Specter was raised in Depression-era Kansas. In the small town of Russell, he worked many afternoons in his father's junkyard at the sweaty, backbreaking task of unloading scrap metal from trucks and railroad cars. For his father Harry, a Jewish immigrant from Ukraine, the thriving business during World War II was a step up from peddling blankets and cantaloupes door-to-door, and allowed him to send his four children to college.
Specter graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where his father had relatives. After earning a law degree at Yale, he began his public service in 1959 as an assistant city district attorney.
In his 2000 book, "Passion for Truth," he noted how his father had complained bitterly that the U.S. government had broken its promise to pay a bonus to World War I veterans.
"Figuratively, " he wrote, "I have been on my way to Washington ever since, to get my father's bonus."
He made his name sending six Teamsters' officials to prison for conspiracy to misuse union dues, a victory noticed by U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy. It helped pave the way for Specter's service as a staff lawyer on the Warren Commission investigating the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
He became known as the architect of the "single-bullet theory" that buttressed the finding that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin. Although it has withstood the test of time, the theory was considered by some — and depicted by director Oliver Stone's 1991 film "JFK" — as a magic-bullet concoction designed to cover up a perceived right-wing conspiracy.
Specter wanted next to run for DA, but city Democratic Party leaders didn't have him in their plans. So he became a party-switcher for the first time, running successfully on the Republican ticket in 1965 against his former boss.
He lost the 1967 race for mayor and was defeated in the 1973 DA's race.
He lost the GOP Senate primary in 1976 and the GOP gubernatorial primary in 1978 before winning Pennsylvania's open U.S. Senate seat in 1980 amid the tide of Republicans who took control of the Senate along with Ronald Reagan's presidential election.
Initially, he was part of a robust group of centrist Republicans. As time wore on, and the Republican Party shifted to the right, he became increasingly isolated.
Unapologetic about his political centrism or his Jewish heritage, his positions — such as support for abortion rights or his opposition to a constitutional amendment to reinstate school prayer — often put him at odds with much of the Republican Party.
His terse comebacks, sharp wit and relentless pursuit earned him the nickname "Snarlin' Arlen."
He is perhaps best-known for his role in Supreme Court confirmations — he took part in 14 hearings, he said — because of his long service on the Judiciary Committee and his dogged questioning.
Often, he sought a nominee's assurances that they would give proper weight to legal precedent — the body of law developed through more than a century of Supreme Court decisions.
He helped sink Reagan's 1987 nomination of Robert H. Bork, calling him a "throwback" who would help outlaw abortion.
And in 1991 he earned the enduring anger of many Democrats — and a tough re-election challenge a year later — when he aggressively questioned the honesty of Anita Hill, a law professor who had accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment.
His political centrism forced presidents, colleagues and lobbyists to pursue his vote with extra vigor. At times, it infuriated liberals: The Senate's Democratic majority leader, Harry Reid, wrote in his 2009 book that Specter "is always there when we don't need him."
On the other hand, Reid spoke glowingly about Specter from the Senate floor in April on the one-year anniversary of Specter's party switch.
"I have never seen another senator with a greater willingness to work in a bipartisan manner, to put people over party and encourage others to search their hearts and do what is right," Reid said.

Samuel L. Jackson is known as the most eloquent of those who might say certain four-letter words, and thus a Los Angeles news anchor should count his blessings, as despite Jackson going off on him on Monday, he managed to keep it all clean. The embedded video is from KTLA via TMZ.
Jackson was appearing on KTLA on Monday bto promote his new movie, "Robocop." Before getting into the heart of the matter, entertainment anchor Sam Rubin decided to ask Jackson about his new Super Bowl commercial.
Unfortunately for Rubin, Jackson had no Super Bowl ad. Instead, Rubin was thinking about Laurence Fishburne's Super Bowl commercial. And that is when Jackson went off on Rubin.
"What Super Bowl commercial?" Jackson asked.
It was hilarious, as Rubin kept trying to redirect things to the movie, while at the same time apologizing. Jackson, however, wouldn't let him, as he continued to say "I'm not that (black) guy, or that (black) guy, and on and on."
"You're as crazy as the people on Twitter, I'm not Laurence Fishburne. We all look alike? We're all black and famous."
"You don't know the difference between me and Laurence Fishburne?"
"Really? Really? I'm the other guy. There's more than one black guy doing a commercial."
Watch it.

