UNIVERSITY PARK - For the two-time defending NCAA champion Penn State wrestling team, the 2013 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships offer more plot lines than an Alfred Hitchcock movie marathon.
Can the Nittany Lions three-peat?
Can 165-pounder David Taylor and 184-pounder Ed Ruth repeat?

Penn State coach Cael Sanderson looks on as Nittany Lion heavyweight Jimmy Lawson wrestles in the Big Ten championships in Champaign, Ill. Sanderson and his team will be looking for their third-straight national title when all 10 weight classes will be decorated in blue and white at the NCAA tournament, which begins Thursday in Iowa.
Can Taylor finally figure out Cornell's Kyle Dake?
Can 197-pounder Quentin Wright win a second championship at a second weight?
Can 174-pounder Matt Brown repeat his tour de force in the Big Ten Championships and live up to his No. 2 seed?
Can 125-pounder Nico Megaludis make it back to the finals?
Can the Alton twins bounce back from rocky performances at the Big Ten tournament?
One thing is certain: Nittany Lion coach Cael Sanderson is confident in his team, which will contend for its third-straight national championship when the tournament gets under way Thursday in Des Moines, Iowa.
"I believe we'll have our best tournament this weekend, yes. That's just the year-long plan, and making sure the guys are clear on their purpose and remember what we want, and make sure they're going to do it, and very specifically," he said at a press conference Monday. "Then, get out of their way and let them attack their goals."
Who can argue with Sanderson's assessment? Not only are his Nittany Lions gunning for their third title in their coach's fourth year at the helm, they are coming off their third-consecutive Big Ten Conference championship in which they qualified their entire lineup for this week's trip.
Two teams that Penn State outdistanced in the conference race - Minnesota and Iowa - figure to push the Nittany Lions, as well as Oklahoma State. Another PSU title would give it four and put it alone in third place on the team titles won list - behind Oklahoma State's 34 and Iowa's 23. Penn State is currently tied with Minnesota.
Ruth is the clear favorite to win at 184 pounds after winning at 174 last year. Taylor, on the other hand, despite being the defending champion at 165 and the returning Hodge Trophy winner, is seeded second at 165. The No. 1 seed goes to Cornell's Kyle Dake, who last year became the first wrestler in NCAA history to win three titles at three different weights (141, 149 and 157). He moved up to 165 this year and is vying to become just the third four-time champion in the sport's history, joining Sanderson and Oklahoma State's Pat Smith.
The match is so anticipated that the NCAA, in a move that is unprecedented in a tournament that dates back to 1928, announced it will start the championship finals at 174 pounds and wrap up with the anticipated Dake-Taylor showdown at 165.
Wright, who won the 184-pound championship two years ago, lost in the 184-pound final last year to fellow Centre County native Steve Bosak of Cornell and is now at 197, isn't favored to win a second title. He's seeded second behind Kent State's Dustin Kilgore.
"I think that winning the first one is probably the easiest, and it takes a lot of strength and character to come back and win two," Sanderson said. "It's a great challenge, and I'm always excited to see how these guys will respond to difficult circumstances. That's what I enjoy as a coach, to sit back and see what they choose do in situations like this. They're competitors, so I'm not too worried about them, just here to help them."
Brown entered the Big Ten tournament seeded fifth but then roared to the championship. That earned him a No. 2 seed at the NCAA tournament behind No. 1 seed Chris Perry of Oklahoma State.
Megaludis was a surprise finalist last year as a true freshman. This year, he has lost to No. 1 seed Jesse Delgado of Illinois and two-time champion Matt McDonough of Iowa. Those two are seeded second and third, respectively, behind No. 1 Alan Waters of Missouri. Megaludis is fourth.
Dylan Alton is seeded eighth at 157 after placing third a year ago. Andrew Alton, who finished one win short of earning All-America status two years ago, is seeded 11th at 149.
Andrew Alton said that loss haunts him still.
"I think about that match almost every day," he admitted. "What could I have done to be an All-American? It's a new year and a new tournament and I'm motivated."
As are, Sanderson said, all of the Nittany Lions.
"Well, we have some great veterans obviously and guys with a lot of experience and confidence, and great poise, and that rubs off on the guys that haven't been there, and these guys have wrestled in big matches," he said. "It's a lot tougher to wrestle in Rec Hall than it is to wrestle at the national championships, so our guys are prepared to go, it's just a matter of what they choose to do now."
Notes: Along with the Nittany Lions, two Mifflin County natives are headed to the tournament. Lewistown graduate Matt Snyder will make his third straight NCAA appearance in his final campaign after finishing third at 125 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Tyler Bedelyon, a junior at Clarion who graduated from Indian Valley, was an at-large selection at 149.

Surprisingly little attention has been accorded to the fortunes of Cesar in Europe during the early modern period. As far as French studies are concerned, although Cardinal Grenteís famous Dictionnaire des lettres franÁaises devotes a few pages to the images of Caesar in medieval literature, nothing is said about the representation of the Emperor during the 16th, 17th and 18th-centuries. Nevertheless, like Augustus or Alexander, Caesar remains a key reference for the intellectual history and political thought of early modern Europe. Yet, there is a gradual shift around the 1600s: to take but two French examples, if a laudatory Devise du grand Henry IV oý il est comparť ŗ Cťsar, et les guerres de la Ligue avec celle de Cťsar et de Pompťe was published in Utrecht in 1598, we find in 1652 a Parisian Mazarinade pejoratively entitled Les curieuses recherches faites sur la vie de Jules Cťsar, pour montrer les conformitťs de Mazarin avec les vices de ce Romain. These two texts show that political representations associated with Caesar have greatly mutated: a symbol of clemency in the Renaissance, the Emperor tends to be considered a usurper after the end of the sixteenth century. The fortune of his self-promoting Commentarii is also indicative of this negative evolution. With not less than 134 editions of this book between 1450 and 1599, Caesar, according to Peter Burke, stands as the most famous and the most published historian of the Antiquity throughout Europe in the sixteenth century, whereas only 55 editions were issued in the seventeenth century.
Such a crucial evolution of Caesarí image has never been studied and this Conference aims to analyse the causes and consequences of such a decline in popularity. Among questions raised are the following:
ē Who is Caesar associated with? Which virtues are components of modern images of Caesar: magnanimity, mercy, ambition, usurpation? Are there similar phenomena in the different European countries?
ē What kind of political, ideological or intellectual aims may explain these images?
ē How can shifts in representations be described? Is this an evenly-spread phenomenon throughout Europe?
ē Can such an evolution be explained by the gradual introduction of absolute monarchy? Is there a parallel shift at the end of the eighteenth-century?
ē Is such an evolution linked to a better historiographical understanding of the Ancient world?
ē Who are the new heroes replacing Caesar as a model king, and why?
ē What is the impact of this evolution on literature and the arts?
We invite 250-word proposals in French or English. They should be sent, with a brief vitae, before the 15th of November 2006, to: firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com

