Monroe man gets life for stabbing teacher to death
A Monroe man has been sentenced to life in prison without parole after being found guilty of stabbing and killing an elementary school teacher in front of her daughter.
Thirty-one-year-old Lamate Sherron Anderson was convicted Thursday after a Union County jury deliberated less than two hours.
Anderson was charged with murder in the 2010 stabbing death of 37-year-old Yolanda Simon. She was a fifth-grade teacher at Polkton/Peachland Elementary School in neighboring Anson County.
Anderson lived across the street from Simon.
Police say Simon's 6-year-old daughter saw the stabbing.
Anderson tried to convince the jury that he was insane at the time of the stabbing.

Teams need fast guys in September. Here's who the contenders should use.
Last year, the best/my favorite transaction of the season came in late August: "Tampa Bay Rays signed free agent CF Freddy Guzman to a minor league contract." Guzman was 32, had most recently appeared in the majors in 2009, had a career OPS+ of 42, and was at the time playing in Mexico, where his teammates included Esteban Loaiza (41 years old), Ruben Rivera (39) and Ruben Mateo (35). I liked this move so much that Ben Lindbergh and I devoted an entire podcast episode to it.

Putting the focus on the focus on Jeter, and other All-Star observations.
One of our writers, Craig Goldstein, had an idea for the All-Star game that we didn't get to, though I thought it had some merit: Which All-Star games have "belonged" to which players? Last year's "belonged" to Mariano Rivera, for instance. Cal Ripken's final game "belonged" to Cal Ripken, and so on. This year's belonged to Derek Jeter like nothing in baseball has ever belonged to anything else. Bud Selig's retirement was limited to a two-question commercial-break interruption. Tony Gwynn's death was not even mentioned, not once. Neither was the death of Ralph Kiner. There was no aside noting that Tim McCarver was enjoying retirement after calling more All-Star games with Joe Buck than any broadcast duo in history. This was all Jeter's.

You've heard (maybe too often) about the Cardinal Way. Here are all the other Ways.
When Mike Matheny bristled at the Brewers' Jonathan Lucroy All-Star promotional video this month, one quickly sensed that the Cardinals' skipper was upset about something deeper than an All-Star roster spot. "Not saying that's surprising," Matheny said. "We've gone through this the last few years, especially last year with the Cardinal Way stuff getting blown way out of proportion. I think it can put a bad taste in a lot of peoples' mouth."

Standard and Poors RatingsXpress Credit Research provides in-depth coverage of international corporates, financial institutions, insurance companies, utilities, sovereigns and structured finance programs. RatingsXpress Credit Research lets users determine the credit rating of holdings and identify key factors underlying an issuer's creditworthiness, distinguishes the different risk exposures for new and existing deals, and provides an understanding of how their analysts interpret key regulatory, political and environmental events and their economic impact.
This product consists of a Summary Analysis: Bi-annual (at least). An abbreviated analysis containing Standard & Poor's issuer credit ratings as of the time the article was published. The analysis includes a rating rationale - the basis on which the rating was assigned - and an outlook section if the issuer is not on CreditWatch. Financial statistics are not included.
The public information rating on PT Bank Lippo Tbk. (Lippo Bank) reflects Indonesia's banking sector inherently high-risk operating environment and its weak asset quality by international standards. Partly offsetting these weaknesses are the bank's improving market position in the domestic market, healthy profits, and the focused business strategy of the new management team put in place by Malaysia's Khazanah Nasional Bhd.

Lippo Bank ranks among the top 10 commercial banks in Indonesia, with an asset size of Indonesian rupiah (IDR) 37,325 billion as at June 2007, and has a nationwide distribution network of 398 offices and 687 ATMs. In October 2005, Lippo Bank underwent a change in ownership when Khazanah, the investment holding arm of the Malaysian government, acquired...

