Yes it is. We've had rash of robberies and car thefts lately in a town where crime really isn't that much of a problem. Glad I'm not working in Hartford right now. I've spent the better part of the last two years working there.
June 25, 2006, 10:10 PM
Fox 61 just reported that the police have taken somebody into custody pertaining to the shooting, which may also involve a B&E and auto theft. Caught the guy in Hartford, but the gun is still loose. The shooter is being held and his bail is set at $1,000,000. Sgt. McKeon of the victim officers department said that the shooter was pretty determined to get at the weapon since the officer was employing the weapons retention skills the department trained him.
I think most of the problems are based out of some rough inner city neighborhoods. Same place most of the problems originate.

Camacho ... I wonder which sector of the border he crossed over. Last I knew, Hartford (not to mention New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury, Stamford and Danbury, CT) had a significant population of illegal aliens ... errr, "undocumented workers." Dang, I know that intersection ... in another lifetime I worked about a mile from there.
June 26, 2006, 08:45 PM
Yep, my son's Doc is just down the road from here. Just shows me no community is immune to crime and violence.
June 26, 2006, 10:07 PM
Yup, drive through that area almost every day. Haven't been to Hartford in a while now.

A close friendship that formed during direct competition has endured now that current starter Greg McElroy and John Parker Wilson, departed starter-turned-NFL backup, have had their roles reversed in different locations.
McElroy still calls Wilson "one of my best friends," while Wilson notes that he and McElroy still speak about once a week. It's proof that the pecking order of the sport's most high-profile position is not always defined by controversy.
"I think he's doing a really good job," Wilson, who is now a member of the Atlanta Falcons, said this week. "He's throwing the ball great, and he's been doing a good job with the team, getting it to the open guys."
The bond between the two quarterbacks goes back well beyond this season to when McElroy served as Wilson's backup in 2007 and 2008, the first two seasons of coach Nick Saban's tenure with the Crimson Tide.
Wilson never missed a game during three years as a starter. That left precious few opportunities for McElroy, who is now flourishing as a redshirt junior. But it never caused problems, a quality Saban always appreciated about McElroy.
"It's not always easy to do when you're a backup player at any position," Saban said. "Every player that's not playing either thinks he should be playing or wants to play. He probably understands why he isn't, but really wants to play. So that's a motivation issue for some guys. It's never been one for Greg."
Through five victories this season, McElroy has completed 78-of-119 passes (65.5 percent) for 1,086 yards and nine touchdowns. He hasn't thrown an interception since the season-opener against Virginia Tech.
The numbers add up to him being ranked sixth nationally in pass efficiency heading into Saturday's 2:30 p.m. game at Ole Miss.
Many didn't know what to expect from McElroy, but Wilson did.
"I haven't been surprised at all," Wilson said. "He just doesn't make any situation too big. He just doesn't try to win the game with every throw. He throws it to the guy he's supposed to throw it to, doesn't make a lot of mistakes. He's putting the team in a position to be successful, and it's worked so far for him. They've been doing great."
McElroy credits much of his success this year to the past two seasons, saying, "I think I made a lot of improvements in the time that I was the backup."
He won't say it was easy to sit behind Wilson. But it made it easier to be the backup for a person he considered a friend.
"It's difficult at times," McElroy said. "Obviously, you want to play. And there were situations where you would love to be out there. You'd love to be a difference maker. But backing up John Parker was a joyous experience. I got to spend time with one of my best friends every day. I got to learn from him. I got to watch him play. I got to help him the best way I knew how, by being his eyes off the field.
"We really trusted each other in what we said to each other off the field, and it led to some pretty successful times."
McElroy still learns from Wilson, who tries his best to watch Alabama's games when his schedule allows. He cheers on old friends, McElroy included.
Phone calls continued through the offseason leading up to Alabama's first game. Asked if McElroy picked Wilson's brain, the former Tide quarterback replied, "He did early, but not now."
"He's a smart guy. He knows what everything is about," Wilson said. "I just told him to relax and have fun. It's so easy to get caught up in everything and all the hype. There's a reason he's starting for Alabama. He's good. He's got the talent. He's got the skill. So just go out there and let it shine and let the guys around you make plays and make you look good."
Wilson said he misses being around his old team, but said, "I think it would be a whole lot more difficult if I wasn't still playing."
Statistically the most prolific passer in Crimson Tide history, Wilson went undrafted before signing as a free agent with the Falcons. Against the odds, he managed to make the team with a strong training camp and preseason. He's now the third quarterback on Atlanta's depth chart.
Wilson was able to visit with Alabama's team after the Virginia Tech game at the Georgia Dome. It was a few days after he made Atlanta's final cut, and McElroy congratulated him.
"The hardest thing to do for a new coaching staff is to come in and change the culture," Wilson said. "Coach Saban did that, changed the attitude of everybody. Once that happened, we put it all together last year. Now those guys know what it's like to win. They can go out and know what it takes to work during the week and then do it on Saturdays.
"When I was there early in my career, we were kind of in a bad rut. We were able to get out of that. Now they know the formula. It's just going out and doing it now."

