MANILA: The Philippine military said yesterday one of Southeast Asia's top Islamic militants was alive, more than two years after jubilantly declaring he had been killed in a US-backed airstrike.
Zulkifli bin Abdul Hir, alias Marwan, a Malaysian bomb maker with a $5m US-govt bounty on his head, is roaming the southern Philippines, senior military officials said. "He is alive and we continue to monitor him," Lieutenant Colonel Ramon Zagala said.
Philippine military chiefs said in February 2012 that Zulkifli was among 15 members of the Al Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf and Jemaah Islamiyah organisations killed in an airstrike on the southern island of Jolo. Zulkifli is regarded as an expert bomb maker and a senior leader of Jemaah Islamiyah who first went into hiding in the southern Philippines in 2003.
In 2007 the US government offered a $5m reward for his capture, making him one of the United States' most-wanted men.
Another top Jemaah Islamiyah member, Singaporean Mohammad Ali, alias Muawiyah, was also declared killed in the airstrike, along with a Filipino leader of the Abu Sayyaf.
"This is a big victory. There were three senior leaders (killed). This will have a very big impact on the capability of the terrorists," then-regional military commander Major General Noel Coballes said at the time.
Shortly afterwards, Malaysia expressed doubts about the purported killings but the Philippines' then military spokesman insisted all three were dead. "Yes, its an A-1 (information). We have something but we cannot divulge all the other information because its an operational (secret)," Arnulfo Burgos, Zagala's predecessor, said.
However Zagala insisted yesterday that the Philippine military had never said Zulkifli had definitely been killed.
"There were reports that said he was dead but it was never validated... we never confirmed he was dead," he said. Zagala declined to answer further questions about the case, such as whether the other two top militants were also alive.
Military intelligence chief Major General Eduardo Ano said there were "consistent reports" Zulkifli was in the strife-torn Cotabato area of the main southern island of Mindanao.
He said Zulkifli was believed to be in contact there with the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters (BIFF), a small band of Islamic militants fighting for an independent Muslim homeland in the south. He said there were 10 to 12 foreign Jemaah Islamiyah members in the southern Philippines, and that Zulkifli was "the most prominent" of them.
The Abu Sayyaf is blamed for the worst terrorist attacks in the Philippines, including the bombing of a ferry in Manila that killed more than 100 people.

Background Patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) show deficits in processing of facial emotions that persist beyond recovery and cessation of treatment. Abnormalities in neural areas supporting attentional control and emotion processing in remitted depressed (rMDD) patients suggests that there may be enduring, trait-like abnormalities in key neural circuits at the interface of cognition and emotion, but this issue has not been studied systematically.
Method Nineteen euthymic, medication-free rMDD patients (mean age 33.6 years; mean duration of illness 34 months) and 20 age- and gender-matched healthy controls (HC; mean age 35.8 years) performed the Emotional Face N-Back (EFNBACK) task, a working memory task with emotional distracter stimuli. We used blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure neural activity in the dorsolateral (DLPFC) and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), ventral striatum and amygdala, using a region of interest (ROI) approach in SPM2.
Results rMDD patients exhibited significantly greater activity relative to HC in the left DLPFC [Brodmann area (BA) 9/46] in response to negative emotional distracters during high working memory load. By contrast, rMDD patients exhibited significantly lower activity in the right DLPFC and left VLPFC compared to HC in response to positive emotional distracters during high working memory load. These effects occurred during accurate task performance.
Conclusions Remitted depressed patients may continue to exhibit attentional biases toward negative emotional information, reflected by greater recruitment of prefrontal regions implicated in attentional control in the context of negative emotional information.

A convicted child molester who allegedly sold the boy he sodomized to another pedophile is being charged under the state's 3-year-old human trafficking law.
Kenton Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders confirmed to the Kentucky Enquirer that the case of 39-year-old Bobby Jo Perry II of Elsmere is the northern Kentucky county's first human trafficking case.

you know fags are trying to adopt too
First, this is not really about homosexuality. With all due respect. This happens to little girls just as frequently. and it is heartbreaking
This is the most horrific thing a human being could do another human being (esp a child). This child will be walking around with an open wound and pain in their hearts for the rest of his life. It doesn't really heal, trust me. time makes things easier not to think about as life goes on. but the wound is still there and always will be.
I agree. Child molesters should simply be put down like rabid dogs.
Yes, you are right...Toledo Ohio I heard recently is a major hub for human trafficking.
We are slowly becomming a third world country, gangs taking over, murders daily and human trafficking, etc. UGH.
So you are asserting that either the man or the boy turns into a woman.
Lay off the drugs.
So you are asserting that either the man or the boy turns into a woman.
Lay off the drugs.
You are either really sick and think your comment is funny or I hate to think when else you use that comment.
Well, it really is about homosexuality in this case.
#1- Good for this kid for testifying against this piece of trash.
#2- In the words of the great Ann Coulter, if homosexuality is a sexual preference, then so is pedophilia, and if homosexuality can't be "cured," then neither can pedophilia, so reforming perverts with jail time is a waste of time, and (end Ann Coulter) child molesters/rapists/traffickers should be shot and forgotten.
#3- Human sex slave trafficking is not just a homosexual activity.
I wonder how cool Bobby Jo will be about getting sold around the block after the first guy...oh, never mind.
The man who badly hurt me is married to a woman and has Children.
I have gay friends who wouldn't harm a butterfly. Do not tie this over to some kind of false stereotype. Most gay people would never do this.
Those who internalize the anger and shame will often become promiscuous and/or substance abusers. Sometimes "cutters". But there are those who deal with it by passing it on to the next generation. Sometimes abusing their own children.
Victimized children too often spend the rest of their lives searching for an escape from the inner turmoil caused by these self indulgent predators. Theirs is a daily torment.
It is not "intergenerational love" ... It is theft of the innocence from a child's trusting soul.
Or so I'm told.
I have been berated for suggesting such a connection.
Be aware that incidence of pedophilia is much higher in the gay "community." Studies indicate that around 35 percent of pedophiles are homosexuals. . . . a child molester is 17 times more likely to be homosexual than heterosexual.
This is so sick.
You are absolutely correct. There was a recent case about a gay Duke University employee, Frank Lombard, who adopted a one year old and pimped the baby out on a gay (not pedophile) website. The boy was five years old before the police found out and caught the guy. None of the gays on the site who knew about the situation bothered to call the cops.
If a man got on a heterosexual dating site and announced to the world he had a one year old girl anyone could come and rape if they wanted to, someone would have turned him in. Frank Lombard, the baby rapist, had no fear of being turned in by his gay peers. He got away with it for four years until he boasted about his pleasure to an undercover investigator and invited him to join in.
Degenerates have no problem with their or anyone else's deviancy. Gays know no limits when it comes to their or other's repulsive depravities and perversions. Normal people have no problem determining what is filth and so disgustingly filthy that it needs to end before it ever began.
So yes, gay behavior and this level of debauchery go hand in hand.
Homosexual behavior may not be harmful to butterflies, but it is harmful to humans. It's not something that children should be subjected to.
Well said, thank you.
Umm, no - it IS about homosexuality — there is a nambla - but not a man girl love association.
Not part of the homosexual agenda... this is a whole separate and horrific sexual deviancy. If you are truly interested in the topic, this is an excellent paper on profiles of pedophiles.
"Child Molesters: A Behavioral Analysis" - Ken Lanning
Sorry, you're wrong. There are man girl love groups. NAMBLA is just the most famous of the pedophile organizations.
Like Frank Lombard, the pervert at Duke University who pimped out his adopted son.
Perversity is homosexuals is nothing new, and the fact that some of them prefer to harm little boys doesn't excuse their homosexuality from being a part of that equation.
>>> The homosexual agenda, coming to a neighborhood near you...
5 year-old Shaniya Davis whose mother sold her into prostitution found dead
Would you be so asinine as to blame the Davis killing on the heterosexual agenda? Pedophilia is its own issue.
No, I'd blame Shaniya Davis death on a freaking crack head.
The fact remains that many homosexuals rabidly prefer very young boys. And because other children have died at the hands of their abusers does not negate the fact that the man in this news articles was a homosexual whose victim was of course, male.
Call him a homosexual pedophile if you will, but homosexuality was his driving force.
Everybody has a list of some sort.
Actually, at least one third of all child molestation is same sex.
The original homosexual agenda "manfiesto" demanded the repeal of all age of consent laws.
Why do you think that is?
Homosexuals have been known as pederasts throughout history.
Why do you think that is?

