10 Smoothies for Healthy Skin
Sip your way to a clear, glowing complexion with these easy smoothie recipes that taste as good as they are going to make you look
Coffee. Booze. Soda. Even fruit juice is a no-no. What's a thirsty gal to do?
Well, allow us to quench your curiosity and bear some good news. You can sip your way to a clear complexion (and bonus -- a slimmer waistline) with yum-o smoothies that are good for your skin.
Ashley Koff, R.D., a celebrity dietitian and author of "Mom Energy," says every woman can benefit from firing up the ol' blender. "Smoothies are a great way to get all of the nutrients you need for beautiful skin in just one drink," says Koff. "Even better, since they're so easy to make and take with you, they can replace the junky, highly-processed fast food that's so bad for your skin."
That's why we asked Koff and four other experts to create 10 healthy smoothie recipes that would satisfy our blend ambition.
The nutritious combinations of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and good-for-you fats in these healthy, delicious smoothies are especially good for your skin, says Koff. "They are packed with essential fatty acids, which calm puffiness and redness. They're loaded with antioxidants, which keep wrinkles and sagging to a minimum. And many of the ingredients here are also alkalizing, which helps the body release skin-irritating toxins."
Are you frantically dusting off your blender yet? Yeah, us too.

Been making smoothies since I was 14yrs old, these are nice combo ingredients, but for someone who's busy like me, I've tapered my smoothies down to 5 fast ingredients. You can buy pass and save A LOT of money and just buy chia seeds instead of fish oil, hemp & etc....it expands like tapioca and use fiber 1 cereal. Not to mention save a lot more money. Sugar free pudding thickens smoothies as well as give flavor. If you have the time to do this Great, but for a busy person like me, No way. I even take my own to the gym and shake it with my ingredients to drink at least 30 minutes after the gym.

K-State's Chambers Named to All-Big 12 Preseason Squad
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State senior Brittany Chambers was named to the 2012-13 preseason All-Big 12 honorable mention team in an announcement by the league office on Wednesday morning. This is the second straight season Chambers has garnered preseason All-Big 12 honorable mention honors from the league's coaches.
Chambers, a two-time All-Big 12 First Team selection at the conclusion of the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons, led K-State in rebounding and finished 14th in the Big 12 with 6.2 per game and finished second on the team in scoring and ranked eighth in the Big 12 with 14.0 points per game. The guard from Jordan, Minn., was one of two players in the Big 12 and one of 15 guards in the nation last season to record 400-plus points, 200-plus rebounds and 70-plus assists. She became the 12th player in school history to register consecutive seasons of 400 or more points scored.
She paced the Big 12 and ranked 50th in the nation in three-point field goals made per game (2.4). With her 80 connections from beyond the arc in 2011-12, Chambers became the second player in school history with two or more seasons with 80 or more connections from the three-point line.
Chambers, a three-time Big 12 Player of the Week recipient in her career, enters the 2012-13 season ranked 10th in school history for career points (1,378), 16th in the program's history for career rebounds (581), 17th for career assists (241) and fourth for career 3-point field goals made (233).
The remainder of the 2012-13 preseason All-Big 12 team consisted of: Brittney Griner and Odyssey Sims of Baylor, Chelsea Poppens of Iowa State, Angel Goodrich of Kansas and Aaryn Ellenberg of Oklahoma. Additional honorable mention recipients were: Destiny Williams of Baylor, Carolyn Davis of Kansas, Whitney Hand of Oklahoma, Chassidy Fussell of Texas and Asya Bussie of West Virginia.
Earning preseason Big 12 Player of the Year honors was Griner, while preseason Newcomer of the Year was awarded to Jackie Patterson of Texas Tech. The preseason Freshman of the Year was Alexis Prince of Baylor.
K-State returns six letterwinners and two starters from the 13th NCAA Tournament squad in school history. The Wildcats registered an overall record of 20-14 and a 9-9 mark in Big 12 action which resulted in a tie for fourth in the league standings. Head coach Deb Patterson, K-State's all-time wins leader, returns to the sidelines for her 17th season in Bramlage Coliseum. Patterson will welcome in seven newcomers to her roster in 2012-13, including WBCA junior college All-American Ashlynn Knoll.
Season ticket prices for the 2012-13 K-State women's basketball season begin at just $3 per game when fans purchase a Wildcat 4-Pack of four or more general admission tickets for $50 each. Other season ticket options include Reserved Bench and Cat Cushion tickets at $99 per seat, as well as Chairback seats for $132 each (plus a $50 donation per season ticket account to the Ahearn Fund). For the first time, K-State football and men's basketball season ticket holders are eligible for a significant discount on general admission season tickets, which can be purchased for just $20 each.
All women's basketball season ticket holders can participate in the roll-over ticket program for the upcoming season. Fans may redeem unused game tickets for general admission seats to future games by visiting the K-State Ticket Office at least one day prior to the game they are interested in attending.

