Forest genetic resources
Mediterranean conifers
In the early 1970s many initiatives were launched by the various countries of the Mediterranean basin regarding the exchange of forest seed and the establishment of plantations to compare species, provenances and progeny. Such initiatives sought to identify the sources of the seed most suited to local environmental conditions. No information is available on the present status of many of these trials, and international literature mentions only a few publications. It is feared that unless special attention is paid to this issue, the trials and their results, whether actual or potential, will be lost for good - despite the fact that the choice of appropriate species and provenances affects the success of reforestation and forest and environmental regeneration.
Cedars of Lebanon
In April 2002 the Committee on Mediterranean Forestry Questions Silva Mediterranea decided to maximize the most important results of the initiatives carried out. France (the General Directorate of Forestry and Rural Affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food, Fisheries and Rural Affairs) decided to support these initiatives, entrusting scientific coordination within the country to the National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA). Other countries agreed to take part in the project by collecting data at a national level and supporting research efforts linked with the validation and publication of data, as well as the coordination of scientific summaries. The work is organized as a Silva Mediterranea working group. For more information on this subject, kindly consult the dedicated web site.

I wanted to make some personalized wrapping paper, but the weather was bad and I was lazy. But my daughter loves an art project and this one couldn't have been easier.
I pulled out a big role of kraft wrapping paper. Kraft paper is the easiest paper to work with, in my opinion. The slicker papers are much harder to use markers on or glue on, the kraft paper makes projects like these easier and has a nice homemade look to it.
I found a sack of (new) sponges under the sink and I cut a couple into simple squares. If your sponge was big enough, a Christmas tree shape would be just as easy.
We turned on some Christmas music and got to sponge-stamping. I used red and green tempura paint that I already had in our art supplies, poured onto a paper plate (one for the paint, one for excess). Pigtail's boxes weren't quite as evenly spaced, but that was okay.
After it dried, I used a sharpie to draw in the quick box and bow. Not counting drying time, the whole thing took me under 20 minutes.
Then I wrapped it up and slapped on a simple ribbon. Darling, right?
In our house, it's a tradition for the kids to pass out the presents from under the tree on Christmas morning. But a lot of the little kids in our family can't read yet, so I printed out photos of the recipients to put on their presents. That way they will know which one is theirs and can pass them out without having to ask who goes with who.
Fun and easy is what I'm all about this holiday season. Every holiday season.

Itchy skin, hives and abdominal pain are just some of the unpleasant symptoms of food allergies. According to a new study, 1 in every 13 children in the U.S. has a food allergy. That averages about 2 children per classroom. Forty percent of the allergies are severe.
"Yes, there is some increase in the food allergies now. Especially we don't know what's on the food. There's a lot of secret ingredients that companies, you know, they sell or they cook with," said Allergist, Dr. Marwan Obid.
At Surfisde Daycare in Panama City Beach, 11 out of 50 kids have a known food allergy. Director of the center, Jessica Cyr, says communication is key in managing those allergies.
"We make sure all of the teachers are aware of it and we post it in every classroom as well as on the refrigerator and in our lunchroom," said Cyr.
The most common is peanut and milk allergies. Bay District Schools has a no peanut butter policy meaning they don't serve anything with peanut butter.
"Usually, the school nurses are very, very involved. Not all schools have nurses but there are several in the schools and I stay in constant communication with them. They stay in communication with the teachers and the lunchroom managers," said Director of Food Services for Bay District Schools, Kim Blackwell.
The good news is most children eventually outgrow food allergy, but they can develop into an environmental allergy. Dr. Obid says there is a proven correlation between environmental and food allergies. For example, if you are allergic to oak, you will also be allergic to eggs.

This is the kind of dress that is so versatile, it can be worn any season with any arrangement of accessories and still look current.

It would seem President Obama owes Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., an apology. In 2009, Wilson apologized after shouting "You lie" when Obama said his signature health care law would not cover illegal immigrants. But according to a report posted Friday at Breitbart.com, California's state Obamacare exchange is recruiting illegal immigrants on its website.
The site features a page titled: "No temas si eres indocumentado/a y quieres inscribir a tu familia en un seguro médico."
Translation: "Fear not if you are undocumented and want to enroll your family in health insurance."
The site also says information shared with the exchange cannot be shared with immigration officials and, Joel B. Pollack said, "does not explicitly warn that illegal aliens are ineligible," even though the law says illegal immigrants can't get coverage.
"According to the laws and implementing regulations," the site explains, "the information provided by individuals for coverage can not be used for purposes other than ensuring the efficient functioning of the insurance market (Covered California) or administration of the program, or to verify certain eligibility determinations including verification of the immigration status of these people."
On Thursday, Bloomberg said Latinos have been slow to sign up for Obamacare partly out of fear that undocumented relatives might be deported.
Activists also said glitches on the exchange website and a lack of Spanish-speaking counselors on its telephone banks aren't helping, Bloomberg added.
As a result, only 20 percent of those enrolled through Dec. 31 are Hispanic.
"That flies in the face of the fact that almost half of California's Latinos are eligible for subsidies under Obamacare," Bloomberg reported.
Covered California spokesman Santiago Lucero said the exchange has recently secured a $155 million federal grant, and plans to add 350 representatives, including bilingual workers, by the end of March.
A million mailers have also been sent to homes, with the vast majority going to Spanish-speaking families, Lucero added.

But in the end we were meant to be apart, like separate chambers of the human heart...
"The best lyrics are the ones that describe those emotions in ways you always wanted to say but could never find the words." - Mike Shinoda
Formerly known as Epiksha.
Completely forgot about this band's existence to be honest. I liked their first two albums though. I can't recall if I ever listened to their third.
They say the grass is always greener on the otherside,
If so, do birds dream of walking, while we dream to fly?
They used to be one of my favorite bands, but after a while they just get kind of boring.
LPA Playback August 2013 Runner up: https://soundcloud.com/rahatc/rage-p...-by-secrets-of
Love them, all three albums are amazing and their first two are modern rock classics.
One X is a GREAT album. One of the best of the modern rock era. I like their third one a lot too, and they're really sick live.
Did somebody order some cheese?

