Okay, among the places FL statute 790.06 prohibits a concealed firearm is: "any school, college, or professional athletic event not related to firearms."
So I attend a Cirque du Soleil performance at a "sports arena" and there over the door is a sign stating that per FL law, no concealed firearms.
While I can't contest that sign if I am attending a FL Panthers hockey game, My feeling is that it falls into the worthless catagory for an "non-sporting, entertainment" event.
Any disagreement? I started to ask the guys in blue there, but I already had a "ride."

Each day thousands of children face the deadly epidemic of child abuse in the United States. Statistics show a child is abused every 10 seconds and 5 children die each day from child abuse and child neglect
Today Beaufort Gazette (islandpacket.com) reported Kandace Crawley was arrested on Thursday on an outstanding warrant in connection with the February 10 incident involving her 2-year-old son.
Crawley is accused of inflicting serious burns on her 2 year old toddler back in February, according to the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office.
The boy suffered "second- and third-degree burns from a hot bath," according to the warrant.
An Augusta, Georgia physician examined the toddler's injuries and told deputies the boy's injuries were the "result of child abuse, not an accidental fall into the bathtub," the warrant states.
On June 18, the Sheriff's Office secured a warrant for Crawley, but they weren't able to locate her until Thursday. She was found at a relative's home. Crawley remains in the Beaufort County Detention Center. She is being held on bond for $20,000.
If you see, hear or suspect a child is being abused or neglected it is your moral duty to report it. Here is a list of state toll-free numbers for specific agencies designated to receive and investigate reports of suspected child abuse and neglect. For your privacy and protection you can file a report of child abuse anonymously.

Cameron Diaz in Mother Denim
A barefaced Cameron Diaz was spotted leaving a medical building in Los Angeles, California a couple of days ago with her head down. It must be so annoying when the paparazzi are around and you have no make up on and just want to stay quiet.
Cameron wore a pair of Mother Denim skinny jeans with studded ankle boots, a grey tee and a black jacket. I actually really love this look on her. The jeans fit her perfectly, they are skin tight and flattering and the overall outfit is great. I do feel like the t-shirt would have looked better in a different colour though. You can buy Mother Denim online at Shopbop.com.

There are often one or two plays in a game that define the outcome of the game. In this game, there were two:
(1) Late in the second quarter, Miami was putting together a nice drive. Daunte drove them all the way down to the 14 with just over a minute left, and Buffalo leading 3-0. Its second down and 10, and Culpepper starts in the pocket, and rolls right. He sees McMichael in the endzone, and attempts a pass for him. The problem is that there were 3 defenders around McMichael, and at least 2 more nearby. He floats a pass in, and apparently never sees the db who picks it off at the 7 and ends the drive.
(2) Early in the 3rd quarter, Buffalo faced a 3rd and 12 from their own 46. Losman throws a deep pass toward Lee Evans. Will Allen has the coverage, but is clearly behind Evans. He's trying to catch up at full speed. The ball is overthrown, and it appeared to the Phin Ranter and I that Evans purposefully slowed down in order to cause a collision with Allen. And it happened: Allen never turned around, but upon seeing Evans slow down, put his hands up and hit Evans with his hands and tripped him. The flag flew and pass interference was called on Allen.
Buffalo had a 1st and goal at the 4, and scored on the next play.
Was the call right or wrong? It was probably wrong, because (a) the ball was overthrown and (b) the receiver appeared to draw the penalty. But, Allen still should have been smarter than that. He was outfoxed by Evans.

I've been seeing more and more projects recently involving handstamping and even though I don't consider myself a very creative/crafty person, I have to admit I've been considering trying it out myself. This project by Laurie seems like a great way to get my feet wet with colors and textures before actually starting to create my own stamps by hand. It also never crossed my mind to use a pin frogs as a place card holder either, but after doing a little searching on ebay yesterday realized you can find them in all shapes and sizes. The vintage pin frogs look especially fun…
unfamiliar with pin frogs, they are placed in the bottoms of vases or
dishes and used for flower arranging. The stems are stuck into the
pins, and held upright. They come in handy when arranging just a few
print out your labels. Stick the instructions on the back of the
envelope. (see figure 4)
place cards in front of the packets and set at each place setting.
(see figure 5)
Thanks, Laurie!

Remy Chandler novels being adapted for TV
Buffyverse writer Thomas E. Sniegoski's urban fantasy series is being adapted for NBC...
NBC has ordered a script that will adapt the Remy Chandler series of urban fantasy novels for TV.
The series, which debuted in 2008 with A Kiss Before The Apocalypse, feature Chandler, an angel who has eschewed life in Heaven for a literally more mundane one, working as a private investigator in Boston. His wings may have been clipped, but he retains a few powers that can prove handy on the mean streets of the Massachusetts city, including making himself invisible, mind reading and the ability to speak any language. He also has the Dr Dolittle-esque power to understand animals.
The project is described as "a procedural with humour, questions of faith and fate, and a very distinct partnership."
Remy Chandler is the brainchild of Thomas E. Sniegoski who has a firm pedigree in cross-media characters, having also written novels and comics set in the Buffyverse, the Star Trek universe and Gotham City.
Sniegoksi's Chandler novels currently run to six volumes, featuring a wide cast of characters, both human and supernatural. Details of how closely the TV version will stick to them are yet to emerge.