Johnny Depp and his longtime partner Vanessa Paradis didn't take their separation lightly and tried valiantly to keep their family together, a source tells PEOPLE.
"They've tried for months to save the relationship," the source close to the couple says, "but have known for weeks that it couldn't be saved."
Last week, Paradis arrived in France where she is promoting her film Je Me Suis Fait Tout Petit at the Cabourg Festival of Romantic Cinema.
The source says the timing of the couple's separation announcement purposefully coincided with Paradis's trip to France. "It was all decided before she got on that plane."
As PEOPLE reported in January, Depp, 49, and Paradis, 39, have been living separate lives for many months.
The couple are parents to two kids, Lily-Rose, 13, and Jack, 9.

Everyday Smokey
This look is a variation of my everyday smokey. I wasn't sure if I should post this since it's not particularly exciting but everyday looks need love too!! I added some flair to this look with the amazing v shaped strands of the Faux Vixen. I thought it added just enough spice to the look without overdoing it.
I added a little bit of Sugarpill Afterparty on the outer lid and blended it in to the crease with a matte black to add some color.
Yesterday was World AIDS Day so I thought I'd wear Viva Glam Gaga 2 with this look.

Baby Update and Recipe Preview
It's been a long time since I wrote about little M. She has started to crawl now and there's no stopping her! We have to buy one of those fence things to keep her in coz there's no way we can leave her alone for even a minute! She follows Ginger(my cat) and tries to catch her tail at every opportunity. Ginger has now accepted M and is no longer afraid of her. She gives M a forehead rub every morning (her way of saying "G'morning", I guess!). When M cries at night, Ginger paces up & down for sometime and when she can't take it anymore, she puts her face right onto ours as if saying 'can't u hear the poor thing crying??!! Do something!' She is so adorable! M used to walk backwards in her walker and has in the past few days, learnt to walk forward and can even maneuver to change directions. Her vocabulary includes "ma", "da", "tha" and since yesterday "na". Of course, her entire sentence would be repetition of one of the syllables and she goes on & on with that one syllable. It is of course, music to my ears! :)
Weekly cooking sessions are still on but I haven't been taking pictures as much as I used to. Here's a sneak peek at some recipes that I will post soon. I figured even if I don't have time/energy to post recipes, I can at least post photos and write the recipes later.

Small White Bean and Spring Mix Curry
My cooking, these days, is confined to weekends. In the one hour or so that little M sleeps, I cook as many dishes as possible for the week. Most are the quick and easy types. Here is such a curry. I was out of tomatoes and improvised with ketchup, which I use pretty often in my bhajis and currries. Canned beans, bagged greens and ketchup instead of tomatoes-this took all of 5 minutes to make!
1 can Small White Beans
1/2 bag of Spring Mix Salad or Spinach (chopped)
1 medium sized Red Onion (chopped)
1 Tbsp Tomato Ketchup
3 Green Chillies (chopped fine)
1/2 tsp Cumin Powder
1/2 tsp Coriander Powder
1/5 tsp Tamarind Paste
1/2 cup Milk
Salt to taste
1 tbsp Oil
Mustard Seeds
Method: Temper the oil. Add green chillies and onions & fry for a few minutes. Add the canned beans, tomato ketchup and milk. Stir often until it comes to a boil. Add tamarind and the powders. Season with salt.