The 120th Calcutta Cup is set to reignite a fierce English-Scottish rivalry that dates back to the heyday of the British Empire
January 29 2013
Jamie Reid
The 120th Calcutta Cup match between England and Scotland takes place at Twickenham on Saturday February 2. The venerable prize, presented annually to the winner of the Six Nations clash between the two countries, is one of the most famous in sport and dates back to the heyday of the British Empire.
On Christmas Day in 1872, a group of Englishmen living in Calcutta played a game of rugby against a like-minded assortment of Scotsmen, Irishmen and Welshmen. The contest continued for the next few years but India was hardly the ideal climate for rugby, so in 1879 the game moved to Britain and became enshrined as an annual face-off between the English and the Scots. To add spice to the proceedings, the Calcutta Rugby Football Club, as the founders were known, donated a trophy made of 270 melted-down silver rupee coins. The resulting cup, fashioned by Indian craftsmen, is beautiful and unique, featuring an elephant on the lid and handles in the shape of king cobras.
Unfortunately, it hasn't always been treated with the respect it deserves and was damaged in 1988 after a group of players decided to use it as the ball in an impromptu late-night game in Princes Street, Edinburgh, following the Calcutta Cup dinner. It was the sort of inebriated prank that would be severely frowned on in the professional era and nowadays the winners, like Ashes-winning cricketers, have to make do with a replica trophy. But if you are going to Twickenham, you can see the original on display in the Museum of Rugby. It will be exhibited there as long as England hold the cup and, as their supporters won't need reminding, they've held it since 2009. All told, the Red Rose Army have won 66 of the encounters between the two nations, with 39 victories for Scotland and 14 draws – a statistic that rankles mightily with some fans north of the border. As far as they are concerned, beating England at any activity, from rugby to synchronised swimming, is the only thing that counts, and Andy Murray's British Olympic Gold hasn't tempered their nationalistic fervour one bit.
But most of the spectators at Twickenham on Saturday will be determined to enjoy the occasion whatever the outcome. The Calcutta Cup is one of the biggest corporate entertainment events in the sporting calendar, not least for the management and guests of the Royal Bank of Scotland, which sponsors the Six Nations and is a partner of the Scottish Rugby Union – and, of course, was bailed out by the British taxpayer in 2008.
English supporters will no doubt remind the Scots – good humouredly, I'm sure – that, far from beating the old colonial oppressors, they can't even beat Tonga, suffering a humiliating 21-to-15 defeat by the South Sea Islanders in Aberdeen last November. Scotland's former head coach Andy Robinson, an Englishman by birth, resigned after that game, and I suggested in my November 9 column having a wager on the Scots to finish bottom of the Six Nations table, at 3-1.
But for an outright winner, however, I am going to bypass England, despite their sensational victory over the All Blacks in December, and opt for France, who look a cut above their Anglo Saxon and Celtic rivals this year and can be backed at 2-1 on Betfair.

Black Potatoes: The Story Of The Great Irish Famine, 1845-1850by Susan Campbell Bartoletti
In 1845, a disaster struck Ireland. Overnight, a mysterious blight attacked the potato crops, turning the potatoes black and destroying the only real food of nearly six million people.

 Over the next five years, the blight attacked again and again. These years are known today as the Great Irish Famine, a time when one million people died from starvation and disease and two million more fled their homeland.
 Black Potatoes is the compelling story of men, women, and children who defied landlords and searched empty fields for scraps of harvested vegetables and edible weeds to eat, who walked several miles each day to hard-labor jobs for meager wages and to reach soup kitchens, and who committed crimes just to be sent to jail, where they were assured of a meal. It's the story of children and adults who suffered from starvation, disease, and the loss of family and friends, as well as those who died. Illustrated with black and white engravings, it's also the story of the heroes among the Irish people and how they held on to hope.

She becomes a nanny for the children of a labor activist, and quickly finds herself caught up in a web of intrigue and lies. Then, when a familiar figure from home arrives, Pringle begins to piece together the devastating mystery of what happened to her parents, and realizes just how deadly the truth might be. But soon, one of the greatest disasters this country has ever known -- the Great Fire of Chicago -- flares up, and Pringle is on the run for her life.

They Called Themselves the K.K.K.by Susan Campbell Bartoletti
Boys, let us get up a club.

This is the story of how a secret terrorist group took root in America's democracy. Filled with chilling and vivid personal accounts unearthed from oral histories, congressional documents, and diaries, this account from Newbery Honor-winning author Susan Campbell Bartoletti is a book to read and remember. A YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults Finalist.
The Untold History of the United States, Volume 1by Susan Campbell Bartoletti Oliver Stone Peter Kuznick
A people's history of the American Empire, adapted for the next generation of young history buffs.There is history as we know it. And there is history we should have known. Adapted by Newbery Honor recipient Susan Campbell Bartoletti from the bestselling book (and companion to the Showtime documentary) The Untold History of the United States by Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone and renowned historian Peter Kuznick, this first of four volumes presents young readers with a powerful and provocative look at the past century of American imperialism. This is not the kind of history taught in schools or normally presented on television or in popular movies. This riveting young readers' edition challenges prevailing orthodoxies to reveal the dark reality about the rise and fall of the American empire for curious, budding historians who are hungry for the truth. Based on the latest archival findings and recently declassified information, this four-volume series will come as a surprise to the vast majority of students and their teachers--and that's precisely why these books are such crucial counterpoints to today's history textbooks. Complete with photos, illustrations, and little-known documents, this first of four volumes covers crucial moments in American history from the late nineteenth century to the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — In the 1993 movie "In the Line of Fire," the villain portrayed by John Malkovich crafts a plastic gun to try to kill the president.
With 3-D printers increasingly able to produce plastic weapons, that possibility is no longer purely science fiction.
"Anyone with a thousand dollars can make one of these plastic guns that are undetectable as they go through metal detectors," Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday.
While the Republican-controlled House on Tuesday passed a new 10-year ban on firearms that that can evade metal detectors and X-ray machines, some Senate Democrats say that bill is flawed. A loophole in the legislation would make plastic guns legal by adding a removable piece of metal to the handle, Schumer said.
"That's very dangerous because if you can remove the metal at the last minute, put the gun through the metal detector, it'll get through and could create mayhem," Schumer told reporters in Midtown Manhattan, including WCBS 880's Marla Diamond.
The House bill was passed "at the behest of the most extreme elements of the far right," Schumer said.
Schumer wants to amend the law to mandate that metal be a permanent part of the gun. But time is running out — the Senate returns from vacation Dec. 9, the same day the current law expires.

