Fugitive killer cop Chris Dorner was holed up on a snow-filled mountain last night after shooting dead another police officer.
Dorner – who has a $1million price on his head – was believed to have barricaded himself inside a cabin in Big Bear Lake, California.
The former Navy officer, 33, exchanged gunfire with San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies in the mountains in Los Angeles, claiming his fourth victim.
He broke into a home, tied up a couple and stole their pick-up truck.
Two officers involved in the shoot-out were shot in an exchange of gunfire with Dorner. Big Bear Lake Mayor Jay Obernolte confirmed last night that a deputy had been killed.
But as police teams had Dorner snared last night, they heard a single shot from inside the cabin, as smoke and flames billowed.
Police and emergency squads were waiting on the flames dying before approaching the cabin's " ruins".
San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Cynthia Bachman said they had to wait before approaching to search for "a body".
"We have reason to believe that it is him," she said.
Earlier, two officers involved in the shootout were struck by gunfire.
One wounded officer was flown by helicopter to an area hospital, a spokesman for the county fire department said.
Dorner, accused of targeting police officers and their families in three revenge-driven killings, was apparently fired upon by a state fish and game ranger as he fled in the stolen vehicle, police said.
The confrontation came on the sixth day of a search for Dorner that Los Angeles Police Department Chief Charlie Beck has called the most extensive manhunt in the region's history.
Dorner's last confirmed encounter with authorities came early last Thursday, when he ambushed two cops at a traffic light in Riverside, about 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
One of those officers was killed, the other wounded.
That shooting came shortly after Dorner, a former Navy officer, was suspected of exchanging gunfire with police in nearby Corona, wounding one officer there
Last Wednesday, he was named as a suspect in the slayings of a campus security officer and his fiancee, the daughter of a retired Los Angeles Police Department captain who Dorner blamed for his 2008 dismissal from the department in a manifesto posted on his Facebook page last week.
In the rambling online declaration, Dorner claimed he was wrongly fired and vowed to seek revenge by unleashing "unconventional and asymmetrical warfare" on police officers and their families.
It was not known whether he was in custody, but law enforcement officials were swarming the area.
In a sweeping manhunt, officers have crisscrossed California following leads about Dorner's possible whereabouts and serving warrants at homes in Las Vegas and Point Loma.
Military drones had been brought in for the manhunt, which was frustrated by bad weather in the San Bernardino mountains.
Dorner was formerly sacked by Bill Bratton, who was LA Police Chief while Dorner served on the force – and was in the running to be head of Scotland Yard.
Bratton said he did not remember Dorner personally but did pose for a photo with him before he was deployed to serve in the Navy.
He revealed that a ceremonial coin he gave to Dorner was sent back by him – with Bratton's name on it and three bullet holes in it, along with Dorner's manifesto.
He said: "When you see that that a coin that was given in friendship and respect has three bullet holes, it's certainly very chilling."

THE importance of improving respiration in patients with bronchial asthma through the use of respiratory and physical exercise has been emphasized by several investigators.1-11 Various methods of measuring the progress of rehabilitation have been used in an attempt to determine the value of exercise programs in the routine treatment of perennial bronchial asthma.6,10-12
When properly instructed and with practice, asthmatic children can learn to improve their breathing patterns, decrease hyperinflation by increasing diaphragmatic excursions, and decrease severity and length of acute asthma attacks.8,11,12
This paper is an appraisal of the progress of children with perennial asthma in a special outpatient rehabilitation class (Bucking Bronchos, YMCA, Oak Park, Ill). These children had the benefit of physical fitness and breathing exercises for one hour, once a week during the school year. An analysis was made of serial pulmonary function tests performed during the period of study.

Motorcyclist hurt in rush hour Oldbury crash
A motorcyclist has been taken to hospital after coming off his bike during busy rush hour traffic today.
Emergency services were called to the junction of Titford Lane and Wolverhampton Road in Oldbury at around 7.35am after reports of a collision involving a motorcycle and a car.
John Hawker spokesman for West Midlands Ambulance Service said: "A man in his 30s was initially treated at the scene by an off-duty paramedic.
"An ambulance crew arrived and continued to treat his injuries before transferring him to Sandwell Hospital for further treatment.
"His condition remains unknown."
Officers from West Midlands Police were also at the scene and have closed off a section of road around the traffic lights for the Asda Superstore to allow the scene to be cleared.
Motorists travelling on the busy route were left with long waits up to and around the usually congested Birchley Island.Subscribe to our Newsletter

