of the population under study, or may just measure the variability
of population values around its mean. The variance is denoted as
sigma squared, s2.
|Workforce Investment Act (WIA)
|This 1998 Act provides the framework
for a unique national system. The
most important aspect of the Act is its focus on meeting the needs of

To the Honorable Judge Napolitano,
I understand that you are an advocate for the Constitution.
I would appreciate it, if you would cover the truth about the eligibility of the President today or any other time.
It appears that the media is purposely misleading the public about the issue. The issue is not whether President Obama is an American citizen. It is a question of proof President Obama was born in HI (Sun Yet San has a COLB too) and that it does not meet the standards of being a natural born citizen as specified in the Constitution.
I understand that FOX has ordered that their reporters not report the real issue. However since you are a Judge and not on the "air", I think it would be ok to report the truth.
Thank you
that'd be awesome if you could modify this web page so that videos are playable on my iPhone?
I love freedom watch!
I love your show

Medford Lakes, NJ Flooding
By gbrunett-Oracle on Jul 15, 2004
On Monday, July 12th, what seemed like any typical summer thunderstorm turned nasty. Apparently the storm front stalled over the Burlington County, NJ area (including Medford, Medford Lakes, Lumberton, Vincentown, and Southamton) and the rain did not stop... Nearly twelve inches of rain later...
Not only did we suffer from severe flood conditions as a sheer result of the rainfall, but several of the dams and bridges in the area gave way to the volume of water. In fact, there was a cascading dam failure resulting in the drainage of several lakes into the Rancocas Creek.
This last picture (above) shows a huge sinkhole at the top center where once Medford Lake's primary beach ("Beach 1") existed. To the left of the sinkhole is one of the dams that was breached. The bike path and park to the left of the picture were flooded leaving canoes wrapped (literally) around trees. In fact, I saw a canoe wrapped around a tree as high as six feet off the ground.
While we lost bridges, lakes and dams, we were very lucky. Downstream, towns like Lumberton and Pemberton were completely flooded and are still underwater today.

The Pegorino crime family, led by mobster James Pegorino, is an American crime organization based in Alderney, giving rise to its alias "The Alderney Mob."
Other important members in the organization include captain (or caporegime) Ray Boccino and figurehead Phil Bell. During the storyline, Pegorino hires hitman Niko Bellic, which eventually leads to the organization's downfall, depending on the player's choice.
The Pegorino crime family are first introduced in the storyline by Patrick McReary, a prominent figure in the Irish mob, after McReary and Niko Bellic successfully steal a shipment of pharmaceuticals for Pegorino captain Ray Boccino. Boccino later calls Bellic, offering him work in exchange for the location of Florian Cravic, a man who Niko suspects betrayed him and his squad of fifteen men during the Yugoslav Wars. It later becomes clear that Boccino doesn't even attempt to find Cravic, but only uses Bellic to solve his problems. Bellic later meets Phil Bell, a member and figurehead in the organization. Bellic decides to work for Bell instead, ignoring Boccino's constant advice and demands. Eventually, Niko finally meets the boss of the crime family, James Pegorino. Pegorino hires Bellic, later ordering him to murder mob turncoat Anthony Corrado, who Pegorino once apparently favoured as a son. Near the end of the storyline, Pegorino orders Bellic to go with Bell to pick up the payment from a heroin deal which Pegorino had recently made with Dimitri Rascalov, to which Bellic reluctantly declines, considering Rascalov's constant attempts on his and his cousin's lives. After Bellic leaves the bar, he is given a choice: either watch over the deal or take revenge on Rascalov, after finding out his location through his cousin. If Bellic accepts, and watches over the deal, Rascalov reveals to Bellic over the phone that he has murdered the buyers' representatives, taken the heroin for himself and has already made his escape. Bell, believing that they will not be able to escape alive, begins to draw fire and goes after their money, with Bellic in tow. They eventually escape with their money and Pegorino thanks Niko over the phone, commending him on his work and dedication. A Day later, after another attempt on Niko's life, which eventually leads to the accidental killing of Bellic's cousin, Roman Bellic, Niko seeks revenge on Rascalov with one of Bellic's associates Jacob Hughes. Days later, Bellic and Hughes follow a Pegorino member, in the hopes of him leading them to Rascalov, after rumours of Rascalov and Pegorino's recent partnership. Eventually, the Pegorino member notices Bellic and Hughes and seeks solace in a run-down casino, which Pegorino and Rascalov happen to be having a meeting at. Bellic demands that Hughes leave, claiming that he does not want another friend hurt. Bellic then opens fire and eventually reaches Rascalov, who is holding Pegorino at gun point. Rascalov then fires, shooting Pegorino in the face, much to Niko's surprise, leaving the organization in ruins. If Bellic decides to take revenge, instead of watching over the deal, Pegorino, betrayed, takes fire on Bellic with an AK-47 during Roman Bellic's wedding, murdering Niko's partner Kate McReary, who was also the sister to Irish mobsters Gerald McReary, Patrick McReary and Derrick McReary. In retaliation, the two Bellics and Hughes seek revenge. The same situation plays itself out, only Bellic murders Pegorino on Happiness Island, after a lengthy chase.
After the events that took place in the storyline, it's been assumed that the Pegorino family was dissolved, as Phil Bell, the only known living member, claims that he is leaving town in order not to face any more problems that arise, which are in any way associated to the organization.

