When Her Nine Newborn Puppies Were Buried Alive, Sheba Took the Law into Her Own Paws
Sheba, an 18-month-old Rottweiler, gave birth to nine multihued pups on Jan. 15 in Oakland Park, a suburb of Fort Lauderdale. Her owner, Bob Homrighous, 41, a pool-maintenance worker, was, according to police accounts, not thrilled.
"He dug a two-foot hole in the backyard," says Sgt. Sherry Schlueter, head of the Broward County sheriffs office animal abuse unit, "and got a paper sack. Sheba was confined by a chain or in a screened-in porch. He put the pups in the bag, then in the hole, put the earth back on top of them, tamped it down and walked away."
The next day, Sheba got free. A neighbor noticed her digging frantically in the yard. "Next thing you know," says Schlueter, 42, head of the animal abuse unit since 1982, "the neighbor saw her with a puppy that looked alive."
One by one, Sheba retrieved the pups, licking each one clean and depositing it in her doghouse. The neighbor, who has remained unidentified, helped dig up the last of the pups, then put them in a box to keep them warm. Another neighbor called police, and Schlueter impounded Sheba and her pups.
Dr. Cindi Bossart, a local vet who examined the puppies, says, "The only reason they survived is because they were in the paper bag, which probably made an air pocket, and because they were warm—they were on top of each other." Despite Bossart's best efforts, three of the puppies died from their ordeal.
Back at the house, Homrighous was trying to explain to the police what he had done. "He said he's from a farm, and that's how things work," says officer Jay Santalucia. "Well, that's not how things work around here."
Sheba and her surviving six puppies, still camping out at Bossart's office, are doing well, and Schlueter is fielding adoption offers from as far away as Europe. Because of the puppies that died, Homrighous—free on $3,600 bail—has been charged with three felony counts of aggravated animal abuse, charges that carry a maximum penalty of $30,000 in fines and 15 years in prison. Confinement in a paper bag is not considered an option.

Testing Rio's Waters Ahead of the Olympics
Water Pollution in Guanabara Bay Hasn't Affected a Sailing Regatta Competition This Week
RIO DE JANEIRO—Sailors participating in Rio de Janeiro's first prep event for the Olympics this week say water pollution hasn't affected competition, a major relief for local authorities who are struggling to clean up Guanabara Bay.
With just two years until the Olympic torch makes its South American debut, an international sailing regatta is giving organizers and many athletes a chance to test the bay's waters for the first time. Some say Rio is passing the test.
"It was pretty epic sailing out there today," Annalise Murphy, a 24-year-old Olympic veteran from Ireland who competes in the Laser division said Wednesday. "We had huge waves, nice wind, blue skies."
The regatta began on Aug. 2 and runs through Aug. 9. More than 300 athletes from 35 different countries, and 32 former Olympic medalists, are participating.
Waste from the 12 million people in Rio's metropolitan area has flowed largely untreated into the Guanabara Bay for centuries, leaving the bay's shorelines covered in garbage and most of its beaches unsafe for swimming due to high levels of fecal matter. To get ready for the Olympics, the state government is building sewage treatment facilities and trying to collect trash from the water.
Murphy said that while Guanabara Bay is still possibly the dirtiest place she has sailed—with brown, murky water and a particular abundance of plastic bags floating beneath the surface—it looks cleaner than during her first visit to Rio last year.
"I've noticed an improvement in the water quality," she said.
Reviews from the athletes like Murphy will likely ease one of the major concerns that local authorities and Olympics organizers have faced as they prepare for the 2016 Games. Officials including Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes have insisted that the planned Olympic sailing courses near the mouth of the bay are clean enough to host the event. But they aren't the ones getting in the water.
Competitors in this week's regatta waded waist-deep into the bay's Marina da Gloria, where the Olympic sailing event will be based, before hopping into their boats. Despite bits of trash lapping against the sea wall and a faint smell of sewage, sailors and coaches said the conditions were better than they'd anticipated.
"It's not nearly as bad as we would have expected from the media," says Genny Tulloch, a U.S. racer from San Francisco competing in the 49er FX division. "We haven't been affected in any of our races yet by trash or conditions on the race course. We haven't noticed it in training either, in an adverse way."
Joaquim Monteiro, head of the municipal agency in charge of coordinating the city's Olympics preparations, said the regatta has shown that Guanabara Bay is ready for the Games.
"It's very good to know that the sailors are having a positive experience," he said, adding that the bay will be "even better" in 2016.
Local officials have "assured" sailing's governing body that the water quality on the five race courses meets international standards, says Alastair Fox, a technical delegate from the International Sailing Federation. His bigger concern is detritus in the water that may damage boats or get caught on their foils, slowing racers down.
"To have an athlete's performance affected by objects in the water, we can't have that for an Olympic field of play," Fox said, adding that local authorities will need to do more to get the Guanabara Bay in shape for world-class competition.
Sailors say they have seen everything from furniture to dead animals floating in the bay. Pawel Kowalski, head coach of the Polish sailing team, said some athletes mistakenly thought they had spotted a corpse.
"It looked like a baby," he said. "Some of the girls were scared, but then someone picked it up and said, 'Oh, it's a doll.'"
Kowalksi and others also reported seeing an abundance of sea life, including dolphins and turtles, which helped ease their fears about pollution.
For the test event, Rio's state government has deployed "eco-boats" to motor around the bay's main channel scooping up trash, as well as "eco-barriers" to stop some of the inflow of garbage from tributaries. Governor Luiz Fernando Pezão said this week that he hopes to meet a goal from Rio's Olympic bid of treating 80% of the sewage that flows into the Guanabara Bay by 2016.
Some experts say that target is optimistic and likely depends on what qualifies as treatment. Alexandre Braga, executive secretary of the Guanabara Bay Basin Committee, an organization working to clean up the water body, doubts that half of the sewage currently flowing into the bay goes through even basic processing.
"As an engineer I don't understand that 80%," Braga says. "To reach an 80% level of all the different indicators of sewage, the job will take a decade and a half."

