Eugene Delacroix (1798 – 1863) survived nearly burning to death, choking, drowning, poisoning and accidental self-hanging to become the leading painter of the French Romantic movement. Delacroix initially educated himself by copying the works of old masters in the Louvre. He later dedicated himself to epic, emotionally charged interpretations of scenes from literature, mythology, religion, politics and history, abounding in extraordinary colors. Delacroix painted murals for the king's chamber at the Palais Bourbon, the Louvre and the Museum of History at Versailles. Creating an astounding 9,000 artworks in his lifetime, he profoundly influenced Van Gogh, Renoir and Seurat.

on Sep. 04, 2013 :
What I've really loved about this trilogy is the unexpectedness of all. I'm not going to give anything away but the storyline never progressed as I thought it would and at the endof every book I was left desperate to know what happened next. The author is now working on some side stories for the main characters and I look forward to them being released. Thanks for a great read!!

National Science Foundation Research Experience: About Us
This is a program of field research in the Social Sciences. It is open to undergraduates in their junior and senior years; graduate students are ineligible. The eight-week program is comprised of: ten days of research preparation at Central Washington University, four weeks of research in Beijing and Xian, and two weeks of analysis, writing, and presentation at Central Washington University. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from Ellensburg Washington, for personal miscellaneous expenses, and application/processing fees. Costs of travel to and within China and residential costs at Central Washington University are covered by the sponsoring institutions.
Subject of Inquiry:
China has been undergoing intense transition and transformation since the late-l970s. Economic and population growth, industrialization, and urbanization all have had profound environmental impacts. This program will allow 15 high-quality undergraduates and a team of faculty mentors to undertake collaborative research on how economic development and societal change is impacting China's already precarious environmental position in two metropolitan centers, Beijing and Xian. The program will be conducted in conjunction with Shaanxi Normal University, Peking University, and the East-West Center, Honolulu, Hawaii.
The program's primary objective is to mentor students through the complete process of designing a research agenda and performing primary research in the social sciences at an international field site. Thus, the program will be characterized by a unique combination of close mentoring, multidisciplinary research, and international field experience with student teamwork. Moreover, as primary research in the social sciences becomes progressively multidisciplinary and transnational, researchers need to become cognizant of the demands of working across different disciplines and cultures. Therefore, scholars will also have the opportunity to work with a diverse group of American and Chinese researchers.
Costs of CWU-on-campus program components (including room and board, Seattle trips), transportation between Ellensburg and SeaTac airport, program travel to and from China and within China, and most room and board costs while in China are covered. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from Ellensburg, Washington. Miscellaneous expenses are the student's responsibility.
The program will have four phases:
Phase I: Selection of NSF Student Scholars
Participation is encouraged from academically motivated students in a diversity of fields, especially within the social sciences, environmental studies, and Asia/Pacific area studies. The group approach will be multi-disciplinary, essential for dealing with environmental change and mitigation. Students entering their junior and senior years are eligible. Graduate students are ineligible. Application review will begin on March 7, 2003.
Phase II: Pre-Trip Experience: Research Preparation and Topic Selection
From June 17 to June 26, NSF Student Scholars will enroll in a non-credit "China and the Environment" course at Central Washington University. Working with both CWU faculty/mentors and visiting East-West Center scholars, students will prepare for their Chinese field experience by learning about recent changes in China and the resulting environmental challenges. By the end of the period, each student research team will complete a preliminary literature review and develop a research proposal. Additional background lectures on Chinese politics and society, and ethics in science will be incorporated.
Phase III: Field Research in Beijing and Xian, China
The period from June 27 to July 28 will be divided between Beijing, the country's current capital and Xian, China's ancient capital. In both cities the program will be based at CWU-affiliated institutions (Shaanxi Normal University and Peking University). Campus lectures, on-site visits, interviews and other primary research in both cities will be facilitated by local interpreters. Students will also work closely with Chinese researchers and graduate students.
Phase IV: Back at CWU: Research Analysis and Writing Component
From July 28 to August 12, NSF Student Scholars will be resident in CWU campus housing. During this period scholars will meet regularly with mentors and will prepare final research reports. There will also be ample opportunity to travel to Seattle to both develop possible cross-cultural comparisons of green policies and programs, and to use the University of Washington's comprehensive East Asia Library.
Phases II and IV of the program will take place at the Ellensburg campus of Central Washington University. Located 105 miles east of Seattle in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, the community prides itself on quality living, and students experience a friendly and safe small-town atmosphere. This atmosphere is augmented by diverse cultural and social fare offered by the University, the city and our proximity to the Cascade Mountains, Seattle, Puget Sound, Yakima, the Yakima River Valley, Spokane, and the Columbia River recreational areas. The region offers a wide variety of exciting recreational opportunities.
The campus, an appealing mixture of traditional and modern architecture, consists of 83 mostly brick buildings, stretching across 380 acres of shaded lawns that are framed by evergreens, landscaped malls, and walks. A nationally renowned Japanese garden in the center of the grounds offers a serene refuge from campus bustle. The University is four blocks north of historic downtown Ellensburg, and shops and restaurants are within walking distance.
This program is open to university juniors and beginning seniors with cumulative GPA's of 3.0 or higher and who are US citizens or permanent residents. Majors in he Social Sciences, Environmental Studies, and Asia/Pacific Area Studies are sought. Selection will be competitive and some preference will be given to students who speak and read Mandarin (the ability to speak and read Mandarin is not required).