slater, run a search on Phoenix gunstores. I know denfoote and a few others put some info out on stores a few months ago.
If it was Tucson I could give you the 411.;)
September 27, 2003, 10:57 PM
Legendat Guns, on 19th ave and Colter is a great little shop. Great service.
Shooter's World is high on my list.
American Sportsman on Camelback & 7th ave is also very good.
September 27, 2003, 11:12 PM
I Shooter's World still around? I got my first shotgun from there, but I'd heard it was closed.
September 28, 2003, 12:59 AM
Mandalls in Scotssdale. Best prices, nicest people. :)
September 28, 2003, 02:39 AM
In my experience Mandalls has the highest prices in town - rent on Scottsdale road must be a killer.
Lone Wolf has good deals, and Legendary Guns is a classic. Arizona Firearm and Pawn has some reasonable deals and Pistol Parlor is pretty good as well. The real AZ place to go is J&G in Prescott, but they are on my ugly list right now because they want ID when you buy ammo (tinfoil hat alert).
I have had good gunsmithing experience at Legendary and Weapon Works.
September 28, 2003, 03:44 AM
Bear Arms in Scottsdale -- nicest and most knowledgeable people, my favorite. Not the cheapest, but great selection ( 1911s ! ).
Scottsdale Gun Center; Lone Wolf Trading Company ( Glendale) -- lowest Prices, decent selection!
Mandell's -- most expensive place in town. Sales people are friendly, but only if they happen to agree with you. Beware if you are trying to disagree!
Tourists love it there -- class III selection! That place is definitely unique. Underground range!
Arizona Sportsman: 2 or 3 locations. Nice stuff, great sales -- unfortunately always just sold last item that was on sale when I get there... hm. Rumors are they are struggling.
Shooters World: If you are a member you can buy 1 gun per year at (their) cost. Unfortunately their cost is a lot higher than Scottsdale Gun Center's retail price ( I just price checked on a SIG 220 ST). Bummer!
There are some others: G&S Gun Room in Apache Junction ( no sales tax). Pistol Parlor in Mesa. Legendary Arms ( nice place - lots of Colt SAA stuff - iif you're into antiques and Cowboy Action Shooting, you'll love it there ).
There are definitely a lot more gun stores in the valley - but those are the ones I can come up with right now. Also plenty of Pawn shops that double as FFL dealers ( but double check their prices, you don't want to buy something used for more money than some other place sells it for new).
September 28, 2003, 04:29 AM
I've been buying guns in the Phoenix area for the past 20 years and this is what I have found:
Lonewolf in west Phx. has great prices but a limited selection. They seem to concentrate on Glocks and Ruger semi autos. If they do have what you want the price will be right. Service is ok but not personalized and they have had a few of the typical gun store commando types working there over the years. They also have a discount store feel - move em in and move em out. I have a friend that bought many many guns from them and never seemed to be really appreciated. I have also bought maybe a half dozen guns from them and feel the same way.
Legendary Guns specializes in Cowboy Action Shooting but also has a good overall selection and has a loyal following of customers that just like to hang out and shoot the bull. Prices are for the most part considerably higher than some places but they will negotiate. I have been able to get a few decent deals there but no real bargains. They do take their time with you and have a friendly knowledgeable staff, no gun store commandos.
The Sportsman, with three locations, runs some decent sales and is ok on prices in general but not great. Service has always been professional and courteous. They used to own Shooters World but sold it and now is owned by Arizona Tactical.
Arizona Tactical is competitive, neither over priced or discounted heavily and seems to be growing in selection. Nice staff to deal with.
Bear Arms in Scottsdale has the best handgun selection around and has very competitive overall prices. They also have a terrific selection of accessories. Very professional and helpful staff for the most part. I took a friend in there recently to buy his first gun and they treated him very fairly.
Pistol Parlour in Mesa has good prices and friendly staff. Not a big store so their selection is limited but definitely worth a look if you live in that area.
Mesa Gun Shop usually has one of the better selections of used handguns at very reasonable prices.
Mandall's in Scottsdale is in my opinion way overpriced. Ysr_racer, I'm glad that you have had good experiences there. An example that comes to mind is when I bought my second generation Glock 23 from Lonewolf several years ago for $399 was selling at Mandall's for close to $600. They use to have one of the largest and most interesting selelctions of guns but I haven't been in there for a long time due to their pricing structure.
There is a new one called Scottsdale Gun Center that is managed by the guy that had Machine Gun Kelly's and they have some great prices. I haven't been in their store yet but did run into them at the last gun show.
Bottomline for me is when I know what I want I always call Lonewolf first to see if they have it and get their price, which is usually the best, and then check with a couple of others. A recent example is my last gun purchase was a S&W 640 Centennial. Lonewolf had them for $399 but they were the newer ones with the internal lock which I really didn't want so I began calling around. I found a new pre lock version at Legendary Guns but they wante $509 for it. I was able to negotiate it to $459 and bought it at that price. A little steep but I got what I wanted and it was worth it to me. Mike
September 28, 2003, 04:59 AM
I dropped by Shooter's World last month, and was shocked at how much it changed between 1994 (my last visit) and now.
Firearm selection is pitifull, compared to the way it used to be, and they closed the paintball stuff. And the sheer amount of clothing.....
I used to go in there for hours, just to gaze at the size of the place (and all those guns!). This last time, I stayed for 5 minutes, and left.
Those Sportsman stores look almost exactly like the Turner's stores in Sothern California. Or at least they used to.
September 28, 2003, 11:09 AM
A little store called Randall's on 51st Ave. and Olive, their prices are competitive but they really excell at service, the people are always knowledgable and helpful to me.
September 28, 2003, 11:14 AM
.45Ruger, you are absolutely correct on Randall's. I forgot about them in my list. Mike
September 28, 2003, 01:16 PM
Mandall's in Scottsdale is in my opinion way overpriced. Ysr_racer, I'm glad that you have had good experiences there.
Sorry, I forgot to add the :) to my post.
September 28, 2003, 05:26 PM
Another very positive vote for Randalls in Glendale. Great customer service and willing to special order at a reasonable price. I try to get my accessories here.
Scottsdale Gun Center and Lone Wolf are best on prices. When you go to Scottsdale GC just remember to take some Paxil for Steve, as he is an excitable boy; but he will give you a great deal. Overall my favorite place to buy. Lone Wolf's people are good, just that they work for the high turnover of their merchandise and you can sometimes get lost in the shuffle, as they do pack in the customers. Almost always crowded.
AZ Tactical/Shooters World are coming up. They are trying to increase their firearms line and have a good selection of items, mostly geared toward LEO and self defense. I agree about their "at cost" pricing for members one-gun-a-year purchase. Can almost always find it cheaper at SGC or LW.
Bear Arms for the best on hand selection at moderate prices. You probably won't get a smokin' deal, but you will get a fair price. And they will most likely have it in stock so you can fondle before you buy.
Mandalls. I can't see why they're still around. High prices and mediocre service every time I've been in there. Great selection though. Just what is their secret?
Silver Bullet
September 28, 2003, 05:47 PM
I think their "secret" is that they're one of the few places that rents machine guns.
Bear Arms has become my favorite. I also like Lone Wolf, but they wouldn't give me the price I wanted when I tried to buy a new one while trading in an older one. When I did that at Bear Arms, I was pleased with the price they gave me on the old one.

