Gonzalez, Eckstein, Venable sit Wednesday
Written by | Bill Center | 11:59 a.m., Jun 30, 2010
With left-hander Jeff Francis starting for the Rockies Wednesday afternoon at Petco Park, the Padres lineup will be without both first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and right fielder Will Venable.
For Gonzalez, it will be a regular day off -- only his fourth of the season away from first base. Gonzalez said this has nothing to do with the right shoulder he tweaked diving back into third Monday night.
Venable likely wouldn't be starting Wednesday against Francis even if he were 100 percent. But he experienced back spasms Tuesday. "They are much better now," said Venable.
Second baseman David Eckstein is also getting Wednesday afternoon off.
Jerry Hairston Jr. will lead off Wednesday afternoon (12:35 p.m.; no television) as the Padres seek to avoid being swept by the Rockies in the three-game series.
Both right fielder Brad Hawpe (bruised ribs from hitting a wall in Anaheim over the weekend) and first baseman Todd Helton (back spasms) return to the Rockies Wednesday afternoon after missing the first two games of the series with minor injuries.

|Return to
Horsham Library
Reading is a basic building block for success in school, at work and throughout life. In recent years, educators, psychologists and brain researchers have pooled their knowledge to forge new understandings about how children develop both physically and mentally, how they learn, and what parents, teachers, caregivers, and librarians can do to help children succeed.
The single most important thing families can do to help children become readers is to read to them every day, starting as young as possible. (source: ReadingRockets) Sharing books with adults gives children many benefits — from new vocabulary words to an understanding of what the printed word is all about. By enjoying books with their families, children learn to know the purposes and pleasures of reading. Reading is a skill — like riding a bicycle! The more your child reads, the better at reading he or she will become.
Reading to young children promotes language acquisition and correlates with literacy development and, later on, with achievement in reading comprehension and overall success in school. The percentage of young children read aloud to daily by a family member is one indicator of how well young children are prepared for school.
Pre-school age children do not necessarily learn to read at an early age when families read to them. Instead, they learn important "pre-literacy skills" (sometimes referred to as "emergent literacy skills") that will help them learn to read when they go to school. They learn what a book is and how it works. They learn that printed letters stand for sounds and words. They learn concepts (like up/down, big/little, colors, shapes, etc.) Children who read with family members also learn to regard the act of reading as a loving, sharing opportunity to form close bonds with a parent, relative, or caregiver. Even babies benefit, since babies love the sound of a human voice, especially the familiar voices of Mom and Dad.
It really is as simple as that. And here's the good news: It's easy to do and it's great fun. With youngsters, remember that reading is a physical act, as well as a mental one. It involves hand-eye coordination. So, when you read, involve your child by:
When your child is still a baby, make your reading sessions short but frequent.
As your child grows older, begin to read books with a lot of repetition and rhyme. Repetition makes books predictable, and young readers love knowing what comes next. Rhyming helps children learn to say sounds and develop basic language skills.
Wolf Voice: Little pig, little pig, Let me come in.
Little Pig Voice: Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin.
Wolf Voice: Then I'll huff and I'll puff, And I'll blow your house in!
After the wolf has blown down the first pig's house, your child will soon join in with the refrain.
As your children begin to read on their own, it's important to continue to read to them, but equally important to listen to them read to you. Children thrive on having someone appreciate their developing skills.
Listening to your children read aloud gives you a chance to praise their new skills and gives them the chance to practice their reading. Most importantly, it's another way to enjoy reading together.