The cardigan in question.
All the talk about Kurt Cobain tributes this week got us thinking about songs that pay homage to the Nirvana great. There are quite a few out there. But musicians writing songs about other musicians have a long history-- "Sweet Home Alabama" is basically a dis track against Neil Young, for example. With all the casualties of the grunge scene, you could probably write a whole list of nothing but tributes, like Temple of the Dog's "Say Hello 2 Heaven," about Mother Love Bone's departed frontman Andrew Wood. Heck, according to Wikipedia, there are at least six songs in memory of Layne Staley of Alice in Chains. But that would get a bit tearful and gloomy. So without further ado, here are the 10 best songs by musicians about other musicians.
The cardigan in question.
10. Bikini Kill: "Thurston Hearts The Who"
Not that pleasant to listen to, but worth including because 1. It mentions two artists in one title. 2. Bikini Kill.
9. Drive-By Truckers: "George Jones Talkin' Cell Phone Blues"
Patterson Hood imagines what would happen if country great George Jones died in a car crash while talking on his cell phone. Yeah.
8. Beck: "Ozzy"
Ozzy ozzy ozzy ozzy ozzy ozzy . . . as one YouTube commenter put it, "Beck Sabbath"? Beck at his weird best.
7. Local H: "Eddie Vedder"
Infinitely more pleasant than listening to a Pearl Jam song. Also, what is with the '90s frontman obligatory middle-part?
6. Telekinesis: "50 Ways"
"Paul Simon probably said it the best--there truly are 50 ways" is a reference to the classic Simon song "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover."
5. The Pains of Being Pure at Heart: "Kurt Cobain's Cardigan"
The title of the song references the Nirvana singer's penchant for cardigan sweaters.
4. Television Personalities: "I Know Where Syd Barrett Lives"
Dan Treacy and company take on the subject of the Pink Floyd guitarist's mysterious disappearance. Barrett has also been mentioned in song by Robyn Hitchcock, The Trashcan Sinatras, and Kevin Ayers.
3. LCD Soundsystem: "Daft Punk Is Playing at My House"
"Daft Punk is playing at my house/everybody's PA is at my house." Even the video is a sendup of Spike Jonze's and Michel Gondry's music videos for Daft Punk's "Da Funk" and "Around the World."
2. Jonathan Richman: "Velvet Underground"
How in the world were they making that sound? Velvet Underground.
1. The Replacements: "Alex Chilton"
Paul Westerberg pays tribute to the great Big Star songwriter, Alex Chilton. Chilton actually played guitar on the song "Can't Hardly Wait" from the same album, 1987's Pleased to Meet Me.
The list goes on! What song would you include? Add it in the comments!

Denver's school board held an all-day training retreat last month but failed to follow the Colorado Open Records law that requires public bodies to post agendas before meetings.
The board holds retreats every year to discuss how it functions as well as review policies and procedures.
Last year, the seven-member elected board met with a marriage therapist at the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs in advance of the statewide meeting of the Colorado Association of School Boards.
This year's retreat was at the Balarat Outdoor Education Center on Aug. 23, a meeting that was posted on the board's Web-based meeting page. But the agenda wasn't posted until after the meeting, and no public discussion occurred about the meeting beforehand.
State law says the posting of a public meeting "shall include specific agenda information where possible."
Board president Nate Easley said the omission was his fault.
"Mark it up to a rookie mistake," he said. "I take full responsibility. There was nothing intentional about it."
Also, the meeting was not recorded, which typically occurs during Denver school board meetings.
The agenda, which was posted electronically to the board's Web-based meeting page Tuesday, shows the meeting's objective was "to strengthen the Denver Public School Board's capacity to practice good governance in support of its core business 'student achievement.' "
The retreat was led by two facilitators with topics such as "framework for school board governance and leadership" and "why board culture matters."
Board member Jeannie Kaplan said nothing much was accomplished.
"It really was pretty dull," she said.

Welcome to
The kites on this site are not toys. Power/traction kiting can be a dangerous activity when proper safety and appropriate conditions are ignored. If you are new to the sport, it is highly advised you seek training/assistance and invest in safety gear (ie. helmet/pads). Wind/nature is a very unpredictable force and serious injury or death can occur if these warnings are not observed.