The British Advertising Standards Authority has banned an ad created by Donald Trump's Scottish golf course criticizing wind farms.
Trump built a high-end links in Balmedie, Scotland, and fears that the arrival of wind turbines nearby will spoil the view.
So he took out this ad, which uses a photo of California, not Scotland, and suggests that Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond sympathizes with the Libyan terrorists who brought down a Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie in 1988:
Trump International Gold Scotland
The ASA ruled that the Lockerbie reference was OK but the claim that tourism would suffer was unsubstantiated, and the ad must never run again.
(The ASA "bans" a lot of ads in the UK, often for frivolous reasons.)

Felony charge dismissed against Mount Holly manMay 02,2013Deadly weapon
charge dropped
Rutland County prosecutors have dismissed a Mount Holly mans charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
Months after Nathan M. Turco, 35, was charged with the felony offense, prosecutors dropped the charge as part of a plea deal in which Turco pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of simple assault.
Turco also admitted to violating his probation for a prior offense and was sentenced in March to serve 111 days in jail with credit for time served, according to court records.
Vermont State Police arrested Turco in November after an incident at a home on Shunpike Road in Mount Holly, where a 17-year-old told police that Turco held a knife to his throat and threatened him.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - New England linebacker Jerod Mayo will miss the rest of the season.
After tackling Darren Sproles, Mayo got up and reached for the upper right area of his chest. Mayo's agent, Mitch Frankel, did not respond to a request for comment on a report that Mayo had undergone surgery for a torn chest muscle.
The Patriots have also announced that they re-signed defensive tackle Andre Neblett and signed cornerback Travis Howard to the practice squad.

Warriors keep the Roosters honest in Auckland
A beautiful day in Auckland delivered some exciting action as the Roosters held on to win over the Warriors by 30-24.
Finally the Ericsson faithful were delivered the kind of football they hoped the Vodafone Warriors would produce as the home side pushed the Roosters for the full eighty minutes.
A very even contest, the score of 14-12 in favour of the Roosters at the halftime break promised to deliver an exciting second half in great conditions. And the fans from both sides were not disappointed with the two teams playing some great ad-lib footy.
In the end it came down to the Roosters making the most of the opportunities that came their way with the tries to Wing and Morley sealing the game for the visitors although the Warriors kept them on their toes until the very last play.
Stand out players for the Roosters were Crocker, Wing and Cayless while Jerome Ropati playing out of position at fullback was outstanding for the Warriors along with Iafeta Paleaasina, Monty Beetham and Awen Guttenbeil, along with Jones having a perfect day with the boot and netting over 500 career points
The Warriors now have their last home game against the Bulldogs while the Roosters are still in Minor Premier contention as they head into the last round up against the Eels.