Pier 1 Boosts Second-Quarter Sales 10 Percent
Posted on September 1, 2011 by
FORT WORTH, Texas--Net sales for Pier 1 Imports finished the second quarter at $340 million, 10 percent ahead of the company's second-quarter sales from last year.
The increase included a same-store sales gain of 10.8 percent, on top of the 11.5 percent rise Pier 1 logged in last year's second quarter. In addition, the company said merchandise margins are expected to reach 59.3 percent, 100 basis points ahead of last year. Increases in store traffic and average ticket drove Pier 1 to its strong performance in the quarter.
Alex Smith, president and CEO, said merchandise margins for Pier 1 were strong across all product categories. Smith added that Halloween, fall and harvest merchandise had been placed in the stores by early August, and "customers are reacting favorably to this merchandise, which bodes well for the second half of the year."

Public Stackelberg Leadership in a Mixed Oligopoly with Foreign Firms
Kenneth Fjell
Norwegian School of Economics (NHH)
John S. Heywood
University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee
Australian Economin Papers, Vol. 41, pp. 267-281, 2002
This is the first paper to consider a mixed oligopoly in which a public Stackelberg leader competes with both domestic and foreign private firms. The welfare maximising leader is shown to always produce less than under previous Cournot conjectures. Introducing leadership also alters previous public pricing rules resulting in prices that may be either greater than or less than marginal cost depending on the relative number of domestic firms. Furthermore, entry of a foreign firm will increase welfare only when the relative number of domestic firms is small, but that share is shown to be larger than has been indicated without leadership. Unlike previous models, the influence on public profit of a foreign acquisition is ambiguous and is related to the relative number of domestic firms. Finally, the consequences of privatisation are shown, for the first time, to depend on the relative number of domestic firms.

Cape Byron Marine Park
Navigation warning
Vessel operators are advised that as a component of the NSW Government Shark Management Strategy, the Department of Primary Industries have deployed two (VR4G) acoustic receivers on customised yellow buoys. The buoys are approximately 3.5m in length and fitted with 3.5m long steel sub-frames. The buoys are located in offshore waters near Sharpes Beach at Ballina and near the Pass at Byron Bay.
Vessel operators are advised to exercise caution when navigating in the vicinity of these areas. This navigation warning remains in place for the duration of the works. Vessel operators are advised that it is an offence to secure or anchor a vessel to the listening station buoys. Penalties apply.
Further information is available at RMS.
Recreational fishing amnesty
The NSW Government announced its decision on the recreational fishing amnesty in NSW Marine Parks, based on the Marine Estate Expert Knowledge Panel's advice and further consideration of social values and use conflicts at some sites.
In Cape Byron Marine Park, the NSW Government proposes to rezone the shoreline (to 100 m offshore) at the following two sites from sanctuary zone to habitat protection zone to permanently allow shore-based recreational line fishing:
- Tyagarah Beach
- East Cape Byron.
The amnesty on shore-based recreational line fishing at these two sites will continue until the rezoning process is finalised.
The amnesty has now ceased at the following five sites and enforcement of sanctuary zone rules has recommenced:
- Belongil Beach
- The Pass/Wategos Beach
- Broken Head
- The Moat or Bream Hole
- Lennox Head.
All forms of fishing are prohibited in sanctuary zones and significant penalties apply including on-the-spot fines of up to $500.
For more information, please visit the NSW Marine Estate website or contact the Cape Byron Marine Park office.
Location & Size
Cape Byron Marine Park covers approximately 22 000 hectares, extending from Brunswick Heads in the north to Lennox Head in the south. It includes the seabed and extends seaward from the mean high water mark to the 3 nautical mile limit of state waters. The tidal waters of the Brunswick River and its tributaries as well as Belongil and Tallow creeks are also within the marine park.
- Zoning Map 1.4 Mb - map showing the different zones, and explaining the activities allowed in each
Note: Percentages for zones may not add up to 100% due to rounding.
Date established
The NSW Government officially established the park in November 2002.
Special features
Local marine habitats include exposed and sheltered sandy beaches, rocky shores, rocky reefs, submerged pinnacles, small rocky islands, coral communities, riverine estuaries, coastal creeks and lakes, and sandy seabed habitats.
Marine life includes many species of dolphins, fish, seabirds and marine plants along with threatened species such as little terns, grey nurse sharks and sea turtles. Many of the fascinating animals that inhabit the waters surrounding Julian rocks including, sharks, rays, turtles, eels, starfish, and corals can be viewed on the Julian Rocks Byron Bay website.

