Apple IDs from iCloud will not work in iChat 5 or Lower.
This is because iChat 6 does a double Login to both AIM and Me.com.
The me.com login allows the AIM server to "See" the password and log the ID/Screen Name in to the AIM servers. iChat 5 and earlier do not make this me.com login so the password cannot be verified.
Registering an @mac.com or iCloud @me.com name encourages your to make a Secure password and hints at longer ones
The AIM servers can only cope with passwords up to and including 16 characters.
You ideally need another email for Confirmation and Password recovery (you can use the same email as many times as you want to set up AIM names)
Don't skimp on setting up the security questions for Password recovery.
It can pay to Screen Shot the page and send that to yourself in an email just so you can remember what question it was at a much later date.
Used to be names issued with the .Mac service (Forerunner to MobileMe and iCloud) and now offered as an iChat name.
Keep Password to no more than 16 characters
You will need an Email.
This cannot be one already linked to an Apple ID (the @mac.com name is an Apple ID and you cannot create one Apple ID with another)
For this Reason the secondary Email can only be used Once.
MobileMe is being replaced by iCloud at this current time. (Older style @me.com names)
New names and iCloud ones also end @me.com.
As mention earlier these will not work in iChat 5 or earlier.
Again the password cannot exceed 16 chararcters.
The External (to Apple) email can only be used once.
You can link an existing Apple ID you have to an iCloud name.
You may have an iTunes Account based on your ISP email ID and you can link this to an iCloud ID
Jabber Accounts
If you already have a Google Mail ID then if you Enable "Talk" on your Google settings you will have an ID that can be used as a Jabber ID in iChat.
The process is similar for Facebook names once you have enabled "Chat" in your Facebook Settings.
Registering other Jabber names tends to take a 3rd party app.
This is because the registration process happens with those apps and not in a Web Browser On line (Jabber Australia is the one place I know is an exception other than Facebook or Google)
If you have not already got an ID or Name then register a name.
Open iChat.
In the Start up Screens enter the Screen Name or ID you set up.
Add Buddies to the List.
Start chatting:-
Text chats take a double click of the line the Buddy is On.
Video or Audio chat can be started by the green icon that shows (Highlight Buddy and use the icons at the Bottom of the Buddy list is one way to do Audio only if showing a Video icon.
Have fun.
10:04 PM Friday; March 30, 2012

You are a balloon-popping monkey!What's more satisfying than popping balloons? Try 50 levels of balloon-popping fun as a dart-wielding monkey! Strategically aim, shoot, and pop your way through balloon configurations and obstacles.
1.Click Level 1's image to start. If you want to play with unlimited darts, click the Unlimited Darts mode box at the lower right first. Once in game, point to your darts and click to load.
2.Take aim and click to throw! To throw far, click and hold, then release. Pop the Target number to move up and unlock powerful balloons!
3.Replay any level that may bedevil, even go for that perfect score. But one fact remains: being a balloon-popping monkey is addictively fun!
Tips and Strategies
· When starting out, try a few levels in Unlimited Dart mode in order to get up to speed. After all, you may be a dart-wielding monkey, but you're no monkey!
· Also when starting out, play around and get comfortable with throwing darts. Get used to aiming as well as adjusting the reach of your throw using your mouse. The more time you take before you release your click the more energy to your throw.
· Plan your popping. You're not racing against the clock, so take a moment at the start of each level to scan the layout. Always identify any balloons with special powers, and then go for those first.
· Each level has a Target number of balloons that must be popped before you can advance to the next. If you don't hit the Target, the level fails, but you can replay.
· Always note the number of darts you're allotted in each level and calculate how many balloons you want to or need to pop with each dart. After releasing a dart, see how you fared, and then strategize for the next dart as needed.

New York Legislature Approves 'Unprecedented' Furloughs
A first for state workers in the state.
Even though the state's Senate and Assembly majorities strongly oppose them, one-day furloughs for state workers have been approved by New York's legislature for the first time in the state's history, according to officials. Part of the emergency spending bill introduced by Gov. Paterson, the one-day-a-week furloughs for about 100,000 state workers (roughly half of New York's work force) will save the state about $30 million a week. Rejecting the furloughs - which couldn't be separated from the spending bill - would have resulted in the state government shutting down. Public employee unions maintain the furloughs would be illegal and said they plan to seek a temporary restraining order to block the plan.