The prospect of Delaware North Companies leaving the Key Center for a new headquarters to be built a few blocks away has some downtown landlords worried about creating more vacancy in a city swamped with it.
But a Delaware North move won't happen in a vacuum. It's part of a growing trend that could be even more troublesome for many of Buffalo's longtime building owners, who will have to invest in updates or risk being left empty when their tenants demand more to keep them happy.
"There are a lot of buildings (whose owners) have not put a dime into anything and then complain," said Robert G. McDonnell, vice president of leasing for Ciminelli Real Estate Corp., one of the area's biggest developers and property managers. "You've got to maintain and keep going forward every year. If you don't, you will fall behind fast."
Delaware North's impending move – which is focused on a desire for more efficient space – is just the latest example of prominent tenants uprooting themselves for shiny new or brightly renovated digs. In recent years:
• Phillips Lytle LLP is next door this month from the former One HSBC Center to One Canalside, formerly the Donovan State Office Building.
• HSBC Bank USA consolidated last month from its namesake tower to the renovated HSBC Atrium across the street and a sprawling facility in Depew. It had previously planned to build a new low-rise facility in front of the First Niagara Center until a corporate upheaval and change in business strategy torpedoed the idea.
• Uniland Development Co. is building a new corporate headquarters and training facility for Catholic Health System on Genesee Street at the foot of the Kensington Expressway in Buffalo. Catholic Health is consolidating offices and staff from multiple locations.
• Law firm Damon Morey LLP took over two floors in the Avant Building in May 2009, after vacating space it occupied for 20 years at Cathedral Place.
• Rival firm Jaeckle Fleischmann & Mugel LLP took two more floors in the Avant in October 2011, after leaving the Bank of America Building at Fountain Plaza.
• HealthNow New York moved out of its longtime base on Main Street near Canisius College in 2007 and into a new 469,000-square-foot corporate headquarters at 257 W. Genesee St., off the I-190 downtown. It's now consolidating within that building, and subleasing part of the building to engineering firm URS Corp.
And that list doesn't include some smaller tenants, as well as ongoing real estate searches for the likes of PriceWaterhouse Coopers and the Internal Revenue Service.
"There seems to be more movement of some of the bigger office tenants, more of a willingness to move," said Peter Marlette, managing partner of Damon Morey, the area's No. 3 law firm. "We certainly have been pleased with the move."
Moving for efficiency
Many of the moves have generated a spate of new construction and redevelopment on the periphery of downtown, leaving empty older space in the city's core.
In the past, developers and companies say, office users tended not to move because of the cost and hassle and there haven't been many better options.
"Historically, there hasn't been an inventory of spec space that provides opportunities for large tenants to move in downtown Buffalo," said David McNamara, managing partner of Phillips Lytle, one of the city's two biggest law firms. "The absence of options tends to cause tenants to stay where they are."
Today, though, tenants have become more demanding, and developers are eager to accommodate them. "I just think there's more opportunities now to move than there really was before," Marlette said. "There are more developers who are building things or proposing building things, or revamping existing buildings."
All of the companies that have moved are aiming to save money in the wake of the recession, and not just through lower rents. Some are seeking more efficient space, with larger floor plates that can accommodate more people per floor. Workers can be more productive because they're not wasting time going up and down stairs and elevators. It's also promotes collaboration.
But the floor size of older buildings can't be changed, leaving new construction or dramatic overhauls as the only options.
Delaware North's plans are a textbook example. Uniland wants to build a 12-story tower and parking garage at 250 Delaware Ave., at Chippewa Street. The new headquarters for Delaware North would occupy 109,000 square feet on upper floors, and a 119-room hotel, operated by Delaware North, would take up four lower floors.
Meanwhile, Delaware North would leave about the same amount of space at Key Center, leaving about 80 percent of the South Tower and about half of the entire twin-tower complex empty.
"The majority of the South Tower will end up going dark in the short run," said Paul Ciminelli, whose firm manages the complex for its New York owner.
And it won't be easy to "back-fill" it. "My sense is they're not going to re-lease that space anytime soon," said Patrick Hotung, general manager of Main Place Liberty Group, owner of Main Place Mall and Tower and the Liberty Building.
Even before Delaware North makes a final decision, the highest quality office space in the central business district - Class A - will be nearly one-fourth vacant by yearend.
And there are few if any opportunities to fill most of it anytime soon, since there aren't many large tenants around that are capable of absorbing it.
"Downtown Buffalo is dead for offices. There is vacancy everywhere," said Carl Paladino, owner and chairman of Ellicott Development Co., the biggest landlord in the city. "I would expect that Key Center is toast."
In a healthy, vibrant market, movements by tenants wouldn't be such a problem, as other tenants would quickly come along to fill the space. But not in downtown Buffalo, where it's almost always the same assortment of tenants occupying the space. "The downtown market is tough," said Ciminelli, CEO of Ciminelli Real Estate. "There isn't a lot of net new growth in terms of the office market."
So when space is emptied here, it tends to stay that way for years and years. That's what's happened with such buildings as Main Place Tower, the Main Court Building, Main Seneca Building and the Liberty Building – each of which are now 25 percent to 40 percent empty.
"Building owners all over the world lure a tenant from one building to the next. The problem with Buffalo is that there isn't really any market to refill that much space," said Anthony Kissling of Kissling Interests, owner of numerous apartment buildings in Buffalo.
Vacancies filter down
By Jan. 1, downtown Buffalo's office vacancy rate will be 22 percent, said Jim Militello, who owns J.R. Militello Realty. That's barely better than Albany (24 percent) and Detroit (23 percent), and much higher than Baltimore (16 percent), Boston (11 percent) and Manhattan (10 percent), according to national brokerage giants Cushman & Wakefield and CBRE.
It's even worse in Buffalo for Class A space, the cream of the crop, with 24.4 percent of all space projected to be empty. And all that empty high-quality space is bound to have a ripple effect down to lesser Class B and C space in older buildings, which become increasingly less competitive.
"You can back fill it, but it'll take some time and you'll do it by killing the rest of the market," said Erwin Zafir, owner of Key Center and the Bank of America Building. "That's the only way to do it."
So the emptiness filters down ultimately to the least appealing buildings, which either sit idle, get sold, or potentially get converted to other uses, such as apartments.
"We have a lot of supply, but a lot of it isn't being kept up," McDonnell said. "The buildings that haven't caught up, now they're playing catch up. They have to put this money in when no rental income is coming in."
So how does a building owner compete? Invest in new mechanical systems, infrastructure, features and amenities, keep it clean, and provide good service, landlords and brokers say. "It's competitive," Zafir said. "You have to keep the building in Class A shape in order to be able to be called Class A."
He and Ciminelli are working to get Key Center LEED-certified as a "green" building, so that it can be attractive for others. The building already has a high-efficiency heating system, and Zafir has made capital improvements on a regular basis.
"We'll try to do whatever it takes to try to save the building," said Zafir.