Same health benefits without the high price
Kangen Water vs. Alkaline WaterMany of our visitors ask what the difference is between "Kangen Water", "Ionized Water", "Alkaline Water" or some other variation - the answer is... they're all the same. "Kangen water" is simply a brand that Enagic created for alkaline water, think of it like how Coke or Pepsi branded their cola. Are there minor differences? Sure. Will they all give you the same great benefits? Absolutely. (the ionizers, not the sodas)
When shopping for an ionizer, companies like Enagic are in an epic struggle to prove they can generate the highest pH and extreme -ORP values. The conclusions always point to the model they want to sell and the push to get the biggest, most powerful system available. At Vitev, we believe healthy water shouldn't require a mortgage and the "real" key is in Nature itself. This is why our water is created using a special blend of natural minerals. No electricity, no plates, no far fetched stories (and definitely no mortgage) to justify a high price tag - we're simply taking what Nature created and delivering it to your glass.
pH & ORP DemonstrationWhile healthy minerals are just as important as pH and ORP we simply want to show you how the "natural way" actually works. Our unique natural alkaline filters are able to produce pH levels of 8.5 to 9.5 and ORP levels of up to -500. Have a look at our videos for a quick demonstration:
So now you see the same alkaline, ionized qualities in our simple, natural system. There has to be a reason Enagic is so much more expensive, right? Let's look at some other categories.
Specification Comparisons
We don't usually like these because they tend to distract and complicate matters more than they should. However, we've compiled a simple comparison of the important factors for those interested. Note: -ORP capability based on dealer produced videos
What Others are Saying
Evan Plews is a professional mountain biker and reigning 2011 US National Champion. He contacted us because he was searching for a way to rebuild after a few injuries and sickness and because he was having a hard time recovering from his races. He added natural alkaline water to his regimen and is off to his best start ever this 2012 season. He loved our simple approach and natural process. We love that he's winning and getting the next level in his performance.
Click here for more testimonials.
Will Natural Alkaline Water really work for you?
Yes, you will experience improvements in your overall health. In fact, we've found that the more unhealthy you are the quicker the water works. This isn't magic, it's simply nature. All we're providing is an affordable and easy way to access it.

I am a youth leadership and parenting expert. I am driven to help parents focus on children's success. I am working on writing a parenting resource guide for parents that addresses a variety of topics that all tie back to youth leadership. I am focusing on the parents of pre-teens and teens. I have 13 parenting topics I would like to address. For each of the 13 parenting topics, I want 21 high-quality, open-ended questions. I do not want questions that can be answered with a one-word response. I want the questions to require an explanation. I would like to answer these questions in a resource guide for parents.

Among the programs, "Together For-ever", co-worked by Taiwan Choi-Tian Folk Drum & Arts Group and 'IfKids' Theatre Co., makes an amazing attempt to include Chinese traditional folk art and western kids play. Other performances like tra-ditional glove puppet shows and modern Jin-Kuang glove puppet per-formances are included in the program. There are also lion and dragon dances from Taiwan and China as well as exquisite Taiwanese opera performances. Moreover, Ming Hwa Yuan Arts & Cultural Group will be showcase its special Lantern Festival performance-"Six Hundred Years of Chinese Lanterns", merging modern jazz and modern dance into traditional Chinese opera.
And then, a traditional arts market is set up during the festival to sell goods such as sugar paintings, traditional Chinese toys, ocarinas, carved stones and carved "hulu" bottle gourds. Free traditional Do-It-Yourself courses for children are available daily to further people's understanding of making Chinese knotting, bamboo-copters, sugar-coated fruit (tanghulu) and Chinese cotton candy ("dragon's beard" candy).