Don't have the heart to make any comments. Other than this: Child molesters should be executed. And not after 20 years of appeals. It is a crime that this is not the punishment they receive.
Look, I believe what the bible says about homosexuality. But in the last several years of my life I have had to make the distinction between pedophiles and regular homosexual people (includes family and friends) or I would have ended up a bitter and miserable homophobic person. and I don't think thats what Jesus wants...
Greater than 90% of male homos were in fact molested as children by adults.
First, this is not really about homosexuality. With all due respect. This happens to little girls just as frequently. and it is heartbreaking.
We know this, but the issue is the INCIDENCE—look up the definition of this word. You would have great difficulty finding a male homo that has not molested a boy. The mayor of Portland Oregon molested a boy in a filthy public restroom and was never prosecuted for this criminal act. Far as I know he is still mayor in that demented city.
Are you fully awake? "Gay" people have an international organization devoted to molestation of boys—ever hear of nambla? The only organization devoted to pedophilia in the world. I once lived in the San Fran bay area where molestation is a game to the homosexual community. Tell me again how nice people that consume fecal material really are. Look up felching and rimming to find out what the Grace and Will show left off the script.
Prove it ain't so, Joe!
I have been berated for suggesting such a connection.
Too many people are taken in by the marketing of deviance according to homowood writers. Homosexual writers set the agenda and the naive public thinks it is reality TV.
""If a man got on a heterosexual dating site and announced to the world he had a one year old girl anyone could come and rape if they wanted to, someone would have turned him in. Frank Lombard, the baby rapist, had no fear of being turned in by his gay peers. He got away with it for four years until he boasted about his pleasure to an undercover investigator and invited him to join in.

So yes, gay behavior and this level of debauchery go hand in hand.""
You are exactly spot on. NAMBLA members were invited and openly marched in gay pride parades for years until the public outside the deviant crowd became aware of the rest of the lifestyle.
Sorry, youre wrong. There are man girl love groups. NAMBLA is just the most famous of the pedophile organizations.""
Not to mention Nambla is universally accepted by male homos. They march in the same "pride" parades.
I would have ended up a bitter and miserable homophobic person. and I dont think thats what Jesus wants""
Just curious, do you consider yourself pedophobic? If so, does it make you miserable?
While some apologists of the homosexual lifestyle will say that having sex with little boys "is not really about homosexuality", I can't think of any "organized" heterosexual pedophile group that exists, and if that group did exist, I can't think of heterosexual perversion groups that march by the millions in their annual "Pride Parades", which up until somewhat recently welcomed the child molestation group with open arms.
I'm of course talking about NAMBLA, and how their roots are based from "the gay community", and how they "cooperate with lesbian, gay, feminist, and other liberation movements" (from NAMBLA.org).
So yes, child molestation is a problem; an organized child molestation group backed by a politically powerful, well financed movement makes the problem even worse.
Link to Bob Hamer interview
Thanks for the link. Nothing surprises me when it comes to the homosexual movement.
I gave the lesbo's the benefit of the doubt when it came to "organized child molestation" (thinking that a fair amount of them have children from marriage to a man, and that they wouldn't accept something like that).
That's what I get for giving the sodomites the benefit of the doubt.
Here's the original link to the WND artice:
Homosexuals have an extreme self-serving interest in putting a "nice" face on their lifestyles, which are admittedly rife with serial promiscuity (even in the vast majority of "monogamous" relationships.) That you would be taken in by this scam is truly sad.

Our friend Angie Davis, of Angie Davis Photography, lives in Vilonia, which was devastated last week by an incredibly strong tornado. Thankfully, Angie and her family were unscathed — but many of their friends and neighbors lost everything.
Angie has written about the night that tornado blew through her town and she has taken some incredible photographs. Go here to see the post.
Vilonia, Mayflower, El Paso and Center Hill were all affected by last week's storm. If you haven't been able to help yet, there is still plenty of work to be done and help to be given.
And don't forget prayer. There are definitely plenty of prayers still to be said for those communities.
Tornado season started off with a vengeance in Arkansas this year. I doubt our most recent storms will the last time our friends and neighbors are seeking shelter from nature's fury this Spring. So to all of LRM's readers — stay safe.

