The year-end rush to give out awards has started in earnest, and two totally meaningless such contests present themselves to us today. On Endless Simmer, the nominations are in for Eater of the Year and include Tony Bourdain, Padma Lakshmi, some locavores, and Joey Chestnut. Are you kidding? Why even ask the question? If Joey Chestnut, having vanquished Kobayashi and established himself as the greatest competitive eater in the world, doesn't get this award, why bother giving it? The man deserves it just for eating 103 Krystal burgers in eight minutes earlier this year.

If you have been following Namaste for the last ten years, then you may already know that the band has made some big changes over the last couple of years. After several member changes; and much hardship and heartache through those changes, Namaste has also changed their name. The band chose the name "The Phoenix Down" after their love for the game "Final Fantasy". Sometimes known as Fenix Down or Life, is a recurring common item in the Final Fantasy series. The "Down" refers to the down feathers of a bird, the undercoat of feathers beneath the visible layer on top. The down feathers of a Phoenix would return people from the dead as a Phoenix itself does. The Aletap Rumors of Final Fantasy XII says that the Phoenix Down works by being offered to appeal to the mystical Phoenix itself to allow a lost soul to return, with the quality and overall beauty of the current feather being a crucial factor. Phoenix Downs are used to revive characters who have been knocked out in battle. This band has had plenty of blows, but they are now "Revived" and ready to go and spread some love, which is what they best do.
Opening up for such names such as Vince Welnick of the Grateful Dead, this band has the chops and the energy to climb to the top fast. After their article in Relix last year, they toured for a short stint, and then took a hiatus to record their first album as The Phoenix Down. They are now geared towards hitting the road and making some new friends. To book them or get a poster designed by the lead man, Stephen Horning, email us at heidi@bigninjafam ily.com, or email@example.com.
See the Phonenix Down at Hoodilidoo, Friday, June 10 in Grand Junction, Michigan

Chances are if you haven't heard the name you have seen some of their artwork hanging in various bars around the Evansville area. Big Ninja Family Productions, the company responsible for developing websites for Lamasco Bar and Grill, Joe's Orchard, and the Homegrown Music Festival website, as well as countless band promotional posters, have been hard at work for sometime now. It wasn't until 2010 when Stephen Horning, founder of Big Ninja, hired Heidi Krause to manage his band Namaste that things really started to take off. "Stephen does some amazing graphic art, and has been for years now" says Heidi. "He takes hours to finish a piece, and the details are very intricate and sometimes labor intensive."
Not only does Big Ninja Family Production produce some of the best design work that I've seen this area, but they also manage bands and act as booking agents as well. Some of the artists currently on their roster include: Namaste, Dang Heathens, Brick Briscoe, Kinetix, New Country Rehab, Green Room Rockers, and Lost River Caveman. "When we work with musicians or bands, we like to see folks who are already taking the initiative to work hard, and are happy working with other musicians," says Heidi. "We believe that we are all one through music, and that we can all make a difference with individual sounds. If you are feeling down and you listen to the right music, it can change you. I know that Namaste got me through some of the hardest times in my life, and to Stephen and the rest of Big Ninja that is what Big Ninja Family Productions is hoping to achieve as a collective."
Big Ninja Family Productions has a busy April ahead of them preparing for their Bluegrass and Blues in the 'Burg festival which happens on April 20-21 at Angel Mounds in Newburgh, Indiana. According to bigninjafamily.com, in honor of Earth Day and Angel Mounds State Historic Site, part of the proceeds for this event go to "Friends of Angel Mounds". This event includes two days of national, regional, and local live music, worthy Evansville area non profits, FREE camping, a special family camping area, Saturday morning brunch provided by Lamasco Bar and Grill, food and art vendors, amazing artists and life size art installations; and, a special children's zone just for the kids. ALL included in the price of your ticket! Children 12 and under are free! The Saturday Morning Brunch at 10 am will be accompanied by some beautiful bluegrass music.
Also, if you are looking for something to do on Easter Eve, Big Ninja Family Productions would like to remind you that two of their artists will be performing this weekend. The Dang Heathens with special guest Brick Briscoe will be at Doc's (1305 N. Stringtown) on Saturday, April 7. The show starts at 8:00pm.
"Yes, the show coming up on Saturday with The Dang Heathens and Brick Briscoe at Doc's will be amazing!" says Heidi. "I am not just saying that either. When we first took Brick on as a client we were stumped on who to pair him with. His sound is so unique. Then I remembered being a judge at Lamasco's contest and seeing Andy Moore play, and it just clicked in my brain. These two guys have a lot in common musically, and they will compliment each other. My personal wish would be to see these two bands travel a bit and get out of Evansville together to play a tour. But, I am always dreaming of making great musicians famous. They work too hard for nothing most of the time, so they deserve it in the end."

Brick Briscoe is a composer, filmmaker and photographer. He sometimes writes things that have nothing to do with those things as well. Odds are you will cross his path sometime.
His new record, Travel and Leisure is his sixth LP and his fourth as a solo artist. Taking on the task of painting sound and song with the most electric, deep colors available isn't something that just anyone should try at home but after testing the tides of both Los Angeles and New York City, Briscoe found both solace and fire in the soft rolling plains of Indiana. Home.
This soft-spoken yet hard-driven man still claims to be a fan first and foremost. Days of post-punk vinyl and the emerging indie film wave, CBGB's, Wire, The Beautiful South, Gang of Four, The Jam, and Stan Ridgway have left an indelible mark. Those passing by the studio will also hear Mahler, Monk and the Mekons. His tastes are as eclectic as his releases.
In the recent past Brick has produced Molly D, Matt Sullivan, Machines from Birth, Denise Dill, Orenda, Namaste, dozens of commercials, a few EPKs for bands, photographed a slew of bands and clients and made a few feature documentary films.
If you find yourself lost, on the mean streets of Anywhere, USA, and are seeking a warm place to record and a cool glass of bourbon, Brick's waiting on the porch. Although we hear he's now on wine and scotch these days.
Briscoe will be performing an unplugged show Friday March 16, 2012 at The Cherry Ghost in Washington, Indiana, with multi-instrumentalist Ray Major to help promote his new record, Travel and Leisure. Briscoe has decided to perform some solo shows right off the top as a means to more economically hit the road.
"We did a band CD release show and I think the drummer chickened out when it became clear that there was going to be a demand for shows", says Briscoe. "I can't waste time on it, it seems we found a replacement guy, but I had several shows re-booked as solos gigs. I have found that this particular instrumentation really fleshes out the songs. Ray fills in deftly where keyboards and another guitarist would be overkill."
Briscoe explains that his new record, Travel & Leisure, is about recovery… "It is really about feeling out of place and having a job like I have where no one really understands what you do," says Briscoe. "I think most people think I'm on vacation, but in actuality after speaking to people about these feelings I came to find out that everyone thinks they are out of place. So that's it in a nutshell, folks looking how to fit into a world where no one does. We're all just floating around hoping to meet someone in the hotel bar."
Come out Friday night and enjoy this live, mostly acoustic performance featuring Brick Briscoe performing with multi-instrumentalist Ray Major on violin, viola, banjo and God knows what else at The Cherry Ghost Coffee House, 424 E. Main Street, Washington, IN, phone 812-486-7927. Doors open at 7:00 p.m.
Brick will be performing songs from each of his releases. The event will be filmed by Chicago's Sureshot Productions for an upcoming Ustream event.
The show starts sometime after 8pm and before 8:30. Brick and Ray will play for around an hour or so. Rock-n-Roll time you know.

