Creation Story

"Heart of My People"
as told by Aunty Beryl Carmichael
This is the creation story of Ngiyaampaa country, as well as the land belonging to Eaglehawk and Crow. Now long, long time ago of course, in the beginning, when there was no people, no trees, no plants whatever on this land, "Guthi-guthi", the spirit of our ancestral being, he lived up in the sky. So he came down and he wanted to create the special land for people and animals and birds to live in. So Guthi-guthi came down and he went on creating the land for the people - after he'd set the borders in place and the sacred sights, the birthing places of all the Dreamings, where all our Dreamings were to come out of.
(An Aborigine Creation Story)
Guthi-guthi put one foot on Gunderbooka Mountain and another one at Mount Grenfell. And he looked out over the land and he could see that the land was bare. There was no water in sight, there was nothing growing. So Guthi-guthi knew that trapped in a mountain - Mount Minara - the water serpent, Weowie, he was trapped in the mountain. So Guthi-guthi called out to him, "Weowie, Weowie", but because Weowie was trapped right in the middle of the mountain, he couldn't hear him. Guthi-guthi went back up into the sky and he called out once more, "Weowie", but once again Weowie didn't respond. So Guthi-guthi came down with a roar like thunder and banged on the mountain and the mountain split open.
Aborigine Creation Story
Weowie the water serpent came out. And where the water serpent traveled he made waterholes and streams and depressions in the land. So once all that was finished, of course, Weowie went back into the mountain to live and that's where Weowie lives now, in Mount Minara. But then after that, they wanted another lot of water to come down from the north, throughout our country. Old Pundu, the Cod, it was his duty to drag and create the river known as the Darling River today. So Cod came out with Mudlark, his little mate, and they set off from the north and they created the big river. Flows right down, water flows right throughout our country, right into the sea now.
And of course, this country was also created, the first two tribes put in our country were Eaglehawk and Crow. And from these two tribes came many tribal people, many tribes, and we call them sub-groups today. So my people, the Ngiyaampaa people and the Barkandji further down are all sub-groups of Eaglehawk and Crow. So what I'm telling you the stories that were handed down to me all come from within this country.
From the Popul-Vuh of the Quiche Maya
Creation of the [Maya] World
"God made some men of mud, but they were very soft and limp and couldn't see. They could speak, but what they said didn't make sense. When they got wet the couldn't even stand up. God saw that they were of no use so he broke them up and said "I will try again". Then he made men out of wood. The wooden men were better; they could walk and talk. They built houses and had children, and there were very many of them. But they were dry and yellow, and their faces had no expression, because they had no minds nor souls or hearts. They beat their dogs and they burned the bottoms of their cooking pots. They had forgotten how they were made and could not remember any of the names of God. So he said,
"These men will not do either. I must destroy them also". And he sent a great flood and the houses of the wooden men fell down. The wooden men wanted to escape, but the animals they had starved and beaten, and cooking pots they had burned, and the trees whose branches they had chopped off, all turned against them and wouldn't help them. Only a few of them escaped from the flood, and it is said that their descendants are the monkeys. And it still hadn't dawned; and God wanted to make real men when the dawn came and the sun rose. . . . He took ears of yellow corn of white corn and ground them into meal. With the corn meal he make nine kinds of liquor, and these became man's strength and energies. With the dough of the meal he shaped the body and he made four men, very strong and handsome. They were called the Wizard of the Fatal Laugh, the Wizard of the Night, the Careless and the Black Wizard...They were gifted with intelligence and they managed to know everything there is in the world. While the men slept, he made four women very carefully, and when the men woke, each found at his side a beautiful wife. .
. . When they looked they would see everything that was around them, and they constantly contemplated the arch of the sky and the round face of the earth. "Thank you for our life!" they said. "We can see, we can hear, we can move and think and speak, we feel and know everything, we can see everything in the earth and in the sky. Thank you for having made us, Oh Father!" Then the Creator was troubled, for he realized that these men could see too much and too far, so that they would not really be men, but gods. He saw that he had to change them so that they could be what he needed. So he leaned down and blew mist in their eyes and clouded their vision, like breathing on a mirror, and from then on nothing was clear to their sight except what was close to them. The four men and their wives went up on a mountain and waited for the dawn. First they saw the shining face of the great star, the Morning Star which comes ahead of the sun, and burned incense and unwrapped three gifts to offer the sun. Then the sun came up. Then the puma and the jaguar roared and all the birds stretched their wings and sang, and the men and their wives danced with joy because the sun had risen."
Raven was so lonely. One day he paced back and forth on the sandy beach feeling quite forlorn. Except for the trees , the moon, the sun, water and a few animals, The world was empty. His heart wished for the company of other creatures. Suddenly a large clam pushed through the sand making an eerie bubbling sound. Raven watched and listened intently as the clam slowly opened up. He was surprised and happy to see tiny people emerging from the shell. All were talking, smiling, and shaking the sand off their tiny bodies. Men, women, and children spread around the island. Raven was pleased and proud with his work. He sang a beautiful song of great joy and greeting. He had brought the first people to the world.