I used to like them a lot. Haven't heard their 3rd album. I totally lost interest like most of the rock bands I used to love.
I used to absolutely love them. I still think they are a good band they are also good live. I've seen them twice.
I'm at the point where I can't decide if they've just gotten boring or not in all honesty they said they will probably have a new album out this year though so fingers crossed to them 'resparking' my interest
I LOVE the songs 'Pain' and 'I Hate Everything About You.' My brother and sister in law saw them in concert last year with some friends in St. Louis.
I absolutly love three days grace. Their song one x was the first full song i learned on guitar
There new album is their worst cd yte. I still fully support that they get worse with every album
+1 for One-X being a great album. Life Starts Now, barring a handful of songs, was pretty lame, and their new song sounds pretty lame.
I used to absolutely LOVE this band back in the day. One-X helped me a lot throughout growing up, as did their debut. Life Starts Now was pretty good, but it was nowhere near as good as their first two albums IMO. I have listened to Chalk Outline, I haven't listened to the leak of their new album yet. I am going to buy it on October 2nd instead. I have bought all of their albums, so why not do it again, I can wait. I did however listen to Broken Glass, and it's pretty fucking awesome, I like it a lot.
Their first two albums were great. A few of the tracks from the 3rd were listenable. But the problem with this band is that, like a lot of those bands I listened to, they don't seem to grow up at all.

I'm alive!
Thursday, February 27, 2014
It's been nearly a year since my last post and activity here with Spark. A lot has changed in that year - most significantly.... I'm a MOM! My beautiful son was born on January 12th and I am more in love than I could ever have imagined being. I'm currently on maternity leave until March 31st. I had my 6 week post postpartum checkup yesterday and got the all clear to resume physical activity. THANK GOD. Because I also did the "let's try on all our pre-pregnancy clothes" thing yesterday and it did NOT go well. I was ONE FOR SIX on pants fitting. 1 for 6! UGH! I gained 27lbs during my pregnancy (baby boy was 8.2) and have lost all but 4 of them but for some reason I'm still enormous.
I know, I know. I made a person. My body is bound to take some time to get back to "normal" but darn - it's still tough to go from cute and pregnant to dumpy and frumpy. BUT - that's why I'm back here. Time to rekindle what little enthusiasm I had for fitness and (hopefully) surpass it!
I'm currently at 235 and I set my goal at 175. I gave myself a year to lose it all - hopefully soon I can set some smaller goals and kick myself into gear.
how've all of you been?

Fellow new mom over here with a similar goal. I had my baby girl last April but didn't try to lose the weight until way later. I wish I had been like you and got on track once I got the all clear but oh well. I started in January and am working on losing about 50 lbs in the next year.
Just know if you're breastfeeding it can be really hard to lose weight because your body craves more calories to supplement the little life. My body fought me like crazy in the beginning. I would try to exercise and reduce the calories a little and the scale refused to budge. So long story short I decided to wait until I stopped.
Well glad to see you here on spark and good luck! Take it easy at first, you did just give birth less then 2 months ago!

On Nov. 25, The Sun reported on a police officer being hit by a car that was allegedly stolen by juveniles. Last week, Thomas Pendleton, 57, told The Sun that it wasn't one vehicle that was originally taken, but two, and events that transpired afterward are straight out of a Hollywood movie.
Pendleton said that he and his wife, Kimberly, were at home when the thieves took his son's 2010 Mercedes C300 and his 2009 Buick Enclave from their driveway. His son, Daniel, 31, was at work during the theft.
Emergency personnel were called to the scene of an injury accident with entrapment on the Bluegrass Parkway early Monday morning.
According to a press release from the Nelson County Sheriff's Office, 20-year-old Taylor Blandford, of Springfield, was operating a 2001 Toyota Corolla traveling eastbound when she exited the roadway and struck a tree on the driver's side of her vehicle.
It's called paying it forward.
Mark and Sherry Speakman, pastors of Willisburg Church of God, are working with the Washington County Salvation Army unit and Washington County Schools Family Resource Youth Service Center to provide food for the less fortunate this Christmas. The program they are coordinating, which will provide a basket of food to the elderly, is called Returning the Favor to Washington County.
The Washington County Fiscal Court announced at last Friday's special meeting that it will be hiring two temporary employees for the road department.
During Dale Mann's road department report, it was announced that a committee had interviewed applicants for a temporary position on the road department.
"We originally had four applications," Washington County Judge-Executive John Settles said. "One withdrew at the last minute because of his work."
Ann Murphy finished her career at Springfield State Bank after a total of 64 years of service last week. At the age of 88, she said goodbye to her coworkers during a party that was held on Nov. 5.
"It has been so good I can't even describe it," Murphy said about her time at the bank. "It's been wonderful. I've seen a lot of people go and come."
A Harrodsburg man found himself in the Marion County Detention Center on a charge of wanton endangerment first of a police officer last week.
According to a press release from the Kentucky State Police, Melvin L. Ison, 31, of Harrodsburg was arrested on Nov. 24 after he allegedly nearly struck Washington County Sherriff's Deputy Charlie Osbourn with his vehicle.
Osbourn fired his weapon at the vehicle during the incident.
A former Washington County man is facing serious charges in Jefferson County after police say he killed one and tried to kill another.
William "Tony" Mattingly, 40, of Louisville and formerly of Washington County, was arraigned in court last week on a charge of murder and a charge of attempted murder.
A Louisville Metro Police Department report says on Nov. 13, Mattingly placed Thomas Grismer in a chokehold until he died. Grismer was found dead in a hotel room that morning.
The Washington County Grand Jury indicted six people recently, four from Willisburg, one from Springfield, and another from Bardstown.
The Washington County School Board met for its regularly scheduled meeting last week. After returning from executive session concerning superintendent Robin Cochran's evaluation, the board heard its positive annual financial audit report from Artie White of White & Associates from Richmond.
The board got the best report that one can receive.
White said the reports they give the board are basically giving their opinion on their financial statements.
Two juveniles found themselves in police custody facing multiple charges after being arrested by the Springfield Police Department when they were pulled over in a vehicle that had been reported stolen.