How To Build A Meat Smoker
Retail smokers are expensive. The cheap ones are about $75 and the expensive ones are typically several hundred dollars. Building your own backyard smoker is an easy project to get completed in a couple of hours. It can actually be pretty inexpensive too- about $40 if you're willing to do a little shopping online.
The Difference Between Smoking Vs. Grilling
Smoking meat is different from grilling or BBQing. Smoking is done at a lower temperature, for a longer period of time, and infuses the meat with a smoky flavor, and tenderizes it during the process.
Start With A Galvanized Trashcan
There are two ways to go with the new smoker. A compact smoker can be built from a 10 gallon trashcan or a larger one with a 20 gallon trashcan. If space is at a premium the smaller version should work well. It is well suited to a smaller deck or balcony. If using it on a deck, place a couple of bricks underneath for insulation and fire prevention. Cooking a 17-inch ring into the balcony is a sure way of pissing off the landlord. Let's keep it safe.
Meat Smoker Hardware
Galvanized trashcan: with minimum effort, I found the 10 gallon size for $3.79 and the 20 gallon size can for $11.65. Compare that with the whopping retail price of $24.99 for a 31 gallon can at the local home center.
Grill grate: Measure the inside diameter of the trashcan you have purchased and select a grill grate that will fit inside. Weber sell replacement grill grates and charcoal grates in the following sizes: 21.5, 17.5, 17, and 13.5 inches. A word of caution is due. Take your tape measure with you to the home center. The Webber 22.5 inch grill is actually 21.5 inches wide. So, measure the grill grate before buying.
Electric hot plate: Buy the cheapest single burner hot plate available. All it is going to do is heat up inside the trashcan. The one I chose was a SACE single burner at $8.18 from an online merchant.
Hardware: Buy 3 steel "L" brackets 1.5 or 2 inches wide. The smoker will also need 6 machine screws and nuts for attaching the brackets to the side of the trashcan. The "L" brackets will already be drilled for the screws. Measure to see what size works best. It will be close to #10 x 24 x 1/2" long.
Smoker box: These sell for about $12, but you make your own by using a scrap of tinfoil to make a smoker pouch for the wood chips.
Temperature gauge: Brinkman make an inexpensive one at about $3.
Assembling The Smoker
Drill 3 holes in the side of the trashcan to support the grill grate. Position the holes about 12 inches up from the bottom and equally spaced around the circumference of the trashcan. A good trick for finding the correct placement is to take a length of string, stretch it around the can, cut it and then fold it into thirds. Measure this length with a tape measure and use that measurement to locate the holes. Mark the locations with a permanent marker, center-punch the locations, and then drill the holes.
Drill a 1-1/2 or 2 inch hole near the bottom of the can for the hotplate electrical cord to pass through.
Drill 3 air holes 2 inches up from the bottom of the can. A ¼-inch drill bit works fine for this. Drill another 3 holes in the lid for the smoke to escape.
Drill a final small hole for the thermometer to fit inside the smoker. This can be near the top or in the top lid.
Place the hotplate in the trash can. Place the smoker box, or foil pouch, on top with the soaked wood chips. Set the grill grate in place. Pass the wire and electrical plug outside the can and plug in to an extension cord. We are ready to smoke!
Smoking The Meat
Test heat the smoker by setting the temperature adjustment on the hot plate. Most smoke masters want to smoke at 220 to 240 degrees. Adjust the hot plate to maintain that temperature. If the temperature is too hot, consider drilling several more air holes in the sides and top of the smoker to let more heat escape.
Soak the wood chips for at least an hour before smoking. To make a foil pouch, cut off a piece of foil 18 x 18 inches, add 1 or 2 cups of pre-soaked wood chips and fold all four edges over and seal. Use a pencil to poke several holes in the top for smoke to escape. Place the pouch on top of the hot plate. Plug in the hot plate and wait for the temperature to reach 225 degrees. Then, add the meat, close the lid, and let the smoking begin.
Several Final Tips
Cooking times and temperatures will be affected by weather, altitude, and humidity. So, realizing that, there are a couple of approximate temperatures and times for smoking to get started.
- Beef brisket: will be best cooked at 225 degrees, for 1.5 hr./lb.
- Pork butt: will be best cooked at 225 degrees, for 1.5 hr./lb.
- Whole chicken: will be best cooked at 250 degrees, for 4 hr.
- Chicken thighs: will be best cooked at 250 degrees, for 1.5 hr.
- Baby back ribs: cook at 225-250 degrees, for 5 hr.
Invest in a good meat thermometer. The better digital ones have a flat wire the will fit under the lid of the trash can and can be used while smoking. This works better than lifting the lid to check the meat temperature, which also lets the smoke and the heat escape. Keep the lid closed when smoking if possible.
Some smoke masters like to use a container of water, or fruit juice, or beer inside the smoker. The added steam helps moisten and tenderize the meat. Make an inexpensive water container out of an old coffee can by cutting down the side to about 4 to 6 inches high and add an inch of water for every hour of smoke time.

Flames 2009 Draft Rewind
Following Erixon the Flames had the 74th selection in the third round and chose Ryan Howse from the Chilliwack Bruins of the Western Hockey League. 18-year old Howse recorded 72 points in 72 games in the 2009-10 season.
The final part of our five part series looking at the Flames at the NHL Draft from 2005 to 2009, takes a look at what the class of 2009 has been up to since their draft day.
Drafted in 2009, 23th overall