As someone accustomed to hate mail, death threats, and assorted negative responses to my efforts to help facilitate the prosecution of Nazi war criminals, perhaps I should not have been surprised by what happened to me recently, but I have to say that the immediacy of the attack in question, and its abhorrent content, gave me pause for reflection about my chosen mission in life and the person who inspired me to undertake it.
Fresh controversy has erupted over the reputation of the legendary Nazi-hunter, Simon
A new biography of him by Israeli historian Tom Segev was this week dismissed as a "whitewash" by Guy Walters, the British author who challenged Wiesenthal's credibility in his own book Hunting Evil last year.
Mr Walters recently branded Wiesenthal "one of the biggest conmen of the 20th century" for lying about his wartime experiences and exaggerating his role in tracking down war criminals.
Revelations that Simon Wiesenthal once worked for Mossad suggest that Israel did more to catch war criminals than was previously believed, according to one of the late Nazi-hunter's associates.
In a book released this week, Israeli historian Tom Segev claimed that in the 1960s Mr Wiesenthal gave the intelligence agency details of Nazis working on Egypt's rocket programme .
Mr Segev also alleged that in 1948 Mr Wiesenthal was involved in Mossad's efforts to capture Adolf Eichmann.
A man named as the third most-wanted Nazi suspect has been charged with participating in the murder of 430,000 Jews during the Holocaust.
Samuel Kunz, 90, who is believed to have spent 18 months as a guard at the Belzec death camp in Poland, has been indicted in Germany.
He is also suspected of murder over "personal excesses" for allegedly shooting ten Jews in two separate incidents.
Mr Kunz, number three on the Simon Wiesenthal Centre's list of wanted Nazis, has not faced trial before.
An Australian court has refused to extradite an alleged Nazi war criminal to his native Hungary.
As an officer in the Nazi-allied Hungarian army during the Second World War, Charles Zentai is accused of beating a 14-year-old Jew to death for not wearing a yellow star. Now 88, he denies the charges, claiming he was not in Budapest at the time. He has been fighting extradition for five years.
Efraim Zuroff is running out of time. Zuroff is a Nazi-hunter — in fact, since Simon Wiesenthal's death in 2005, he has become the world's most prominent hunter of Nazi war criminals. However, the number of those who perpetrated the Holocaust has been reduced by the passage of time. Those who remain alive are in their late 80s and 90s. Despite this, Zuroff has vowed to give them no respite.

The moment we use the term 'help', a kind of egocentric idea enters into us. If we help someone, that means we are in a superior position. When we help, we feel that we are one step ahead or one step higher than the ones that we are helping. But if we serve someone, then we offer our capacity with humility, on the strength of our loving concern and oneness. So let us use the proper term, 'service'.

. . . The mind seeks knowledge as a handle on the cosmos from which it gains leverage for greater control and self-satisfaction, but synchronicity will not allow itself to be used so roughly. Like the flea (on the 'iron bull'), we must eventually give up our effort to penetrate the impenetrable and surrender to a reality which we cannot master but to which we must submit. In the end, to be honest to our exploration or synchronicity we must ourselves surrender to it. This means to relax and allow the sometimes fickle tide of fate to take its natural course, to let it wash over and benignly carry us. We must sacrifice the urgent, petty agendas of the ego to a larger field or participation. We must learn humility and own humor, finding guidance in intuition and making logic a servant rather than master. Control is a personal experience, surrender is a transpersonal one. Through surrender we learn to move with the rhythms that flow through our existence and in so doing open ourselves to the wellsprings of life that are the gift of the divine Trickster.

My list of virtues contain'd at first but twelve; but a Quaker friend having kindly informed me that I was generally thought proud; that my pride show'd itself frequently in conversation; that I was not content with being in the right when discussing any point, but was overbearing, and rather insolent, of which he convinc'd me by mentioning several instances; I determined endeavouring to cure myself, if I could, of this vice or folly among the rest, and I added Humility to my list) giving an extensive meaning to the word.
I cannot boast of much success in acquiring the reality of this virtue, but I had a good deal with regard to the appearance of it....
In reality, there is, perhaps, no one of our natural passions so hard to subdue as pride. Disguise it, struggle with it, beat it down, stifle it, mortify it as much as one pleases, it is still alive, and will every now and then peep out and show itself; you will see it, perhaps, often in this history; for, even if I could conceive that I had compleatly overcome it, I should probably be proud of my humility.

The humbleness of a warrior is not the humbleness of the beggar. The warrior lowers his head to no one, but at the same time, he doesn't permit anyone to lower his head to him. The beggar, on the other hand, falls to his knees at the drop of a hat and scrapes the floor to anyone he deems to be higher; but at the same time, he demands that someone lower than him scrape the floor for him.

Writing Seminar in Cultural Studies and Criticism: Economic Development
Kalin, Carol
How do we explain the vast disparities in standards of living around the world? What can be done about it? Something of an instant classic, Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson is the result of a long-term collaboration between an economist and a political scientist. Their thesis is that one must look beyond traditional social science explanations of the wealth of nations to history and, more specifically, to the institutions that set the rules of the game in a society. They illustrate their points using contemporary examples including the United States, Brazil, Russia, and China as well as ancient civilizations such as the Mayan city states and the Ghana empire. Taught by a retired U.S. diplomat, the seminar will draw on the work of Acemoglu and Robinson to explore ideas about economic development and inequality, both in the international context and here at home. Students will write outlines, essays, and various other products, culminating in midterm and final portfolios.