Front Porch Revival
Noah Shull has been playing Blues Music for most of his life.. Having been blessed enough to have studied early on with musicians like, Jorma Kaukonen, G.E. Smith, Jimi Vincent & Chuck Day, the authenticity and raw honesty comes through in the music. From the foothills of Ohio to the San Francisco Bay and all places in-between the Troubadour/Tramp lifestyle is also evident in his honest interpretation of the Rural Blues of the 1920's and 30's.
Steve Frye has spent the majority of the last 25+ years playing rhythm instrumentation, both Nationally and Internationally in various Blues and Blues based groups, including, Pig Meat; The Big Mess Blues Band, Strangely Enough, Ekoostik Hookah, The John Mullins Band,and most recently with Front Porch Revival. Front Porch Revival plays the type of music that was played in the rural south between the turn of the century(1900) and the 1950's, the way it was played, on the same instruments that it was played on.
Front Porch Revival is:
Noah Shull - Resophonic Guitars; Flat-Top Acoustic Guitars; Vocals
Steve Frye - Washboards Cabbage Case Stomp
You'll Love it, and likely not see much like it these days. These guys know their music, and know the history of Blues unlike non other we've seen. A live performance is truly needed to capture the amazing fire they create.

Smooth Money Gesture is infectious groove funk with ear twitching space jams, face melting solos and tight rhythmic changes. Since the new millennium, the band has been honing in on their sound, bringing their music from the East Coast to Alaska; finally landing in Nederland, Colorado where the band permanently resides. The sextet's sound is rooted in rock and roll with elements of funk, bluegrass, metal, and electronica producing a jam based high energy psychedelic creation all their own. With a variety of musical influences feeding the improvisational groove, and the majority of members contributing vocals and to songwriting, Smooth Money Gesture takes one on an adrenaline rich celebratory journey that never runs out of fuel. The band has just released their debut CD "The Grand Scubian: Evolution" and with their ever expanding tour schedule, are making forays beyond their homebase of Colorado. This next year will see them traverse the Western states and cross the great Mississippi.
At the core of Smooth Money Gesture are the Diminico brothers and lifelong friend and fellow musician Josh Gitlin-Rich. Doug Diminico plays lead guitar and sings alongside his brother Dan Diminico (bass guitar and vocals). Josh Gitlin-Rich adds his own brand of guitar riffs to compliment Smooth Money's ethereal jams. On keys is Pete Goldberg, contributing a whole new dimension to Smooth Money's music with his energetic playing and gritty vocals. Cody Wales on drums and Nathaniel Haas on percussion and vocals, keep the band driving while adding a touch of polyrhythmic flare. Guy Erickson, of Colorado Music Buzz recently remarked "Smooth Money Gesture is the very Wiki of a happy jam band...Helixes of ebullient guitar...cerebral texture from the organ and keys provides that rare, full, Psychedelic-Funk expansion augmenting the complex interplay as two drummers / percussionists mesh in ever-evolving labyrinths of rhythm...Uplifting and a reason to smile!"
Sprinkling in the occasional and unexpected covers or teases from bands such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, The Allman Brothers, The Grateful Dead, or Phish: SMG is constantly twisting and taking the jams to new heights. Integral to the SMG expansive experience, is the job of Bryce on lights and effects. Bryce has been working with SMG, adding a light show that's as over the top as the music, furthering the planetary excursion into vast and grand, Scubian worlds.

In honor of Central Oregon Beer Week, two Bend brewmasters are coming together to make one unique beer. On Friday, GoodLife Brewing and Worthy Brewing teamed up to make a Belgian Rye Ale called "Good and Worthy."
GoodLife Brewing, which has been open for less than a year, and Worthy Brewing, which opens up in January, are joining forces.
"It's neat to see how other people would create a recipe or just talk about it," said Worthy brewmaster Chad Kennedy. "And it really does start by sitting at the bar, over a couple of beers, and say, 'What about this, what about this, have you ever used this?'"
After brewing in Portland for years, Kennedy said he wanted a taste of Bend. He and GoodLife brewmaster Kurt Plants are working on their unique flavor inside a kettle.
The brewmasters say they're more likely to take a chance and try something out of the box when it's with someone else.
"For a collaboration beer like we're doing, we wanted to put a twist on it," said Plants. "So we decided to bring a Belgium yeast in, to make it a Belgium beer, instead of the normal rye."
The process starts with malted grain. It's crushed into a powder form and mixed with water to create sugar water. Then it's strained and moved to a boil kettle, where hops and flavor are added. Lastly, it goes to a fermenter, where it mixes with yeast.
Once Worthy Brewing opens its doors, the brewmasters will be competing for business. But they say the real competition is the big-name brands.
"Even though we're competing for the same customers, it's still a camaraderie, in the sense that we're trying to do something different than what those guys do," said Kennedy.
The masters are brewing up more than 1,000 gallons of their collaboration beer, ready to give Bend a taste.
"We're in this because of everybody else," said Plants. "So, as far as another brewery wanting to do a collaboration brew, we love doing that kind of stuff."
The beer will be making it's debut at a rye beer festival in Portland. They will be serving the collaboration at GoodLife in Bend in a couple of weeks.
Central Oregon Beer Week continues Saturday with Mt. Bachelor Brewski. Visitors can try 13 different beers outside the West Village Lodge.

Just don't say preggers, please.
Friends of mine have been trying to get pregnant for years, and I'd like to share PB with them as an option for potentially improving fertility. They've just had their 2nd unsuccessful round of IVF, and it's hard to see them so sad all the time, especially when I think it's possible to dramatically improve their chances through dietary changes.
They eat very, very poorly and don't see any issue with that...fast food several times a week, lots of processed and junk foods, etc. PB would be an alien language coming out of left field to them.
She is also dealing with Crohn's Disease and has other health issues that could be improved with PB. They're definitely in the 'take a bunch of pills to fix all your problems; what you eat couldn't possibly affect your health' frame of mind.
The reason I'm a little hesitant on how to handle this is that after lamenting over our fertility struggles together I am now pregnant. After dealing with PCOS and all the fun times that come with it, I totally flipped my diet around and saw significant improvements very quickly. She hasn't asked for any info or advice, but I'm bursting at the seams to tell her about it...but at the same time I know I have to be sensitive to the fact that she is hurting and angry and disappointed about her own situation.
Does anyone have experience sharing PB in a similar circumstance?
"Imagine all the people, living life in peace..."
"Nothing will work unless you do."
Just don't say preggers, please.
If I just said LOL, I lied. Do or do not. There is no try.