Video: 2009 Draft interview
|Tim Erixon was selected by the Calgary Flames in the first round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
His professional hockey career began with Skelleftea AIK of the Swedish Elite League (SEL) at the age of 17. In his first full season with Skelleftea, Erixon recorded seven points in 45 games by the end of the 2008-09 season.
The 6'2", 190-pound defender represented Sweden at the 2009 IIHF World U18 Championships and the 2009 World Junior Championships where he brought home a silver medal. He made a third Team Sweden appearance at the 2010 World Junior Championships held in Saskatchewan, Canada. He posted a goal and two assists in five games and took home a bronze medal.
Erixon was drafted by the Calgary Flames in the first round (23rd overall) and was ranked as the 5th ranked European skater according to NHL Central Scouting. The Flames consider him a well-rounded player; not expected to be an offensive minded defenseman, but a player with a good vision on the ice.
Erixon attended the 2009 development camp last summer but knew all along that he would return to his team in Sweden for at least one more season. Last season, he recorded 13 assists in 45 games with Skellefea (SEL) and added one goal in 12 playoff games.
He will return to Calgary for the 2010 development camp in July and hopes to impress the Flames management and sign a professional contract. It is likely that he will play for the Flames AHL farm team in Abbotsford, B.C.
Drafted in 2009, 74th overall
Video: Development Camp '09
|Ryan Howse
In his first full season (2007-08) he recorded 17 points in 54 games and added two points in four playoff games.
The following season Howse began to find his niche and posted 31 goals and 44 points in 61 games for the Bruins.
His strong season led to being selected in the third round (74th overall) by the Calgary Flames.
Howse returned to the Bruins last season and made a significant impact with his club. In 72 games played, the Prince George, B.C native recorded a point a game totalling 47 goals and 25 assists for 72 points.
The 5'11", 195-pound left-winger will turn 19 this July 6th so he is still eligible to play up to two seasons in the WHL. He will attend the Flames development camp this July to be assessed by the management team. More than likely Howse will be assigned back to the Chilliwack Bruins for further development.
Drafted in 2009, 141st overall
Video: Prospect Profile
|Spencer Bennett
Bennett was drafted in the fifth round, 141st overall, of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the Calgary Flames.
He is a 6'3", 185-pound left winger who will turn 20 this coming Halloween night (October 31, 1990) and began his hockey career with the Burnaby Express of the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL). He had six goals and 17 points in 58 games.
He joined his hometown Surrey Eagles (BCHL) team for the 2008-09 season and improved drastically to a 41 point season (20G, 21A) in 60 games played.
The White Rock kid attended the Flames development camp last summer not long after being drafted. Bennett then joined the Portland Winterhawks of the Western Hockey League after receiving a scholarship offer from the University of Alaska Anchorage.
"Spencer is a key addition to our young forward group and bring a veteran presence to the locker room," said Winterhawks General Manager and Head Coach Mike Johnston. "In discussions with the Calgary Flames they are looking forward to following Spencer's progress and development in the WHL."
In the 2009-10 season, Bennett recorded 19 goals and 40 points with the Winterhawks and added three points in 13 playoff games.
Drafted in 2009, 171st overall
Feature: Prospect Profile
|Joni Ortio
Joni Ortio is a promising young Flames netminder prospect from Turku, Finland, the same birth-place as his idol and Flames goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff.
Ortio began his hockey career playing with TuTo U18 (Jr. B I divisioona) in Finland playing in 10 games. He also dressed for Team Finland for two games at the 2008 World Junior under 17 Championships.
In the 2008-09 season, Ortio played in 26 games for the TPS U20 team in the SM-Liiga Leauge (Finnish Elite League). He was able to suit up for Finland for the Under 18 World Championships and played in five games.
Ortio was later drafted in the sixth round (171st overall) by the Calgary Flames. He flew to Calgary after the draft to attend the Flames development camp but was later returned to the Finnish Elite League.
"It was simply an amazing experience," Ortio commented on his first development camp in Calgary. "Everyone there was extremely nice and it was easy to fit into the group and get to know all the guys. I didn't get to see the city that much but the little I saw the city seemed very nice and the people were very friendly. I can't wait to get there again."
The 6'1", 181-pound netminder returned to his TPS U20 Jr.A team in Finland for 26 games and posted a 2.63 goals-against-average and a .918 save percentage. He earned himself the starter position for Team Finland at the 2010 World Junior Championships where he started in six games posting a 3.02 goals-against and a .845 save percentage.
Like many Finnish goalies, Ortio is strong on breakaways/penalty shots and still developing his game with regards to positioning and rebound control.

The 2013 Lincoln Wine and Food Experience raised more than $37,000 for the Lincoln Community Playhouse.
The event, presented by Russ's Market, has raised nearly $170,000 in five years.

Bosses to provide robots, drones and 'augmented reality' believe workers

Bosses to provide robots, drones and 'augmented reality' believe workers
More than half of the UK's public sector workers believe their employers will have supplied them with a number of high-tech innovations within the next 20 years.
According to new research, 70% believe that 'augmented reality' will be readily available at work over the coming decades, while 62% foresee that desk-based robots will be keeping them company during the working day.
Another 62% expect drones to be helping them out, and 56% predict that 'carrier nodes' will be chipping in.
More than half (59%) of respondents to Ricoh's survey said that establishing a tech-evolved workplace will give them better access to the information they need to do their jobs, while 55% said it will help them to complete tasks faster. Just over half (51%) agreed it would help to improve employee collaboration.
Phil Keoghan, CEO of Ricoh UK, said: "This survey has underlined not only the enthusiasm public sector workers have for workplace technologies, but also their desire to find ways to improve citizen services.
"As well as finding out what employees think their future workplace will be like, we looked into the issues that will slow the adoption process down. These include the need to better digitize business critical processes, and review how employees access information."
The research found that, apart from cost (56%) and security (46%), government regulations (43%) are perceived as the greatest hindrance to embracing new technologies. In addition more than one in four cited:
Employee resistance (33%)
Reluctance to adopt new ways of working/internal processes (27%)
Ability to connect with legacy technology systems (27%)
Affordable rural housing 'essential'

It's a baboon baby boom at the Oakland Zoo.
Kodee, a female hamadryas baboon, was born on Oct. 24 in the Baboon Cliffs Exhibit at the Oakland Zoo in Oakland, Calif. She is doing well acclimating to her new environment and enjoys playing with her half-sister Mocha, who was born in April. Kodee's parents Martijn, 12, and Krista, 16, were relocated to Oakland from the Emmen Zoo in the Netherlands, with the hope of increasing the genetic diversity of captive baboons in the United States.
"Kodee's doing great, and her mother is a fantastic mom, and we're really proud of her," Margaret Rousser, Oakland Zoo's zoological manager said. "Mocha has shown a lot of interest in her baby sister, and she's really gentle with her."
The zoo has two troops of baboons, consisting of harems containing one male and three females. Hamadryas baboons eat vegetables, protein-rich insects, and some red meat, and can weigh up to 80 pounds. They are extremely active and can live 30-40 years. In the wild, they're found in Ethiopia, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. They spend a lot of time foraging for food, and receive plenty of enrichment treats at the Oakland Zoo.
"They're super-amazing animals. They're so intelligent and I just can't stop watching them," Rousser said.

Why should you learn Drupal?
Drupal has become, over the past years, one of the most favorite CMS large corporations choose for their enterprise solutions. The word spread out there says that Joomla has not yet fullfilled this space in some ocassions (even though many of us know this is not true).
There is demand for Drupal Pro's
Take a look at the IT want-ads and they will tell you that big corporations and Drupal service integrators need Drupal pro's. A good thing for Drupal developers out there is that corporations are paying extremely well for experienced web developers.
Browse through all our Joomla Templates using our Demo Template Gallery
Joomla 3.2 was released November 6th, 2013. Our team started testing Joomla 3.2 that same morning and by that afternoon, our team had already tested and made sure 40+ of our Joomla Templates and Extensions worked as promised with Joomla 3.2. Today we have over 37 Joomla 3.2 Templates in addition to several Free Joomla 3.2 Templates.
This is the kind of immediate access to upgrades our customers have grown to expect from the Joomlashack Team.
Our team was able to accomplish this because they are awesome, and because our templates were created using the nimble, powerful, and versatile Wright Framework.
Are you writing "Benefit-Driven" Copy?
Or, are you boasting about your product's features? Believe it or not, it is way harder to write copy for your customers than it is to write copy describing your products. And it is way easier to fall into the trap of "feature-driven" writing than "benefit-driven" copy. Here are some tips to help you know the difference.
When a customer has a problem, you have an amazing opportunity to help him/her out. If you write "benefit-driven" copy, you certainly stand a higher chance to differentiate yourself from the gazillion providers that are out there competing with you. Why? When a customer realizes that you truly understand his NEEDS or WANTS, you are setting yourself appart.