The high-flying Seahawks take on the lowly Minnesota Vikings today in what is certain to be a blowout victory… right? Okay, so, maybe not. Rather than doing a Keys to the Game for this, um, underdog effort, I think I'll focus on who I'm watching today. Let's be honest, it's all about planning for the future at this point…
- Sean Locklear – everyone and their mother sees the Hawks taking a left tackle with one of our firsts next year, but if Locklear can manage a solid performance against Jared Allen, well, maybe we can push that off a bit? It's unlikely (but then, so is Lock holding off Allen), but it's worth watching.
- Forsett & Rankin – now, let's not fool ourselves. The Vikings are giving up only 94.6 rushing yards per game, good for sixth in the league. Still, both of them have an ability to break a long run, so who knows what'll happen. Either way, watch their cuts and tackle breaking ability — which they both have. Rankin especially could become a threat today in the short pass game, as he does have the speed to break one anytime he touches the ball.
- Deon Butler – will they find a way to use him? It seemed like a good deal at the time, but with no 3rd Round pick next year, Butler needs to start stepping up.
- Jordan Babineaux / Lawyer Milloy – Why is Babs still starting? He's young and struggling, and really, why wouldn't he be starting? Still, Milloy is a great presence on the field, he's an absolute beast with his tackling skills. I think that this team needs to watch him hit and tackle, and try to get that same intensity throughout the defense. It's certainly good that we're not missing as many tackles as last year, but still, I want to see some nasty tackles, bone crushers, nightmare-inducing, physical therapist-needing hits.
- Darryl Tapp and Lawrence Jackson – especially with Tapp being a free agent at the end of the year, we need these guys to start stepping up even more than they have so far this year. They're currently the best DEs on the team and, uh, that might not be a compliment.

The summary below is from the full report titled "Hope, Truth, and Preparing for Death: Perspectives of Surrogate Decision Makers." It is in the 16 December 2008 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 149, pages 861-868). The report was written by L. Apatira, E.A. Boyd, G. Malvar, L.R. Evans, J.M. Luce, B. Lo, and D.B. White.
Doctors sometimes have difficulty breaking bad news to patients and their family members. Some doctors are concerned that sharing bad news with a patient will take away most or all of the patient's hope for survival. In instances when patients are too sick to discuss their situation with their doctors, doctors discuss the patient's condition with family members. Little is known about family members' preferences for hearing bad news from their relative's doctors.
To assess family members' preferences for hearing bad news from their relative's doctors.
179 family members of seriously ill patients hospitalized in intensive care units at a hospital in San Francisco, California.
In face-to-face interviews, the researchers asked the family members if they thought it was all right for doctors to withhold bad news to maintain their hope.
Nearly all of the family members said that withholding bad news was not an acceptable way to maintain their hope. Many thought that sharing bad news would help them prepare for their relative's death and for the future and support each other. Others said they relied on doctors for the truth about their relative's medical condition. They relied on other sources, such as God or religion, for hope.
The researchers only assessed family members' attitudes. They did not look at the results of sharing or withholding bad news.
Most relatives of sick family members want doctors to share bad news with them so they can prepare for their family members' death.

I remember having difficulties with powers, radical expressions and function domain. Algebrator is a truly great piece of algebra software. I have used it through several math classes - Remedial Algebra, Intermediate algebra and Pre Algebra. I would simply type in the problem from a workbook and by clicking on Solve, step by step solution would appear. The program is highly recommended.

When last we discussed the tension between Republican Paul Bettencourt, in his role as Harris County voter registrar, and Republican Jim Harding, chairman of the bi-partisan board that decided which provisional ballots from the Nov. 4 election should be accepted and counted, Harding accused Bettencourt of intimidation.
Harding said last week that Bettencourt had improperly tried to tell the ballot board how to do its job by leaving emotional messages on Harding's voice mail. Bettencourt denied it. "Intimidation of a public official" is a crime in Texas.
The county attorney's office looked into it after having Bettencourt's messages transcribed. And according to First Assistant County Attorney John Barnhill, the messages contained no evidence of intimidation and therefore do not need to be investigated or referred to the DA's office.
The transcript reveals that after Harding told the Chronicle that records provided to the ballot board were faulty, Republican ballot board poll watcher Kathy Haigler, who was present for Harding's conversation with a reporter, relayed Harding's comments to Bettencourt. Harding also had said that the board had accepted many ballots cast by voters with voter registrations Bettencourt's office considered incomplete.
In turn, Bettencourt's calls to Harding included this statement:
Mr. Harding, you — you have my home phone number. You know where I work. I expect that you at least have the professional bone in your body to call me so I can refute your comments. And I can't believe that anyone would do this without talking to the officeholder and the people there in the staff first. It is just unconscionably unprofessional. Just — I can't believe it.
. . . This is just so sad, and I expected a call, sir. I demand a call. I expect a face-to-face meeting. I have never had this happen before.
Harding, a retired business exec, said he didn't make the call or have the meeting.

The methodology section also provides information about the sampling method and whether subjects were randomly assigned or not (in experimental studies). Pay specific attention to these points, because they are among the first steps in conducting research, and flaws that occur here can render the results invalid.
One also should bear in mind the way in which the data collection is done. For example, in nutritional epidemiology investigating the role of food and nutrition in human health and disease, dietary consumption is frequently assessed. The complexity of the human diet makes this measurement a major challenge. The most accurate information on food intake can be obtained by food diaries or dietary records, where people record their daily dietary intake over short periods of time. Another method often used is a food frequency questionnaire. This has some limitations, as it relies on individuals recalling what they consumed previously over a period of time (e.g. months) and there may have been dietary changes in this time. These uncertainty aspects of dietary intake reports should be taken into account when epidemiological associations are reported.

