An autistic man survived in the desert for three weeks on a diet of frogs and roots, US authorities have said.
William Martin LaFever was discovered wandering in the Escalante Desert of southern Utah.
He had been missing for three weeks after attempting to walk from Boulder, Utah, to Page, Arizona - a distance of around 90 miles.
The 28-year-old, from Colorado Springs, told rescuers he survived by drinking water from the Escalante River and on whatever meagre food he was able to scavenge.
When rescuers found LaFever he was severely emaciated, and search and rescue workers said that he would not have survived another 24 hours.
It is thought that LaFever had travelled around 40 miles over at least three weeks according to estimates by the Garfield County Sheriff's Department.
Sheriff's spokeswoman Becki Bronson said: "It is some of the most rugged, unforgiving terrain you will find anywhere on Earth, jagged cliffs, stone ledges, sandstone, sagebrush, juniper."
"Where William was hiking, there just isn't anyone out there," she said. "There are no people. There are no towns."
Following a search and rescue operation LaFever was taken to a local hospital by helicopter.
His current condition is unknown.
Search and rescue workers said it was remarkable that LaFever was spotted and rescued.
Mr LaFever had called his father on June 6 or 7 to inform his that he was hiking in the Boulder area with his dog, but that some of his hiking equipment had been stolen and he had run out of money.
His father had told him to hitch a lift to Page where he would send him some money.
However, LaFever decided to attempt to walk the 90 mile journey instead.
On the journey his dog abandoned him and LaFever began dumping his hiking gear until all he had remaining was the clothes he was wearing when he was found. The dog has not been seen since.
The phone call back in early June was the last time that any of the family members heard from LaFever. His sister reported him missing on Monday.
Deputy Ray Gardner, who took part in the operation to rescue Mr LaFever had fortuitously recently undergone a training course in search and rescue operations for people with autism.
The training had taught Gardner that autistic people are often naturally drawn to water.
The helicopter therefore focused on the Escalante River, where Mr LaFever was eventually spotted.

Whether it's Silicon Valley or a New York yogurt factory, the vitality and energy immigrants bring to the U.S. economy are tremendous assets.
Many, especially in the tech world, are familiar with the contributions of immigrants to high-tech business in the United States -- according to some estimates, some 40 percent of NASDAQ-listed tech firms were founded by people not born in the United States. But a fascinating and inspiring article recently appearing in the Financial Times of London about Hamdi Ulukaya, the Turkish immigrant who brought Greek-style yogurt to America, reminds us that these contributions to our country are not limited to the high-tech sphere.
Ulukaya came to the United States in 1994 to study English, started working on a farm in upstate New York, and in 2002 opened a small plant making a Turkish-style cheese. He started his yogurt company, Chobani, in 2007 when he bought a yogurt plant that had been shut down by Kraft Food. His idea was to bring a more-natural, less-sugared yogurt onto the market. (And it's worth noting that he got a $1 million loan from the Small Business Administration to buy the plant.)
Several years later, Chobani yoghurt sells a billion dollars a year of product, and the company employs 2,000 people. It all started by getting one supermarket on Long Island to sell his yogurt.
There is an important message here, which seems to be becoming more and more accepted in political debate: Immigrants are a source of amazing vitality and energy in the U.S. economy. We should be lucky they want to come here.
With the sad news coming from my hometown of Boston this week, Ulukaya's story is something to cheer us up about the human spirit and about the United States.
(By the way, I'd like to thank all the friends, former students, and others who contacted me either on Facebook or by email to express sympathies for our loss here in Boston.)

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
I agree that a lot of wonderful things come to us through immigrants. The example given is a contribution produced by a "legal" immigrant. I hope the author is not subliminally suggesting this as an argument for approval of undocumented (formally illegal) immigration or that undocumented immigrants be provided with million dollar small business loans.
An interesting new worldwide book/ebook that helps explain the role, struggles, and contributions of immigrants and minorities is "What Foreigners Need To Know About America From A To Z: How to understand crazy American culture, people, government, business, language and more." It paints a revealing picture of America for those who will benefit from a better understanding. Endorsed by ambassadors, educators, and editors, it also informs those who want to learn more about the last remaining superpower and how we compare to other nations on many issues.
As the book points out, immigrants and minorities are a major force in America, as Mr. Romney and the GOP recently discovered. Immigrants and the children they bear account for 60 percent of our nation's population growth and own 11 percent of US businesses and are 60 percent more likely to start a new business than native-born Americans. They represent 17 percent of all new business owners (in some states more than 30 percent). Foreign-born business owners generate nearly one-quarter of all business income in California and nearly one-fifth in New York, Florida, and New Jersey.
Legal immigrants number 850,000 each year; undocumented immigrant numbers are now dropping from half that number a few years ago. They come to improve their lives and create a foundation of success for their children to build upon, as did the author's grandparents when they landed at Ellis Island in 1899 after losing 2 children to disease on a cramped cattle car-like sailing from Europe to the Land of Opportunity. Many bring skills and a willingness to work hard to make their dreams a reality, something our founders did four hundred years ago. In describing America, chapter after chapter chronicles "foreigners" who became successful in the US and contributed to our society. However, most struggle in their efforts and need guidance in Anytown, USA. Perhaps intelligent immigration reform, White House/Congress and business/labor cooperation, concerned citizens and books like this can extend a helping hand, the same unwavering hand that has been the anchor and lighthouse of American values for four hundred years.
Here's a closing quote from the book's Intro: "With all of our cultural differences though, you'll be surprised to learn how much our countries—and we as human beings—have in common on this little third rock from the sun. After all, the song played at our Disneyland parks around the world is 'It's A Small World After All.' Peace." www.AmericaAtoZ.com