Someone told the authorities they saw a bear in the upper reaches of Deer Valley in late June, a report that came during a week when the authorities logged a series of other wildlife cases in Park City.
Bear sightings are rare in Park City, perhaps a couple each year, according to the Park City Police Department. The bear seen in Deer Valley would have been a black bear, the only bear species in Utah.
The Police Department received the report at 8:23 p.m. on June 23 after the person contacted the Summit County Sheriff's Office. The person who called the authorities indicated the animal was approximately 600 feet uphill from the Montage Deer Valley in Empire Pass. The terrain in that vicinity is within the boundaries of Deer Valley Resort.
Rick Ryan, a police captain, said the person did not provide details about the bear's direction. A police officer who responded did not see the bear, Ryan said.
The captain said the police do not doubt the person saw a bear. Police and wildlife officials sometimes say people who report seeing other animals like mountain lions or wolves frequently mistake them for domesticated animals like cats and dogs.
"Their shape is pretty distinct from any other animal . . . The way they run and move, I think, is pretty distinct for a bear," Ryan said.
Animals like moose, deer and elk are seen in Park City on a regular basis, and there is an occasional mountain lion sighting. But bears are hardly ever seen.
Chuck English, the director of mountain operations at Deer Valley, said he had not been briefed about the sighting by midday Monday. He said it is "pretty unusual" for a bear to be seen in Deer Valley.
In his 32 years at the resort, English said, he has seen one bear on Deer Valley land. That animal was running down a gated road in Empire Pass three or four years ago, he said. A Deer Valley trail crew saw a bear about 10 years ago at a maintenance shop in the vicinity of Silver Lake Village, he said.
"It's pretty rare, obviously," English said.
Past bear reports in Park City have included a 2010 case when someone who owns a house in Deer Crest saw one in an October surveillance photo of the yard. In 2006, meanwhile, a bear was seen off Woodland View Drive, a small street in upper Deer Valley. That animal was seen on a wooded hillside.
Bruce Johnson, a state Division of Wildlife Resources lieutenant whose region includes the Park City area, said bears at this time of year are searching for food as they prepare for their upcoming winter hibernation.
Johnson said dry summer weather coupled with low snowfall totals last winter has made it more difficult for bears to find berries, an important food source for them. In that scenario, he said, bears expand their search for food beyond their normal areas.
He said the number of bear reports in Summit County this summer has been typical. Johnson anticipates further sightings in Summit County, including in the Park City area, Kamas and the Uinta Mountains.

Jefferies is maintaining its Hold rating on shares of Avanir Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AVNR), but is lowering its price target from $3.50 to $3.00 following the release of its FY11 results.
The firm highlights weekly Nuedexta sales from 2/18 to 12/2 rose less than roughly 30 new patients per week while remaining robust linear. With management's run rate of 1,200+ RX/week, the Jefferies forecasts AVNR will reach breakeven in 2016.
An analyst at Jefferies comments, "While we continue to believe that Nuedexta may become an attractive drug, addressing a large market opportunity for PBA, we note that sales have yet to accelerate. Our current valuation already assumes a long 7 year period of linear growth in sales, so significant upside to the valuation would require an acceleration in uptake. Based on management commentary and physician feedback, we believe that the primary barrier to adoption remains the relatively low priority that physicians place on the diagnosis and management of PBA in patients with complex and debilitating neurological disorders. We expect considerable marketing effort would be required for Nuedexta to ramp to a nonlinear sales trajectory."
Sentiment: Strong Buy
eom = end of message
bom = beginning of message
Ray, Run Rate break-even is likely this FY 2013! NOT 2016! But let's just wait and see what happens and then check back on the matter! Are you still holding a couple hundred shares; if that! LOL
eom = end of message
"With management's run rate of 1,200+ RX/week, the Jefferies forecasts AVNR will reach breakeven in 2016. "
They are obviously the big short at $4.40
When 22 million shares are bought to cover their short, the price will
be $5.00 unless they shorted against the box. If so they will just
go away and the manipulation will cease allowing the share price to
reach fair market value.
Jefferies or Piper Jaffray, which comments make more sense? I will go with Jaffray's recent comments:
"We are initiating on Avanir with an Overweight rating and $6 price target. Avanir develops drugs for neurological diseases with one product, Nuedexta, approved for pseudobulbar affect (PBA), marketed by possibly one of the largest institutionalized-patient-focused sales forces in the U.S. Its Nuedexta-derived pipeline should lower capital and clinical-failure risk, in our view. Nuedexta prescriptions are growing well, but poised to accelerate over 1-4 quarters with an increasingly effective institutional force and recently re-targeted retail effort. We believe the market under-appreciates Nuedexta's broad applicability that supports use in settings like MS-pain and Alzheimer's agitation, both in PhII trials that we expect to become increasingly visible on enrollment updates and data, fueling AVNR appreciation in later 2013 to 1H'14."
I guess you don't like to see the truth? Looks like Jefferies was right and not pumping the stock like you and your fellow pumpers.

As part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) ongoing efforts to focus agency resources on the removal of criminal aliens and egregious immigration law violators, 19 convicted criminal aliens, immigration fugitives and other immigration violators were arrested during an operation carried out last week.
The three-day operation, which concluded Thursday, was conducted by ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) as part of the agency's commitment to prioritize the removal of criminal aliens and egregious immigration violators.
Of the individuals taken into custody, 18 were criminal aliens whose convictions include: drug trafficking, drug manufacturing, aggravated assault, burglary, domestic assault, driving under the influence and illegal re-entry after deportation. The group also included five immigration fugitives who had outstanding orders of deportation and four previously deported aliens. All of these arrests were made in Liberal, Kan.
Those arrested in Liberal, Kan., during the operation include:
"ERO strives to make our communities safer by arresting and removing convicted criminal aliens," said Ricardo Wong, field officer director for ERO Chicago. "By focusing our resources on the most egregious offenders, we immediately improve public safety in that area."
Following is the nationality breakdown of the 17 men and two women arrested: Mexico (11), Guatemala (7) and Honduras (1).
ERO Chicago received significant assistance during the operation from the Liberal Police Department and Seward County (Kan.) Sheriff's Department.
In fiscal year 2013, ICE conducted 368,644 removals nationwide. Eighty-two percent of individuals removed from the interior of the United States had previously been convicted of a criminal offense.
ICE is focused on smart, effective immigration enforcement that targets serious criminal aliens who present the greatest risk to the security of our communities, such as those charged with or convicted of homicide, rape, robbery, kidnapping, major drug offenses and threats to national security. ICE also prioritizes the arrest and removal of immigration fugitives or criminal aliens who have been previously deported and illegally re-entered the country.