NASA officials announced Aug. 15 that they have ended attempts to restore the malfunctioning $550 million spacecraft to full working order and are considering new missions after the failure of two of Kepler's four gyroscope-like reaction wheels.
Launched in 2009, Kepler found 134 confirmed extrasolar planets and detected another 3,000 that scientists are attempting to confirm. More secrets are likely held in a deluge of data from Kepler that scientists will sift through in the next three years, said William Borucki, Kepler science principal investigator at NASA's Ames Research Center.
In a conference call with reporters, Borucki said he was "immensely satisfied" with Kepler's efforts, referencing the high quality of the remaining unexamined data. Borucki said he's hopeful there could be an Earth-size planet orbiting a sun-like star in a habitable zone lurking somewhere within the data.
NASA officials said there could be several thousand more planets yet to be revealed -- meaning Kepler's most interesting discoveries could be still to come.
"At the beginning of our mission, no one knew if Earth-size planets were abundant in the galaxy," Borucki said. "If they were rare, we might be alone. Now at the completion of Kepler observations, the data holds the answer to the question that inspired the mission: Are Earths in the habitable zone of stars like our sun common or rare?"
What's next for Kepler?
Although NASA officials were upbeat about future possibilities when announcing that Kepler will never again operate at full capacity, it is decidedly not the outcome they would have liked.
Two reaction wheels failed between July 2012 and May 2013, and months of data analysis and testing while Kepler was in various states of safe-mode ultimately revealed the craft could not be restored to normal capacity.
NASA officials hinted at the telescope's fate in early August by requesting new mission proposals for Kepler, which was set to receive $18 million in fiscal 2013 funding.
Borucki said the agency already has a few new mission ideas, including searching for asteroids, comets and supernovas. Kepler might be able to use a technique called microlensing to detect giant planets around stars in our galaxy, and NASA engineers will continue to evaluate whether Kepler can search for exoplanets using existing equipment.
But until Kepler's current capabilities are fully analyzed, it is impossible to know what practical uses the craft might still possess, Borucki said.
NASA will conduct studies to identify science opportunities for Kepler and determine what modifications will be required to ensure Kepler makes the best use of its functional reaction wheels and thrusters.
Ultimately, NASA wants to begin a repurposed mission within a year.
"We are moving forward to look at what we can do without those two wheels," said Deputy Project Manager Charles Sobeck. "We are going to see what kind of science we can do with it."

The #1 New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist that "breaks new ground for graphic novels" (Francois Mouly, art editor, The New Yorker).
David Small, a best-selling and highly regarded children's book illustrator, comes forward with this unflinching graphic memoir. Remarkable and intensely dramatic, Stitches tells the story of a fourteen-year-old boy who awakes one day from a supposedly harmless operation to discover that he has been transformed into a virtual mutea vocal cord removed, his throat slashed and stitched together like a bloody boot. From horror to hope, Small proceeds to graphically portray an almost unbelievable descent into adolescent hell and the difficult road to physical, emotional, and artistic recovery.

I read this book in under 2 hours and three days later I can't stop thinking about it. What this poor boy went through is more teriifying in it's unfairness alone than any horror comic. I felt shocked and angry that such selfish beings ever exisited and became parents. Mr Small is an amazing writer and artist. I have deep respect for his survival and creativity.
It was a very good book the pictures described a lot but the words described more. Smalls really didnt have the best of luck and it shows things can always get worst but there is always somewhere you can go or something you can do to get away from things. If you have an extra hour and a half of your time you should read this.
I could not put it down. It had the hair the back of neck standing up. I wish I could my writing could be as clear and breath taking. If it is ever made into a movie. I know the rating will be "R" but it will worth it. The main character in the book made me want grab him and take him to my house.
One of the most dramatic books I have read. Such an easy read but very powerful. The pictures tell the story and you would even understand it even without the words. Amazing!
I 'read' page after page on which not a word was written, yet I was gripped by emotion. I was new to the 'graphic' concept in literature so it came as a surprise to me to feel so many feelings...sadness, outrage, puzzlement, contempt, disbelief....as the story unfolded in this graphic memoir. That a family could be so disfunctional brought sadness. That David Small rose above it all to bring us the work that he has produced brought joy. I found that the drawings and brief words used in telling this story controlled the pace with which I read. Sometimes I rushed to read the next panels. Other times I paused to reflect. The drawings did that to me. I commend the author/artist for being able to do that so well to a reader.
short story about david small; stitches This book "sticthes" is really interesting. This book spoke to me as a human being because of all the graphics I thought was very cool. First it looked interesting, that it was going to be a since of weird, but when I first read it, it was pretty good tell I kept going then, it just got creepy. But it had a little mystery about davits parents. That would be the little author writing this book when he was a little boy. This book is funny to; I remember the part where David said he fell in love with Alice. David always thought because of her long blonde hair gave her magic powers to go to a magical place. Such as where plants talk, or cats can talk to, and having a potion to be very small. David Small said he also wanted to go to that magical place, so he put on a long yellow towel and ran outside. But mothers pull there kids away from him, because they thought he was crazy or something. Will the authors purpose of writing this book I would say that he wanted to let the people know what a horrible thing happen to David. David Small when he was little he didn't know his parents gave him cancer. David would tell how his parents acted and he also had a big brother. He said they all had a language of expressing themselves. Will like his mother she would smack the cabinet kitchen door all the time when it was really quite around the house. Then his dad had one to, his dad would come home from work and go down to the basement and punch his punching bag, to try to get over what he had done to his son. Then his brother also had one, his brother would beat his drums really loud. But last David had a language also; his language was getting sick all the time. His dad would give him medicine all the time when he had to stay in bed. One of the major theme in this book was when David found out he has cancer by looking at his moms letters, that she wrote, to her friend. He was in shocked he had that since 14 years old, and right now he is 16 years old. Now he got why his parents where so nice to him in the hospital he had to get surgery in, cause someone told him it was a growth but it wasn't. So David decides to move out at 16 years old and becomes a artist, painting, pictures, also drawing. He also found a motel, but it was all broken down. They had people in it living in there. They were couples and friends living together, in a old house. Another theme is he dreams about weird things, when that happens he wouldn't get to sleep, and he would get a little sick sometimes. Which he thought was weird. The author's attempt of writing this book is because he wanted to tell how you should be good to your parents. That you should listen to what they say. That the parents should also be good to there children, that you should be able to tell them anything. Also that you shouldn't leave when your teens. That you should stay in school and get good grades. You would want to have a successful life. Also you would want to have good parents, which would be there for you. That you should think before you do something. What I learned from this book is you shouldn't leave when you 16 or in your teens. That to obey your parents when they say and you shouldn't lie about anything. That you should be able to tell you kids no matter what it is, it's the best way to get through anything even though there hard. That anything could happen in this world with out you knowing. That you shouldn't give up what your really doin
I did not think much of Gothic Novels until I read this book and I could not put the book down and if you have not tried Gothic Novels - this is the one to read! Reality is sometimes more frightening than the illusions in life. This book is 'chilling' & 'troubling' with a 'dark side' of life in the midst of 'normal' reality. David Small has retold his story in comic theme but is no means to be taken lightly as it is a beautiful new way of telling a hard life story to others. It will be hard for David to top this book as I loved the ending/beginning! Excellent book to add to your/my library collection! Excellent - Thank you David Small!