I'd remortgage my house to get my hands on that

I'd remortgage my house to get my hands on that
I saw him on some commercial recently- he kept popping up around this guy doing his splits.
When I first saw that ass in Universal Soldier I was rock hard. I just wanted so badly to run my tongue all over those amazing butt cheeks and then bury my face between them.
I love his ass in that movie.
Doesn't get much better than that
Can the whole back of a man look any better than that?
Only if theres a penis inside that hot ass
Seeing from him in the 80s and 90s, he was so damn cute. He had a charm about him. He had a cute-hot thing going on, it's a hard combination to pull off in my opinion.
Jean Claude Van Damme aka Mr. Ass or The 90s Butt King
THThursday: Jean Claude Van Damme was one of the Sexiest Men and Hottest Action Stars of The 80s and 90s. He had the face of ruggedly-sexy angel, the body of a gladiator, and the butt of a greek-god, which he loved to show off in all his films. There were many things about Jean Claude Van Damme that turned me on and fueled my desire for him, but one of the top 2 things about JCVD that made my dick hard was when he would do the splits in his films. I would jizz in my drawers whenever I watched the splits scene in Double Impact and Timecop. It seemed like whenever JCVD would do the splits, his big beefy beautiful bubble-butt would look even more delicious. His butt belongs in the Booty Hall of Fame. Jean Claude Van Dammes big beefy ass was so perfect and desirable that Im pretty sure there were a lot of straight men (action film fans) in the 80s and 90s who wanted to and wouldve butt-fucked him if given than chance. I know if I was a grown man during 80s and 90s, Jean Claude Van Damme and I wouldve been totally fucking behind closed door. I wouldve been kissing, licking, and eating Jean Claude Van Dammes big beefy beautiful ass like groceries and banging his cum-dump every chance I got. I still Jerk-off to all JCVD naked scenes!
Skip to 48:45 to see JVCD Big Beefy Beautiful Bare Booty!
Heres the Link to a Site that Shows You all the Film JCVD has gotten Butt Ass Naked in
Id love to motorboat that ass.
I remember first seeing it in Universal Soldier and nearly came in my boxers.
That movie really set my imagination wild, especially with big Dolph Lundgren. I used to imagine Dolph pounding fuck outta Jean's fabulous arse in all sorts of positions....*|*
hey guys...
just fyi, jcvd is nude in his new movie, "pound of flesh"...
he is getting up there, so i didn't really bother with caps...
this is pretty much the best that it gets...
although in hindsight (pun intended), the love scene ain't bad...
Damn tynfyr you beat me to it
It really is one of the most stunning arses I've ever seen.
I've always found him a beautiful man! I think he has one of the best asses that I've ever seen! Just omg, that ass looks so freakin hot!!! :p
i would never wear black silk underwear!
Some vintage (1981) Van Damme in a jockstrap
Hard not to want that
that sex scene in desert heat/inferno !! I jerked off to it so many times when I was younger... still jerk to it now

Womens Volleyball Scores Saturday Sweep Of Buffalo
MUNCIE, Ind. - - The Ball State women's volleyball team extended the nation's fourth-longest active homecourt winning streak to 23 matches with a 3-0 (25-19, 25-19, 25-17) victory over Buffalo Saturday evening at Worthen Arena.
With the win, the Cardinals improve to 22-3 (11-1 MAC) which is the best 25-match record in program history. BSU also improved to 10-0 all-time versus Buffalo in Worthen Arena, while dropping the Bulls season record to 10-16 (3-9 MAC).
In a match which saw the Cardinals offense roll to a .337 (45-12-98) team hitting mark, sophomore outside hitter Kylee Baker paced all players with 13 kills while not recording a single hitting error in 27 attempts for a .481 hitting mark. Baker also tallied nine digs in the match.
Sophomore middle attacker Mindy Marx also turned in a great performance, tying her career-high with 12 kills, while posting a match and career-best .625 (12-2-16) hitting mark. Marx was also one of four BSU players to finish the contest with two total blocks.
Senior setter Brittany McGinnis led the BSU offense to its .337 hitting mark by handing out a match-best 34 assists. She also collected nine digs, two block assists and an ace.
Junior outside hitter Kara Bates added eight kills, while senior middle attacker Kelsey Brandl posted seven. BSU sophomore libero Catie Fredrich collected a team-best 12 digs, while posting a perfect reception percentage with no errors in a match-high 21 attempts.
Liz Scott paced the Buffalo attack with 11 kills, while Sable Staller added 10. Kelly Svoboda collected a match-best 14 digs for the Bulls.
Defensively, the Cardinals limited the Buffalo attack to a .140 (36-21-107) rate of success for the match. BSU also held a 42-37 edge in digs and a 5-3 advantage in team blocks.
With the Cardinals trailing 9-6 in the opening set, a kill from Baker and a pair of Buffalo errors tied the score and got the home team on track. BSU continued to roll from there, adding nine of the next 12 points to pull ahead 18-12. Ball State reached set point at 24-17 thanks to a blast from Bates, while a Marx kill ended the frame at 25-19.
Ball State scored the first two points in the second game, and never trailed from there. BSU pulled ahead by six points at the 16-10 mark, and again at 22-16. Buffalo would cut the gap to three points at the 22-19 mark before back-to-back kills from Marx gave BSU set point. A UB attack error ended the set at 25-19.
Buffalo pulled out to a 5-2 edge in the third frame, only to see BSU storm back and tie the score at 8-8. With the score knotted at 10, a UB attack error and a kill from Marx swung the momentum to the Cardinals and helped them pull ahead 17-13.
Ball State maintained the four-point lead at 21-17, before kills from Bates, Baker and sophomore right side attacker Lauren Grant gave BSU match-point at 24-17. Senior defensive specialist Kaylee Schembra followed with a match-winning ace at 25-17.The Ball State women's volleyball team embarks on a critical road trip next weekend, as it visits Western Michigan (Friday, 7 p.m.) and Northern Illinois (Saturday, 7 p.m. CT). Both the Broncos and the Huskies trail the Cardinals by one match in the MAC West Division and overall MAC title race.