Hosts greeted guests at the Harlem Senior Center with a smile. Servers bustled around catering to patrons. The kitchen staff worked quickly to prepare food orders.
It wasn't a traditional restaurant, as none of the staff has reached their teens.
The Dream Academy Restaurant celebrated its grand opening Friday.
"It's their restaurant," Dream Academy Director Betty Kelley said. "It's theirs."
Celebrating black history
Columbia County's largest private animal rescue group is being shut down after the Georgia Department of Agriculture revoked its operating license.
Happy Tails Rescue, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, has until mid-March to find homes for the 38 dogs housed at the rescue's Appling facility, said Department of Agriculture spokeswoman Mary Katherin Yearta.
"We issued a stop order to them, and right now they have 30 days to find homes for the animals," Yearta said. "The case is still open and we are still in the process of working with them."
Christmas Made in the South could be the next annual Augusta event to migrate to Columbia County.
Community and Leisure Services Division Director Barry Smith told commissioners Tuesday during the meeting of the Community and Emergency Services Committee meeting that organizers of the annual Christmas-themed craft show have indicated they want to move the event from James Brown Arena to the county's exhibition hall at the Gateway center near Grovetown.
Aging pipes and valves that could shut down water to the entire Columbia County Detention Center are prompting emergency repairs.
County commissioners, meeting in the Development Services Committee Tuesday, approved spending up to $150,000 in sales tax funds to replace the plumbing in the Appling facility.
The repairs were prompted after a maintenance request from Sheriff Clay Whittle discovered that the valve regulating water pressure to the facility had failed, said Construction and Maintenance Division Director Matt Schlachter.
Upcoming Columbia County footraces will benefit a variety of causes.
• The Strength for Sawyer 5K/One Mile Fun Run will help raise money for 10-year-old Sawyer Mobley, who recently underwent a double lung transplant in St. Louis. The Bel Air Elementary School pupil had been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.
The run will begin at 8 a.m. March 9, at Savannah Rapids Park. Individual registration costs $25, with team rates of $100 for families with four to seven participants and K-12 track teams.
Former Grovetown mayor Dennis Trudeau will step in as a replacement member of city council without a special election.
No election is necessary because he was the only candidate to qualify for the March 19 special election for the vacant city council seat, said Nancy Gay, Columbia County Board of Elections registration coordinator.
Trudeau, 87, qualified for the race to fill the seat of Councilwoman Jennifer Jones, who resigned on Jan. 17. Jones' term ends at the end of 2015.
Evans High School Band Director Reid Hall knew as a teen that she wanted to make a career of sharing her love of music with young musicians.
"By my junior year (in high school), I had the bug," said Hall, who is a saxophonist. "I think it all started with my own personal love of playing, of making music and knowing that I could affect people's emotions through my playing."
Ruth Mead has been so encouraged by the response to the area's first Georgia Master Naturalist Program that she is putting people on a waiting list for the next class.
"We tried to offer the program last year, but it took more work than I thought and I didn't get enough interest from field-trip leaders in time to get a class together," said Mead, senior education specialist at the Southeastern Natural Science Academy at Phinizy Swamp Nature Park and a Georgia master naturalist. "So I began planning this year's program back in September."

BURLINGTON, VT — The results are in from the Vermont 4-H Pumpkin Trial weigh-ins on Oct. 11, with the heaviest pumpkin in the trials hailing from Beebe Plain.
The pumpkin trial, which was sponsored by University of Vermont (UVM) Extension 4-H, was open to all Vermont kids, ages five to 18, who wanted to grow giant pumpkins. Participants were given "mystery" seeds in mid-April to plant. Some choose to start their seeds indoors while others direct seeded into the garden when the danger of frost was past. [Read more…]

Dole Fresh Vegetables has issued a recall on a limited number of their "Seven Lettuces" salads. The affected salads may possibly be contaminated with salmonella, though no illness has be reported at this point.

The salads were distributed in fifteen U.S. states (Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin).
Salmonella can cause serious, sometimes fatal illness, in those with weakened immunes systems. It rarely causes serious illness in healthy adults and children.