Donald Cerrone gets the decision at UFC 131
UFC officials made the announcement about the bout on Monday.
Taylor was originally scheduled to face Canadian John Makdessi on the Milwaukee fight card, but an injury forced him out, so in walks Cerrone.
This will be Cerrone's third appearance in the UFC since moving over from the WEC.
The former title contender has gone 2-0 with two impressive wins over Paul Kelly and, most recently, Vagner Rocha. The Team Jackson fighter had been lobbying to get on his hometown card for UFC 135 in Denver, but he will instead fight in August.
Cerrone faces Taylor in what could be a tremendous match-up between two of the most exciting strikers in the lightweight division.
There's been no word if the fight between Cerrone and Taylor will make the televised broadcast or not.
UFC middleweight Chris Camozzi steps into the Octagon opposite Vitor Miranda at UFC Fight Night 88, hoping to work his way into title contention. read news >>

The New Mexico Returning Veterans
Counseling and Therapists Project
The New Mexico Returning Veterans Counseling and Therapists Project is a ground-breaking statewide initiative offering free mental health counseling for up to one year for all men and women who have served in Iraq, Afghanistan or any other global hot-spot since America's Global War on Terror commenced shortly after the September 11, 2001 Terror Attacks.
The program was launched on March 15, 2013 through a collaborative effort by the State Regulation and Licensing Department, State Board of Social Work Examiners, State Board of Psychologist Examiners Counseling and Therapy Practice Board, the New Mexico Human Services Department's Behavioral Health Services Division, the New Mexico Department of Veterans Services, Access to Recovery Network, and Presbyterian Medical Services.
At the launch date, nearly 500 licensed counselors and therapist had signed up for the program, which is the first collaborative effort between private and state agencies in the country to provide statewide pro-bono mental health counseling for Iraq and Afghanistan War-era veterans.
The New Mexico Veterans Counseling and Therapy Project allows OEF/OIF-era veterans anywhere in the state to use a website, http://bhsdstar.org/Provider_Websites, which will direct the veteran to his or her nearest participating mental health professional. Help can also be found by calling 1-(888) 920-6333.
Interested counselors or therapists can also go to the website or call to register for participation in the project.
Veterans from other war eras can go to the Presbyterian Medical Services website at http://www.nmvets.com for services and assistance.

Ruby (SaEada) Sharon Evans — Using spirituality and medicine to overcome breast cancer
Having endured cystic breasts for years, SaEeda King was tired of having them so frequently aspirated – so she stopped going to the doctor.
"I didn't get checked for a few years," she admits. Then she found a painful lump under her arm. It was stage III breast cancer.
King thought, "I can take care of it myself." She followed a macrobiotic diet and underwent cleanses. The lump went down, and the pain stopped. But then she developed a new cancer — an aggressive, inflammatory cancer.
Around that time, King, who calls herself multireligious, had a spiritual experience. A friend from her old home in Hawaii had recently died of breast cancer. King built an altar and prayed for her friend: "And her spirit came. She said, 'By the time I turned to medicine, it was too late. You need to do both.'"
Taking that advice, she began treatment at UC Davis Cancer Center. She underwent chemotherapy, a full mastectomy, radiation, and then a year on the drug Herceptin, which targeted her specific type of breast cancer. Her spirituality never flailed.
"I did Buddhist chants and visualizations. I would picture the chemo and radiation as bursts of gold-colored light, knocking out the cancer."
~ SaEeda Sharon King
"I did Buddhist chants and visualizations," she says. "I would picture the chemo and radiation as bursts of gold-colored light, knocking out the cancer." Before her operation, she also buried two rose quartz heart-shaped crystals in the earth as a ceremonial goodbye to her breasts.
King has nothing but praise for the health-care professionals who helped her.
"I felt comfortable with their spirits," she says. "You have to decide whether to trust your physician and trust what they have planned for you."
She is now three years cancer-free, but she doesn't use the word "remission."
"I prefer to think it's not coming back," she says. "It's gone forever, in this lifetime and in any others!"

Overnight, March 9, 2014 at 2:00 a.m., Floridians turned their clocks forward one hour in a semi-annual ritual which costs the state in extra accidents and workplace injuries. Some members of the Florida legislature would like to put an end to the ritual, which would be welcomed as it has been in other states and territories of the U.S. There is a bill in the Florida House and an identical bill in the Florida Senate which would keep Florida clocks from having to change each November and March.
Unlike most bills before the legislature, they are only one page and state:
An act relating to daylight saving time; providing a short title; requiring that the State of Florida and its political subdivisions observe daylight saving time year-round; providing an effective date.
Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Florida:
Section 1. (1) This section may be cited as the "Sunshine Protection Act."
(2) Notwithstanding how time is advanced pursuant to 15 U.S.C. s. 260(a), daylight saving time shall be the year-round standard time of the entire state and all of its political subdivisions.
Section 2. This act shall take effect July 1, 2014."
Supporters of the bills are asking Floridians to contact their state House Representatives and state Senators so they can end the practice of changing the time in Florida twice a year.
In a recent USA Today article, management professor Christopher Barnes, of the University of Washington, "I have not seen any benefits of this change. I've only seen a downside in my data and the other studies." He added that the change robs Americans of approximately 40 minutes of sleep when they wake Monday morning.
There are associated health risks with the time shifting twice a year as well. A 2012 University of Alabama study found that heart attacks increase by 10% on Monday and Tuesday following the shift to Daylight Saving Time. Perhaps the legislators should market their bills as life savers rather than just convenience pleasers.
Although there is a healthy debate online between Libertarians and how they feel about Daylight Savings Time, most seem they would prefer to see the time remain the same throughout the year and would likely favor the two bills before the Florida legislature.

Kiki Smith Artists Lecture at University of North Texas, Eagle Student Services Center, Room 255 — January 29, 7 p.m. 1147 Union Circle, Denton, TX 76201.
Kiki Smith Opening Reception at UNT on the Square — January 30, 7-9 p.m. 109 N. Elm St., Denton, TX 76201.
Kiki Smith is this year's big name get at UNT (last year saw Nick Cave), and while the artist will be working with students at the university, the public will benefit from a lecture and an exhibition. For an introduction to Smith's work, here's an Art 21 feature followed by a conversation between Smith and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago director Madeleine Grynsztejn from 2011.
DB14 at The Goss Michael Foundation — February 1, 6-8 p.m. 1405 Turtle Creek Blvd. Dallas ,TX 75207.
Two years ago this spring, Dallas was hit with biennial fever. At the center of it was the Dallas Contemporary, which staged a biennial exhibition in conjunction with the Dallas Art Fair as a tongue-in-cheek way of questioning the curatorial conceit behind the biennial form. Concurrently, Dallas Biennial, a artist-run collaborative made up of Michael Mazurek and Jesse Morgan Barnett (and at one point C.J. Davis, though the artist is no longer listed as a DB "principal"), quietly staged its first installment. That event seemingly took the idea of a biennial at face value, as an opportunity to gather a cross section of artists together and take stock of the art and curatorial methods seemingly relevant in a given moment. In-the-flesh exhibitions were complemented by an online component which continued to role out digital contributions in the two years since the inaugural event. DB also lacked the opportunistic hoopla that makes the Texas Biennial, which took place last year, feel like a little cousin to the biennials anyone in the art world actually pays attention to. In that way, the Dallas Biennial, adopting a tone that combined high-minded concept with a scrappy, below-the-radar approach, offered its own reflection on the value and purpose of using the arbitrary excuse of an even-numbered year to launch an art fest.
For their second edition, DB14 has expanded, roping in a greater number of local venues and broadening their artist list. This weekend's particularly dense opening event at the Goss-Michael Foundation features, naturally, some artists from the UK (Conrad Atkinson, Derk Boshier), alongside a lineup of American conceptual artists, including Martha Rosler, Stephen Lapthisophon, Jospeh Grigely, and Adrian Piper. Thomas Lawson will be given a 20-plus work retrospective, spanning a 27-year period in his career. The rest of the month will include the following exhibitions:

Portland Thorns FC is back where it all started for another National Women's Soccer League first in Kansas City, Kan.
Portland and FC Kansas City, which played to a 1-1 draw on April 13 in the inaugural NWSL regular-season match, square off in the league's first playoff match Saturday. Kickoff is 11 a.m. PDT at Shawnee Mission District Stadium. The winner will play in one week for the first NWSL championship.
Portland and Kansas City finished with identical 11-win, six-loss, five-tie records. FCKC won two of its four games against Portland, and the Thorns won once in the series. Kansas City is the No. 2 seed based on a better goal differential.
A lot of the focus this week has been on two of the world's best players: Portland's Alex Morgan and Kansas City's Lauren (Cheney) Holiday.
With Morgan, the questions are about the health of her sprained knee. She has missed the last two Thorns matches. She went with the thorns to Kansas City and is listed as day-to-day, but seems unlikely to play.
"It's really up in the air," Morgan said this week, after doing some warm-up drills for the first time since suffering the injury Aug. 7 in a loss at Boston. "I don't think it would be smart to put me on the field if I'm not 100 percent, especially the way that I play. I need to cut, I need to accelerate and decelerate at a fast pace."
If Morgan doesn't play, the Thorns should still be confident. They earned a draw and a win in the two full games since Morgan's injury — both on the road.
"Any team is going to miss Alex if she's not able to play," Thorns forward Christine Sinclair said. "(But) these past two games we've adapted and I actually think been better on the buildup than we have all season."
There is no questioning the status of Holiday, who led the league in scoring and is expected to be named MVP. The midfielder scored five of her 12 goals against Portland.
"She's completely dominated this league this year," Sinclair said. "So we have to stop her this time around."
Slowing down Kansas City, which scored nine goals in four regular-season against Portland, requires focus — attention to assignments, not only Holiday and midfield running mate Erika Tymrak.
"Kansas City is a very good attacking team, so we've got to be sure we don't give up counter-attacks," Thorns coach Cindy Parlow Cone said, pointing to that as a big part of the 3-2 loss at Jeld-Wen Field on Aug. 4.
Counter, perhaps, to expectations, playing on the road might play to the Thorns' advantage. Four of Portland's six losses came at Jeld-Wen Field.
When Kansas City won 3-2 at Portland on Aug. 4, its unbeaten streak reached 10 games. But losses to Boston and Chicago — on a late goal — cost FCKC the top seed in the playoffs.
FC Kansas City coach Vlatko Andonovski said the emotional win at Portland seemed to sap his team's energy, and that part of his preparation for the semifinal was to make sure his players are physically and mentally refreshed.
• If the match is tied at the end of 90 minutes, the teams will play an additional 30 minutes, broken into 15-minute segments. If the score is still tied, a penalty-kick tiebreaker will determine the winner.
How to watch — Fox Sports 2 network will carry the game. It is available on channel 618 on DirectTV and channel 398 on Dish Network. The network is not available on Comcast cable in Clark County.
The match will be available live online through FOXSoccer2Go.com. The website is offering a free trial through Sept. 15. Viewers must enter a credit card number for the $19.95 subscription fee, but will not be charged if they cancel the service prior to Sept. 15.
Dublin Down Irish Pub, 813 Main St., in Vancouver, is one of eight Timbers and pub partners showing the match live.

Funding cuts, increased gasoline prices and rising need are causing frustration in one city department.
Judy Phelps, general manager of city of Amarillo Transit, said slashed funding is hurting the department and may result in services being cut.
"We've lost a significant amount of funding over the last few years. We were getting $672,980 two years ago from the state. Now we're getting a little more than $500,000. Over the next three fiscal years, we will lose another $149,000 because of cuts from the Texas Department of Transportation," she said.
She talked about the department's troubles during Thursday's meeting of the Advisory Commission for People with Disabilities.
The city runs two bus services: fixed route service, in which buses follow a fixed route, and spec-trans service, in which buses pick up and deliver people at special destinations. The spec-trans service is for people who are unable to make it to the fixed route bus stops and need to be picked up and taken directly to their homes or other destinations.
On one fixed route between two buses, the department recorded the bus traveled 69,382 miles and had 46,099 passengers.
Phelps said the spec-trans service is significantly more expensive to run because of the increased mileage. She said a one-way spec-trans trip costs an average of $34.53. A single fixed-route trip is about $8.03. She said those costs are more than last year because of rising fuel and oil costs. She said a spec-trans trip last year cost $30.43, and a fixed route trip was about $6.71.
Phelps said all of the fixed route buses on all eight routes are accessible to the disabled.
"If there's any way people can get to those bus stops, they need to so we can continue to use both systems," she said.
There are five vans in the spec-trans line. A trip on spec-trans is $1.50. On the fixed route buses, it's 75 cents for the adult rate, 60 cents for the student rate, and 35 cents for the senior citizen and disabled rate.
One of the solutions, if funding cuts cause the department to re-evaluate its operations, is going to a flex service. Flex service would combine fixed route and spec-trans.
"Other cities in our situation are doing this," Phelps said. "Combining the fixed routes and spec-transit routes as one. They run regular fixed routes and then may diverge off the routes and pick up passengers who can't make it to the bus stops. They have to schedule ahead of time. All the buses have to meet up downtown and then make their connections to other buses. Many systems are changing to this just to stay on the street."
Brenda Rossnagel, member of the disabilities commission, said, "My feeling is even though we've tried to prepare people, once this happens, there will be an outcry of 'Why didn't you tell us?'"
Phelps said she's concerned about how the possible cuts will affect the community.
"We have such a demand for public transportation. Without public transportation, there are people who won't be able to go to work. These are people who are viable members of the community," she said.