That means Texas-sized Rodney Blake - a man without a team just six months ago - became the first center to bring a professional basketball title to the Lone Star state when, on April 27, he and his fellow Wichita Falls Texans wrapped up the Continental Basketball Association championship.
Anyone who has seen the former Monsignor Bonner High and St. Joseph's University star would readily admit that Blake, a massive 6-foot-8 and 250 pounds, doesn't possess the athleticism of "The Admiral" or the leaping ability of "The Dream."

Chicken Skewers With Spicy Peanut Sauce
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 30 mins
A spicy, fun way to dress up the boneless skinless chicken breasts we always have on hand. These work as a main dish for a weeknight meal, or a different appetizer or snack for a casual party.
Ingredients Nutrition
For Sauce
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 inch piece lemongrass
- 1 tablespoon Asian chili sauce (like Sriracha)
- 1⁄4 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 1⁄2 lime, juice of
For chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 16 bamboo skewers
- 1⁄2 lime, juice of
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cardamom
- Combine all sauce ingredients in a food processor and mix. Thin as needed with a little water or rice vinegar, just until sauce is smooth. It will be very thick at this stage. This is okay!
- Cut each chicken breast lengthwise into four strips. Toss strips with lime juice, soy sauce, vinegar and cardamom. Allow to sit in this mixture for about an hour.
- Preheat grill or broiler, and cook chicken until done and lightly browned.
- Warm sauce in a small saucepan, and drizzle over cooked chicken, or serve on the side for dipping.

With only one exception, I pretty much followed the recipe on this ~ I did, however, make only half a recipe & included just 1 teaspoon of the chili sauce! We loved the taste of this unusual chicken dish, & the next time I'll be making this recipe as appetizers for a monthly group that I host! Thanks for posting it! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]
This was really good and my whole family enjoyed it a lot. There was one step that was missed, even though it was easy to figure out - skewering the chicken! :) I didn't use lemongrass because I didn't want to go out just to buy that. I also don't have cardamom or cilantro because I don't like them. My sauce wasn't too thick after I heated it, in fact it was perfect. I put it in the microwave on low for a few seconds and it was just right. Maybe if I used the other ingredients, it would have been different. Taking a vote here, it warranted 4.5 stars, but since I can't do that and there was a step missing, I thought 4 stars were fair. Thanks!
This smelled great while I was mixing everything together. I loved the flavors of the sauce but it wouldn't get smooth even when heated in the saucepan. I added more vinegar and sriracha chili sauce but I didn't want to add too much and dilute the flavors plus I wanted to prepare this as written because I was reviewing it for the RSC contest#13. So next time, I would lessen the peanut butter and add more liquid to give a dipping quality to the sauce. The cardamom was an interesting flavor on the chicken but one I would leave off if I made these again. I would have liked the cilantro to come through a little more so I would add more of that next time. Had fun making these, thanks!!

He fell short of victory by a mere eight votes.
Is Santorum's strong showing in Iowa a sign that he will be a serious challenger to Romney for the Republican nomination — or is he merely the next in a long line of "anti-Romney" candidates unable to sustain momentum over the long haul?

Certainly, the big Penn State news of the week is the departure of men's basketball coach, Ed DeChellis. However, it is also a time to celebrate a significant step for another blue and white program.
The Penn State softball season came to a bittersweet end over the weekend, as the Nittany Lions lost a 3-1 heartbreaker to No. 12 Oregon in the NCAA regionals. Just missing an appearance in Super Regionals on the way to the Women's College World Series, the Penn State squad still has plenty to be proud of as they close the book on their 2011 campaign.
The Nittany Lions not only advanced to the tournament for the first time since 2007, Robin Petrini's squad earned the opportunity to host NCAA action for the first time in nearly three decades.
Certainly, home field advantage is just that - a great benefit for a championship-seeking team. But this year, it was also the chance for Penn State to show off its brand new Nittany Lion Softball Park and Beard Field.
The new complex features a long list of amenities that rival some of the best facilities in the country. Coach Petrini has called it "facility worthy of the program," and this year the program performed as a national contender.
The future is bright for the young squad, whose coaching staff now has a world-class facility to use as a recruiting tool, not to mention a solid nucleus returning. Penn State finished NCAA Regionals with a 2-2 record; they took to the field for their final game with five sophomores and two freshmen in the starting lineup. While the Nittany Lions lose Jackie Hill, one of the best pitchers in program history to graduation, they undoubtedly finish 2011 with a hunger to return to the NCAA tournament in the future, and the talent to reach that goal.
The new softball complex will be the home of the PIAA championships this season, giving the state's best high school squads a fitting venue for their pursuit of gold. Central Pennsylvania has been a hotbed for high school softball for years, and the resurgence of the Penn State program, combined with the new facility and talented scholastic and traveling softball programs in our region only serves to elevate the prestige of the sport even further.
East coast college softball will always have to contend with a difficult climate; most northeastern teams spend more time practicing indoors than outside throughout the year, and can have only a limited number of home games once the weather finally breaks.
Still, the commitment that Penn State has shown to the softball program, as well as the Nittany Lions' success this season will undoubtedly reap rewards in coming years, not only for PSU, but for all of Pennsylvania softball.