CHICAGO -- The solution to the Yankees' starting pitching woes lies in going not to a six-man rotation, but to a one-man rotation.
Provided, of course, the one man is CC Sabathia and each of his starts is followed by four days of rain.
Monday night at U.S. Cellular Field, a night so steamy jockeys could have made weight just by sitting in the stands, Sabathia toiled through eight innings of two-run ball to earn his major league-leading 16th win.
It wasn't easy, it wasn't pretty and it certainly wasn't dry -- the temperature at first pitch was 85 degrees, with humidity to match -- but by a combination of defense, determination and Dunn, as in Adam, Sabathia was able to muddle through despite allowing 10 hits, tying his season high.
"I had to battle a little bit tonight," Sabathia said. "It was tough out there. It was humid. There was some thick air. I wouldn't say I struggled, but I felt it tonight."
Pitching just a couple of hours after Joe Girardi acknowledged the tough choice ahead of him -- Phil Hughes or Ivan Nova, starting rotation or bullpen -- Sabathia went out and gave the manager and his bullpen a much-needed breather.
Staked to a 2-0 first-inning lead cobbled together on three infield hits and Curtis Granderson's RBI double to right, Sabathia benefited from three double plays, two of which featured excellent work from Robinson Cano, and one sparkling over-the-shoulder catch, also by Cano, on a pop fly that seemed headed for no-man's land just inside the foul line in short right field.
The three DP's snuffed out burgeoning Chicago threats, and the catch of the pop fly eliminated a baserunner who probably would have scored when the next hitter, A.J. Pierzynski, doubled into the right-field gap.
And after Alexei Ramirez (batting .421 versus Sabathia in his career with eight hits in 19 at-bats) belted a two-run homer in the fourth, little could anyone have suspected that a fourth double play, this one also involving Cano, would wind up being the difference in the game. That one, which Cano hit into in the third, plated the Yankees' last run in what turned out to be a 3-2 victory.
"It was one of those nights when the fielders were in the right spots," Girardi said.
In actuality, it was a beautifully pitched ballgame on both sides. The Yankees made Jake Peavy, Sabathia's Chicago counterpart, work, but after the first inning, they never made him pay, and despite needing 80 pitches to navigate the first four innings, Peavy righted himself to get through seven on a tidy 115.
The wild card in the game turned out to be Dunn, with 364 home runs and five straight 40-homer years on his résumé, who this year is struggling at .162. Even worse, he came into the game with just three hits in his previous 73 at-bats against left-handed pitchers. He left with three hits in his past 77 at-bats against lefties and three more strikeouts to extend his American League-leading total to 137.
Worst of all for the White Sox, in two instances he came up late in the game with runners on base, and both times looked like a man trying to kill mosquitoes with a sledgehammer.
"He's just been having a tough year," Sabathia said diplomatically. "Still, you don't want to make mistakes. You don't want to get lazy and make a pitch that you'll regret."
The real truth, however, was spoken on the mound in the eighth inning with Carlos Quentin at bat. According to Sabathia, one of his teammates advised him, "not to give in, because you got Dunn up next."
Quentin singled, but as he had in his two previous at-bats, Dunn fanned on a slider, ending the inning and Chicago's final threat.
Charging off the field, Francisco Cervelli pumped his fist repeatedly in sharp contrast to the unflappable, almost emotionless Sabathia.
"That's why we work so well together, because of that combination," said Sabathia, who has thrown to Cervelli in 10 of his past 18 starts. "He's got a lot of energy and comes up to the mound a lot, makes sure I'm finishing pitches and trying to be aggressive."
Not every Yankees pitcher is a fan of Cervelli's enthusiastic personality -- on the Yankees' last trip to Chicago, to play the Cubs in June, Freddy Garcia said Cervelli "needs to calm down a little" -- but he seems the perfect antagonist to Sabathia's laid-back demeanor.
"That's just me," Cervelli said. "I try to keep him in the game all the time. Everybody has to know it's not against the other team or the hitters, it's just me, my adrenaline. I love to play the game."
And the Yankees clearly love to play behind Sabathia, who after benefiting from some of the best run support in the league, more than 7.5 runs per game at one point this season, has had to manage with just 13 in his past five starts.
Still, he has managed to win four of them, including a complete game shutout against the Rays on July 10.
"That's just CC and how he's pitched," Girardi said. "He knows how to get outs when he needs to get outs, and that was what he did tonight. He's a true ace."
Enough of the mishegoss over Hughes and Nova and Bartolo and Freddy, who pitches when, who pitches where and who throws to whom.
Why can't the Yankees just simplify this to its most effective component?
Pitch CC every night from now to the end of the World Series.
NOTES: Granderson had two doubles, scored two runs to extend his MLB-leading total to 96 and drove in another to tie Mark Teixeira for the team lead with 79. ... Mariano Rivera pitched a clean ninth inning, with one strikeout, to notch his 28th save of the season. ... Girardi said he expects Derek Jeter, who sat out the game with a bruised middle finger on his right hand after being hit by a pitch Sunday, to play Tuesday. ... Hughes, possibly pitching to salvage his place in the rotation, takes his 1-3 record and 8.24 ERA in against LHP John Danks (4-8, 3.79) on Tuesday night, first pitch at 8:10 p.m. ET.