Calgary Flames goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff recently told general manager Jay Feaster he is leaning toward retirement, according to a report by Sportsnet.
"If we had to ask him to make a decision right now, I think his decision would be what it was at the end of the season -- that he's probably finished, but it's still early in the offseason," Feaster said in Boston at the NHL general managers meeting. "What we talked about was that we'll be patient and we'll give him time and continue to monitor that and check in."
The 36-year-old goaltender had one of his least successful seasons in 2012-13. He was limited to 24 games by injury and performance, and he finished 8-14-2 with a 3.44 goals-against average and .882 save percentage.
Kiprusoff declined to be dealt at the NHL Trade Deadline, choosing instead to remain with the Flames, who did not qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Kiprusoff has a career record of 319-213-7-64 with a 2.49 GAA and .912 save percentage.
The Flames gave backup Joey McDonald a one-year contract extension in April and reportedly will add Karri Ramo from the Kontinental Hockey League in July. The team also acquired prospect Reto Berra from the St. Louis Blues in the trade for Jay Bouwmeester.
"It's going to be some big feet to fill," MacDonald, 33, told the Flames' website last month, "Kipper's been here for a long time and has done a great job. If it happens [that I can start], great. They're going to bring probably a couple other goalies too. My focus now is just to be ready and be 100 percent and give myself the best chance in training camp."
The Flames also have Leland Irving, Danny Taylor, Joni Ortio, Laurent Brossoit and Jon Gillies in their system.

Guy Doleman Movies and Career Information
Nov 22, 1923
Nov 22, 1923
Guy Doleman was a New Zealand actor. During the 1940s and 50s, Doleman was one of the busiest actors in Australia, appearing in the majority of films made there at the time, and being busy on radio, particularly in the drama Hagen's Circus. In 1952 he won a £300 Actor's Choice Award for his performance in the radio drama 'The Coward'. He used this money to go to Hollywood for a film, where he did a bit of television work, then returned to Australia. He eventually moved to London for the 1960s before returning again to Australia. He was cast in Long John Silver but passed on the role because it meant he had to wear contact lenses – Rod Taylor took the part instead. He is perhaps best known for his role as "Count Lippe" in the 1965 James Bond film Thunderball, and as "Colonel Ross" in the three film adaptations of Len Deighton's "Harry Palmer" novels, starring Michael Caine, in the 1960s. He also played Number Two in the 1967 TV series The Prisoner. Doleman's was the first of a pair of Number Twos who appeared in the first episode, "Arrival"; the second being played by George Baker. Guy Doleman died of lung cancer in 1996 in Los Angeles, aged 72.

For all of you are the children of God. —Galatians 3:28
Each person is created in the image of God. But whenever we devise, maintain or perpetuate systems and structures that oppress people based on race and/or ethnicity, we interfere with God's purpose and the opportunity for all God's children to be fully who they are created to be. Racism is an affront to God.
Racism is racial prejudice plus power. It is rooted in the belief that one group has racial superiority and entitlement over others. Its power is manifested in every institution and system, both nationally and internationally, which was historically established and continues to function to benefit one group of people to the disadvantage of other groups. Awareness and education will help us to become anti-racist individuals and foster the development of anti-racist systems and institutions that can eliminate privilege for some and oppression for others.
The United Church of Christ and its predecessor churches have made a priority commitment to supporting policies and structures that make real our Christian commitment to racial justice. The UCC's emphasis means more than simply challenging personal prejudices, but involves a commitment to in-depth analysis of societal policies and structures that either work toward the elimination of racism or perpetuate it.
How to Engage
The United Church of Christ has a long history of working towards Racial Justice. Click on one of following for more information on what the UCC is doing and how YOU can get involved:
General Synod Policy Statements on Racial Justice
The foundation of our work rests on the policy statements made by the General Synod of the United Church of Christ. During General Synod 23 an addendum was added to 1993 Pronouncement calling the UCC to become a Multiracial, Multicultural Church. The addendum called the UCC to also become an "Anti-Racist" denomination. In doing so, we encourage all Conferences and Associations and local churches of the UCC to adopt anti-racism mandates, including policy that encourages anti-racism programs for all UCC staff and volunteers.

Brielmaier hits 9-of-10 FGs; Finishes with a game-high 24 points
Junior Bret Brielmaier scored a game-high 24 points to lead five Wildcats in double figures as Arizona posted its highest point total on this current tour of Vancouver against a collection of former college players.
The Wildcats jumped out early, hitting six of its first 10 shots, and led 16-3 just four minutes into the contest. Brielmaier was the driving force from the get-go, sinking three field goals in that four-minute span.
The 6-foot-6 forward from
"Shots were there for me today," said Brielmaier. "My teammates just gave me the ball. I had a lot of fast break points. I have to thank Nic (Wise) and Mustafa (Shakur) for getting it to me."
UA head coach Lute Olson was pleased with the effort, largely due to balance, ball movement and the ability to get good shots.
The Wildcats shot 54.8 percent from the floor in the first half and 51.3 percent for the game. Nine players scored five or more points, while seven players grabbed four or more rebounds.
"The competition wasn't as good today, but we shot the ball much better today," said Olson. "The guys did a better job of moving the ball and making the extra pass."
Daniel Dillon continued his run of strong performances, as the 6-foot-3 junior from
"Daniel continues to play very well for us," said Olson.
Mohamed Tangara tallied 13 points, while Kirk Walters chipped in with 12 points and five rebounds and Jordan Hill added 11 points and seven boards.