Question: Are verbal contracts a legal contract? Was buying a car from a friend, car title & registration left in friends name, insurance in my name, never late on a payment, friend sold car out from under me, I had put alot of money into the car. Is there anything I can do? The law officer that came when car was taken said I could file a civel law case, is this true?
Oral contracts may be enforced. The enforcement for a breach of an oral contract may be more difficult than enforcement for breach of a written contract. To prove breach of the oral contract, it ends up being one person's word against another's. Generally, the certificate of title is proof of ownership of a vehicle. However, if there is enough evidence to the contrary, ownership may become a question to be decided in a civil court case.
Under Arizona law, (A.R.S. § 28-101 (39)) "Owner" means 1) a person who holds the legal title of a vehicle, or 2) if there is an agreement to pay for the car over a period of time (a conditional sale) and with the immediate right of possession being with the buyer (the person making the payments), the buyer is considered the owner. The law also requires the seller of the car to provide certificate of title when the buyer takes possession of the car, whether the sale was a cash sale or a conditional sale. (A.R.S. §§ 28-2058, 2161) The buyer may be able to sue the seller in civil court for breach of contract to recover the payments that were made.
For claims up to $2500, the case must be filed in Small Claims Court within the Justice Court System. For claims up to $10,000, the case must be filed in the Justice Court as well but not under small claims. Forms and instructions may be found online at the Maricopa county Superior Court.
Under contract law, when a contract has been breached, the court may award attorneys' fees to the party who has been injured by the breach (the buyer here). Cases for breach of an oral contract are very difficult and while it is not necessary, it may be a wise decision for the buyer to hire an attorney depending upon the amount of money that was lost because of the seller's breach.

Ex-PepsiCo head departs PAI Partners
French buyout firm PAI Partners has lost the head of its portfolio performance group after just a year in the role.
Charles Bouaziz, who had a long career at soft drinks maker PepsiCo Western Europe, joined PAI as a partner in November last year. He will return to the consumer goods industry by taking on the chief executive role at nappy and hygiene products maker Ontex.
Ontex said in a statement yesterday that Bouaziz is replacing chief executive Michael Teacher, who has led the company since 2006.
According to a letter to investors seen by Private Equity News, a sister publication of Financial News, PAI said that Bouaziz had left the firm because he felt most at home working in industry. However, he will remain close to PAI by joining its supervisory board.
In his role as head of PAI's portfolio performance group Bouaziz oversaw the firm's operational improvement team, which advises its investee companies on growth and strategy.
Following his departure, principals Alex Kesseler and Franck Temam will lead the team, as they did before Bouaziz's arrival last year, and the firm will search for a senior executive to join them, according to the letter.
Bouaziz was PAI's first hire at partner level for almost three years when he joined the firm. He joined PepsiCo in Europe in 1991 as a marketing director for France when the entire European subsidiary employed just 15 people. By the time he departed as chief executive of western Europe almost two decades later, the firm employed more than 3,000 staff across the continent.
Bouaziz left PepsiCo in early 2010 to join the French retailer Monoprix as chief executive. But his spell there was short-lived and he resigned from the firm in July 2010 after just four months in the role citing personal reasons.
The departure from Monoprix was followed by a spell as an adviser to a number of firms, including PAI, before he agreed to join the partnership.
His new employer Ontex is owned by Goldman Sachs Capital Partners, which bought the company from Candover Partners, whose team now operates as Arle Capital Partners, in 2010 for €1.2bn. Candover had previously acquired the business in a take-private deal in 2003, which valued the company at €1.1bn.
Candover lost about €86.8m on its investment in Ontex. A source said at the time that it had made 0.7 times its €289.2m investment.
PAI Partners declined to comment. Bouaziz was unavailable for comment at time of going to press

John Dudley: Erie SeaWolves' Lennerton slugs way to prominence
The western coast of British Columbia is rugged and wet, a place that has produced many outstanding swimmers and skiers.
It's the not the perfect environment for building a baseball player, but it has produced some perfectly good ones, including current major leaguers Justin Morneau, Jason Bay, Rich Harden, Nyjer Morgan and Brett Lawrie.
It could soon include a rising first- base prospect for the Detroit Tigers who is taking his swings this spring with the Erie SeaWolves.
"I never played hockey," said Jordan Lennerton, who attended the same high school as Lawrie in Langley, B.C., a Vancouver suburb. "Sometimes that surprises people when they find out I'm from Canada."
Until they see him with a bat in his hands, anyway.
Lennerton, who homered in his first at-bat for the SeaWolves Thursday against the Bowie Baysox, fell in love with the game at age 4, when he followed his older brother to games and watched his father play fast-pitch softball. Plenty of kids around him were gliding on skates or boarding down mountainsides. Lennerton went searching for dirt and grass, even if it was often left sodden by British Columbia's rainy winters and springs.
His local team reached the Little League World Series in 1998, and Lennerton hit a two-run homer against Japan. He later played for the Langley Blaze of the B.C. Premier League, home to many of western British Columbia's top 16- to 18-year-old players because so few high schools in that region sponsor baseball.
In many ways, Lennerton said, his years with the Blaze are the reason he made it to pro ball. Central to his development was Doug Mathieson, the team's founder and manager and father of Philadelphia Phillies 1992 draft pick Scott Mathieson.
The elder Mathieson arranged annual spring trips to Arizona so the Blaze could play junior college and rookie ball teams. He also got Lennerton in front of scouts -- no small feat for a kid from Canada's Pacific Northwest -- and Lennerton wound up at El Paso Community College near the Texas-Mexico border.
That led to a full scholarship to Oregon State, and, ultimately, to the Tigers, who chose the sturdy, 6-foot 3-inch Lennerton in the 33rd round of the 2008 draft.
"Doug really deserves a lot of the credit for helping me get where I am now," Lennerton, 26, said. "He put us out there against better guys, older guys, every spring. The emphasis wasn't on winning or losing, it was on seeing good competition and getting better."
The left-handed hitting Lennerton has displayed good power at every level, hitting at least 12 home runs and driving in at least 56 in each of his first three pro seasons, including a 14-homer, 75-RBI season in 2011 in the big ballparks of the Florida State League.
He also walked 92 times a season ago, which shows an encouraging knowledge of the strike zone for a young power hitter.
He speaks softly and slowly -- almost in a drawl -- and has a laid back, fun-loving reputation that led him to hang a large "Canada" sign over his locker at Oregon State.
But as Lennerton prepared for his first Double-A season -- knowing he was at most two steps from Detroit -- he decided to change his body this past winter. Listed at 230 pounds while with high Class A Lakeland in 2011, Lennerton ate better and worked out more and showed up at spring training 20 pounds lighter.
"I was always kind of round," Lennerton said. "I decided it was time to change."
Change has been good so far.
Through 11 games, a leaner Lennerton has been a bright spot on a scuffling SeaWolves team, hitting .293 with an Eastern League-leading five home runs and 10 RBIs.
He had an eight-game hitting streak snapped Wednesday in a 7-1 loss to Trenton. But he walked twice in the game after walking only once in his previous 35 at-bats.
"I've had to make some adjustments, mostly because the pitchers here are around the plate more," Lennerton said. "My hitting coach in Lakeland talked about hitting low fly balls, because those aren't going to be caught very often, and some of them are still going to be home runs. That's what I've been trying to do this season."
He's doing it well. Well enough, so far, that his long trip from western British Columbia to the big leagues seems to be getting closer to its destination every day.