Schooling the boss on the links
August 02, 2012
I have been doing my golf column for a few summers now.
Whether it was playing with my former boss, a college golfer or a golf pro, I was always at an inherent disadvantage with my inconsistent, sometimes laughable, downright stinky golf game.
I'm always interested in firsts, and Friday was a refreshing change of pace.
Playing at the Hawk's View Barn Hollow Course, a challenging yet beautiful 18-hole par-3 which complements the two full-sized courses, I had the privilege of playing with a first-time golfer. But this wasn't just some average dude. It was my boss, Lake Geneva Regional News General Manager and Editor John Halverson, who was finally getting around to his first golf round at the tender age of 65. (Pick up a copy of this week's Regional News to get Halverson's side of the story).
There was the pressure of playing golf with my boss for the first time and impressing him. Also, I was coupled with a golf rookie, so my comical skills and limited knowledge of the game were all Halverson had to work with.
Though Halverson hadn't played an actual round of golf, he "hit the ball around" some 40 years ago, and someone gave him a lesson back in 2000. Also, I was under the impression he played a few times in the past, but when we got to the first hole of the front-nine, Halverson informed me he was a golf newcomer. He even threw in that he was "lousy" at mini golf.
Could I, a person who routinely loses golf balls in hazards and threatens those around him with erratic play, actually teach someone how to golf? "I don't want to fail at a new sport," Halverson said while we waited for a foursome to play through. Well, we had to try first. I recently learned from playing with golf pro Jim Gaugert, and my friend Shawn may have recently corrected my "baseball" golf swing into a real golf swing. So I felt like even if I played badly Friday, I could at least sound like I knew what I was talking about to Halverson.
Playing right after four 10-year-olds who made us look like 5-year-olds, Halverson and I finally teed off on the 75-yard first. To make things as easy as possible, I picked the par-3 course, and we usually teed off from the closest tees. That's right, two adult men were starting from the same place as 8- and 9-year-olds. But Halverson was grounded in his approach and didn't expect much.
With a high backswing that almost hit him in the back of the head, Halverson's baseball swing shot the ball straight to the right and directly into a bunker. He hit the ball about 60 yards, and I was impressed by his contact.
I tried to teach him the Gaugert way of exiting a bunker, opening the face and hitting the sand beneath the ball. But with wet, matted-down sand, Halverson got out of the hazard on his first try. Unfortunately, the ball rolled across the green and into the opposite rough. After another powerful shot (he was swinging too hard), Halverson got to his putt game, which needed a major overhaul. He was winding up and giving a full swing with his putter, which caused the ball to speed past the hole several times. I taught Halverson to swing his putter easy like a pendulum, and he eventually two-putted. He finished the hole with an eight.
I shouldn't talk. My tee, though majestically high and straight, landed in tall grass beyond the green. I smashed out of the grass and onto the green, but three-putting gave me a five. My new "golf" swing marked a major improvement in my game.
For our second hole, we were encouraged by an employee to move to the back nine, most likely because we were taking so long. We heeded his advice and drove over to the 10th hole. Playing from the 79-yard red tees, Halverson went through some growing pains. After topping a few shots and chunking another, he finally relaxed and wound up on the green. Halverson said he was concerned about the water hazard to the right of the green. Sometimes, you have to just say screw it and hit the ball without thinking so much. The more Halverson trusted his swing, the more success he had on the day.
I hit from the 106-yard middle tees with a 9-iron and smacked my best shot of the day, which landed roughly 20 feet from the hole. My notorious slice was almost gone thanks to my new golf swing. I used a lot of torque on my shot and finished high with my chest facing the flag. Then, I read the green well and sank the birdie despite a steep left-to-right slope. It was the second birdie of my life, so naturally I was jumping and shouting and high-fiving Halverson, who shared my excitement.
Though it took him about four shots to get on the green, we counted his "good" tee shot as his first shot. He couldn't yet shake the hitch in his swing on the green. Instead of lightly tapping the ball, he was swinging for the fences. A four-putt left Halverson with a five.
By the third hole, the 103-yard 11th, Halverson was improving his short game. After a 50-yard tee shot that landed in the bunker, Halverson made it two-for-two on sand blasts. With steel nerves, he used his "hazard-schmazard" mentality and hit a nice safety shot about 30 yards back onto the fairway and just short of the green. Halverson was on the green in three, and he three-putted to a solid six. Halverson choked up on the club when putting instead of swinging and let his wrists out a bit more. He said he felt more in control. I could tell my shot-in-the-dark tips were helping.
Once again, I was on the green in one thanks to a solid tee shot. However, my putting was awful and I finished with a four. My slice was nowhere to be found, and I was making solid contact with my irons. I was beating Halverson, and though it was only his first time, it still felt good because normally my playing partner embarrasses me.
On the 80-yard 12th, Halverson had his shining moment. After three unsuccessful drives, it was time to get hands-on with my teaching. I warned him I wasn't trying to be "awkwardly on him," but I felt compelled to stand behind Halverson and literally guide his arms through his tee shot. His backswing was knocking him off-balance and causing too much body movement. I taught him to not swing so far back on his backswing, and it corrected his hitch. Halverson started back slowly, but exploded through the ball with a controlled, relaxed swing. His tee shot went straight at the hole and came within inches of the flag. Hallelujah! He looked like a pro, and I couldn't believe I actually taught someone a correct golf tip.
However, Halverson was back to his crushing ways on the green and finished with a five. But it didn't matter because his tee shot was a thing of beauty.
I continued looking like an entirely new golfer. My tee shot was straight and stopped on the green, and I two-putted for the par. Although I was playing par golf for three holes, I knew the roof would cave in soon.
Unfortunately, that roof started weakening on the next hole, the 68-yard 13th. Halverson and I both drove the ball way to the right, but he was about 10 yards further than me. We faced a difficult second shot, with an uphill lie on the green. But if you hit it too far, you would roll down a steep hill.
Halverson's approach landed on the green, and he was in good shape. "I'm starting to understand what I'm doing wrong," he said. "I found a sweet spot between relaxing and too tense with my grip."
I felt Halverson on my heels and hit my second shot way too far and wound up down a hill behind the green. I salvaged the hole with a decent chip onto the green. Then, Halverson and I both three-putted. He finished with a five, which beat my six. Finally, he beat me on a hole, which proves I'm as bad as I always was and he's a fast learner.
Our final hole, the 89-yard 14th, was a complete disaster. We both agreed it would be our last hole. Halverson got little to no distance on four tee shots, and I took five tee shots. Two went in the water hazard to the right of the green, and the others were weak ground balls. Only one of mine was a good golf shot, which hit the green first before bouncing into the drink.
We wanted to keep playing, but when we saw the group behind us waving at us and basically telling us to hurry up, we knew it was time to pack it up. We quickly gathered our six or seven "misses" and called it a day.
Unofficially, Halverson shot a 29 in five holes. I finished with a 20, including a birdie and a par. It was probably some of the best golf I've ever played. My tee shots weren't slicing, and my putting was generally accurate. My new golf swing, with more torque and a higher finish, was paying dividends.
As for Halverson, I was impressed by his willingness to learn and steady improvement throughout the day. His tee shot on the 12th was a straight-up miracle, and he hit well out of the bunker. His middle game was solid, as he was comfortable chipping. However, his putting is quite unorthodox and resembles his drive a little too much. But his putt grip and swing improved tremendously throughout the day.
Above all, we had a great time. Halverson enjoyed my positive encouragement after bad shots, and we both enjoyed the calm, peaceful setting of Hawk's View. Ice-cold beverages helped mask our failures and accentuate our successes. For my first time in a "teacher" role, finally I didn't feel like the worst golfer on Earth. I had the rookie Halverson to shoulder that burden. Just kidding, John.
Halverson showed great potential. He already wants to play again, so I may have achieved my goal — turning a non-golfer into a recreational golfer. And, most importantly, I got to tell my boss what to do for a couple hours, and he could do nothing but listen. Priceless.