Jim Hurst is a bluegrass true believer
Jim Hurst, with Chet Lowther
A Woody Hawley Series concert
WHERE: Clay Center Walker Theater
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Saturday
INFO: 304-561-3570 or www.theclaycenter.org
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Jim Hurst doesn't listen to much country radio anymore, and when he does, he can't really make heads or tails of it. Country music, he thinks, has lost its way and forgotten where it came from.
The acclaimed guitarist and singer/songwriter, who opens the Woody Hawley Series at the Clay Center on Saturday, said, "If you listen to mainstream country music radio, you don't hear Loretta Lynn, Merle Haggard or Willie Nelson. It's really sad. All the artists sound the same. It's the same demographic, the same age group, the same kind of sound."
Country music, he said, isn't interested in any kind of real diversity. The labels turn all their artists into basically a variation on the same theme -- and that's boring.
Hurst has a hard time figuring out why anyone would want to listen to that. The good stuff, he said, is on AM radio, on little college radio stations.
"That's where you have to go to hear the people who really started country music," he said.
Hurst came up through country music. He played in Holly Dunn's Rio Band in the '80s and toured with Trisha Yearwood in the early 1990s, playing electric guitar. But by the middle part of that decade, his interests had changed.
He switched to bluegrass and joined Claire Lynch's band. Before long, he and Lynch's bassist, Missy Raines, began performing as a duet on the side. In 2010, Hurst left the Claire Lynch Band to pursue a solo career.
"It's been a great opportunity for me to grow as an artist," Hurst said. "I'd been a side man for so long."
Bluegrass is a better fit for him, he said, although he acknowledged that that's not entirely what he does.
"When I do a show," he said, "I might do three or four songs that are bluegrassy, and then do some songs that completely aren't."
But he loves bluegrass. He sees it as more dynamic. Unlike country music, which seems stagnant and superficial, he believes bluegrass is evolving while remaining reverent to its roots.
He said, "The great thing about bluegrass radio is you can still hear Bill Monroe. You can still hear Flatt and Scruggs and Jimmy Martin and Done Reno and Red Smiley. You hear the new stuff, too, but they don't play it really any more than the older stuff."
Modern bluegrass, even the progressive stuff played by people with purple hair and electric instruments, remembers the artists who came before, he said, which helps keep the music alive.
"What's great about that is you might come in listening to Nickel Creek or Alison Krauss, but through them, you can discover Bill Monroe or Del McCoury and become fans of theirs, too."
A lot of the time, it's just him on the stage with his guitar. Hurst likes controlling the action, setting the pace and leading the audience on his own.
"For me, it's almost like a ride at an amusement park," he said. "Sometimes you want your head to snap around and sometimes you just want to take it easy, like on a riverboat."
Still, while he's been busy with his solo career, he hasn't quite given up on playing in bands. Over the past year or so, he said, he's played some as part of a trio with David Grisman (Old and In the Way, Earth Opera) and his son, as well as exploring other musical ensembles.
Hurst said, "I've also been doing some work with Rob Ickes, who won the International Bluegrass Music Association award for Dobro Player of the Year. He and I have been doing some duets. We might record something. We'll see. I guess who knows what tomorrow brings?"

The Fly Ash Threat
An aerial image before the Kingston, Tenn., ash slide on Dec. 22, 2008.
On Dec. 30, 2008, the Emory River is inundated with coal ash slurry after a containment pond ruptured.
Simple storage and loading would require new permitting and safety procedures if the EPA classifies fly ash as a hazardous material.
A microscopic view of the controversial material.
View PCA's response to the fly ash designation issue, "Fly Ash in Concrete-Benefits of Use and Impacts of its Designation as a Hazardous Waste."
The concrete industry as we k know it may be changing in response to an event that happened on Dec. 22, 2008.
At a Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) electric generating plant in Kingston, Tenn., one dike of a containment pond ruptured, spilling more than 5.4 million cubic yards of coal ash slurry. The Emory River was inundated and covered with more than 300 acres of wet fly ash. Cleanup is expected to cost more than $1 billion.
No one disputes this spill was a major engineering failure that led to a local environmental disaster. Four homes were destroyed and more than 20 were damaged. No one was injured and, despite dire predictions from environmental activists, water quality in the area did not significantly deteriorate. "All EPA, TDEC (Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation), and TVA water treatment facility sampling results … continue to meet water quality standards for drinking water," the TVA stated.
What is in dispute is what to do next. Spurred by cries of environmental activists to prevent such accidents, the long-term consequences of this accident, based more on politics than science, could change the way fly ash is used or disposed of in the U.S. for the foreseeable future. If fly ash is declared a hazardous waste, it is impossible to overstate the damage the concrete industry would suffer.
The EPA considers fly ash a nonhazardous waste material under Subtitle D of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). This means that individual states have jurisdiction over the material's storage and disposal. Environmental groups want this ruling changed so that fly ash is classified a Subtitle C hazardous wastes which would be regulated by the federal government.
This ruling has been true since 1980 under the so-called Bevill exclusion. This excludes "solid waste from the extraction, beneficiation, and processing of ores and minerals" from regulation as hazardous waste under Subtitle C of RCRA. In 2000, the EPA re-examined the situation.
Again it determined that coal combustion products (CCP, which includes fly ash, bottom ash, and flue-gas desulfurization material) were exempt to classification as a hazardous waste due to the desire to avoid placing "barriers on the beneficial uses of coal combustion waste so they can be used in applications that conserve natural resources and reduce disposal costs."
The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that almost half of the electricity generated in the U.S. comes from coal, resulting in about 130 million tons of CCP. About 55%, or 72 million tons, is fly ash. About half the fly ash generated is currently used for beneficial purposes, mostly in concrete. This beneficial use not only saves landfill space but reduces the amount of cement being produced and thus the amount of CO2 being generated.
The fly ash that isn't used, though, ends up in landfills or containment ponds. To handle the excess ash, some electric utilities mix it with water and pump the slurry into containment ponds. Unfortunately, these ponds have not always been well designed or maintained, which is what led to the Tennessee disaster and the current dilemma.
The EPA doesn't trust the states to properly regulate fly ash but has no legal way to regulate it federally other than to designate the material as hazardous under Subtitle C. This distrust prompted EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson to pledge during her confirmation hearing last January to come up with new disposal regulations for CCPs by the end of 2009.
Unfortunately for the nation, Jackson's pledge may have created a greater environmental problem than she intended. And while EPA has for many years promoted using fly ash, even sponsoring the Coal Combustion Products Partnership (C2P2) to increase its beneficial use, it now appears that some sort of hazardous designation is likely.
Using fly ash as a cement replacement is perhaps the single greatest contributor to making concrete more environmentally friendly. Concrete's greatest environmental liability is the inclusion of portland cement, with its energy-intensive manufacturing process.
The typical equation cited by PCA is that about one ton of CO2 is released for every ton of cement manufactured. Using fly ash in a concrete mix reduces the amount of cement needed, thereby reducing the carbon footprint while consuming an industrial waste product rather than sending it to a landfill. The Electric Power Research Institute estimates that beneficial use of CCPs annually saves 159 trillion Btu, 32 billion gallons of water, 11 million tons of CO2 released to the atmosphere, and 51 million cubic yards of landfill space.