I love these little guys. We don't have a moisture problem in our living room but one of these on the windowsill still gathers up a little moisture if left to its own devices. One little trap lasts us about 3 months before it has to be changed but as I said we don't have a damp room so if you want something to cater for a damp larger area this may not be for you. I'd imagine these would be great for guest toilets or rarely used cupboards. I just wish you'd sell them in 4's rather than 2's.

Sojourners Seeking a Homeland
by: Steven Bouma-Prediger
We have in this chapter the narration of a great cloud of witnesses (12:1)—Abel and Noah, Abraham and Sarah, Jacob and Joseph, Moses and Rahab, Gideon and David, the known Hebrew prophets, and the nameless faithful over the centuries. These all were strangers and foreigners on the earth, seeking a homeland. They were seeking not the land they had left but a better place, a taste of heaven, a place to call home. They were seeking a city whose architect and builder is God (v. 10 NRSV).
What is this city like? We get glimpses of it throughout the Bible, perhaps never more eye-popping than in Revelation. A city of beauty and delight. A city of rivers and trees. A city where all kinds of people are at home. A city of shalom.
The point here, though, is that these witnesses never reached that city. They died without having received what they were promised. They remained sojourners seeking a homeland. Hence the commendation for their faith, their trust in the promise-making and promise-keeping God.
We have the advantage of looking to Jesus, "the pioneer and perfecter of our faith" (12:2 NRSV). But we, too, still live by faith, not (yet) by sight. We, too, are sojourners seeking the city of God. We, too, long for that home of shalom.

That was the last time Cole Hamels pitched with a lead. That was 44 days ago. His team won a game for him April 28 in New York by mounting a rally immediately after he departed. But that's it. He has seven losses, most in the majors. The Phillies are 1-9 when he pitches. "Nope," Hamels said Monday when asked if he wanted to discuss his latest outing, a 10-strikeout performance shortened to six innings solely because the Phillies could not score for him. Who could blame him?

Are you one of the 50 million people worldwide who suffer from epilepsy? Are your seizures severe even though you're undergoing treatment – and does epilepsy keep you from working?
If so, you may know all too well that this condition impacts every part of your life – including your finances. Lack of a paycheck and piles of medical bills, in addition to struggling with the effects of epilepsy, may seem like too much to handle.
There may be some relief. You may be eligible to receive Social Security disability (SSD) benefits.
The problem is that the Social Security Administration (SSA) denies over three-fourths of initial applications. And once you're denied, you have only 60 days to file an appeal.
To the government, which has been flooded with applications, you're just a claim number. To us, you're a person with a family dealing with a tough situation.
At Edgar Snyder & Associates, we're ready to help you get the SSD benefits you need. We can help you with the application process, or if your claim was denied, we will fight to win your appeal.
The Social Security Administration has a specific set of criteria it uses to determine whether a person is eligible for SSD benefits. To be considered "disabled," your medical condition must:
There are over 40 different types of epilepsy, each with its own triggers and medical complications. While each case is evaluated individually, the Social Security Administration looks for people with epilepsy who:
Please note – the Social Security Administration will review your medical records to determine the severity of your epilepsy and if it qualifies you for SSD benefits. If you haven't worked long enough, or recently enough, to have paid enough into the Social Security system, you may be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits instead.
For decades Edgar Snyder & Associates has helped thousands of people just like you get the SSD benefits they need to pay their bills and focus on their health.
If the SSA denied your application, or you want help applying, contact our law firm today. We win the majority of claims we appeal for our clients.
We can guide you through the complex Social Security disability system and give you peace of mind in the process. By choosing our experienced attorneys, you will know that you have done everything possible to be approved for SSD benefits.

Best of all, if we don't win your appeal, you won't owe us a penny. There really is "never a fee unless we get money for you."

Hey ladies, Cristina here. In pouring over the Milan Fashion Week offerings, one collection in particular spoke 'young' and 'sophisticated' to me, and that was Jil Sander Fall 2012. My favorite movies growing up were always to be found on Turner Classic Movies (I was an unusual kid) and I found this collection to be beautifully reminiscent of Grace Kelly.

A lovely color palette of blush pinks, reds, and navy blue were set against a stunning backdrop of flowers encased in acrylic boxes. Although this is a fall collection, it appealed to the (large) part of me that is very eagerly awaiting the arrival of spring!