Album Notes
TWI's Greats contains re-recorded versions of Bill Anderson's hits including "I Get the Fever," "Mama Sang a Song," "Still," and "Po' Folks." While the performances are adequate, the majority are not in the same league as the originals. Casual listeners should be on the lookout for The Definitive Collection on MCA Nashville. ~ Al Campbell

Lewes and Rehoboth Beach religious leaders recently joined the board members of Beebe Medical Center, physicians, and other Beebe divisions at the dedication ceremony for the new interfaith chapel located in the hospital.

3 Year, 10 months and will not listen!
Hi! My son is "spirited". He received occupational therapy for his activity level. He can pay attention and sit for age appropriate amounts of time, so attention deficient is not an immediate concern. He has trouble regulating himself once overly stimulated and works with the therapist on safety, following directions, deep pressure, etc. However, he does not listen to my husband or I! We are beyond frustrated. We try time outs, taking away toys, withdrawing attention, extinction, YOU NAME IT! He still doesn't listen and we battle at least once a day with him! What can we do?? Thank you so very much!In Topics: Cognitive development

Parable Source: Luke 17:11-19
Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, "Jesus, Master, have pity on us!"
When he saw them, he said, "Go, show yourselves to the priests." And as they went, they were cleansed.
One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus' feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
Jesus asked, "Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?"
Then he said to him, "Rise and go; your faith has made you well."
Bible Version: NIV
It can often be very easy to cry out eagerly to God when we are in need. Let's however always remember to show our gratitude to God as well as other people in our lives for every kindness shown to us.

According to a July 28 report from Cageside Seats, Brock Lesnar will not be on hand tonight in Houston for the live taping of WWE Monday Night Raw. Lesnar, 37, recently returned to the WWE fold to feud with John Cena in the lead-up to next month's SummerSlam pay-per-view spectacular, so the WWE had been using Monday Night Raw and Smackdown events as a vehicle to hype the drama heading into show.
Lesnar collides with Cena in the SummerSlam main event, in a bout that will see the WWE Heavyweight Championship get put on the line. That said, the WWE has been scripting Lesnar and Cena to feud with each other over the past few weeks, in an effort to get fans excited about next month's pay-per-view event. Lesnar and Cena battled each other twice before, and the score is currently tied at one-all.
Next month's SummerSlam pay-per-view is a rubber match that will determine who goes down in history as the all-time winner of the trilogy. Will Cena, the 15-time WWE champ, beat Lesnar for a second time? Probably not. Currently the plan is for Cena to drop the belt to Lesnar at SummerSlam. Lesnar is then expected to have a short title run, before losing the belt to Roman Reigns at Wrestlemania 31. Where Daniel Bryan fits into the title picture is anyone's guess, but he's still rehabbing from a neck injury.
Bryan may be out for up to a year, so the WWE doesn't need to worry about his comeback just yet. Tonight on WWE Monday Night Raw, Cena is expected to address the crowd and discuss his feud with Lesnar. The plan is to have Lesnar return to action next week and the week after, which would give the WWE plenty of time to hype the SummerSlam main event to the fullest. Luckily, Lesnar isn't injured.
He's good to go. It just appears that the WWE wanted to give him some extra rest, so that's why he won't be appearing tonight on WWE Monday Night Raw. Elsewhere on the episode, Paige is expected to continue her feud with AJ Lee and WWE head honcho Stephanie McMahon is expected to address Brie Bella. Tonight's episode of WWE Monday Night Raw also features cameo appearances from Cesaro and Bo Dallas.

Update: Finn was found (safe and sound) and he is happily residing with his adoring family today.
On July 28, in Ft. Stewart, Ga., a military family's beloved dog disappeared in Ft. Stewart, Ga. The dog, a three-year-old Labrador retriever mix named "Finn," ran off after something frightened him. Unfortunately, the dog escaped and no one was able to capture him before he disappeared.
Less than a year ago, Finn was adopted from an abusive situation by Brittany Piel and her family. Prior to being adopted, Finn had spent his life on a chain; his collar was embedded and his parasite infested body showed the effect of neglect. Initially, Finn was a fearful dog, but he blossomed in his loving new home and became a treasured member of the family.
At the time that Finn disappeared, his guardians had been visiting relatives in the area. The Piel family is currently in the middle of a duty station change from Ft. Benning, Ga., to Ft. Bragg, N.C., and they desperately need to find their dog.
A Facebook page has been established to help with the search effort, and fliers are being put up in the vicinity that Finn disappeared from. Since Finn's disappearance, there have been several sightings. The most recent sighting took place this week at the intersection of Old Sunburry Road and 144, across from the Range Control Headquarters building heading towards the gas station.
The individuals who are involved in the search effort have implored anyone who sees the dog to not pursue him or even call his name as it will likely make him bolt again. If anyone spots Finn, the are asked to call 912-222-8314 or 912-321-9296.
Specific details of note: Finn is micro-chipped and is wearing a blue collar. He is black with a small white patch on his chest and weighs approximately 80 lbs.