Reply jeff June 6, 2012 @2Karate4yuASS, I agree with you on every word here. There is no way he should have a second shot @ Anderson and If he does win it will always be debatable! I hoe to see some harsh consequences applied by Anderson Silva As punishment to this guy. Like reconstructive face surgery. Reply Dan Blankenship June 6, 2012 Chael will work to take Silva down, and he is going to absorb some punishment. But in the end Chael will win.

One day they pass the test and next month they get caught up. So Chael says F*** it, I might as well play it safe and answer questions later. One thing for sure, in the long run roiders fall apart and weaken over time. So I expect to see Chael weaker and slower. As for Anderson he's been on top for decades and his physique definitely shows no signs of roiding. He's just a beast and I can bet my last dollar he's gonna slap Chael around like Griffin but finish him in impressive style like he did to Vitor and so many other great fighters! Don't be surprised if Silva catches Chael with a double pump flying knee!!

The only thing that works better than hammering the RFID chip on your passport to deter criminals from stealing your identity is to pick up the legal Pacsafe RFID Safe 50 Passport Protector. PacSafe designed this Passport Protector with smart material that blocks out the transmissions of your passport and credit cards via radio frequency id readers.

Piece of mind.
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I am not sure how prevalent RFID scanning con artists are, but I do not want to find out. We bought the Pacsafe RFID Passport Protector for our vacation to Thailand. It was big enough to hold four passports and our credit cards easily. The material is soft and it fits easily into most bags or purses. We bought ours in black and it does not look too flashy. Not sure if it has stopped any identity thieves, but we are glad to have it.
what size is it?

Register your nonprofit to participate in next year's Georgia Gives Day.
(Matt Haffner)
Founded in 2000, The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia (MOCA GA) is the only institution in the state to specifically support Georgia's contemporary artists and art. Not only is MOCA GA raising recognition of Georgia as a center for contemporary art and artists, we are building the only museum quality art collection comprised solely of work by Georgia's contemporary artists. This collection now includes more than 930 pieces representing 250 Georgia artists.
MOCA GA presents exhibitions and educational programming that offer meaningful arts experiences for its artists and the general public alike. Central to MOCA GA's mission is fostering an active interchange between artists and the community. Through a broad range of programs, the Museum seeks to make contemporary visual art more accessible by connecting diverse audiences to the local arts community to promote understanding, appreciation, and long-term interest in contemporary art.
The Museum has an ongoing exhibition schedule of historically based exhibits that interpret the state's art history for the general public. Exhibitions of note include: Selected Works: State of Georgia Art Collection, Within State Lines, and Georgia Masterpieces.
(Rocio Rodriguez, James Herbert) (Radcliffe Bailey)
MOCA GA's Working Artist Project is a program that is having a lasting impact on metropolitan Atlanta's artists, arts organizations, and the city as a whole in numerous ways. The program serves greater metropolitan Atlanta's artists through direct financial support, as well as the documentation, presentation, and preservation of their work while also developing a stronger arts community for future generations.
Most importantly, however, this program serves our city as a whole by enabling artists to live, work and thrive here. The Working Artist Project was developed, in part, in response to the great loss of some of Atlanta's most talented artists to cities such as New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago. It is our goal to encourage these artists to remain in our city, establishing Atlanta as one of the best cities for launching a viable career in the arts. As a result, this program will be instrumental in raising the recognition of metropolitan Atlanta as a cultural center that not only supports its own artists, but also draws artists from around the state, region, nation, and globe. MOCA GA has now granted the Working Artist Project award to eighteen artists, representing the best and the brightest that Atlanta has to offer.
(Gregor Turk) (Martha Whittington)
Additionally, the Museum's mission to document Georgia's contemporary artists and art history through the Museum's Education/Resource Center (E/RC) provides a vital service to the general public. The Center serves as a unique, centralized source for historical documents and archived materials that tell the story of contemporary art in Georgia, which is one of the state's richest and most diverse cultural assets. This year, MOCA GA is expanding the E/RC by an additional 7,000 square feet in order to increase public access to the Museum's pemanent collection, historical archives and art library. In many cases, were MOCA GA not preserving the state's history of contemporary visual art, important developments would be lost forever with each passing year.
Before MOCA GA, Georgia did not have a single facility that served as a resource for the state's contemporary visual art, artists and art history. MOCA GA has experienced phenomenal growth in its first eleven years, and we take great pride in our role in establishing an institution that fills a critical void within Georgia's cultural offerings.