hair color with no loss of shine
Posted by Jeanne1974 on Apr 11, 2014
I really like this product and this shade is nice for brownettes in summer, to lighten the look a bit.
Great color, mixes well with other shades
Posted by Reviewer2627242 on Apr 18, 2014
I like this gel color. I mix it with 7N to get the shade I need and amount for my hair. Buy a squeeze bottle from the beauty supply to put it in and you apply to your hair. It's easier than a bowl. This product lasts longer than the ones I buy at the store, because I can mix the amount needed for my short hair. Shampoo after coloring since this is a glycol based dye. The 7N is more like a light brown. The 8N is more like a blond.
Husband loves this color
Posted by francesjoan on Dec 01, 2012
He said always buy this shade. I have mostly grey hair and this light blonde does an excellent job. When my roots grows out the light blonde makes it less noticeable. I can go about 9 weeks before I dye it again. I'm happy.
Work as well as the stuff you buy at your local store
Posted by Reviewer2021352 on Aug 17, 2011
My mom buys this brand because a few years back she started noticing hair loss. She went to the dermatologist who prescribed a special shampoo with no positive results. After a while she realized it was her hair dye, the "brand" stuff you buy at your local pharmacy was making her hair fall out. As soon as she switched to Herbatint her hair grew back. She hasn't looked back since.
Great product and company
Posted by Reviewer2537448 on Mar 29, 2009
I've been using Herbatint hair color products for years, and find them greatly superior to other products on the market. The color is more natural, and better for my hair. I like the layout for the product offering from iHerb. Excellent selection and prices, and most of all, they delivered exactly what was promised when promised.

Easy to apply; natural look
Posted by 5751997830014547247 on Oct 06, 2014
Very nice color, easy to apply, gives natural color, I mixed it with 7N.
Good but nothing special
Posted by Reviewer1827642 on May 23, 2011
I wanted to try this since it has no ammonia and low in peroxide and other chemicals and lots of herbs. The smell was really nice and covered the gray well. It was a little scary at first because it started to turn green after about 15 minutes but by the time 30 minutes was up the green was gone. Overall the results were good but I thought the price was a bit high, especially since I had to buy 2 boxes to get a good gray coverage; the other being 8D. If the price was more like half that price I would consider buying it again.

I love it , I had a dark brown hair so it converted to light brown , not like a picture but nice :)

President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief:
Efforts to Align Programs with Partner Countries' HIV/AIDS Strategies and Promote Partner Country Ownership
GAO-10-836: Published: Sep 20, 2010. Publicly Released: Sep 20, 2010.

The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), reauthorized at $48 billion for fiscal years 2009 through 2013, supports HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, and care services overseas. The reauthorizing legislation, as well as other key documents and PEPFAR guidance, endorses the alignment of PEPFAR activities with partner country HIV/AIDS strategies and the promotion of partner country ownership of U.S.-supported HIV/AIDS programs. This report, responding to a legislative directive, (1) examines alignment of PEPFAR programs with partner countries' HIV/AIDS strategies and (2) describes several challenges related to alignment or promotion of country ownership. GAO analyzed PEPFAR planning documents and national strategies for four countries--Cambodia, Malawi, Uganda, and Vietnam--selected to represent factors such as diversity of funding levels and geographic location. GAO also reviewed documents and reports by the U.S. government, research institutions, and international organizations and interviewed PEPFAR officials and other stakeholders in headquarters and the four countries.
PEPFAR activities are generally aligned with partner countries' national HIV/AIDS strategies. GAO's analysis of PEPFAR planning documents and national HIV/AIDS strategies, as well as discussions with PEPFAR officials in the four countries GAO visited, showed overall alignment between PEPFAR activities and the national strategy goals. In addition, statements by global and country-level PEPFAR stakeholders indicate that PEPFAR activities support the achievement of partner countries' national strategy goals. PEPFAR officials noted that a number of factors may influence the degree to which PEPFAR activities align with national strategy goals, including the activities of other donors, the size of the PEPFAR program, and policy restrictions. PEPFAR may also support activities not mentioned in the national HIV/AIDS strategies but that are addressed in relevant sector- or program-specific strategies. PEPFAR officials reported various efforts to help ensure that PEPFAR activities support the achievement of national strategy goals, including assisting in developing national strategies, participating in formal and informal communication and coordination meetings, engaging regularly with partner country governments during the annual planning process, and developing a new HIV/AIDS agreement, known as a partnership framework, between PEPFAR and partner country governments. PEPFAR stakeholders highlighted several challenges related to aligning PEPFAR programs with national HIV/AIDS strategies or promoting country ownership of U.S.-supported HIV/AIDS programs. First, PEPFAR indicators, including indicator definitions and timeframes, sometimes differ from those used by partner countries and other international donors. Second, gaps may exist in the sharing of PEPFAR information with partner country governments and other donors. Third, limitations in country leadership and capacity, such as lack of technical expertise to develop strategies and manage programs, affect country teams' ability to ensure that PEPFAR activities support achievement of national strategy goals. Fourth, Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) guidance to country teams regarding development of partnership frameworks does not include indicators for establishing baseline measures of country ownership prior to implementation of partnership frameworks. Without baseline measures, country teams may have limited ability to measure the frameworks' impact and make needed adjustments. GAO recommends that the Secretary of State direct OGAC to develop and disseminate a methodology for establishing baseline measures of country ownership prior to implementing partnership frameworks. OGAC concurred with this recommendation.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: While commenting on the report, State concurred with GAO's recommendation. State subsequently indicated in its 60 day response letter that PEPFAR was responding to GAO's recommendation by working with McKinsey & Company to develop a framework that would permit measurement of country ownership. Briefing slides developed by PEPFAR and by McKinsey & Company in 2011, and PEPFAR FY 2012 Country Operational Plan (COP) guidance identified criteria, grouped as four "dimensions," to assess partner country ownership of PEPFAR programs. During a May 2012 meeting, an official from OGAC confirmed that OGAC had developed the four dimensions to assess country ownership, conducted pilots using the dimensions in two PEPFAR countries (South Africa and Botswana), and rolled out the assessment initiative to all PEPFAR country teams in PEPFAR FY 2012 COP Guidance issued by OGAC. The official also stated that GAO's report "absolutely" and "without a doubt" influenced the internal dialogue at OGAC about country ownership, and the decision to bring in McKinsey & Company to assist in developing the four dimensions. As such, we consider OGAC's actions to be responsive to our report.
Recommendation: To enhance PEPFAR country teams' ability to achieve the goal of promoting partner country ownership of U.S.-supported HIV/AIDS (human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) activities, the Secretary of State should direct the Office of the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) to develop and disseminate a methodology for establishing indicators needed for baseline measurements of country ownership prior to implementation of partnership frameworks.