I call them a duo because that's how they started out, and essentially what they still are with Grant Burton and Stephanie Parrish writing all the songs and music for the band. They're the nucleus of the group, and lovers, which was very obvious based on their synergy and songwriting -- but ironically, that duo sounds best as a five piece when they add drums, bass, and banjo/saxphone/lap steel guitar like they did last night. Their set started out sort of tepid at first as they began with a few slower, alt country-esque love songs to one another. The bulk of their material is mostly about the emotions of initially falling in love and was written before other members were added to the group to help record an album and play live shows. I'm not sure the crowd was feeling those first few tunes, or maybe folks were just single and bitter and didn't want to hear that shit. Either way, if people were into it, they didn't immediately show it.
The first half hour had that Neumos "let's all stand here with our hands in our pockets" feeling that Seattle audiences can be known for. But at the same time, bands on stage have to earn the respect of the crowd so it's partly admiral. Anyway, some of their first songs, especially those with a slight country twang, felt more suited for a crowd in Nashville or North Carolina. And they struck me as the type of band that had a better chance of making it out of Seattle, rather than in Seattle, if that makes sense.
To be fair, last night was only the band's fourth time playing out and they're already opening up for the Vaselines, which naturally is going to add a good amount of pressure. Although they later denied it, there was definitely some nervous energy on stage throughout their set, but they eventually smoothed all of that out.
As the songs picked up in pace and the more energy Hallways was able to give the audience, the crowd didn't hesitate to give it right back. At some point, Hawai'ian transplant Kimo Muraki, who was playing banjo in the beginning switched to saxophone and it added a whole new dynamic. I think my favorite original songs of theirs from last night were "Roses" and "All You Have To Do." Even though the latter is full of that pillow-talk Southern romance appeal, it's a gorgeous ballad nonetheless.
The crowd reacted best when they jumped into "Comfortably Numb." It's sort of ballsy to cover Pink Floyd like that, especially at the end of their set when the room was packed with people. What stood out most was that they had a fuller sound during that song than they did on any other -- Grant flailed about in full rock star mode, Stephanie with her short dress, cute looks, and endless gams, crooned with the more energy than she did all night, and Kimo even switched to lap steel guitar. They played the moment up and closed out strong, which the audience seemed to appreciate. Even though they've got some kinks to work out (it being their fourth show and all) it wasn't a bad set at all.
On a random note: Why the hell did people keep shooting streamers and blowing bubbles into the crowd? I felt like I was in Fear and Loathing at one point with all types of ribbons and bubbles and party favors (not those kind of party favors) touching my face! I'm not sure if that was a part of the act, but it sure seemed weird.

The New York Times magazine had a fascinating article Sunday on Ikaria, a Greek Island in the Aegean Sea, 30 miles off the western coast of Turkey. Here, amid the oak forests and rolling vineyards, it is not uncommon to see residents live to be 100 years old. The island's reputation as a veritable Ponce de León fantasy land, with its pristine air and water, and heart-happy Mediterranean diet, dates back 25 centuries.
See Also: Want to Live to Be as Old as Ernest Borgnine?
But why is this so? The writer, Dan Buettner, offered this explanation:
Ikaria: Where lots of sex, naps, wine, and good food, promotes a very, very long life
Seeking to learn more about the island's reputation for long-lived residents, I called on Dr. Ilias Leriadis, one of Ikaria's few physicians, in 2009. On an outdoor patio at his weekend house, he set a table with Kalamata olives, hummus, heavy Ikarian bread and wine. "People stay up late here," Leriadis said. "We wake up late and always take naps. I don't even open my office until 11 a.m. because no one comes before then." He took a sip of his wine. "Have you noticed that no one wears a watch here? No clock is working correctly. When you invite someone to lunch, they might come at 10 a.m. or 6 p.m. We simply don't care about the clock here."
Pointing across the Aegean toward the neighboring island of Samos, he said: "Just 15 kilometers over there is a completely different world. There they are much more developed. There are high-rises and resorts and homes worth a million euros. In Samos, they care about money. Here, we don't. For the many religious and cultural holidays, people pool their money and buy food and wine. If there is money left over, they give it to the poor. It's not a 'me' place. It's an 'us' place."
After finishing the piece, and longing to commune with our neighbors around a plate full of the aforementioned Kalamata olives, hummus, heavy Ikarian bread and wine, we grew curious. Where, we wondered, do people in Washington State live the longest, and how do they do it?
Turns out it is also an island, albeit nine islands -- Whidbey and Camano and seven smaller ones -- known of course as Island County, home to nearly 80,000 residents, whose biggest city is Oak Harbor.
Here, the average life expectancy of a woman is an 84.1 years; for men, it is 80.9 years. It ain't Ikaria, but it's working on it.
This, we learned from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, whose interactive map allows one to view life expectancies in every county in the U.S. Click here to check it out.
"Actually, Island County has one of the highest life expectancy rates in the country," says the Institute's acting director of communications, William Heisel, who speculates it has largely to do with a very low number of smokers and obese residents, and a generally healthier lifestyle.
Now, back to Ikaria for a moment. Researchers believe napping, which they do a whole lot of there, is one reason for their extraordinary longevity, that and feeling a real sense of being part of a close-knit community. Diet, too, is integral.
As The Times reported:
"....Dr. Christina Chrysohoou, a cardiologist at the University of Athens School of Medicine, teamed up with half a dozen scientists to organize the Ikaria Study, which includes a survey of the diet of 673 Ikarians. She found that her subjects consumed about six times as many beans a day as Americans, ate fish twice a week and meat five times a month, drank on average two to three cups of coffee a day and took in about a quarter as much refined sugar -- the elderly did not like soda. She also discovered they were consuming high levels of olive oil along with two to four glasses of wine a day.
Chrysohoou also suspected that Ikarians' sleep and sex habits might have something to do with their long life. She cited a 2008 paper by the University of Athens Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health that studied more than 23,000 Greek adults. The researchers followed subjects for an average of six years, measuring their diets, physical activity and how much they napped. They found that occasional napping was associated with a 12 percent reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease, but that regular napping -- at least three days weekly -- was associated with a 37 percent reduction. She also pointed out a preliminary study of Ikarian men between 65 and 100 that included the fact that 80 percent of them claimed to have sex regularly, and a quarter of that self-reported group said they were doing so with "good duration" and "achievement."
That's all for now. Time to check air fares.