2010 NBA Mock Draft
2011 NBA Mock Draft
A list of the top 2009 NBA Free Agent small forwards.
Ron Artest, Rockets (17.1 ppg, 5.2 rpg, 3.3 apg) Age: 29.
Signed with Lakers: 5 years, $34.5 million
Houston rolled the dice in acquiring Artest last off-season and the risk definitely paid dividends. Artest was first and foremost very well-behaved, showing that he has matured since his days of rushing into the stands and fighting fans. More importantly, he played a major role in the Rockets success, filling the void left behind by the injured T-Mac, and nearly leading Houston to a second round upset against the Lakers. With T-Mac completely unreliable health-wise and in the final year of his contract, the Rockets should do what they can to bring Artest back. The recent news of Yao's season-ending (possible career-ending) injury only adds to Houston's need for Artest to return.
Prediction: Re-signs 4-year, $42 million with Rockets
Hedo Turkoglu, Magic (16.8 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 4.9 apg) Age: 30.
Signed with Raptors: 5 years, $60 million
With his clutch play in the postseason, Turkoglu, as expected, opted out of his $7.3 million option for next season with hope of cashing in on a long-term deal. Orlando is in a bit of a bind since they have invested A LOT of money in Rashard Lewis and Dwight Howard through 2013, and just acquired another monster salary in Vince Carter. Will the Magic want to add another $10 million salary to their payroll? I doubt it.
Prediction: Signs 4 years, $39 million with Blazers
Al Harrington, Knicks (PO) (20.7 ppg, 6.3 rpg) Age: 29.
Exercised option; stayed with Knicks
Harrington would be pretty foolish to opt out of his $10 million deal for 2009-2010. He won't find near that amount on the open market and would be better off stomaching another year in New York and trying to cash in on a deal next offseason.
Prediction: Stays with Knicks
Lamar Odom, Lakers (11.3 ppg, 8.2 rpg, 2.6 apg) Age: 29.
Re-signed with Lakers (4 years, $33 million)
Despite being an important part of the Lakers' success the past couple seasons, Odom put up a career-low total in points per game, mainly because he lost his starting job to Luke Walton and Trevor Ariza. Ariza is also a free agent and it is unlikely that the Lake Show can afford to re-sign both players. What makes it more difficult is that the two free agents are different players. Odom is more of a point forward type player on offense who because of his 6-10 height, can play bigger on defense. I am guessing Ariza can be retained at a cheaper price and might be in better favor with Laker management. If the Lakers decide to stick with the younger Ariza, Odom's next-best option would be to sign a mid-level exception with a title contender.
Prediction: Re-signs 3-year, $24 million with Lakers
Marvin Williams, Hawks (RFA) (13.9 ppg, 6.3 rpg) Age: 22.
Re-signed with Hawks (5 years, $40 million)
Despite having to yet live up to the expectations of being the second overall pick in the 2005 Draft, you have to remember that Williams turns just 23 this off-season and has already played four years in the league. His qualifying offer with Atlanta would come in at about $7.3 million, but the Hawks have a tough decision to make. If they let Williams walk, they will be about $17 million under cap and could make a run at a true power forward which is what they really need. If Atlanta thinks Williams is an important long-term part of their future, they can match any long-term offer he gets.
Prediction: Accepts qualifying offer
Trevor Ariza, Lakers (8.9 ppg, 4.3 rpg) Age: 23.
Signed with Rockets (5 years, $33 million)
People didn't think much of the trade the Lakers made during last season when they dealt Maurice Evans and Brian Cook to Orlando for Ariza, but that acquisition has been a steal for L.A. Ariza has developed into a key role player for the Lakers, playing solid defense and not trying to do too much on the offensive end. As I stated above, it wouldn't surprise me to see L.A. try to keep Ariza instead of Odom. If he doesn't return to Hollywood, I would imagine several title contenders would be hot on his tail, offering up their full mid-level exception for his services.
Prediction: Re-signs 5-year, $28 with Lakers
Shawn Marion, Raptors (12.9 ppg, 8.5 rpg) Age: 31.
Traded to Mavericks
The Matrix misses Phoenix and Steve Nash worse than Britney Spears misses her innocence. Like Britney, Marion is a shadow of the player he was in his prime and likely won't receive an offer higher than the mid-level exception. He posted the worst numbers of his career since his rookie season and will likely have to accept a role coming off the bench. A team like the Mavs could use Marion as they try to make one last gasp with their aging nucleus.
Prediction: Signs 2-year, mid-level exception with Mavs
Josh Childress, Greece/Hawks (RFA) (8.8 ppg, 4.6 rpg) Age: 25.
Stayed with Greece
Childress is the wild card of this position. The Hawks still own his rights and have continued to scout him while he has been playing professionally in Greece. Atlanta would have to tender his qualifying offer or he would become an unrestricted free agent, IF he decides to opt of his contract in Greece and return to the NBA. With the increase in fan violence during his games in the Greek League (fans recently through flares at the opposing team's bench and lit a player's duffel bag on fire), rumors have began to gain steam that Childress is strongly considering a return to the States. It is unlikely the Hawks would match an offer for his services; they have a lot of players in free agency.
Prediction: Signs 4-year, mid-level exception with Clippers
Kyle Korver, Jazz (PO) (9.0 ppg, 3.1 rpg), Age: 25.
Exercised option; stayed with Jazz
It will certainly be an active offseason for the Jazz with Korver, Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur all having player options and Paul Millsap a restricted free agent. Korver has found his niche in the NBA as a long-range shooter. The former Creighton Blue Jay has a $5.1 million option that he could exercise with the Jazz this off-season. He has said that if there is interest from around the league, he would likely opt out of his deal. If that does happen, I find it hard to imagine a team would be willing to pay him more than the mid-level exception.
Prediction: Stays with Jazz
Linas Kleiza, Nuggets (RFA) (9.9 ppg, 4.0 rpg) Age: 24.
Signed with Greek Team (2 years)
Kleiza isn't your prototypical NBA small forward, but is effective in his role as a scorer off the bench. He is a threat from outside, but can also play down low when needed. Inconsistent production will hurt his chances of earning a long-term deal this offseason, but is worth more than the $2.7 million qualifying offer he is due this summer.
Prediction: Signs 4-year, $16 million extension with Nuggets
Other Notable Free Agent SFs:
Jamario Moon (Signed with Cavaliers)
, Joey Graham,
Grant Hill (Re-signed with Suns)
Desmond Mason (Signed with Kings)
Matt Barnes (Signed with Magic)
Rodney Carney (Signed with 76ers)