Abuse and Neglect of Older Adults:
Understanding Gender Differences
Abuse and neglect in later life can affect a person's health, happiness and safety. Older adults can experience different kinds of harm from people they rely on or trust.
Abuse of older adults can occur at home, in the community, or in institutional settings. It can take many forms including physical, emotional, financial, sexual, social, spiritual, or withholding medications or the necessities of life.
Both men and women can be abusive or neglectful. Older women are more likely to be victims of family violence than older men, in part because they usually live longer. That abuse or neglect more often comes from the older woman's spouse, partner or adult children. For an older man, the abuse or neglect is most likely from his adult children or close friends.
Although older adults may experience harm from strangers, this is much less common with the exception of financial abuse or fraud.
When might the abuse begin?
Women are more likely than men to experience abuse in their younger years, which may continue into later life. The effects of many years of abuse can be hard on a person's health.
For older men, their first experience with abuse or neglect may occur in later life. It may begin after the man has developed a disabling condition and relies on others for help.
What are the differences of abuse among women and men?
Abuse hurts both older women and older men. However, they may face different risks and be affected in different ways.
- Older women are more likely than older men to have experienced a history of emotional, physical or sexual abuse.
- Older women may have fewer financial resources than older men, and may find it hard to leave an abusive relationship.
- On average, a woman tends to be smaller than a man, and she may have less ability to defend herself from physical abuse.
- Older women are more likely than older men to have disabling conditions, be widowed or live alone.
- Older women are much more likely than older men to live in a residential care facility where abuse may occur from staff, volunteers, or family.
- Older men are less likely to have network to provide support and protection.
- Older men may depend on their spouse or partner to do the cooking and cleaning, and may therefore find it hard to leave an abusive relationship.
- In some relationships, the man may be much older than the woman, and therefore more vulnerable.
What are the similarities of abuse among women and men?
Abuse and neglect affect older adults emotionally and physically. Both older women and older men may feel shocked, embarrassed, guilty, or ashamed that someone they trust is hurting or taking advantage of them.
A woman may be concerned about how it reflects on her as a mother or grandmother. A man may hesitate to tell anyone if he feels it will reflect badly on him.
What is the most commonly reported type of abuse?
Financial abuse is the most commonly reported form of abuse faced by older adults.
- Older women are more likely to depend on others to help them with financial matters.
- Some older women may have less experience with finances or banking.
- Older men are likely to have a regular income, such as a pension, and therefore be at greater risk of fraud.
Women may have fewer financial resources, and they tend to live longer than men. If women lose income or assets through financial abuse, it will affect them significantly and for a longer period of time.
How can you get help?
In helping an older person who experiences abuse or neglect, it is important to understand the situation and how the person feels. Be aware of any stereotypes or assumptions you may have about older adults, families, or diverse cultures. Try to understand the circumstances that can contribute to older adults not seeking the help they need.
- Often older adults may not know of local resources available to them. Some older adults may feel that they must help and protect their spouse or children, even if they are abusive. The older adult may not think about the consequences or effects on themselves.
- In spousal abuse, family members may discourage the parent from taking action. They may protect the other parent or may not want to take sides.
- Some older women and men depend on others for assistance with daily living, and they may experience abuse from them. This can have a major impact on the older adult's decision on whether they can leave the situation and how to seek help.
- An older adult's community, culture and perspective on life can also affect their response to the abuse. In many cultures, people expect families to keep problems private or hidden. Older immigrants may face language barriers to seeking help. They may also have no pension or other resources of their own, and they may have little family support.
What should I do if I see a crime of harmful situation?
If you see a crime or harmful situation occurring to an older adult, call the police or 9-1-1 right away.

Punjab: No trace of abducted 15-year-old, people protest
A seven-member gang allegedly headed by Nishan Singh, abducted the 15-year-old girl from her house last week.
Faridkot: There were protests in Faridkot after the police failed to arrest the abductors of a 15-year-old girl. A seven-member gang allegedly headed by Nishan Singh, abducted the girl from her house last week. The gang abducted the girl after allegedly beating up her parents.
Shopkeepers downed their shutters while locals took to the streets citing police apathy in nabbing the criminals. On an earlier occasion in March, Singh had abducted the same girl. But she was found near Mohali and returned to her family.
Singh has been charged with attempt to murder and illegal confinement. This time around the search is still on for the girl and her abductors.