New art install gets up close and personal
Art Features According to the One Billion Rising campaign's website, one in three women the world over will be beaten or raped in her lifetime.

SAN DIEGO — Perception could be different from reality.
It's possible the Broncos don't become stronger, faster and better in the second half. Maybe what happens is as the Broncos pound, blitz and attack the game of football like a pack of dogs who missed dinner, their opponents eventually get weaker and slower.
Those big, bad, lippy San Diego Chargers don't seem so tough anymore. Not around the new brand of rugged, aggressive, contact-loving Broncos, they don't.
Realizing Eddie Royal couldn't return every kick or punt for a touchdown, the Broncos beat and beat down the Chargers in an AFC West showdown 34-23 on Monday night by once again dominating the second half.

In what has to be the stat of their 6-0 season, the Broncos have annihilated their opposition 76-10 in the second half. They whipped the Chargers 17-3 after halftime Monday.
"They're going to start testing us to see what's going on in here," said a smiling Broncos pass-rusher Elvis Dumervil, who has nine of his 10 sacks this season in second halves, including two against Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers. "But no, man, the coaching staff has done a great job of coming in and making adjustments. And you've got to give a lot of credit to our offseason conditioning program."
This was a two-game swing that put the Broncos in control of the AFC West. With the loss, the second-place Chargers (2-3) are now 3 1/2 games behind the undefeated Broncos.
The Chargers aren't yakking today. Before the game, some of the Broncos' defensive and offensive linemen got into a shoving and yelling match with a group of Chargers defensive players.
The Chargers had their way with the Broncos the previous three years, but not anymore.
"There's a lot of bite in this team," said Broncos tight end Tony Scheffler, who caught the go-ahead touchdown pass late in the third quarter.
"It's a great win for the organization, because we've been embarrassed here the last couple of years," Dumervil said.
Is it too early to ask whether Josh McDaniels can do it again? He was New England's offensive coordinator in 2007, when the Patriots became the only team in history to finish the regular season with a 16-0 record.
At one point that season, the Pats were 6-0.
"I don't know when they started talking about it," said McDaniels, who is now the Broncos' coach. "But it's a silly question to ask now."
The Broncos will take their undefeated record into the bye week.
Given those two-a-day, full-pad training camp practices that have been at the root of the Broncos' second-half play, it's difficult to remember when a Denver team was more deserving of a vacation.
Counting return yardage — and return yardage counted in this game as in few others — the teams combined for 695 all-purpose yards. By halftime.
It was hardly the most dominant half the Broncos have played, but it was easily the most entertaining. There were three touchdown returns — two by Royal, on a kickoff and a punt — and another when the Chargers' Darren Sproles brought back a Brett Kern punt 77 yards.
It was the first game in NFL history that had such a special-teams sequence of each team getting a touchdown off a punt return, plus a kickoff return score.
"I think on the kickoff return, I had to stiff-arm a guy," Royal said. "But otherwise, I don't think I was touched. The guys did a great job."
Even with the offenses combining for only one touchdown — a short pass from Rivers to Northern Colorado product Vince Jackson — the Chargers led 20-17 at the intermission.
The Chargers didn't have near enough cushion. Rivers was harassed by Dumervil and blitzing Broncos linebackers in the second half. Besides beating down their opponents, the Broncos also seem to play the second half with greater poise.
Quarterback Kyle Orton threw two touchdown passes in the second half: a beautiful 19-yarder to Scheffler, who made a terrific catch; and a 5-yard pass to a rolling Brandon Stokley.
"We stay the course, don't hit the panic button if things don't go right in the first half," said Orton, who has a 127.2 passer rating in the second half, 81.7 in the first. "We'd love to start off fast, and we have started off fast, but we realize these are 60-minute games are going to come down to a few situations."