The inaugural session of the National Youth Parliament commences promising a new era for the youth of Sri Lanka
The inaugural session of the Sri Lanka's Youth Parliament was inaugurated on 16th of July at the Sri Lanka National Youth Services Council in Maharagama under the patronage of Parliament Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa.
The political observers said that this is a beginning of a new chapter in the socio-political environment of Sri Lanka, where the inaugural session of the National Youth Parliament, poised to change the experiences of the Sri Lankan youth was held.
Modeled after the Parliament of Sri Lanka, this is the country's first step to join several developed nations in this advanced social experiment as it joins the peoples and nations of the world in celebrating the International Year of Youth.
The youth parliament aims to develop the leadership skills of the young men and women of our country and to encourage and engage them in quality and ethical political process to effectively transform Sri Lanka.
A prominent feature of the Youth Parliament is that it is representative of all the whole socio-political and economic strata of Sri Lanka, including a member from the physically disabled community.
The National Youth Parliament consists of a total number of 335 members, of whom 332 members each represent a different district in Sri Lanka and the 3 other members tasked with representing ethnic minorities who were appointed by the Authorized Officer and Secretary of the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Mr. S.S. Hevapathirana.
All members of the parliament except the Speaker, Deputy Speaker, Prime Minister and the Members of the Cabinet were divided to the Governing and Opposition sides.
Once the Mace was kept on its stand, the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker were elected. The proceedings of youth parliament were conducted in a peaceful and co-operative manner in contrast to the national parliament showing a good sign for the country's parliamentary future.
In a ceremony identical to that of the actual Sri Lankan parliament, the five minutes of the ringing bell signaled the young members of parliament to take their seats.
The Secretary General of the Youth Parliament accompanied by the Sergeant-at-Arms brought the Mace to the parliament.
The national anthem was played as all members stood in respect.
Thus came into being the National Youth Parliament of Sri Lanka, conceptualized and spearheaded by a team comprising Dr. Navaratne Rambukwella and Prof. Dhamma Dissanayake from the Department of Political Science and National Policy of the University of Colombo and Dr. Shantha Abeysinghe from the Department of Political Science of the Open University, under the guidance of the Minister of Youth Affairs and Skills Development, Mr. Dullas Allahaperuma.
Mr. Mohamed Anees of Naramwala was chosen as the Speaker, proposed and seconded by Mohamed Shah Jahan and Chamara Sampath respectively. Lasath Dissanayake from Bope Poddala was chosen as the Deputy Speaker, proposed and seconded by Thamindu Chamara and Dinesh Asanka respectively.
Mr. Shihan Dhammika Jayasinhe from Dodangoda in Kalutara was chosen as the Prime Minister. Ms. K. Kavithra from Kunukkai in Mullaithevu was chosen as the Deputy Prime Minister, demonstrating a truly mature attitude of the youth parliamentarians towards gender and ethnic equity.
Mr. Gayan Sameera from Kandy and Mr. Harindra Rupasinhe from Kegalle were chosen as Chairman and Deputy Chaiman of the Working Committee respectively.
The Chief Organiser of Government, Mr. Vimukthi Chathuranga from Weligama is also Chairman of the Committee on Environmental Protection. Mr. K.A.K. Senevirathne from Galenbidunuwewa in Anuradhapura was chosen as the Deputy Organiser of the Government and also the Chaiman of the Planning and Implementation Committee.
The Leader of Opposition, Mr. Eranda Manoj from Wattala is also the Chairman of the Planning and Implementation Committee on Human Resource and Enterprise.
The Chief Organizer of the Opposition is Mr. A.M. Aslum Sarja from Adalachchanei in Ampara, he is also the Chairman of the Committee on Public Relations.
The official term for the 1st youth parliament has been set for a limited period of 1 year due to limited membership of the Sri Lanka population in youth clubs and societies.
The official term of the youth parliament will be increased to its standard period of 3 years from election of the second parliament.
The parliament sessions would be held every 3rd Friday and Saturday of the month.
The Youth Parliament would be directly tasked with the work of the Ministry of Youth Affairs and its affiliated institutions. The ministry intends the Youth Parliament to be an independent decision making body.

