The Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam ("TGTE") has nominated a panel of five legal experts to monitor the design and implementation of the transitional justice mechanisms in Sri Lanka, including the judicial measures to investigate and prosecute war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide ("Monitoring Accountability Panel" or "MAP").
Following the Report of the OHCHR Investigation on Sri Lanka, dated 16 September 2015, and the UN Human Rights Council Resolution on 'Promoting reconciliation, accountability and human rights in Sri Lanka,' dated 1 October 2015, the Sri Lankan Government undertook to establish accountability mechanisms to address the crimes committed during the Sri Lankan armed conflict. These will include a special criminal court with foreign judges and prosecutors.
The MAP will provide independent monitoring, advice, and recommendations, focusing on the effectiveness of accountability measures from a victims' perspective. It will also consider issues of fair trial and due process for suspects and accused persons. The views and recommendations of the Panel will enable victims and other stakeholders to participate more effectively in the process and thus enhance the legitimacy of the measures.
The MAP shall formulate its opinions independently – irrespective of party political considerations or the agenda of any specific group (including the TGTE) – according to the interests of fair justice, applying international standards and best practices. The initial mandate of the Panel shall run from November 2015 to December 2016.
The Members of the Monitoring Accountability Panel have been selected for their legal expertise in international criminal law and human rights, national war crimes courts, and regional criminal cases. The Panel Members (in alphabetical order) are:
- Marie Guiraud (France)
- Peter Haynes QC (UK)
- Richard J Rogers (UK)
- Heather Ryan (USA)
- Justice Ajit Prakash Shah (India)
- Geoffrey Robertson QC will act as a consultant to the Panel, providing additional independent advice.

William Hill is one of the largest bookmakers on the market with £18bn in stakes in 2011. Bettors can make wagers online, in shops, on the phone, or through mobile applications – with the latter being the fastest growing medium. The site has a presence in the U.K. as well as internationally, which can be useful for punters who frequently travel. William Hill offers odds on horse races in the U.K., Europe, United States, South Africa, Australia, and the rest of the world.

The site covers meetings in the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and the rest of the world.
Paddy Power offers a price guarantee on all UK and Irish horse and greyhound racing. The site is unique in that it offers 'Faller Insurance' where you can get your money back if your horse falls. There's also the option of betting 'Without the Favourite' so a punter can win if one's horse beats the favourite or comes 2nd after the favourite. The site makes available statistics of horses, jockeys and trainers, including wins, courses, etc., in order to help you make better wagering decisions.
Sky Bet differentiates itself by being affiliated with Sky Broadcasting Group. That enables the site to offer live betting and live streaming of events to users.

Christian Scott: Anthem (Antediluvian Adaptation)
Anthem (Antediluvian Adaptation)
Christian Scott (cornet)
Anthem (Concord 30209)
Christian Scott (cornet), Matt Stevens (guitar), Aaron Parks (piano), Luques Curtis (bass), Marcus Gilmore (drums).
Composed by Christian Scott.
Recorded: Berkeley, California, January 26-30, 2007
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
Young, bold, and loquacious, New Orleans born trumpeter Christian Scott is a breath of fresh air to modern jazz. At a time when too many cookie-cutter groups fight for club dates, Scott is forging his own path, his hybrid compositions informed and influenced as much by hip-hop and indie rock as they are the jazz tradition. Anthem, his vociferous response to the social and political devastation left in Hurricane Katrina's wake, is as emotive as it is edgy and is one of most thrilling records of recent years.
Do not be misled by the title "Anthem (Antediluvian Adaptation)" — this is not the quiet before the storm. Pianist Aaron Parks' ferocious left-hand bombs and pulsating chords are intense and ominous, and Stevens' distorted guitar moans enigmatically, relating more closely to Radiohead than Wes Montgomery. Scott sings out in long, airy tones on his cornet; over the explosive rhythm his plaintive, detached cries speak more than any flurry of notes ever could. Highly recommended.