Drain those sinuses!
So, these two mothers and some of their children are sitting in the stands and the one friend complains to the other about her cold and is blowing her nose and all. The cute little 5 year old 'trained' patient of mine, spontaneously reaches over and starts massaging her friends' sinuses to help her.
The mother of the 'massagee' asked the 'massager's' mother "What is your daughter doing to mine?" She then had to explain the sinus drainage technique and the why behind it! Great story or what? Are kids awesome or what?
Here are the basics of the sinus drain technique:
1.Using moderate pressure, use thumbs starting in the middle of the forehead (frontal sinuses) and push laterally or sideways towards the ears, repeat 2-3 times (especially if you feel a lot of 'gunk' or mucus underneath).
2.Start with thumbs on either side of the middle of the nose (maxillary sinuses) and again push sideways towards the ears as in step #1.
3.Start with thumbs under jaw and in front of big neck muscle (SCM-sternocleidomastoid) and push down towards collar bone.
This will help sinuses and eustachian tubes to drain, whether you are 1, 5, or over 50...and even a 5 year old can master it and do it on a friend!
Other sinus-mucus tips:
1.Avoid dairy (adds mucus that you don't want)
2.Do the "C" (vitamin C that is...lots of it...depending on one's size: 500-1000-2000mg at a time
2-3 times a day).
3.Use saline solution and squirt it up the nostrils (not for the faint hearted, but very helpful)
Good luck!

Hey - this really seems to work. I'm a 58 year old British man writing from London and I've had sinus headache problems for years. Prescribed fluticasone (flonase) last year - seemed to help for a time but now the headaches are back. I've got 58 bookmarks about headaches on my PC but Dr Bill, you might be the first person to really help. Thanks very much!

Can you explain the physiology behind this? How can massaging the outside of a bony cavity affect the mucous drainage inside the cavity? I'm interested, but more than skeptical.

There are small holes called foramen in the skull which lead to the sinuses. Fluid is pulled out by the pressure of moving the fluid already outside the skull like when something is siphoned. The fluid pushed around the skull exits through lymph. I'm kinda of guessing though. But, the foramen are a definite.

IMMEDIATE RESULTS! I am very prone to sinus infections. I've been stuffy and congested for a few days now. But today, I started googling random things because the pressue in my maxillaries was nearly unbearable; my entire face felt like I'd been wearing a huge silly grin for hours. With just a few swipes of Step 2, the fluid sitting there began to disperse, the pressure was relieved, I can breathe more easily and my face relaxed. I don't know if this is a temporary patch or if it will help me to get over this infection more quickly, but either way I am so GRATEFUL for the relief. Thank you so very much for this post!

This is great! It'd be even better with a picture of sorts, or a video, because when you're tired, it's difficult to try and find places on yourself...

All my coworkers got flu shots, and now they have colds and stomach viruses and all sorts of ick, so I've had to keep my defenses up!