We're very happy for Andrew Rogers, CEO of Stackideas, and his team for the release of EasySocial--now available for download.
According to Andrew, "It was a gruelling task of building the next best social networking extension for Joomla with over 14,000 commits. This is proof of how much dedication we had put in to give you only the best tool"
Andrew shares some of EasySocial's cool features:
You already know that this world is about competition and standing out. To stand out you MUST push your boundaries. Sorry, no other way around--especially if you are in the game of web development / design.
You may be familiar with Seth Godin's best-seller "Purple Cow (Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable)". If not, I highly recommend you read the 143-pager.
The basic concept behind it is how to differentiate yourself from the rest by being remarkable. If you see a black-and-white cow, there is nothing remarkable about it, BUT if you see a purple-and-white cow, THAT is different! I ask you: "How many purple cows have you seen?"
Freelancing is a great way to recognize yourself and become your own innovator. Yet, with the freedom and joy that come with being a free agent, also come challenges. Freelancing is all about connections, with your client first of all, and then with the globe via your client. Establishing good rapport with a client to ensure future business is a MUST if you have to deal with customers directly. Here are some principles to achieve this.

Everything from computers to paper to office furniture gets reused and recycled at Humboldt State. In 2006, according to the California Integrated Waste Management Board, 77.8 percent of waste was diverted at HSU. In 2012, HSU won a CSU Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Best Practices Award for the implementation of the organic waste diversion program that aims to have entire campus involved in organic waste diversion by 2013.
More about waste reduction programs:
List of Recyclable Materials
Electronic Waste, Batteries, Discs, Printer Cartridges and CFLs
Composting and Food Waste Collection
Other Recycling
Reuse Opportunities
Humboldt State has gone single stream. All plastics numbered 1 through 7, metals, glass, as well as paper, magazines, and cardboard can be thrown together into any mixed recycling container on campus. There are still paper only recycling containers in some computer labs and office spaces.
View a complete list of recyclable materials for our campus >>
Electronic Waste (E-waste), Batteries, Discs, Printer Cartridges and CFLs Collection
E-waste is the name given to electronic products nearing the end of their "useful life." Computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, cell phones, mp3 players and fax machines are common electronic products.
Recycle your e-waste, along with batteries, discs, printer cartridges, and CFL light bulbs at the following locations:
- In the E-Cycler (pictured below) on the 2nd floor of the Jolly Giant Commons
- In the E-Cycler in the hall outside the College Creek mail room
- In a blue E-Waste bin located:
- Outside the main entrance to the library
- Outside the Native American Forum
- Outside the main entrance to Science B
- Outside east entrance to Siemens Hall
- Inside entrance hall to Founders Hall
Composting and Food Waste Collection
With your help, HSU is keeping over 150 tons of food waste out of the landfill each year! There are now even more food waste collection containers conveniently located on campus:
- At the entrance to the Depot and inside the Depot
- On the University Center Quad
- Main entrance to the library
- Main entrance to South Campus Marketplace
- At the main entrance to BSS
- In the red barrels for all apartments and residence halls except Redwood, Sunset, and the Canyon Complex (see picture below)
All these containers accept biodegradable materials appropriate for cold composting. Please no dairy or meat in these containers but they do accept coffee grounds, soiled paper products, eggshells, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains.
Of this organic waste 8,000 pounds stays on campus and is composted by WRRAP to produce soil amendment for the campus grounds and CCAT. Due to the limited capacity of the campus composting site the rest of this biogenic waste is accepted by the Humboldt Waste Management Authority and goes to a commercial composting facility.
Other Recycling
Contact Morgan King at firstname.lastname@example.com to have the following campus-generated items picked up for recycling:
- Hard-bound books
- Scrap metal and wire
- Carpeting
- Mixed rigid plastics
- Appliances
- Laboratory and field equipment
- Brick, porcelain, concrete, broken glass
Reuse Opportunities
The EPA recognizes reuse to have a lower environmental impact than recycling. These are just some of the reuse opportunities on campus:
School and office supplies: Reusable Office Supply Exchange (R.O.S.E.) located at the Warren house 53 south of the library accepts surplus and used school and office supplies. Managed through WRRAP, these supplies are made available for free to the campus. R.O.S.E is open 8-5pm, Monday through Friday.
Re-usable office equipment and furniture: Contact Plant Operations to request a pick-up.
Packaging peanuts and pillows: These are accepted by Shipping and Receiving beside Plant Operations.
Graduation gown and caps: CCAT hosts a graduation gown rental and collection each year.
Dishes: For your next campus event or gathering rent dishes from Dining Catering Services for less than the cost of disposable tableware. And YES, dining washes the dishes. Contact Violet at firstname.lastname@example.com or (707) 826-5311 for more details.
Dorm Stuff: During move-out at the end of each semester Housing & Dining, WRRAP, and Plant Operations host a collection for reusable items; that are donated to local charities and thrift stores.
Miscellaneous: The campus holds frequent public auctions of surplus property. These will include fun items such as vehicles, furniture, electronics and construction supplies. Auctions are made public through the university announcements and local newspapers.

text: What defines a hero? Is it the vanquishing of monsters and madmen? Or is it something more? It has been five years since the legendary Perseus defeated the evil Gorgon Medusa, killed the Kraken and assumed the crown of Argos. Things seemed idyllic throughout the kingdom and the news of an heir put the citizens in a celebratory mood.Yet lurking in the shadows is the one being in Argos simmering with hate and discontent. And as gods and enemies alike conspire to destroy him, Perseus faces his greatest test ever...what does it mean to be a hero. Inspired by the classic Ray Harryhausen movie Clash of the Titans, is the heralded continuation of the story. Now presented for the first time in its entirety as a 96-page graphic novel, Wrath of the Titans delivers everything a proper Greek Drama demands: a hero, a cause, secret pacts, divine meddling and revenge, insurmountable challenges, dangerous creatures and non-stop adventure.

Bulletproof: Mandatory Rules for Deal Protections
Brian JM Quinn
BC Law School
Journal of Corporation Law, Vol. 32, No. 4, Summer 2007
Stanford Law and Economics Olin Working Paper No. 349
This Article provides an economic analysis of mechanisms that protect negotiated acquisitions of companies and explains the need for a mandatory rule limiting the use of such mechanisms. The Delaware courts have in fact imposed restrictions on various forms of deal protection without recognizing a consistent underlying economic logic to their decisions and without establishing a consistent principle governing different forms of deal protection. At the same time, practitioners continue to push the edge of the envelope seeking ways to create stronger deal protection. I argue that when viewed together from an economic perspective, the courts' somewhat ad hoc decisions relating to deal protection are consistent with the efficiency objective underlying corporate law and should be bolstered rather than undermined. Specifically, I argue that sellers should be prohibited from providing buyers in non-Revlon transactions with "bulletproof" protection. Instead, sellers should be permitted to provide limited protection only to the extent necessary to compensate bidders for the transaction and opportunity costs of making bids. A well-measured termination fee should be sufficient for this purpose.