On Monday, Washington Post blogger Jennifer Rubin suggested that the senators, who are at odds with the Republican party on the issue, might hold the key to the silver lining of immigration reform.

If You Want to be a Less Frustrated Parent, Put Down Your PhoneLori Garcia
Like a lot of parents, I'm pretty attached to my phone. As a natural extension of my right hand, my phone serves as a portal of infinite human communication — one that has saved me from the awkwardness of genuine human interaction, and of course, kept me in the ever-important loop of viral cat videos. Priorities, people.
But for all the wonderful things my phone does (look Ma, people in the palm of my hand!), what it's never done is made me a better parent.
Unlike my husband who is equally nomophobic, I don't use my phone as a device to engage with my kids (mostly because I'm afraid they'll drop it). We don't watch those aforementioned cat videos together, nor do we engage in other app-friendly moments of parental bliss. I use my phone for business and pleasure because it's there and frankly, so totally awesome.
And while my kids are without a doubt, my absolute favorite people on this good earth, I'm beginning to fear that my bionic phone-hand is telling them something different.
In a new study published by Pediatrics, researchers identified patterns of cell phone usage by caregivers and then came up with theories on mobile technology's impact on caregiver-child relationships. Ooof.
Now this is the part of the blog post when I admit that I was scared to read the study findings. Lock-me-up-and-throw-away-the-key guilty of distracted parenting by way of iPhone, it came as no surprise that nearly 73 percent of caregiver participants used their mobile devices while interacting with children. As unfortunate as that statistic seems, it gets worse. The impact of mobile technology on our kids actually had less to do with usage than the degree of caregiver absorption in said mobile device.
So tell me, are you checking your phone really quickly while eating with your kids or are you … scrolling through your entire Instagram feed because you really like that one girl's style and hey, her outfit is cute! I wonder what else she's wearing on her Insta-feed? She got that from where? Lemme just pull up that store on Safari and hey! New members get 15 percent off their first order just for joining the mailing list, let's see here … firstname.lastname@example.com … better check my email for that coupon code, there it is, lemme just click that email store link, oh those shoes are cute and on sale and yay! Fifteen percent off, add to cart, enter credit card — SOLD! New shoes will arrive at the end of the week … absorbed by your phone?
Lead study author and pediatrician Dr. Jenny Radesky told CNN, "(Absorbed caregivers) seemed very irritated and flustered at trying to balance their attention between parenting and whatever they were doing on their device." Oh man, I am so guilty of this.
Radesky goes on to say, "Another major dynamic was that the child kept trying to make conversation and the caregiver would respond in a way that was delayed or didn't seem attuned to what the child was saying." Yep, guilty of this, too.
So what do kids do when a parent is more absorbed by the lure of their phone than by the opportunity to properly parent? They act up, because hey, negative attention is better than no attention. But before we go all, "DON'T DO THAT! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M
WATCHING A VIRAL VIDEO OF DOGS DANCING IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING!" on our kids, maybe we need to stop and consider the precious opportunities with our kids that we're giving up when we devote our attention instead to the lunch status updates of our high school alumni.
I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but mealtimes with our kids offer an invitation for genuine connection with the people we love most. Whataya say we put the phone down; rumor has it that the best stuff happens when we stop and look up.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Joyland' started by AnnaMarie, Feb 11, 2014.
Valid point!
Joyland is great. I read it in two days.
IMO: the plot doesn't matter. This story has memorable characters like Mr. Easterbrook and Tom. Even the floozy Wendy is a good character. I was expecting her to say, "Let's take a selfie."
Good characters, good writing, Great story.
I had no problem reading Joyland, and in less than 36 hours. I have had trouble starting some Stephen King books in the past. It probably took me six or eight tries to get into Bag of Bones, but once I did, I really enjoyed it. Ditto Desperation, Duma Key, Insomnia and The Cell, although they may have taken a couple fewer tries each. I have never completely given up on a Stephen King book. Usually I read it right after it comes out. And mostly I read it quickly., forgoing such things as sleep or work.
If you can't take the heat don't swim with the big dogs.
Have you read Lisey's Story? - I found that one hard to get into but it did get better and by the end I liked it a lot.
That's another one that I had to start a few times. His last three non dark tower novels were all ones I read right away. In fact I read 11/22/63 twice in the first weel after it came out. At the risk of sounding old, I remember what I was doing that day, 11/22/63 not the day the book came out. I was in kindergarten at W B Patterson Elementary School in Washington DC and the teacher got a message and she started crying and told us what happened and we got sent home. Then they shut down the city and I didn't see my father, who was a marine for about 5 days. In my mind 11/22/63, or perhaps Just After Sunset, kicked off a now golden age of Stephen King for me.
I did finish it, and finishing provided reason enough to wish I had not. Here we have a young man of age during the time of Vietnam, the 60s, perhaps early 70s but definitely a time when others his age were out-and-about, voicing their political concerns. Yeah, sure, read Hearts in Atlantis. So I was thrown off the story at the end when he gets political about Chenney's heart. Like, give me a puckin' break! And that is a laughable hoot considering some of my recent posts that have been edited for content. I think what we have here is failure to communicate. Heh! The guy isn't political, at all, throughout the story...the story was not politics. But King has to throw in that vitriol about Chenney's heart at the end and I believe the story suffers because of it. And I know damn well those who love the Juice still believe he is as innocent as Wonder Bread. Such is life.
I was in kindergarten too (hmmm - we must be the same age)
Walter, I was just out of college during that time (I graduated from Kent State University in August 1969) and am a Vietnam veteran. During my college years, MOST of the student body didn't care one bit about any political concerns--all they were interested in was getting through the coursework and their girl or boy friends. It was only a very small minority (including some outsiders) that caused the upheaval in May of 1970 at the University--my wife, daughter and I lived right across the street from the campus at the time.