Please God, Not Another Blue-Ribbon Panel
The first item on a modern secretary of state's to-do list these days appears to be establishing a high-level review that promises to change the way America conducts diplomacy. Colin Powell launched the Diplomatic Readiness Initiative. Condoleezza Rice bundled her reforms under the broad banner of "Transformational Diplomacy." Hillary Clinton conducted the first-ever Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review (QDDR), modeled on similar efforts at the Pentagon. One can only imagine that the next secretary of state will feel inclined to conduct a second QDDR, or roll out another high-profile effort to reform the State Department's archaic bureaucracy.
All of these reviews were conducted because of a realization by respective secretaries of state — Republicans and Democrats alike — that America's foreign policy architecture is poorly structured to meet the demands of the very dynamic world around us.

Cavallotto Barolo Vignolo Riserva 2008
$99.95 Regular
97 points Wine Spectator: "A rich, dense version, with power and beefy tannins supporting the cherry, wild herb, eucalyptus and tea notes. Tight and bursting with latent energy, so give this more time. Shows excellent length and resonance on the finish, which hints at the ultimate potential here. Best from 2018 through 2036."
Wine Advocate: "I continue to be deeply impressed with the wines that are emerging from this family-owned property in Castiglione Falletto. Cavallotto makes their Barolos in an updated traditional style that has produced compelling results, especially over the last few years. Cavallotto is one of Piedmont�s best kept secrets, and not just for Barolo. Their entry-level wines offer superb quality for the money. Incidentally, I have seen a fair amount of 2000 and 2001 Barolo Bricco Boschis Riserva Vigna San Giuseppe on the US market recently at what are very fair prices, to put it mildly. Readers with access to those wines should run, not walk, as a number of recent bottles have been spectacular, especially for the money."

FINGER-pointing was the order of the day at the Marikana commission of inquiry on Monday, where the South African Police Service (SAPS) blamed Lonmin for the deaths of 34 striking miners shot by police officers on August 16.
The opening statements gave the first glimpse of the explanation the police will offer for their deadly response to the illegal strike at the platinum mine, and their version of events was immediately questioned by lawyers representing other parties.
Ishmael Semenya SC, counsel for the SAPS, said the tragedy could have been avoided if all parties had kept to their roles. "Evidence will show that in July 2012 Lonmin struck a deal with workers outside the bargaining processes," he said.
When the engagement between the striking workers and Lonmin reached a breaking point, the company refused to negotiate with the workers on their wage demands.
"This inconsistent approach must have sent mixed messages to protesters," he said.
Lonmin had created a beast that it later found impossible to tame, Mr Semenya said.
Karel Tip SC, for the National Union of Mineworkers, agreed that Lonmin's " unilateral" negotiations with workers undermined agreed processes.
Schalk Burger, for Lonmin, told the inquiry that the area where the shooting occurred was under the control of the SAPS.
Tim Bruinders SC, for the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, said its president, Joseph Mathunjwa, had tried to arrange a meeting between Lonmin and the strikers — at the request of the workers — without success. He said that on August 16, Mr Mathunjwa went to the strikers' gathering place on a koppie near the mine and informed them that Lonmin was not prepared to negotiate. After he left, the police arrived and shot the workers.
George Bizos SC, for the Legal Resources Centre, said the force used by the police on August 16 was not sanctioned by any of South Africa's laws, or the constitution. "We have not seen any evidence of any policeman being shot at on the 16th," he said.
Mr Bizos asked who took the decision to use live ammunition.
Dumisa Ntsebeza, representing 21 families of those killed at Marikana, said they called on the commission to make a finding that their family members were unlawfully killed by the SAPS. He said that before the shooting, there appeared to be no direct order issued by the police for the strikers to disperse, nor was any ultimatum given to them.
"After what was described as a show of force, the SAPS sought to encircle and entrap workers and block the miners' likely dispersal route to the Nkaneng informal settlement," Mr Ntsebeza said.
"It was this event, and this event alone, which precipitated the movement of strikers off the mountain. They had no choice but to move down the mountain." In those circumstances, death and injury were predictable, he said.
"Less predictable is that some of these miners were shot in the back while they were charging at the police. The use of automatic rifles is surprising, especially despite lack of evidence that workers were carrying heavy arms," he said.
Mr Ntsebeza asked the commission to put on evidence to show that the timing and the manner of the SAPS response was "aggressive, misguided, disproportionate, unreasonable and unlawful".
He said the families believed that Lonmin should also take blame for the shootings, as they consistently refused to meet their striking workers — even after indications that there could be violence.
"Whether or not meeting with Lonmin would have averted the deaths, we will never know," Mr Ntsebeza said.