In recognition of Mayo Clinic Health System in St. James being named Best Workplace in the small hospitals of Minnesota category by the Minnesota Hospital Association earlier this year, St. James Mayor Gary Sturm declared June 27 "Mayo Clinic Health System in St. James Best Minnesota Hospital Workplace Day."
According to the mayor, those who serve in the hospital have a major responsibility to the welfare of the community, and MCHS in St. James "has become an aligned work family by implementing strategies around a culture of safety, trust, and communication."
The hospital was also given the "good neighbor award" Friday.
Sturm added that the good-neighbor award is given out periodically to those who exceed expectations, and Ryan Smith--administrator at MCHS in St. James--called the award "unexpected," and said, "It was nice to see."

When East Palo Alto activist William Webster stepped into a plane headed for Paris on Sunday, it marked the first time he would travel abroad in over four decades. But he wasn't about to miss the world premiere of an opera he wrote back in the early 1970s.
His musical composition, "The Little Match Girl," based on Hans Christian Andersen's tragic story, will be performed June 20 as part of a four-day music festival in Paris' famed Montparnasse area.
"I'm just bewildered," Webster said in an interview before his departure. "This happening is unbelievable."
Webster describes himself as a man of "multiple incarnations." After getting a graduate degree in German studies from Stanford, he became a college professor in the 1960s and later joined the private telecommunications field for more than a decade. Since 1992, he's been on the administrative staff of Stanford's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
And over the last 25 years, he's also been a tireless affordable housing advocate for the East Palo Alto community.
Webster's first love was music, which he studied as an undergraduate at Stanford.
"I wanted to continue on as a graduate student in music, but I was rejected," Webster said. Even so, he had already written one opera, an interpretation of the Cyrano de Bergerac story.
But Webster put aside his music dreams to pursue German studies and later teach the language and German literature.
Then in 1972, he began working on "The Little Match Girl," which he finished two years later. Webster got two prominent Bay Area opera singers, Sharon Davis and Julia Wade, to perform the opera in his studio and gave copies of the recording -- on cassette tapes -- to friends and music associates.
Among recipients was his friend Roger Dickinson-Brown, an acclaimed American poet and teacher who also studied at Stanford and later moved to France.
A few years ago Dickenson-Brown encouraged Webster to have "The Little Match Girl" remastered onto CDs and began distributing them around Paris.
"He shared these recordings with people he knew in France and then he started sending me these email reports of the response," said Webster. "I was dumbfounded."
Through his connections, Dickenson-Brown got the opera into the Paris festival. His son, Adrian Harrington Brown, produced the opera, which will be performed by French singers.
While in Paris, Webster said he'll be staying with Dickenson-Brown.
Someday, Webster said, he would like to see his composition performed in the Bay Area, with proceeds benefiting East Palo Alto residents. It would bring two of his loves -- opera and his community -- together.
"This story of 'The Little Match Girl' is so relevant to the themes of struggling for survival and existence and homelessness," Webster said. "That is my prayer."

Mapun, also called Cagayan Sulu, island, southwestern Sulu Sea, Philippines. Low-lying and surrounded by 13 small islets and coral reefs, it has an area of 26 square miles (67 square km). Mapun was a centre of pirate activity by Muslims (Moros) in the 19th century. The island (together with Sibutu island) was inadvertently omitted when the United States acquired the Philippine islands from Spain in 1898, but it was purchased from Spain in 1900 and was part of the Philippines when independence was granted in 1935. Dry-rice agriculture, copra production, and trading are the principal economic activities. The Jama Mapun people constitute the great majority of the island's population. They speak a Sama-Bajau language of the Austronesian language family, and most are adherents of Islam.

Knitting with Fibromyalgia.
Any other knitters have FMS? How do you work around the pain in your arms? I don't want to quit but man does this pain kill me!
Insanenewknitter posted this thread a while back: http://www.knittinghelp.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=111254
However, she didn't get any replies (meaning, I guess, that no one had any information), so perhaps you could PM her.
I have Fibro, as well, and knitting is sometimes good
and sometimes really bad, right now I am trying to make a baby blanket for my new great nephew using the pattern in the Big Needle Knit Afghan book, Morning Sunlight, I know the pattern has errors, but I am not that experienced to know what the errors are and correct them myself, so getting very exasperated! There is even a thread on here about it, but no way to reply to it.:aww:
oh, and ways to help
I knit with my arms resting on a pillow, and knit continental whenever possible, and try rubbing your forearms down with Theragesic, it really works for me.
What is Thergesic? I've heard creams really help with FM pain.
It is a muscle rub, but it doesn't have capsaicin in it (or however you spell that stuff). That stuff can agitate our nerves to the point of exhaustion, you know the fight or flight thing that we get that ends up dousing us with adrenaline for hours and hours? Theragesic has only Menthol in it, as a warning, it will set your skin on fire! But it doesn't bother the nerves as much, and sitting in front of a fan after putting it on makes it no biggy. You can buy it at Wal-Mart in the pharmacy section right next to ben-gay and icyhot. If you haven't heard of it yet, please look into lowdosenaltrexone.org, you won't be sorry.
Well drats. I'm highly allergic to menthol. :( I'm going to have to do a little digging to find creams that don't contain menthol. You should have seen me after the Blistex incident. LOL I looked like a puffer fish. Little did I know it contains menthol.
Then you might try the wrapping of your arms, I wrap my legs, and it helps a lot, I have to use lightweight fabric, because I am naturally hot blooded, but if you want warmth, you can use fleece. You wrap your arms (or legs) starting at the top with strips of fabric about a foot wide, in a spiral down to the hand (or foot). DO NOT WRAP TOO TIGHT, fleece is best because it has elasticity. This should help with any muscle soreness, and because it is an even wrapping, it does not hurt trigger points.
You should join https://www.facebook.com/groups/Fellow.Travelers/
this is a very informative site, and it helps to know you are not alone :)
Thank you. :) I will definitely try this.
You are quite welcome!