Lions Gate Loses 'Hunger Games' Director in Blow to Sequel
The director of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.'s "The Hunger Games" dropped out of the sequel, clouding the future of a film franchise that has amassed $464 million in ticket sales in its first installment.
Gary Ross, who directed and co-wrote the screenplay for "The Hunger Games," was in talks to write and direct "Catching Fire," the second of three or four movies planned by Lions Gate based on the teen-dystopia novels by Suzanne Collins. Ross cited time constraints for the decision.
"I simply don't have the time I need to write and prep the movie I would have wanted to make because of the fixed and tight production schedule," Ross said in a statement released yesterday by Vancouver-based Lions Gate.
Ross's exit leaves Lions Gate with the unexpected task of replacing the franchise's creative leader just as it gears up for the next movie. Ross earned critical praise while delivering the third-biggest opening weekend of all time, helping to drive the independent studio's stock to a 54 percent gain this year.
Lions Gate, run from Santa Monica, California, didn't address the time frame for choosing a new director, or say whether the change will affect the release of "Catching Fire," scheduled for Nov. 22, 2013.
"We're very sorry that Gary Ross has chosen not to direct Catching Fire," Lions Gate said. "We were really looking forward to making the movie with him. He did an incredible job on the first film and we are grateful for his work."
'Catching Fire'
Ross dropping out may not delay "Catching Fire" because there's enough time before November 2013, Matthew Harrigan, an analyst at Wunderlich Securities, said in an e-mail.
A spokeswoman for Lions Gate, Julie Fontaine, declined to comment beyond the statement. Lions Gate's Summit Entertainment on April 9 pushed back the release of "Ender's Game" by 8 months to Nov. 1, 2013.
Lions Gate added 1.3 percent to $12.78 at the close in New York. The shares closed at a record high of $15.68 on March 21, two days before the release of "The Hunger Games."
The movie has generated $306.6 million in domestic ticket sales, leading the box office for three straight weeks, according to researcher Box Office Mojo. Its $152.5 million opening weekend trails only the final "Harry Potter" movie in 2011 and the 2008 Batman sequel "The Dark Knight."
Outside the U.S. and Canada, revenue totals $157 million, according to Box Office Mojo.
The departure of Ross confirms a report by the trade publication IndieWire last week that said he would drop out. Lions Gate at that time declined to comment.
Ross had agreed to do the sequel, producer Nina Jacobson said in an interview with Bloomberg News published on April 4.
The principal cast, including Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, have signed to complete the series of three or four movies, Jacobson said then.


text: MNCs meanwhile face their own set of problems. One the one hand, they have a set of anti-graft laws, like the UK Bribery Act which came into force this July, that are getting stricter. "Under the UK Bribery Act, a company can be prosecuted even if an 'associated person' bribes a foreign official," says Goldsmith. "An associated person could be a third party like the employee of a PR agency, an employee of a joint venture etc," he adds. The act also enlarges the definition of a bribe to include hospitality related expenses. "We get inquiries from clients if it is okay for them to give out or accept hospitality passes for the Wimbledon championships," adds Goldsmith.