Taking Antidepressants
ISBN13:by Banov, Michael
Sunrise River Pr
Antidepressants are the most commonly prescribed class of medications in this country. Yet, consumers have few available resources to educate them in a fair, balanced fashion about starting and stopping antidepressants. People want to know if antidepressants are really safe, whether they are addictive, and how they may affect their personality. In this book, triple board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Michael Banov walks the reader through a personalized process to help them make the right choice about starting antidepressants, staying on antidepressants, and stopping antidepressants. He includes specific guidelines on how to safely reduce and ultimately stop taking antidepressants, if it is appropriate to do so. Readers will learn how antidepressant medications work, what they may experience while taking them, and will learn how to manage side effects or any residual or returning depression symptoms. Most books on depression take a biased view against antidepressant medication due to perceived dangers; this book finally provides a balanced, research-based resource for consumers who want the facts about taking antidepressants.
Author Biography
Michael Banov, MD, completed his psychiatry training at McLean Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and is medical director of Northwest Behavioral Medicine and Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia. He has been a principal investigator in hundreds of psychiatry studies and has published dozens of articles and research papers on the treatment of mental health problems. He is the founder and director of www.psychsource.org, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people find appropriate mental health resources in their area. When not practicing medicine, he is traveling, writing, playing guitar, and practicing martial arts.

Have you heard someone say they can "read so-and-so like a book"? Have you been told to put on a happy face? Facial expressions are powerful means by which humans communicate non-verbally with one another and other species. Can your dog tell how you feel just by looking at your face? Researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna say they can.Read More »

When I received my January issue in the mail today, I was pleasantly surprised to see the beautiful Marisa Tomei on the cover (one of my favorite actresses). Then I opened the magazine to see an article on the talented Elizabeth McGovern of Downton Abbey (one of my favorite shows).
More will continue to be the one piece of mail I actually look forward to receiving each month!
--Pamela Braddy
Thank you for the article "Blessing of the Animals". It could not have come at a better time for me. Our family recently lost a little rescue puppy to cancer. Though we were only privileged to have had Daisy for a short time she will forever be in our hearts. She had a rough road as a young stray getting to her forever home and was so grateful to be with us. I wish more people would consider adopting. These animals so need our help and it is amazing what they give back to us.
--Juli Healy
I always enjoy reading my monthly issue of More magazine and enjoy your Letter from the Editor section. This month's article however left me sad and wondering how a highly accomplished and educated woman could be so careless as to let a cat outside unattended to get, as you say, "assumed hit by a car". What? As an animal lover and cat owner, I would never leave my precious cats outside by themselves without being on a leash or in a protected area. This is pet ownership rule 101. Please Meredith, let Miu's spirit guide you to do better with Zeus and Rain....keep them inside where they belong.
--Kimberly Apgar
Thank you so much for the cover story on my favorite actress, Marisa Tomei. I enjoyed reading about her professional endeavors, her ability to maintain friendships, and her desire to keep her Italian culture of cooking special dishes as a time-honored tradition.
The next time she has another movie coming out, such as Love, Marilyn, please do another editorial piece on Marisa; she reveals a lot to women in our age range.
We may be in our forties, but look like we are in our thirties. Thanks.
--Barbara Render
I love More Magazine's articles. It is so refreshing to read about peers and cohorts instead of twenty or thirty somethings!
I loved the Dec/Jan issue's "The Blessing of the Animals". I wonder if that could become a regularly featured section.
In addition it is very disheartening to pick up a fitness magazine and have those same twenty somethings sporting a toned body that is more youth-aquired than sweat-induced. Not to mention the abundance of energy those individuals reserve compared to their elder counterparts. Let's face it, it's not an accident that road races have age categories or that tennis greats retire at thirty!
I would love a regular fitness section of fit, 40-50 somethings that achieve amazing fitness and realistic but admirably toned bodies. They could share their stories about routines and diets and special extras that work for them. You know, like Shape mag, or Muscle and Fitness Hers, or Fitness, etc... those articles are related to a young population and are seemingly unrealistically achievable for those of us who are pre and post menopausal. Just a thought.
First of all, I would like to start by letting you know what a wonderful publication I think More is...I still remember thinking, oh, no, that is for "OLDER WOMEN", I will never read it...well, here I am, on the far side of over 40, and loving it!
It was with interest that I read your Letter from the Editor in the December issue, regarding your cats. I am deeply sorry for the loss of your Miu-Miu. Having lost three of my beloved elderly cats in the last year and a half, the last one, Tricki Woo, just a couple of weeks ago, I completely understand the sense of loss.

There are times m'dear if well fortified beforehand with the contents of half a bottle of vintage Bollinger sloshing about inside me, I could stick out an upward palm to be peered at by a soothsayer. I have been known of an evening, if sufficiently cheered on by friends to even allow a sayer of sooths to squint his eye, and register scorn at the squiggly lines on my palm and tell me this and that about my future.