Sometimes it's good to put all the CG and crazy psychological thrillers behind us and sit down and watch a good ole fashion american slasher film. While most films are going in a more grindhouse route a few know that all we need is a good body count, some hot ass, and mystery killer. It's something as traditional as the apple pie in the horror world and it is what we have in the new film starring Eric Roberts and Danielle Harris, Camp Dread.
The film involves a former horror film director (Roberts) who is looking to return to the placer of his greatest blood filled flick "The Summer Camp" (sound familiar?). This time he is looking to take an advantage of the reality bug and enlists a bunch of potential rehabbers looking for a second chance. The task is simple, survive the show and become a millionaire. While some are hesitant to accept the "too good to be true deal" others look to take full advantage of the offer by any means necessary. That includes killing.
Camp Dread is a head twisting who done it killer flick that really reminds us of the golden years (80's). It's violently insane with classic kills and great hysterics. These types of films are what created the "campy" sub genre in horror that you would go see at your local drive in. Roberts is great as the manipulative and inhuman director who comes to blows with town Sheriff (Harris) hell bent on not letting this reality series disrupt her town. Danielle is a consummate professional that shows she is much more than just a scream queen.
What will draw you into Camp Dread is the dynamic cast of characters that have been assembled to participate. Every cliche is fulfilled from the token black dude to the raunchy slut. As with most horror films these days the "bro culture" is very well represented but also is the key to deceit and delusion found in Camp Dread. This film will catch you off guard and leave you speechless with it's conclusion. Not too often are we privy to a film that we think we know what is going on the entire time but then are completely blindsided. Camp Dread will have you begging for more!
Camp Dread is one of the sneakiest films we have seen so far into 2014 and should do well among fans. Often times we are so diluted with mind numbing found footage or dense supernatural films that we miss the fun of good old fashion killing. Camp Dread is a reminder of this and while not as good it holds a candle to great slashers in recent history like Like To Rest. We are sure the haters are out in droves tearing this film apart but don't be fooled by the meaningless masses of uneducated horror fans Camp Dread is worth your viewing!
Camp Dread is directed by Harrison Smith and stars Eric Roberts, Danielle Harris, Kyle Patrick Brennan, Ashley Caspermeyer, and Nicole Cinaglia. It is now available on DVD and is being distributed courtesy of RLJ/Image Entertainment.

Hi DT-boy, and thanks for your contributions to Grand Theft Wiki. Please stop adding move tags to the DLC pages, as this has been discussed in the past. Unlike Wikipedia, we value usability over having 100% correct page titles - The Lost and Damned is much easier to type than Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned, and is also what it's more commonly known as. However, feel free to redirect any titles that you wish (I'm pretty sure that it should already have been done for the most obvious titles). Thanks!

After announcing the event on Wednesday, The UFC "Fight for the Troops" card is starting to fill up.
The UFC announced on Friday night two more fights that are set to take place on Nov. 6 at Fort Campbell in southern Kentucky. Colton Smith vs. Michael Chiesa and Dennis Bermudez vs. Nik Lentz are the newest additions to the card.
Smith, an active Army Ranger, will be making his lightweight debut after suffering a TKO defeat to Robert Whittaker in a welterweight fight in May at UFC 160. The 26-year-old won season 16 of "The Ultimate Fighter" as a welterweight.
Chiesa is best known for winning season 15 of "The Ultimate Fighter" and overcoming his father's death during the show. The Colorado native lost his first professional fight in June to Jorge Masvidal by submission at UFC on FOX 8.
Lentz is currently ranked in the top ten in the official UFC rankings. "The Carny" is on a three-fight win streak after making his featherweight debut last year at UFC 150.
After losing in the "The Ultimate Fighter 14 Finale," Bermudez is quietly on a four-fight win streak. The 26-year-old is coming off a split decision win over Max Holloway in May at UFC 160.
UFC "Fight for the Troops 3" is expected to be headlined by a middleweight fight between former Army Ranger Tim Kennedy and former UFC light heavyweight champ Lyoto Machida. Also on the card, Rustam Khabilov will take on Jorge Masvidal and Seth Baczynski will take on Neil Magny.