- The Pegorino family and the Russian Mafia are seen fighting Niko together in the Deal mission.
- It is unknown if the family gets a seat in The Commission or is just about to. It might though because Pegorino seems happy when he rings you if you decide to do the Deal Storyline.
- The Pegorino family is probably based on the real life DeCavalcante crime family from New Jersey, which are the family in New Jersey trying to get a seat in The Commission.

Box Score
STARKVILLE, Miss. – After falling behind 8-0 after three innings, Alabama battled back to get within two, 8-6, before eventually falling to the No. 15-ranked Mississippi State Bulldogs, 10-6, in the first game of a Southeastern Conference doubleheader on Saturday afternoon from Dudy Noble Field. With the loss, the Crimson Tide falls to 27-19 overall and 11-10 in SEC play. The Bulldogs improve to 34-13 and 11-11 in conference play.
After Alabama starting pitcher Spencer Turnbull allowed seven runs in the bottom of the second inning and another it the bottom of the third, it was a lead the Tide could not come back from. Turnbull (4-2) took the loss after allowing 10 runs (nine earned) on 10 hits with two walks and three strikeouts in five innings.
Trailing by eight, Alabama got a two run home run by Austen Smith in the top of the fourth then scored four runs in the fifth inning to chase MSU starting pitcher Luis Pollorena. Pollorena got a no decision after lasting just 4.1 innings. Reliever Ross Mitchell (9-0) got the win after throwing 1.1 scoreless innings, allowing a hit with a strikeout. Jonathan Holder got the final eight outs for the Bulldogs to record his 13th save of the year.
Smith led the Tide with a 2-for-4, three RBI game, Brett Booth was 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and Kyle Overstreet was 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored. Taylor Guilbeau threw the final three innings for the Tide and did now allow a hit, walked one and struck out four.
Mississippi State scored seven times in the bottom of the second inning, and held on the rest of the way to take the first game of the doubleheader. The Bulldogs sent 10 batters the plate against Turnbull in the inning, which included a two-run double by Trey Porter and a two-run single by Adam Frazier. MSU scored their seven runs on five hits and one Alabama error. MSU extended its lead to 8-0 when Wes Rea homered to straight away center field to lead off the bottom of the third.
Alabama got on the scoreboard in the fourth. After Overstreet singled with one out for the Tide's first hit of the game, Smith hit his fourth home run of the season with two outs to make the score 8-2.
The Tide struck again in the fifth inning, scoring three times against Pollorena and once against reliever Myles Gentry. Miller singled and Roberts walked with one out, then Salem doubled to the corner in right field to drive in Miller, and Roberts scored on a throwing error by MSU right fielder Hunter Renfroe. With Salem on second, Overstreet delivered an RBI single up the middle off Gentry to cut the deficit to 8-5. A wild pitch allowed Moore, who reached on a fielder's choice, to advance to second, before he scored when Smith singled to center field to make it a two-run game at 8-6.
The Bulldogs answered in the bottom of the fifth when Porter doubled, this time with two outs and two on to extend the Bulldogs' lead to 10-6 after five. Porter was 2-for-3 with four RBI in the game. Frazier was 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored, Rea and C.T. Bradford were 2-for-4 and both scored twice.
Alabama got the first two runners on to open the seventh inning, and after a fly out allowed Roberts to move up to third, MSU went to their closer Holder to get out of the inning. Holder got Moore to line out to center field and struck out Smith to end the inning. Holder went 2.2 innings allowing one hit with four strikeouts.