Wells Fargo and its team members recently held a highly successful food drive to benefit the Charleston Animal Society. What initially began as a four-week campaign was extended an additional week due to the enormous response of Wells Fargo team members. The overwhelming support for this campaign netted three car loads of pet food, toys and supplies.
"We sponsor many volunteer projects at Wells Fargo, but I have never seen such an enthusiastic response as I did with this one," says Michael Halasz, head of Wells Fargo's local volunteer program. "Our team members clearly believe in the Charleston Animal Society and all the work they do on behalf of the area's neediest animals."
"Support like this allows us to sustain our efforts to maintain Charleston's status as the only No Kill Community in the Deep South," declares Charleston Animal Society's Chief Executive Officer Joe Elmore. "We are so thankful for the generosity of Wells Fargo and its employees."
At 140 years old, Charleston Animal Society is the oldest animal organization in South Carolina and one of the oldest in the nation. It is also South Carolina's leader in adoptions, spay/neuter procedures, free-roaming cat services and research projects and has a nationally recognized Veterinary Science Initiative.
For the second year in a row, Charleston Animal Society is South Carolina's most honored charity.

National Crisis
Today, at a lunch with a prominent retired politician we shared some of our concerns about the country.
Imagine, the P. Balasubramaniam's SD drama, the sodomy allegations against Anwar Ibrahim and RPK's SD against Rosmah. These cases have created bad public perceptions against our national leaders.
Worse, many Malaysians are now confused and disappointed with politics in the country.
It stinks!
It is unfortunate that many of us have lost our trust in some key institutions in the country. Allegations of case tempering by judges, manipulations in police investigation and sensational involvements of political personalities in some of the most controversial cases are worrying. Together, they pose a great risk and challenge to Malaysia's credibility.
As Lim Kit Siang puts it, the P. Balasubramaniam's about turn is now making more people believing the his first SD. This is unfortunate. The more we wanted the public to gain access to real information and facts, the more confused they have become.
Is there law and order in the country? Is there transparency in our justice system? Is there a credibility gap or wedge between the people and the government? Can we correct our battered public image?
Governments around the world are focused on fighting inflation, social-economic challenges and other challenges including job creation but ours is busy with political assassinations and contestations.
We have had enough of all these nonsense. I have said that we demand all parties involved to come out clean on everything. It is disappointing to note that politicians, who wanted our mandate to rule, after getting the mandate are neglecting their responsibility.
Here, I share Wong Chun Wai, Marina Mahathir and other's call to "to post their disgust at our politicians and ignore all these press statements, press conferences and their lies, excuses and explanations for the next 24 hours."
8 comments:
Just take a pack of Ngan Hin Groundnuts and Salute brand Kopi O and watch this drama.
Alot of us has been waiting to see this happen, to break up UMNO the most damaging element in the country.
Let the dog fight the dog, get UMNO out of the political system and at the very least we have a chance to survive in the next 5 years.
Even better, would be to have the Agong declare the constitution void and we all can draft a new one where racist elements is out of the new constitution, then the country will be for once, correct the wrongs in the past 50+ years.
Dear Mr Khoo,
Unfortunately those who can see behind all these 'charades' are in the minority and we can huff and puff in blogs or coffee shop chats but are we willing to really step forward and make a difference?
The reality of it is that the majority of Malaysians don't know any better and hence the continued 'charades' from the actors.
We can demand till our faces turn blue but the thick-skinned actors knows that when push comes to shove, they can always rely on the masses who believes that whatever is said by a person of authority must be the truth!
For all its worth, here's my disgust; Poooooi!!!!
We cannot trust our politicians, the police, the judiciary.
Then who else can we trust, the King?