Georgia Gives UW Chance To Flex Lineup Versatility
Team Departure Photo Gallery
CBS Sports Video: Lorenzo Romar Interview
Charlotte, N.C. - It took the entire regular season, but the normally unfazed Terrence Ross was finally fazed.
He had played just 4 minutes of the Huskies' penultimate regular-season game, against UCLA, then two days later never got off the bench. Yep, he watched all 40 minutes of the finale against USC while in his team warm-ups. Coach Lorenzo Romar explained afterward he simply ran out of minutes with fellow guards C.J. Wilcox and Scott Suggs playing well in a close game Washington ultimately lost.
But two days after that, on March 7, Romar walked up to Ross before practice and told the quick-triggered freshman shooter he was going to make his first career start, in the Pac-10 tournament.
"It was kind of shocking," Ross said of the sudden promotion from invisible to indispensible. "I wasn't understanding it at first."
He's more than up to speed on everything now.
The 6-foot-6 shooting guard has gone from excluded 10 days ago to Washington's "X" factor in the NCAA tournament that begins for seventh-seeded UW (23-10) on Friday night at 6:45 p.m. Pacific time here in the East region against 10th-seeded Georgia (21-11).
Ross may start again alongside point guard Isaiah Thomas against the Bulldogs, creating immediate matchup issues. Georgia's starting guards are 5-11 Dustin Ware and 6-1 Gerald Robinson Jr., and their tallest reserve guard who plays much is 6-2 Sherrard Brantley, meaning a taller forward may try to stay with Ross.
"Try" is the key word. Ross' quickness, his athleticism that Romar says is UW's best and his streaky shooting, when on, change games faster than you can say "Ross for 3!"
He didn't just start for the first time in last weekend's Pac-10 tournament. He finished.
Romar inserted Ross into the lineup in place of 7-foot center Aziz N'Diaye to get bigger on the perimeter and to inject the Huskies' then-skittish offense with scoring from the jump. The switch worked brilliantly, perhaps even better than Romar had hoped.
Ross scored 17 points in 29 minutes Thursday in Los Angeles to help rally the Huskies past Washington State. He scored 13 points in Friday's semifinals against Oregon. That included a soaring dunk, after a remarkable behind-the-back dribble across his body back into his right hand, a play that was among the nation's top highlights that night. Hours later in Saturday's championship game against Arizona, Ross made a clutch 3-pointer with 17 seconds left that began UW's comeback from four points down in the final 26 seconds.
Ross' steely shot was almost as "cold-blooded" as Thomas' eventual game winner at the buzzer of overtime. Ross' 3 didn't decide the game, only the question of whether the former Oregon state champion at Portland's Jefferson High School could produce on a grand stage so early in his college career. Ross was the relatively out-of-nowhere member of the conference's all-tournament team.
The stage gets even grander Friday night at Time Warner Cable Arena downtown in this Queen City. And if the last five months - and especially the last week -- are the indicators the Huskies think they are, Ross will be the coolest cat in the building.
"It's rare for anyone - especially for a freshman," Romar said of Ross' always-even temperament. "I just think Terrence is the type if he's coming off the bench, if he's in the starting lineup, if he wakes up and he's playing in a Final Four, if he wakes up and he's in his driveway shooting, I think he's the same.
"He does have a rare, refreshing uniqueness about him that way."
It's more than just mentality that define Ross, though. His size outside has been a nightmare for opponents. After Washington was miserable at the start of its Pac-10 opener at USC on Dec. 29, Ross came off the bench and saved the Huskies with then-season bests of 18 points, 26 minutes in the Dawgs' overtime win. Many of those points came after Ross took smaller USC guards down in the low post for the most unfair matchup since the Huskies opened the season beating McNeese State by 54.
But Ross, whose career high is the 25 he dropped on Oregon in January, is best known for his fearlessness. He is willing, and able, to gun from anywhere at any time.
There are perhaps a handful of freshmen that play on a team with three seniors (Justin Holiday, Matthew Bryan-Amaning and Venoy Overton) plus a midseason candidate for the national player of the year (Thomas, a junior) yet is willing to shoot from deep behind the 3-point arc with a title on the line. Ross did that against Arizona in Los Angeles. There are even fewer who would swish that shot while down 4 with 17 seconds left, as Ross did Saturday.
Gun shy? If anything, Ross has had to remind himself to slow down the shooting barrage in his first UW season.
"It's something where I've kind of told myself to be patient," said Ross, who grew up in Vancouver, Wash., and commuted to high school crossing the Columbia River with his mother, who worked in downtown Portland. "Before people didn't realize I'm a shooter. Now, they do, so I need to be aware of that and use pump fakes or create better shots for myself."
Better shots?
Given what he's already made in his first Huskies season, that could be quite a show.

The Monday, March 7th, 2011 edition of Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano is available below.
If they raise the debt ceiling, it's business as usual. And Prof Helemen, my God. When will people realize that Keynes is dead, both physcially and economically.
Dear Judge, I enjoy your subbing for Beck but something essential seems always to be missing from the conservative shows and liberal shows. None of the hosts including you ever examine what and who controls Obama, Bush 1 and 2, Clinton and Carter just for starters. The hosts never go beyond criticizing the opposite party. You are one who speaks very bluntly and forthrightly unlike most others. Are you muzzled or is it an unspoken agreement with your bosses that the subject of one world government is never addressed by anyone except a few who are considered conspiracy freaks by the MSM? If the press is muzzled then all the rest of the news is purposeless, for nothing will change and civilization will continue to erode into 1984.
Hey Judge; If you're going to salute after a show for Petes' sake tuck in your thumb. You don't want to look like Bill Clinton and his wave "bye bye" salute.
A Vet
Charlie Gasparino seems like a nice guy but his mantra.."the GOP needs a pro growth message not just cutting" reminds me of Jack Kemp and Art Laffer who in the late 70s told Reagan the "root canal" policy of cutting govt and stopping the money printing would be painful.. Of course it will be painful..we have two sectors of the economy choking on too much debt (thanks to the Fed)..which is why we are doing bailouts and running deficits….you can't keep subsidizing sectors which are NOT productive enough to pay for themselves..
Charlie..cutting is growth..allow the free market to deploy the labor and savings from the cuts to create real productive enterprises…Cut and Grow works…cut the dead wood to let the real organice productive sectors get the nutrients they need to grow. The free market ensures success will be reinforced and failure terminated unlike say Wall Street and Govt…
I really don't see why everyone gets so bent out of shape about the various debts. It seems to me that whole generations of Americans are not going to submit to veritable slavery to keep promises they didn't make in exchange for benefits they didn't receive. When they decide not to pay these debts, the big 3 problems (Treasuries, pensions, and "entitlements") will all be solved in a way that sends a valuable message to the market. 1) Paying states for the promise to rob its citizens later and give you the proceeds is a bad investment. 2) Working for below-market wages for states in exchange for the promise the state will rob its citizens later and give you the proceeds is a bad idea. 3) Letting the state rob you for years in hopes that it will later rob younger people and give you the proceeds is, like other ponzi schemes, a bad idea.
I want all of the above to be BAD investments/ideas. If the people let the state make good on these promises, that would send a message that people should engage in MORE of this kind of behavior. The state actually fulfilling these kinds of promises is the last thing the American people need.
Mike, I think the Judge has Gasbagarino on because there must be a campaign for him to be named to the Federal Reserve Board. I personally wish he would stop having him on the show. Charlie should be reminded that there's no central plan for freedom, whether it's economic and personal.