Three-term San Bernardino County District Attorney Mike Ramos is the first and only candidate thus far to qualify for the ballot for the office of District Attorney. Ramos paid the $31,000 in fees for filing and a candidate statement. The filing deadline is March 7, 2014.
During his tenure, Ramos has worked to fight human trafficking, directed a successful crackdown on gangs, and brought out-of-control public officials to justice. His prosecution of Colonies partner Jeff Burum, former San Bernardino County Second District Supervisor Paul Biane, former Board of Supervisors Chief of Staff Mark Kirk, and former Board of Supervisors Chief of Staff Jim Erwin is the result of a $102 million settlement he says was tainted by bribery and extortion. That prosecution continues with new revelations coming to light just this past week.
Ramos' current project is a state-wide initiative to reduce the appeals time for death row inmates. He is teaming up with three former California governors, Pete Wilson, Gray Davis and George Deukmejian, to qualify the initiative.
Ramos will be on hand at a live remote broadcast with KFI's John and Ken on Thursday at the Ayer's Hotel in Ontario to discuss the initiative and collect signatures. The event begins at 3 p.m.
But it is those things he has already accomplished that is the basis for his bid for re-election. "My Gang Unit Has Delivered Results -- Since its inception we have put over 4,600 gang members in state prison for 35,445 years, including 240 life terms," he writes in his candidate statement. "I am endorsed by Crime Victims United, California's most influential victims' rights organization."
He also touts the Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit he created. "Since 2009 I have aggressively pursued those that enslave young women in the sex trade. We formed the Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit to stop the exploitation of young victims." The unit has made state-wide headlines.
Ramos has raised over $200,000 for his re-election campaign. To learn more, check out joinmikeramos.com.

US Patent 995600: Chastity Belt For Men [Pic]
BoredPanda staff
The shield covers a tube in which your manhood is held facing downward, with perforations at the bottom of the shield to allow urine to escape. Sometimes there are mechanisms that hold the head of your fire hose inside the tube. The balls are usually left exposed on both sides of the tube, although some designs have an additional cup that prevents easy access to the entire genital area.

Medieval weekend (the theme changes yearly) about the regional heritage and linked activities. In Hermalle-sous-Huy on 12 and 13/07/14!
As well as the modern classics, the museum tavern presents a series of ancient delicacies at very reasonable prices: Hypocras, Apple soup, Ténoise sauce mushrooms, Saulge sausage, lemon or honey pancakes, Lombard eggs. All these recipes have been selected from cookery books in the Gourmet Library.
Next to Hermalle Castle with its 12th century towers, the farm that once pertained to the castle still bears the signs of mediaeval architecture: vaulted halls with intersecting ribs that Paris Match has dubbed "the chapter houses".
You can see them in the farm, slaughter houses and the gatehouse... which are still working!
The visit on these two days includes a free explanation at 2:30pm on the architectural evolution of the farm-castle site.
Lovers of history and knowledge: don't miss this destination!

Hudson representative John Master Lee held a Q&A thread recently, posters were invited to ask any Hudson-related questions they wanted. He revealed that a sequel to marble game Kororinpa might be on in the future.
"It's one of those games that hardcore gamers seemed so ready to write off, but ended up being a real treat for those who love a more casual experience. I loved the Apple level, where you can turn the apple all around and you have to navigate through the grooves".
"As for a sequel, it would be great to see one. If we did do one, it would be deeper and have more levels to better suit US gamer tastes. US gamers sure seem to demand more when it comes to gameplay depth and the amount of content in a game".
Despite some mediocre reviews from the press (not mine!), John says the game sold very well in the US, causing them to run out of inventory. Most promisingly, in a later response he said this:
"But I'm glad to see you LOVED Kororinpa. I think you'll be happy again in the next year!".
That sounds like a definite hint to a sequel, or some kind of ball-rolling game at least.

Marble Mania 2 is a MUST! A group of us has played and want more. A Haunted House with a graveyard theme would be a good level.

Love the first one! Finished up the two player, regular and mirrored. Now playing the one player and up to secret level 12. Sure hope there'll be a sequel.

Make kororinpa 2 now and add an option to make custom levels.
Cyndy said:
Would be great to see a new version using the new balance board.
Belcaw said:
This is great; but when was this story posted? Nothing here has dates, which makes it impossible to know if next year was really last year and there is no new game that came out or will be out any time soon.