Dick Harmon: 5 unsung Utahns played a critical role in the death of the BCS
Doug Benc, ASSOCIATED PRESS
On a quiet Sunday morning a few months ago in Orem, I turned and saw Matt Sanderson in the back of the church building.
He was there for the blessing of a newborn baby in the Sanderson clan. Nobody outside of his family knew who he was. He looked just like another Mormon guy in a suit and tie sitting in the back.
But I knew.
The University of Utah graduate is a Washington, D.C., lawyer — a famous one. He helped bring down the BCS, a system that took its last breath Monday night in Pasadena, Calif.
I had to shake his hand.
Sanderson is a guy who simply cared and was unafraid to use his legal skills to do something about an injustice he saw as un-American. In 2011, his Playoff PAC was nominated for Sports Illustrated's Sportsman of the Year award for its anti-BCS work.
"I'm glad it's over," Sanderson said Wednesday. "I'm happy the BCS is done and I think we proved in a few significant ways a playoff will make a difference, that more championships will be decided on the field rather than by pundits."
Sandersen helped found Playoff PAC to fight for a college playoff by exposing the failings of the elite BCS and its cronyism. The other co-founders — Matthew Martinez, Chad Pehrson, Bentley Peay and Bryson Morgan — are all Utah natives. Their efforts made the front page of The New York Times and other top media outlets.
In untold thousands of hours devoted to this task, these Utahns played a key role in changing the face of college football from what it was — an unpopular ruse — to something yet to be determined.
Florida State's win over Auburn Monday night was one of the best BCS championship games of all 16. It was exciting, dramatic, filled with heroics and a Heisman Trophy winner who delivered. It was a great finale.
But if you teleport yourself out and look at the big picture, the masses judged the BCS unpopular by a large consensus. It stunk because its foundation was made of well-intentioned greedy rot.
The BCS was always designed to benefit certain conferences, especially the elite SEC. It was specifically designed, with its secret computer formulas, to exclude. By its bylaws, it specifically picked out automatic qualifiers from six conferences — others could go fish until Congress got involved. And that's when Utah became the first BCS buster in 2004.
The BCS drew the ire of many college coaches and fans over its span of 16 years. But it enriched certain bowl directors and the establishment that created it to make profits and enhance the select blessed.
Led by Roy Kramer, an SEC die-hard elite, the BCS used three computer rating systems when it started and added five more in 1999. To make it more elite, it added a strength of schedule category in 2001. In 2002, margin of victory was cut from the formula after much criticism. It no longer encouraged a potential BCS-ranked team to win 82-10 over a cupcake.
The BCS kept evolving, trying to appear credible. But it was running on a treadmill.
In October 2010, Sanderson, who grew up in Orem, debated Kramer face to face over the BCS issue at Boston College. I had Sanderson winning easily.
The BCS era is over for two reasons. First, there was a cry for a playoff. Second, there is more money to be made.
When Yahoo.com columnist Dan Wetzel co-wrote a book that trumpeted just how massive the financial fleecing of universities by bowls had become, and how out-of-whack the BCS system had operated, public opinion continued to erode.

Luxury Cruise Yacht Victim of Pirate Attack
(April 5, 3:30 p.m.) -- The hijacked ship has landed in northern Somalia. The ship is still being watched by a French frigate, but the French government does not want to use force if it will endanger the lives of the crew members onboard. In previous cases of hijacking off Somalia, the pirates have demanded a ransom once the ship has reached port. There has been no communication from the pirates as of yet, but the French authorities are on alert.
(April 5, noon) -- Le Ponant, the French-owned 64-passenger sailing yacht that was hijacked yesterday by pirates, is still under their watch. The ship, which was sailing between Somalia and Yemen's Aden when it was seized, was carrying no passengers but 30 crew members are aboard.
According to a report from the Associated Press, France's military is hoping to avoid a violent showdown and is tracking the vessel's travels via a frigate that's in the area. As well, a French military airplane has flown over the ship and told government officials that all seemed calm, at least from above.
The ship was transitioning between the Seychelles, where it had completed a series of cruises, and Alexandria, where it was slated to begin its Mediterranean season. The next cruise is slated to depart on April 19.
We'll keep you posted.

Liam Lawrence admits he doubted whether Barnsley could stay up before the last four matches but now insists that they will win their fight against relegation to League One despite Tuesday's loss to Burnley which left them five points adrift of safety.
The 32-year-old midfielder had barely featured for the Reds after arriving in January until he starred in the wins at Reading and Yeovil. He said: "Before the Reading game, I was pessimistic about our chances and disappointed with my time at Barnsley but now I believe we can do it because we have played very well recently. "We got the wins at Reading and Yeovil then should have had another one against Brighton on Saturday but we drew 0-0.
"Our confidence took a bit of a knock against Burnley but we still believe. People might be writing us off but we know we can still do it. We have to look back at what we did at Reading and Yeovil and take confidence."
Lawrence says it is now or never for Barnsley this week as they face two 'season-defining' games at mid-table Bolton tomorrow and fourth-bottom Charlton on Tuesday night which is a game in hand.
He said: "Ever since the Burnley game, we have been saying in the dressing room that the games against Bolton and Charlton will define our season. We can't even think about what the table will look like if we don't get good results in those games.
"It is not easy to forget about Charlton because it could be such a pivotal game but we have to focus on Bolton for now. You do think about the whole season and I am hoping that we beat QPR on the last day to stay up. We need to be strong, competitive and consistent. Nobody wants to go down, not the players or the people in the town."
Lawrence insists he wasn't injured for Tuesday's game against Burnley but that manager Danny Wilson made the right decision to leave him out so that he could be fit for the final six games. Wilson claimed Lawrence – who has impressed since moving to central midfield in recent weeks – had a calf injury after the midweek loss in which he had to rearrange his side and change to a 4-5-1 due to Lawrence's absence.
Republic of Ireland international said: "I just felt a bit stiff so the manager decided to rest me. I had not really been playing so to have three games in nine days (against Reading, Yeovil and Brighton) took a lot out of me. It was probably the right decision because I wouldn't have been at my most energetic, flying around the pitch making tackles and runs.
"But I hope it won't happen again. As I get more games under my belt it should get easier. We haven't got many games left now so I want to be available for all of them and help the team stay up."