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I contacted Inforetrieval on January 3rd and asked for the company to no longer pursue data retrieval on the drive that I had given to Inforetrieval.com
When I initially sought them out for business, I was very careful with my questioning about their services and what I would be obligated to pay for services. You can see from beginning of my inquiry, that I sought the free evaluation of the drive. At the time I heard back from the rep about the next step, he told me "299.00 to cover parts and initial data recovery procedures" but it did not obligate me to pay anything more. In fact, the only thing I agreed to was this. I was told by the rep and by the woman that I gave the drive to in Rosemont, Illinois that I was only obligated to pay the 299 and if was up to me after that if I wanted to pay the remaining balance to have the data recovered for me. [continued below]....
I received an email on Thursday morning, January 2, 2014, stating that you had received the parts that were ordered and that the data retrieval process would begin and I would hear in the next 1-4 business days about the status of my drive. I also want to point out that I chose a retrieval effort that would where work would not be done outside of business hours or on weekends. This continues to limit the amount of work that would have been done to retrieve the data.
It was at this point that I attempted to contact Inforetrieval first via the Internet portal and then via the phone my rep to ask that the process be discontinued. My wife and I made a decision to not waste anyone's time by going any further in the process. I realize I am out the 299 for the parts and initial retrieval steps. However, I felt it was very early and that this would be a reasonable request.
The rep did not agree with my request stating they "were well into the process and that I was obligated to pay the full amount at this point."
Let me point out a couple of things to support my request:
- The first page of the signed agreement states very clearly in bold letters at the top of the page: "Non-deductible Down Payment". To me, that is a down payment and if I walk away, I am out the down payment. It is not stated as a bill for services in full.
- The agreement for the amount of 1845.00 (minus the 299) would only be due, as discussed with my rep on the phone and the woman who took the drive in Rosemont, Illinois, upon my signed agreement. At this point, I have not signed to agree to such amount.
- The clause in your contract allows for me to pay nothing if any single file that I need is not retrieved.
It is clear to me that there are some deceptive practices and consumer fraud being attempted by this company, it's rep, and the woman at the Rosemont, Illinois office who took my drive. I asked many clear questions, was told one thing, and now am being told something that is quite to the contrary.
I have asked very simply for two straight days for the data recovery to be stopped. I realize that I am out the 299, which I fully understand and accept. However, it a reasonable solution cannot be reached, I will be forced to file a complaint with the Illinois Attorney General for these deceptive practices.
Again, I simply request that the data recovery efforts be ceased and no additional costs other than the initial 299 I agreed to be billed so that no more time is wasted by your company.

So after my email exchange, I get an email with a fedex confirmation tracking number. FROM CANADA. So my drive was sent from Rosemont, Illinois to Canada. SO much for working on the data recovery in their Chicago office. Special software? I think not. The drive was shipped back to me from a company called "Anton's Data Recovery". Guess what? This is another shell under the parent company.