So, I have a really bad habit of liking the odd duck in the series. I guess alot of people really didn't like this title, but I guess being a kid who was really into history this just kinda came natural to me. Everyone I knew could beat Super Mario World, no one had ever beat Mario's Time Machine.
That being said, I'd probally hate it now.
I'm super looking forward to New Super Mario Bros U and 3D World. I really enjoyed New Super Mario Bros 2 for 3DS even if it was kinda an easy game. My all time favourite title though is 64. Though I never got a chance to sit down and beat Sunshine, Galaxy or Galaxy 2.

A Final Note: Keeping a Journal
A research journal is your space to record ideas in one single notebook or computer file.

"Manaus as a door to Amazonia" Manaus by faq
Manaus Travel Guide: 293 reviews and 811 photos
I've been in Manaus as a step in my trip to Amazonia. While in Manaus I've hired some local guided services outside the big crowded flows. We were 6 in our group and we mainly visited places around Manaus by boat. 2 Days to visit the city, for me were enough. I have to come back to Manaus.
Manaus is aparently a peacful city - some neighbourhoods are not advisable to walk around, but downtown Manaus is a pleasant place where you almost never get any annoyance from beggars or people at the street. If you are in any hotel outside the center of the city, just pick any taxi (ask by phone or ask the hotel staff to call the taxi) and the trip to downtown Manaus is cheap. Getting around downtown you can visit the "Mercado Minicipal" (the market), the Harbour - a floating dock - where the boats are always coming and going. You must visit the Opera and you must walk on the streets of Manaus where you can do shopping of some typical handcraft.
It's advisable to get a guide if you want to plan some boat trips on the Amazonas River - prepare your trip and take very clear what is included in the price you agree with your guide, so he doesn't charge you for water, food or anything you will need.

Local markets are always interesting and those of the Amazon region in particular. I very much enjoyed my visit of Ver-o-Peso market on the docks of Belém, where colours, smells and flavours are mixed together into varied and original scene.

With media polls showing approval ratings for the Cabinet falling from over 70 percent upon its inauguration four months ago to the lower 40 percent level, the administration of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe appears to be at a crossroads.
The plummeting popularity may be ascribed largely to failures in Abe's selection of Cabinet ministers and party executives. He appointed a number of his longtime friends as well as those who had contributed materially to his election as president of the Liberal Democratic Party. The prime minister's office and the Cabinet are packed with some of "the best students in class" who enjoy Abe's favor. There are no politicians in the true sense of the word.
Those failures in personnel selection are partly responsible for the problems involving Cabinet members and party officials. Health, Labor and Welfare Minister Ha-kuo Yanagisawa is under fire for describing women as "child-bearing machines" in a public speech. Others have also come under attack for making improper statements. Meanwhile, the minister for administrative reform has resigned over political funding irregularities.
Also to blame is the way Abe is handling his political agenda. His key policies lack appeal because he hasn't explained them in detail. The goals are clearly declared, but the steps to achieve them are absent. He is long on rhetoric and short on substance. Abe calls for constitutional reform, but it is unclear how he will deliver on that campaign promise — a factor that has contributed to his falling approval ratings.
The fact remains, though, that the transition from the Koizumi administration to the Abe administration represents a historic shift in Japanese politics.
The previous administration, which derived its strength largely from the personality of Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, pushed reforms in specific areas, such as the privatization of the postal services and the Japan Highway Public Corp. Koizumi practiced "theatrical politics," using grandiose political methods that appealed to popular sentiment.