Proposals to make it possible for teachers to arm themselves, to change graduation requirements, and to require parental notifications for abortions have fizzled in the Legislature as a bill cutoff deadline passed Friday.
Meanwhile, bills to allow alcohol service in Kiggins Theatre and to create a new tax credit for business startups were one step closer to becoming law.
A measure by Monica Stonier, D-Vancouver, aimed to replace some traditional high school course requirements with classes specific to a student's career of choice failed to make it out of the House Education Committee. It had bipartisan support and was on track to pass, Stonier said, but some key Republicans on the committee pulled their support at the last minute.
"I'm disappointed that it didn't get out of committee," Stonier said. "I expressed deep interest in working with them to see if we can't get an amendment on another bill on the same topic so we can still see it through."
Her bill would have replaced the requirement that high school students take nearly six elective credits with a requirement that they take six "career concentration" credits. Those career-focused credits would need to relate to a specific career, trade program or post-secondary education the student plans to embark upon after graduation.
Stonier said her bill could reduce dropout rates by helping students who are not university-bound see the value in staying in school to prepare for a specific job after graduation.
Friday was the deadline for bills to advance out of policy committees in the chamber where they were introduced.
Bill cutoff rules are somewhat loose. Legislation impacting the budgetary process are exempt from the deadline, and bills that seem dead now can be resurrected or amended onto other legislation later.
A controversial bill regarding abortion also missed the cutoff. That proposal, introduced by Sen. Don Benton, R-Vancouver, would have required abortion providers to notify parents when their daughters, age 17 and younger, were seeking an abortion.
The public hearing on Benton's bill drew dozens from multiple sides of the issue, many delivering emotional testimony.
Still moving
A bill allowing single-screen movie houses to serve alcohol in their auditoriums, even when children are present, passed out of committee late last month. Small theaters, including Kiggins in Vancouver, testified that the bill would create a boost to business.
Large theaters in the state have the luxury of serving alcohol in designated theaters where minors are not allowed. Kiggins and the Liberty Theatre in Camas are struggling to compete with those larger venues, Rep. Jim Moeller, D-Vancouver, said last month while testifying on his proposal, House Bill 1001, before the House Government Accountability and Oversight Committee.
A plan by Benton to create a business and occupancy tax credit for new businesses has passed through the Senate Trade and Economic Development Committee. The tax reduction of 50 percent would apply to businesses that have at least four full-time employees and have invested at least $50,000 in capital investments.
Business and occupancy taxes are based on a company's gross receipts instead of net earnings, making it "tough for a startup business to survive," Benton said in a statement on Senate Bill 5382. "This tax credit would help new employers see a return on their investment sooner and give them incentive to plow any early profits back into their companies through hiring or more capital improvements."
Bills that pass out of their initial committee either head to a fiscal committee or to a rules committee, which decides if and when each bill will get a vote on the chamber floor.
Sen. Ann Rivers, R-La Center, received a Senate-wide floor vote Friday for her bill to ease the burden on local governments faced with acquiring environmentally friendly vehicles. In 2007, the Legislature mandated that by 2015, local governments, including fire and school districts, must replace their gas and diesel vehicles with those that run on electricity or biofuel.
Under Senate Bill 5099, the state's Department of Commerce would be required to create an advisory committee to take a closer look at those requirements. The committee would include representatives from local government.
The bill also states that a gas or diesel vehicle should not be replaced with eco-friendly one until "the end of its useful life." Rivers' bill passed out of the Senate on a vote of 46-2. One senator was absent.
Arming teachers
A bill by Liz Pike, R-Camas, to allow teachers to carry guns in school did not make the bill cutoff. Pike said the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jamie Pedersen, D-Seattle, made it clear to her he was not receptive to the proposal.
The bill would have let school boards create policies that allow teachers to bring their own guns and ammunition on school grounds, only after being trained to use the guns. Pike proposed the idea as a way to protect students against school shootings.
Pike said she might push the bill again next session.
"I'm looking for solutions, and until we have something that prevents gun violence in our schools, I will continue to look for solutions," Pike said. "Whether that be this bill or another one."
Meanwhile, a bill in the Senate to ban so-called assault weapons proved too divisive for passage and withered in that chamber. The Senate has a conservative majority.
Columbia River Crossing
Bills that would affect the Columbia River Crossing project technically are still on the table. Bills in transportation committees have a later deadline than Friday.
An idea by Moeller to get CRC builders to use steel manufactured in the Pacific Northwest passed out of the House Transportation Committee earlier this month.
That proposal, House Bill 1288, would require the state's Department of Transportation to charge a fee when its inspectors travel more than 300 miles from Olympia to examine steel for a boundary bridge. The minimum fee would be $5,000; if the steel fabricator is more than 3,000 miles away from Olympia, that minimum increases to $8,000.
The CRC would replace the I-5 Bridge over the Columbia River, rebuild five miles of freeway interchanges on both sides of the bridge, and extend a light-rail line from Portland into Vancouver. Paying for the $3.5 billion project is divided into three parts: federal money, tolling, and $450 million each from Washington and Oregon.
Other bills that could affect the CRC remained in their transportation committees Friday.
The 105-day legislative session ends April 28.