#1 this "article" is not from a doctor.
#2 massaging FLESH in FRONT of BONE on the FOREHEAD to relieve sinus pressure claiming that fluid between the flesh and foramina will siphon the snot out of there is like giving advice as to which household substances work best to jack off a unicorn; plain stupid, just illogical, a fantasy..
#3 sticking your dick in a hot light socket will yield the exact same results, but you don't see children doing this too often (at least ones who passed natural selection)
#4 advising one stay away from dairy to alleviate *sinus* problems? i'm sorry, did you get into your child's adderall when you came up with this one?
#5 i am appalled, albeit not surprised, that many of you claim this to be working; proof that housewives are prone to psychosomatic remedies.
#6 having 1-3 orgasms per day cures unnecessary menopausal bitchiness in housewives. buy a vibrator
#7 lymph nodes are not in any way connected to your sinuses. lymps don't exist to fill your facial cavities with snot, sorry.

@ I_cant-tolerate-stupidity
Ah! Thank heavens for the "skeptic" and his staggering intellectual superiority.
You can tell he's intellectually superior because:
1) He is, by his own admission, intolerant. (A sure sign of higher mental function.)
2) He is a rampant misogynist. (All elevated minds think that women - especially "housewives" - are dumb, delusional and sexually frustrated.)
3) He uses offensive language. (All members of the intellectual Master Race do this.)
4) He ignores reported evidence (albeit anecdotal, but all science begins with anecdotes) in favour of knowing all the answers in advance. Only first-rate thinkers do this.
Well, there you go. We should all be deeply honoured that such a towering intellect has graced this comments thread with his presence - especially those menopausal sex-starved delusional housewives.
And as for trying this dangerous sinus technique - well, it's probably going to kill you. (We all know how horrendously dangerous face massage is.) Go and see a proper MD and have some of those lovely drugs. (Sinusitis being caused, of course, by a lack of patentable pharmaceuticals.)

The last 2 months have been a constant issue. Have been massaging the sinuses but haven't run a salt water solution. I ended up giving it a go and it worked. No video but if you make a cup of lukewarm water with a teaspoon of salt and dissolve.
If your left side is causing the issues:
1. Tilted your head to the left
2. With a teaspoon of salt water snort up your left nostril
3. Keep your head tilted to the side as this will let the liquid flow through the sinus passage. Repeat ( I repeated 5 times). The relief was within minutes and all the associated aches faded after 15 minutes.
4. Do this daily.

Duplicate backup job targeted to a Library Partition does not appear under BE->Storage->Library Partition[xx..xx]->Jobs
In Backup Exec 2012, I have a FULL backup to dedupe ( or local disk ) and duplicate to a Library Partition. I see this job in BE-->Storage Tab-->Dedupe( or Local Disk )-->Jobs, however it does not appear in BE-->Storage tab-->Library Partition-->Jobs. The job will appear in BE-->Storage Tab-->Library Partition-->Jobs only when a FULL backup is targeted to a partition. If FULL backup is targeted to DISK (or Dedupe) and Duplicate is targeted to a Library Partition then it won't appear there under Library Partition in the Storage Tab. In that case the job will appear under Disk / Dedupe under Storage Tab.
It appears to be by design but it would be nice if these jobs appear under targeted Library Partitions as well regardless of whether the FULL backup is going to disk or dedupe.

Best and Worst Films Listed in Rotten Tomatoes' 2007 "Mid-Year Report"
- Wed Jul 18, 2007, 9:20 AM GMT
Rotten Tomatoes' has named "Ratatouille" and "Because I Said So" the best- and worst-READ MORE
The talk of the 2006 Cannes International Film Festival and the latest film from critically acclaimed visionary director BONG Joon-ho, THE HOST has already garnered a substantial amount of international buzz. Utilizing state-of-the-art special effects, courtesy of a creative partnership between Weta Workshop (King Kong, The Lord of the Rings) and The Orphanage (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Sin City), THE HOST is both a creature-feature thrill ride and a poignant human drama.
Gang-du (Song Kang Ho) works at a food-stand on the banks of the Han River. Dozing on the job, he is awakened by his daughter, Hyun-seo (Go Ah Sung), who is angry with him for missing a teacher-parent meeting at school. As Gang-du walks out to the riverbank with a delivery, he notices that a large crowd of people have gathered, taking pictures and talking about something hanging from the Han River Bridge. The otherwise idyllic landscape turns suddenly to bedlam, when a terrifying creature climbs up onto the riverbank and begins to crush and eat people. Gang-du and his daughter run for their lives, but suddenly the being grabs Hyun-seo and disappears back into the river.
The government announces that the monstrous thing apparently is the Host of an unidentified virus. Having feared the worst, Gang-du receives a phone call from his daughter who is frightened, but very much alive. Gang-du soon makes plans to infiltrate the forbidden zone near the Han River to rescue his daughter from the clutches of the horrifying Host?