A look into some amazing game universes, and their intricacies.
What is it about the game world that reels you in? Is it the disregard for other virtual life? Is it the quest of epic proportions? Could it be the magic, the war, the technology, or the variety of inhabitants?
Whatever it is that interests you about a game's world, it is in truth the whole game universe that should be receiving your total attention. The universe that a game is set in affords players a set of norms and rules that over time, they not only get used to, but find comfort in. Every sequel and spinoff then becomes comparable to the player's first foray in the universe of that game.
While some sequel experiences may leave players wishing they were back in the first game, others add many interesting layers to an already enjoyable experience. Some may focus on a new protagonist or a different time within the game's verse. Others still continue the original story with new stomping grounds.
Consider if you will, the wondrous, magical world of Grand Theft Auto. Even though the game started as a top down driver, as soon as Grand Theft Auto III burst onto the scene, the gaming world had a new force to reckon with. The open world masterpiece had it all.
For starters, there were a ton of missions of all varying difficulties, and varying levels of fun as well. When not progressing in the story, players were free to explore the fictional Liberty City. For all its mayhem, GTA had managed to perfectly parody the suburban and city crime world.
But it wasn't until the games kept on rolling out, each with its own city to parody, that we could truly appreciate the GTA universe as a whole. Vice City gave us the GTA version of my hometown Miami back in the 80s. San Andreas took us to the twisted version of the West coast, taking us through the game's version of Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and San Francisco. Liberty City was then revisited, followed by the stunning revisiting of Los Santos just last year.
The game has seen a plethora of sequels and spin-offs, but no matter where players roam, it all feels like home. Familiar characters are mentioned across the games, the available car types are all familiar, and the quirky personalities and story lines feel like they can only be found in a GTA game. It is a well thought out universe, and one that I hope won't be going anywhere any time soon.
Another shining example of a game universe done right has to be the Pokémon series. Though profoundly similar, each game delivers new enemies and locations to explore. The game changer with Pokémon though, are the lovable creatures themselves!
Within the Poké-verse, each region has its own library of over 100 Pokémon to find, train, and battle. The path to becoming a Pokemon master changes with each installment. Every iteration is so unique, that each one has its own fan base.
The Pokémon Universe is expanded upon almost every year, and even then, no one seems to mind the remakes. It is a well thought out universe, and one that holds its fans captive. Other games would do well to delve deeper within their universes.
Look at the latest game in the inFamous line up. Even though series regular Cole wasn't at the helm, the new face Delsin Rowe provides a fresh opportunity to take a new character into the Infamous world. The new locale doesn't hurt either. But even with the changes made, everything you've come to find out about the Infamous Universe remains constant.
This is the beauty of expanding a game's universe. You can see the world through new eyes, have all new adventures, and take on fresh problems. All while staying within the universe that you've grown accustomed to.
That's where spinoffs can shine as well. Sometimes the most popular character isn't the one you get control of. For example, Metal Gear Solid 4 turned one of the most hated characters in Metal Gear history into a cyborg ninja badass.
It wasn't long after that fans of the newly reformed Raiden got news that they would get to take control of the high frequency blade in Raiden's own game, Metal Gear Rising. Though it strayed far from the original games of its name sake, It still offered an adventure that in its own way flaunted its Metal Gear roots.
It has to be said that even Assassin's Creed and Final Fantasy have taken their universes to all new heights, each with a unique way of complimenting the stories within them. AC games show you many periods of time within one universe through genetic ancestral memories. Final Fantasy games share so many similarities despite having such wildly different stories that I like to imagine they are the same world in different dimensions.
So next time you're playing that hot new game, take a moment to notice the things that make it what it is. When the sequel comes out, note the sense of familiarity you have with the game. Some people remember epic games, but try to notice how amazing a game universe can be.