Two MH370 theft suspects have been arrested by Malaysian police over their alleged thefts from bank accounts belonging to four missing victims of flight MH370. Two Pakistani nationals -- a bank officer and her husband -- are accused of taking more than $30,000 out of accounts held by deceased Chinese and Malaysian victims. A third suspect is being sought by police as well.
Writes the Huffington Post: "The couple have been held in police custody since Thursday on suspicion of withdrawing 110,643 ringgit ($34,850) from the accounts of two Malaysian and two Chinese MH370 victims, said Zainuddin Ahmad, a district police chief in Kuala Lumpur. Police are also looking for another suspect, a Pakistani man, who is believed to have received – part of the money in his account through an online transfer, he added."
At large is a Pakistani man, Ali Farran, who police say received a portion of the funds that were illegally acquired by the suspect, said to be a ten-year bank employee with HSBC Bank Malaysia.
"We are still trying to locate this Ali Farran, who last worked as a car mechanic," said Izany Abdul Ghany of the Kuala Lumpur Commercial Crime Investigation Department.
The pair have yet to be charged, investigators said, adding that they can still hold the couple under suspicion of financial crimes.
"We have extended the remand order for the two until Wednesday to facilitate in the investigations," Izany said.
A spokesperson to HSBC's Malaysian branch issued a statement, ensuring that the bank would reimburse any losses.
"HSBC is deeply sorry for this incident and apologizes to the families of our customers for the distress this will cause and assures them there will be no losses on these accounts," the statement said.
Flight 370 has been missing since it disappeared from radar on March 8. The flight, which was carrying 239 passengers and crewmembers, has yet to be located, and thought to be downed somewhere in the southern Indian Ocean, west of Australia.

On February 26th, 2014, the same day Janet Mefferd entertained Scott Lively when he insisted that a revolution is needed to stop a Satanic conspiracy theory to turn the entire planet gay, she also entertained pastor William Owens as he accused President Obama of being "anti-Christian" and plotting to destroy the church.
"We elected the wrong black president," said Owens. "His strategy was, 'If I get the Catholic Church, I can get all the churches because of their size; let's knock them off, we'll get all of them.' He's anti-Christian, he stands up for no Christian values whatsoever."
Back in reality, however, Obama has constantly gone out of his way to accommodate religious opinions and values, with the only thing he has consistently failed to defend whatsoever being the practice of American theocracy.
Ever undeterred by the burdens of reality, Owen continued that he is only refraining from calling for Obama's impeachment because he wants the president to leave a legacy of backing marriage equality and being the worst president ever.
"Since he took this bold position and he wants to leave a legacy, we're gonna' see that he does leave a legacy, that he does leave the legacy that he did more to demoralize this country than anybody, any president, any administration since I've been here and I'm seventy-five years old."
So apparently, when previous presidents of the last seventy-five years dropped two atomic bombs, used federal resources to sabotage his political opponents, sold arms to Iran and invaded the wrong country, Owens must have just shrugged it all off and took comfort in the fact that at least gay people weren't being treated like human beings.