Another piece of the Charleston peninsula could go smoke-free if College of Charleston students get their way.
The schools Student Government Association last week voted 14-8 in support of a resolution to make the campus tobacco-free. But on the same day, the schools Faculty Senate voted against a similar resolution with a 15-14 vote. The students proposal now moves to college administrators, who will decide whether to consider it.
If the plan is approved, the college would join the city of Charleston in banning smoking across a section of downtown.
City Council earlier this month outlawed smoking on pubic sidewalks, streets and inside parked cars for several blocks around Roper Hospital and the Medical University of South Carolina.
Student Government Association President Erica Arbetter said student leaders proposed the resolution after a poll this year found 80 percent of students were in favor of a ban.
There is no safe exposure to tobacco and theres no place for it on a college campus, she said. Theres only one right thing to do.
The colleges current policy allows smoking in designated outdoor areas, Arbetter said, but smokers simply dont comply with the policy. Students smoke outside those areas all the time, she said.
Lynn Cherry, Speaker of the Faculty, said the Faculty Senates narrow defeat of the ban represented concerns about how the policy would be enforced and how it would impact pedestrian and vehicular traffic that moved across the urban campus everyday.
One of the questions and issues raised related to what is considered College of Charleston property and what is the city of Charleston property, she said.
Jeri Cabot, the colleges dean of students, said the students resolution will be passed on to Victor Wilson, executive vice president for student affairs, who will review it.
He then will decide whether to bring it to a team of administrators for consideration, and possibly to create a policy.
Arbetter is hoping they do. Many students start smoking in college, she said.
By allowing a culture of tobacco, youre perpetuating a problem. Banning tobacco is part of the solution.
She knows that the policy will face opposition from some students, she said. About 50 of them showed up to voice their concerns on the day her group voted in favor of pushing for the ban.
But she hopes college administrators move quickly to approve it.
I hope they do everything in their power to put the policy in effect by fall 2013.

Mark Burnett
If viewers thought eating squiggly bugs and roasted rats was tough duty, just wait until the second season of Survivor premieres Jan. 28 on CBS (immediately following the Super Bowl). According to the show's creator and producer Mark Burnett, 33, the levels of torment reached new heights in the Australian Outback, where the series was shot. "It got really, really bad," he says. "There was enormous suffering."
Contestants on Survivor I's Pulau Tiga got extra rice when rations ran low. But the Down Under cast of eight men and eight women had no such luck. "There wasn't any negotiating on food without some major pain," says Burnett, a Brit who lives in Malibu with his wife and children.
Forced to eat an entire cow (tail and tongue included), the Survivor II crew also had to contend with scorpions, snakes, spiders, crocodiles and, of course, each other. "I've personally lived the anguish and conflicts between groups in the outdoors," says Burnett. "The effects humans have on each other are huge."
It's this interaction that attracts viewers, says Burnett, who is also creating a combat series for the USA Network. But, he cautions, Survivor isn't reality. "It is dramality: unscripted nonfiction drama. With real people."
Can this new bunch "outwit, outplay, outlast" the original cast? "They are very, very different," Burnett teases, "but no less compelling."

Burma, thanks to the polish of political reforms, has taken on a golden sheen in the eyes of investors and analysts. The realities on the ground are sobering, however, not least for electricity. Factory owners in Rangoon have begun the year with daily power cuts which may worsen as the dry season drags on.
Supply can only meet half of anticipated demand, according to the Ministry of Electric Power. The national connection rate is 26 percent for a population estimated at about 60 million by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). In the countryside, home to 40 million people, only 16 percent are connected to the power grid.
The shortage of power is probably the biggest single impediment to development. It is also an incredible opportunity which should be the envy of countries which have marched ahead of Burma. The lack of infrastructure leaves the door open to developing an electricity system which leverages advances in community power production using clean energy resources such as sunlight, farm wastes, biomass and geothermal.
The distributed power approach is gaining ground fast in developed and developing countries. Upfront costs can be high and subsidies are often provided, but then prices for carbon power are also shaped by subsidies, too. For example, from Germany to California rooftop solar is booming. So much so that the Institute for Local Self-Reliance estimates almost 10 percent of electricity in the US could be produced by unsubsidized distributed solar generation, mostly on rooftops, by 2022.
Meanwhile, people in villages across Bangladesh and India are finally switching on LED lights and more after decades of waiting in vain for the electricity grid. While they waited, technology and business changed. Locally produced electricity from clean energy resources is now cheaper than candles, batteries or kerosene.
In India, Gram Power, Mera Gao Power and Omnigrid Micropower are developing village microgrids. Initially a few solar panels or biomass digesters are set up as a village power plant. Because the systems are modular, more power sources can be added as demand grows from basic needs to developing livelihoods, using machinery to increase production and add value. Microgrids also power mobile phone base stations which formerly relied on diesel generators.
Simpa Networks takes a different approach, turning homes into power plants in India. Simpa sells solar home systems on flexible installment plans. In Bangladesh, aid donors led by the World Bank have provided financing of US $370 million for Grameen Shakti to apply the approach at scale. Over a million solar home systems have been installed. A thousand more are added each day.
The economics of these models look favorable for Burma. Electricity from Gram Power in India, for example, costs $1.37 a month, whereas previously households were spending $3.66 on kerosene. In Burma, the European Union Energy Initiative (EUEI) and Mercy Corps, in separate field studies, found solar lanterns and solar home systems, sold in markets for $10 to $300. The return on that investment can work out to savings of 80 percent over 10 years, given mean monthly spending of about $10 on candles and batteries.
Upfront cost is beyond the reach of many in Burma, where one of every four people lives below the poverty line and mean annual GDP per capita is $859, according to the ADB. Therefore, one limit on opportunity in Burma will be the availability of finance to provide systems on credit at a price no more than what would otherwise be spent on candles and batteries. While that is unlikely to be straightforward, experience in Bangladesh and India shows household or village power systems can be financed.
The opportunity may be as promising if not more so among customers who are suffering unreliable supply from the grid. Distributed power, particularly solar, could be a competitive alternative to diesel generators widely used for power backup by households and firms connected to the grid.
Experiences in Bangladesh and India prove that distributed power can be fast, affordable and simple to deploy in contrast to centralized power generation in developing countries. Granted, the volume of power from household power systems or village power plants is a trickle relative to what large power plants can deliver. But for people with zero electricity just a little makes a huge difference. Electric lights are better for reading and studying. Electricity connects people via the media and telephones to information and opportunities.
Distributed power produced from clean energy resources also provides several collateral benefits. One, the damage and costs of environmental, social, health and security externalities arising from centralized large hydro or carbon power systems can be reduced. Two, generating and buying power locally may mean less money leaks out of the local economy. Three, a reduction in vulnerability to the supply risks associated with carbon energy plus the impacts of global decarbonisation measures.
So what does the growing global trend for distributed power mean for Burma? First, it demonstrates that a few distributed power pilots plus dozens of local commercial initiatives in Burma are onto something. Second, electricity could expand further and faster than it has in other countries which developed earlier, conferring considerable economic, environmental and social advantages. Third, government policy and aid donors have a model to follow and adapt. Finally, commercial or social investors should be able to reduce their risks because they can learn from experiences elsewhere.
Whether Burma grasps the opportunity or continues with existing plans to continue to develop centralized power only remains to be seen. However, there are reasons to think distributed power could take off. One, distributed electricity matches the government's goals for power self-sufficiency, renewability and diversity. Two, preliminary assessments by the EUEI and United Nations Development Program during 2012 suggest aid donors are evaluating options for assisting distributed power in Burma. Three, the ADB and Norway are providing technical assistance for an electricity bill which would among other things provide a legal basis for distributed power generation. Finally, investment and banking reforms will in due course make doing business a little easier.
As in any underdeveloped country, investment and development are going to face obstacles, though some of those obstacles may fall were the government to actively promote the approach with a targeted policy. Nevertheless, the opportunity to deploy tried-and-tested models at scale may be enough for pioneer investors, particularly people strongly motivated to deliver social impact, to make a move on the power frontier. The prospects for power have never been brighter.