Pharmalot, Pharmalittle: We're Reading About Ebola, Pfizer, Merck and Lots More!!
Top of the morning to you. And a fine one it is. A shiny sun and delicious breeze are enveloping the Pharmalot campus, where the birds are chirping and the official mascots are fertilizing our collection of weeds. As for us, we are readying ourselves for another busy day and brewing a cup or three of welcome stimulation to speed the process. As always, you are welcome to join us. Meanwhile, here are your latest tidbits to get you started. Have a grand day and be in touch…
Tekmira Pharmaceuticals is looking into ways that its experimental Ebola treatment might be used to combat a serious outbreak in West Africa, even if the drug hasn't been formally cleared by various regulatory agencies, The Wall Street Journal writes. The drug maker is one of the companies that stands to benefit from a recent approval by the WHO to use experimental drugs to combat the latest Ebola outbreak. Known as TKM-Ebola, the treatment is being developed under a contract with the U.S. Defense Department.
The U.S. Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, in a 13-2 vote, recommended that people 65 and older be given Pfizer Prevnar 13 vaccine to protect against pneumococcal bacteria that can cause pneumonia, even if they had previously been vaccinated with Merck's Pneumovax vaccine, Reuters reports. But the panel, which provides advice to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, expressed concern that Medicare is unable to cover Prevnar 13 for patients who have already taken Pneumovax.
Merck won FDA approval to sell its treatment for insomnia, a new type of drug considered to have fewer side effects than older pills such as Ambien, Bloomberg News says. Belsomra is designed to turn off wakefulness while commonly used sleeping pills such as Ambien and Lunesta calm the brain.
Amgen says its Kyprolis cancer drug failed to meet its primary endpoint of improving overall survival for patients with relapsed and advanced refractory multiple myeloma in a late-stage clinical trial, according to The Wall Street Journal.
AstraZeneca is starting final-stage Phase III clinical trials for its experimental drug tralokinumab as a treatment for severe asthma, Reuters tells us. The drug was among those highlighted as part of its defense against an abortive $118 billion takeover bid by Pfizer.
U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer wants the federal government to address a potential shortage of an antibiotic commonly prescribed to treat Lyme disease that is driving up the price of the medication, The Journal News reports.
Some of Europe's biggest drugmakers, including Sanofi, Roche and GlaxoSmithKline, are among the bidders for InterMune, according to Bloomberg News.
Pfizer won a defense verdict in Massachusetts federal court against allegations that a man was not adequately warned of the risks of developing pulmonary arterial hypertension from using the Fen-Phen diet-drug cocktail, The National Law Journal writes.

If there's one lesson recent Stanley Cup winners have taught the teams trying to dethrone them, it's the value of building from within. The core of championship teams continues to be players who are drafted and developed by that franchise.But finding the right talent isn't always easy. Every team has had its ups and downs since the draft began in 1963. Here's a look at the hits (and some of the misses) for the five teams in the Pacific Division on Draft Day.

Is it fun going back through the entire DC catalogue to decide what characters to use?
It's fun and It's really tough. Because, if you think about the depth of the DC universe, and how many really cool characters there are, how do you whittle it down to however many make it to the final game? Yeah, it was really fun and there were a lot of spirited debates at the office. But in the end, I think people are going to be pretty happy with who's going to be in the game.
Have you taken a lot of fan feedback into account in that area?
We always pay attention to what our fans are saying. The roster was selected internally (with some input from DC, of course) but in terms of balancing the game as we go, Comic-Con is the first time it's playable by the public, and we've paid attention to what people are saying. Going forward, we'll also be watching Twitter and Facebook and paying attention.
Can you tell us a little bit more about the two characters who were announced—Nightwing and Cyborg?
Yeah, absolutely. They're actually two good examples of the two different character classes that are in the game. Nightwing is what we refer to as a gadget character. He's much more acrobatic and relies on things like his wing-dings as well as his staff. He has two different fight styles, so you can switch between staff attacks, or he can split the staff into two fighting sticks. Cyborg is what we're calling a power character. He's stronger than Nightwing and also has a lot of gadgets, but he's got a lot of projectile-based attacks. He's got cannons, rockets and missiles that he fires. Nightwing and Cyborg are very different in the way that they play, and hopefully people will like them.
Can you reveal any more about the character roster? How many characters will there be overall?
We haven't announced that yet. If you've played the last Mortal Kombat, that'll give you a good idea how many we'll end up including with this game. It really does boil down to how many we can get polished to the level that we want them by the time the game comes out.
Are there any left to reveal that are going to be unexpected that fans are going to get really excited about?
That's a great question. Without giving away too much, there's definitely characters that fans are going to get really excited about. Anything more than that, I really can't say unfortunately. You'll just have to wait and see.

ESA – Day1 am
Fall on the eastside, I still know of no batter place to experience or enjoy fall and all its rewards. I've been "doin" fall now for 8 weeks and while saw the best "eastern" color this past week, nothing beats the color at home!
We started off at one of my still favorite places, Mono Lake. These photos were taken this morning, they hot off the sensor. And the sum up a point I try to make with folks. Move!
Mono Lake is a busy place right now with the fall color in the hills and the full moon rise comin up. So as much as I watch the scenery, I watch other photographers and parking is really common. They put down their tripod and there they stay until time to get breakfast. What you see here is just five minutes of time but in those five minutes the clouds change and since they tie everything together, I felt I had to move ten feet to my right. I'm glad I did, a stronger photo for it. For both photos, a split grad .9 was used and the camera's WB was Cloudy A6 with -2.5 exp comp. Easy stuff.