"It became, like, a desperate attempt: 'I just want something like this.' And she did this outline of a strawberry and a dove or something. I said, 'That's what you want?' And she said, 'Yeah, if you could do this exact thing.' My patience was thin at that point. So I wound up doing an outline of her own drawing on her ankle."
Rubendall laughs again. Same laugh.
"Would I have been more successful in the city? I think I would tattoo more celebrities in the city. Which is not always a good thing."
Rubendall tells another story, from back in the Da Vinci days. A guy walks into the store and asks Rubendall to ink a couple of praying mantises, fighting, on his stomach. OK. Fair enough. Then the guy tells Rubendall, "I'm thinking of getting some writing, too." OK, says Rubendall, what do you want written? Underneath two praying mantises that are fighting, the guy asks Rubendall to write: Two praying mantises, fighting.
Rubendall laughs again. It's laughter born of incredulity, experience and acceptance, laughter that recognizes a good story, loves to hear a good story, tell a good story. He's got a million of 'em.
"You run into characters like that on a daily basis," says Rubendall. "I've seen the best of the best and the worst of the worst. That's another thing I love about tattooing: Every day is different. You don't know what's in store."
Rubendall's first tattoo was given to him on his 18th birthday by Romano: the word "Mother," on the inside of his lip.
"I had to strategically place it," says Rubendall, "so it wouldn't interfere with future plans."
Those future plans were a body suit, which he has spent the years since collecting. The first piece of the suit was done by a Farmingdale native named Mike Ledger, who was working out of Hempstead at the time. (Ledger now works out of Honolulu, and is himself a household name in tattooing.) For the next piece, though, Rubendall had to travel—he wanted to get tattooed by the legendary European artist Filip Leu. So, after a lengthy mail correspondence (this was a time before e-mail, and the gypsy-like Leu had no phone), the 19-year-old Rubendall set up an appointment to fly to Switzerland and have his arms done by Leu.
"My mother thought I was completely crazy," Rubendall laughs. He saved every penny he made tattooing to pay for the airfare, the lodging and Leu's fees. Eventually, he notes, his mom came around. "I wound up going with her. She came with me with my sister. We made a family trip out of it."
Back then, remembers Rubendall, such excursions were almost unheard of.
"People around me, they never traveled to get tattoos," he says. "They would stay on Long Island, and if they had to drive, that was good enough. But I always thought, it's such a permanent thing, it's there forever, why wouldn't you go wherever, to any lengths?"
Rubendall had Leu tattoo his arms so the young upstart could watch the legend at work, study his technique, learn his tricks, his secrets. "It opens your eyes to what can be done," says Rubendall. "It's more than just technique. For me it raised the bar. It set my standards really high, to see how good people could be at tattooing." Rubendall calls this a pivotal moment in his career. He has since traveled to Texas, to be tattooed by Chris Trevino (another influential tattooer from the same school as Rubendall and O'Donnell), and he is currently in the process of being tattooed by Japanese artist Horitomo, who is working out of San Jose, California. Horitomo is completing Rubendall's body suit—doing his front and legs. Unlike American tattooers, however, Horitomo practices tebori, the traditional Japanese style of tattooing, wherein the work is done not by machine, but by hand, using thick needles attached to a bamboo rod. It takes much longer than tattooing by machine, it looks much different—simpler, with different colors and hues—and by most accounts, it is also much more painful.
"It's pretty barbaric," says Rubendall. "It seems like a very primitive technique, but it definitely gets the job done."
The piece being done by Horitomo is enormous and incredibly beautiful, and it has a deep personal meaning to Rubendall: It is an image of Kishibojin, the Japanese goddess of fertility and protection of children. Rubendall chose to recreate that story on his body because he has his own family now to protect: a wife and two young daughters—his oldest is 2 years old, his youngest is 2 months. Kishibojin is his tribute to them.
Today, tattooing has taken Rubendall around the world, both as a collector and as an artist: He has been to Italy, Denmark, Japan, Sweden, Spain… He comes back, always, to Massapequa. Where it all began.
"I'm comfortable with it now," he says, quietly. "I feel like I'm in a good place."