By Sonali Samarasinghe Wickrematunge
Lasantha Wickrematunge was a journalist who fought fearlessly for the freedom of the press and relentlessly pursued what he believed was right. It is a sad tribute to Sri Lanka's growing indifference to democratic principles, justice ands fair play and the present regime's strangle hold on the media and democratic institutions, that even 24 months after his murder there has been no conclusion to Lasantha's murder investigation.
As Sri Lankans go to the polls as a unified nation for the first time in more than two decades, Freedom House is deeply concerned about electoral misconduct and Sri Lankan authorities' flagrant disregard for the rule of law.
A year has passed since Lasantha was brutally murdered on the high streets of the city. During this period the LTTE has been wiped out, provincial council elections held, Kumaran Pathmanathan arrested and brought back to Sri Lanka from foreign soil in a sting-like operation, presidential elections called two years prematurely only because the incumbent deems its opportune for him and of course 24 hearings have been held in the Mount Lavinia Court into Lasantha's murder without any breakthrough! Incredible?
"A year has gone by without any progress in the investigation into his murder," Lal Wickrematunge said today to Reporters Without Borders, on the eve of the first anniversary of the fatal shooting of his brother, Lasantha Wickrematunge, the Colombo-based Sunday Leader's well-known managing editor. It is Lal who has replaced him at the helm of investigative weekly, some of whose journalists were recently threatened.
President Mahinda Rajapakse has been challenged to dispel the widely held perception that his government is complicit in a cover up of Lasantha Wickrematunge's assassins. In a letter dated January 4, 2010, Sonali Samarasinghe Wickrematunge highlighted the various steps taken by the state to stonewall an investigation into her husband's murder and called for an "impartial, transparent and professional inquiry" into the killing.
She joins four others who will receive awards. They are: Chi Dang (Vietnam), Maziar Bahari (Iran), Irakli Kakabadze (Georgia) and Daniel Coronell (Colombia).
The Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard presented the Louis M. Lyons Award for Conscience and Integrity in Journalism to slain Sri Lankan newspaper editor Lasantha Wickrematunge and the journalists of Afghanistan on Tuesday, November 17, 2009.
Peter Sandbichler one of Austria's celebrated architects and artists pays tribute to one of Sri Lanka's courageous sons.
The sculpture about 8 metres high stands outside on the Museum Quartier (MQ) forecourt. According to the Mumok Vienna's world famous Museum of Modern Arts, the artist "uses this public space in order to construct a tower-like billboard on which abstract sculpture and concrete message interact with each other: at close quarters it appears to be purely a grid of forms, but as the day goes on it turns out from a distance to be a portrait of the Sri-Lankan journalist Lasantha Wickrematunge.
Slain Sri Lankan editor Lasantha Wickrematunge and a New York Times reporter held captive for seven months received the National Press Club's 2009 John Aubuchon Press Freedom Awards. The awards are bestowed on one international journalist and one American journalist who embody the principles of a free press. They were honored at the Awards Dinner on August 3.
Lasantha Wickrematunge was editor of The Sunday Leader in Sri Lanka until January, when a commando hit squad on motorcycles assassinated him in his car on the way to work.
By Martin White
The witch hunt against journalists depicted as enemies of the State continues unabated in Sri Lanka.
The latest victim in this "officially sanctioned unofficial campaign" is Poddala Jayantha, a senior Journalist and prominent media rights activist.
Senior US Senators Patrick Leahy (Democrat-Vermont) and Robert P. Casey (Democrat-Pennsylvania) wrote to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Friday (June 5) calling on her to use all the leverage the United States has with Sri Lanka including its support for international lending to encourage respect for basic human rights and a sustainable politcal settlement.

Although, Hard Rock Cafe has made its way to locations throughout the world and two spots in Los Angeles, it has never made a home in Hollywood. It is obvious to see the Hollywood is slowly getting a makeover. The new location is a spectacle to behold with unbelievable interactive tables and what the company calls "the rock wall". The lines should not be long because the new location seats 400 people. Even more impressive is that during a harsh economy for the state of California, the new Hollywood Hard Cafe provides 240 new jobs from the clean up person to the waitress to your tech guy.
But what about the food? Executive Chef Leonard Delgado introduces new pizzas for both Hollywood and the Universal Hard Rock venue. The signature burger for the Hollywood Hard Rock Cafe is the "Hollywoodland Burger." It is muy deliciouso(very delicious) and accompanied with herb flavored fries cooked in white truffle oil. The fries are impeccable if not some of best fries that I have ever had. The goodness does not stop there. Try the bufalo wings. As the old jingle use to say, "Have it your way." You may them fried or broiled and smoked. Not being able to resist something new, I opt for the broiled and smoked which oozes with flavor and pop with spice which does not overpower you.
See the inside of the new location, as I talk with the Executive about menu item. Note the delectable looking orange drink in the video is called the Mango Tango.

Next BMW M5 will nix V10 in favor of twin-turbo V8
BMW may begin straying from its long held tradition of equipping its M models with rev-happy, naturally aspirated engines. According to a source speaking with Automotive News, the twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 currently equipped on the new X6, could be stroked out to 4.8-liters and fitted on future Ms, including the new M5, due out in 2011. The twin-turbo'd 3.0-liter inline six found in the 335i, 535i and entry-level X6 proved that BMW has the chops to create highly efficient and eminently entertaining blown mills, and there's no doubt that significant tweaks to the turbocharged V8 could boost power levels over the stock mill's claimed 407 hp, to take take serious aim at Audi's 572 hp RS6.

Back in the day, me and the missus would go to eat weekly ay the old DaiRyu on King Street. According to my friends from Japan, it was close to "Hon mono," or the real thing. I guess having a ramen cook from Japan made that possible. Maybe the major difference being cooked in Hawaii. It was a place of comfort and good food at prices we could afford at the time. After we got married, we moved to Makakilo and our DaiRyu days were over. Sadly, the restaurant closed a few years later. I don't mean to make any disparaging remarks, but the new Dai Ryu in Kapalama is just not the same. So what is a ramen lover to do?....
Easy, braddah, easy. The new place for me is Chimpei. They are located in the old Misuzu location on King Street. Spicy food lovers may remember It's Chili in Hawaii on the corner.
The menu is pretty extensive and I like it that way. I take my ramen quite seriously. You can order many different varieties and a few that are a little off the ramen path.
There are also many specials that are posted right up on the wall in typical Japanese mom and pops style and like Misuzu used to do. Try the mochi inside your ramen, it's so good.
Ever hard at work, owner, Mr. Hashigami crafts the tasty broth and noodles with whatever toppings the item calls for. My mouth is watering as I write...
Hon mono desu (The real thing lidat) Hashigami san even has someone that helps with the cooking duties right out of Japan. Yes, I know that I'm not from Japan, but had ramen there and Chimpei is the closest thing to being in the motherland.
And of course the star of the show, my favoritest ramen, Chimpei's Miso Ramen. There are little soy beans in the broth from the miso paste that float around. I try to get the noodles, the broth and the beans in perfect proportions. That way, I can enjoy every single bite in the exact same way.
Now no visit to any ramen establishment is complete without the ever famous ramen sidekick, gyoza. Now that my 2 sons are growing, we are gonna have to start ordering more than 12 pieces. My little one already counts and rations the order.
My side order of bean sprouts. Just kidding. As much as I love Chimpei, I do not like bean sprouts. Only problem is that I always forget to ask to leave them out. In typical "no waste" Hawaii style, my wife eats em for me. Good wife.