Justices addressed a record crowd at the Blytheville courthouse, along with representatives from both Nucor and Big River.
Speaking on behalf of Nucor was Blytheville native Tyler McGuire, who has worked at Nucor for 18 years. McGuire emphasized the points that Nucor has been making over the past few weeks regarding the Big River Project -- namely that the companies will be direct competitors and that Nucor does not wish for its employees' tax dollars to fund such a project.
"Those that are proposing the Big River Steel project, certain elected officials and the media have portrayed Nucor as 'entitled,' as if we think we should be the only company to produce steel in the state of Arkansas," she said. "This is an inaccurate depiction. I think I can speak for my teammates when I say that we believe in capitalism. We are not afraid of competition. We are, however, very concerned when our elected officials deem it acceptable to use our tax dollars to subsidize a direct competitor. We are concerned with your apparent lack of understanding of the industry that feeds our families."
McGuire went on to question whether or not county officials had contacted the state of Mississippi to see if it has any offers on the table for Big River, based on statements about the plant being built somewhere else if it is not built in Mississippi County.
"I have heard my elected officials and the economic development staff tout the Big River Steel officials expertise in building and managing steel mills, but have you really confirmed those assumed successes?" she asked. "Many of the same assertions made in regard to the Big River Steel project were made when the Mississippi steel mill SeverCorr was being proposed. SeverCorr was built but is now wholly owned and managed by Severstal."
McGuire then listed statistics about Severstal, saying that last year it lost $255 million, and is not currently operating at projected capacities and is being kept afloat by its Russian parent company. She also said SeverCorr was purported to be participating in the exposed automotive steel market -- one in which Nucor does not participate -- but that SeverCorr did not and has not operated in that market, and that its construction project ran a quarter billion dollars over budget.
She closed by saying that the project seemed like a "fast moving train," and further challenged the Court to ask more questions and ensure that they had accurate information, asking that they take the time needed to gain better understanding before committing tax dollars to the project.
Also present representing Nucor were Chad Utermark, general manager of Nucor-Yamato Steel, and Sam Comella, vice president and general manager of Nucor Steel Arkansas, but neither addressed the group.
John Correnti was in attendance to speak on behalf of his project, and repeated statements he has made before in the area about his love for Mississippi County and his appreciation for the people here who helped to make his career.
"I want to come here because I want to make money," he said. "And I want to have the people I hire make money. Nucor is a great company, but I'm disappointed that they are spreading doubt and fear, as well as a lot of inaccuracies."
He went on to say that his project did have an offer from Mississippi, but that he had turned it down to accept the one from Arkansas.
"Mississippi County is still a good place to put a steel mill," he said. "And Big River will be a good corporate citizen. Our corporate headquarters will be in Osceola, and our executives will live in northeast Arkansas. This is a good project for Mississippi County and for the state of Arkansas, and it will employ a lot of good people who are looking for jobs -- an opportunity, not a guarantee. My only guarantee was to the state for that number, but I don't lose a bit of sleep over it because I know they will exceed those numbers."
Addressing the issue of production overlap with Nucor, Correnti said he was hoping to make a higher grade of steel that could be sold to automotive companies, as well as to local industries who need additional products that Nucor does not make.
"As far as the connotations about the state and county money being spent," he said, "Nucor got $660 million from the state of Louisiana to put a facility in there, and it's disingenuous for them to say that it's not good for the goose but good for the gander."
County Economic Developer Clif Chitwood also addressed the Court, saying the Arkansas Economic Development Commission has performed full due diligence in the project.
"Two consulting firms hired by legislators gave it a high rate of success," he said. "This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity. The Nucor campus grew from a few hundred jobs to close to 5,000, and we believe the same thing could happen here. It's a good investment."
He also emphasized that $150 million from private investors had to be spent before any state or county tax dollars were kicked in to the project.
Also visiting to address the Court and audience was Grant Tennille, head of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission in Little Rock, who said his agency is very appreciative of Mississippi County for being willing to partner with the state in funding the project.
"In larger deals such as this one across the country," he said, "the state's share of an economic development incentive usually comes out to 10 percent -- call it corporate welfare. We have learned a lot about how banks look at these deals -- what would it cost to complete this project if everything was perfect? Everything is not perfect in the real world. Big River Steel spent over a year looking at sites around the country. When it comes down to two or three sites, the economic development game is to help the company create that perfect version of the world for their project. Often this involves pulling in private land, or working with natural barriers or impediments. The company knows what it will cost to build, and it looks for incentives that will solve problems in the process that had not initially been part of their vision."
Tennille said in the Big River deal, a bank was funding $700 million, Big River $300 million, the state of Arkansas $125 million, and Mississippi County $14.5 million.
"This makes us and Mississippi County a small part of the project," he said, "but an important part. It's important to have a community that is willing to do their share. I believe this is a good deal for Arkansas and Mississippi County. I will not get paid one dollar more whether Big River comes here or not, and I have zero incentive to bring the legislators a bad deal. I have chosen to make Arkansas my home. I wasn't born here but I love it. And I cannot spend the rest of my life having people whisper behind my back that I was the guy who lost us all that money on a bad steel deal. That's what keeps me awake at night. I recognize you are at a disadvantage, being asked to make a big decision, and one that is frightening, but I have looked at this as closely as anything in my life, and talked to people for and against it. We have adequate safeguards if the company doesn't perform, we'll get our money back. My job is to bring high paying jobs to Arkansas and we did that. If one impact is that the wage scale in Mississippi County goes up and other companies have to pay people more money to work for them, good. That's the idea."
He added that while Big River might create some competition for Nucor, he does not believe it will imperil them.
"Economists have said that there is room in the marketplace," he said, "and two steel mills in Mississippi County will serve as a map for other companies that need steel to make what they make. Over the next three years, our agency and Big River have committed to put up $100,000 a year each for traveling the world and talking up Mississippi County in industries that need steel. This will transform the economy of this county."
After hearing statements from both sides, as well as reviewing reports from committee chairs, the Court voted a unanimous "yes" to appropriate the funds, in an ordinance which also provides for the purchase of cars for the Sheriff's Department, continued cultural studies on the supersite and workforce training.

Miller, with pooches Porgy and Bess in tow, hung out in Law's trailer and walked the dogs on the grounds of the state Capitol, where cast and crew are filming. (In fact, the production took over Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco's office; she is working out of the governor's mansion. Now that's southern hospitality.) Before Baton Rouge, the crew filmed in New Orleans, where Law made quite an impression at Maximo's restaurant with costar Penn, Penn's wife, Robin Wright Penn, and four other guests by leaving an especially generous tip. "He gave me extra money to take my daughter out with," the waiter tells us. Law and friends also left behind cartoon figures drawn on the paper table settings, which were later snatched by neighboring fans.