There is one free energy source that author fail to describe in his article, and I will fill in to that point. In western countries and Australia, there are some techno geak testing "Magnetic field" into mechanical energy and than transform into electricity. I have seen a few promising design which can produce up to 20 KW with home made magnetic motor. The concept was base on Badeny design and Perendev design. I have a plan to built a small scale with a friend in this comming summer, Readers can browse on Google and utube about Perendev's magnetic motor and free magnetic energy. The cost to built magnetic motor is much cheaper than Biogas plant or even Solar pannels and batteries. Batteries are problems in Burma to use solar energy. I studied some basic knowledge about batteries not long ago. Economically, Lead Acid batteries are still the cheapest. There are 2 different kind of batteries (1) Shallow circle batteries and (2) Deep circle batteries. Shallow circle batteries are the one use in Cars and any mortors connected with batteries. Shallow circle batteries' lead plates are thin because batteries are used to start the mortors. As soon as mortor is start running, batteries are recharged by alternators. (2) Deep circle batteries on the other hand is built with thick lead plates to store more electrical energy and to release store energy at slower rate than shallow circle batteries. So, deep circle batteries are more appropriate to use for home energy supply. Lithium-Ion batteries or Li-Ion batteries are more expensive compare to lead acid batteries, but Li-Ion batteries are low maintainence, last longer and easy to transport. There is a new kind of batteries invented by an American Professor. The battery is called "Liquid Metal Battery" and some smart people believe that liquid metal batteries are the future batteries. Liquid metal batteries are cheap to built and just 1 battery can supply energy to a lot of homes. If readers want to know more about the information that I share here, please google it or go to Wikipedia page and find more detail informations. Burma is in the right situaton for off grid self sufficient energy society. Technologies are out there, what kind of Burma we want to built and what kind of help the government will provide to have enough energy for every home in Burma?

Enhance Golden Tones In Hair With Serge Normant Meta Blonde Reviving Shampoo & Conditioner! » -
Shop the full Serge Normant collection here!
There's nothing worse than a blonde gone orange six weeks after color. Instead of golden flax it starts to resemble the color of rust. For those who can't afford to get their color touched up so often it's a great idea to start incorporating hair products that will keep your hair color rich and vibrant like Serge Normant's Meta Blonde Reviving Shampoo & Conditioner.
Blondes or blondes and brunettes with highlights will get the best results from these products while pale or platinum blondes should shy away unless you're wanting to add a warmer tone. The shampoo contains shimmering gold enhancers to enhance gold tones and cedar bark extract to increase shine and luster. While also being a color enhancer, the conditioner is also deeply hydrating with jojoba and coconut oil. Leave the conditioner on for 1-15 minutes to increase golden color intensity.
«Amazing Creme & Wet Eyeliners! -
I much prefer liquid or creamy based eyeliners than powder. For one, I've had a bad run with powder eyeshadows when I try to be wet my brush and attempt to turn them into a wetter consistency for lining. Although some powder shadows are meant to be able to do this, I still find that after I draw my line, tiny powder particles seem to land on my upper cheeks throughout the day. As I'm constantly touching my face, there have been some smudging 'accidents that make me look I'm going out for the football team. Luckily for me, we just got in some amazing new eyeliners in store!
Kevyn Aucoin's Precision Liquid Liner comes with a felt tip applicator for easy lining or more daredevil accuracy for a dramatic cat eye. It's also waterproof so will hold onto your eyelids for dear life, come rain, sleet, sweat or snow. As it's a quick drying formulation, there's no need for you to not blink for two minutes nor fan your eyes (come on ladies we've all been there).
There's no point investing in a creme liner without knowing you're going to be applying it with an amazing brush. EF | STUDIO's Creme Eye Liner & Precision Point Liner Brush has everything you need for $40. The double ended liner brush is one of the finest engineered brushes on the market making it effortless to apply creamy or water based eye products. The Creme Eye Liner in Kuro has the most luxurious feel and will work for all skin types. It can be used to create sleek, sexy lines or it doubles as a great shadow to create the iconic smoky eye. No smudging, flaking or streaking!
I'm very excited to enhance my eye area with the EF | STUDIO Eye Gloss Transparent which I'm hoping is a much less stickier and tackier version than Mac's Eye Glass. I love the dewy, sensual finish it leaves on your eyes, but not the feeling that your eyelids are stuck. With EF | STUDIO's, it contains moisturizing properties to preserve the natural suppleness of the eye area so it leaves a beautiful wet look to lids without the stick!