In the Springfield Republican, Ron Chimelis has a great story in Sunday's paper about UMass' revamped offensive line. Chimelis leads the story with the man taking over Vladimir Ducasse's No. 72 -- Nick Speller. The story also focuses on Speller's fellow transfers Greg Niland and Anthony Dima.
In his latest update on UMass Football, Matt Vautour of the Daily Hampshire Gazette focuses in on the Minutemen's No. 5 in the backfield -- Jamar Smith. The last two tailbacks to wear No. 5 are All-Americans Steve Baylark and Marcel Shipp, who combined for 11,582 career yards. "All the tools are there. That's why he got the No. 5," UMass coach Kevin Morris said. "He's a guy that we think can make an impact."
Vautour also mentions the addition to Nick Speller and the brother combinations on the UMass roster.
The 2010 UMass Football Roster has been updated with five newcomers for training camp. The new Minutemen include redshirt sophomore transfer Nick Speller, who comes to UMass from Syracuse, who will compete for time on the offensive line. Sophomore James Lizotte comes to UMass from Holy Cross, but will have to sit out as a transfer from one FCS school to another. Three freshman are also in camp: offensive linemen Mike Kahale and Jeff Skoog along with linebacker Ryan Delaire.

Complete MPSF Release in PDF Format
Download Free Acrobat Reader
Stanford, Calif. - The No. 19 ranked Stanford women's lacrosse team earned several Mountain Pacific Sports Federation honors, as announced by the conference office on Thursday. Head coach Michele Uhlfelder was named as the MPSF Coach of the Year and freshman Laura Shane was tabbed as the conference's Goalkeeper of the Year, while Sarah Bach, Megan Burker, Thea Lorentzen, Nina Pantano, and Kelsey Twist were all named to the 2005 All-MPSF Women's Lacrosse Team.
Uhlfelder was named as the conference's Coach of the Year for the second straight season after sharing last year's honor with Cal's Jill Malko. Uhlfelder has led the Cardinal to an 11-5 overall record and a 5-0 mark in MPSF contests so far this season. In her five seasons on The Farm, Uhlfelder has posted a 58-30 record and has led Stanford lacrosse to national rankings in each of the last three seasons. In conference play, her squads have won 32 straight regular season contests, and have captured five league titles.
Shane received Goalkeeper of the Year honors for her performance as the leader of the Stanford defense. The Baltimore native has started all 16 games in the cage for the Cardinal and has collected 189 saves so far this season, the second highest single-season total in program history. Shane is currently ranked sixth in the nation with a .562 save percentage, and ranks second in the MPSF with a 9.24 goals against average. Shane is also tied for the team lead with 29 ground balls this season, and earned MPSF Player of the Week honors earlier this season.
Pantano earned All-MPSF honors for the second straight season after tallying 24 goals this season and adding four assists. One of the three captains of the 2005 Stanford squad, Pantano was voted by teammates as the team's most valuable midfielder and scored 10 of her goals against conference opposition. She scored four goals in games against Oregon and UConn earlier this season, and recorded a hat trick in a win over Cal in April. Pantano also scored with 18 seconds remaining in the game to lift the Cardinal to a road win over Notre Dame on April 10th.
Twist received All-MPSF recognition for the first time following a productive regular season in which she tied for the team lead with 17 assists. The Baltimore native has also scored 16 goals, moving into sole possession of second place on the Cardinal career list with 115 tallies. One of the team's three captains for the 2005 season, Twist ranks first on the Cardinal career assist chart with 69 and first on the list with 159 draw controls. Twist currently leads the team with 42 draw controls and ranks second on the squad with 15 caused turnovers.
Burker received All-Conference honors for the second straight season, and currently paces the Stanford squad with 43 points. The junior is tied for the team lead with 17 assists and ranks second on the squad with 26 goals, while attempting a team-high 65 shots. Burker has come on strong as of late, tallying 11 goals in the last three Stanford contests. One of the team's three captains for the 2005 season, Burker is tied for the team lead with seven free position goals and has recorded six multiple goal games this season.
Bach has emerged as the Cardinal's top goal scorer this season, scoring a team-high 34 times to move into a tie for 10th place on the Cardinal single-season chart. Bach was named as the MPSF Player of the Week twice this season, and has recorded nine multiple goal games. She scored a season-high five goals in a win over Saint Mary's in February, and tallied four goals in Cardinal victories over Oregon, Colgate, and Ohio State. The Baltimore native has come on strong as of late, tallying 13 goals during Stanford's recent five-game winning streak.
Lorentzen earned All-MPSF honors for the first time following a standout regular season in which she emerged as the leader of the Cardinal back line. The junior has started all 16 of Stanford's games this season, playing nearly every minute of every contest. The Greenwich, CT native has collected a team-high 29 ground balls this season, and paces the squad with 20 caused turnovers. Lorentzen tied a single-game program record with five caused turnovers in a win over Ohio State on April 30th.
The Cardinal will look to capture the conference title this weekend as the top seed in the MPSF Championship Tournament in Moraga. Stanford will play UC Davis in the MPSF semifinals at 2:00 pm on Friday. The Aggies advanced to the semifinals with a 7-6 win over Oregon on Thursday.