VIDEO: Examining The Electronics Of The MakerBot Replicator
Hey, check this out. Dave Jones at EEVBlog does a "teardown" of The Replicator. He makes a great point: now that we only sell fully assembled machines, a lot of people might not know what's going on behind the curtains. Here's your chance, but be warned, it does get fairly technical!

I went to Montessori school msyelf, and it was a great experience for me, and I think for most kids. Yes, it is a lot of tinkering, playing, exploring. The problem is people think that kind of learning is just for preschool. By Kindergarten you have to sit quietly, and pay attention and be taught.

Perchance to Dream
Critics whove seen Peter I. Changs newest film, Tokyo is Dreaming, are calling it a love letter to Japans Eastern Capital. Like Chang's earlier films, this one uses the camera as an invisible eye, observing the ways in which the quiet solitude of the city intersects with its bustling business activity. Japanese urban life is deconstructed, and the things we think we know about Tokyos culture -- its colossal industry; its prominence as a travel destination -- overlap quiet stories of isolation and homelessness. Changs depiction of life and leisure in the Japanese capital is scored by Calexico's John Convertino. Director Chang and producer Mitch Cullin will attend the screening to discuss their film after its shown.

A thymiaterion (from Ancient Greek: θυμιατήριον from θυμιάειν thymiaein "to smoke"; plural thymiateria) is a type of censer or incense burner, formerly used in the Mediterranean region for spiritual and religious purposes and especially in religious ceremonies.
The term is used not only for the censers of ancient Greece, from where the term comes, but also to describe the censers of other peoples of the ancient world, such as the Phoenicians and Etruscans.
Thymiateria could take a wide variety of forms, ranging from simple earthenware pots to elaborate carved, moulded or cast items made from clay or bronze.

The Polo suffered further rear differential and handbrake issues on last week's Rally Argentina.
A revised specification of handbrake operation - hydraulic instead of pneumatic – was running on Andreas Mikkelsen's third car, but it will not be included on the points-scoring Polos until it is absolutely ready.
Sebastien Ogier and Jari-Matti Latvala both suffered problems with the part and were vocal in their desire to see the upgrade out in time for the Acropolis Rally at the end of the month.
"I know that the team is working hard on it, but still there are a few problems on the new system we want to homologate," Ogier said.
"Normally we will have this for the next rally, but already I heard that for many months... It's a shame.
"When I need to use the handbrake in an emergency, it's not good not to have it working properly."
Capito stood firm on VW's timetable for the upgrades.
"We have a rigorous and disciplined evaluation process and we don't put any parts in the cars until they are 100 per cent proven – and this is not yet the case," he said.
"If we were to put the new system in before it was ready and it failed, that would be a much bigger disaster."
VW technical manager Francois-Xavier Demaison agreed drivers could not rush technical developments.
"We don't know yet when it will be completely signed off or when we will have it on the car – hopefully for the next round in Greece," he said.
"But it's not Seb Ogier or anybody else giving pressure who will decide that date. We have a validation process which we will stick to.
"Somebody has to take the decision and I took the decision not to have it [for Argentina]."
The new part will be the third evolution of handbrake for Volkswagen. The car started life with a mechanical system similar to the one used on the Ford Fiesta RS WRC.
Having come from Citroen's quicker hydraulic system, Ogier wanted improvements – hence the pneumatic system.
This failed in Portugal when the valve stuck open do to excess pressure (leaving Ogier's car briefly in front-wheel drive) and then it failed because of a lack of pressure – due to a split pipe – in Argentina.
Ogier slid off the road and out of the lead while experiencing this problem.
Demaison admitted he was reluctant to run the hydraulic system.
"It's heavier, it's more complicated and it takes power from the engine to run an electrical motor," he said.