Mayor presses jury on garbage truck leaks
By PAUL KEDINGER
Managing Editor
Mayor Roland Boudreaux used a series of images of hydraulic leaks and fluids leaching out onto Rayne's city streets to call on members of the Acadia Parish Police Jury to resolve the problems he traced to garbage trucks picking up garbage every Tuesday.
"We hoped to have this resolved," Mayor Boudreaux said, "but it has never stopped."
The pictures showed lines of hydraulic fluid and other liquids soaking into Rayne's streets. One picture showed a wide swath of fluid that stretched over three blocks.
The mayor did report that workers from the parish's solid waste landfill have used special powders to soak up the leakage.
"I get calls every week," he told jurors from citizens voicing complaints.
He suggested Progressive Waste Solutions which is contracted with the Police Jury should be required to meet its obligations.
He also mentioned instances when garbage was not picked up within a 24-hour time limit stipulated in the parish contract.
Juror Dale Trahan asked the mayor to contact him with those instances with a promise to get the garbage picked up.
Juror A.J. "Fatty" Broussard pointed out the garbage collection contract imposes a $250 per day fine for failure to pick up trash within 24 hours.
Broussard acknowledged, "We have some problems" and that "things have to change."
Timothy Taylor, operations manager, attempted to ask the jurors' questions, but did not fully satisfy jurors' concerns.
When pressed by Juror Broussard, Taylor agreed to attend the Solid Waste Committee's meeting in July, with the prospect of attending future monthly sessions.
In other committee action, Juror Trahan suggested the Jury use its own equipment and workers to replace a collapsed slope on a road into the parish landfill.
"We'll save money doing it ourselves," argued Trahan rather than authorizing Mader Engineering, Inc. to acquire proposals to relocate the road.
Mader engineer Brett Bayard countered that landfill workers were not qualified to complete such tasks as soil compacting.
The slope failed due to the build up of too much moisture. That build up was traced to the inability of E.B Feucht & Sons to remove silt with a holding pond.
Committee members Julie Borill and Broussard moved to recommend the full Jury authorize Mader Engineering to secure new road proposals.
The committee also agreed that the $84,000 contract with Feucht be terminated due to the wet conditions.
Glenn Stokes of Mosquito Control Con tractors, Inc. (MCCI) reported that mosquito population was at its lowest during this year's first five months. "However, these low numbers of mosquitoes may be coming to an end with the record amount of rainfall experienced in the last two years," he remarked.
Stokes continued while there have been no positive West Nile virus indications, he has started a full range of surveillance techniques.
He pointed out MCCI's ten spray trucks are available seven days a week and he is prepared to use aerial spraying, if necessary.
The Building and Grounds Committee agreed to recommend the Acadia Parish Rice Arena budget be adjusted to fund three major projects. Arena chairman Jeff Boullion listed $17,000 to move Cleco electrical lines, $50,000 to install a dirt pad, and $3,000 to dig a drainage ditch toward the Interstate.
The committee also recommended re-advertising to sell two metal modular buildings at the Acadia Parish Detention Center. No bids were received in the first round of advertising, so the sale will be placed in several newspapers.
The Road and Bridge Committee received two proposals from Road Manager Michael "PeeWee" Schexnider regarding the purchase of excavators manufactured by John Deere and Komat'Su instead of purchasing two gradalls.
Schexnider indicated such an excavator would cost around $100,000 compared to $300,000 for a gradall.
Juror Trahan commented, "We can buy one for the cost of (gradall) repairs.
The committee forwarded its recommendation to the full Jury, if there are adequate funds in the road department budget.
The Finance Committee agreed with Lee Hebert's recommendation to reject the sole bid for the construction of saferooms and wind retrofit projects at the Rayne Civic Center, Church Point Community Center and Crowley Rice Festival Building.
Hebert pointed out three bids are required whenever it involves the use of federal funds.
The committee also recommended the acceptance of all annual bids for materials and supplies with the exception of lubricants.
Juror Robert Guidry, with Juror Trahan concurring, wondered if the lubricant bid for reconditioned oil must be a cause for the large amount of equipment repair costs. The two jurors suggested separate bids be taken for what they called "virgin oil."

New-born calves excrete feces during the first week of life which show distinct variations in the gross appearance. A study was made, therefore, of the amount of fat present in the feces, from birth to the time when the calves were approximately a week old. It is during this time that the calf readjusts its metabolic activities from that of an intra-uterine existence to one in which it subsists by absorption from its gastro-intestinal tract. It was found in general that the fat content of feces increases from birth to approximately the third day, after which it decreases and assumes an approximately normal level. At the time of the high fat content, there is present in the feces a greater proportion of fatty acids in the form of soap, indicating a lack of absorption on the part of the young animal.
The method used for the determination of fat

Metal News for June 21, 2004
Last updated on September 26, 2016 at 8:44 AM ET
We post metal news every day, throughout the day, covering thousands of metal bands including underground and unsigned bands. You are currently browsing the news archive, but you can also find news by band.
8 news articles posted on this day.
Hear New Life of Agony Song, 'Justified', Online
LIFE OF AGONY have uploaded a short clip of a new song, entitled "Justified" at their official web site. "Justified" is one of four tracks the band recently recorded for inclusion on their first album of new material since 1997's "Soul Searching Sun", tentatively due late 2004/early 2005 through an as-yet-undetermined label. Other songs that were tracked during the sessions were "The Day He Died", "The Calm That Disturbs You" and "Love To Let U Down".
Manmade God Change Name To Spiralarms
San Francisco Bay Area's MANMADE GOD, now featuring former SYSTEMATIC frontman Tim Narducci, have officially changed their name to SPIRALARMS.
"We changed our name due a number of reasons, mostly political, but most importantly the sound," said Narducci in on online posting. "It's much different then what those guys [MANMADEGOD] were doing before and much different even for myself.
"We have been writing like crazy [and we have] about 16 songs [finished] now. We played our first show at the Pound June 5th in San Francisco and it was a blast!"
SYSTEMATIC, one of the first groups signed to Lars Ulrich's now-defunct imprint The Music Company (distributed through Elektra Records), broke up following an April 9 show in Livermore, California. Meanwhile, MANMADEGOD appear to have suffered a similar fate following the departure of vocalist Pann and an apparent split with their record label, American Recordings.
Download Megadeth's 'Insomnia'
A remixed and remastered version of the MEGADETH track "Insomnia" has been posted online in MP3 format at this location (ZIP file).
"Insomnia" comes off the upcoming "Risk" reissue, due on July 27 through Capitol Records. A total of seven albums from the group's back catalogue as well as the MD45 record re-sung by MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine have been remixed and remastered and will feature added bonus tracks, artwork and detailed liner notes.
"Some of the songs just didn't turn out the way that I wanted them to when they were first made, due to money restrictions, technology limitations and so on," said Mustaine. "I believe now that there is nothing standing in the way of what I felt when I wrote these songs and how you will be able to hear them."
The complete list of albums being re-released on July 27 is as follows:
01. "Peace Sells ...But Who's Buying" (1986)
02. "So Far, So Good, So What" (1988)
03. "Rust In Peace" (1990)
04. "Countdown To Extinction" (1992)
05. "Youthanasia" (1994)
06. "Cryptic Writings" (1997)
07. "Risk" (1999)
08. "MD45 - The Craving" (1996)

Ozzfest 2004 Unsigned Band Search To Be Televised
Sharon Osbourne has spoken to the TV show "Extra" about the recently announced "twist" to the ninth annual Ozzfest tour — the Osbournes will choose one unsigned band and take them on the road. Asked if this this going to be the newest reality show, Sharon replied, "It might be, it might not be. But it is going to be televised."
Following the cancellation of her talk show, Sharon plans to face off with Simon Cowell in a new TV talent search show called "The X Factor". Sharon says that both son Jack and daughter Kelly are back on track and she and Ozzy are feeling better than ever. "How lucky am I to have such a family? I am blessed," she told "Extra".