Compared to yesteryear, WWE has done a good job at not smothering us every ten minutes about their latest release from WWE Films. Lord knows everyone got tired of Randy Orton threatening, "I'll go to the papers if I have to!" after they played that That's What I Am commercial a billion times. I volunteered to give their newest attempt, Christmas Bounty, a look. I have a soft spot for Christmas movies, so I figure that might make it more forgivable. Plus it stars Mike "the Miz" Mizanin and I admittedly find the guy pretty entertaining. Sure, he's floundered for the past couple years after he and R-Truth were fed to John Cena and the Rock and treated as afterthoughts, but he's done a lot of great stuff in his career. His original Cena feud where he kept bragging about winning by forfeit as if it made him a huge legend? His partnership with John Morrison and all the internet videos they made together? The way his winning of the WWE Championship caused a little girl in the crowd to become so mad that it appeared she was possessed by a demon? All gold.
I wasn't expecting much when looking towards Christmas Bounty's debut on ABC Family, but at least it would be better than the Big Show comedy vehicle Knucklehead. Right? I was watching the latest Monday Night Raw and I wasn't so sure. They promoted the movie with a clip and there didn't appear to be anything resembling humor in there. It seemed like it was supposed to be funny, but there was nothing that came close to making me crack a smile. This is what they were leading with? Hoo boy.
The plot of Christmas Bounty is Tory Bell (Francia Raisa) is a schoolteacher in Manhattan, where she's in a relationship with rich and genuinely good guy James (Will Greenberg), but has been keeping her past life a secret. It turns out she has some action skills and uses them behind his back, like Peter Parker sneaking off to be Spider-Man. She gets a phone call from mobster Manucci (Aleks Paunovic) and finds out he's out of prison and looking for revenge. She returns to her home in Trenton, New Jersey and we find out that she and her entire family are bounty hunters and she's the one responsible for putting Manucci behind bars in the first place. They also work along with her ex-boyfriend Mikey Muscles (the Miz), who acts smug and flirty at Tory in response to her return home. Then James follows her to Trenton and things get awkward.
Before I forget, I should note that the very first scene is James teaching Tory how to use an app on her phone, so you can tell this really is a WWE production.
The Manucci part of the plot is kind of hilarious...in a bad way. The setup is pretty sound in terms of concept, but the movie paints it so terribly. All the dialogue talks about how Manucci is out of prison and what we're meant to understand is that he escaped prison, making him wanted by the authorities by default. Until the last five minutes, there's really no indication of this, especially since convicted mobsters in these situations tend to get out of prison via good behavior, parole, ratting someone out, exploiting corrupt officials, etc. When a mafia guy gets out, most of the time it's because they're allowed to leave in a legal capacity, even if done through underhanded means. That makes it come off as really silly when Tory's mother (April Telek) and father (Michael Hanus) decide that they'll just arrest Manucci again. FOR GOOD THIS TIME! I spent nearly the entire movie wondering what exactly they'd bring him in on because up until the end, it seems like nothing more than a Cape Fear situation.
I could probably go into the improbability of bounty hunters going after the one type of criminal that's really good about not having warrants out for their arrest, but this is an ABC Family production and I'd be overthinking it.
What's extra annoying is that there are moments where the story seems to be going in the right direction, only to grind to a halt. For instance, about a third of the way in, right as everything's really starting to drag, they toss in a fairly decent action sequence with a shootout and James shows up in the middle of it in a way that's unexpected, but understandable. The sense of danger from having bounty hunters and the mafia go at it causes him to faint. You would think that James would be introduced to the idea that Tory's a bounty hunter and the rest of the movie would be his reaction to this revelation as a fish out of water. That could have made the movie more bearable, but instead, he wakes up with no idea and they spend a good chunk of the story with Tory and her family hiding the truth like a bad sitcom plot. James stops being a character and becomes more of a nuisance.
Speaking of James, one interesting thing going on in the movie – and I still can't believe I'm saying this – is that the Tory/James/Mikey love triangle is a complete copy of Casablanca. I'm not kidding. While Tory is far more of a protagonist than Ilsa, Mikey is easily Rick in that he's a rough-around-the-edges ex-boyfriend with a chip on his shoulder over the way Tory up and left him with no explanation. That leaves James as Victor, who isn't nearly as cool as Mikey, but is still portrayed as an understanding and ultimately decent guy, even when he doesn't have to be. Shoving such a classic dynamic into an underwhelming, goofball Christmas vehicle is itself kind of interesting and isn't the worst idea. Too bad they completely change one of the best and most defining parts of Casablanca's story because of course they do.
As easy as it would be to harp on a wrestler having such a major role in a movie, the Miz is easily the highlight. Granted, there are plenty of times where he acts more smarmy and smirky when he's supposed to be openly disgruntled (and yes, he does do the, "Really?" routine at one point), but he's easily the closest thing Christmas Bounty has to a competent actor and he never seems out of place in all of his action sequences. Francia Raisa is wooden, Will Greenberg is just kind of there for most of his performance and everyone else is trying to see who can play the loudest, most obnoxious New Jersey caricature. The winner of that contest is Liz the Legs (April Telek), who is introduced in what seems like an acceptable one-off gag that moves the story forward, only a few minutes later they treat her as a serious part of the plot despite her over-the-top Jersey accent that makes her seem like something out of Saturday Night Live.
Outside of Miz, the best performance would easily be Aleks Paunovic as Manucci, who brings forth a likeable, if generic, mafia boss villain. The fact that he's built like a brick house adds to the charm and gives him a naturally intimidating presence that the writing itself never truly lends itself to. You would think that as the huge bad guy, he'd get into some kind of big brawl with Mikey Muscles at some point, but the two rarely, if ever, share screentime. Instead, he gets into a handful of fights with Tory, who is half his size. I'm rather surprised that they even show him landing a couple blows on her, but that finally explained to me why the whole thing kept flashing the TV-14 rating.
Well, that and the occasional joke about Tory's mother's gigantic cleavage.
The climax has to do with the wedding of Manucci's sister Big Donna (Sidika Larbes), which leads to the one gag in the whole movie that I found genuinely clever. Since there are so many mobsters in attendance, there's a shot of them lined up and handing their guns over to a coat check woman who would place each handgun onto a hook while giving them a ticket for later. Inexplicably, they replay the exact shot later to really drive home the concept for the sake of plot. The same guy hands over his gun, which is placed on the same hook.
Now that I think about it, Big Donna's groom is not only never shown, but he's never even alluded to in any way. That's kind of weird.
Christmas Bounty isn't very good. Is it worse than Knucklehead? I'm not really sure, as I've repressed most of my memories of that movie. It doesn't feature a big, fat guy having diarrhea on a bus, so it has that going for it, but there aren't many reasons to even give it a look. It isn't funny, the script looks like it could have used another couple of rewrites, most of the actors are too obnoxious to stand and even the action is affected by the, "You're watching ABC Family! Somebody just got shot, but this sure is wacky!" sound effects and direction. All that and there's very little reason for it to even be a Christmas movie in the first place. The whole thing just makes me feel like this.
Hey, is it spoilers if I tell you that it ends with a dance sequence that has nothing to do with anything? Because it totally does and it's totally dumb.

The apprehension of Richard Yang, wanted in connection with the July 4, 1998, knifing death of his wife, Louise Yang, was announced early Saturday by Richard J. Corvington, special agent in charge with the St. Louis Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Sikeston Department of Public Safety Director Drew Juden.
Authorities said on Thursday the combined investigative efforts of DPS, the FBI's resident agency in Cape Girardeau and the FBI's legal attache offices in Beijing, China, and Mexico City and Guadalajara, Mexico, resulted in a lead to Yang's whereabouts.
"On Friday, April 15, 2005, at 3:30 p.m., the FBI's Guadalajara Legat office advised of an interview of a cooperating individual had resulted in the probable location of Richard Yang in Mexico," stated Juden in a news release. "At approximately 6:35 p.m., Yang was arrested."
Yang admitted his identity to authorities. He is in the process of being returned to Missouri to face charges.
Louise Yang had reportedly gone home the night of the murder when she was met inside by her estranged husband. The two apparently struggled and he chased her through the house stabbing her repeatedly and leaving a bloody trail.
Approximately 45 minutes after Yang stabbed his wife to death he called police stating: "I killed my wife."
Yang subsequently entered a guilty plea to a charge of second degree murder in Scott County. Allowed to post bond, he was released from custody until formal sentencing. Yang fled from the county in 1999.
After exhausting all local fugitive leads and determining that Yang had fled the state of Missouri, local authorities contacted the FBI. Yang was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution by federal authorities.
Juden said the case was among those "cold cases" he and his staff have pushed to solve since he took over as director. The case received national media coverage from "America's Most Wanted" three different times which resulted in numerous leads throughout the country and overseas during several years.
"While leads from the television program did not directly lead to Yang's capture we believe the publicity lent a definite momentum to the investigation which kept Yang on the move," said Juden. "I think it goes back to - you can run but you can't hide."
Federal marshals are expected to return Yang this week to Cape Girardeau where he will be arraigned on the federal charge of flight from prosecution. He will then be released to Scott County authorities.

eviGroup's Pad UMPC is all well and good, but we'd be lying if we said we weren't more interested in the French company's upcoming Android-based MID, the eviGroup Wallet. The 5-inch touchscreen device was potentially going to arrive in France this month, but company CEO Nicholas Ruiz has confirmed that the process is turning out to be a little trickier than eviGroup expected. The good news is that there's a new prototype - shown here on the right - which looks a lot less "iPhone inspired" and gains a front-facing webcam, and Ruiz reckons it's still on track for a January release.
In fact, the Wallet is apparently ready for "initial production" with suppliers for the ARM chipsets arranged and several different color variants sketched out (you can see renders in the gallery below). As far as we're aware there's no core specification change, so the Wallet still has an 800 x 480 WVGA touchscreen, WiFi b/g, GPS and integrated 3G.
As the ongoing CrunchPad/JooJoo saga has shown, getting a new device off the ground and onto shelves is no easy matter, and we're not really surprised that eviGroup are having a few difficulties. Still, our fingers remain crossed that this could be the low cost sofa-browser of our dreams.