Pass or fail
Offense: Thumbs up
Threw early, ran late and gradually took control as the game wore on. Tipped time of possession to its favor in the second half.
Defense: Thumbs up
A big stop on fourth down in the fourth quarter and again tightened the screws in the second half, limiting the Chargers to three points.
Special teams: Thumbs up
Had a bobble with a 77-yard touchdown on a punt return by Darren Sproles and another missed FG by Matt Prater, but Royal trumped all with two TD returns.
Coaching: Thumbs up
Avoided the have-the-bye-coming-up blues and won in a place they haven't done so since 2005.
Game balls
* WR Eddie Royal: At one point Monday night, Royal actually had personally outscored the Chargers 12-10 after becoming the first Broncos player in the franchise's history to return a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the same game.
* OLB Elvis Dumervil: Another two sacks — both against Chargers RT Jeromey Clary — another forced fumble. Had consistent pressure throughout the evening.
* LT Ryan Clady: Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman is not the same because of a nagging groin injury, but Clady manhandled him nonetheless.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
Is there more to life than money?
James Welsh | 06 May 2013 11:46 GMT | Cambodia, Laos
A new statue in the centre of Cambodia's capital stands as a reminder of one of the country's most politically charged killings.Unveiled last week across the street from where he was gunned down nine years ago, the stone sculpture of slain union leader Chea Vichea marks what many believe is a murder that has not been solved.The killing of Chea has all the elements of a Hollywood thriller: A murdered political figure, assassins on a motorcycle, death threats, allegations of police corruption, witnesses claiming intimidation, and two men serving 20-year prison sentences for a crime few believe they committed.Chea, whose death sparked an immediate outcry from rights groups and foreign diplomats, was killed on January 22, 2004, while he was reading The Cambodia Daily newspaper outside a news stand. Two men on a motorcycle drove up, one of whom dismounted and fatally shot the politician three times before driving off again.
Nearly 10 years later, Chea's death and the subsequent investigation are still condemned by rights groups as examples of impunity and corruption within the country's courts.
Through the 1970s Chea survived the regime of the Khmer Rouge along with his brother, going on to help found what became Cambodia's main opposition party.His reputation grew as a charismatic leader who travelled around the country, working tirelessly to convince garment workers to join the Free Trade Union of the Workers of the Kingdom of Cambodia (FTU).
In 1997, while taking part in a demonstration, he was injured along with more than 100 others during a grenade attack that left 16 protesters dead in Phnom Penh.
And despite receiving threats against his life - one of which was sent by text message six months before he was killed - he continued the fight for workers' rights until the day he died.
Chea's funeral in Phnom Penh overwhelmed the city streets with tens of thousands of mourners.Swift justice was demanded and police responded by parading two men - Born Samnang, 32, and Sok Sam Oeun, 45 - in front of the press seven days after the killing. Then-deputy Phnom Penh police chief Heng Pov, who is currently serving lengthy prison sentences for a variety of serious crimes, announced that they had caught the killers.
Justice under scrutiny
It did not take me long to understand that the two suspects, Born Samnang and Sok Sam Oeun, had nothing to do with the murder.
Heng Pov, former police chief
Evidence of a framing? Even Heng Pov, the former deputy police chief, claimed in an August 2006 interview with French news magazine L'Express, that Born Samnang and Sok Sam Oeun had been framed."It did not take me long to understand that the two suspects, Born Samnang and Sok Sam Oeun, had nothing to do with the murder," L'Express reported him as saying, according to a translation of the interview.Officials in Cambodia brushed aside the accusations made by the now-disgraced former official, saying that he was obviously not to be trusted.
And then there was the testimony of Va Sothy, the key witness and the owner of the newsstand where Chea Vichea was shot dead.
In 2006, she sent a notorised statement to the court saying that the two men were innocent.
The justice system, despite on the surface looking a bit better ... 20 years on, in many respects, it is not any better.
Rupert Abbott, Amnesty International researcher
"I understood that the fake murderers had been created, because I could clearly remember the faces of the murderers and they were not the same as the pictures publicised," she wrote, according to a copy of the testimony on Licadho's website.
She did not testify in person because she had fled the country, saying that being the sole witness to what could be considered the most politically charged murder of the decade had put her in danger.
Her statement likewise accuses Pov of warning her against coming forward after a day after Born and Sok were arrested.
But the Appeals Court rejected Va's testimony, saying she needed to testify in person.
Hope for the pair was restored temporarily in December 2008, when the Supreme Court released Born and Sok on bail and ordered the Appeals Court to reinvestigate the case.
However, four years later, in December 2012, the Appeals Court upheld the original verdict. The pair were sent back to prison, where they remain today.
Highlighting the caseOne of the lawyers involved in the case, Sok Sam Oeun, who is not related to the convicted man, said from Phnom Penh that the court's decision reflected "a problem with the independence of the judiciary in Cambodia".Sok, the executive director of the Cambodian Defenders Project, which has supplied the defence attorneys for the convicted men, said that the court may have felt that it had no choice but to put the pair back in jail.If they were innocent, he said, then the police and the courts would have a lot to answer for."This case can make the government lose face," he said. "If the judge released them, it makes the police lose face."
Rupert Abbott, Amnesty International's researcher on Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, said that his organisation would continue to highlight the case in the hope that international donors would take it into consideration when handing out money for the country.
"The donors seem to have a very short memory in Cambodia," he said from London."The justice system, despite on the surface looking a bit better ... 20 years on, in many respects, it is not any better."The Cambodian government, as it has since the beginning, denied that anything is awry."Right now everyone wants to put the blame on politics," said Phay Siphan, a government spokesman, refuting claims of government intervention in the case."We cannot say who is wrong or right, but we respect the court's decision."

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Employment data, released Friday, gave much needed direction to global financial markets that had remained range-bound and volatile since the Federal Reserve hinted at a premature end to its quantitative-easing program.Bond markets reacted sharply to the news, pushing yields a few basis points lower. U.S. equities rose around 1%, and now through the use of intermarket analysis, we can take a closer look at the developing trends in fixed income.
Although the pair looks to have broken higher above support, it is still somewhat suppressed, due to the gradual nature of the U.S. recovery. The curve will flatten when the end of monetary easing becomes more definitive, but until that point, the pair should drift higher. The last chart is of Barclays TIPS Bond Fund (TIP) over Barclays 7-10 Year Treasury Bond Fund (IEF). The pairing signals inflation expectations. As inflation has become less of a threat, commodities and export-driven economies, such as China, have shown profound weakness. The price action has also left some Fed officials proclaiming that stimulus efforts are a long way from being pulled, and the U.S. could see even more loosening in order to drive inflation higher. European and Chinese inflation data will be released this week, but based on the pair below, the data may come out below expectations. Central-bank easing across the world has aimed to defeat low inflation, but until growth in demand returns, investors have no reason to fear rising interest rates. At the time of publication the author had no position in any of the stocks mentioned.