Wargasm To Play Reuinion Show
Classic early-Nineties thrash band WARGASM are reportedly planning a reunion show on September 18, 2004 as part of a benefit concert at the Middle East club in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Also set to appear is the local thrash band TRIPHAMMER. No further information is currently available.
WARGASM split up in 1995 after issuing their third full-length album, "Suicide Notes", through the Transmission label.
Trouble Set Title Of Unplugged CD
Reunited doom legends Trouble have set "Simple Mind Condition" as the title of their unplugged CD, which is set to be available via the band's official web site before the end of the month. The effort, which contains acoustic versions of five classic TROUBLE numbers along with two brand new songs, was remixed by Vinny Wojno (MACHINE HEAD, KREATOR, KONKHRA) at a studio in San Francisco. Among the cuts set to appear on "Simple Mind Condition" are "Misery Shows Act II", "Flowers", "Rain", "Requiem" and "Tragedy Man".
TROUBLE are tentatively scheduled to enter the studio in the fall to record their long-awaited follow-up to 1995's "Plastic Green Head", due in early 2005 through an as-yet-undetermined label. In addition, the band have plans to re-release their classic "Trouble" (1984, later renamed "Psalm 9") and "Skull" (1985) CDs in November. A live DVD shot in Stockholm, Sweden last November will surface later in the year.
Site Update
We're Baaaaaack
What was a server upgrade turned wrong when we had a hard drive failure. To make matters worse, the most recent data backup was corrupt, so we've lost much more news, comments and band info than we expected... I've exhausted all means to retreive this information and decided the only thing left is to move forward.
With that said, I've learned a lot from this disastrous experience and it won't happen again! Despite the loss, the server has been upgraded and better backup procedures are already in place. There's still more metal news to come and new site features coming in the near future for metalunderground.com.
Thanks for your patience and support.

RANGOON — A budget request of 7 billion kyats (US$7.1 million) for Burma's peace process and national reconciliation efforts has been submitted to Parliament as a designated appropriations item for the first time.
Kan Chun, a President's Office official, told a session of Parliament this week that President Thein Sein intended the funds, which fall under the broader "national planning" budget, to be used for the ongoing peace process between the government and more than a dozen ethnic armed rebel groups.
The request marks the first time that a "peace appropriation" has been requested as a component of the state budget. Last year, one million kyats—diverted from its originally earmarked purpose of funding the construction of housing for parliamentarians in Naypyidaw—was the extent of government funding for peace talks. Outside funders such as the Norway Peace Initiative and Japan's Nippon Foundation have been the main financial backers of the peace process in Burma. Foreign governments and the European Union have also been major supporters.
"The budget was not proposed by MPC," said Hla Maung Shwe, a leading member of the Myanmar Peace Center (MPC) who added that he felt the funding request was excessive.
"The proposed peace budget this year is so much, in my opinion. Seven times more than the previous amount," he said.
Still, the funding request is just a fraction of the 2.36 trillion kyats that Burma's Defense Ministry proposed this week for its 2014-15 budget.
Funds designated for Burma's peace process go to a variety of different initiatives and expenditures, including the set-up and staffing of liaison offices in ethnic regions, development programs and coordinating operations run by the MPC, a government-affiliated entity formed with 700,000 euros ($950,000) in start-up funding from the European Union. In announcing the formation of the MPC in November 2012, the European Union pledged an additional 30 million euros in support for the peace process in 2013.
"The budget, if approved by the Parliament, will be used by the concerned persons in the peace process within the framework of the Central Peace-making Committee and Working Committee," Hla Maung Shwe said on Thursday, referring to the government's two main peace negotiating bodies.
Funding for Burma's peace process has come in for criticism in the past by observers who have urged greater transparency. Total funding the peace process since Thein Sein embarked on an ambitious effort to reconcile with the country's many ethnic groups in 2011 is difficult to estimate. The Myanmar Peace Monitor, a project that tracks the peace process in Burma, said some $500 million was committed to various peace initiatives by mid 2012.
This week an official from the Norway-funded Myanmar Peace Support Initiative (MPSI) said the program was being reviewed to determine whether it remained relevant two years after its launch, during which time the MPSI put $2 million toward dozens of peace initiatives in Burma.
Hla Maung Shwe said the government aims to establish a framework for political dialogue this year, an aspect of the national reconciliation process that ethnic groups have long called for.
Since Thein Sein took office, the government has signed ceasefires with 14 of the country's 16 main armed rebel groups. It hopes to reach a "nationwide ceasefire" with all of the groups in the coming months.
Huge budget for nothing? USDP regime is just dragging its feet. It does not really want to achieve real peace. UNFC has been asking for what the ethnic peoples deserve. At the same time, UNFC's stand is absolutely fit for Democratic Union of Myanmar. Look at the USDP's policy. Their stand is no way close to democracy. It is still just a relic of former military dictatorship. Aung Min and Thein Sein do not have their final say for peace process but Than Shwe and Min Aung Hlaing are still holding absolute power. So, $ 7 million is way too much for a failed peace negotiation program.
"The budget, if approved by the Parliament, will be used by the concerned persons in the peace process within the framework of the Central Peace-making Committee and Working Committee," Hla Maung Shwe said on Thursday."
Who are the "concerned persons" involved in the peace talks and how's the money spent in the name of "Peace"? Will the money be used for transporation, housing, personal allowances for people leading the peace talk? If so, what's the overhead? Will the people who lost their homes, land and everything living along the border benefit from this "national planning budget"? Who's monitoring how this budget is spent?
Dear Sir
The over 20 major armed ethnic groups and another over 10 armed ethnic militia groups have been operating with the support (good will) or cash collection as levy along border trading in the past 60 years including other income from (whatever) trades. Likewise, the Burma's army (Tadmadaw) has been operating the budget from the country (income) that public account is not recorded until 2010. I think, taxation laws is critical to the nation's income and budget allocation. There are over 400000 government's military personals and there are estimated over 60000 ethnic armed personals including ethnic militias. The country is feeding very close to 1.5 millions of armed personal in combined. Peace process shall be looking resource management, finance management and income allocation in each region. Peace process / agreement shall be looking on local economy and access to local development in farm land and other food products. Peace agreement shall be looking options for armed ethnic groups that the ethnic army have access to land, local food products and other skills to rehabilitation and food security. Peace agreement shall be providing space that ethnic armed groups could develop local health, education and economy that enable local population in terms of livelihood. It is a big task that the government, the Tadmadaw and ethnic armed groups' leaders put the nation first and assured security and safety of the population. However, on the contrary, most cease-fire groups have been exploiting the opportunity at the expense of local population whom are poorer than the ethnic armed group. Where is Check and Balance in our own nation?

As 2013 begins, now's a good time to look at the future prospects for the stocks you own. If you don't know where a company's headed in the next year and beyond, then it's impossible to make an informed decision about whether you should add the stock to your portfolio -- or sell it if you already own it.
Today, I'll look at Herbalife (NYSE: HLF ) . The seller of nutritional supplements and weight-management products had put up lackluster numbers through mid-December, but in the past three weeks, the bottom has fallen out of the stock. Below, you'll learn more about Herbalife's prospects for 2013.