Each day, we comb through pages upon pages of crime reports from the Wichita Police Department. Below is a quick glance at some bits and pieces from those sheets.
These reports are designed to give you an idea of what residents and police are dealing with around town.
You can read all of the sheets by going here: WPD Media Reports (click on the "Media Reports" tab)
Wasting water…

Rude caller…
11:14 am
A 44/f says she received a call from someone claiming to be with Federal Law Enforcement. The caller said they sent two letters to the woman regarding a federal suit and she had not responded. The caller wanted to confirm some of her personal information, but she refused. The caller then became angry and said that local police would be there in ten minutes to arrest her.
Stolen toolboxes…
12:42 pm
A 52/m says someone took tool boxes and tools from the beds of two pickups in the 11800 block of W. Central. Loss is estimated at over $1000.
"I STILL don't sell drugs…"

Stolen go-cart…

A New Law-School Curriculum, By Jeremy Blachman
On WSJ.com, Jeremy Blachman, a 2005 Harvard Law School grad and the author of the novel, Anonymous Lawyer, weighs in on his alma mater's recent announcement that it's revamping its first-year curriculum. Harvard will lighten the hours spent on traditional first-year subjects while adding classes in legislation, problem solving, and international law.
Blachman says that Harvard isn't doing enough "in a world where law school needs to compete for young people's attention with extreme sports, reality television, and Mark Foley's instant messages." If he were he charge, he'd jettison the entire current curriculum, including "that confusing class about exploding packages and broken swimming-pool slides." Among his suggestions:
- It's Not Like It Seems on TV: Too often, I find that I need to explain to a well-meaning relative at yet another funeral or Bar Mitzvah that being a lawyer in today's world is not like it seems on TV — and I just don't have the words to do it. Everyone thinks lawyers spend all of their time in the courtroom arguing in front of judges. Or, if you watch "Boston Legal," canoodling in a closet. 3 credits.
- Long-Term Planning: Lots of law graduates spend just a few years at a law firm, and often end up fleeing to some other industry entirely. It should be a law school's job to prepare students not just for their first career, but for all the ones that follow. This class will include modules on investing your law firm salary so it lasts through the surfing-instructor phase, as well as classes in teaching elementary school, writing a novel, and becoming the next Star Jones, Nancy Grace, or Ryan Seacrest. Ryan Seacrest is a lawyer, isn't he? 6 credits.
O Law Blog readers, were you in charge of revamping the law school curriculum, what are some classes you'd like to see?

Christmas is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf. The good you do for others is good you do yourself...
~Norman Wesley Brooks, "Let Every Day Be Christmas," 1976
Christmas time is by far my FAVOURITE time of the year. It is the season of giving, being with family, and it is also associated with greater incidences of random acts of kindness.
Of course I am a Christian, so my true love for Christmas originates there. So, while some people like to say "Happy Holidays" or "Seasons Greetings," I prefer to stay true to what this time of year is all about as I exclaim "Merry Christmas!" I feel there should be no shame in saying Merry Christmas. I mean, we don't traditionally say Happy Holidays during Thanksgiving, or Canada Day or on Labour Day, so why should I say that for Christmas.
And while I am a Christian, I still will take time to wish those who are Jewish, Happy Hanukah and so on for friends of other faiths throughout the year Where has this need to be politically correct (Happy Holiday) for Christmas come? Isn't it because of Christmas that a holiday exists in the first place, as well as the birth of Santa? I don't believe saying Merry Christmas requires the recipient to be a Christian; but, rather to be welcoming of the spirit of giving, for after all isn't that what Christmas is all about?
And on that note, in the spirit of giving, practicing random acts is never a bad idea. You don't have to spend a ton of money; you can give your time, hold a door open for a stranger, or spread the contagious gift of a smile. You never know how much you might change the course of someone's life by these simple acts.
Likewise, we should take time to reflect on the goodness, as well as the amazing people we have in our lives. This is truly a perfect time to let people know how much they mean to us.
So whether you are a Christian or not I say to you Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! I truly wish the best for you and yours,