The Nassau Coliseum is currently promoting events that are being held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Talk about adding insult to injury. As Islander fans prepare for the team's final home season in Uniondale, Barclays mastermind Bruce Ratner and County Executive Ed Mangano continue to rub local resident's noses into the mud.
Promoting the competition
On Jul. 1, 2014 the Coliseum's enewsletter, Coliseum Connection, ran an advertisement for "Walking with Dinosaurs" at the Barclays Center later this month. Why is the Coliseum accepting these ads? In case you have not looked lately, the Coliseum is struggling to hold its own. Even though major renovations are set to begin in 2015, everybody knows that without a professional sports franchise anchoring the Long Island venue, future financial success remains questionable. So why is the Coliseum promoting the Barclays Center? It seems there are many more questions than answers.
Where are the ethics of the Coliseum, reaping advertising dollars to promote Ratner's Barclays Center? Yes, he is the same Forest City executive that lured the Islanders to Brooklyn. If you have any doubt that Coliseum loyalists are getting the short end of the stick, hockey or otherwise, compare the events this summer at the Barclays Center versus the Nassau Coliseum.
Lopsided calendars
During July, which is typically slow, the Barclays Center will host "Walking with Dinosaurs -The Arena Spectacular" for five days; the family friendly "VIP Access Tour"; Katy Perry with back-to-back shows; the EBC Celebrity Basketball Challenge; and Cirque du Soleil's "Varekai." At the same time, Nassau Coliseum has the American Idol "Live Tour 2014" and subsequent auditions lined-up, as well as the Red Bull Global Rallycross. That is it, four days in all. Barclays has a busy agenda while the Coliseum will be slumbering.
On the other hand, Coliseum supporters could argue that Miley Cyrus chose the Coliseum to resume the US leg of her Bangerz Tour. But then again, Barclays can brag about hosting John Legend in August along with Yanni, Arcade Fire, professional boxing, heroes from the Marvel Universe and more. Yet, the Coliseum is advertising for the Barclays Center. What an insult. Shouldn't it be the other way around? Apparently, the powers that be do not view the Coliseum in the same light as the Barclays Center. Chalk it up as another suburban snub aimed directly at the Coliseum.

The most opulent place in Twentynine Palms, the Bistro opened in early 2009. It is also very gay-friendly! Owners Sam and Karen Provost have family connections with Alaskan fisheries, and have the freshest Alaskan seafood, from king salmon to scallops to halibut, flown overnight into Palm Springs, where it is then picked up and brought to the restaurant. The Bistro also features a 16-ounce New York strip, and an 18-ounce ribeye that's superb. The menu is constantly changing, so you won't be bored with the same stuff over and over again. There is a full bar with an extensive selection of imported and domestic beers, red and white wines, champagne, scotch, cordials, and two kinds of real and imported absinthe (Lucid is my favorite).
Favorite Dish: All their seafood choices are to die for, and, if you want something to comfort you, try the Comfort selection. A month ago it was housemade tomato soup and a grilled Muenster cheese sandwich. It is currently a grilled all-beef wiener with caraway sauerkraut and housemade Guinness mustard. Delicious!

29 Palms Inn Restaurant
The menu is fantastic! There are nightly fresh fish specials (the supplier is the Santa Monica Seafood Co.), and several chicken dishes that are outstanding. The New York strip is superb, and the chocolate mousse is to die for! The best restaurant in 29!
"Idiot's Gulch" is what we locals lovingly call the bar. It's a great place to hang out and meet people from all over the world. The bartenders are very friendly, and the selection is good. A nice way to relax after a day of hiking. Lots of out-of-town "family" make their way here.
Favorite Dish: Ask about the nightly specials; I usually get the seafood selection. Tasty!

New Year's Eve Party at the Crossroads
The Crossroads is extremely popular with rock climbers, environmentalists, musicians, the GLBT crowd, and anyone looking for fun, socializing, and fantastic food. It literally is a crossroads, as many people from all over the world manage to find their way here. The staff is a fun-loving, eclectic group of folks ready to serve you! They have a great selection of tap and bottled beers, both imported and domestic, and a decent selection of wine. You even get to bus your own tables. No hangups are allowed!
Favorite Dish: My favorite is the "Grilled Coyote." It's a HUGE sandwich made of a whole grilled chicken breast, thick-sliced and peppered bacon, avocado, sprouts, onion, lettuce, tomato, and a house sauce on a whole grain bun. You almost need more than two hands to tackle this monster!

Santana's Mexican Grill
This is definitely a "greasy spoon," but it's totally worth the trip. The food is great, there's lots of it, and it's CHEAP! Plus, Santana's is open 24 hours, in case you get the midnight munchies. Great place to go after the bars close.
Favorite Dish: The chicken-mushroom quesadilla with an horchata to drink can't be beat. It really hits the spot!