Java web services and SOA
Loosely coupled, modular applications are easier to maintain and upgrade than large intertangled legacy applications. Service-oriented architecture (SOA) provides a set of principles or governing concepts that help enterprise architects build better, less expensive applications. Taking an SOA approach means more than just building a lot of Java Web services. Solid SOA services are highly modular, with very few (if any) dependencies, and lend themselves directly to reuse. Still, the integration of services and existing application architecture into a cohesive Web services architecture can be very challenging. Enterprise architects may do well to consider adopting not only SOA service standards, but also SOA frameworks and/or Web services frameworks.

|Vandals Back at Home
MOSCOW, Idaho—The Vandal soccer team returns home to Guy Wicks Field on Friday, looking for win number one on the season. Idaho started 2013 on a five game road trip and will welcome in Eastern Washington at 4:00 p.m. PT.
"We certainly expect a hard fought game," head coach Pete Showler said. "They are physical, strong and play with a lot of passion. We will need to counter act that."
Idaho's tough road to open the season came to a close last week with matches at North Dakota State and Creighton. Improvements from the previous three games were made as the Vandals scored their first two goals of the season against NDSU and notched a third at Creighton. Kavita Battan kicked off the scoring for the Vandals with her first career goal, followed in suit by Elexis Schlossarek. Another 2013 newcomer, Alyssa Pease, got the lone goal for the Vandals on Sunday.
"Hopefully we can get the crowd on our side," Showler commented. "We want to see a big crowd here and support us in what we are doing and show these youngsters what the Vanda Pride is all about."
Eastern Washington has had a very similar start to its 2013 season. Entering Friday's match with an equal 0-5-0 record, the Eagles been outscored 2-9 this season. In last season's matchup the Eagles earned a 2-0 victory in Cheney. All-time Idaho has a grasp on the series, 10-6, since first meeting on the pitch in 1999.
UNLV (4-1-1) enters Sunday's matchup with Idaho leading the series 2-0. This is the first trip to Moscow for the Rebels. Last season they defeated Idaho in a tough 1-0 battle. UNLV is coming off a 0-0 tie against Northern Arizona last week. Prior to Sunday's game the Rebels will go up against Washington State on Friday.

Brad's Blog: The Draw 0
Now that everyone has had a few days to let the World Cup draw settle, I wanted to give my thoughts on what transpired. First, as I was sitting on my sofa in England, I had an anxious excitement about the entire draw. It's the feeling of knowing that at some point the USA would be pulled out, but you are constantly hoping for the "easy" group. The thing about the World Cup is that there are no "easy" groups. When we were finally pulled it was pure excitement and everything became that much more real. Now I know everyone is saying that we are in one of the "groups of death" but at the end of the day the World Cup is the best of the best. You have to play the so-called big teams at some point, so for us it is a great opportunity to do that in the group stage.
The game against Ghana obviously brings back memories of 2010 when they knocked us out of South Africa and left a very bitter taste in our mouth. It was a great chance to advance to the next round, but unfortunately we came up a little short in that tournament. Playing Ghana in the first game will only add to the excitement of the 2014 World Cup for everyone associated with the USA!
The 2nd game against Portugal will prove difficult not only because they have one of the best players in the world, but they are a very good team as well. Yes, it is being played in the Amazon, but regardless of the travel, temperature and other outside circumstance, we know we will be up for the game.
Finishing the group stage against Germany will be exciting for many different reasons. The fact that Jürgen Klinsman played for and coached them previously, as well as a few of our players being born there and playing their club football in Germany will have emotions running pretty high. It will be a chance to play a "world footballing power" in a major tournament, and as a professional you want to be apart of those big games that mean everything!
It will be a fantastic lead up to the World Cup as the players and country start to turn their focus to Brazil. We will no doubt be up for the games and with the support of the country behind us, will look to make a deep run in the tournament. The buzz in the USA during and after South Africa was unbelievable for the players and we know it will only be bigger come Brazil.