Campaign links: John W. Tilford (D-IN-9)
Colonel John W. Tilford
John W. Tilford Congressional Candidate Indiana District 9
Biography of John W. Tilford from the Campaign to Elect Tilford for Congress
Colonel John W. Tilford enlisted as a Private, E-1 in the United States Marine Corps at the start of the Vietnam War. He was selected for the first computer fundamentals course in Marine Corps history. Corporal Tilford spent 18 months (including a voluntary six month extension) in Vietnam with Marine Air Control Squadron 4 near Danang.
Returning to civilian life, Tilford used the "G.I. Bill" to finish Bachelor of Science in Education degree at Indiana University while working part-time jobs. Obtaining the maximum score on the Federal Service Entrance Examination, he worked series of increasingly responsible positions with the Internal Revenue Service, Department of Veterans Affairs, and Department of the Navy. Tilford was a member of national level task forces for both the Internal Revenue Service and the Department of the Navy. Following civil service retirement, Tilford returned to assisting veterans as Veterans Service Officer for Monroe County, for American Legion Post 18 and for Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 604.
Returning to military service with the Army Reserve in 1979, Specialist Tilford qualified as Drill Sergeant, advanced to Staff Sergeant, and accepted a direct commission to First Lieutenant in the Infantry. Captain Tilford commanded basic training companies at forts Knox, Benning, and Jackson. He graduated from Airborne School at Ft. Benning at age 41. Transferring from Infantry to Military Intelligence branch, Major Tilford was first called to Washington, DC to work on South Asia intelligence in 1996 and spent a total of 4½ years in support of the Defense Intelligence Agency and the National Ground Intelligence Center. Mobilized twice after 9/11, Lieutenant Colonel Tilford was placed in charge of a DIA team providing weekly intelligence products to the secretaries of Defense and State. Replacing an active duty Air Force officer relieved at the start of Operation ANACONDA (attempt to capture Osama bin Laden near Tora Bora), LTC Tilford became the only reserve officer to head the Afghanistan Cell supporting the J-2 for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. LTC Tilford's reorganization of the nationwide reserve assets of the National Ground Intelligence Center was considered a prototype for other United States military intelligence agencies. Colonel Tilford retired from the position of Deputy Commander, National Ground Intelligence Center in 2006.
Tilford founded Hoosier Honor Flight, Inc. in 2008 to fly WWII veterans from Monroe and surrounding counties to Washington, DC to see their WWII Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, and other attractions in the national capitol at no cost to the veterans. Hoosier Honor Flight suspended operations in April 2010 after all applications were exhausted.
Early Life and Education
Tilford attended a two room rural grade school. He graduated from Bloomfield (Indiana) H.S. with the highest SAT score in school history and four school records in track. He was a walk-on for the Indiana University track team until leaving school to enlist in the Marine Corps. Tilford graduated from Indiana University with a B.S. in Education. After competitive selection for the Post Graduate Intelligence Program with the National Defense Intelligence College, he graduated with a Master of Science of Strategic Intelligence in 2003.
John and Polly (née Bruce) Tilford have been married for 41 years. They are the parents of two children: Aaron James and the late Sarah Beth. With only the exceptions of active duty tours, John and Polly have lived in rural Monroe County, Indiana since 1978.
In December 2011 Tilford announced his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives, Indiana 9th District. Tilford will compete in the May 2012 Democratic primary in order to face the incumbent, freshman Republican congressman Todd Young.

[artist id="3187077″]Justin Bieber[/artist] launched himself as an international pop sensation seemingly overnight.

"I'm ready to go home," he said. "I learned about the Mona Lisa and about Leonardo Da Vinci. His actual name is Leonardo cause his last name … he doesn't have a last name. 'Da' means 'from,' right? And Vinci is where he's from. I'm smart, right? This trip was long. I did a lot of interviews, but I had fun overall. I had a great time."

On Saturday, Febraury 8, somewhere between 80 thousand and 100 thousand people gathered in Raleigh, North Carolina for the "Moral March". This was the continuation of a movement that began in April. 2013 against the hard right policies of the North Carolina Legislature.
The ideas of the "Moral Mondays" are spreading across the South, much like the Civil Rights movement. There is probably an influence of 'Occupy' and the Wisconsin workers as well.
But when is such a movement going to come to Pennsylvania? Like many other states; Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, etc, Pennsylvania has see a rightward shift. The role of what Bill Moyers and others call "Dark Money" in this process can not be ignored. Governor Corbett may not have an Art Pope acting as a kingmaker. But there is likely a cadre on corporations and corporate interests; the natural gas and possibly the convenience store industry come to mind.
We've seen flashes of resistance; the Voter ID law, liquor privatization, and recently the opposition to the "Paycheck Protection" bill. But I haven't see the type of sustained, public, opposition that we're seeing in North Carolina.
One thing that may be holding Pennsylvania back is the lack of a clear leader. The "Moral Mondays" have William Barber, the head of the North Carolina NAACP. Could a leader come from the Pennsylvania legislature, labor itself, or from another group?
A second issue might be something Bill Moyers brought up in a piece on Democracy Now. That there may be a distinction between progressives and the Democratic party. Many Democrats in Pennsylvania are likley from districts where a full embrace of a progressive agenda would spell disaster. A strong public, progressive, presence might give Democrats more assurance that support of a progressive agenda is not going to cost a Senator or Representative their seat.
Such a movement could also provide a source of the all important 'boots on the ground'. As Bill Moyers put in, "The answer to organized money is organized people.' At the press conference in opposition to the paycheck protection bill brought up, labor is ready to come out in force behind those who stand with them and against those who follow the %1 money.
So when might we see a "Workers Wednesday" in Pennsylvania? Wouldn't that send a message to Governor Corbett and the legislature?

i had a love/ hate relationship with the wound vac. my wound was closed so my surgeon put it on as a extra step in the healing.. it kept me up at night beeping saying the canister was full and it was empty. I had my 1 week follow up today and he removed it. i am glad to see it gone.