The Associated Press
MEXICO CITY — Allegations that U.S. retail giant Wal-Mart used bribes to speed its break-neck Mexican expansion are sparking some soul-searching in Mexico, but not the outrage that the scandal has provoked in the United States.
While Wal-Mart says it is probing the allegations and U.S. Congress members are demanding answers, Mexican authorities say they have nothing to investigate.
The charges have, however, focused fresh attention on Mexico's long-entrenched culture of bribery, a place where crowded government offices remain the working grounds of shadowy facilitators known as "gestores." Although Mexicans are aware such payoffs occur, most would prefer to pretend it doesn't exist.
Wal-Mart's bribes in Mexico "are a scandal in the United States," Luis Miguel Gonzalez, editorial director of El Economista newspaper noted in a Monday column. "Here we live in a different way. Over there, there are expressions of indignation ... In Mexico authorities take more than 50 hours to react" to the first news reports that made the charges.
Eduardo Bohorquez, the director of the watchdog group Transparency Mexico, agreed there was a striking difference between the United States, where investigations have been launched by congressmen and, reportedly, the Justice Department, and Mexico, where authorities seemed eager to find reasons not to investigate.
"The enormous difference is the reaction," Bohorquez said. "State and local officials (in Mexico) are clear that there will be unequal enforcement" in the two countries.
Whether at least $8.5 million that was apparently paid to gestores actually wound up as bribes for corrupt local officials remains unknown. The Times also said an additional $16 million were paid directly to local governments.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. says it is conducting its own investigation, and two U.S. congressmen announced they are opening a probe.
The Mexican federal government, however, announced Monday evening that it had no jurisdiction in the case because the report referred only to the involvement of state and city officials with authority over permits and zoning decisions.
State-level governments in the state of Mexico and Mexico City also appeared to duck the issue, saying they had not opened any investigation because none of their officials were specifically mentioned in the allegations.
But the corruption scandal does sting. "This is an endemic vice, a vice that leads us nowhere," front-running presidential candidate Enrique Pena Nieto told The Associated Press in an interview Monday. "There is a truly critical situation in the country."
The candidate of the Institutional Revolutionary Party said an independent governmental anti-corruption commission is needed to root out the bribes and payoffs that many Mexicans say are as common as paying a light bill, and sometimes easier.
In the case of Wal-Mart, The New York Times said executives turned to middlemen in the early 2000s to grease the way for building up the company's Mexican subsidiary, which has become its biggest foreign operation.
Many Mexicans wouldn't be surprised if the claims are true. According to a survey of Mexican households by Transparency Mexico, bribes paid by individuals, not including corporations, amounted to something like $2.4 billion in 2010. Households reported average bribes were about $12 apiece; the poorest families reported paying the equivalent of about 28 percent of their income in bribes.

Over 250 Huskie fans took part in a pair of NIU events over the past week -- the long-standing Brigham-Novak Gridiron Classic Golf Tournament, held at Seven Bridges Golf Course, and the second annual Football 101 Women's Clinic, hosted by Jerry Kill and members of the Northern Illinois football team. Thanks to all the Huskies who came out and helped make each event a success! For those of you that missed this year's events, hope to see you next year! Below are highlights from the 2010 Brigham-Novak Gridiron Classic and Footabll 101 2010. More than 150 Huskie fans and golfers attended and/or participated in the 15th Annual Brigham-Novak Gridiron Classic on Friday, July 23 at Seven Bridges Golf Course. Current Huskie football players and former coaches John Gibbons, Bill Mallory, Joe Novak, Pat Culpepper enjoyed golf and dinner. Head Coach Jerry Kill greeted every foursome on the course and spoke at the post-round dinner, where he introduced a contingent of his 2010 players and fired up the crowd for the upcoming season. Congratulations to Vince Scott, Kyler Scott, Chris Nendick and Grant Dungan who took first place in the team competition. In addition, Morgan Murphy earned the Longest Drive Award, Phil Horvath II made the Longest Putt and NIU Hall of Famer Mike Terna was closest to the pin. Terna also dropped in a hole-in-one on the 15th hole. Check out photos from Brigham-Novak Gridiron Classic here.
On Tuesday, July 27, Kill and the NIU players served as hosts and instructors at the Second Annual Football 101 Women's Clinic at the Yordon Center and Huskie Stadium. The players taught the clinic partipants about their positions, demonstrating pass routes, offensive line stance and quarterback reads, as well as blocking and tackling techniques. The evening started with a cocktail hour before the group split into offensive and defensive meeting rooms. Following their classroom sessions, the ladies toured the Huskie locker room, got a "pre-game" speech from Kill, thenreplicated game-day by touching the Huskie dog statue before running out on to the field. Vicky Coffman, mother of NIU's own Jake, carried the American flag. Once on the field, clinic participants lined up in positions on offense and defense. Former Huskie softball coach Mary Bell stepped under center at quarterback. After competing for the longest pass and punt, the ladies and players gathered for a "team photo" to close out the event.
Connor Flahive was one-of seven Huskie players in attendance at Ditka's.

For those who haven't indulged yet, we wanted to give Huskie fans a complete recap of the coverage NIU received at Wednesday's Chicago media day event at Ditka's Restaurant. We'll keep searching for video, but if you saw the CBS and NBC newscasts last night, you saw some great snippets. Hey Coach Kill -- it's "twitter," not "tweeter!"
For the writers, we have the following, in no particular order: As Jeremy Werner of the DeKalb Daily Chronicle and HuskieWire.com writes, the quarterback race is open heading into camp. Coach Kill talked a lot about depth in his press conference, and that was one of the positions he touched on.
Steve Nitz, also of HuskieWire.com, wrote a feature story on the reaction to the new NIU uniforms. Werner just posted another great piece, about how the Huskies are continually trying to appeal to fans in the Windy City.
We also had the Chicago Tribune, Daily Herald and 670 the Score (among others) in attendance, so keep your eyes peeled!
By Brett McWethy | Posted at 5:11 pm on Wednesday, July 28, 2010
Today marked the first installment of media day for the NIU football team, and we had a great turnout at Ditka's in the Windy City. We'll have full coverage of the event coming up shortly on NIUHuskies.com, but for now, check out a Photo Gallery and video below of the event!