Hello ThatWasMe :)
I meant to say that Cano and his agent, Boras are crazy to turn down that offer.
That is a very good offer made by the Yankees. After Jeter retires, Cano would be the leader and face of the Yankees.
Yeah I understood your point ic :)
Cool ThatWasMe :)
I miss the good old days when the AL East was dominated by the Red Sox and Yankees. The Rays, Blue Jays and O's were pushovers. LOL
Now, the AL East is a five-team race.
Even teams like the Mariners and Royals are no longer pushovers.
I wonder when the Red Sox and Yankees will face in the playoffs again..............or have a brawl. ;)
tensions are going to be high between every ALE team this season.. every disision win/loss is going to be magnified due to the likely tight race that will be going on. I expect a brawl between 2 ALE teams this year. can't wait. personally, i hope it's against the O's
Yup, the 2 big dogs of the division have fallen back to join the rest of the pack. Should be a dogfight as every team in the ALE has its share of question marks and issues. I could care less for a brawl. Thats how players can get seriously hurt. I dont want to see any players on any teams career be in jepordy because of a brawl...

San Diego One of the most prestigious political appointments in San Diego will be up for City Council consideration early next year as two vacancies are filled on the Port Commission.
The city has three seats on the seven-member commission, but appointees Lee Burdick and Scott Peters are leaving their posts. Peters defeated Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-San Diego, in last month's election and is headed to Congress. Burdick is taking a job in the administration of Mayor Bob Filner as his special representative for economic development and legal affairs.
Filner confirmed Burdick's new role last week during a news conference.
Expanding port operations was the main plank of Filner's economic strategy during the mayoral campaign, but he won't have the final say in who gets appointed. City rules give all the appointment power to the City Council.
Council President Todd Gloria sent a memo to his colleagues last week asking them to submit nominees by Dec. 21. A council vote is scheduled for Jan. 7.
Peters is a former City Council president who joined the Port Commission in January 2009, a month after term limits forced him from office. Burdick, a land-use attorney, joined the port in July 2009. The current term for each was set to expire Jan. 31, so a council decision would have been required even if they weren't leaving.
The commission oversees the Unified Port of San Diego, which administers state tidelands in San Diego Bay. It hosts cruise ships and cargo vessels and has security and maintenance responsibility for waterfront parks. It has 556 employees and a $135 million budget.
While San Diego has the most representation on the commission, the following cities each have one appointee: Chula Vista, Coronado, Imperial Beach and National City. The positions are voluntary and unpaid.

how to cope
why is she living with you?
Missing our GG 08/04, celebrating everyday our 3 rainbows ods 2/09, dd 10/10 and yds 3/12
Wife to Josh since 8/2/08
Mommy to Hannah Rachel born 5/4/2010 (at 33 weeks, 6 days) and Ethan Michael born 2/22/12(at 35 weeks, 5 days)
You are your DH's family now, his main concern. His sister is secondary at best. She is an adult and responsible for herself, handicapped or not. You can only be a door mat if you chose to lie down in front of a door. Tell her up front you are not taking care of her and she has to figure something out. She is not your responsibility or your DH's. Do not help her, plain and simple. She can whine and complain and you just say NO. Being handicapped doesn't buy her a personal servant or pity, or anything else. Tough love is hard, but it works, you just have to put your big girl panties on, stand up to your DH and let him handle this mess, and you just don't give in...

wow. not sure what to say. my patience only goes so far with people like that. i really don't want to sound insensitive to her disability, but she cannot use and abuse it like she is! you are pregnant, hello?!! you can't be doing all the stuff she's asking you to do for her if she is perfectly able. you are the one that should be getting special treatment, period. maybe i'm a different breed of person, but i wouldn't have put up with it this long. i agree with pp, get your husband to stand up for you, you are carrying his child! he is building his own family now and that is more important [sorry, but just IMO]. but i totally understand not wanting to put him in that situation where he feels he has to "choose". but this is your guys' time. she will be there when you guys are ready to take that responsibility back, if you choose to. but for now focus on each other and your new addition! :) good luck! hope all goes well.

happily expecting number two ! ! !
However, in the end, she is NOT your responsibility while your baby is. You can't possibly do everything. You, your baby and your DH comes before anyone else, especially right after a birth.
I'd just be plain honest. Tell her that you're very sorry and that you helped her for as long as you could but that life will change and everyone has to adapt. Including her. Heck is her nephew!
She didn't like that you suggested that her mother could come and help, don't ask for her opinion! Just talk to the mom and she will have to adjust. If you keep asking for her opinion, of course she'll prefer to have her personal "slave" like you said. So don't ask her. Find someone to walk the dog, to dress her up, to do whatever and just let her deal with it.
Sorry I can't help too much. I hope you find a good solution! Good luck!