It's not the most comfortable device to be hooked up to, but I would highly recommend it. I had it attached to my groin/ inner thigh area for 4 weeks. If it wasn't for the vac I would have probably suffered secondary infections and an extended healing time. The wound healed pretty fast, but the first dressing changes were excruciating. That was until nurse started to put paraffin gauze into the wound before inserting the foam. This turned out be a real lifesaver for painful dressing changes.
By the second week I was removing the vac myself, and the nurse merely had to sterilize the area and apply the new dressing. My machine was relatively quiet and trouble free. By week three I learned how to patch up areas of dressing where a leak would occur and make the device noisy.
I was told that not all patients take well to wound vac therapy. Skin grafts are not always an option, and the vac gets you back to work fairly quickly.

It's silly to say but I actually miss my wound V.A.C! I had surgery on both of my under arms and had a wound V.A.C on for a little over a month. I got used to the sounds at night and always carrying it around.. MIND you! I DO NOT miss the changing! :)

Constance & DaDodger--
How long a go did you have your surgeries?
How was the overall process & healing?
And if you dont mind me asking - - Did it work? Do you have any new growth in the surgery area or around it?
Sorry so many questions.. Getting surgery on my armpit or groin just sounds awful.. But you have made it through at least :)

I'm curious as well. I'm going to see a plastic surgeon on the 30th, and depending upon what he tells me, I may or may not go through with surgery. I've already been to see one and he was not someone I would send anyone to. One of those "I know it all and you know nothing" talks a hundred miles and hour and makes you feel like he's checking your tire pressure and not your body kinda fellows.
I would like my surgeon to do one spot at a time so I can stay as functional as possible, and I am totally interested in the wound vac thing, as it seems like it works better than slice, dice and stitch ya back together type surgery.
I'm looking at having my armpits and the inside of my left thigh done....it WILL be awhile before I have the nerve to do my groin or the inside of my buttocks done...lol

I would highly recommend surgery. My surgery was also done with a plastic surgeon on 13 Feb 2012. He was recommended by my dermatologist, as he has a lot of experience with HS surgery. I think that is the most important part, as the surgeon should have practical experience with getting rid of every bit of tunnelling.
My surgeon explained to me that he was quite vigilant with searching for tunnels, as he knows from experience that it causes the procedure to fail with HS patients. The procedure took three hours and he used contrast dye to search for hidden tunnels. He even explained to me afterwards that there were areas that looked pretty healthy, but showed tunneling upon closer inspection.
I only had to stay in hospital overnight, and walked out unassisted the next day. The worst part for me was the stitches coming loose after about three days. I just was not prepared to see the gaping, bloody wounds in my groin and thighs. It was very awkward to clean it, because you have to touch the raw flesh. So that's when I went back to the surgeon and the wound vac started. My wounds were about 11x6cm.
I still have to go back to have my butt area done, as the surgeon did not want to do it all at once. My groin area is pretty closed up now, and I feel wonderful. My life has returned to normal with no pain and smelly pus draining every day. It's too early to say that it will not return, but my faith keeps me strong. If you still have doubt, I would say 'go for it', it's worth it.

I had surgery done on both of my underarms Feb 24th 2011 and it was just a day surgery. I was in pre-op/surgery/recovery for a total of 7 hours but the operation only took 2. I had just a general surgeon who had dealt with this before perform it and she had to remove all the sweat glands and a lot of the scar tissue.
Didn't need a skin graph and both incisions are about 7 inches from front to back, closed up with stitches.
The wound V.A.C wasn't terrible to have but the first changing was rough. I have very sensitive skin and they had to put a lot of tape on me to keep the foam pads in place and so when the nurse had to pull them off, I was not happy. I STRONGLY recommend taking pain medication before they go over to change it. I learned a lesson from that first changing lol
Over all I had my V.A.C for a little over a month, kept the stitches in for a bit longer and then got those removed.
Since then I haven't had ANY regrowth!! I did get a bump ONCE but I think that was just irritation on the scar. Currently I am watching them since I'm getting "black heads" in the area and don't know if that's something to worry about or not but I would STRONGLY recommend the surgery to anyone!
I have full function back in my arms, still numb in the area but they say that's normal.. :P
I will upload some pictures I took if you're curious to see! :)
Sorry for the long rant! :)

Forgot to mention that when my stitches were taken out, the wounds were still open a little. They just needed to be kept clean and as LITTLE movement as possible to avoid opening them more. One side was worse than the other and did require a little bit of packing with gauze but it wasn't a terrible task.