Asia's Most Prestigious Literary Prize Reveals Longlist
by Bidita Debnath on December 6, 2012 at 12:51 PM Lifestyle News - G J E 4
With entries spread across the region from Turkey to Japan, three debut novelists and a Nobel laureate were among the 15 writers longlisted for Asia's most prestigious literary prize.
The longlist for the $30,000 Man Asian Literary Prize was drawn from 108 published works from nine different Asian countries, submitted to a panel of judges led by literary critic and journalist Maya Jaggi.
Advertisement"The far-ranging stories on our longlist draw the reader into some beautiful and some gruelling landscapes," said Jaggi in a statement.
"From the glaciers of northern Pakistan to the unforgiving Saudi desert; from an affluent Istanbul seaside resort to a Bombay opium den -- and further afield to Montreal and Mexico."
"Silent House," an early work from Turkish writer and 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature winner Orhan Pamuk, made the list after appearing in English for the first time.
Turkey and Iran are among the 35 countries eligible for the prize, which is looking for a new sponsor with London-based Man Group ending its funding for the Asian prize after the 2012 event.
A total of seven books appear in translation, including "Northern Girls" by Chinese author Sheng Keyi, about a sixteen-year-old who abandons her Hunan village and heads for the bright lights of Shenzhen.
Other works include two books that were shortlisted for the 2012 Man Booker Prize for Fiction, which was won by record-breaking British author Hilary Mantel for "Bring up the Bodies" in October.
"The Garden of Evening Mists" by Malaysia's Tan Twan Eng follows a young law graduate who discovers the only Japanese garden in Malaya and its secretive owner and creator.
Jeet Thayil's "Narcopolis", a three-decade exploration of opium addiction, was also shortlisted for the 2012 Man Booker Prize for Fiction and he is one of three Indian authors on the Asian Prize longlist.
"Goat Days" by Benyamin follows the fate of an expat worker in the Gulf who is propelled into a slave-like existence as a goat herder in the middle of the brutal Saudi desert.
Anjali Joseph's "Another Country", follows a twenty-something woman through Paris, London and Bombay at the dawn of the Millennium.
"This list testifies to the strength and variety of new writing coming out of a culturally emergent Asia," said Professor David Parker, Executive Director of the Asian Literary Prize.
"It is full of stories the world hasn't heard before and which the world needs to hear."
A shortlist of up to six titles will be unveiled in early January before a winner is announced in March.
The Man Asian Literary Prize began in 2007 and is given to the best novel by an Asian writer, either written in English or translated into English.
The 2011 Man Asian Literary Prize was awarded to South Korean author Kyung-sook Shin for her novel "Please Look After Mom", a story about a family's guilty soul-searching after the disappearance of their elderly mother that has gone on to sell more than two million copies.
The 2012 Man Asian Literary Prize Longlist:
- Goat Days - Benyamin (India)
- Between Clay and Dust - Musharraf Ali Farooqi (Pakistan)
- Another Country - Anjali Joseph (India)
- The Briefcase - Hiromi Kawakami (Japan)
- Thinner Than Skin - Uzma Aslam Khan (Pakistan)

Japanese Butsuga Edo Period Amida Raigo Image

The raigo zu or the image of the Buddha descending from the pure land is a popular theme in Buddhist paintings in the esoteric and Pureland Buddhist schools. The earliest images were painted during the Heian period with the popularity of pure land Buddhism among the aristocracy in the capital. By the 13th century, with issues in the economy, politics, international affairs, and domestic, Japan felt that it was undergoing an Armageddon known as Mappo in Japanese. Since this period, the Amida raigo images surged in demand and various sculptures, paintings, woodblock prints, and stone pagodas were made for devotees to pray for a comfortable afterlife.
The work of the presented Raigo image comes from the mid-Edo period approximately from the period of 1700 up to the early part of the 19th century. The painting style appears to have come from not from the imperial or shogunal capitals but from a local region where pure land or tendai/shingon Buddhism is heavily practiced. Regional religious works of art retain a more human or unique aura unlike the fine works done in the imperial and shogunate studios where the images appear perfect and the highest details are given to the work. The work presented, does contain details here and there but unlike the imperial examples, do not use excess amounts of paint, details, or gold. The expressions contain a more Japanese or mingei feel rather than the standard Tang-Song dynasty style influences from China or the imperial temples in Chosun period Korea. The scroll mounting is unique for this work of art, where the top and bottom sections are using an baroque like style European or European influenced silks from the 18th-19th century and the central section of the mounting uses, crane and chrysanthemum motif gold brocade.
Condition: Scroll may have been remounted and restored within the last 100 years or so and has been kept in extremely good condition for the age.
Scroll comes with a storage box. The box contains an inscription stating the name of the work, Muryoju butsu or the Buddha of Infinite Life (Image of) and on the bottom that the work was done by a high ranking monk named, Eshin. Upon research and comparison with the work, Eshin was alive during the 12th -13th centuries when the work is from a much latter period. One can only assume that either there was another Eshin during the Edo period or someone wanted to attribute this work to someone in the past, which is common in many religious and secular works.
Size: Scroll: Height: 67.75" / 172.08 cm x Width: 21" / 53.34cm (without ends: 19.25"/ 48.9 cm) Painting: Height: 31.25"/ 79.37 cm x Width: 14.75" / 37.46 cm

Iranian Terror Leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Watches Avatar
As if we needed more proof of why you should ban your kids from seeing the movie Avatar, we now have secret footage of Iranian Terror Lord Mahmoud Ahmadinejad watching this foul movie at one of his terror theaters.
Sources indicate that Ahamdinejad, the man who has vowed death to America and our friend Israel, thoroughly enjoyed the movie. That just shows how Satan's hand is in this, my friends.
Avatar tries to convince us that it's natural to breed with other species, even aliens. This is of course illegal because that one, supports the gay agenda. Gays also want you to think it is okay to have sexuals with a beast such as a dog or cat, so when a gay goes to dilly another man it will seem normal in comparison.
It is all sick and whosoever does such acts will burn in hell!
Avatar is also in 3-d. Scientists in Japan are already trying to use this technology to create 3-d anime porn video games for children to play, and Avatar is where it all started.
We won't even get into the movie's sinister agenda to teach evolution to our children, so as to help liberals convince them that God isn't real and all life on Earth "magically" evolved. This sick agenda is now being forced on our kids outside the classroom and in the movie houses.
Parents, we must keep our guard! Up until this point I didn't suspect Avatar would have a pro-terrorist/pro-9/11 message to it, but since we see Mahmoud Ahmadinejad enjoying it and giving it two thumbs up, it must somehow support his sand-ridden agenda to destroy America. Evil.
Boycott Avatar parents. It is a sick, twisted movie that supports gay, evolution and now we can see terrorists.