Skip to comments.Hillary Clinton Praises GOP Establishment, Big Business For Taking On Tea Party
Posted on 07/18/2014 2:22:23 PM PDT by Biggirl
Hillary Clinton thanked the Republican establishment and its big business allies for taking on the Tea Party and defeating conservative candidates like Chris McDaniel in Mississippi's June runoff.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
A "major endorsement" for BIG business and the GOP. Congratulations to them!!!
Hillary gives an attaboy to her troops!
Color me unsurprised.
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." —Mahatma Ghandi (just before they killed him)
It is what make him a RINO.
Sen. John Kerry (D) to Don Imus on RomneyCARE:
"I like this health care bill".
Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) on RomneyCARE:
"To come up with a bipartisan plan in this polarized environment is commendable."
Makes target selection less taxing, so to speak.
If Hillary supports it you know it's wrong.
The 2016 question is does the Tea Party have enough influence to get their candidate nominated (it's the GOP nomination, not the general election, that is the key, as it has been for the last 40 or so years).
Who's out there beside Paul and Cruz?
Never a clearer example.
This is coming from the OTHER wing of the Uniparty for once.
All this does is confirms that the GOP establishment is part of the same political cartel that's going to wither up and go away inevitably, replaced with either a stronger Republican Party or a brand new conservative-libertarian-populist political party that represents the people.
Is this what Hillary and the Democrats want? If you're a leftist, this is the most bone-headed statement one could make. Leftists never telegraph their moves.
I thought this was satire. Talk about balls! Unbelievable. And, as usual, nobody's gonna pay a lick of attention to what was said nor who said it. Ow, my head...
Something must be done about the TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY Party! How can we ever be a successful BIG government nanny state when people are complain about having to subsidize it with their hard earned wages?! Hrmupf! Hrumpf! - Slick Willie's Wife, the GOP and BIG business.
Say what you will,I don't care. I'm not voting RINO.
If Ted Cruz can manage to expose or nullify RINO and liberal voter fraud for his 2016 Presidential run, Hillary Clinton and her butt-buddies had better flee this country.
Wait a minute. I thought Hillary was for us peeps....It takes a village, Hil. A VILLAGE!!
Who's out there besideThere, I fixed it for you.
Paul andCruz?
Its past time we go our own way. There is no hope left that the GOP can be salvaged.
I'm not seeing how her remark hurts the Democratic franchise, and it sure does throw a hot potatoe into the GOPe lap.
This reminds me of a story. After the Willie Horton ads became famous & had severely hurt Dukakis' campaign, a reporter went to see Horton in prison. He asked Willie who he supported for POTUS. Horton said, 'Dukakis, of course'.
Later, Horton glommed onto the fact that his endorsement had further harmed Dukakis. He contacted the reporter & said he was actually supporting Bush. His 'correction' came too late to help Dukakis, but was funny nonetheless.
To think Hillary is as shortsighted as Horton. She endorses the GOPe without, evidently, realizing it is the kiss of death. The GOPe honchos, meanwhile, are buying their antacids in gallon jugs. They are already as popular as head lice; Hillary's imprimatur lowers them to the level of E Coli.
You're doing OK boys. A little more licking on the right boot there. You know, if you need me, just whistle. What a *witch. with a b, minus the w. These 'folks' need no lessons. They seem to be doing a dam good job of their own. REMEMBER MISSISSIPPI
-—Who's out there beside Paul and Cruz?-—
The GOPc will prefer a governor. It will not be the GOPe governor Christe. Perry or Walker will prevail
Neither cruz nor Paul has the executive management experience required to recover from the Obama debacle.
I'm not convinced (yet) but OK who's out there besides Cruz? (I'm also not yet convinced that Cruz is committed to cutting this $4 trillion government by at least 80%).
The Chamber of Commerce, which has vowed to spend at least $50 million against Tea Party candidates and those who oppose amnesty legislation, and Karl Rove's American Crossroads, have also emphasized their desire to defeat conservative candidates, much to Clinton's delight."
Hillary Clinton to RINO: Would you sell out your constituents and your country for $50 million?
Hillary: Would you sell out your constituents and your country for 50 cents?
RINO:What do you think I am?
Hillary: We've already established that. We are just negotiating the price.
I think you mean:
Anyway, I'm not sold on Perry.
Don't know what Walker's about.
None of them will cut it, but they will all tell you that they will
Now that's true bipartisanship!
Perfect use of that classic ;-)
Dang, man, that goes without saying. But there's gotta be somebody somewhere who's got their head screwed on straight and cares more about America than their own stupid political career and in a position to do something about it (ie CUT THE FREAKING $4 TRILLION GOVERNMENT BY AT LEAST 80% before Gov-zilla eats America).
DC establishment has no party, they play good cop bad cop to keep public focus blurred. The ONLY REAL PARTY in this country is the TEA PARTY and it isn't even a political party but the DC establishment is obviously scared to death of it.
You are spot on...all doubt has been removed. If this doesn't convince the masses, nothing will.
Of course...with conservatives staying home on Election Day because of the GOPe's corrupt tactics, Democrats will win. No wonderHillary is cheerleading for them.
Anyone out there doubt the existence of Uniparty now?
Just one corrupt POS to another.
It looks like Hillary is going to lose the democrat primary. She's setting herself up to be the GOP candidate.
Sad thing is that this could happen
Clinton/Palin 2016.
It boggles the mind that so called elistts on the right have become the enemy to the conservative American; that American who sill loves or abides by love of God and country.....that those elites would throw they're weight behind Hillary Clinton, a proven liar, a person who lies without hesitation or shame. A crooked, power hungry female who will finish the job of "transforming the nation" that the scat now in the White House is aggressively doing; Hillary Clinton, the epitome of a trashy woman in every sense of that word; a thief as we'll.
RINOS would clear go with HRC over Cruz, no doubt about it.
The Uniparty ...
Time to take out the Republican 'leaders'...
Chris ain't done hon...
Christie is a toasted marshmallow. Stick a fork in him.
Nothin in this thread discusses Christie Kweme...
More likely Jebbie would "offer" her v.p. post unless she switches soon.
In the long run, it does, because there'll be a strong GOP or a new 3rd party that will take the GOPe's place.

Ramdev`s missing guru: CBI to take over probe into case
New Delhi: Uttarakhand government has issued a notication authorising CBI to take over the probe in the mysterious disappearance of Swami Shankar Dev, the guru of yoga teacher Ramdev and his close aide Balkrishna.
CBI sources said the Department of Personnel, the controlling ministry of the investigating agency, issued a notification for taking over the case after a request for the same was made by the state government.
Uttarakhand Police registered a case of abduction to probe the disappearance of Dev who has been missing since July 2007 when he had gone out for a morning walk.
The state government had earlier sent a request to CBI in October last year to probe the case but the same was rejected as the state police had not even registered a case, the basic formality before the agency takes up the probe.
Swami Shankar Dev was the founder of Divya Yog Mandir Trust, currently headed by Ramdev who is already under the scanner for alleged violations in labelling of some of the products of the Trust.
Ramdev had earlier welcomed the decision of the government for a CBI probe into the disappearance of his guru.
Ramdev and his trusts are facing a number of probes by the Income Tax, Service Tax and Enforcement Directorate for alleged evasion of taxes and irregularities in complying with forex laws.