Millions of Americans have trouble sleeping at night, either we can't fall asleep, or we wake up early and are unable to go back to sleep. For women especially, insomnia can be common because we are constantly thinking about our busy lives, our children, or our careers. You can tell that insomnia is prevalent just by looking at the number of sleep aids in the grocery store aisle. Rather than reaching for a pill the next time you cannot sleep, consider incorporating these tips into your lifestyle which will hopefully improve your sleep habits:
• Avoid caffeine after mid-afternoon. Caffeine could possibly be the culprit responsible for your lack of sleep. After mid-afternoon, try to avoid foods that may contain caffeine such as chocolate or sodas. If you need a cup of coffee with dinner, try decaf instead.
• Try getting up if you can't sleep. If you can't go to sleep after being in bed for 30 minutes, try getting up and completing a short activity such as reading or watching a late night comedy. You can return to bed when you are ready.
• Consider the stress factor. Sometimes stressors can impact our ability to sleep well. Instead of lying in bed thinking about all of the reasons you are stressed or that long list of the next day's activities, try transferring your worry list onto a sheet of paper. Hopefully you will feel like you have gotten a head start on your tasks which will allow you to get some rest.
• Avoid naps during the day. While it may be tempting to nap with your little one in the afternoon, avoid taking an afternoon slumber. Naps during the day may make it more difficult for you to sleep throughout the night.
• Maintain a sleep routine. Go to bed at the same time each night and create a sleep pattern. Adjusting your bedtime and staying up later on the weekends can negatively affect your sleep pattern the next week.
Try these simple techniques which will help you have you getting zzzzz's instead of counting sheep.

Smouse's Pitching Gem Turns Into Another PCC Nine Defeat
Sophomore transfer pitcher A.J. Smouse did everything he could to stop first-place Long Beach City College from sweeping his Pasadena City College baseball team Monday afternoon. His complete-game, 7-hitter shut down the Vikings' bats, but his counterpart Kenny Uyetake was that much better against PCC's hitters in a 2-1 LBCC win at Brookside Park's Jackie Robinson Memorial Field.
Uyetake (eight innings) and closer Michael Kerman (ninth) combined to retire the last 12 Lancers in order. The lefty Uyetake allowed just four hits and struck out eight for the pitching victory, surrendering just one unearned run while Kerman struck out two for the save.
Smouse, who pitched the team out of several jams, was the hard-luck losing pitcher despite allowing just one earned run, striking out six, and throwing 1-2-3 innings in the second, third, fifth, and sixth innings. The outstanding pitching from both teams allowed the game to end in a speedy 2 hours and seven minutes.
LBCC improved to 12-10 overall and lead the South Coast Conference at 7-2. The Lancers, who lost their second straight 2-1 game and fifth one-run game of the season, fell to 6-13 and 3-6 in the SCC. Long Beach held Pasadena to just four runs and 14 hits in winning three times v. the Lancers in a week's span.
Sophomore catcher Jose Serna, who was responsible for six of those hits, batted 2-for-4 with a double in Monday's loss. Serna is the team's leading hitter with a .393 overall batting average and a sizzling .444 mark in conference play. As a team, PCC is hitting a mediocre .230 overall and .235 in nine SCC games. Meanwhile, the team's pitching staff is one of the top groups in the state with a 3.81 team ERA in conference.
"I couldn't have asked for two better pitching performances than what were turned in by Kaleb Carter-Allen on Saturday and Smouse today," said PCC Head Coach Evan O'Meara. "It's just a shame that we just couldn't give them runs. If you look at Long Beach's offense, it's not that great either. But they find ways to score enough runs. That's why they are in first place."
Designated hitter Adan Carbajal drove in PCC's lone run with a RBI single up the middle in the bottom of the first inning. Long Beach scored its decisive run in the fourth inning on a RBI groundout by Anthony Salas.
PCC will try to get back on track Tuesday, March 29 with a 2:30 p.m. home game against Los Angeles Harbor College. It is the first of a 3-game series v. the Seahawks.