By contrast, the Abe administration signifies a return to mainstream conservative politics, as shown by his unambiguous commitment to constitutional revision and education reform. Abe practices the "politics of the parliamentary Cabinet," centered on coordination and cooperation with the governing LDP.
Thus there are distinctive differences between Koizumi and Abe. If Koizumi was a presidential-type prime minister, Abe is a parliamentary Cabinet-type leader.
In the field of diplomacy, Koizumi created tensions with China and South Korea, and effectively closed the door to talks with their top leaders by making annual visits to Yasukuni Shrine.
Soon after taking office, Abe put the Yasukuni issue on the shelf, so to speak, and visited Beijing and Seoul, breaking the deadlock in Japan's relations with its Asian neighbors. In January, he attended the East Asia Summit in Cebu, Philippines, taking a major step toward the revival of Asian diplomacy. He also visited European countries, including Britain and France. In addition, he sent Foreign Minister Taro Aso to Central Asia.
Thus Abe has moved toward full-scale development of Japanese diplomacy, which had lost momentum under the Koizumi administration. Abe deserves much credit for taking the diplomatic initiative.
In the area of domestic policy, Abe pushed two long-pending bills through the Diet during an extraordinary session in December. One established the new Fundamental Law of Education; the other created the Defense Ministry by upgrading the Defense Agency. Both laws mark first steps toward the return of politics to the conservative mainstream.
Looking ahead, the foremost political question for the Abe administration is how to win July's Upper House election.
In the regular Diet session, which convened in late January, the opposition Democratic Party of Japan has seized the initiative by seizing on a verbal gaffe by a Cabinet minister. The DPJ is stepping up its attacks on the Abe administration over hot-button issues such as economic disparities in Japanese society — a "negative legacy" from the Koizumi administration. The largest opposition group is also taking the administration to task over the sharp fall in Cabinet approval ratings. A power struggle is developing in Japan's political world with a view to April's local elections and the upcoming Upper House poll.
It is too early to predict the outcome of the Upper House vote, however, it can be said that the election prospects allow no optimism for the Abe administration. The political situation will change greatly depending on the election outcome.
If the LDP and coalition partner Komeito retain their majority in the Upper House, internal rivalry schisms will appear in the DPJ — a development that could lead to the resignation of party president Ichiro Ozawa. If, on the other hand, the coalition loses its majority, the administration's political standing at home and abroad will decline significantly. But it is unlikely that Abe will be forced to resign because the ruling parties hold a majority in the Lower House. Moreover, behind-the-scenes moves concerning the next administration will intensify in the LDP.
Still, it is only four months since the Abe administration made its debut. Setbacks at the outset of an administration are not irreversible. What Abe should do now is add some color to the banner of mainstream conservative politics. He might be criticized as a "rightist" or a "nationalist," but unless he transcends such criticism, he won't be able to solidify the foundation of his administration. Underpinning his proposal to create a "beautiful Japan" are the historical and cultural traditions that form the basis of Japan's identity and the innovative spirit in which pioneers of old carried out the Taika Reform (645) and the Meiji Restoration (1868).
Abe hails from the western prefecture of Yamaguchi, which was formerly called "Choshu." The political history of modern Japan shows that men from Choshu achieved great things by virtue of perseverance. I strongly hope that Abe, a Choshu man who inherited this virtue, will come through the difficult political situation he faces today.