As the page turns on 2012, soccer fans in Italy can go into the new year confident that their national team had turned a corner in their efforts to rebuild themselves, following the debacle at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The Azzurri overcame yet another major match-fixing scandal—the second in six years to hit the country—to surprise everyone and make it to the finals at Euro 2012. Though they fell to defending champions Spain 4-0, the match was much closer than the score, and the Italians could walk out with their heads held high.
They immediately started working towards their next objective: qualification for the World Cup in Brazil.
The results so far have been positive: Three wins and a draw out of their first four matches have put the Italians on top of a tricky Group B, four points clear of their nearest opponents.
The year was so successful that despite friendly defeats to the United States, Russia, England and France, the Italians finished the year fourth in the FIFA World Rankings, a place they have maintained through the first month of 2013.
But what should we expect of them through the next 11?
Let's take a closer look at the coming year for the Azzurri.

Walt submitted a wonderful personal experience relating to his long career in both the military and in amateur radio. We are printing this story exactly as Walt sent it to us.
In 1933 I went to the Federal Radio Commission in New York for my radio license. I took the test and was issued my first license, W2FPM. The FCC took over later on. My first transmitter was a single 45 tube with copper tubing from Pep Boys Automotive Store. The receiver was made from parts bought at Radio Row in New York.
World War II found me getting training at M.P. replacement center in Fort Ontario, NY. QST was running an "In the Services" column so I sent in my nameto let my friends know where I was. I received a letter from Charles A. Service, Jr., Assistant Secretary of the ARRL asking me what I was doing in the Military Police and if I wanted a change to the Signal Corps, he would take care of it. With basic training, getting up at day break and drilling until dark, I never got a chance to answer him.
I am grateful for amateur radio. When I finished my basic training, I wound up on a pier in New York City. The first morning at roll call, I was told to pack my bag and I would be leaving. An officer in a Jeep came along and drove me direct to Ft. Monmouth in New Jersey. Charles A. Service and the League had done their work. Arriving at the Fort, I went from Pfc to T/5. After a few weeks in high speed code class, I was given a T/4 and shipped to the Brooklyn, New York Army Base for Ship Radio Operators.
The S.S. ARGENTINA was my first ship. I was assigned as first radio operator. We sailed in convoy from New York to Liverpool in England. I sailed on various ships. The toughest assignment was a 100 foot sea-going Tug Boat. Lucky the radio room was very small and I could keep watch on 500 KHz by bracing my foot against the bulkhead. The good part was that no self-respecting submarine would waste a torpedo on us. When I got back to New York I was able to get over to the Federal Building and get my First Class Telegraph Operator License, as I had 6 months sea time.
M.S. Saturnia, the world's largest motor ship was converted to a Hospital Ship and renamed the Francis Y. Slanger. I was assigned as chief radio operator mainly because of my amateur radio background and technical experience and promoted to a Technical Sergeant.
Knowledge of the code was essential. With radio silence during the war, most of the communication was by Blinker light. This job was supposed to be done by the ship's First Mates but they were pretty rusty on the code so this job felkl to me.
On our first trip to Southampton, England, the following headline on July 11, 1945 in the ECHO: "LUXURY LINER AS HOSPITAL SHIP CARRYING CASUALTIES FROM SOUTHAMPTON."
The former Italian luxury liner Saturnia, converted in the United States into the world's largest hospital ship, embarked 1500 American casualties at her berth in Southampton's new docks. On completion of loading, the vessel (now named the United States Army Hospital Ship Francis Y. Slanger) will make the return trip to America - her first with casualties since the conversion. The 24,470 ton 631 foot long former liner made the crossing from New York in 9 days. Her twin screws gave her a speed of approximately 19 knots.
We left the Southampton dock on July 12, 1945, headed for the English Channel but only got as far as the Isle of Wight. Up in the hills of Cowes was a bright light rapidly blinking. I was up on the signaling bridge as the radio watch did not start until we cleared the harbor. The Captain, who was on the bridge with the harbor pilot, called up to me and said, "Sparks, see what they want."
Blinker Watch Southampton Harbor
Shore Station: What ship?
Reply: USAHS Francis Y. Slanger
Shore Station: Anchor and await officers.
Reply: By what authority?
Shore Station: NCSO Cowes
Reply: Will anchor in area 25.
After pacing up and down the bridge for 55 minutes, the Captain asked me to contact the shore station.
Ship: Can you contact NCSO Cowes?
Shore Station: Send your message.
Ship: How long must Slanger wait?
Shore Station: Message for you.
Ship: Send your message.
Shore Station: To Slanger from NCSO Cowes - A message from U.S. Navy in Southampton - Please wait for officers to be on board at 0755.
Except for the Signal Corps radio operators, the crew on Army Hospital Ships were Merchant Marine and civilians. When a motor launch finally pulled up to the ship, it had three of the ship's mess boys, dressed up in officers uniforms to impress the girls in Southampton and evidently they also impressed the U.S. Navy.
To put it mildly, the Captain was furious and had them put in the brig to be court marshalled when we got back to New York. I had to make a full report of the Blinker Watch. However, when we got back to New York, the Captain had cooled off and he figured the mess boys had also cooled off in the brig and the charges were dropped.
We headed out to the English Channelwhere I had to send numerous safety messages (TTT TTT TTT DE AMQI, FLOATING MINE SIGHTED." and give the position. As a hospital ship we did not have to keep radio silence and we had no guns on board to blow up mines. AMQI was the call sign of the Slanger.
At the end of the war, the signal corps radio operators were replaced by civilians and I was assigned as Chief Transmitter Technician at station WVP located on Governors Island, NY. This included maintenance of 8 transmitters ranging from two kilowatts to 300 watts, and the transmitting antenna system.
Back home, I spent a considerable amount of time in CW nets handling Asian War traffic. When I received a message from my local area and a phone number, I would call and try to calm don the party. Most were very excited to hear of sons or relatives in the was zone. I asked them to write the message down and I would send them a Radiogram by mail. Most people wanted to know how I got the message and if there was any charge for the service. The Radiogram would take care of that.
Other people were grateful for amateur radio, too. I saved the following letter that I received after sending one of my Radiograms. This was sent to me but it was really meant for all the operators across the country who relayed the message.
March 28, 1957
Dear Sirs:
I received my Radiogram today. How happy I was to know my son was OK. We were afraid he was on the plane that crashed. Thank the Lord he is OK. Thanks again for my Radiogram.
Yours truly,
Mrs. Alice Bass
When all else fails, Amateur Radio is there. This is what Amateur Radio is all about