Is this possible in Windows XP? If so, how can it be done?
The main reason I wish to do this is I want to use a tethered phone's network for certain applications and an ethernet connection for others. Certain ports and networks are blocked by the ethernet connection, whereas they are not on my tethered phones connection.

The shiny Trinity consider revenging themselves against the evil trinity to show them what it means to steal their world and seize their people.
To be continued...
Krona is a cosmic entity who believes he is master of all until he realizes there is a Multiverse out there. He reaches out to his counterparts and comes face to face with his future self. The future Krona appears to kill or at least exile the present Krona.
Krona reaches out to his Void Hound - which possessed John Stewart. The Void Hound broke free of his lab.
To be continued...
Main Story - 1: The story is called "Returned" for good reason. I want to return it - and these three so-called members of the Trinity. I've met Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. You are no Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. You are unbridled power, the exact opposite of each of the three of them. I'm going to the return counter and asking for either my money back or my heroes back.
Main Art - 2: Boring. And I don't mean Wayne Boring. Just boring.
Back-Up Story - 1: Huh?
Back-Up Art - 2: The first page of the back-up shows promise. But turn the page and the comic reverts to standard assembly-line art.
Cover Art - 4: A Man of Steel etched into reality by the burning of 100 suns - at least that's what I called for in last issue's cover review. Since I got what I asked for, the least I can do is give it a good review.
Neal's Review:
Main Story - 1: Fifteen to twenty issues in this storyline about Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman being missing, and it turns out the solution is a snap of the fingers and "Hey! We will ourselves to have as much power as you do!"
And, for flavor, more of Krona in space posturing, and the Earth-3 villains fighting the Green Lanterns in some random, out of context way.
There's also that "Yeah!" "All right!" "H'ray!" "Woo!" as denouement. Sigh.
Main Art - 3: The opening splash with the big three and the evil three is nice and detailed, but much of the rest of the book is that strange, odd computer generated background mix. Much of the detail is rough, and a lot of the work seems (while compelling in what's there) unfinished.
Back-Up Story - 1: Okay, so, I actually READ JLA/Avengers, and the JLA run where Busiek furthered on this noise, and ALL of Trinity, and yet I have no clue as to how or why Krona is talking to his past self. Out of context, out of the narrative, this entry serves no purpose save to be mastubatory for folks who are obsessed with/understand Krona.
But even beyond that, the whole story is essentially one long villain monologue... to himself. An extrapolation AND exposition of all that we're supposed to learn through story but instead learn through a boring formerly blue mustachioed Silver Age smurf nut that is in no way compelling, at least to me.
Back-Up Art - 5: The art is actually quite well done, and has a lot of interesting use of perspective and color. And this is, hilariously enough, one of the first times where a character in a DC comic references all of his or her counterparts in the multiverse with many of them pictured that actually has UNDER fifty-two representations. That alone is worth its weight in comedy gold to me.
Cover Art - 2: The design is kind of interesting in that the colors work well together, but as a reimagining it's kind of clichéd, and it's so out of context to rely on the triple cover thing it's ineffective. It IS, however, Superman under an S cover, which is a miracle in and of itself with this book.
Jeffrey's Review:
Main Story - 1: Look! The evil Trinity is shooting some energy at the good Trinity! And now the good Trinity is shooting some energy back! And now everything is back to normal!
...it took forty issues to get to THAT?
You have go to be kidding me. This book is all one big practical joke, isn't it?
Main Art - 3: Look at all that energy being... energetic.
Back-Up Story - 1: Krona, a being of seemingly limitless power, sits around and talks to himself. And then kills himself in the past.
So, technically he shouldn't exist anymore, which means I didn't just read 10 pages of some pseudo-flaming guy with a goatee, a belt and god-powers sitting around in space whining, which means I am not angry, upset, or disappointed in the least.
Thank goodness.
Back-Up Art - 4: Despite the complete uselessness of this backup, I really enjoyed the rendering of outer space here. Nicely done.
Cover Art - 2: ...seriously?
I mean... SERIOUSLY?