Sam's Club to open Jan. 31 on MLK
Published: Friday, January 6, 2006 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 6, 2006 at 9:26 a.m.
HOUMA -- The Sams Club in Houma should be open by months end, company representatives said, and club memberships are already available.
The store is scheduled to open Jan. 31, with the grand-opening ceremony set for 9 a.m.-noon.
Business owners can get a sneak peek a day earlier; invitation-only tours are scheduled from 7 a.m. to noon Jan. 30. The invitations should go out soon, said Jarnette Burke, marketing team lead for the Houma Sams Club.
If you dont already have a Sams Club membership, you can sign up ahead of the opening. Membership drives are being held in area Wal-Mart stores, Burke said.
While those drives -- at tables behind the registers in Wal-Marts from Bayou Vista to Galliano -- are being conducted on Saturdays and periodically during the week, daily membership drives continue at Houma Wal-Marts through January, Burke said.
Or if its handier, potential Sams Club shoppers may stop by the companys office at 6046 W. Park Ave., next to Tobacco Plus, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays to apply for membership or pick up membership cards.
"Its a real exciting time for us, and were real excited to be in this area," Burke said. The buying public is responding, too -- membership sales are going well, she said.
"We have a membership for everyone," Burke said. Prices start at $40 a year for individuals and $35 annually for businesses, according to the companys Web site.
And with products like produce, meat, tires, oil, electronics, jewelry and clothing -- she said, "well have a little of everything."
The Jan. 31 grand-opening festivities include presentations of grant money to various community nonprofit groups and agencies, as well as a 9:30 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony, said Olan James, Sams Club spokesman.
"Sams really gives back to the community and wants to be a good neighbor," Burke said.
When the 135,000-plus square-foot Sams Club opens, it aims to have 200 people on its payroll, James said.
One hundred associates have already been hired, he said. Applications are still being accepted at the companys West Park Avenue office until Jan. 27.
Sams has received a total of 1,200 applications -- "definitely a nice hiring pool to choose from," James said. "The goal is to have them all hired by the opening."
Hiring is a tough three-part process, said Valerie Campbell, executive director of The Work Connection, which conducted a job fair for Sams Club in mid-December.
"A little over 80 people showed up. They interviewed 25 of the 80, and they hired six," Campbell said, citing figures from last week.
Entry-level wages start at $8 per hour, she said. "Thats good."

The smoke from several wildfires in the mountains around the Sacramento Valley have kept the skies hazy across the Northstate.
There are currently seven fires burning in Northern California, all adding more and more smoke to the air.
The air quality is generally rated as "moderate" in the valley, but can be very bad depending on how close to a large fire you live.
In Chico and Oroville, the air quality was rated as "unhealthy for sensitive groups" which means that the elderly and those with respiratory diseases could experience some difficulty breathing.
Unfortunately, the air quality situation will likely get worse before it gets better.
The smoke will hang around until the fires are contained and completely extinguished.
It is only then that the winds can start blowing the smoke out of the valley.

The Advantages of Open-Ended Mutual Funds
Original post by Walter Johnson of Demand Media
Mutual funds are some of the most important and common forms of investment for small or novice investors. The concept is simple: investors pool their money and holdings under an experienced investment firm that manages the fund. You can move your money around the different holdings of the fund without a fee and can cash out your shares whenever you please. True mutual funds are open-ended; closed-ended funds are not really mutual funds at all.
Open-Ended vs. Closed-Ended Funds
A closed-ended fund is really not a mutual fund at all, but a publicly traded firm that specializes in investing in different securities. An open-ended fund is driven by the market itself, while the closed-ended fund is driven by the demand for its own shares. An open-ended fund is not limited in what or how much it can buy.
Market Expansion
The main advantage of an open-ended fund is that it can expand itself to respond to market forces. If the economy is doing well and the fund is managing its investments skillfully, the fund itself can use its profits to expand its operation and buy more securities. This means that all investors in the fund can see their money expand and make more money as the fund managers seek out new ways to expand.
An open-ended fund is what a mutual fund truly is. It's a smart investment because you are not responsible for the sorts of investments the fund makes, yet are always involved in the fund's profits. A closed-ended fund is a single business entity that trades on the market like any other firm. An open-ended firm can expand its market holdings daily and thus can increase your own market diversity. This means, if the management firm is competent, that your investment cash is protected through the diversity of securities in which it invests. This normally includes stocks, debt and commodities like gold, oil or wheat.
A competently managed mutual fund serves its clients through investment flexibility. In an open-ended fund, this means that the expansion of security types the fund can invest in can change any any time. If gold is expected to skyrocket, for example, the fund can liquidate some of its stock and buy more gold. When interest rates rise, money can be taken from stock and sent into the money markets. Diversification of investment money means little if the "weight" of the investment money is not following expected trends. Ultimately, the advantages of open-ended funds lie in the competence of its management.