Welcome mats are being laid out all over the Grosse Pointes.
Grosse Pointe Public School System and the Grosse Pointe Board of REALTORS have teamed up for an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 11.
"Our goal is to invite people to Grosse Pointe and show them how wonderful it really is — the schools, housing, shopping, hospitals, parks, churches, etc.," said Bobbi Sexton, chief executive officer, Grosse Pointe Board of REALTORS. "Hopefully, once they see how great it is here, they will want to live, stay and play in Grosse Pointe."
Rebecca Fannon, GPPSS community relations specialist, said there are three groups targeted by the open house.
The smallest group is families looking to relocate to the area; the second segment includes those whose children attend private or parochial schools. Those who have children in transition, from elementary school to middle school or middle school to high school are the final target group. This is a chance for the public to see what the Grosse Pointes are all about.
"We would love you to see what we have, the breadth of choices," she said.
Choices include the high schools' offering 21 advanced placement classes, honors classes and five languages, along with a multitude of clubs and athletic opportunities.
"There are magnet elementary schools, all-day kindergarten classes and a multi-age classroom.
"We are encouraging as many as possible to attend. This is an opportunity to showcase the schools," Fannon added. "Staff members are volunteering their time to have classrooms open and answer questions. School board members will be fanned out" among the buildings.
All elementary, middle schools and high schools will be open. Tours are offered at each building. Curriculums are explained, along with a multi-age program at Trombly Elementary with first, second and third grades in one classroom.
"It's a nice mix of students, a mix of abilities and ages. The parents adore the program," Fannon said. "It has a Montessori feel with children working more at their own pace and leadership is encouraged.
"We just want people to walk the halls. All the community can come," she said.
To those who attend a private school, Fannon said, "It doesn't mean you are disloyal, you are investigating your options, finding the best fit for your child."
Parents who have children in transition from elementary to middle school or middle school to high school are invited to walk the halls of the child's next school building. Also, children attending private or parochial schools are welcome to visit public school buildings.
Another facet to the open house is both North and South high schools are accepting computers and electronic equipment, no tube televisions or car batteries, from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 11, for a $5 donation. Funds raised benefit the Michigan Green School program.
At each school building a list of open houses in the Grosse Pointes is available. The listings also can be found at GPBR.com. Click on Sunday Open Houses on the right side of the screen under Quick Links.
Additionally, Boy Scouts pay tribute to veterans with a flag ceremony and leading visitors in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Shooting Star is my photo for today's Project 365. It isn't my best photo, but is probably my best to date using second curtain flash.
The other week when I appealed for help in selecting my best photo more people went for this one than any of the others I suggested. Thanks to everyone who helped out. Ruth and Ricky didn't like that approach though and intimated that I might get a visit in the night from some very menacing people, if I wasn't man enough to make my own decision. This brings us on to picture number 3.
I didn't put this one up as an option when I asked people what my best photo was. After all, who would be interested in a portrait where the subject is looking down away from the camera and has his hair, complete with the last remnants of some old hair dye, covering his eyes . Where the hands are too white and the face it too red. Where the lips are cracked and where the background is busy and distracting.
For all that, it is still the one I like the most. I am a firm believer that over and above anything else photography should (at least for an amateur) be fun. The Democratisation of Jelly is the set that I had the most fun with. Both making the camera and doing the shoot. This is the shot that I remember the best from the shoot because Cliff had taken several 'shots' with the jelly camera and then stopped, looked down at it and said, "I just want to see how that last picture turned out" for me it was a very funny moment. Afterwards we all ate jelly. I've never eaten a camera before.
:-) you still have your head under water and you are breaking the rules but that is what rules a made for

Cool series, though #2 is outstanding.
yellodog · 2010-12-17: 13:36
I like your choice,
but for me you never make (or at least "post") shots that I do not like ... ;-))
(It thus meets up with the last piece of my wish to you)
"May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you delight them. May someone love you enough to forgive your faults, be blind to your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues."
Ryana · 2010-12-17: 14:01
well I'm sure you've made the best choice!:))
thank you so much for joining our project! :)

krasotulichka · 2010-12-17: 15:13
Ah, I can completely understand all the decision problems... I had them too. I'm glad you threw in YOUR favorite, it says more about the photographer which is one of the best things about this project (in my humble opinion!). :-) Very nice!
DancingDolphin · 2010-12-17: 15:22
Outstanding shot, as usual, Jon....Best wishes in 2011. :)
Nukee · 2010-12-17: 15:48
Is that a jello-mold camera? You do the most amazing work, but I admire your heart for your family more than your photography, Jon. These are outstanding - and the "best" was a wise choice!