Forward P/E
Will Herbalife heal itself in 2013?
Analysts have huge hopes for Herbalife, with a target price that's fully 130% above where the shares currently trade. With solid earnings and revenue growth projected for 2013, the stock's forward P/E of just 7 seems ridiculously cheap.
But in the past few weeks, the fight over Herbalife's legitimacy has gotten red-hot. Short-seller Bill Ackman of Pershing Square Capital Management gave a presentation explaining the rationale of his massive short position, alleging that the company is a pyramid scheme and has zero value for shareholders. Herbalife has promised to answer Ackman's accusations in a presentation scheduled for next Monday, but the market wasn't willing to wait and sent the stock plunging more than 35% in just three days.
Fundamentally, the stock seems poised to capitalize on a popular trend. With obesity drugs from Arena Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: ARNA ) and VIVUS (NASDAQ: VVUS ) getting a lot of attention but not yet creating sales, those looking for weight-loss alternatives have had to go either with nutritional solutions like Herbalife or custom-food programs Weight Watchers (NYSE: WTW ) or NutriSystem (NASDAQ: NTRI ) . Without inquiries from Ackman and David Einhorn casting those figures into doubt, Herbalife would look like a huge value.
Looking forward, a lot will depend on how the company comes off on its analyst day next Monday. Without a strong performance, more selling pressure could send shares even lower.
The future of wellness
Whether it's nutritional supplements or obesity drugs, the potential market for weight-management products is massive. But so are the risks.

RSF Condemns Egypt Interim Government for Arresting Journalists
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has condemned Egypt's military-installed interim government for arresting journalists "affiliated" or "sympathetic" to the Muslim Brotherhood, saying the future of democracy is at risk in the North African country.
"It is unacceptable and dangerous for the future of democracy in Egypt that media and journalists that are … sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood are being constantly targeted by the authorities on the grounds of maintaining public order and national security," said Reporters sans Frontières in a statement released on Wednesday.
"We are very disturbed by a renewed increase in violations of fundamental freedoms, including freedom of information," the statement said.
It also noted that over 10 journalists are currently detained in Egypt, adding that "Most of the detained journalists work or worked for media affiliated …to the Muslim Brotherhood."
Referring to recent closure of the headquarters of Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice newspaper in the capital Cairo, the statement also said that "Arbitrary political decisions to close individual media are being systematically endorsed the courts, something that necessarily raises the question of the judicial system's current independence. The separation of powers is the cornerstone of any system that aspires to be democratic."
On Tuesday, Egyptian security forces shut down the headquarters of the newspaper after an administrative court in Cairo banned all activities of the Muslim Brotherhood as a non-governmental organization (NGO).
The court also ordered the interim government to seize all the funds, assets and headquarters of the Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood Society was founded earlier this year as an NGO. Former Brotherhood leader, Mohamed Mahdi Akef, has been its chairman. The society's leaders are not all from the Muslim Brotherhood or its Freedom and Justice Party.
The Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party won parliamentary and presidential elections after the country's dictator, Hosni Mubarak, was overthrown in 2011 revolution.
Moreover, since the ouster of Mohamed Morsi, Egypt's first democratically elected president, the country has been the scene of demonstrations held by his supporters.
In early July 2013, army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi announced that Morsi, a leading former member of the Muslim Brotherhood, was no longer in office and declared that the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court, Adly Mahmoud Mansour, had been appointed as the new interim president of Egypt. The army also suspended the constitution.
Hundreds of protesters, mostly Morsi's supporters, were killed or wounded during the deadly violence that broke out afterwards.

Deb Schiefer remembers sitting with her husband, Jim, in the doctor's office and hearing the numbing news he would likely live only six months. The cancer in his throat had spread to his liver.
That was two and a half years ago. After rigorous chemotherapy and radiation, Jim is cancer free. And Deb, who exudes gratitude, is signing up for a long-term cancer study she hopes might save others from the kind of grim prognosis that scared her to her core.
"I have to do this," said Schiefer, 53, of Hudsonville. "After you walk in these hard shoes, you don't want anyone else to have to do it. We have to find a cure - an end to this thing."
The American Cancer Society is recruiting West Michigan residents to be part of a nationwide study to help researchers better understand the genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that cause or prevent cancer.
Researchers with the Cancer Prevention Study-3 hope to enroll a diverse population of 300,000 people across the United States.
To enroll, residents must be between the ages of 30 and 65 and never have been diagnosed with cancer. They also must be willing to make a long-term commitment involving brief follow-up surveys at home for the next 20 to 30 years.
Enrollment will take place at the American Cancer Society Hope Lodge, 129 Jefferson Ave. SE, in Grand Rapids between Nov. 1 and Nov. 9.
Make an appointment to enroll by calling toll-free 1-888-604-5888 or visit www.seeuthere.com/cps3enroll/grandrapidsmi
What to expect? You'll provide a waist measurement, give a small blood sample and complete a comprehensive survey online or at the enrollment site. Over the course of the study, participants will be asked to fill out follow-up surveys every few years.
Previous cancer prevention studies by the American Cancer Society have helped to identify major factors that can affect cancer risk: the link between cigarette smoking and lung cancer; the significant impact of being overweight or obese on risk of cancer occurrence and death; the link between aspirin use and reduced risk of colon cancer.
"These studies have really impacted what's known about how cancer develops," said Alpa Patel, principle investigator with the cancer study at the American Cancer Society home office in Atlanta.
Patel hopes this study will unlock even more mysteries. It will combine genetic information from the subjects' blood samples with a wide array of behavioral information, from the exercise they get to the amount of fast food they eat.
Approximately 112,000 people have enrolled in the study so far, Patel said. But few -- 18 percent -- are minorities, and that concerns her.
The goal is to have 25 percent of enrollees from minority populations, which she calls "massively under-represented in these kinds of studies."
They'd like more men to enroll, too, Patel said. They're short of their goal of 35 percent males.
"To put it simply, you can only study people who are in your study," Patel said, and the hope is to represent the entire population.
This research should help show what puts a person at low, medium or high risk for cancer, Patel said.
"We want to learn how to identify cancer earlier, before it's a tumor, when it's most treatable," she said.
Schiefer said she feels compelled to take part, and has convinced at least 10 friends and relatives to sign up, too.
"Cancer is all around," she said. "It affects everybody. Our neighbor passed away from it yesterday.
"Without research, they may not have known what exact chemo cocktail to give Jim to save his life," Schiefer said. "Not a day goes by that we don't count our blessings."
For more information about the study, visit www.cancer.org/cps3 or call (888) 604-5888.

Two Montreal borough mayors are hoping a petition will help convince the government that the new Champlain bridge should have a light rail system.
Verdun Mayor Jean-François Parenteau and Sud-Ouest Mayor Benoit Dorais say there are multiple studies showing LRT are superiour to buses, and they can't wait for the results of yet another study to sway the province into choosing it over adding more buses.
Parenteau says the bridge needs to meet the demands of the future, and an LRT is a better bet in the long term over buses
"It's not only a bridge over the St. Lawrence River, it's a signature for Montreal," he told reporters at a press conference Friday.
However, LRT systems can cost an estimated $2 million, and while the federal government is building the bridge, the province is footing the bill for it and deciding what kind of transit will travel on it.
Ever since the Champlain replacement was announced, the city of Montreal's official opposition and other councillors have voiced a preference for a rail option, with the official opposition party, Projet Montreal, calling for a LRT.
The provincial government says it won't make a decision until next summer.
The petition is currently available on the National Assembly website.