Law enforcement officials from around Mississippi are meeting in Meridian this week at the annual Mississippi Sheriff's Conference. Topics include the use of radar, better training and national and state legislative issues.
This year's event began with an address from Adams County Sheriff Tommy Ferrell, the President of the National Sheriffs' Association. Ferrell said the job of local law enforcement has changed since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11.
Ferrell said these changes and the new issue of homeland security will require new ideas and new training methods to protect the quality of life of Americans. Lauderdale County Sheriff Billy Sollie also said training is a top priority for local law enforcement, and communication among the neighboring offices is key.
The sheriffs also face another challenge at this conference: radar use in traffic control. In Mississippi the sheriff's department in Lowndes County is the only one permitted to use radar, because of local-private legislation passed years ago. Sollie maintained radar is a necessary tool to curb speeding on county roads.
To this point, the legislature has not agreed and boards of supervisors have not petitioned for it.

Richie Sambora, who is sitting out of Bon Jovi's world tour, has broken his silence regarding his absence -- without actually giving the reasons why he's all but quit the band. Jon Bon Jovi revealed to The Evening Standard that not-discussing the reasons for Sambora playing hooky from the tour is getting tiring, explaining: "It's getting more and more difficult every day to not just sit here and say something. . . Because all I can say is this -- it's for personal reasons. He's been through it before, fortunately for us the same guy who filled in last time was available this time. Life goes on, so if someone chooses not to be here. . . unlike if this were, God forbid, The Edge, and he for some reason couldn't make a U2 show, (then) it would be very difficult to just step in."
Bon Jovi added: "You have a choice -- you either figure it out, go and grow, not only survive but thrive. Or, you say, 'I hate my brother and I'm gonna quit the band.'"
Sambora took the bait and in an exclusive interview with MailOnline, said, "I don't have any major problems in life right now, I love my fans and I feel bad for them at the moment. Bottom line. My opinion is Jon wants to see if he can pull off stadiums by himself. He is making it very difficult for me to come back. Enough with the trash talking!"
He went on to add: "Jon needs to stop talking about me publicly. I am fine working very hard on my fashion company Nikki Rich and this is a private matter.'"
This is the deal -- these guys gotta stop calling this a "personal" or "private" matter. It's the furthest thing from being that. Richie Sambora being too trashed to make a string of dates last Bon Jovi tour -- that was a BUSINESS matter. He had to call in sick to work. That's BUSINESS. Personal matters have nothing to do with huge corporations like Chrysler, Google -- or Bon Jovi. They just don't.
They should be honest and just tell the truth -- either Sambora's back on the bottle or he wants more money, or as equal a say as Bon Jovi -- because that's really it. It's one or more of those three things.
Whatever the issues are, they can't be that pressing. Sambora's looking pretty lame in all this. Jon Bon Jovi's making it hard for you to go to work playing stadiums??? Really??? In 1976 Keith Richards took the stage the night his infant son died; do you think whatever's troubling Richie about his multi-million dollar cake walk gig is more of a deterrent to taking the stage than that???
Could YOU do this at work??? Y'know, decide that you're just not gonna go anymore and still keep your job??? Bon Jovi, who maintains that he's just a hard-workin' Jersey guy, should fire his ass already. They look stupid.

Adding the finishing touches to your makeup application is an important part of the process. Without it, your cosmetics might lose some of their freshness, creating a messy appearance.

- Yaws, also known as framboesia or pian, caused by Treponema pallidum subsp. Pertenue;
- Endemic syphilis, also known as bejel, caused by T. pallidum subs. Endemicum;
- Pinta caused by T carateum.
All these infections often affect the skin and present skin lesions.
Bejel occurs principally in the Sahel region of Africa and Arabian Peninsula and pinta is restricted only to Latin America.