To a Skylark
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
To a Skylark Art and Culture Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Line)
Quote #1
In profuse strains of unpremeditated art. (5)
It might kind of zoom by you on the first read, but Shelley is using this simple line to make a point about how he thinks the world works. He's suggesting that the skylark is making a kind of unplanned music ("unpremeditated art"). That's important, because it sets up an idea that runs through the rest of the poem. That idea is that you can compare the art of nature with the art of humans.
Quote #2
Like a Poet hidden
In the light of thought, (36-37)
We've already talked about how the speaker uses a pretty big grab-bag of images to try to describe the song of the skylark. This one is extra-important though, because it brings back that connection between art and culture and the natural world. Basically, anytime a poet writes a line about a "Poet," it's time for us to pay attention. Eventually, the speaker is going to compare himself to the skylark, and this lays the groundwork for that comparison.
Quote #3
Chorus Hymeneal,
Or triumphal chant, (66-67)
This is the kind of stuff that hip young poets talked about in the 1800s, but it's definitely not the kind of things we care about today. Maybe that's all the more reason for us to break it down here, though. Basically, the speaker is saying that these two kinds of human songs or poems (one for a wedding and the other for a military victory) are total junk when you stack them up next to the skylark's song.

Gary Mcsheffery finally He is showing His class and why Steve Bruce has been chasing him I am glad we have got a player who can deliver good crosses Penant was a good player but his cross ratio was poor He would take all the free kicks, corners that is why He had the best record in the prem league last season.
But hail to the new Boy McSheffery :D
signs look good and the team r still Gelling We r not firing on all cylinders and still sit pretty on the top:D
DJ Campbell is playing out of his socks too, with Bendtner getting a Red card will be interesting to see how the replacement strikers will respond..
I think Damien Johnson is better when He plays at right back. anyway time to get behind the Blues and push em even higher :D
Keep right On!
We r coming up..Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Thankyou Mr Mcsheffery goal number 16*
too all the boo boys!
GET Ur Fingers Out!
Stoke r a decent side but we did play poorly, rather they frustrated us, but if Clemence is injured Sorry but He has to be substituted and Larrson is one of the stars we have had this season!
so get behind the Boyz in Royal BLue!
Keep Right On!

i was at the match and it was the ref who was poorest.followed by stoke then blues.still crap game but great 3 pionts that is the main thing
I really feel for you neil must be a very big loss..
but you can't really blame coventry for selling him, the boy wants to do well, also he gets a pay rise and gets to play (no disrespect to coventry) at a better club.
wish you all the best for the season..
rumours have it bruce is watching someone else from coventry? Who i'd like to know?
To be honest McSheffrey was not good enough for our Sky Blue squad anyway. We may as well get your 4 million quid than leave him sitting on the bench.
(sob....who am I kidding?) please tell me it's all a big joke and that he's coming back!!

Birmingham thump Plymouth 3-0 and guess whose on the score-sheet again "Gary Mcsheffery" what a player he is skillful and scares the shit outta players..

he is the best attacking midfielder we have had for ages i'm sure the big clubs will be watching his progress and might even try to lure him away..
great news for all of Birmingham.. We are Top of the League..
we have Preston on Sat lets open a gap of 6 points now..
get behind the boyz in Roayal blue..
Keep right on!
Fantastic signing for the Blues brilliant........ Scored a rake load for Coventry City, 1 for the Blues. They sign Mckenzie from Norwich with proven premiership pedigree for 1 million. Mcsheffery couldnt hit a barn door!!

Mckenzie mmm good player but He is playing at Coventry they just got him .
i personally would like them to buy Darren Huckerby He is probably the most creative midfielder outside the prem..

Hail to the new Hero at St Andrews all the big clubs will be monitoring him he is strang on the ball, good feet and can score.. scored his 1st goal for blues last night and what a sensation screamer/peach of a goal!

What is the most efficient way of setting a rotation of a single axis of a GameObject without changing the other values?
related: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/8599/how-do-i-rotate-and-object-around-its-center-in-sc.html
Answer by PatHightree
Dec 14, 2009 at 03:49 PM
I think this is what you're looking for :
// Sets the transforms rotation to rotate 30 degrees around the y-axis
transform.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(30, Vector3.up);
Answer by Ashkan_gc
Dec 28, 2009 at 06:08 PM
what jaap did can be done by transform.rotate and i think it's not what you want and you want to set the value directly.
you can use his code but remove the "rot*" and then the code will be
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 90, 0);
if you want to add some value to any of the x,y,z values simply use
transform.Rotate (0,0,10);
this will add 10 to Z value
Answer by Jaap Kreijkamp
Dec 14, 2009 at 06:09 AM
Don't know what you exactly want but maybe this is it:
var rot = transform.rotation;
transform.rotation = rot * Quaternion.Euler(0, 90, 0); // this is 90 degrees around y axis
this can be done easily by transform.rotate
Answer by Jessy
Dec 14, 2009 at 05:45 AM
The rotations are stored as quaternions, so you can store the appropriate quaternion and set transform.rotation to that.
Perhaps an explanation of what you are trying to accomplish would help. If you go into "Debug mode" and watch the rotation values change, you can see how just changing one axis's value isn't really more efficient. It only looks that way in "Normal mode".

State Rep. Mario Scavello, R-176, will officially announce his candidacy Jan. 10 for the newly created Monroe County state Senate seat.
Scavello, one of several area elected officials and civic leaders who lobbied for a single Senate seat encompassing all of Monroe, has for months indicated his interest in holding the office.
The state Legislative Reapportionment Commission gave final approval this month to new legislative boundaries that include placing all of Monroe and northern Northampton County in the 45th Senate District.
"It's a great opportunity for us to have one senator regardless of the victor," Scavello said Friday. "It would be an honor to serve in that capacity."
A Monroe senator will have considerable clout in the 50-member Senate, compared to the 203-member state House, he said.
Property tax reform measures approved by the House in recent years have died in the Senate, something not likely to happen with a Monroe senator, he said.
Scavello said he is about to send out 1,800 invitations to his formal candidacy announcement.