Upon learning that an announcement was imminent in the Jameis Winston sexual-assault case, ESPN did the right thing by canceling Will Ferrell's Ron Burgundy guest appearance Thursday's 3 p.m. "SportsCenter." There's a time and a place for that sort of light-heartedness on ESPN. Thursday after the resolution of such a case wasn't it.
Speaking of potential "SportsCenter" guest hosts, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that President Barack Obama recently told Disney honcho Robert Iger that he'd like to serve as host for the "SportsCenter Top 10" after he retires. The report implied that Obama was joking. I wouldn't be so sure. There's a reason they call him the "First Fan."
Now we know one of the NFL's ulterior motives in staging games in London: the ability to create an additional TV window. The good news: bonus football on Fox when the Lions and Falcons play next Oct. 26. The bad: Kickoff is at 6:30 a.m. PT. I've always liked how early football starts on the West Coast. But 6:30? That's pushing it.

Tuesday, 19 Aug 2014 12:27 PM
Bank of China Ltd. more than doubled its money set aside for bad loans as profit growth cooled to the slowest pace in five quarters on weakness in the economy.
Provisions for potential soured debt climbed to 12.7 billion yuan ($2.1 billion) in the second quarter, up 116 percent from a year earlier, based on half-year figures released by the Beijing-based company. Net income rose 8.5 percent to 44.4 billion yuan, the earnings statement showed.
The nonperforming loans of China's fourth-largest bank surged to 85.9 billion yuan, the highest in more than five years, as companies struggled with repayments in an economy at risk of the weakest full-year growth since 1990. The nation's lenders are already trading at the cheapest price-to-earnings valuations of global banks.
"The biggest concern for Bank of China is their asset quality," Chen Xingyu, a Shanghai-based analyst at Phillip Securities Research, said. "The trend is very obvious. We expect nonperforming loans to continue rising in the next two quarters."
The bank's net income compared with the 44.9 billion-yuan median of 10 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey. Its net interest margin, a measure of lending profitability, narrowed to 2.27 percent at the end of June from 2.29 percent at the end of the first quarter. Nonperforming loans amounted to 1.02 percent of total advances, up from 0.98 percent in the previous quarter.
Economic Outlook
At a briefing in Beijing, President Chen Siqing said the company had stepped up efforts to dispose of bad credit, adding that the economy faced downward pressure in the second half of the year. Gross domestic product may expand 7.4 percent this year, a Bloomberg survey shows.
Shares of Bank of China rose 0.3 percent to close at HK$3.68 in Hong Kong before announcing earnings. The stock, which gained 3.1 percent this year, trades at 4.9 times estimated profit for 2014, less than half the benchmark Hang Seng Index's 11.6 times, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
Gluts in industries such as coal and sliding home prices show the risk of bad loans spiraling. Bank of China and other Chinese lenders have this year proposed selling a record $63 billion of preferred and common stock to meet stricter capital requirements that will give them bigger buffers.
Bank of China's net income rose 11.2 percent to 89.7 billion yuan in the first half, according to its statement. Net interest income increased 14 percent to 156.7 billion yuan, while net fee income from services such as credit cards and bond underwriting rose 14.6 percent to 52.1 billion yuan.
Weaker Profits
China's five biggest banks, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd., Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China Ltd., China Construction Bank Corp. and Bank of Communications Co., may report a 7 percent increase in combined net income to 924 billion yuan this year, according to analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. That would be the smallest gain in more than a decade.
Bank of China's bad loans increased 17 percent from the end of last year. The lender had 8.4 trillion yuan of loans outstanding as of June 30, up 11 percent from the end of last year. The lender's capital adequacy ratio, a measure of financial strength, was 11.8 percent, down from 12.5 percent in December. Its Tier-1 buffer was 9.37 percent.
Under China's implementation of Basel III rules, systemically important banks need a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 9.5 percent, with total buffers of 11.5 percent, before the end of 2018.
More Competition
State-run lenders are bracing for more competition under President Xi Jinping's plans to give markets a bigger role in the economy.
The government's planned revamp of the financial industry includes ending an interest-rate system that buoyed profits at the biggest lenders by creating a margin of about 3 percent between what they paid for one-year deposits and charged for loans. The central bank scrapped a floor on lending rates in July last year and intends to remove a cap on deposit rates within one to two years, Governor Zhou Xiaochuan said in March.
The China Banking Regulatory Commission in July approved companies including Tencent Holdings Ltd. to establish three privately owned lenders. The country also plans "mixed-owership reform" for state banks, the National Business Daily this month cited CBRC Chairman Shang Fulin as saying.

VIDEO: UMass Football Spends Summer Helping At Holyoke Boys & Girls Club
June 28, 2014
The UMass Sports Network (@UMassSportsNet) caught up with members of the football team this week during their time helping at the Holyoke Boys & Girls Club. The Minutemen spend time each week during the summer serving as mentors, friends and tutors at the boys and girls club which is beneficial to both the kids and the players.
D.J. Woods, Matt Sparks, Daniel Maynes and Jovan Santos-Knox are all interview, while D'Metrius Williams is mic'd up in the piece.
Woods and Sparks both say the team helps with homework first before doing some more fun activities like playing kickball or doing activities.
Carlos Aponte, a group leader for the Boys & Girls Club, says the work is important because it introduces the children to the concept of being able to go to college. "Knowing that these guys can succeed in college inspires them," says Aponte.
"Giving back to the community is important," says Santos-Knox. "Some of the kids need positive figures in their lives and we are here to support them."
"I was once one of these kids running around a Boys & Girls Club," continues Santos-Knox. "To be able to give back to the Boys & Girls Club which has been a big part of my life is good. But overall, to spend time with the kids is just a lot of fun."