If you would like to read Jemele Hill's original article about the cover photo, you can do so here.
In the spring of 2008, Vogue released a cover featuring LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen. Bundchen wore a blue-green strapless dress that wrapped around and stuck to her like loose cellophane. Her shoulder blade-length golden hair was blowing back and she was smiling like any model who has just found herself on the cover of Vogue. Her glamor and grace was in complete contradiction to James, who was dressed as if ready for basketball practice, complete with high-top basketball shoes, gym shorts, and a sleeveless shirt. His back and knees were slightly bent, causing him to hunch slightly forward as he yells threateningly at the camera. All this he does as he is dribbling a basketball in one hand, and loosely holding Bundchen's waist in the other. In contrast to Bundchen's pleasant smile and appearance, James looks intimidating and angry, an uncommon image for Vogue.
The argument made by Jemele Hill, a columnist for ESPN.com's Page 2, is that this image portrays LeBron James, a black athlete, in a stereotypical bestial pose, and that this stereotype has lived in American culture, unchecked, for too long. She went on to compare the cover to an old poster for "King Kong" where an incredibly large and intimidating ape clutches his beautiful blond love interest.
Hill's statement may be correct if the stereotype were to be so ingrained in my subconscious that I was unable to recognize the image in that light until she exposed it. Still, I highly doubt that this was the case. On the other hand, I am not one who generally reads too deeply into the meanings of photographs. My initial thoughts upon my brief glance at the cover image was the indifference of seeing LeBron James on yet another magazine cover, and wondering if there are any magazines on which he has not been. I asked some knowledgeable artistic friends who had not heard about this article what they thought about the image. Neither saw the "King Kong" similarities, and both came to the conclusion that it most likely showed the contrast between the perceived notions of masculinity and femininity.
Hill admits that perhaps the photo is supposed to show that contrast, or perhaps that of brawn and beauty, or strength and grace, but claims that Vogue would not have asked white athletes like Brett Favre, Steve Nash, or David Beckham to strike their best beast pose for the masculine role. Perhaps she feels that Vogue would not ask a white athlete to strip down for a fashion magazine, because they would fail to supplement such a bestial role. But I am certain that, even though it may not have the same racial undertones, high profile white athletes such as football player Brian Urlacher, wrestler John Cena, or any veteran hockey player could easily have slid into James's shoes for this role.
It is noted in Hill's argument that having a shirtless black male athlete on the cover of a magazine has become a fashion staple reinforcing the idea that black athletes are blessed with physical characteristics, not mental ones. While it does reinforce this idea about black athletes, it also reinforces this idea about all athletes of any race. With the exception of on field intelligence that is necessary in all positions but is best known for quarterbacks, point guards, and catchers, there are not many athletes that are heralded for their intellectual strengths. While one could argue that Muhammed Ali did more than just box to inspire people, that Yogi Berra's confusing quotes were filled with scrambled wisdom, and that Lynn Swan has done just as many great things as a politician as he did in any Super Bowl, getting to know an athlete for their off field feats are why we read interviews and biographies, and cannot often be seen in photographs.
Hill believes that James should be more careful with the way he allows his image to be used, but he and many of the NBA's young black stars have been making great strides to change the way that the players and their league are viewed. Gone are the days of the Portland "Jail Blazers," the Latrell Sprewell choking incident, and the Jayson Williams limousine driver shooting. Now we have a league of young, likable, good character players like Chris Paul, Chris Bosh, and Kevin Durant who will be representing the United States alongside LeBron James at the Olympics. The league has become more likable and fan friendly than it has in a long time, and I do not believe that this magazine cover has done anything to tarnish the image of those players or the league in which they play.
Perhaps Vogue and James should have gone in a different direction than they did for this cover shoot, and it would have been more appropriate for James to have been dressed in a fashionable suit as he is often seen when not on a basketball court, but I believe that most people were not affected by the image in the same way as Hill. The racial undertones come off as unintentional, especially when there are so many other forms of symbolism the picture. Our society has done a remarkable job in a short amount of time of looking past racial stereotypes. Perhaps it is a credit to all of us when I say that Vogue has done nothing wrong by featuring this photo on the cover of their magazine.