If there is one thing in life I hate most it is being told by people, whoever they are, what to do.
Every time it happens I will do the exact opposite.
I guess the reason why I hate it most is because, I take pride that I have a brain of my own.
I believe there are many people who are like me out there.
So you, Wong Chun Wai, Marina Mahathir and others of your herd, nothing personal, but STOP TELLING US WHAT TO DO!!!!
whats more disgusting is the rampant corruption perpetrated by the powers-that-be and their cronies hich have caused untold misery to the general public. and the mainstream papers become accomplices by covering up the vicious corruption. Port Klang Free Trade Zone is a classic example of insidious corruption and the STAR paper lied thru the teeth to protect its political masters, which is MCA.
Khoo, aint that more disgusting than all the political manouverings? and who is Wong of STAR paper to tell us whats disgusting.
- Khoo Kay Peng said...
Anon & Stevie,
Funny, you are getting very personal here with Wong. But I rather look at the merit of the issue. If you think the sodomy and murder allegations are not serious especially when these cases involved top politicians in this country what is serious to you?
For PKFZ, I agree that we must get to the bottom of the case. No cover will be tolerated.
If you do not like Wong, I am sure we can still agree on issues. This is a problem with Malaysians. We are too personal and personality centric.
So what do you want us to do? Continue being part of the melodrama and watch the nation going to the dogs?
Tell me what you wanted. If you have a bone to pick with Wong, visit www.chunwai08.blogspot.com
And you, Stevie, nothing personal too. Your response showed that you are not what you claimed - with lots of brain. Prove me wrong.
SD against Rosmah..........this is no a new case. This 'allegation' has been going on for a while and RPK has proved his case come October. So, RPK's SD and subsequent SD by Bala are meant to lend support to the case. I believe this is a build-up to the eventual court hearing.
Sodomy against Anwar.......there are too many obvious twists-and-turns. Why there is a need for a dropout student to apply for a scholarship? To further his education overseas (since he could not make it locally)? If this is the "procedure" to apply scholarship, I strongly advise Malaysian high achievers (especially those with 8As and above) to approach Najib one by one to apply for scholarship. I am thinking for a same move for my PhD study...........
- Jeremiah said...
Can We Love Our Political Rivals?- Malaysiakini
I completely agree with Prof Khoo. Msians should focus on the issues rather than the personalities, especially in these times of spin and lies, we must be careful not to overeact emotionally and be blinded from seeing the truth.
If only all of us can be guided by William Wilberforce.
Read here from my blog: wwww.jeremiahliang.blogspot.com:
"Can our politicians and elected representatives regard their political rivals and fellow intellectuals with the same civility as Wilberforce? Between Anwar, Najib and Badawi, I think the latter is the most civil. Yet, he, among the three, is the one who needs most to step up the plate and provide some fresh intellectual solutions to this nation's crisis of ideas.
As for mere citizens like us: Ask not what your politicans can do for you, but ask what you can do for your family, friends and neighbours in this aspect of civility."

With the Dallas Cowboys not making many moves during free agency, they need big contributions from their selections in the 2014 NFL draft.
With coach Jason Garrett entering the final year of his contract and Tony Romo turning 34 years old, the Cowboys need to draft players who can make an impact next season, especially with their early picks. This means that the team should not choose a quarterback in the first couple of rounds because it does not help them in the immediate future—sorry, Johnny Manziel fans.
For the Cowboys to get over the 8-8 hump, Jerry Jones, vice president Stephen Jones and assistant director of player personnel Will McClay need to be on their A-game.
The Cowboys' main needs heading into the draft are 1-technique defensive tackle, strong- and weak-side defensive end, free safety and guard.
Even though I expect the team to trade a couple of times during the draft, they are too hard to predict. Therefore, I will just mock the Cowboys with the selections they currently have.