The custodial dad is identified as MICHAEL MARSHALL. Not one word as to how this dude (who has an eerie resemblance to Charles Manson) was able to get custody, or what ever happened to this boy's mother. The grandparents now want custody, though they refuse to say if they knew of the physical condition of this boy, or the situation he was subjected to . Let's be frank: what this poor child suffered was nothing less than torture.
Updated: 5:43 p.m. Friday, March 16, 2012 | Posted: 11:02 p.m. Thursday, March 15, 2012
Couple arrested after starving 40-pound 12-year-old found locked in bathroom
TITUSVILLE, Fla. —
A 12-year-old boy was found locked inside a bathroom of a home where he had been caged and starved for weeks at a time, according to the Titusville Police Department.
Investigators said it's one of the most disturbing local cases of child abuse in recent memory.
Police said the boy was emaciated and weighing only 40 pounds when they found him locked in a bathroom, lying on the floor at a home on Barna Avenue in Titusville on Thursday night.
"I've never seen kids over there. They have yard sales; I have yard sales they come to. I never even knew kids existed over there ever," said neighbor Tina Ray.
Investigators said they later found out the boy would be caged in a closet, strapped to a bed, or locked in the bathroom for days or weeks at a time over the past year.
"This occurred over a period of time," said Cpl. Gary Boyers, of the Titusville Police Department. "We're still trying to figure out what the time period is. Something like a couple of months, possibly even longer."
The boy's father, 39-year-old Michael Marshall, was taken away by police Thursday night. Investigators have charged him with aggravated child abuse and false imprisonment.
"What'd you do to that child? You almost killed him they say," asked reporter Steve Barrett.
"I didn't try to," replied Marshall.
Marshall's girlfriend, Sharon Glass, 48, was also arrested. Detectives said the two were the only adults permanently living at the home, but four other children and two adults were staying there as well.
WFTV learned on Friday that the boy has been out of sight for as many as two years.
A prosecutor was almost brought to tears when he saw the pictures of the boy, which were compared to images of people held in concentration camps.
"You're charged with three counts of child abuse," a judge told Marshall.
Marshall appeared before a judge in a suicide prevention gown looking bewildered.
"This is beyond the pale," said the prosecutor.
In another courtroom, a judge was granting temporary custody of the child and his sibling to their grandmother.
The judge though seemed to question whether the grandmother's home was appropriate.
"If the grandmother has ignored these symptoms in the past, I want to make sure that the grandmother is educated on what the child's needs are, so make sure that's accomplished," said the judge.
After court, the grandparents refused to say whether they knew about the boy's condition before the arrest.
"I'm just shocked. I can't believe someone would do that to their child," neighbor Alanna Dove said.
Marshall and Glass confessed to the caging and punishment after they were interviewed by police. They told police it was done as punishment because the boy began stealing food after food was being withheld from him.
The boy's appearance was severely emaciated and described by hospital staff as resembling images of concentration camp survivors, according to Titusville police.
Police said the boy was treated for dehydration and malnutrition and released from the hospital.
"Right now that's being investigated by the doctors and they'll give us a report back on how bad the situation is," said Boyers.
The children living at the home were taken into the custody of the Department of Children and Families. Some of them were seen being taken away with backpacks.
Marshall was not at home at the time police arrived, but showed up later and admitted to what police called an unlawful caging situation.
Many neighbors said DCF workers checked on other homes on the street, but they don't understand how the children inside the home went unnoticed. Some of the neighbors said they blame themselves as well.
"I feel really bad because we should have known something. We should have suspected something seen something, but we didn't," Dove said.
A school counselor told WFTV the boy was pulled from South Lake Middle School in 2010 to be home-schooled after teachers reported he was being neglected.
"He's just been hidden away and it's hard to believe in this day and age on this busy street this could be happening, but it was," said guidance counselor Betty Bobay.
Both Marshall and Glass are in the Brevard County Jail.

SMU closed out the regular season by defeating Memphis, 2-1, on Senior Night at Westcott Field on Friday. Memphis opened the scoring early with a goal 1:43 into the game.
Sophomore Juan Castillo scored the equalizer at the 37 minute mark. Pressuring forward, Castillo stripped a defender of the ball, deked around the Memphis goalie and shot the ball into the open net to knot the score at one. The goal was his fifth of the season.
Ivo tallied the eventual game-winner exactly one minute later. Junior Ben Hill sent a through ball to Ivo up the right side who went around the Tiger keeper and fired a shot in from a sharp angle. The goal was Ivo's team-leading sixth of the year and his third game-clincher.
SMU lost to Kentucky, 2-0, on Oct. 30 in Lexington. The Wildcats jumped out to a 2-0 lead on goals at 1:25 and 8:00. Redshirt junior goalkeeper Juan Robles saw his first action as a Mustang, coming in to play the second half for SMU.
SMU was defeated by UAB, 1-0, Oct. 26 at Westcott Field. The Blazers recorded the game's only tally in the 39th minute following a corner kick.
SMU had several scoring chances, many missing by just inches. Sophomore Robbie Derschang hit a header off the crossbar following an SMU free kick in the 13th minute. In the 59th minute, senior Diogo de Almeida ran down the left side and fired a shot off the left post. Ivo also had a quality chance when he set up for a free kick from 19 yards out in the 80th minute, but he too hit the crossbar.
Mustang goalkeeper Jaime Ibarra had another solid performance in goal, making six saves on the night. de Almeida also saved a UAB goal with his team save on the line in the 84th minute.
The winner of this quarterfinal match up will face No. 1 seed South Carolina in the semifinals on Nov. 11 at 5 p.m. The Gamecocks went 6-1-1 in league play. SMU was the only team to defeat South Carolina, winning 3-2 in double-overtime on Oct. 12.

She turned the corner and smiled. There, in the glass case behind his desk, was the object of her intention. She thought she would never see its beauty again. Her eyes traced its soft and flowing crimson curves.
Oh how she longed to hold it in her hands once more. As she took a step towards the desk a slight movement in the corner caught her eye.