"Inner City vs. Outer Space."
Film Synopsis:
From the producers of Shaun of the Dead, ATTACK THE BLOCK is a fast, funny, frightening action adventure movie that pits a teen street gang against an invasion of savage alien monsters. It turns a London housing project into a sci-fi battleground, the low-income apartment complex into a fortress under siege. And it turns a crazy mix of tough street kids into a team of kick ass heroes. It's inner city versus outer space and it's going to explode.
My Take:"Attack The Block" sure is a fun ride. Talking the normal big scale alien invasion flick and simplifying things to a limited location. Keeping things simple and fast paced, more concerned with quality, not quantity, "Attack The Block" is set in and around a housing project in London, and we follow a teen gang of hoodlums as they fight off a band of Aliens who fall down to Earth like meteors. We know this is a different type of film when the group we are asked to root on are introduced as they rob a girl on her way home from work.
The film is a billed as a Sci/Fi-Horror-Comedy. Thought I really enjoyed it, I wished it had more scares and more funny scenes. The Alien design sure was some of the best I have seen. The Aliens have a mouth full of glow in the dark teeth that looked menacing as hell, especially in the films mostly dark atmosphere. The films biggest help is also its worst asset-- its small scale and intimate location made it tidy and fun, but we don't get to see the scope of things much beyond the "block", nor do we learn as much as we want. The film is about little English teenage hoods vs. Aliens. Should we expect depth? Be thankful that it's super fun with awesome aliens and was more concerned with doing what it does right, than trying to blow your mind.

"Attack The Block" is another true to source release by Sony Home Entertainment. Set 90% in the darkness, the film doesn't get to show off ultra definition, and things do seem a bit soft. It still is a worthy HD image, just not a top-tier release. Blacks waiver from inky to a shade of gray, and do crush a times. It's over-all a bit of a drab looking film, but set at night in rainy England, shouldn't it look a bit dull? The DTS-HD MA audio is better than the video portion of this release. It is not as aggressive as I expected, but it is elegant. Its LFE was well rounded and never floppy, even with its bassy Hip-Hop soundtrack. Dialogue was in the forefront, though with the heavy English accents, I found caching every word a bit tricky. The track shines with its sound-field placement. Every voice and sound effect comes from where it is on screen, and the effect channels are used with taste. This is most impressive in scenes where things get hectic and aliens are behind you, kids are running around screaming in front of you and the soundtrack is blaring. Thankfully it all works really well.

- (HD) Previews: Columbiana, Retreat, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, Drive
Final Thoughts:
"Attack The Block" is one of the better alien invasion flicks. It's loud, dumb and fun, and it has the confidence to do what it wants and nothing more. Great effects and pacing make this one stand out, as does its cast of characters, the teenage group of hoods from a housing project in England. It's about little English teenage hoods vs. Aliens. Should we expect depth? Be thankful that it's super fun with awesome aliens and was more concerned with doing what it does right, than trying to blow your mind. Fans will love the 3 commentary tracks as well as the hour long documentary "Behind the Block", which was one of the better "making of's" that I have seen. I highly recommend giving this a spin, it's a great popcorn flick!

I was hoping the BR would yield better scores on both counts, but if I like the movie on the standard disc I rented, I'll pick up the Blu.
It looks like a fun movie.
PQ was decent as the review indicated. I was actually pretty impressed with the audio, especially the sounds the aliens' made which I found to be pretty unique. Some decent LFE too in certain scenes combined with some nice discrete effects.
Definitely worth a rent!

Prospect Park
Marquis De Lafayette
This bronze sculpture depicts the Marquis de Lafayette (1757–1834), the French-born general who fought on behalf of American rebels during the American Revolution. The nearly ten-foot-high bronze relief by Daniel Chester French (1850–1931) was a gift of Henry Harteau, a Brooklyn glass manufacturer of French ancestry, and was unveiled by representatives of the French War Commission in 1917.
French statesman and military leader Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert Du Montier Lafayette is best remembered for his role in the Revolutionary War. Sympathetic to the American cause, he aided the colonists through the provision of experienced military leadership. The Frenchman quickly became a favorite of General George Washington, who appointed him Major General in the Continental Army during 1777. The next year, Lafayette returned to France following the formal agreement of the France/United States alliance against Great Britain. Once in France, he actively lobbied for the allotment of increased military and financial aid for the Colonies. In 1780, Marquis de Lafayette returned to America and served valorously in the Virginia campaign, which forced the surrender of Lord Charles Cornwallis in 1781.
As a true proponent of democracy, Lafayette assumed a leading role in the French Revolution of 1789. He became a member of the National Assembly, from which position he prepared the Declaration of the Rights of Man, a bill of rights based on the Virginia Declaration of Rights (also a major source for the American Declaration of Independence). He commanded the French National Guard and joined the Feuillants, a moderate political party that advocated a constitutional monarchy. He gained leadership of a French division in 1792 in the war against Austria. Chastised by the Jacobins within his unit (who were far more radical than the Feuillants) Lafayette fled to Flanders where Austrian authorities imprisoned him for five years. Upon his return to France, he avoided the dictatorial politics of Napoleon Bonaparte. Following Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, Lafayette resumed his political career by serving as a member of the Chamber of Deputies in 1815 and from 1818 to 1824. He toured the United States in 1824 during which time Congress voted him a gift of $200,000 and a large tract of land. Marquis de Lafayette, the statesman and general, maintained the convictions of democracy, social equality, and religious freedom throughout the remainder of his life.
The work, set in a picturesque pink granite stele designed by architect Henry Bacon, features a heroic-sized Lafayette standing next to his horse. French also collaborated with Bacon on the marble sculpture of Lincoln at Washington, D.C.'s Lincoln Memorial (1911-22). French also sculpted the Richard Morris Hunt Memorial (1896-1901) in Central Park as well as the Four Continents (1903-07) at the U.S. Customs House (now the National Museum of the American Indian) in Lower Manhattan.
Lafayette is also represented in two other monuments that figure prominently in city parks, both designed by sculptor Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi (1834–1904), who created the Statue of Liberty (1886). One is a larger-than-life-sized bronze depiction of the general in Union Square Park (1876) and the other a 1890 bronze group sculpture that also depicts George Washington in Upper Manhattan's Lafayette Park.
In 1988 this monument was conserved through the Adopt-A-Monument Program, a joint venture of the Municipal Art Society, Parks and the New York City Art Commission.