Racism links to Aussie car flags
- From: PerthNow
- January 24, 2012
- Survey shows Aussie flags on cars could symbolise racism
- 43 per cent of flag-flyers agreed with White Australia ideal
- 'A racist or exclusionary type of patriotism'
DRIVERS who fly Australian flags on their cars to celebrate Australia Day are "more racist" than people who do not, according to research from UWA.
University of Western Australia sociologist and anthropologist Professor Farida Fozdar and a team of assistants surveyed 513 people at the Australia Day fireworks on Perth's Swan River foreshore last year to find out whether there was a link between car flag flying and racist attitudes, Perth Now reports.
Professor Fozdar said the team found that of the 102 people surveyed on the day who had attached flags to their cars for the national holiday, 43 per cent agreed with the statement that the now-abandoned "White Australia Policy" had "saved Australia from many problems experienced by other countries".
She said that only 25 per cent of people who did not fly Australia car flags agreed with the statement.
Under the "White Australia Policy", which was non-official government policy until after World War II, non-Europeans were barred from migrating to Australia.
The survey also found that a total of 56 per cent of people with car flags feared for Australian culture and believed that the country's most important values were in danger, compared with 34 per cent of non-flag flyers.
Thirty-five per cent of flag flyers felt that people had to be born in Australia to be truly Australian, compared with 22 per cent of non-flag flyers. Twenty-three per cent of flag flyers believed that true Australians had to be Christian, while 18 per cent of non-flaggers agreed with the statement.
An overwhelming 91 per cent of people with car flags agreed that people who move to Australia should adopt Australian values, compared with 76 per cent of non-flaggers.
A total of 55 per cent of flaggers believed migrants should leave their old ways behind, compared with 30 per cent of non-flaggers.
"What I found interesting is that many people didn't really have much to say about why they chose to fly car flags or not," Professor Fozdar said.
"Many felt strongly patriotic about it - and for some, this was quite a racist or exclusionary type of patriotism - but it wasn't a particularly conscious thing for many."
The research backs up an opinion piece from PhD student Michael Britton, who has lectured in history and politics at Curtin University and Notre Dame University, which argues that flying an Australian flag on a car may actually be a sign of disrespect for the country.

I cant believe people get so worked up when it is implied they may be racist.The article didnt say if you display an Australian flag you are racist,it merely said that racist elements are over represented in this particular sample. Many racist Australians do use the flag as a "vehicle" for their warped beliefs. Its in every Australians interests to stamp out racism because there is not one race that is immune from its destruction, even white blokes such as myself.
Australia Day :) of SA Posted at 1:41 PM January 24, 2012
Of the 102 people surveyed... What a joke, what a way to generalise!! If you think we are wrong with flying the Aussie flag, take a look at Americans and how they fly their flag. It's about loving your country and being patriotic. JC of Melb I don't know what you're on about!! Although I'm guessing that soon flying the Aussie flag (I personally don't do it but each to their own), along with celebrating Christmas and Easter will be made illegal due to the minority!!
OA of Ellenbrook Posted at 1:40 PM January 24, 2012
There is probably some truth about this research. I am sure many have flags on their car for love of their country and that is something i deeply respect. However, one can feel that some use the flag display a fanatic & protective attitude ...and that's to me is negative to our society. Rather than being at every criticism our society, we should try to understand its evolution. One thing is sure, with or without migrants, all societies have faced large changes over the years and while our is certainly changing, it's important to be open-minded and understand those factors to make it better. So well done to that research.

I use the teething gel for my toddler when she is cutting teeth. It is a lifesaver. When she's in a lot of pain she won't eat. This gel allows her mouth to be numb enough that she can eat comfortably. It also appears to taste okay to her so she's willing to let me put it in her mouth.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. (AP) -- A Hudson Valley man has been sentenced to 44 years to life in state prison for killing a 67-year-old woman whose body was found in her home on Thanksgiving Day 2012.
The Poughkeepsie Journal reports that a judge called 37-year-old Justin Curran "a whirlwind of terror" during his sentencing Wednesday. Curran was sentenced for more than a dozen felony convictions, including second-degree murder and assault.
Curran was convicted last year of murdering Laurie Ferguson inside her mobile home in the town of Hyde Park. Her son found her body on Thanksgiving Day when she didn't show up for a holiday lunch.
Authorities say Curran didn't know Ferguson, a grandmother of six.
Curran's lawyer said he was addicted to opiate painkillers at the time of the killing