The Myth of Systems of Record vs. Systems of Engagement
Date: Tuesday, December 11, 2012
Many business people are familiar with Geoffrey Moore's dichotomy of "systems of record" and "systems of engagement." While this construct is a simple, clear way of categorizing software purpose and functionality, it doesn't reflect reality in most organizations. Every day, workers create business records within email, collaboration, and social networking applications. At the same time, they seek to communicate and work with others within the context of work processes supported by their organizations' back-end systems, including those used to manage content.
In this InformationWeek Webcast, Larry Hawes, principal at Dow Brook Advisory Services, will make the case for digital environments that provide the data and content, as well as the communication and collaboration tools, needed to perform specific tasks, while shielding most workers from the complexity associated with the capture and management of legal business records.

Port of Oakland to become major link in the transpacific cold chain
December 21, 2010
This week's announcement of a new ocean cargo service linking China to Oakland comes at a time when the port is making a remarkable outreach effort, with significant "cold chain" implications.
Just last month, The port and China Merchants Holdings International Company Limited (CMHI) entered into an agreement to strategically market and develop supply chain solutions for U.S. exports, particularly agricultural commodities and perishable products. A delegation from the Port of Oakland, led by First Vice President of the Oakland Board of Port Commissioners, Pamela Calloway, participated in a signing ceremony held at China Merchants' Hong Kong headquarters.
The focus was on enhancing warehousing and logistics facilities and creating seamless cold chain services for U.S. companies exporting their perishable products to China.
"The form and scale of this partnership is a first for the U.S. port industry," said Omar Benjamin, Port of Oakland Executive Director. "China is a significant and rapidly growing market for U.S. food and agriculture products, but the lack of cold chain services is inhibiting the export potential. Our initiatives will help make it easier, safer and faster to export U.S. commodities from California and distribute them throughout China

Scuba diving is quite a magnificent hobby to enjoy in Saint Lucia. From the shipwrecks to amazing reefs here at the Rendezvous couples resort, we offer a wide range of possibilities. One of our favorite dives – and probably the most adventurous dive we offer – is the night dive. So if you have never done it before, here is your chance.
A night dive is far from any daytime dive you have ever done for a few reasons. First of all - and most obvious; because it's pitch-black. This not only makes the whole thing more impressive, but you'll feel your adrenaline rising and your senses sharpen.
Although it's dark, you and your dive buddies' torches are enough to create a lit area, allowing you to see each other. The rest is pure darkness. Needless to say, the whole atmosphere is very special.
Of course a night dive wouldn't be that special if all you saw was darkness... Thankfully, the second reason why night dives are so amazing is because of the marine life you see. The fellows you usually don't see on regular daytime dives are out and about. Intrigued by our lights, they remain docile and do not flee. Lobsters, giant crabs, sleeping parrot fish, puffer fish, eels hunting… It's a wonderful scuba experience in an amazing environment.
Enough said; you'll have to check it out for yourselves! But bear in mind, a Rendezvous night dive wouldn't be what it is without the loads of fun we have on the boat, before and after... "What happens on the boat during night dives stay on the boat", so make sure to ask Chris or Cheldon, for "the Coconut joke", as they're sure to make your romantic vacation to the Rendezvous couples resort something to remember for the rest of your life!

HYATTSVILLE, Md. (WUSA) -- A man was shot in the stomach and backside overnight, according to police.
Hyattsville Police say shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday, two groups of known people pulled into the Shell gas station in separate cars on the 5300 block of Queens Chapel Rd. One of the vehicles was a red Toyota.
As the victim was getting out towards the on-site food mart, at least 19 shots were fired.
We're told an officer was in earshot of the gunfire. Police say a short time later, a woman drove herself to the hospital after getting shot in the hand and having a bullet grazed her lip. It's believed she happened to be at the scene of the crime when she was hurt by stray bullets.
Police are looking for a black, four-door compact car.

District Attorney's across the state were seeking the repeal of the Racial Justice Act and are now speaking out after Governor Perdue vetoed a bill to do that.
The governor says she vetoed the bill for the same reason she signed the Racial Justice Act two years ago. Perdue says the bill makes certain racial prejudice plays no part in imposing the death penalty in capital cases.
This veto means defendants can pull in statistics from anywhere in the state of North Carolina to try and prove racial discrimination in their own case.
District Attorney Ernie Lee from Onslow County says in his eyes- the decision by the governor was a bad choice. Lee says, "My position is- I mean, I'm very dissappointed with the governor's veto on this. Because I think every capital case, every death penalty case, ought to be individually considered based on the merits the facts, the circumstances of that individual case. It should not be based upon some overgeneralized possibly unrelaiable statistics from somewhere in the state of North Carolina."
Lee says of six defendants currently on death row right now in his four county district- all six of them have filed claims based on the Racial Justice Act.

New Rochelle, NY (Sports Network) - Lamont Jones led five teammates in double
figures with 16 points as the Iona Gaels brought down the Siena Saints at the
Hynes Athletics Center, 80-61, in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference
regular season finale.
Taaj Ridley and Curtis Dennis each had 14 points for Iona (17-13, 11-7 MAAC),

tallied 13 points, seven rebounds, five assists and four steals for the hosts,
while Sean Armand chipped in 11 points.

less than 27 percent shooting, as it took a 38-21 lead into intermission.
The Gaels actually improved upon their field goal efficiency in the second
half (.548) as they cruised to victory.
Iona forced 20 turnovers while committing only 10 miscues themselves.