The Bank of Japan's new chief on Thursday said he would not hesitate to take "other necessary steps" to boost the nation's limp economy, after unveiling a raft of fresh monetary easing measures.
Following his first meeting as central bank governor, Haruhiko Kuroda also said the BoJ was "resolved to take whatever measures we can think of" to hit a two percent inflation target aimed at reversing decades of falling prices.
"We have taken all necessary measures this time," he told a news briefing.
"Of course, the economy and finance are living things. We will not hesitate to take other necessary steps when needed."
Kuroda, who was installed as the bank's new governor last month, added that the new-look BoJ's policy would be "unprecedented in its scale and quality".
"We are resolved to take whatever measures we can think of to achieve two percent (inflation) in about two years," he said.
The bank said Thursday it would embark on an aggressive spending programme and jack up the amount of money in circulation, while pledging to meet the inflation target as part of its battle to reverse falling prices.
The BoJ's previous management has been criticised for being too timid in its efforts to boost the world's third-largest economy.

Traffic Talk: In summer, many new drivers leave training, hit the road
Think back to when you first began driving. Remember how excited you were?
It may be that you just slid in behind the steering wheel and turned the key as Dad, Mom or some other licensed driver rode shotgun on the passenger side.
Or maybe it was taking your turn in driver's ed, with the instructor beside you, watching every move.
"Adjust your seat, fasten your seat belt," the instructor says. "Adjust your mirrors and make sure the vehicle is not in gear. Now, put the key in the ignition."
Finally, you're ready to start the engine and drive, right?
And you did ... quickly hitting the brakes as your heart bumped up against your chest wall.
"Did you check around you in all directions? Did you signal or need to? Are you actually ready to go?"
You thought: "Well, I would be, if you would quit barking orders at me."
It wasn't that the instructor didn't like you. It was a matter of preparation. You have to be prepared.
My granddaughter, who now is driving, told me recently that one of the toughest things she had to do before she got that all-important permit was wait. She and her dad, my son, apparently sat in line two hours at a Department of Public Safety office before she walked out with her permit.
I told her that was not unusual these days, particularly in the summer months, when so many young people are either going for their permits or for a new license. There are literally thousands more potential drivers out there than when I went through the process. My wait was measured in minutes, hers in hours.
Driving instructors and public safety officials tell me that the increased numbers of license applications often force waits of more than two hours now. When you're waiting at a driver examination location, it could be even longer.
And don't forget that more drivers in training eventually translates to more drivers on roadways. That's a scary thought. That many more drivers — inexperienced at this point — traveling on our streets and highways at speed, with just a few feet separating us from them. Talk about a trust factor ...
Here's hoping that those young drivers were trained well, learned the dos and don'ts, know the laws and will follow them. Here's praying that they really ARE ready to go.
By the way ...
A friend told me his son, also a new driver, has been given a three-turn rule before he even thinks about starting the car. He describes it as "turn down the volume, turn off the phone and turn on your thinking cap."
Makes sense to me.
Enjoy your week and drive safely.

Does your application prompt users for their username and password or does it have one listed in the configs somewhere to access fas? I'm not familiar with the .fedora_session format, does it store everyone's sessions? I'm asuming that if someone had access to it they'd be able to become whoever was logged in at that time. Probably to other applications as well. I'd like to hear Toshio's advice on this, I believe he's the primary architect of how .fedora_session should behave -Mike

Rod Blagojevich has said she hopes her husband will win his freedom and that he could return home to rejoin her and their two school-aged daughters. Patti Blagojevich spoke Friday to reporters after attending a Chicago hearing to hear oral arguments in her husband's appeal of his corruption conviction. The Accidental Celebrity: Patti Blagojevich's Family & Friends Rally as Her Husband's Trial Looms By Kristy Kennedy • Apr 1, 2010 WUIS/Illinois Issues News trucks with their bright lights clogged the street in front of the Blagojevich home as helicopters flew overhead. Meanwhile, Patti's brother, Richard Mell, noted that the street outside his bungalow was quiet. No one knew or cared where he lived. The Blagojevich girls — Amy, 12, and Annie, 5 — were coming for dinner to escape the media circus caused by their father's arrest. "I made pot roast," Richard says. "It was a nice warm environment."