Beautiful dress! Rouched bodice with an asymmetrical cut leading to the skirt. Zip up back with a beautiful train. Looks amazing with a belt which can be purchased for an additional $300 ($500 value). Hugs the body in all the right places, very flattering!
- Alterations: The waist and rib cage were slightly altered in but everything else fit my body. I had a bustle put in, one of the strings fell out so you would need to have one added. With shoes, I was 5'10 and the dress was the perfect length. There are some dirt stains at the bottom of the dress, so this would be best for someone who would need to have a little taken off the bottom length.
- Preservation Method: I had this professionally dry cleaned after my wedding. The steaming process added some texture to the skirt part but it still looks great. You will probably want to have the dress professionally steamed to get some crease marks out of the skirt. I have had this dress laying on a bed in my guest room untouched.
- Terms of Sale: Returns Accepted
- Original Owner: Yes
- Has Original Receipt: Yes
- Location: Fayetteville, AR

Burma's transition to democracy has been threatened by serious ethnic violence between Buddhists and Muslims.
11:28, UK, Friday 26 February 2016
Hundreds of Muslim families have taken shelter in a heavily guarded Buddhist monastery after two days of violence in the northern Burma city of Lashio.
About 1,200 Muslims were taken to Mansu Monastery after Buddhist mobs attacked and burned Muslim homes.
The unrest in Lashio, a city about 700 km (430 miles) from Burma's commercial capital of Rangoon, shows how far anti-Muslim violence has spread in the Buddhist-dominated country as it emerges from decades of hardline military rule.
One man was killed and five people wounded in Wednesday's clashes, authorities said.

The Missouri Mavericks have had an unbelievable inaugural season, with the hopes that it will continue further into the playoffs. Here is a look back at the regular season, and a few players who are deserving of awards.
Rookie of the Year - #31 Charlie Effinger
Jason Tarwater of SportsRadioKC.com said it best (via his Twitter account) when he said "In a year full of great acquisitions, getting Effinger was by far the best." While Nick Sirota was named to the CHL All-Rookie team and had a fantastic season, the impact Effinger has had on this team has been immense. The early struggles of the Mavericks' goaltenders consistently plagued them and had a direct contribution to the inconsistency of the club. This has been a completely different team since Effinger was acquired from the Allen Americans.
Runner Up: #15 Nick Sirota
Fight of the Year – Mavericks' captain #24 Carlyle Lewis vs. Arizona Sundogs forward #49 Cedric Bernier
While it is scary to see anyone get knocked unconscious at any time, you have to give Lewis credit for the thunderous right cross that rocked Bernier to sleep, but, unfortunately, also ended his season. While we do wish Bernier the best, that was by far the best fight of the season.
Runner Up: Carlyle Lewis vs. Rapid City defenseman Riley Weselowski
Most Underrated Player of the Year - #6 Jared Lavender
Lavender has had a fantastic season. Although he has only tallied 7 points (2 goals & 5 assists), he has been a rock on the blue line for this team all year. To be strong on the defensive side of the puck, like the Mavericks want to be, a team needs defensemen like Lavender.
Runner Up: #20 Derek Pallardy
Performance of the year - #28 Karl Sellan's hattrick against the Mississippi Riverkings
Not only did Sellan tally the first hattrick in team history, he also helped his team take down a tough rival in the Riverkings. In front of a sellout crowd, the 6-1 victory was one of the best moments of the season.
Runner Up: Jeff Christian, Nick Sirota, and Simon Watson combining for 9 points in a 5-4 victory over the Colorado Eagles on February 2nd.
Special Teams Player of the Year - #12 Jeff MacDermid
MacDermid led the team with 14 powerplay goals, and was second on the team, trailing only Jeff Christian, in powerplay points with 20. His ability to set up camp in front of the opposing team's goalie and stuff home rebounds has made him one of the top powerplay forwards in the league.
Runner Up: #72 Jeff Christian
Defensive Player of the Year - #22 Mike Burgoyne
When the Mavericks traded their captain and team leader Tyler Fleck to the Tulsa Oilers early in the season, it came as a shock to everyone. The Mavericks then turned around and signed Burgoyne to a contract, and the rest is history. Burgoyne has become one of the leaders on the ice, as well as the team's best defenseman. He has also made incredible offensive contributions as well. He fifth on the team in total points with 32 (10 goals & 22 assists) and third in powerplay points with 18 (6 PPG & 12 PPA).
Runner Up: #6 Jared Lavender
Offensive Player of the Year - #72 Jeff Christian
The numbers speak for themselves. Christian leads the Mavericks in goals (29), assists (49), points (78), powerplay assists (24), and powerplay points (31). Not only does he have great scoring ability, but he also has the uncanny ability to put his teammates in the best possible scoring position as well. It's easy to see why he's played at the highest level, the NHL.
Runner Up: #15 Nick Sirota
Most Valuable Player - #72 Jeff Christian
Christian deserves this award for his numbers alone. However, his impact on this team and community has been overwhelming. He has been the heart and soul of the Mavericks since coming to Independence. The development of the younger players on the roster is a direct result of the guidance and tutelage that Christian provides, which makes him irreplaceable.
Runner Up: #22 Mike Burgoyne, #31 Charlie Effinger