"Told you so! " Nobody can choose better than you do.
It's indeed The Best choice ! I love it and I love the story behind it. The memories they bring it's the best quality of our pictures.
And this should end the usual polemic about "Which one is the best camera ?"...The answer is obvious in your picture : the Fun camera !
Were the pictures taken with it gelatinous enough ? ;)
redro · 2010-12-17: 19:24
Ah, and I love a loooooooot the first 2 pics as well !
redro · 2010-12-17: 19:25
Three totally diverse shots and all great!!! Your commentary as usual, is humorous and clever....great post, Jon!!! I can tell by Cliff's comment about the camera that he has his dad's sense of humor ;)))

Shadows Chasing Light is a very interesting book of poetry about self-discovery by Brian Bowers. It is an emotional journal of the mind and imagination with endless possibilities about finding peace and happiness despite life's dramatic twists and turns.
This book is something special, crafted with an abundance of emotions and vivid imagery. There are some sprinkles of love and romance, as well as capturing snapshots of a yearning for happiness and purpose in life.
My favorite poem is The First Touch of Longing. It is an awesome poem with emotional depth that tells about the desire of wanting to be with someone special, but yet knowing that may never be.
Another favorite is a poem called The Truth. It is a short but sweet poem about finding wisdom in the truth and being able to let go.
The illustrations by artist Jasmine Powell were exceptional and are a perfect fit for the book. The editing, was impressive and well put together with the design and layout.
This book was enjoyable as it deeply explores the experiences of life, enlightening the soul and yearning for understanding and depth as it is shared by the author with the reader.

Corinne Cook Comments ADVOCATE-TESTED RECIPE Crawfish Étouffée Serves 4 to 6. Recipe is from "Extra! Extra! Read More About It!" by Corinne Cook, who says, "This is a family favorite. First, you make a thin roux. The recipe does not call for water. If you cover the pot and reduce the temperature when the crawfish tails are added, juices from the crawfish will thin the roux and make more gravy." 1 stick butter 1½ tbls. flour ¾ cup celery 3/4 cup bell pepper ¾ cup chopped onion 1 lb. crawfish tails Salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste ¼ cup chopped green onions ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley Hot cooked rice 1. In heavy pot, melt butter and stir in flour. Stir continuously, over medium heat, until roux is the color of peanut butter. 2. Turn heat to low and add the chopped celery, bell pepper and onion. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Stir often. 3. Add crawfish tails and cover pot. Cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure mixture is not sticking. 4. Season with salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper to taste. Add green onions and parsley. 5. Serve over hot rice. Note: The recipe may be prepared with shrimp. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

General Instruction of the Roman Missal 374 states that "In cases of serious need or pastoral advantage, at the direction of the diocesan Bishop or with his permission, an appropriate Mass may be celebrated."
That said, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has provided some liturgical resources, such as intercessions that could be said during the Prayer of the Faithful, as well as homily notes, on their website. Also worth a read are some suggestions for celebrating Mass, such as celebrating the "Mass for Peace and Justice (with white vestments) or the Mass in Time of War or Civil Disturbance (with purple vestments)."
Also on the USCCB website are a collection of reflections and remembrances of 9/11; there is also a collection bishops' statements on 9/11.