Amid rumours of cancellation of the India-Sri Lanka second one-dayer in Visakhapatnam, the Andhra Cricket Association (ACA) on Saturday said the match will be held as scheduled despite the Telangana crisis.
"The match is very much on. All arrangements are in place and we will start sale of tickets from Monday," ACA president Gokaraju Gangaraju told PTI from Vijayawada.
Gangaraju dispelled rumours that the match might get cancelled in view of the prevailing crisis over Telangana.
"We have spoken to the Joint Action Committee that is organising the protests and it has assured us that the match will not be disturbed," Gangaraju added.
Rumours started spreading that the second ODI would be cancelled after the scheduled sale of tickets for the India-Sri Lanka match was put on hold.
Asked if the match is doubtful because of the ongoing agitation, Visakhapatnam City Commissioner of Police, N Samba Siva Rao said the information available with him was that BCCI is for going ahead with the match.
Samba Siva Rao said he was keeping a watch on the current situation and said additional forces would be required for maintaining security around the stadium apart from controlling the protesters.
"If the tendency of protests continues further, we will definitely request for more security forces as conduct of an international event also requires deployment of more number of police force," the top cop said.
It was earlier reported that the political crisis in Andhra Pradesh over the Telangana issue has hit cricket as well and the BCCI is planning to shift the second one-dayer in Visakhapatnam to another venue due to security concerns.
Sources in the BCCI say the sale of tickets for the December 18 match has been put on hold for the time being.
"We are discussing the possibility of either shifting the match to another venue or cancel it altogether due to the ongoing political crisis. A decision will be taken soon," sources said.
A fresh schedule for the five-match series, starting December 15 in Rajkot, would be issued in the next couple of days.
Andhra Pradesh has been on the boil ever since Home Minister P Chidambaram said that the process for the formation of a separate state of Telangana would be initiated and a resolution would be moved in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly.
The Home Minister's announcement came after Telangana Rashtriya Samiti chief K Chandrasekhar Rao went on a fast unto death demanding the creation of Telangana.
Chidambaram's announcement stoked a political furore in the state with even the ruling Congress party divided over the issue.

Between three Super Bowl victories and 26 Hall of Famers, the Washington Redskins are one of the most storied franchises in NFL history.
The franchise was established in 1932 soon after professional football became relevant. The team itself has experienced some big changes over time as they were originally the Boston Braves before changing the name to Redskins in 1933. The team eventually moved to Washington in 1937.
One thing that hasn't changed over time is the legacy of legendary players that have worn the burgundy and gold. From top to bottom, their all-time roster is filled with stars, most notably John Riggins and Sammy Baugh.
Nowadays, their prestige isn't what it used to be, but that doesn't mean they haven't had their fair share of legends.
It's certainly hard to pick just 10 players that perfectly represent the Redskins, but here's my best shot.