Fletcher, Runkel, Ward Earn Patriot League Year-End Honors
April 21, 2014
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Three Loyola University Maryland senior men's lacrosse players were among seven to earn All-Patriot League honors on Monday, and they also received year-end Player of the Year awards from the League's coaches.
Joe Fletcher was named the League's Defensive Player of the Year, Jack Runkel the Goalkeeper of the Year and Justin Ward the Offensive Player of the Year. Fletcher, Runkel and Ward were all named to the All-Patriot League First Team along with Pat Laconi, Nikko Pontrello and Brian Sherlock. Kevin Ryan earned All-Patriot League Second Team recognition.
Loyola, which is ranked No. 1 in the nation in the USILA coaches, Warrior/Inside Lacrosse and Lacrosse Magazine media polls, completed its first season in the Patriot League by winning the regular-season title with an 8-0 record. The Greyhounds will host the Patriot League Championships at Ridley Athletic Complex this weekend, beginning with the semifinals on Friday, April 25, and culminating with the title game on Sunday, April 27. Tickets are available for purchase at www.loyolagreyhounds.com/tickets.
The players have helped Loyola to a 12-1 record thus far in 2014. The Greyhounds are the only team in Division I to be ranked in the top five nationally in goals per game (5th, 13.23) and fewest goals allowed (3rd, 7.00). They are tops in the nation in scoring margin (+6.23) and fewest turnovers per contest (10.69).
Fletcher earned his record fifth Patriot League Defensive Player of the Week honor earlier Monday, tying Runkel for the most by any player in a single season in League history. The 2013 USILA All-America First Team member leads NCAA Division I close defenders in ground balls (61) and ground balls per game (4.69) through 13 contests. He has also solidified his reputation as a lock-down defender having not allowed a goal in one-versus-one defense in over a month.
Last Thursday, Fletcher shut down Bucknell University's David Dickson, holding him without a point after Dickson entered the game with at least one goal or assist in 41-straight games. Fletcher, who was the 2013 ECAC Lacrosse League Defensive Player of the Year, also shut down Colgate University's Ryan Walsh on March 29 after Walsh had scored in 42 consecutive, and he then held the U.S. Naval Academy's T.J. Hanzsche without a point on April 5. Hanzsche had a point in 15 in a row.
Runkel has been a standout between the pipes for the Greyhounds, posting a 6.86 goals against average this year while making saves on 61.9 percent of shots on goal he has faced. The senior, who was named to the 2012 NCAA Championships All-Tournament Team along with Fletcher, led the League in save percengage (68.6) in conference games while posting the second-best goals against average in League play (5.74).
He earned five Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Week honors, including four straight during the middle of the year, and he has won 43 games since becoming the Greyhounds' starter early in the 2012 season.
Ward, who has two or more assists in all 13 of Loyola's games this year, has again quarterbacked the Greyhounds' offense, helping Loyola lead the conference and rank in the top five nationally in every major offensive statistical category. This season, Ward became Loyola's career assist leader at the Division I level (since 1982) and had 109 entering the Patriot League Championships. With 42 assists to go with 13 goals, he also has set the school single-season assist record for Division I players.
His assist total for 2014 is tied for fourth in Patriot League single-season history, and he is second in Division I in total assists and assists per game (3.23). Along with Fletcher, Ward is a finalist for the prestigious Senior CLASS Award, and they are both on the watch list for the Tewaaraton Award as the sport's top player.
Laconi has been regarded as one of the top, if not the best, short-stick defensive midfielders in the nation. In his four years with the Greyhounds, Laconi has been a starter on the Greyhounds' rope unit, and this year he has taken his statistical measures to a new level. He leads all non-pole players nationally in caused turnovers (27) and caused turnovers per game (2.08). He also has scored eight goals and has three assists to key the Greyhounds' transition game.
Pontrello burst onto the nation scene in this his second season as a starter for the Greyhounds. After logging 16 goals and 19 assists while starting on attack and in the midfield last year for Loyola, Pontrello has scored two or more goals in all but one of Loyola's 13 contests this season. Through games of Sunday, April 20, Pontrello is second in the nation in both goals (43) and goals per game (3.31).
Sherlock has made an immediate impact for Loyola in his first year after transferring from the University of North Carolina where he missed last season with an injury. The redshirt freshman has scored 14 goals and assisted on eight in the midfield for Loyola, and he also runs the wings on faceoffs and plays several shifts a game in the defensive midfield.
Ryan has led the Greyhounds' second midfield unit throughout the year and is tied for the team lead in extra-man goals with five. He has posted 20 goals and four assists this season for Loyola, ranking third on the team in goals scored. The senior also ranks 11th in the nation in shooting percentage, converting 46.5 percent of his shots into goals.
The other major award winners in the Patriot League were Colgate goalkeeper Brandon Burke who is the Rookie of the Year (Sherlock was not eligible for the award as only players in their first year of college are eligible). The U.S. Military Academy's Joe Alberici was named the William Lawson Coach of the Year.