Like James Blake needed more things to be pissed off about.
The American, who's returning from a 10-week layoff due to a knee injury and whose ranking now sits at No. 109, layed into resident soccer mom Pam Shriver after overhearing her commentary for ESPN during a critical point in his opening round match which he eventually lost. It happens around the 4:30 mark of the video.
The exchange goes a little something like this...
JB: "Amazing you used to play tennis. I can still hear you."
PS: "James just yelled at me . . . I'm way above the court, but evidently he can hear me. He's got rabbit ears."
JB: "You have to be an ass about it, too? . . . And act like I'm at fault."
PS: "And there he is, talking again. It's amazing. I had no idea."
But Pammy it seems you had an idea after he yelled at you the first time. And, the commentary you were providing wasn't exactly the kind you'd want to hear while you're going down to someone ranked even lower than you. Like No. 151 lower.
However, according to Busted Racquet she later admitted she was speaking loudly but stopped short of an apology.
Nice one, Pammy. You've now officially entered Michael Barkan territory. I wish you well.
UPDATE: More of Pammy's explanation via Doug Robson's piece for USA Today...
Reached later, Shriver explained that she had sought out shade in a new commentary position on Court 5 and didn't realize Blake could hear her. She called the incident "regrettable."
"As a commentator, you never want your voice to be heard," said Shriver, who doesn't believe that Blake could hear what she was saying but could detect her voice.
Shriver, a Hall of Famer who won 21 singles titles and 112 in doubles, said she understood an athlete's irritation when struggling.
"I've been there before. I get that part," she said. She added that neither she nor Blake owe the other an apology. "We were just doing our jobs," said Shriver, who said Blake could simply have instructed her to lower her voice. "I call it like I see it," she said. "I've irritated people before."

She seriously doesn't think she needs to apologize? Last time I checked, there's supposed to be silence during points and that goes for commentators too so if Blake (and perhaps Haase) could hear her, she was in violation of common tennis etiquette. Blake behaved like an a$$hole but she needs to admit she was in the wrong not just call the incident "regrettable."ReplyDelete

Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
February 28, 2005
Grenada is a parliamentary democracy, governed by a prime minister, a cabinet, and a unicameral legislature, with a governor general as titular head of state. In November 2003, Prime Minister Keith Mitchell's New National Party (NNP) won 8 out of 15 parliamentary seats in generally free and fair elections. The judiciary is independent.
The Royal Grenada Police Force is responsible for maintaining internal law and order and external security. Civilian authorities maintained effective control of the security forces. Some members of the security force committed occasional human rights abuses. Following Hurricane Ivan, the Regional Security Service (RSS) sent soldiers and police officers from other Caribbean nations to assist the police force with maintaining law and order. The RSS was present from September to December.
The free-market economy was based on agriculture and tourism. Grenada and 2 smaller islands, Carriacou and Petit Martinique, had a population of approximately 102,000. Hurricane Ivan damaged an estimated 90 percent of island houses, destroying 40 percent totally, and damaged 91 percent of the rain forest and the agricultural sector. The Caribbean Development Bank estimated that the economy contracted by 3.6 percent during the year.
The Government generally respected the human rights of its citizens; however, there were problems in a few areas, particularly continued violence against women and instances of child abuse.
1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom From:
a. Arbitrary or Unlawful Deprivation of Life
There were no reports of the arbitrary or unlawful deprivation of life committed by the Government or its agents.
b. Disappearance
There were no reports of politically motivated disappearances.
c. Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman, or Degrading Treatment or Punishment
The Constitution prohibits such practices, and there were no reports that government officials employed them. Flogging, a legal form of punishment, was rare but was used as punishment for sex crimes. The Police Commissioner continued to speak out strongly against police use of unlawful force.
Prison conditions generally met international standards, the Government permitted visits by independent human rights observers, and such visits occurred during the year. The main prison was damaged during Hurricane Ivan, and the authorities permitted some prisoners, including 15 of the "Grenada 17," to leave. The 15 prisoners returned at the end of each day, and the prison was repaired by year's end.
In September, RSS personnel reportedly used excessive force to stop a riot at the prison. According to press reports, inmates complained about beatings, broken limbs, and humiliation. A local attorney called upon the Government to investigate the charges.
d. Arbitrary Arrest or Detention
The Constitution prohibits arbitrary arrest and detention, and the Government generally observed these prohibitions.
The 830-person national police force, including an additional 200 rural constables, had a hierarchical structure and was generally effective in responding to complaints; however, lack of resources was a problem. While individual cases of corrupt or abusive police have been reported, there was no generalized problem of police corruption. In September, authorities accused five police officers of looting after the passing of Hurricane Ivan, and an investigation continued at year's end. The police investigated allegations of police brutality internally. The Police Commissioner can discipline officers (up to the rank of sergeant) in cases of brutality with penalties that include dismissal. Only the Public Service Commission can discipline officers with the rank of inspector or above. For several months following the passing of Hurricane Ivan, a temporary curfew was enacted, and RSS troops provided internal law enforcement assistance. By year's end, the curfew had been lifted, and all foreign troops had left the country.
The law permits police to detain persons on suspicion without a warrant, but they must bring formal charges within 48 hours, and this limit generally was respected in practice. The law provides for a judicial determination of the legality of detention within 15 days after arrest on a criminal charge. The police must formally arraign or release a detained person within 60 days, and the authorities generally followed these procedures. There was a functioning system of bail, although persons charged with capital offenses were not eligible. Persons charged with treason may be accorded bail only upon the recommendation of the Governor General. In practice, detainees were provided access to a lawyer and family members within 24 hours.
e. Denial of Fair Public Trial
The Constitution provides for an independent judiciary, and the Government generally respected this provision in practice.
The judiciary was a part of the Eastern Caribbean legal system. There were three resident judges who heard cases in the Supreme Court. An appeals court, staffed by a chief justice who traveled between the Eastern Caribbean Islands, heard appeals cases. Final appeal may be made to the Privy Council in the United Kingdom.
The law provides for the right to a fair public trial, and the authorities generally observed this right in practice. There is a presumption of innocence, and the law protects persons against self-incrimination and requires the police to explain a person's rights upon arrest. The accused has the right to remain silent and to seek the advice of legal counsel. A defense lawyer has the right to be present during interrogation and may advise the accused how to respond or not to respond to questions. The accused has the right to confront his accuser.
The court appoints attorneys for indigents only in cases of murder or other capital crimes. In other criminal cases that reach the appellate stage, the court appoints a lawyer to represent the accused if the defendant was not represented previously or reappoints earlier counsel if the appellant no longer could afford that lawyer's services. Assizes are held three times a year for a 2-month period. With the exception of persons charged with a killing and foreign-born drug suspects, the courts granted most defendants bail while awaiting trial.
In March, the Grenada High Court ruled unconstitutional the sentences given to 14 of the "Grenada 17," who were convicted for the 1983 murder of Prime Minister Maurice Bishop. In 1986, the 14 had been sentenced to death, which was commuted to life imprisonment in 1991. The High Court was set to re-sentence and possibly free the 14 until the Government appealed the decision to the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court; a decision was pending at year's end. A separate appeal was filed for the three individuals convicted of the murder who were not sentenced to death and who had been ordered released by the High Court in 2002. In 2003, Amnesty International (AI) classified the Grenada 17 as political prisoners based upon its findings that their original trial was unfair, and subsequent appeals manipulated for political reasons.
f. Arbitrary Interference with Privacy, Family, Home, or Correspondence
The Constitution prohibits such actions, and the Government generally respected these prohibitions in practice.
2. Respect for Civil Liberties, Including:
a. Freedom of Speech and the Press
The Constitution provides for freedom of speech and of the press, and the Government generally respected these rights in practice and did not restrict academic freedom.
The independent media were active and expressed a wide variety of views without restriction. There were four weekly newspapers, seven radio stations, and a private television station.
In May, the Government reportedly attempted to intimidate members of the press who reported on allegations of corruption against the Prime Minister. One journalist reportedly was threatened and later detained by the police after attempting to report the incident. The Media Workers Association of Grenada reported that the Government threatened to sue media outlets if they reprinted an article from an Internet journal on the corruption allegations. Both the Association of Caribbean Media Workers and the international Committee to Protect Journalists criticized the Government for seeking to intimidate the media.
The Government did not restrict access to the Internet.
b. Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and Association
The Constitution provides for freedom of assembly and association, and the Government generally respected these rights in practice.
c. Freedom of Religion
The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respected this right in practice.
For a more detailed discussion, see the 2004 International Religious Freedom Report.
d. Freedom of Movement Within the Country, Foreign Travel, Emigration, and Repatriation
The Constitution provides for freedom of movement within the country.
The Constitution does not address forced exile, but the Government did not use it.