Down Under Rundown: Heat is on, Isner is out, Rafa is rolling
No. 13 seed John Isner suffered a knee injury and was forced to retire after just two sets in his opening-round match Tuesday. That and more of the best from Day Two at Melbourne Park.
We're back for Day Two at the Australian Open. Check out all the best from Melbourne Park with our Down Under Rundown.
It's getting hot in here
That blistering heat we were told to expect hit the players full force on Day 2. How hot was it? We'll let the players tell you. And for the record, it topped out at over 106 degrees.
Victoria Azarenka: "Like you're dancing in a frying pan."
#Dancevic: "I couldn't keep my balance anymore & I leaned over the fence. When I woke up people were all around me" pic.twitter.com/X9QAkBYNA9— Charlotte Ezdra (@Carla0786)
January 14, 2014
Frank Dancevic (who says he blacked out during his match): "I think it's definitely hazardous to be out there. It's dangerous."
Andy Murray is concerned that "something bad could happen to one of the players" if matches aren't suspended at #AusOpen due to extreme heat— BBC Sport (@BBCSport)

Sportsmanship isn't just for opponents. That's Daniel Gimeno-Traver helping a ball boy who collapsed #heat #AusOpen pic.twitter.com/hy9YaqXqiY— The Slice (@TheSliceTweets)
January 14, 2014
Dancevic again: "Having players with so many problems and complaining to the tournament that it's too hot to play, until somebody dies, they just keep going on with it and putting matches on in this heat."
Roger Federer: "It was very dry, just hot, stinging sort of sun."
Caroline Wozniacki: "I put the bottle down on the court and it started melting a little bit underneath, the plastic, so you knew it was warm."
At least Rafa's playing it cool
If you are going to play at the Australian Open over the next couple of days, better hope it's at night.
Not that it helped Bernard Tomic.
The temperatures dropped from the searing highs that had players complaining during the day, but Tomic couldn't take advantage due to a leg injury. He retired from his match against Rafael Nadal after dropping the first set 6-4, to a chorus of boos from the crowd.
So for those keeping score at home, not only did Rafa get to play in the cooler temps, he also got to call it a night early after what amounts to a practice session. That might pay off down the road during a grueling two weeks in the Australian sun.
How you doin'?