First Notation:
$f$ is a polynomial in $\mathbb{C}[x,y]$ such that $f=f_1\cdot...\cdot f_s$ is the decomposition of $f$ into relatively prime irreducible polynomials.
$f_x:=\frac{\partial f}{\partial x}$ and $f_y:=\frac{\partial f}{\partial y}$.
Let $\langle f_x, f_y\rangle =\bigcap\limits_ {i=1}^sq_i$ be the primary decomposition of $\langle f_x, f_y\rangle$.
We now define the ideals $a:=\bigcap\limits_ {i=1}^mq_i$ and $b:=\bigcap\limits_ {i=m+1}^sq_i$ so that each $q_i$, for $1\leq i\leq m$, corresponds to a singular point of $f$.
Furthermore, the primary ideals $q_i$, for $\:m+1\leq i\leq s$ correspond to the irreducible components of the variety $\mathfrak{V}(\langle f\rangle)$, which is a plane curve by definition.
I have already shown that the vector spaces $(q_i:\langle f\rangle)/q_i$, for $\:(m+1)\leq i\leq s$, have the dimension zero. I have also shown that for $1\leq i\leq m$, $dim((q_i:\langle f\rangle)/q_i)>0.$ (*)
So the statement I would like to prove says that if all the singular points of the curve $\mathfrak{V}(\langle f\rangle)$ have the multiplicity one, then the dimension of the vector space $\bigoplus\limits_{1\leq i\leq m}(q_i:\langle f\rangle)/q_i$ is equal to the number of the singular points of $f$. If the multiplicity of a singular point is more than one, then the dimension of $\bigoplus\limits_{1\leq i\leq m}(q_i:\langle f\rangle)/q_i$ is greater than the number of singular points. .
We know that if the primary ideal $q_i$, $1\leq i\leq m$, is of the form $\langle x-a, y-b \rangle$ then $\mathbb{C}[x,y]/q_i$ has the dimension one. Then by the (*) above I can say $(q_i:\langle f\rangle)/q_i$ has dimension one. But can I say if the multiplicity of a singular point of f is one, then the corresponding primary ideal is always of the form $\langle x-a, y-b \rangle$? When yes, why?
Thanks, Alex

I have been without a weave for 8months. lol I have been rocking the straight and relax style, which i look hot in btw. I am growing out my relaxer. This past week, it has been raining all weekend. I went got my hair laid because rain or not, i needed my hair done and i wanted to hit the club. I went home and took a nap. By the time i woke up, it had stop raining. I got dress, unwrap my hair and bumped it to get it a little straighter. I step outside and stopped dead in my tracks. When i felt all the humidity and mist in the air, i became so upset. I just knew the night was not going to look pretty. Within minutes, my hair pouf and frizzed up so bad, all i could do was laugh. I got creative and pin my hair in a wild n crazy updo and i enjoyed my night. So yea, i am about ready for a new hairstyle something long and wavy. Below are links to my current style and a nice picture of my and my friends. http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/8150/img0011... http://yfrog.com/evimg00146pj http://img213.imageshack.us/img213/9420/img0024... http://yfrog.com/2oimg00104j↓
Hey my name's Martha (martha K. on facebook and @marthak1985 on twitter) I had this dream once were I was a hair model, I walked onto the set said a few lines and then turned my head in such a way that the sun shone on my long thick black hair, as it swayed past my shoulders... In the absence of an actual hair modelling career and long hair, there's no reason why I shouldnt have the hair of my dreams. I love my hair, and I love trying out new things with it my current obsession is colour and trying out hairstyles i've never had before because I was too afraid to then (not to mention growing my hair out). I had my first weave done about two months ago and it looked gorgeous and I am really keen to try one again though this time i want something different. I've never had a long, wavy hairstyle- i've had curly, long and straight hair, red hair, black hair, and even brown hair - but it all has one thing in common- EVERYONE has it :( . I need to change my hairstyle the same way that Mehcad Brooks and Jacob Black need to permanently lose their t shirts. My current hairstyle is long, straight and red; before that i had a short lived curly do. Im trying to move away from the norm- the same old hair styles and hair types- I want to conquer the world with gorgeous hair that commands attention with each step that I take. I added a link to a photo album with my last few hairstyles- the red one being the most recent :D THE LINKS:http://yfrog.com/69ao3jhttp://yfrog.com/htjd3jhttp://yfrog.com/nai4zjhttp://yfrog.com/n56uej↓

According to Congresswoman, Lois Capps of California, "Nurses serve their patients in the most important capacities. We know that they serve as our first lines of communication when something goes wrong or when we are concerned about our health."
Born May 12, 1820, Florence Nightingale was the founder of modern nursing. After tending to wounded soldiers on the battlefields during the Crimean War, she became known as the Lady of the Lamp. She would make her rounds of the wounded at night, carrying a lamp. After the war, Nightingale founded a nursing school in at St. Thomas' Hospital in London. The nursing school is now part of Kings College in London.
Nurses today still take the Nightingale pledge, a statement of ethics and guiding principles for nursing: the pledge vows to "abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous" and to "zealously seek to nurse those who are ill wherever they may be and whenever they are in need." The pledge was revised in 1935, and now states, the aim for each nurse to become a 'missioner for health, dedicated to the advancement of human welfare." This addition to the pledge broadened the focus of nursing from the private sector to nursing's role in public health.
On May 12, the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightengale, the International Council of Nurses commemorates this event by celebrating International Nurses Day. "Nurses, A Force for Change" is this year's theme. "An educated nurse workforce + a good work environment=high quality care", which according to the International Council of Nurses, is vital at both the local and global levels as fundamental for providing qualty health care for all people.
According to Florence Nightengale, "Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, it requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter's or sculptor's work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God's spirit? It is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts." We have probably all had experiences where nurses have been supportive, informative, comforting, and in many cases, angels of mercy at times of great distress or crisis. For all those nurses who dedicate their lives to helping not only the patients they tend but also the families and friends of those who are part of the patient's lives. Nurses are there at the most remarkable times of our lives, and vital to what makes any health care system operate effectively, efficiently, and compassionately.
The International Council of Nurses helps unify the message of nursing's vital role. Some of the programs they are involved in include the following:
Noncommunicable Disease Awareness, Treatment, and Prevention
Positive practice environment for health care workers.
"Patients and the public have the right to the highest performance from health care professionals and this can only be achieved in a workplace that enables and sustains a motivated well-prepared workforce."
Some actions steps necessary for providing and maintaining positive health care environments for all health care workers.
On this International Nurses Day, let us be reminded of the commitment to increase and support patient education and information. Let us support nursing's aim to be responsible for greater patient awareness and responsibility for being informed about their own health and healthcare. Let your friends who are nurses know how much you appreciate what they do for your community. Take time to let a nurse know how much you appreciate what they do for you and your family and loved ones. Take steps to act on the feeling of gratitude you might have for the loving support of a maternity nurse when you first held your child and couldn't figure out how to nurse correctly. Show your appreciation for a nurse who has stayed up with you throughout a nighttime vigil in ICU or at the death bed of a loved one.
Take time to show a little appreciation for the nurse who helped comfort your child, and allay your fears when you spent a night in emergency with your little one. Nursing demands much from those who take on the challenges of this noble calling. We all expect so much from the nurses we come into contact, and for the most part, we are often given much more than we can imagine possible in our encounters with nurses. Nurses do their work out of a drive to take a vital role in the health of individuals and the whole community. Thank a nurse today, and support better working conditions for all health care workers in your community year round.
"Nursing care comes in many forms. Sometimes it is the ability to make someone feel physically comfortable by various means. Other times it is the ability to improve the body's ability to achieve or maintain health. But often it is an uncanny yet well honed knack to see beyond the obvious and address, in some way, the deeper needs of the human soul." ~Donna Wilk Cardillo, A Daybook for Beginning Nurses
To do what nobody else will do, a way that nobody else can do, in spite of all we go through; is to be a nurse. - Rawsi Williams

Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Saud Al-Faisal led the Saudi delegation to the Ninth Meeting of the Saudi-Egyptian Joint Commission held in Cairo yesterday. At a press conference following the meeting, Prince Saud referred to Saudi-Egyptian relations as fraternal and deep-rooted. Criticizing exaggerated reports by the media, he said that such exaggeration cannot affect these relations, adding that there are many Egyptians living in the Kingdom, and thousands of Saudi citizens in Egypt.
Questioned on the possibility of an Arab Summit on the situation in Iraq, Prince Saud said the Kingdom welcomes any Summit, but always exhorts optimum preparation beforehand, so that implementation of any resolution can be effected, adding that the Kingdom had no reservations about the participation of Iraq in such a Summit.
Concerning the situation in the Sudan, Prince Saud said that Saudi Arabia was supportive of the Egyptian-Libyan initiative.
Addressing the conference, Prince Saud began by expressing condolences to the families of those killed in the recent Egyptair plane crash. He went on to say that the Saudi-Egyptian Joint Commission supports consultation, cooperation and coordination in all fields, and that the Kingdom has been following with great interest the economic reforms recently undertaken by Egypt, which coincide with procedures taken by Saudi Arabia to improve the investment atmosphere so that the private sector can take a more effective role. These measures include the establishment of the Higher Economic Council, whose aim is to facilitate privatization of government projects.
The final statement issued yesterday said both sides stressed the importance of the special close relationship between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Republic of Egypt in view of their political, economic and cultural prominence in the region. To strengthen this relationship, the two sides agreed on the need to increase trade by removing the obstacles facing it, and by finalizing an agreement to set up a free trade zone between them. Reviewing the work of the Saudi-Egyptian Business Council, the two sides expressed satisfaction at cooperation in science, culture, information, youth and sports, and the two national airlines.
Discussing the latest developments in international and Arab arenas, and especially the Middle East, the two sides stated that a lasting and stable peace in the region depends on full commitment to all the relevant United Nations resolutions, especially numbers 242, 338, and 425, and the principle of land for peace. The two sides also stressed the need for the Middle East to be free from weapons of mass destruction, and for Israel to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, putting its nuclear installations under the comprehensive test ban treat of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The two sides reaffirmed their constant stance calling for the preservation of Iraq's independence and sovereignty, concern for the brotherly Iraqi people, and implementation by the Iraqi government of all the relevant UN resolutions so that sanctions can be lifted. They also underlined the importance of preserving the territorial integrity of the Sudan, and the need to work to prevent attempts at division. They deplored the situation in Chechnya, calling for the Russian government to find a political solution through negotiation.
The statement condemned terrorism in all its forms, as a danger to the security of individuals and to the stability of communities, and urged the international community to respond to the call of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak for a global conference on combating the phenomenon. Discussing the challenges facing the Islamic world, the two sides reiterated the importance of economic cooperation among Islamic states and confrontation of any attempt to distort the religion of Islam. The tenth session of the Committee will be held in Riyadh in 2000, the date to be fixed through diplomatic channels.
Following a meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, to whom he conveyed a message from Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz and Deputy Prime Minister and Commander of the National Guard Crown Prince Abdullah, Prince Saud declared that significant achievements had been accomplished during the Commission's meetings. Referring to the situation in the Sudan, he said that no Saudi initiative existed for convening a conference for Sudanese reconciliation, and reiterated the Kingdom's support for the Egyptian-Libyan initiative, hoping that the Sudanese people would respond positively to it.