The Government has not established a system for providing protection to refugees or asylum seekers. In practice, the Government provided protection against refoulement, the return of persons to a country where they feared persecution, but did not routinely grant refugee status or asylum. Although the Government provides temporary protection to individuals who may not qualify as refugees under the 1951 U.N. Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees or its 1967 Protocol, no one sought such protection during the year.
3. Respect for Political Rights: The Right of Citizens to Change Their Government
The Constitution provides citizens with the right to change their government peacefully, and citizens exercised this right in practice through periodic, free, and fair elections held on the basis of universal suffrage. General elections must be held every 5 years. In November 2003, the incumbent NNP administration of Prime Minister Keith Mitchell retained power by winning 8 of the 15 seats in Parliament in elections generally considered free and fair, but with some irregularities noted by the Organization of American States in several very close races. On March 19, the court ruled that one contested Parliament seat remain with the NNP.
There were several allegations of corruption during the year. In August, a Commission of Inquiry began to investigate whether Prime Minister Mitchell accepted money from a German citizen, reportedly in exchange for receiving a diplomatic title in the Government. The Prime Minister claimed the money was approved by the cabinet and was for legitimate trade promotion expenses. At year's end, the German citizen was imprisoned in a foreign country on fraud charges.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Ivan, government and opposition politicians criticized each other for attempting to politicize the distribution of relief supplies.
There was no law providing for public access to government information; however, citizens may request access to any information that is not deemed classified.
There were 4 women in the 15-seat Parliament; there were 4 women among the 12 appointed senators. There were six female ministers of government. Women filled 8 of the 13 permanent secretary posts, the highest civil service position in each ministry.
4. Governmental Attitude Regarding International and Nongovernmental Investigation of Alleged Violations of Human Rights
A number of domestic and international human rights groups generally operated without government restriction, investigating and publishing their findings on human rights cases. Government officials were cooperative and responsive to their views.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, launched in 2001 to investigate the period between the mid-1970s and the late 1980s, had still not presented its final report to the Government. There was public perception that the report never would be issued. The report was due to have been delivered in June. The Government did not react to AI's 2003 claim that the trial and sentencing of the 17 convicted leaders of the 1983 Revolutionary Government was flawed.
5. Discrimination, Societal Abuses, and Trafficking in Persons
The Constitution prohibits discrimination based on race, place of origin, political opinion, color, creed, or sex, and the Government generally enforced these provisions.
Women's rights monitors believed that violence against women remained a serious problem. The law prohibits domestic violence and provides for penalties at the discretion of the presiding judge based on the severity of the offense. In practice, the court enforced the law.
In September, RSS personnel reportedly traded hurricane relief supplies for sexual favors with women. The police confirmed receiving credible reports that such incidents occurred, including from the Grenada National Organization of Women.
The law prohibits rape and stipulates a sentence of 15 years' imprisonment for a conviction of any nonconsensual form of sex. Sentences for assault against a spouse varied according to the severity of the incident. A shelter accommodating approximately 20 battered and abused women and their children operated in the northern part of the island, staffed by medical and psychological counseling personnel.
Prostitution is illegal.
The law prohibits sexual harassment; there were no reported cases during the year.
Women generally enjoyed the same rights as men, and there was no evidence of official discrimination in health care, employment, or education. Women frequently earned less than men performing the same work; such wage differences were less marked for the more highly paid jobs. There were a number of active community based and political women's groups, such as the Grenada National Organization of Women.
The Government was committed to children's rights and welfare. The Social Welfare Division within the Ministry of Housing, Social Services, and Cooperatives provided probationary and rehabilitative services to youths, day care services and social work programs to families, assistance to families wishing to adopt or provide foster care to children, and financial assistance to the six children's homes run by private organizations.
Education was compulsory, free, and universal until the age of 16.
Boys and girls had equal access to medical care.
Government social service agencies reported a decrease in the number of reported child abuse cases, including sexual abuse. Abused children were placed either in a government-run home or in private foster homes. The Criminal Code suggests penalties ranging from 5 to 15 years' imprisonment for those convicted of child abuse and disallows the victim's alleged "consent" as a defense in cases of incest.
Trafficking in Persons
The law does not address trafficking in persons specifically; however, there were no reports that persons were trafficked to, from, or within the country.
Persons with Disabilities
The law does not protect job seekers with disabilities from discrimination in employment. The law does not mandate access to public buildings or services.
6. Worker Rights
a. The Right of Association
The law allows workers to form and join independent labor unions. Although employers are not legally obliged to recognize a union formed by their employees, they generally did so in practice. Labor Ministry officials estimated that 45 percent of the work force was unionized.
All major unions belonged to one umbrella labor federation, the Grenada Trades Union Council, which was subsidized by the Government.
b. The Right to Organize and Bargain Collectively
Workers exercised the legal right to organize and to participate in collective bargaining. The law requires employers to recognize a union that represents the majority of workers in a particular business. There are no export processing zones.
The law provides workers with the right to strike, and workers exercised this right in practice.
c. Prohibition of Forced or Compulsory Labor
The Constitution prohibits forced or compulsory labor, including by children, and there were no reports that such practices occurred.
d. Prohibition of Child Labor and Minimum Age for Employment
Child labor is illegal; however, children sometimes worked in the agricultural sector on family estates. The statutory minimum age for employment of children is 18 years. Inspectors from the Ministry of Labor enforced this provision in the formal sector by periodic checks; however, enforcement in the informal sector remained a problem.
e. Acceptable Conditions of Work
There is a tripartite Wages Advisory Committee, composed of union, business, and government representatives. The Labor Ministry prescribes minimum wages, which last were updated in 2002. Minimum wages were set for various categories of workers; for example, agricultural workers were classified into male and female workers. Rates for men were $1.85 (EC$5.00) per hour, and for women $1.75 (EC$4.75) per hour; however, if a female worker performed the same task as a man, her rate of pay was the same. All agricultural workers must be paid for a minimum of 5 hours per day. The minimum wage for domestic workers was set at $148 (EC$400) monthly. The minimum wage did not provide a decent standard of living for a worker and family. Most workers, including nonunionized workers, received packages of benefits from employers set by collective bargaining agreements between employers and labor unions. Many families received remittances from relatives abroad and also helped support themselves through garden-plot agriculture.
The Constitution provides for a 40-hour maximum workweek. The law does not prescribe a standard workweek; however, public sector workers are expected to work a 40-hour week Monday through Friday. The normal workweek in the commercial sector included Saturday morning work but did not exceed 40 hours. The law requires a premium for work above the standard workweek.
The Government sets health and safety standards, but the authorities enforced them unevenly. Workers have the right to remove themselves from dangerous workplace situations without jeopardy to continued employment.