#Sharapova keeping her cool between games with an ice vest. #ausopen— Australian Open (@AustralianOpen)
January 14, 2014
Well, what do you know. It's time for the obligatory Maria Sharapova update.
The Russian star played the final match of the night, knocking off American Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-3, 6-4.
Sharapova also debuted a new dress for the occasion, along with sporting an ice vest during breaks to keep cool.
Welp. Go Serena, I guess?
It's a little early for absolutes, but one day after Venus Williams suffered a first-round defeat, the top American man in the draw -- No. 13 seed John Isner -- had a day to forget.
Isner was forced to retire with a foot injury after losing the first two sets to unheralded Martin Klizan of Slovakia. Isner actually led 4-0 in the second-set tiebreaker before losing his grasp and eventually throwing in the towel.
This isn't exactly stunning. Isner has never been past the fourth round at the Aussie and his one quarterfinal run at the 2011 US Open remains his greatest major result. Still ... top American ... out.
There are no other seeded American man. Serena, the No. 1 seed, and No. 13 Sloane Stephens are the only seeded American women.
Svetlana Kuznetsova had no answers in her first-round match.
Fan favorites Rog, Vika, Caro move on easily
That's one way to keep cool.
No. 2 seed Victoria Azarenka, the two-time defending champion in Melbourne, got through with relative ease in her opener Tuesday against Johanna Larsson of Sweden. Azarenka won 7-6 (2), 6-2.
Roger Federer got off to a typically solid start, dispatching local boy James Duckworth 6-4, 6-4, 6-2. He's the No. 6 seed, and it's still hard getting to used to him not being a favorite. For now, though, he looks like the Rog of old.
The future Mrs. Rory McIlroy, No. 10 seed Caroline Wozniacki, had even less trouble, ripping Lourdes Dominguez Lino of Spain 6-0, 6-2. A former world No. 1, Woz still has yet to win a major in her career.
Upset of the day
A No. 19 seed losing isn't exactly a huge upset, but it's about all we had -- outside of Isner -- on the second day of play. Svetlana Kuznetsova was sent packing by Elina Svitolina of the Ukraine, 6-3, 6-3.
Photo of the day
How hot was it Tuesday in Melbourne? Hot enough to want to jump in a fountain, even fully dressed.

Advice on base location and plan for Provence / Avignon
We only have about 2.5 days in the area. I know this won't do the area justice, but it's what we have to work with. :( The general plan is this: - Get into Avignon via TGV around noon - Get a hotel and then spend the rest of the day looking at sights in Avignon - Next day, rent a car and drive through Luberon towns, ending up in Aix-en-Provence, then back to Avignon for the night. - Next day, get to Arles (not sure if we should keep the car or take a bus, advice?) for market day, touring and hopefully attend bullfight at 5:30pm. Return to Avignon for the night - Next day, we fly out of Marseille at 3:30pm so we need to get there, maybe have lunch then to the airport. Would like any advice on whether this is a good plan, any suggestions places to hit in the Luberon, Aix, Arles, etc. And most importantly, if Avignon would make a good base for this and where we should stay in Avignon. - Near the TGV station seems souless, and quite far away from the main old city center, but that is also where the car rental seems to be. - Papal palace area for the character, but is hard to get out to the TGV station for the car.
- Maybe compromise at the Central station at the entrance to the city center?

Police seek bank robbery suspectMarch 22,2013
HARDWICK A Vermont police department said an arrest warrant has been issued for a Hardwick bank robbery suspect who is believed to be in Connecticut, where she is also suspected of a number of bank robberies.
Hardwick Police said the warrant for the arrest of 29-year-old Susan Braig was issued Thursday. She has not been taken into custody.
Hardwick Police Chief Aaron Cochran says Braig is suspected of robbing the Union Bank, on Route 15 last Sept. 6.
Cochran said he was contacted by the Connecticut State Police in January. A subsequent investigation led to the issuing of the Vermont arrest warrant.
Cochran said Braig lived for a time in Winooski, but she now lives in Connecticut. He did not know her hometown.MORE IN This Just In