Third Front to Form Government at Centre: CM
By Express News Service - BHADRAK
Published: 31st January 2014 09:02 AM
Last Updated: 31st January 2014 09:04 AM
Hinting at formation of a Third Front for the ensuing Lok Sabha election, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Thursday reiterated the commitment of his Government towards development and progress of the State.
Addressing a public meeting in Nehru stadium here after a spate of inauguration and foundation stone laying, Naveen hinted that Third Front would form next Government at the Centre after the elections.
Launching a scathing attack on the national parties, the Chief Minister said both Congress and BJP are blocking the development of the country. Predicting that the regional parties would play a major role in national politics, he asked the people here to make all efforts for victory of the BJD candidates in the ensuing elections.
Criticising the UPA Government at the Centre, Naveen said despite UPA Government's step-motherly attitude towards Odisha, visible development has taken place in the fields of infrastructure, industry, education, health besides agriculture during the last 14 years of BJD rule.
Highlighting the anti-poverty programmes launched by the State Government, the Chief Minister said his Government is committed to the development of agriculture and welfare of the farmers.
Earlier, he inaugurated the newly constructed Culture Bhawan, Collectorate building, Kendriya Vidyalay besides dedicating Langudi bridge and Khandianal bridge in Bhadrak block and Chunida-Balabhadra bridge on river Kapali.
The Chief Minister visited Dhusuri in Dhamnagar block and laid foundation stone for construction of a high level bridge under Biju Setu Yojana, bridges over rivers Baitarani, Genguti and Kapali in Dhamnagar block besides the buildings of SC hostel and high schools at Raipur, Basuli and Kantika. He also inaugurated the building of ICDS, community centre and two bridges over rivers Reba and Kapali and unveiled a statue of Biju Patnaik.
Forest and Environment Minister Bijayshree Routray, BJD MP from Bhadrak Arjun Charan Sethi, party MLAs Jugal Kishore Patnaik, Prafulla Samal and Bijay Nayak accompanied the Chief Minister.