Have you ever wanted to serve like a Serbian star? Well now you can...or at least read about how to serve like Ana Ivanovic.
The New York Times' Play magazine has a great piece by TENNIS magazine's Peter Bodo (probably the shortest article he's ever written) that takes you through the reasons why the 20-year old has such a solid serve. He interviews her coach Sven Groeneveld and the recently un-retired baller Brenda Schultz-McCarthy about the the Serb's strengths and the aspects of developing a consistent service motion.
The piece is accompanied by a video of Ana serving and an engaging animated step-by-step instructional (above) of a faceless Ana doing what she does best. It's pretty cool.

Huckabee clarifies remarks about school shooting and God
by Napp Nazworth
Newscast Media NEW YORK—After some controversial remarks about the shooting at Sandy Hook Elemetary School in Newtown, Conn., on Friday, Mike Huckabee sought to clarify his remarks. He was not saying that the shooting would not have happened if state-sponsored prayer were allowed in public schools, but was noting the irony of asking "where is God?" after a tragedy, but not talking about God at other times.
"We ask why there's violence in our school but we've systematically removed God from our schools. Should we be so surprised that schools have become such a place of carnage? Because we've made it a place where we don't want to talk about eternity, life, what responsibility means, accountability," Huckabee said on Fox News Saturday.
Later that night, Huckabee complained on his TV show, Fox News' "Huckabee," that liberals were accusing him of saying that the shooting would not have happened if the United States had prayer in schools. Arguing that he "said nothing of the sort," Huckabee explained that he was talking about a broader cultural shift in which discussions about God, faith and morality are considered only appropriated in religious institutions, not the public square.
"It's far more than just taking prayer or Bible reading out of the schools. It's that fact that people sue a city so we're not confronted with a manger scene or a Christmas carol, and lawsuits are filed to remove a cross that's a memorial to fallen soldiers. Churches and Christian-owned businesses are told to surrender their values under the edict of government orders to provide tax funded abortion pills. We carefully and
intentionally stop saying things are 'sinful' and we call them 'disorders.'
Sometimes we even say they are normal. And, to get to where we have to abandon bedrock moral truths, then we are asked, well 'where was God?' And I respond that, as I see it, we've escorted Him right out of our culture and we've marched Him off the public square and then we express our surprise that a culture without Him actually reflects what it has become," Huckabee said.
After the tragedy, God did show up, Huckabee said, in the teachers who sacrificed themselves to save their students, the hugs and tears of family members, the policemen who risked their lives, in the Church vigils, and "in the White House, where the president invoked His name and quoted from His book."
In the near future, after talk about the tragedy has subsided, Huckabee added, "we'll probably ask God to excuse Himself from view and we'll announce in our arrogant pride that we're now enlightened and educated, and we've evolved beyond needing Him."

I know this reveals my ignorance, but I need to get my trusted networks right for my whole network, which includes class C subnets connected by a VPN. Right now, my "Trusted Networks" line reads:
Obviously, 127.0.0.0/8 refers to the loopback local host, and without this the Zimbra mail client can't send mail (I found this out the hard way ). 192.168.0.0/24 refers to the local Class C LAN that is currently sending mail quite successfully, and 10.3.2.244/32 refers to the actual IP address of my mailserver on the DMZ, which I remember it needing but I don't at this moment remember why. . .I think maybe that was what I had to do to get mail to actually go to the outside world.Code:127.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/24 10.3.2.244/32
Anyway, what I want to do now is to enable two more subnets, 192.168.5.0/24 and 192.168.6.0/24, to the trusted networks. I don't know whether the correct way to do this is to change my middle string in the current trusteds to 192.168.0.0/8, or to add the other two subnets in the list. I think I tried once before to have more than three trusted networks in that field and the whole thing blew up, so that is also part of why I'm asking.
Thanks in advance,

General comments
CRCC members expressed support of this revision, submitted comments below, and I'm in general agreement as well; however, I'm concerned with the situation, at this point probably only theoretical, where a subsequent part or issue is issued online, but only for that issue or for a sequence of issues, or perhaps, be a regular or irregular pattern of some issued online and some not. The resource is never really going online permanently. I would not wish a cataloger, following this revision, to create a new description or descriptions each time the media type changed. -- Adolfo (CRS Liaison) 8-23-2012
CRCC members comments:
The proposal requests that an exception be made for serials whose media type is computer and the carrier type changes from a tangible computer carrier to an online resource.
Media type = Computer / tangible computer carrier ----> Media type = Computer / online resource
I think they should get a new description. I think if would make for a confusing record to have both online resources and tangible computer resources jumbled together. My question is what about the reverse? We all know that serials will do everything imaginable so what about when a serial is published as an online resource and then becomes a tangible computer resource? Shouldn't the exception cover the reverse situation? -- C. Genereux
I really like 6JSC/ISSN/1 -- S. Kelly
Also, since this is really considered necessary for work at ISSN centers, so that they can create new descriptions when new ISSNs are requested for serials changing from CD-Rom/tangible to online, I would support this change. Negatively, it will require more new descriptions in these cases for serials. I think also users often do not look for separate descriptions for serials or monographs, certain not in the catalog. They get confused with the often subtly different records we create, especially when serial records commonly have represented two different carriers, print and online, for some time. -- P. Fletcher
I think creating a new description/record when a CD-ROM changes to an online resource seems like it would correspond well to user expectations. -- R. Rendall
This seems eminently sensible to me. Now that I see it, I actually think it makes a lot of sense to split tangible and online into separate media types as ISSN initially proposed (which might be worth pursuing at some point since OLAC has some other issues with some of the less common carrier types). I do think it would be better if the rule were generalized to include the possibility (however unlikely) of a serial moving from online to some sort of tangible distribution model. As far as the issue of a serial changing to online for only a few issues, isn't that a more general issue? Couldn't a serial already change medium for only a few issues (say mixing up print and online or some other format)? I don't know if that is a problem with this proposal so much as the need for a general rule to exclude temporary or erratic variations in media type. --McGrath (OLAC) 8/28/12