on November 17, 2012 - 7:54 PM
ALBANY – Six weeks after the 9/11 terrorist attack in 2001, New York lawmakers rushed back to Albany for a special session and passed a series of money-raising solutions for a state devastated by the attacks.
Leading the way was the greatest expansion of gambling in state history, including three Seneca casinos in Western New York, casino gambling at existing racetracks and the state's entrance into a national lottery.
Eleven years later, a similar scenario is playing out to expand gambling in New York even further because of the devastation from Superstorm Sandy and its huge cost to the state.
Gambling interests met last week with senior-level Cuomo administration officials over ways to quickly increase revenues from gambling operations.
"The state needs money, we've been good partners, we're here and we're prepared to go forward quickly," said James Featherstonhaugh, a Albany lobbyist and president of the New York Gaming Association, which represents the nine tracks in the state with casinos.
Meanwhile, gambling critics from 2001 are now renewing their efforts, with accusations that lawmakers and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo will try to take advantage of Sandy's economic devastation to put more casinos in operation.
"This is going to be the narrative we'll be given: that we have to have these casinos to offset Sandy's impact," said the Rev. Jason McGuire, executive director of New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms, a religious organization that went to court a decade ago and unsuccessfully challenged the gambling expansion.
Topping the list of gambling proposals is one proposing more casinos in New York. Lawmakers earlier this year approved the first step to amend the state constitution to permit up to seven Las Vegas-style casinos at undetermined locations on non-Indian lands. The State Legislature must act again in the new year if the plan, promoted chiefly by Cuomo, is to go before voters in a statewide referendum next November.
Even before the casino expansion question is resolved, the gambling industry is pushing new gambling proposals that would generate more state revenue.
Efforts are afoot to permit some racetrack-based casinos to keep their doors open 24 hours a day, instead of the 18 hours now allowed.
Another idea calls for increasing the betting action by allowing bettors to reinvest winnings at the machines instead of walking away from the gambling rooms and going to a nearby kiosk to cash in.
Others are pushing for a greater mix of electronic games at the racetrack casinos, such as blackjack and poker, which now are not allowed.
"That alone would produce for the state ... something on the order of $150 million," Featherstonhaugh said of the expansion of electronic games.
And Featherstonhaugh's organization believes that the Cuomo administration has the power to expand the electronic games on it own.
Still others are making a more ambitious push: Permit the track-based casinos to offer poker with trained dealers, not machines.
Though critics say such an idea is illegal under the state's constitution, backers see some wiggle room following a federal court judge's ruling in August. The judge tossed out the conviction of an operator of a Staten Island poker parlor, in part, because the poker games were considered games of skill and not games of chance, which are banned by New York.
And then there is the broader debate about allowing up to seven new casinos. Several tracks, including one in Queens run by a Malaysian gambling company, are most interested in bidding on rights for full-blown casinos.
Other tracks, such as one owned by Buffalo's Delaware North, are likely more interested in expansion into electronic table games like poker.
In the mix also are some of the major gambling names, all of which already have lobbyists on retainers in Albany: Caesars Entertainment, MGM Resorts and Wynn Resorts.
Some industry insiders say Superstorm Sandy will make it easier to put casinos in downstate areas, such as hard-hit Coney Island in Brooklyn or even in Manhattan, all under the claim of needed economic development.
Eleven years ago, some lawmakers argued that state officials should not use a tragedy to promote more gambling.
Then-State Sen. Thomas Duane, a Manhattan Democrat, called the tie-in between the terror attacks and gambling expansion "a complete disgrace."
"I don't see any way that our passing a resolution to allow people to vote on gambling to be fulfilling our patriotic duty," he told his colleagues that October night. "We're using the guise of the terrible tragedy ... to make New York one of the biggest gaming states in the nation."
But Assemblyman Gary Pretlow, chairman of the racing and wagering committee, last week dismissed any comparison with 2001.
"We're not going to put a casino on Staten Island just because Staten Island is devastated," the Westchester County Democrat said.
Even before Sandy, there was deep support among lawmakers to pass an amendment allowing casino expansion and putting it to a state referendum, he said.
"It [the storm] may bolster the argument, but I don't think we had a problem doing second passage anyway," he said. "I see the impact of the storm on the state; I don't see the impact of the storm on the possibility for or not having full-fledged casinos in the state."
Numerous scenarios are kicking about in Albany.
One theory is that Cuomo begins the bidding process for casinos before a statewide referendum so that, if it passes, he can quickly award contracts and Albany can collect franchise fees. Some estimate the fees could top $1 billion.
That would allow the governor to "book" revenues in a coming year already projected to be in the red by at least $2 billion.
But lawmakers will want to know specifics before passing another casino bill next year, according to State Sen. John Bonacic, a Republican who represents the southern Catskills region.
Still uncertain is whether the state would try to locate another casino in Western New York – which would be a clear violation of the decade-old exclusivity deal between the state and the Seneca Nation.
Superstorm Sandy, Bonacic said, has put "an exclamation point" on the fact that New York is going to need to raise money next year.
"Sandy certainly makes the argument stronger, not only for fiscal relief but for help with new infrastructure," he said.
But McGuire, the head of the religious group that opposes the gambling measures, said "We've been down this road before, and it didn't lead us out of the wilderness [in 2001], and this won't either."