5 heartbreakers for hospital CFOs
On Valentine's Day, it's either joy or heartbreak – and for CFOs of hospitals, it's no different.
John McCarthy, general manager of asset management at GE Healthcare, consults CFOs nationwide and has witnessed the heartbreak of CFOs. Here, McCarthy outlines the heartbreak he's seen first hand.
1. "You just don't love me anymore."
There are millions of dollars of underutilized assets at hospitals, McCarthy said. Due to workflow issues and no real, data-driven way to know how technology is being used, many hospitals may not know exactly how efficiently clinical assets are being used, and in effect, the millions spent on all that underutilized equipment, are being wasted. To add insult to injury, the lack of knowledge of how technology is being used can lead to heartbreak number two: overcompensation.
2. Overcompensation
According to McCarthy, hospitals are over-purchasing equipment during capital planning. Because hospitals aren't getting a handle on how clinical assets are being used, when they receive feedback from staff and physicians that there is not enough equipment, for example, executive teams spend the money to buy more and more units. In some cases, McCarthy said, new equipment does not need to be purchased at all.
3. "I'm not being seen for all I do!"
When assets are not being used to their full potential for patient care, revenue is being left on the table, McCarthy said. If a CT scanner can be used more efficiently, more scans can be conducted and more patients can be seen. When productivity issues with clinical assets are not addressed, hospitals miss out on capturing those revenue opportunities. CFOs can start to fix this heartbreaker by taking a close look at hours of use and utilization rates, McCarthy said. If there are two CT scanners being used only half of the time or at odd hours, adjustments can be made to increase their productivity, such as adding more patients from other service lines.
4. "Don't look elsewhere when the going gets tough."
Every hospital's telemetry devices rely on a clinical network to stay up and running. But that network can go down, often due to a lack of preventive maintenance. Recently, McCarthy said, a medical device network went down at a hospital and units had to go on diversion to ensure patients continued receiving appropriate care. The hospital had to rent 150 bedside monitors. After all was said and done, the final bill came to over $150,000. Instead of looking elsewhere to patch the problem, McCarthy said, CFOs should pay attention to what's happening internally and invest in their IT and biomedical departments' training to ensure that these costly system failures don't happen.
5. "Have you been tested?"
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are a well-known issue in healthcare – one that all hospitals and healthcare workers are working hard to solve, McCarthy said. However, many hospitals may be surprised to learn that their mobile medical equipment, such as IVs or heart monitors, are not going through the proper sanitization protocols 100 percent of the time. These devices, which move around the hospital all day from patient to patient and nurse to nurse, could be carrying pathogens that spread HAIs. These infections not only put patients and caregivers at risk, but with new penalties for these infections and declining reimbursement, HAIs also could cost hospitals in fines. Ensuring that there is a strong culture of safety and tracking technology to see every piece of technology go through established protocols can go a long way in helping reduce HAIs, McCarthy said.

Toyota has rolled out a scheme to help employees find new careers as Australian car manufacturing draws to a close.
The car maker will, firstly, open career centres at its plant in Altona and head office in Port Melbourne as part of its shift from building cars locally to importing them from overseas.
Toyota says employees will access information surrounding other industries and receive referrals for assistance programs or financial services during the first of five stages under a new program dubbed Drive.
The second stage will start in 2015 and provide employees with individual career plans and training paid for by the Japanese giant.
Toyota Australia president Dave Buttner says the programs should help people find success after years in the car industry.
"The first phase of the program will encourage employees to think about what they want to do and explore potential new industries and career options," he says.
"We don't want our employees to feel rushed into making such big decisions, which is why we are waiting until next year to launch the next phase of the program."
The manufacturer will shed about 2500 jobs associated with building cars by the time it stops production in 2017.
Buttner says Toyota will do what it can for employees.
"We understand that the next few years may be difficult for many of our people as they consider their options beyond 2017," he says.
"We are committed to doing everything that we can to support our employees as we transition to a national sales and distribution company."
The Federal Government has pledged $100 million in support for automotive workers in Victoria and South Australia find new jobs.
Holden and Ford have hosted careers workshops for outgoing staff, developed career transition plans and contributed to an industry investment fund led by state and federal governments.
Components suppliers to Ford have also been included in a match-making program intended to find new contracts for parts makers.

I have to say, I only know one Paleo guy in reality, and the first time I met him I was shocked by how sick he looked. He's totally ripped, but his face is gaunt and no colour. I also don't think that Mark looks that healthy...!
I'm still experimenting with this diet, and I recently went through a phase where I was doing high protein. I felt great for about a week, and then my stomach started making really crazy noises, and I started looking like crap - pale, drawn face etc.
I think all that protein is pretty hard on the system, and I actually think Choco's 33:33:33 is probably the healthiest model. It's literally balanced, and "in moderation". Unless you've got specific health complaints and need to avoid certain food stuffs.
And yeah, sleep is [B]the[/B] most vital thing, but the quality of it is completely impacted by diet.