Tracking and managing members (People, Leads or Organisations) that are being targeted by a specific Marketing Campaign can be extremely time consuming and complicated. Creating the list of members, understanding their status in respect of the Campaign and carrying out follow-up Activities can be a costly process and therefore efficient management of this will help improve anticipated ROI.
Within Workbooks it is very straightforward to identify members for a Campaign using the reporting mechanism and to associate them with a Campaign. Members can be associated with a Campaign one at a time, either from the Campaign screen using the Members tab or directly from within the Lead, Person or Organisation record using the Campaigns tab. If you want to associate members en masse, i.e. from a report, you need to do this from the Members tab in the Campaign screen.
Open the required Campaign, select the Members tab, and click the Add button. You'll be presented with a choice of adding a member one at a time using the Add People, Add Organisations or Add Leads options, or adding members en masse using the Add Members Selected from Report, Add members from a Mailing List or Add members from a Marketing Campaign options. NOTE: Only reports based on People, Organisations or Leads can be used.
When adding members from Marketing Campaigns, Mailing Lists and Reports, you can tick the checkbox called Update Status, to update the existing member campaign status to the selected status of the current campaign. You can also find this Update Status checkbox in the search window when adding individual members to a Marketing Campaign.
Creating a membership report can be done using the standard Workbooks reporting mechanism and once saved it will be available for selection from within the campaign membership module.
A member of a Campaign will always be assigned a Membership Status specific to that Campaign. This can be used to record the member's response to the Campaign communications or perhaps to record that they've accepted or declined an invitation. The list of possible statuses for a given Campaign is set up in the Member Status tab by clicking Add Status. To change the status of a member, click the member status in the Members tab and amend accordingly.
You can also add custom fields to the members, to enable better segmentation and categorisation for your Marketing activities. These fields can be set up through the Configuration menu, after which they can be edited within the campaign by clicking on the Member Status value, and selecting desired Membership Status in the Window that opens.
You can select and edit the relevant custom fields that you have added in here, which allow you to record more specific data that is relevant to the member for this Campaign, such as the Media Formats that the member is interested in, in the example below
After creating these fields, they can then be added as columns in the Members View, which you can use to either filter against, or sort by depending on your requirements
You do not need to individually update the Member details, since these fields can be modified and filled in through the use of a Bulk Update.
You can make the Assigned To column visible and apply a filter to this, which makes it easy for the relevant user(s) to focus on following-up with the accounts that they 'own'. The follow-up activities of a Campaign could be a telephone call, a personal email, a meeting or potentially a follow-up email as part of an email Campaign. All of these activities can be managed from the Campaign itself. A Mail Shot can be sent from within the Mail Shots tab.

Now they say I owe for this movie from 3 yrs ago. It seems like they are just sending out letters to everyone, just trying to get people to pay a dept they don't owe and holding your good credit as hostage. This is clearly a scam. I will be writing a letter to this company demanding they take my name off this list and I will be checking my credit report to make sure they don't report this. Otherwise I will file a formal complaint.
Why aren't the Attorney generals office and Federal Trade Com. going after these people? Looks like many people are getting these letters. Enough is enough!

Amazing hypoallergenic and carcinogen free dishwashing liquid. Love it.
Posted by Leione on Apr 14, 2014
Something I've been looking for for a long time. I love that this hypoallergenic dishwashing liquid is free of 1,4-dioxane and ethylene oxide, known carcinogenic contaminants found in so many mainstream household products, and doesn't contain benzisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone (so common in other dishwashing liquids and laundry detergents) or other toxicants, allergens, irritants, dangerous synthetic additives, preservatives, fragrances or colorants. It has a neutral, barely noticeable smell, lathers and rinses well, cleans perfectly, cuts through grease with ease, leaves no residue, lasts a long time and doesn't irritate my sensitive hands. Definitely my favorite.

Welcome to the New Hampshire Minimum Continuing Legal Education Attorney Reporting Tool (ART)!
The 'Attorney Reporting Tool' or 'ART' was designed for New Hampshire lawyers to use to comply with NH Supreme Court Rule 53-NHMCLE.
New to ART? Click here to learn all about it!
Deadline for NHMCLE Compliance is July 1, 2016 (NHMCLE 2015-2016 reporting year).
Meet credit minimums and file the Affidavit of Compliance by midnight, July 31, 2016. Late fees will be assessed on August 1, 2016 and September 1, 2016.
Prior ART History
The "My Record" page on ART, www.nhmcle.org, has a feature: a "Reporting Year Display Box" near the member's name. My Record page now opens to the current 2015-2016 reporting year (July 1, 2015 –June 30, 2016). To view the prior reporting year, go to the "reporting year display box" and select 2014-2015.
NHMCLE Tip: Navigating ART
Not sure whether you have completed all the necessary credits for the NHMCLE reporting year that ended June 30? The Attorney Reporting Tool (ART) shows existing credit shortages in two locations.
First, the bottom section of the 2015-2016 My Record page has a "Totals" section that shows accrued minutes in each requirement category. Second, the ART toolbar contains an "Affidavit" tab. If shortages exist, that tab lists the shortages for each category. If minimums are met, the Affidavit of Compliance will appear. Members can complete, attest and submit the online Affidavit.
Complete a qualified activity (an online program or webcast, for example) and report it on ART. Once the minimum number of credit minutes has been reported for the July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016 reporting year, the 2015-2016 My Record page will, on June 1, 2016, show an active "File Affidavit" button. Follow the steps from there to file the online Affidavit of Compliance. To avoid late fees, the affidavit must be filed and the payment must be processed and cleared before midnight July 31, 2016.