Japanese delegation to be welcomed at reception
Bothell residents are invited to attend a reception welcoming a delegation of ten junior high school students from Koganei, Japan and their chaperones, who are arriving to participate in a Northshore area cultural exchange program.
The reception will be held on Thursday, July 23, at 1:30 p.m. in the City Council Chambers located at 18305 101st Ave. NE in downtown Bothell.
This is the seventh year that the City of Koganei, located near Tokyo, has sent a group of students to stay with Northshore area families and exchange cultural information.
The welcoming ceremony is being sponsored jointly by the City of Bothell and the Northshore School District.
Mayor Debbie Treen, Interim City Manager Mike Caldwell, Northshore School Board President B-Z Davis and Northshore School District Executive Director for Elementary Education Becky Clausen will be present to welcome this year's delegation from Koganei.
In addition, a new participant in this year's reception will be Cedar Park School, a private Christian School located in Bothell. Clint Behrends, Administrator of Cedar Park School, will be on hand to greet the delegation.
In October of this year, ten students participating in Cedar Park's Japanese School program will be accompanying Mayor Debbie Treen, Councilmember Jeff Merrill and Cedar Park Assistant Administrator Kay McIntosh on a week-long journey to Koganei City.
Their visit will coincide with the 40th anniversary of Koganei City becoming a municipality.
These Cedar Park students who will be visiting Koganei in the fall will be hosting this group of Koganei Junior High students visiting Bothell.
After the reception, the students will tour Woodmoor Elementary School and Bothell Fire Station Headquarters before meeting their Cedar Park host families at City Hall. They will spend four days and nights with their local families before continuing their trip with a tour of Victoria, British Columbia.
The American Cultural Exchange, a non-profit international education institution, is assisting the City with this program.

TBS wrecks the hang, cancels 'My Boys'
One of the most disappointing, if not surprising, pieces of TV news from late yesterday: TBS has canceled "My Boys."
It seemed obvious the show wasn't going to go past this fourth season when Jordana Spiro and Kyle Howard got cast in pilots. (And because TBS waited to make things official, both got dumped from those shows.) But despite the absence of Jim Gaffigan, I'd argue that this final season was either the show's strongest, or second-strongest after season two.
As I've written often, "My Boys" was never the funniest comedy out there, but the cast was really likable and had wonderful chemistry, and it was fun just to hang out with them. I'll miss it, though I'm glad Sunday night's finale gave some level of closure to most of the characters.
And on occasion, "My Boys" could be very, very funny. For those who never watched the show - or who want something to laugh at in the face of this disappointing news, I give you... the douchebag intervention.