The boxing world has dealt with its pros and cons in a sport that is loved by so many. It's recognized all over the world as the "sweet science." Many fans who examine this sometimes brutal sport can't seem to get enough. Anytime there's a good match up on the schedule—it seems to always get attention. Well, anytime the name Manny Pacquiao is a part of the conversation, most fight fans and observers alike stop and listen.
On April 12 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Manny Pacquiao will take on undefeated welterweight champion Timothy Bradley for a rematch, whom he lost a controversial 12-round split decision against back in 2012. This time a certified World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) will handle unannounced drug testing for both fighters. This testing is what Nevada State Athletic Commission Chairman Francisco Aguilar called "stepped up drug and hormone testing."
There were issues surrounding this testing and how it will be performed since Pacquiao's training usually starts in his homeland of the Philippines. That country which apparently rules out the United States Anti-Doping Agency does not make testing easy for those who want to see both fighters clean and drug-free.
This type of testing is amped up in a way where testing samples will undergo a procedure called isotope-ratio mass spectrometry. It is said that this kind of testing is designed to detect exogenous testosterone from outside the body. It is supposed to be the best available on the market today and only used by experts. It's these types of unannounced test that assures the boxing public that every measure is being taken, which will also make fighters think twice about using illegal enhanced substances to gain an edge against their opponent. Safety first should always be on the top agenda in this sport or any sport for that matter.
If you ask some of boxing biggest fans about this match up, some will tell you that this rematch could be a very dangerous fight for Pacquiao. More than likely Bradley will show up for this fight in tip top condition and ready to prove what wasn't clear in the first fight and that is—him being truly the better man. Some feel that Pacquiao on the other hand has more pressure riding on him, because the fight he really wanted was a showdown with boxing's pound-for-pound king Floyd 'Money' Mayweather Jr., and for a third time it never materialized.
What most fight fans and boxing pundits fear most is a less than stellar performance or another loss against Bradley, which could easily put an undeniable damper on Pacquiao's quest for Mayweather Jr. Something like that could certainly jeopardize it all and could be the last straw that might seal the deal on this huge mega fight ever happening. Now—for most fans, that would be sad.

I bought a 120x120x120cm phototent for photographing clothing using mannequins. I already ordered 2x 5500K 150W(750W incandescent) daylight lamps, one for each side. I'm wondering if I will need more lighting due to the large size of the object. Shall I get another light placing it over or in front of the tent? If I light it from the front will it cast shadow on the backdrop? Also what camera settings shall I use? I have a Fujifilm Finepix S4300.
Hi Pavel and welcome to StackExchange, Photography.
A phototent is used to get even overall lighting of the subject.
The lighting, instead of hitting the subject directly, shines directly onto the translucent walls and ceiling of the phototent. The phototent in turn becomes the "source" providing indirect, diffuse and soft subject lighting.
Two of these light sources with a tent may be enough (amount of) light to make a shot; but, I don't think you'll be happy with the quality of the lighting.
A third source would be helpful to get even lighting of the phototent. You want even lighting. More wouldn't hurt; but, you are after flat lighting, more or less, with a light even background so a clipping path can be easily used to put the subject into layouts.
There should be no shadows cast on the walls of the inside of the tent so long as the sources remain outside the tent and their light does not fall onto the subject directly.
Take some care to prevent stray light shine into your camera lens during the session to reduce flare since you will be shooting toward the source.

In a court in Sudan a pregnant girl, aged 18, has been convicted of "indecent acts" because she was gang-raped last year in August.
The Ethopian woman, who was 3-months pregnant at the time, was looking for houses when she was pinned down and raped by seven men. They filmed the whole incident, which took place in an empty house, says the BBC
The video was then posted online in January.
San Francisco resident, Janie Trotter, said: "It's quite disgusting how she has been treated."
After that happened, the woman and her attackers were arrested and the woman has been in a bare police cell since then.
Originally sentenced to jail for a month and fined around $880, the young woman's sentence was suspended because she was pregnant.
She managed to convince the jury she was divorced, and as a result was acquitted on charges of adultery and prostitution, although she could have gotten the death penalty.
But that's not the end of the story.
According to Newser.com:
"She still, however, faces immigration charges, which carry a possible two-year sentence followed by deportation."
Newser reports that at least three of the attackers were convicted of adultery and, as a result, were given 100 lashes each.
Another two of them were convicted of indecent acts and, as a result, were given 40 lashes each. A sixth attacker was convicted of spreading indecent material.

Al-Tarboush Restaurant Review: This University City restaurant offers Middle Eastern food---Lebanese, to be exact---and a key part of its winning package is the owner and his family. The simple tables are often full of students and Loopsters of all ages. Usually, their dish of choice is falafel. There are other solid selections---gyros, chicken kebabs, good tabbouleh and garlicky hummus---some of which are available in a refrigerator case for eating in or taking home. Homemade sweets finish the meal. The baklava is some of the best in town, and it's yet another key reason we like this deli so much.

Long Beach, Calif. - Having already cancelled the three games on campus, heavy rains in Southern California have also forced the cancellation of the three evening games in the Louisville Slugger Invitational at Mayfair Park, including the 7 p.m. game featuring Long Beach State and UCLA.
Action in the Louisville Slugger Invitational is scheduled to continue Saturday, with five games at Mayfair Park beginning at 9 a.m., along with two games scheduled in the morning at the 49er Softball Complex, also beginning at 9 a.m.