Galileo's Universe
Published: November 21, 1999
(Page 2 of 3)
An astronomer on the Padua faculty gave me a city map marking the place where Galileo had resided during those glory days -- and the separate house where Marina had dwelt apart with their son and two daughters.
A few blocks from the sprawling Byzantine Basilica of St. Anthony, Galileo's Padua home stands unobtrusively on a street named in his honor. There is some current question as to which of the grandly proportioned white stucco houses actually accommodated him and his retinue of student boarders -- either the one bearing the all-but-illegible historical marker, or another up the street. No matter. All the buildings are occupied and well kept, with flowers in the window boxes. And it's enough for me to know that somewhere on this quiet, residential block, a man set a telescope in a backyard garden and changed humanity's perception of the universe forever.
To reach Marina, Galileo would have turned right out his front door, walked to the end of the Via Vignali (as Via Galileo Galilei was then called), turned right again at the corner and continued straight on, over the small bridge with the wrought-iron railings, to her quarters on the Ponte Corvo -- only five minutes by my watch. Marina's house no longer exists, or at least no one in the neighborhood claims to own it.
On one of his most productive trips to Venice, Galileo led a contingent of government officials to the summit of the campanile in the Piazza San Marco. The current campanile is a 20th-century model, built to replace the original after its collapse, but the view from the top (now reached by elevator) enabled me to picture the primal scene in which Galileo demonstrated the telescope's military advantage for a naval power.
If the old senators wheezed their way up the tower steps, they gladly surrendered their breath again to the sight that rewarded them there -- not just the glorious panorama of the waterways and islands of Venice, but also a newly extended vista that enlarged the distant horizon, where their aided eyes could spot enemy ships some two hours ahead of the keenest-sighted young lookouts.
In 1609, in grateful recompense for the gift of Galileo's telescope, the Serene Republic of Venice granted him tenure at the University of Padua at a greatly increased salary. A few months later, however, when Galileo turned his telescope to the sky and discovered new stars in the heavens, he procured an even more desirable position at the Florentine court of Grand Duke Cosimo de' Medici. This coup allowed Galileo to return to his native Tuscany. When he moved to Florence in 1610, he left Marina behind to marry another man, but he took the children with him.
On the way down and over the Apennines en route to Florence, I thought of Galileo riding there in the company of his middle child, 9-year-old Livia (the other two traveled at different times), and wondered how they managed to cover the arduous terrain. Although Galileo never left Italy, he traveled around the country quite a lot for a man of indifferent health, and once made a pilgrimage all the way from Florence to Loreto, near Ancona on the Adriatic coast, to worship at the shrine of the Casa Santa, or house of the Virgin Mary. Of course I had to go there, too, and see for myself how Mary's diminutive stone home, reputedly flown from Nazareth to its present site on the wings of angels in 1294, had been encased in ornate marble panels, set inside a fortresslike basilica constructed over the course of the 15th and 16th centuries.
The fact of Galileo's Catholicism surprises people familiar with his mythologized persona: Galileo, the voice of pure scientific reason, defying the Roman Church and the Inquisition by insisting, of the earth, ''E pur, si muove!'' (''But still it moves!'')
The real Galileo may or may not have uttered these oft-quoted words at his trial, yet none of his discoveries in astronomy ever shook his own religious faith or made him question the truth of the Bible. I began to realize this about him the moment I learned that Galileo had maintained an intimate, lifelong correspondence with his elder daughter, Virginia, after she became a cloistered nun and took the name Maria Celeste. This discovery launched my book project, leading me to translate her letters into English and retell Galileo's story through her eyes.
To obtain permission to see the letters Galileo had saved from his daughter, I wrote far in advance to the director of Florence's National Central Library, where the originals are kept, and got a reply honoring my request. But a well-crafted letter of sponsorship from a friendly adviser at Harvard -- complete with dime-store seal and ribbon -- ushered me immediately into the library's rare manuscript room. I had brought white cotton gloves for handling the treasured artifacts, but the August heat inside the library gave me pause. I looked around at the other patrons, one of whom was paging through a medieval illuminated Bible, to see that no one was wearing any sort of protective gear. I put the gloves away. And when I returned the following January for another session of study, I had already grown accustomed to the thrill of fingering the fine old letter paper.