Reflections on BLC22
Friday, August 23, 2013
So how did I do in BLC22? Not so great weight-wise, but not bad in other things.
What I did right was I got out there running more often. I have to get up at 4am to run before work (I start at 7am) but I managed to do it at least twice a week, usually 3 times. I also took my new bike out at least once a week.
The major mistake I made was eating too much while I was on vacation. The vacation was disappointing in some ways, and I let myself order whatever I wanted when I ate out - which was for every meal. I wasn't totally insane - I did not usually order dessert - but one or two "special" meals is what I usually do when I'm on vacation. Every meal should not be "special"!
I also did not do so well in the planning dept - I think I only cooked a big batch of food on the weekend once. I do much better when I have my own home cooked food in the freezer. Next weekend I will cook something for the freezer to use in BLC23.
My goal for between rounds is not to gain any weight! I will try for a loss as well of course. I plan to continue to check in with my team every day, and to track everything! And do some cooking!
That's another thing I did right - posting to my team thread everyday and participating in (almost) everything (I missed a weigh-in during my vacation). My food tracking was very good as well. It�s pretty much second nature now, but it is soooo easy to get out of the habit.
I�ve also come to terms (somewhat anyway) with the fact that my weight loss is going to be slooooow. I gave myself permission to get some new clothes instead of waiting until I�m some kind of �perfect� size. During BLC22 I bought (online mostly) � hmmm, let�s see � 4 new dresses, 2 skirts, 2 tops, 4 bras and a pair of shoes. Not that I�m expecting my feet to get smaller � they�re size 9 for good (unless they get wider as I age like my Mom�s did!).
I�m also actively looking for a dress for my office Xmas party (and other Xmas parties). Saw a great one in a US online store for $68.50 � then I found out it will cost $32 to ship it to Canada! Still thinking about that one.
Anyway, I�m feeling pretty good about myself and how I look these days, even though the weight loss has not been happening to a great extent. On to BLC23!

Getting up early to run is a wonderful accomplishment, as is tracking. I like that you're giving yourself permission to enjoy new clothes instead of waiting for the perfect number on the scale.

Lenore, good for you not letting the number on the scale override the many other successes you can celebrate. I've been impressed with your tenacity to get out there to get back to running so early in the morning. I know you were in a slump but you stayed strong, pushed hard and you're back at it. Woo Hoo!
Looking forward to seeing your photo of your new dress for the Christmas parties. Remembering how proud you were of the dress you could buy last year and how you rocked that one.
Great blog!

Nokia, Apple enter into patent licensing agreement, Apple has to pay up
The seemingly never ending patent war between Nokia and Apple has surprisingly reached an end today: Nokia has announced that the two companies have settled all patent litigations, thanks to the fact that Apple agreed to "join the growing number of Nokia licensees."
In other words, Apple lost this battle, and Nokia was right when stating that the Cupertino company was infringing patents with its products (including the iPhone).
Nokia didn't disclose the exact financial terms of the agreement. It only said that there will be "a one-time payment payable by Apple, and on-going royalties to be paid by Apple to Nokia."
Last year, we've heard the Finnish company expected to get as much as $1 billion from Apple – that kind of money would be more than welcome for Nokia now, when its smartphone market share has severely declined, and its Windows Phone future is rather uncertain (uncertain in the way that partnering with Microsoft may turn out to be a bad idea).
Apple hasn't issued any press release about the new agreement. I guess that if it's not about a patent war that the company won (or about a new magical product), a press release has no place on Apple's website.

Cat's Cradle Chapter 11 Summary
- Sandra mentions that Dr. Hoenikker was supposed to have been their commencement speaker but never showed.
- Instead, they got Dr. Breed, who said something about them all becoming scientists instead of superstitious people. Through science, Dr. Breed hoped humankind would discover the secret of life.
- But the bartender mentions a story he read where scientists already discovered the secret of life. It had something to do with proteins.

According to a new report released today, May 30, a staggering two-thirds of Americans are not doing anything to protect their personal information, despite the alarming amount of both recent and past data breaches. According to the report released by Consumer Reports, one in seven US residents, or roughly 45 million people have received a warning that their personal information has been compromised, or stolen, which equates to a massive 56 percent increase when compared to last year. Most of the incidents of data theft are a result of corporate negligence, but the average individual is to blame as well.
The stats in the report paint a bleak picture, and it really hammers home the message that we are not safe in the digital age. A recent poll of over 3000 people showed that a whopping 62 percent have taken no measures to protect their online privacy. When we post things on Facebook, Twitter or other social networks we are exposing ourselves to all kinds of attacks, both in the digital world, and real world, and the same can be said by using services such as PayPal, or dating sites. Just last fall, 42 million passwords were stolen when hackers decided to to hack Cupid Media dating sites, and 11.2 million people fell for scams that involved money transfers using sites like PayPal, which is a 22 percent increase compared to cases in 2013.
Smartphones and laptops have made it easy for us to stay in touch with others while we are on the go, and while we take these devices with us everywhere we go, most people still do not password protect their devices, which is a scary thought when you consider that in 2013, 3.1 million people were projected to have had their smartphone stolen, which is almost double the number in 2012, and 29 percent of people's home and laptop computers were infected with malware, and other malicious software.
Most of these issues can be avoided by using passwords on devices such as smartphones and laptops, and while it may take a few extra seconds to access your device, it could save you from a whole world of trouble. When picking a password make sure it is not easy to guess, and do not reuse the same password over and over again. Do not visit dubious websites, or click on random links in emails, and when a major retailer like Target, or e-tailer like eBay emails you to warn you about a data breach, take a few moments and reset your password.