Many thanks to you both for the extra info. When I go to see this plastic surgeon on the 30th I will have extra stuff to talk to him about (contrast and close inspection to make sure all sinus tracts/tunneling is found and removed). My insurance won't let me try Humira or Remicade, since I don't have something generally approved from the use of it such as Rheumatoid Arthritis. So surgery is going to have to be the way for me to go, unless some sort of miracle pops up before then.
Other than that the only question I have is...What kind of pain meds were you on after surgery. I'm asking cause like I said, I am wanting to stay as functional as possible, and I can handle 10mg percocets pretty well without the "head fuzzies" and sluggishness that normally is associated with narcotics. (actually I have been told I have an "allergic" reaction to narcotics since I don't get the drowsies but instead want to get up and do..but I think that is more like "oh I'm not dying..and feel ok to do something..so let's use it while I can"..sorta thing). But I have had 2 previous back surgeries and both times they put me on Oxycontin which knocked mine hiney in the dirt and all I did was sleep. Don't get me wrong..I like good sleep as much as the next person..but I also like to be able to get up and DO dang it..lol

The new school year is in full swing, and kindergarten students are already immersed in beginning reading skills. Sight words are a big part of beginning reading skills. Children have already been introduced to a beginning list of sight words to remember during the first few days of kindergarten. Sight words are to be memorized in that they are not easily deciphered by knowing phonetic sounds. Kindergarten students are taught to read by a variety of techniques, and sight words are an important part of beginning reading.
Kindergarten students will be introduced to chapter books later in the year. Marilyn Anderson has published a delightful set of chapter books for kindergarten students that contain beginning sight words and sight words that will appear later in the year as children learn to read. The illustrations in each of these books are colorful, and the stories are ones that kindergarten students will easily relate to.
*"The Kindergarten Kids Color Everything Yellow" by Marilyn Anderson is a humorous story about the color yellow. The 12 easy to read chapters are filled with the color yellow. This book features sight words from the first list that kindergarten students will be introduced to. This list ranges from the simple with examples: and, the, is, be, to more difficult such as jump, again, and look. This book has an ISBN of 2940016209227. This books is available in an e-book form.
*"The Kindergarten Kids Go Green" by Marilyn Anderson features all things green. The story contains 11 chapters with sight words that kindergarten students will be expected to learn throughout the school year. This book has an ISBN of 2940016460789.
*"Kindergarten Party Play Date With first Grade Friends" will have your students laughing and wanting to discover whether or not the Bad Bunny will crash the party when kindergarten and first grade friends meet each other for a friendship party. This book in the series of chapter books by Anderson contains more difficult sight words that kindergarten students will encounter as the year progresses. This book has an ISBN of 2940149049431.
Check out these books to give young readers a good start in learning sight words and in learning to read longer books that are written in chapters.

Samsung Galaxy Note III (SM-N900 with Exynos 5420 processor, SM-N9005 with Snapdragon 800) launch details leaked
Samsung's Galaxy Note III is definitely going to be announced next month, on September 4, in Berlin. Samsung itself has hinted at this.
However, until then, you may want to know exactly where the different versions of the new Note's will be released.
Sam Mobile has a list of countries that will get the Note III SM-N900 (which features an Exynos 5420 Octa processor), and a list of countries where the Note III SM-N9005 (powered by Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon 800) is expected to arrive.
The SM-N9005 is the LTE-capable version, and should be launched in quite many markets, including the US (of course), UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Japan, Philippines, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Australia.
The SM-N900 (non-LTE) won't make it to the US. But it will be sold in the UK, Germany, France, India, Indonesia, and other regions.
To see the complete lists, go here at Sam Mobile.
There's also a Note III SM-N9002 (Exynos 5420). This will be specifically made for China, supporting two SIM cards.
All three versions should sport 5.68 Full HD AMOLED displays, featuring 3GB of RAM and 13MP rear cameras. The battery should be the same for all models: a 3,200 mAh unit. As for the OS at launch, this will certainly be Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.

Houston Dynamo have made a significant move with their youth development set up as they announced on Wednesday that the Dynamo Under-23s will begin play this season.
The addition of the U-23 side plugs that final gap between the youth teams of the Dynamo Academy and the senior Houston Dynamo team and now provides a viable pathway for Houston youth players to the Dynamo MLS squad and the USMNT.
It will be a short season in their first year as they will only play through May to July, working the same schedule as a PDL team, although they will not be competing in that league.
The timing does allow Houston to attract college talent, but not competing in the PDL, like Chicago Fire's U-23s do, will prove a barrier to attracting the best talent, as PDL is a long established pathway to MLS.
Instead of competing in the PDL the team will play in tournaments and friendlies throughout the summer months, with the Copa Alianza at Houston Sports Park on May 24-26 kicking things off before the US Men's U-23 Cup in Pennsylvania on June 13-15, more tournaments and friendly opponents are to be announced later.
Director of youth development, James Clarkson, will be the head coach, with Edddie Robinson and Tom Harris acting as assistants, a role Robinson already holds under Clarkson as the assistant director.
Six players, formerly of the Dynamo Academy, have already joined the squad, all hailing from the Houston area, but currently studying at universities throughout the country.
The squad will be formed through trials and general scouting, with trials to be announced shortly, and the squad being formed up until kick-off in May.
With four of the six players already signed playing in midfield it's clear that there will be plenty of spaces open to defenders, and even a couple of goal keepers with just one goalkeeper, Fernando Pina in the squad.

LODI — Two Spencer brothers were charged with second-degree felony robbery Thursday after they allegedly robbed a Lodi convenience store early that morning.
Billy Lafferty, 28, and Jessie Lafferty, 27, — both of 219 Liberty St. — are being held at Medina County Jail on $200,000 bond, a jail spokeswoman said Friday.
Police were called to a robbery at Circle K, 441 Medina St., at 12:57 a.m. Thursday, Lodi Police Chief Keith Keough said Friday. Witnesses said two male subjects wearing ski masks and dark clothing entered the store and immediately accosted a male clerk. Keough said the suspects tied up the clerk and then took him to a rear storage room, leaving him on the floor.
The men reportedly ransacked the store and took hundreds of dollars worth of cigarettes in cartons and lottery tickets, according to Keough. He said they also took an undetermined amount of cash.
The two fled on foot toward Vandemark Road and the clerk was able to free himself from the bindings.
Keough said an officer and a K-9 unit with the Seville Police Department tracked the alleged robbers to a nearby trailer park parking lot. He also said a Lodi officer saw a car pull out of the parking lot at a high rate of speed just after the robbery.
Keough said the license plate on the car corresponded to an acquaintance of the Laffertys. He said police obtained a search warrant for the car and later for the Laffertys' residence. He said officers found materials at the home that led to the Laffertys' arrest.
"A successful conclusion to this robbery is the direct result of the teamwork and cooperation between the Lodi Police Department and the Medina County Sheriff's Office, Seville Police Department and Spencer Police Department," Keough said.