Hostage From Almacks By Ima Reviewer, 2000, Savage Regency Romance (London, England and Northern Wisconsin, USA)
Hostage From Almacks By Ima Reviewer, 2000, Savage Regency Romance (London, England and Northern Wisconsin, USA)
By Ima Reviewer, 2000, Savage Regency Romance (London, England and Northern Wisconsin, USA)
Romance readers - the long wait is over! Ima Reviewer, queen of the Savage/White Woman Love genre has taken it upon herself to rejuvinate the traditional Regency Romance. All this AAR Reviewer can say is "what a relief!" I never did get these Regency things anyway. Its about time that somebody faced the fact that all the good plots have been used up and you don't really understand them if you haven't read most of Georgette Heyer. Can you spell B-O-R-I-N-G? How clever of Ima Reviewer to borrow from that staple of American romance the Indian Hostage story, and develop an entirely new subgenre, the savage Regency.
Here at last is a refreshingly Americanized repartee freed from the dusty conventions of regency life. Our hero Wolf aka Silver Wolf, Viscount Badger meets heroine Penelope Hightower at Almacks over a cup of historically accurate watery lemonade. Needless to say, Penelope finds Wolf compelling. Could it be the loincloth? She accidentally walzes with him without being cleared by the Almacks society matrons who give her the cut direct! Naturally this necessitates the classic hostage plot.
Here is my favorite passage of Hostage from Almacks:
"Gee gaw rah ne," said Wolf,. "Brave most happy to meet you Miss Penelope. Me kidnap you from bad prejudiced women. Wolf take Miss in parson's mousetrap."
Of course Wolf takes Penelope home to America where she happily gives up her life as an antidote for life as a sexually fulfilled captive lover. Sigh. But this is just the start of this exciting story. Wolf must save his tribe. Penelope manages to defend them with her witty repartee and feisty demeaner. Georgette Heyer - eat your heart out.
At the Auto Repair Center
Written by Justine Korman, illustrated by Steven James Petruccio
Written by Justine Korman, illustrated by Steven James Petruccio
I was thrilled to discover that readers could submit their own DIK reviews, because in ignoring At the Auto Repair Center, AAR reviewers have committed a grave error. This is my all-time favorite book, and it really has it all - excitement, suspense, tools, and a tow truck. Who could ask for anything more? This is a book that improves with each reading, and fortunately it can be read several times in one night.
The hero, Drew (aka the luckiest boy in the world) has to go to work with his dad because his day care provider is sick. Drew's dad works at the Tonka Auto Repair Center, and Drew gets to watch and even help as his dad repairs car after car after car. After car. The suspense builds with every repair; this time, it's the muffler, next time, a corroded battery! Then, a delightful mystery is solved when the reader discovers that the rattling noise in Mrs. Hamilton's station wagon is actually a - well, I better not give that away, because it's a real spoiler.
As exciting as all this is, the book really kicks up a notch when there is a motorcycle accident, and Drew gets to ride in a tow truck. A tow truck!
The illustrations are not what one would call artistically interesting, yet they really get the point across. And the point is that there are lots of cars, all with parts that need to be repaired. And did I mention there is a tow truck?
Clearly, this tour de force is not to be missed. Admittedly, its appeal is probably greatest for three year old boys who are obsessed with vehicles. For some reason, my mom's eyes seem to glaze over if she reads this more than twice in a evening. Undoubtedly, some readers lack the sophistication necessary to appreciate a ride in a tow truck. So I guess this may be intended more for true auto aficionados. And yet, who cannot relate to the universal experience of going to an auto repair shop? Not everyone finds true love, but sooner or later we all need to get our cars fixed. As far as I know, this book has no sequels, but I would like to suggest that the author write about something even more exciting, like Drew's dad fixing cement mixers.
PS - If you enjoyed this review, perhaps you would like to hear my baby brother's opinion of Pat the Bunny, or read my essay on films entitled: "Why There Goes a Firetruck! is so much better than Citizen Kane"
William Shakespeare, 1594, Tragedy
After enjoying Mr. Shakespeare's rollicking comedy of manners Much Ado About Nothing (which is a desert island keeper and my all-time favorite comfort read) and being slightly enchanted by Midsummer Night's Dream I awaited eagerly to get my hands on his latest reissue, Romeo and Juliet. I was in for a disappointment because this is nothing like his frothy comical romances I've loved. This is clearly an early work, written while he was still learning his art.
The events take place in Verona although there is precious little local atmosphere. Romeo and Juliet belong to two families which are fierce enemies. They fall in love, decide to elope together but die in the attempt, after which their families are reconciled. Of course there are secondary love interests, servants, princes, nurses, villains, monks and other standard members of the medieval romance population dotting the plot. Duels too, if you want action scenes. Actually this story was a bit too gruesome and scary for me, but then again, I had to keep my eyes closed half the time when watching Babe - Pig in the City.
Shakespeare uses contrived plot devices to control the events. This might be a spoiler, but I have to say that the Big Misunderstanding which eventually kills the lovers is ludicrous. A mysterious drug to imitate death is used but communication fails miserably which eventually terminates their lives. I say, good riddance. Talk about Too Stupid To Live taken literally! Furthermore, Shakespeare could have done his research and found an actual medical substance instead of using the boring old secret concoction.
If you hate long separations between lovers, be forewarned. The "hero" and the "heroine" spend very little time together and there's little room for the development of their romance or for character development for that matter. They fall in love on first sight and that's basically it.
Shakespeare relies on dialogue and writes very little in the way of description, leaving a lot open for the reader's imagination. This is a good thing, but the downside is that he writes some of the most frighteningly purple, stilted dialogue I've ever read. The conversations strike me as very unrealistic and implausible and prevent all identification with the characters. I'll treat you to this quote from the first chapter, and you'll see what I mean.
Act 1, Scene 1
The characters speak in verse, by Jove! Nobody but the dullest persons make speeches this long and meandering in a conversation. It's clear Mr. Shakespeare did not have to worry about exceeding publisher's word limits. Romeo and Juliet is shorter than regular category romances but much more difficult to read, due to the abundancy of filler material. An editor with an ear for crisp dialogue could have shortened and sharpened this whole exchange. For example:
"Hey, you!" exclaimed Lady Montague. "Have you seen Romeo?"
Shakespeare has never been famous for his ability to write a scorching love scene and there is none in Romeo & Juliet either. For such passionate lovers, Romeo and Juliet are maddeningly chaste and left me yearning for proper bodice ripping. Maybe he's impotent. The closest Shakespeare got to a love scene was Midsummer Night's Dream but even there, the Queen of the fairies was under some sort of enchantment, and the thing borders on forced seduction or even rape.
In a way it's a good thing they die, because if they lived together this relationship would never last. They'd get bored, quarrel over kids and fall head over heels over the next beautiful people they encounter. The whining, brainless Juliet would never be able to take responsibility for children, and Romeo is susceptible to severe bouts of depression and pure laxity as we witnessed in the above quote. They'd drive each other over the edge in a minute, even without any help from the warring in-laws.
Another thing I found disturbing: Juliet is only fourteen years old. She's younger than my daughter who wears blue lipstick and plays with Barbie dolls and I'm expected to believe that she's a mature romantic heroine who's capable of everlasting powerful love. Not bloody likely! I'll tell you a secret: She's a kid who acts like a kid, period. She's probably got pimples and a training bra. If she's even reached her puberty yet. Romeo and Juliet is a story about puppy love on her part. I don't recall Romeo's age but if he's a day older than 16 I'd sue him for messing with a minor. Ick! Do you think that the bereaved family of Juliet would really be likely to reconcile with the family of her abuser so easily? And who wants to read about teenagers' sexual exploits anyway?
Were I maliciously bent on thrashing the author, which I'm not, I might also point out that Romeo and Juliet is a tired redo of several earlier stories with the same plot and the same characters. I might mention that the pathetic lovers first appeared in Novellino (1476) by Masuccio Salernitano, later used by Luigi da Porto (1530) and Matteo Bandello (1554).The latter was translated into French and subsequently paraphrased in English in Arthur Brooke's Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet (1562) and also in William Paynter's Palace of Pleasure (1567). I might also voice my sincere wish that an author of Shakespeare's talent would use some original imagination without recourse to plagiarizing better authors' work. However, as I want to avoid being criticized for viciousness and reviewer negativism, I think I'd better leave those things unsaid.
I need my romances to have a happy ending and felt cheated by Shakespeare's DEA-ending (Dead Ever After). Despite my initial disgust with the characters and the failings of Shakespeare's style I found myself rooting for the characters and wanted them to beat the system. But it wasn't bound to happen, and it'll be a long time before the cheated old reviewer picks up another new Shakespeare again. Romeo and Juliet will be recycled. Definitely not the stuff that true classics are made of.
If you're a darkie narkie desperate for an overdose of tragedy, Romeo and Juliet might be just your fix. Die-hard Shakespeare fans will undoubtedly also love this. For the rest of us, the convoluted and oldfashioned style might be too much. Don't waste your money when you can read the whole story free on the Internet.
The Brothers Grimm
The Brothers Grimm
Cinderella is the kind of heroine we can all get behind. She triumphs over adversity, not by scheming or bitchery but with unfailing politeness, elbow grease and a good takeover.
Cindy has not lost hope for a better life even though she waits on her ungrateful stepmother and sisters 24/7 and never sees the light of day.When she finds out the prince's family is hosting a ball to find a appropriate mate (he's obviously a beta hero) she tries to strike a deal with them, she'll clean all the chamber pots, shoe the horses, build an addition if they'll let her go.Of course ol' Step has no intention of living up to her part of the bargain she just wants to reap the benefits.
So SM and her unappealing daughters go off leaving Cindy alone and distraught. No dress, no ride no hope what will she do? Could I quibble with the sudden appearance of a fairy godmother? Sure I could, talk about convenient!!! Nevertheless I am impressed at her ingenuity when she takes some common household items, a pumpkin and some scrubby mice and turns them into a fabulous mode of transportation. Then she whips up an amazing designer gown from nothing. This dream come true is not unconditional however, according to FG, everything turns back to crap at midnight .
Naturally when Cindy shows up at the ball everyone is bowled over by her bodacious new look, especially the prince who up until this point was wondering why there were no great single women in the kingdom. They talk, they dance they stare into each others eyes. Unfortunately Cindy loses track of time and before she knows it, her time is up.. Since she has no time to explain she chooses to flee the sconce (BigMis Alert!)
Thank God she left that slipper behind! Princey assembles a task force to find his runaway bride. Here was another all too convenient plot point. Am I to believe no one in the kingdom has the same shoe size? But there you have it, he slips that thing right on giving him the pedi-proof he needs. They get married, leaving Stepmamma to choke on her envy and do her own cleaning.
This was a delightful story My only suggestion would be that the author use some more realism in future works. Dude, think of your creditbility!!