A naturopath may be something your looking for? The chances of them following primal/paleo is anyone's guess.
I'm very new to Primal and this site. I really need help. I'm considerably older than most of you, and find I've been a complete victim of the FDA and the HMO's and medicare. Because I'm in pretty seriously bad condition, is there a type of professional that can help me in primal type nutrition? I've been to the regular AMA nutrionists, and am told to eat high-fiber cerals, which made be very sick.
So far, i've been on Primal 2 weeks and feel very much better, but I have some other problems I'd like specific help with. I have stringy poops that won't come out. This may be caused by pre cancerous polyps which I also have. Is there anything to help that? I also have an increasingly arthritic right hip which makes exercising (by walking) difficult.
I'd really appreciate any replies.

A naturopath may be something your looking for? The chances of them following primal/paleo is anyone's guess.
Thank you. There is a California Naturopathic Clinic not too far from my home. I'll give them a call.
They are also on facebook. Is this the kind of place that looks good?
Many different types of doctors (ND's, DC's, DO's, even some MD's) practice functional medicine. You might consider finding one trained in that approach.
There is a directory here Functional Medicine Doctors | Certified Practitioner Directory - Welcome
And here Institute for Functional Medicine
My take-- the "type' of medical professional that can help you is any that will:
1. Listen to you.
2. Take your concerns seriously
3. Work WITH you to find the cause and best treatment for the issues you are facing.
If you have/had pre-cancerous polyps I would think they were removed when found and that follow-up testing
(colonoscopies) were recommended.
As to the arthritis, giving up grains helped me tremendously in respect to my bone on bone knee arthritis.However, it took time.
Finally, give eating/living primally time. You are two weeks in. Your body needs time to adapt and heal.
There are only 2 Functional Medicine Doctors in CA, and none near enough to me. But that sounds good.
Their National site says that to reduce arthritis new study has shown that the following:
HOLY BASIL (Ocimum sanctum) Contains the powerful COX-2 inhibitor ursolic acid, which significantly enhances detoxification and reduces inflammation.
TURMERIC Unique curcumin phytonutrient complex, naturally inhibits inflammatory COX-2; synergistic with green tea, significantly multiplying anti-inflammatory effect of green tea polyphenols.
GINGER Supercritical extract inhibits both inflammatory COX and 5-LO and offers numerous anti-aging constituents.
GREEN TEA Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences report green tea polyphenols markedly reduce COX-2. Major university database notes green tea contains 51 anti-inflammatory phytonutrients.
ROSEMARY Dual extracts offer highly concentrated, full spectrum, COX-2 inhibition and support detoxification.
HU ZHANG (Polygonum cuspidatum) Richest known resveratrol source, shown scientifically to inhibit inflammatory COX-2.
CHINESE GOLDTHREAD AND BARBERRY Unique berberine phytonutrient complex, naturally inhibits inflammatory COX-2.*
OREGANO Source of large number of anti-inflammatory compounds according to USDA database.*
SCUTELLARIA Unique baicalin phytonutrient complex, naturally inhibits inflammatory COX-2.
That's interesting. Ginger, Oregano, Rosemary, and Tumeric are spices I use often. Though I've only been on this diet 2 weeks I've been drinking lots of Green Tea (without sugar even). Of course, I don't use concentrates of these spices.
I have a family doctor at my HMO (one of the best in the Nation, the FDA says) and he says my polyps are not large enough to remove. They usually wait until they grow larger because the operation is very risky. Does this agree with your information?
And Yes, I'm probably in too much of a hurry for results. Two weeks is not much and I've had great improvement already.
Thank you both.

I had one polyp 6 years ago-discovered through a routine colonoscopy at age 50. Upon seeing it, it was removed and later tested. It was determined to be not cancerous but highly susceptible to becoming cancerous. I find your doctor' s outlook unusually.
My understanding-- polyps are easily removed during colonoscopy with very little risk. Biopsy is usually done on the removed polyp tissue. With that being said-- if your polyp wasn't removed how was it determined to be pre-cancerous?
I adopted low carb/primal eating January 1, 2009. A subsequent colonoscopy, 3 years after the first one, revealed no polyps.
I'm curious, you say you are older than most people here, how old are you? Are you male or female?
I have never, ever heard what your doctor said about polyps. How were they diagnosed? They are normally found during a colonoscopy, and the doctor will IMMEDIATELY remove even the tiniest ones. 'Waiting' for them to grow larger is unheard of.
In fact, twice my doctor removed polyps that were just barely forming. All polyps are potentially cancerous, and that may be what your doctor meant, but that is the reason that they are removed immediately.
At my first colonoscopy, no polyps were found, but I was having some GI problems, so my gastro scheduled my next one for 5 years rather than 10. Since then, there have been polyps, and I now have a colonoscopy every 3 years. My sister, who is much younger than I am, tends to grow polyps, and she has been advised to have annual colonoscopies.
I have never heard of leaving polyps to grow larger. Cataracts, yes, but not intestinal polyps.
Oh, and for Primal/Paleo there is this network Paleo Physicians Network

Your constipation just possibly could be the result of too much modern medicine, too. Sticking things up the rectum to have a look around, surgery in there plus antibiotics and a bad diet can hurt your gut flora. You may consider doing some research on that angle. There are dietary things that can help, like low fiber or elimination diets.