The coup at Annaly Capital Management (NYSE:NLY) is now complete. On Wednesday, the company filed its annual proxy statement containing information about upcoming shareholder votes, the composition of its board, and the compensation of its executives, among other things.
The only catch is that following Annaly Capital Management's corporate reorganization in 2013, it no longer has to provide the latter. For shareholders who care about how and how much the company's executives get paid, they'll have to be satisfied with this:
As a result of an externalization transaction, we are managed by Annaly Management Company LLC, or the Manager. We pay the Manager a management fee of 1.05% of our stockholders' equity (as defined in the management agreement), and it pays all of the compensation to our named executive officers and its employees. While some of our employees remain employed by our subsidiaries for regulatory or corporate efficiency reasons, all compensation expenses related to such personnel reduce the management fee we pay to the Manager.
If you haven't followed the latest developments, here's the quick and dirty version. Last year, the mortgage REIT's executives formed a separate and privately owned LLC called Annaly Management Company, which, following a shareholder vote, took over the management responsibilities of Annaly Capital Management.
The latter's executives then resigned their positions at the publicly traded company and assumed the same roles at the privately owned one. When all was said and done, in turn, the same people are running Annaly Capital Management, but are now doing so from behind the impenetrable veneer of a private LLC -- which, it's worth noting, the executives own in its entirety.
The net result is twofold. In the first case, Annaly Capital Management no longer has to disclose how much it pays its executives. This will come as a great relief to them, as their exorbitant pay packages have been a serious issue of contention for many years now. And in the second case, the overall compensation levels are now fixed at 1.05% of stockholders' equity, which equates to around $130 million.
Compared with previous years, this may seem like a bargain, as it's vastly less than the $200 million paid out in compensation in 2011. But it's important to note that this appears to have less to do with the reorganization and more to do with the fact that a number of the company's highest paid executives no longer work there.
Founder and former-CEO Michael Farrell, who earned $36 million in 2011, passed away last year. Former CFO Kathryn Fagan, who earned $14 million that year, also recently left the company. And former COO James Fortescue, who earned $7 million in 2011, is gone, too. Add those up, and there's your savings.
Additionally, the now-fixed management fee precludes Annaly Capital Management's ability from giving incentives for exceptional performance. And the flipside is that Annaly's managers now get their exorbitant compensation packages regardless of how the company performs.
Needless to say, this is an amazing deal for Annaly's titular executives and a horrible one for its current shareholders.
The 9-minute dividend strategy better than mREITs
One of the dirty secrets that few finance professionals will openly admit is the fact that dividend stocks as a group handily outperform their non-dividend paying brethren. The reasons for this are too numerous to list here, but you can rest assured that it's true. However, knowing this is only half the battle. The other half is identifying which dividend stocks in particular are the best. With this in mind, our top income analyst put together a report outlining a simple 9-minutes-a-year dividend strategy that should be in every income investor's toolkit. To learn more about this "tax-skipping" dividend trick, all you have to do is click here now.

WATCH: Jason Collins expresses stance on anti-gay laws in UN video campaign
Gay NBA star Jason Collins has expressed his disbelief at countries which crimininalise homosexuality in a United Nations video campaign entitled Free and Equal.
The campaign aims to promote equality for LGBTI people worldwide and has previously featured Stephen Fry, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis as well as Nelson Mandela.
Collins, who came out as gay last year, is the latest campaigner to lend his name to the initiative and has firmly stated his opinion on countries with anti-gay laws.
"In some countries it's illegal to be gay, which is ridiculous and from my standpoint it's absolutely insane to criminalise someone for being who they are with regards to sexual orientation or gender identity," Collins said.
"It's on the same level for me as discriminating against someone because of race."

Every week the fans of "Bar Rescue" watch Jon Taffer and his crew turn a failing bar into a thriving business. As fans intently watch the reality show, the dynamics of the team are tested as the business gets a week to make a complete turnaround. Behind the scenes there is plenty of work to be done outside of the show as the guys are working hard on other projects . According to Quincy Herald Whig on Friday, Russell Davis, a mixology expert seen on the show, is working on a drink experience for space travel.
Russell Davis is an accomplished bartender and now is helping troubleshoot on how to mix drinks and serve them to guests in space without having to put the liquids into bags. The goal? To figure out how the fluid and ice cubes won't just float away when poured into a glass. As gravity is different in space (compared to earth) there are plenty of variables for the experience to work.
Apparently Russell Davis is part of a team of experts working on developing a martini glass that will keep the liquid in a glass during zero gravity situations. Using ridges and angles, there is a demand in making the glass hold the beverage miles above the earth while defying the elements.
Russell Davis is on board of the Cosmic Lifestyle Corporation and the special cocktail glass will be one of the first used in the space tourism industry when civilians get a ride in the upper atmosphere. Looking to really embrace the experience of checking out the stars while sipping a fine alcoholic beverage, this idea sounds quite nice for anyone who loves to cruise way above the jetliner comfort level in the very near future.
"Bar Rescue" airs Sunday night on Spike TV. Russell Davis offers plenty of advice on earth. Fans love it when he helps Taffer make the local bars a little friendlier for earthlings.

Tears are healing. Not only are they a way of shedding the pain that one holds deep inside, they open the door for God to enter in and apply his loving salve to your wounded heart. They are a heartfelt plea to God, one in which no words need to be spoken.
Tears are beautiful. They are a part of our humanity. Even Jesus, in his humanity cried. John 11:35 states "Jesus wept". There is a lot of power in those two words. Jesus was crying not for himself, but for the family of Lazarus, who were deeply distraught over his death. Even though Jesus knew that Lazarus was about to be brought back to life, He was still able to feel so much compassion for the sadness of his friends that he cried.
Tears help us to see. Tears may cloud your eyes temporarily, but when you are finished crying you can often see more clearly the path before you. Cobwebs of doubt, shame, guilt, anger, and sadness are washed away.
Many question why God allows some of the trials that come along in this life. It is because God uses those trials as a means of healing. These are never meant to cause harm. God sees the big picture that humanity does not see. God knows that it is through tears, one's greatest blessings can be revealed.
The beautiful song, "Blessings", by Laura Story expresses these thoughts perfectly.

I'm developing a facebook page tab app. When I set page tab URL in app settings to something like
localhost/fbapp, it doesn't work since the page tab is not simply iframe. Is there any workaround to resolve this?
I'm building facebook page tab with ASP.NET MVC-3.0 with fb C# SDK.