(AP) - A pair of Amelia Earhart's goggles have
fetched $141,600 at an auction of entertainment memorabilia.
The Kansas-born aviatrix wore the goggles on her historic 1932
solo trans-Atlantic flight.
They were the top money-getter among dozens of items sold at an
auction in Los Angeles by Profiles in History. The auction house
says it sold about $5 million in memorabilia Thursday and Friday.
An illuminating glove worn by Michael Jackson during the 1984
Victory Tour brought in $70,800, while a bullwhip swung by Harrison
Ford in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" went for $56,050.

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Former Mississippi State men's tennis standout Daniel Courcol was inducted into the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame in Athens, Ga., Wednesday evening during induction ceremonies surrounding the 2010 NCAA Tennis Championships.
A native of Paris, France, Courcol was a three-year letterwinner (1991-93) for the Bulldog tennis squad. He earned all-America honors four times during his career - twice in singles (1992-93) and twice in doubles (1991, '93) - and also received all-Southeastern Conference laurels multiple times.
Introduced by his coach at MSU, Andy Jackson, Courcol's acceptance speech Wednesday night included his memories of first coming to Starkville from Paris, how college tennis shaped him as a leader in life, and some of the many recollections of his stellar career while at Mississippi State.
A member of three State teams that reached the NCAA round of 16, Courcol helped led the Bulldogs to the SEC title in 1993 while manning the #1 position on the squad in both singles and doubles.
On the individual level, Courcol was simply outstanding. The only player in Mississippi State history to hold the nation's #1 ranking in both singles and doubles, he is also the only player in college tennis history to win four Collegiate Grand Slam titles in one season. In 1992-93, Courcol claimed the singles crown of both the ITA National Clay Court and All-American Hardcourt Championships. He also teamed with fellow all-American Laurent Miquelard to claim the All-American Championships' doubles title and the ITA National Indoor doubles crown the same season. He ended the 1992 season ranked ninth nationally in singles. In 1993, he finished fifth in the country in singles and fourth in doubles.
In addition to his all-American laurels, Courcol was also named the 1993 ITA National Senior Player of the Year and was the winner of the Dan Magill Award that same year, an honor named for the legendary University of Georgia tennis coach and adminstrator.
Courcol amassed career records of 86-28 in singles and 47-30 in doubles, and remains in the top 10 of almost every MSU men's tennis statistical category.
Following his collegiate career, Courcol played professionally on the ATP Tour. He reached the top 170 in the world in singles in 1996.
Holding a marketing degree from State (1993), Courcol now resides in Paris and is the Customer and Quality Service Director for Fnac.com, a European retailing company of nearly 20,000 employees comparable to Amazon.com in the United States.
He and his wife, Bella, have two children - daughter Mathilde (5) and son Thomas (5 mos.).
The ITA Men's Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame is housed at the University of Georgia's Henry Field stadium in Athens. Legendary Georgia men's coach and Hall of Fame member Dan Magill serves as curator and chairman of the Hall. The ITA Men's Hall of Fame, which includes over 1,800 rare photos, inducted its first class in 1983, and has inducted more than 170 players, coaches and contributors since then. Players are eligible for election to the Hall of Fame 15 years after their last collegiate match and coaches are eligible one year following retirement. The main criteria for election are college accomplishments as well as honors earned after college.
Courcol joined legendary Bulldog tennis coach R.T. "Tom" Sawyer in the ITA Hall of Fame. Sawyer, inducted in 1991, coached State's men from 1949-68, leading the Bulldogs to a 216-36 overall record, two SEC championships, four NCAA appearances and two top 3 national finishes. He was 1967 SEC Coach of the Year.