Do wrong Lyrics by Twista
Do wrong by Twista
Man dawg, it's some bad b**ches out here that'll ("make you do wrong")
Whoa... go on girl ("make you do wrong")
I know everybody gotta feel this
Yeah you got somebody at home
but this bad motherf**ker right here gon' ("make you do wrong")
I could tell when I dropped the top
I nippled off on the block, I was gon' get into some bullsh*t
That's the reason why I watch for cops
And keep me two baby glocks, both of 'em loaded with a full clip
Still I gotta be on a mission for paper
But later on I'ma be hangin out with everybody
Never knew I shoulda been scared of the hottie
I got up with later on at the R. Kelly party
So I pull up the club in the Coupe
Look at how them jeans huggin the boots
Saw me ippy uppy icy as hell, f'rilla good smell
Have you ever seen a thug in a suit? Jackin b**ches up
Socializin with everybody flirtin with girls but got plans to go home
'Til I felt the way you was backin up on the thang
Gettin down on the flo' I could see the top of the thong
She a (bad muh'f**ker) she could bass a deuce
A fine-ass Medusa make your dick turn to stone
Take a look at the thong, get in the zone, took a shot of Patron
And I was gone, she a (bad muh'f**ker)
Take a look at them hips, and how she lickin them lips
Like she was lickin ice cream
Ballin with a bad b**ch that ain't yours on the scene
Listenin to some Al Green might ("make you do wrong")
[Chorus 2X: Twista] + {Lil' Kim}
That's a girl that you shouldn'ta f**ked with
But she so seductive, got a nigga head gone
Now you know it ain't right, got a girl at home
But tonight she the type that'll ("make you do wrong")
{This nigga that you shouldn'ta f**ked with}
{But he so seductive, had a b**ch head gone}
{Now you know it ain't right, got a man at home}
{But tonight he the type that'll} ("make you do wrong")
[Lil' Kim]
I got the champagne and popped the top
And then unlocked the lock, the Queen 'bout to get her bang on
I don't know what I'ma tell my dawg
When he look up and realize that a b**ch ain't came home
sh*t, he about to be rockin it
Lookin sweeter than chocolate, he got the smell of a Reese's
Break a fella to pieces, it's a hell of a thesis
Adjustin his body with telekenesis
Got on top and then he knocked me off, until he was soft
Got in the car and dropped him off
Tryin to sink down as low as I can up in my seat
Cause I'm rollin in the Hummer and the top was off
My guy sleepin anyway and that's whassup
But I'm paranoid, drivin fast as f**k
Thinkin 'bout what I did, I try to sneak in the crib
Here come my man in the front, askin me what ("make you do wrong")
I don't know what you talkin 'bout
Baby whyon'tcha go on back to sleep
I was at the police station, when you hangin in the club
wit'cha boys gettin drunk 20 deep it'll ("make you do wrong")
[Lil' Kim]
If you got up with a ho
Shoulda told the b**ch use another douche
If you was at the police station, shoulda smelled like heist
But you comin in smellin like puss what'll ("make you do wrong")
Well I couldn't resist
Cause she was thick as hell and so cute
Steady comin at me, she was throwin it all on me
And I couldn't leave, she had a big dookie shoot, it'll ("make you do wrong")
[Lil' Kim]
Well I know what you talkin about
So we can do it like this
I'ma go and ride, you can do what you do
Cause I done met another brother with some bomb-ass .. it'll ("make you do wrong")

Patients with bipolar disorder (BD) have difficulty in recognizing and discriminating facial emotions. However, beyond this broad finding, existing literature is equivocal about the specific nature of impairments, and progress toward adequately profiling facial emotion processing in BD is hampered by methodological inconsistencies. The current study aimed to advance the literature by comparing 50 BD patients and 52 controls on a series of facial emotion processing tasks. Results indicated that patients with BD had a small, yet consistent impairment in emotion processing overall. This impairment did not vary as a function of specific emotions, tasks, or intensities between groups, and was not influenced by current mood state. These results suggest that past inconsistencies in the literature are unlikely to be attributable to task related artifacts influencing the estimation of an effect. These findings add to our understanding of social cognition in BD, and have important implications for clinicians treating patients with the disorder. (JINS, 2014, 20, 1–9)

"One nighter on the way to Airport" Gurgaon by Hexepatty
Gurgaon Travel Guide: 27 reviews and 59 photos
I was part of a small travel group to India and our departure out of the country was through Dehli's international airport. Our flight departed at 3am. As such, the tour operator put us up in Gurgaon for one part of a night. We arrived at the Crowne Plaza at 3pm and departed at 11pm. Just enough time to repack, shower, relax, have a bite and then get on the road home.
My friend and I also decided to take a stroll since RelianceMart was just across the way. So was a McDonald's and a Pizza Hut among other restaurants.
Gurgaon was interesting. Lots of new buildings with quite a few companies from the US are represented there. (Convergys to name a few...)
I can't imagine what this town will look like in a few years.
Keep in mind it's a great place to stay if you are leaving from the airport at an Ungodly hour!
- Pros:Good access to Airport with little traffic (depending on arrival)
- Cons:Not typical of City or Country. Simply Corporate looking
- In a nutshell:Convenience to airport
Reviews (1)
We were just there for a part of a night since our flight left at 3am. Very new, modern, clean, attractive hotel and... more travel advice