UK Shale Gas Numbers Could Be Stratospheric
By Peter C Glover
Should we? Shouldn't we? While Europe dithers over whether the blatant economic success of the US shale gas 'miracle' will translate to these shores, the UK Government has been slightly more pro-shale active. But, while the threat of (liberal democrat-instituted) over-regulation still casts a shadow, the pro-shale (mostly conservative) wing of government looks set for a stratospheric boost.
For the second time in the last couple of months, the London Times reports industry sources as claiming the upcoming British Geological Survey's (BGS) official assessment of UK shale reserves, due next month, will be "increased dramatically". If the report is to be believed, the figures being touted for domestic reserves could well prove to be a dazzling "200 times greater than experts previously believed". The Times suggests that the BGS's previous estimate of 5.3 trillion cubic feet is likely to be increased to a huge 1,300 to 1,700 trillion cubic feet. And that would be "enough shale gas to heat every home in Britain for 1,500 years."
If the figures are borne out when the report is finally published in a few weeks time, it would have major ramifications for the UK economy, cheaper gas prices – including across Europe whether European states join the shale revolution or not – and, somewhat negatively, for investment in the green energy industry.
The UK's biggest gas supplier BG's (formerly British Gas) Centrica has already pulled out of green energy commitments in America to invest directly in the US shale gas revolution. But at the recent World Energy Conference in Davos, Centrica CEO Sam Laidlaw was doing his best to play down the potential of UK shale gas. Politics? Because at the same time, Cuadrilla, long vilified for claiming it has around 200 trillion cubic feet of shale gas in its section of the Bowland Shale Group in north-western England, was being courted by some of the industry big boys, including Shell, Statoil and Exxon-Mobil – and Centrica's parent company BG. According to one source, Cuadrilla are already "dotting the i's and crossing the t's on an agreement with an energy major."
So where does the UK shale gas prospect stand exactly in relation to, say, what is happening in the US? Well that's where it ought to get really exciting for the UK generally. In the big Marcellus and Barnett shale plays in the United States the formations are generally about 300 feet thick. In places, the UK shale formation is 6,000 feet thick. Speculation in the industry generally suggests that the overall size of the Bowland Shale alone could be as high as 1,000 trillion cubic feet. Cuadrilla, as yet the only company with a licensed area for drilling, only covers one third to one quarter of it. Of course, much depends on flow rates which require more drilling to clarify the prospective return. But even if just a ten percent recovery rate was achievable from the Bowland Shale (significantly above 20 percent is much more likely) that would yield 20 trillion cubic feet. The entire UK consumption rate in 2011 was just 2.8 trillion cubic feet. No wonder industry anticipation is running high.
And the potential scale of the UK's "vast" shale gas resources is confirmed from a second source. Gordon Pickering's US firm Navigant Consulting was commissioned by the UK Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to assess the country's shale gas potential. Though Pickering refused to give the exact figure that's in his DECC report, he did publicly confirm that not only is the UK's shale gas potential significant – it's scale has the capacity to put European gas prices generally into a steep decline.
All in all, the pressure to resume drilling and fracking in the UK is about to become intense. And, in the face of the UK stealing a serious lead on its European competitors, opposition to shale development in European capitals could well soon crumble. The signs are already there, as the green lobby voices find themselves increasingly isolated. Chevron has been busy accruing license agreements to drill across much of the east of Europe. At the end of January the Romanian Government performed a u-turn and granted exploration licences in the east of the country. In December Germany's Parliament voted down a Green party motion to put a France-style outright ban on fracking. Though some German ministers still appear reluctant to green-light fracking there is also increasing evidence that a raft of Germany's coalition ministers now favour fast-tracking development. Even French opposition to developing its own potentially enormous shale gas reserves could be about to end.
Right now the last thing Brussels politicians, lately buffeted by noises about a UK exit from Europe, want to hear is that the development of the UK's massive reserves could give its 'errant' member state a major continent-wide lead that could see it receiving a significant shot in the economic arm from fossil fuel development. After all, what is Europe's alternative? European energy policy is caught between a rock (reliance on Russian imports) and a hard place (growing Arab and Islamic unrest from North Africa's energy suppliers – from where the EU had hoped to be freed of its Russian dependency).
As UK shale gas evangelist Nick Grealy points out, "Europe may yet wake up to the reality that if they want energy, to depend on Russia, North Africa, the Middle East members or even US LNG imports when a large part of the solution to energy security is under both our noses and our feet, is not only economically unwise and morally dubious but, simply, as the greens would put it "unsustainable energy". But next month's BGS report and the probable publication of stratospheric figures for gas 'gold' beneath Britain's 'green and pleasant land' it is likely to contain, is highly likely to prove the accelerant to that finally ignites a 'dash for shale gas' on this side of the Atlantic.
A 'dash' that, by the way, will finally see the anti-intellectual 'no fracking' claims of the green lobbies trampled in the rush.

It was just a matter of time. A teenage criminal who kidnapped a businessman and then tried to kill pursuing police with his AK-47, is using a unique defense that I or you could have predicted long ago. The teenager's attorney said he should be spared extreme punishment because his parents did not adequately supervise him as a youth.
So there you have it. Kill, maim, kidnap, rob, etc. and blame it on your parents who failed to "adequately supervise" your formative years.
Where in the hell has personal responsibility evaporated? How can any criminal defendant and his hired mouthpiece point the finger of blame at anyone and everyone but the one who committed the crime? This is insanity people. Pure and simple.
Antonio Nunez was just 14 when he and an accomplice kidnapped a businessman and then fired multiple shots at police in their getaway. A jury sentenced Nunez to life in prison for attempted murder of a police officer, assault, evading, street terrorism and committing crimes for the benefit of a street gang. Let's just assume for argument's sake that Nunez was not a poster child for an exemplary youth. He was a street thug, gangster and headed to prison eventually. In his case, eventually arrived when he was 14. But a person firing at police with an AK-47 is a criminal regardless of their age.
So his parents probably were equally upstanding citizens. Who really cares. Nunez, regardless of his age, fully understood the seriousness of his crime. To argue otherwise is to lie in the face of the facts.
Defense attorney Joel Garson tried to tell the jury that Nunez's criminal past was really "very minor" and that the traumatic life he led was to blame for his outrage on that particular day in his life. Well Mr. Garson tell your phony excuses to someone who cares. I don't.
Granted, a young boy sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole is a tragedy on all levels. But were his aim a bit better, you could have explained his "traumatic life" to the survivors of the policemen's families that he was trying to kill. I'm sick and tired of this blameless society that is the creation of the legal community and the thugs who clog our court system. Hooray for a jury who saw through that rhetoric and put in prison someone who truly deserves to be there.