Potential Big Ten Hockey Conference Could Cause Gophers, Badgers to Leave WCHA
A major shakeup to Western Collegiate Hockey Association might be just around the corner with the rumors of a Big Ten Hockey Conference pending on Penn State adding varsity hockey. St. Cloud State could see rivals and big name programs in Minnesota and Wisconsin jump ship to a Big Ten Hockey Conference if one is formed.
The league is contingent on Penn State adding hockey, because with the Nittany Lions, six schools who participate in Big Ten athletics in other sports would have hockey. This is the minimum number required to have a conference and earn an automatic NCAA tournament bid. Penn State's announcement of adding hockey could come as early as Wednesday, reports say.
If the Big Ten conference is formed, the CCHA would also lose multiple big name programs in Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State to the new league.
Losing the Golden Gophers and Badgers would be big losses for the WCHA, but in a report in the St. Cloud Times, Gopher coach Don Lucia was quoted as saying Minnesota would still be interested in scheduling long time opponents like St. Cloud State even if the Gophers were to jump to the Big Ten.
KVSC will follow this story as it breaks. For the latest updates, follow our Hockey Twitter, at www.twitter.com/KVSCHockey.

Thursday July 3, 2008
NEW YORK (AP) -- Brian McNamee is asking a federal
court to dismiss Roger Clemens' defamation lawsuit or move the case
to New York.
The seven-time Cy Young Award winner sued McNamee in January
after his former trainer accused him in the Mitchell Report of
using steroids and human growth hormone. The case originally was
filed in Texas state court and was shifted in February to the U.S.
District Court in Houston.
McNamee's lawyers first tried to dismiss the case in early
March. When Clemens' lawyers responded on May 27th, they added a
new claim of "intentional infliction of emotional distress" and
two additional claims of defamation. In their latest filing, McNamee's lawyers say New York has the most interest in this lawsuit and that many of the potential witnesses reside there. McNamee claims no defamation took place and that it would be a burden for him to defend the case in Texas.

The Queens Democratic Party is actively courting John Liu to run against state Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside), who recently bolted from the Democratic Party to join the Independent Democratic Conference.
U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley (D-Jackson Heights), who heads the Queens Democratic Party, said he has been in discussions with Liu over the last few weeks about Avella's district.
"If he decided to run against Sen. Avella, I would support that and the Queens Democratic Party would support that wholeheartedly," he said.
Crowley said there are also other possible candidates being considered to run against Avella, but did not identify them.
It would be the first time two-term Avella would face a primary challenge while running for his Senate district. The Democratic Party pumped more than $200,000 into his 2010 campaign against Republican Frank Padavan, a move party officials say they now regret.
"The Democratic Party put a tremendous amount of resources into his race to defeat Frank Padavan, only to find out Tony Avella was Frank Padavan in sheep's clothing," said Michael Reich, the executive secretary for the Queens Democratic Party.
Avella joined the IDC saying he was fed up with being in the minority in the GOP-controlled state Senate and wanted to be able to get legislation passed. He has also recently cited an increase in discretionary funding for his district as a reason why he joined the IDC.
"What Mr. Avella has done is empower the Republican Party," Crowley said. "There's no argument he can make to me to justify what he's done."
Speculation has recently swirled as to whether Liu would run for office again after he continued to hold a busy public schedule after he lost his bid to become mayor last fall.
"If you look at John's public schedule after he lost, you wouldn't think he lost," said Doug Muzzio, a political science professor at Baruch College.
Despite an investigation into his office's campaign finance practices that ended in the criminal convictions of two campaign workers and derailed his mayoral bid, Muzzio said Liu has the fund-raising chops as well as the experience of running in a citywide race in his favor.
"If Liu runs, he's going to be tough to beat," Muzzio said. "He's just totally tireless and has proven he can raise a huge amount of money."
Avella, who is popular in his district, will have Sen. Jeffrey Klein's IDC fund-raising machine behind him, which has also proven successful at raising large amounts of campaign funds in previous election cycles.
The 11th District includes College Point, Whitestone, Bayside and parts of Flushing, Douglaston and Hollis Hills. Part of Liu's old City Council district is in Avella's district, which contains a sizable Asian community, where the former city comptroller's fund-raising base is.
Of eligible voters in the district, 26.1 percent are Asian, according to state redistricting maps.
"On the demographic level, his money and base support are going to come out of the Asian community, but in previous elections he's proven he can extend well beyond that," Muzzio said of Liu.

Micro aggressive? Step outside and I'll show you micro aggressive
Published 25/02/2014 | 02:30
I know this column is sometimes accused of looking for the wildest, wackiest, most demented examples of political correctness gone maaaad (a phrase that must only ever be spoken aloud while speaking in a cockney accent, for some reason).
Even being seen to point out the essential absurdities of this ridiculous system is enough to have the mobilised masses of the sensitivity industry rushing to accuse any dissenter as being 'insensitive' or 'unhelpful'. Honestly, it's as if we're all supposed to have attended some secret meeting where it was decided what was acceptable and what wasn't.
Well, I'd love to have been at the secret meeting in Canada that recently saw a student forced to make a public apology. His crime? 'Micro-aggression' against black people.
And what in the name of Black Jesus is 'micro-aggression' when it's at home?
It's not, as you might assume, being slightly aggressive. No, 'micro-aggression' is apparently "perpetuating living legacies against different groups".
In this case, the student forwarded an old Jay Leno clip that featured some clever mocked-up footage of an angry Obama kicking a door as he angrily leaves a press conference.
The student – and presumably Leno as well – were guilty of subconsciously "perpetuating the myth" that "young African American males are violent".
So far, so bonkers.
But it transpires that micro-aggression is any act that assumes anything about anybody based on their race, culture, creed, sexuality or gender. Therefore, showing a piece of faked footage of a half-black president kicking a door is, automatically, a slur against all young black men.
This is the kind of flatulent gibberish that the mandarins of the Left use to try to ensure that everybody remains guilty of something, whether they actually are guilty or not. And it's gleefully, proudly, joyously demented and wrong.
And you know what? You've been guilty of micro aggression recently. And the chances are you've also been the victim of it. And you probably didn't even know it.
From my own pint of view, I was the victim of a quite disgusting piece of micro-aggression only yesterday when, as I approached two female colleagues, they stopped talking. This excluded me from the collective and hurt my feelings, making me feel worthless as a human being causing me profound and lasting emotional distress.
As it turned out, they were talking about America's Next Top Model and assumed – correctly – that I wouldn't be interested in discussing the programme. But how dare they make assumptions about me purely on the grounds of a) my gender and b) my sexuality?
As a straight, white man I found it terribly upsetting to be the victim of such profiling.
You see the great thing about micro-aggression is that it is in the eye of the beholder – in other words, if someone chooses to take offence at something, even something complimentary, that you have said, then you are meant to apologise, no matter how ridiculous their grievance may be. It's a bit like saying Italians make good lovers and then being sued by a bloke from Milan who suffers from erectile dysfunction.
But, as brilliantly mental as it all is, this is all showing a quite disgusting lack of ambition. Because I'm already bored with micro aggression.
From now on, I am going to practice only micro, passive-aggression.
As someone who is seldom actually discriminated against on the grounds of my gender, race or the kind of person I like to sleep with, I now feel completely marginalised and isolated from the mainstream conversation about being a victim.
And I saw a joke about the Irish on The Simpsons the other day that shook me to my core.
Now, where's my damn lawyer.
Most of us know at least a few people who don't eat meat, whether for medical, ethical or moral reasons. Or maybe they simply don't like the taste. And, by and large, sensible people on both sides just want to be left alone to make their own choices without being ballyragged.
But then there are those evil butchers. Butchers like JBS in Sudbury, a small market town in the middle of farming country in Suffolk. The town has apparently become one of those places where an influx of 'city folk' has caused some resentment amongst the locals and JBS has been forced to remove their daily displays of fresh meat after receiving anonymous threats from newcomers.
In fact, one father even wrote to his local paper to complain about the: "Mutilated carcasses of dead animals on display... we avoid the entire precinct as we'd rather not look at bloody severed pigs' heads when buying sweets."
Now, you could argue that it's healthier for kids to eat free-range meat than it is to stuff their faces with sweets, but what was interesting was that the complaints came from people who actually eat meat – they just don't like seeing it in its natural state.
Yes, so much better to tell your children that the meat they're having for dinner never ran in a field but was actually grown in a petri dish and then presented to squeamish punters looking like a lump of pink chewing gum wrapped in clingfilm.
Actually, the way food science is going, it won't be long before that's exactly that what they're doing.
And where will that leave the cows?
Unemployed, mate. That's what.
Helen Keller could have predicted that outcome, and Morgan has been quick to point the finger of blame at those nasty gun people who objected to his campaign against the right to bear arms.
Now, as much as we might think America's attitudes towards guns is weird – although not nearly as weird as how they think our attitudes are in return – maybe somebody could have taken young Piers aside and told him that Yanks don't take kindly to Limeys coming over and threatening to take their guns off them.
After all, it didn't work out too well the last time they tried it...