The Rosner-Cohen Exchange Part I: So, how many Jewish people are there exactly?
This is the first part in a dialogue with Prof. Steven Cohen, following the publication of the New York Community study. We will be discussing many issues over the next couple of weeks, and readers are more than welcome to weigh in, send questions or comments, and take part in this conversation about Jewish life in America today.
Rosner asks Cohen: So, how many Jewish people are there exactly?
A couple years ago, you made a name for yourself by provoking the Jewish world to consider the possibility of a growing divide between two Jewish people, the in-married and the intermarried (see: A Tale of Two Jewries). Not that you didn't have a name before this much talked-about study, but the provocation was noted, debated, criticized. Of course, no consensus was ever reached on the matter – yet consensus is hardly a Jewish value. However, your description of the matter stuck and is still quoted in articles and discussions.
Enter the latest New York Jewish community study (that you wrote together with Jack Ukeles and Ron Miller) with its many details, and it seems to me that a new Jewish divide should be considered. Yes, the study still points to the many differences in Jewish practice and beliefs between the in-married and the intermarried. However, to me the most notable gap manifesting itself in this study is a much more tangible gap - one that is dividing the New York Jewish community, but is also dividing the Israeli Jewish community. Hence, this is the real significant Jewish divide of our time.
If you haven't yet understood where I'm going, permit me to provide some detail:
One the one side - the progressive and secular Jewish world with its many components: A community that isn't always much connected to Jewish identity and practice, but is educated, affluent and quite successful, economically speaking. They have less by way of daily Jewish life, but more resources with which to make Judaism available for all.
On the other side - the Orthodox Jewish world: Fast growing, vibrant and highly affiliated, Jewishly educated, well-connected to Israel, with a very low rate of assimilation and very high number of children. And it is relatively poor. The more they are affiliated, the less they have the resources with which to support the high cost of Jewish life.
Can this divide be bridged? Can we find a way to somehow overcome the seeming contradiction between affiliation and financial resources?
I'm not sure this description of your findings holds any water. But it's a way for me to start this ongoing discussion by talking about the parts of the study that seemed to disappear from the public's view faster than others - those dealing with poverty among New York's Jews. I'm trying to create a real discussion about the seeming connection between Orthodoxy and poverty.
So I'm turning it over to you…
Dear Shmuel,
Many thanks for providing this opportunity for examining some of the implications of the Jewish Community Study of New York: 2011, that I was very pleased to co-author along with Jack Ukeles and Ron Miller.
Your call to focus on the divide and differences between Orthodox and non-Orthodox Jews is, indeed, well-placed. As our study amply demonstrates – and as your comment underscores – Orthodox and non-Orthodox Jews differ on so many dimensions of Jewish engagement, demographic patterns, and worldviews.
But I think it would be a mistake to ignore another critical divide (as maybe you are suggesting) among the non-Orthodox: that distinguishing the intermarried or the children of the intermarried from the majority of non-Orthodox Jews who are the children of two Jewish parents and are either non-married or in-married. In other words, rather than divide the world into two (either Orthodox/non-Orthodox OR in-married/intermarried), I prefer to divide the world into three (Orthodox, in-married or unmixed ancestry non-Orthodox, intermarried and mixed ancestry). The differences across these boundaries are real, even as the groups do bleed into each other.
For example, how wide, in fact, is the difference between the Modern Orthodox parent of a Ramaz Yeshiva student, and the Sabbath-observant parent of a Schechter day school student? Or, for that matter, who is likely to be more engaged in Jewish life: the non-married Reform-identifying young adult or his/her intermarried parents who belong to a thriving Reform temple? In short, the divides I (and you) are suggesting do make sense, but they need to be qualified with a consciousness of their imprecision and fluidity.
In fact, each of the three camps I'm suggesting itself may be divided in two. Among the Orthodox, we found incredibly large differences between the Modern Orthodox and the Haredim, especially with respect to participating in the larger Jewish community. Among the in-married non-Orthodox, we found substantial differences between Conservative and Reform Jews, especially if affiliated, countering the widely held notion that the two venerable denominations are no longer meaningful. And among the intermarried population (be it by ancestry or current circumstance), Jews divide significantly between those who see Judaism as their religion and those who do not.
In short, Orthodox/non-Orthodox obscures and distorts reality too much. It leads you to obliquely characterize the non-Orthodox Jewish world as "progressive and secular," and to speak of the Jewish community within it in the following way: "A community that isn't always much connected to Jewish identity and practice." The data that Jack, Ron and I analyzed in depth say otherwise. The (non-Orthodox) Jewish community – those who are engaged in Jewish life but do not identify as Orthodox – is very much "connected to Jewish identity and practice," sometimes "progressive," and does not see itself very much as "secular."
In short, the Orthodox/non-Orthodox divide, when unqualified, leads even some very smart, sympathetic and experienced observers in Jewish life in the United States to downwardly biased assessment of Jewish life and vitality among the non-Orthodox.
This leads me to my last point. As much as I value the focus on the demographic issues of in-marriage and birthrates for analytic and policy purposes, I believe we need to see Jewish demography and Jewish communal vitality as related but distinct dimensions. As important as is population growth/decline, it is not the total measure of cultural, communal, and spiritual success (or failure). From a policy point of view, we cannot assume that inspiring communities automatically promote in-marriage, high birthrates, and Jews (or non-Jews) choosing Jewish engagement. Just as we need policies and practices that strengthen Jewish communities and life, so too do we need SEPARATE policies and practices that improve the likelihood of Jews marrying Jews, Jews parenting Jews, as well as Jews and non-Jews engaging in Jewish life.
In short, we need to think of at least three population segments, not two; and two sets of policies, not one. The Orthodox, in-married, and intermarried merit our distinctive attention. So to does Jewish vitality and Jewish demography.
(Last, I need to note, that the views I expressed above are my own, and ought not be attributed to the UJA-Federation of New York, the sponsor of the study, or to Dr. Jacob Ukeles and Prof. Ron Miller, the two other authors.)

If a New Jersey high school swim fan were to drive to all four Camden County swim powers in one day, it's not the gas-guzzling trip it may seem. Going door to door to door to door with no highways involved would take all of 35 minutes or so. And that's with traffic.
Making it even easier for a reporter to catch all four teams in action, these schools -- Bishop Eustace, Cherry Hill East, Cherry Hill West and Haddonfield -- all met on one day at one pool for a triple-header at Camden County Tech in Sicklerville.
The first meet saw the Cherry Hill West girls, ranked No. 3 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, defeat No. 9 Bishop Eustace, 95-75.
This is a blog about the girls' half of the second meet, a double dual between No. 8 Cherry Hill East and No. 13 Haddonfield:
The memory of a 60-point loss to Cherry Hill West last week was still fresh in the minds of the Haddonfield girls, according to team captains Laura DeFeo and Dana Stone.
So Haddonfield used the memory of that disappointment to fuel senior night.
As Stone put it, ``We definitely didn't want to be embarrassed again, like we were in the Cherry Hill West meet.''
Individual victories by Emily Rollo (200-yard individual medley, 2:15.75), DeFeo (50 freestyle, 25.18), Jessie Cashman (100 butterfly, 1:01.52) and Alex Lincoln (100 free 56.16) helped build a 24-point lead for Haddonfield, which then hung on for an 89-81 decision.
``We've been talking about this meet since Saturday,'' DeFeo said. ``We sat down with the coaches and were talking about the lineup. I think the butterfly turned the meet around.''
In the 100 fly, Haddonfield fashioned a 1-2-3 finish thanks to Cashman, Emily Rollo (1:02.23) and Stone (1:02.46). That gave Haddonfield a 49-29 edge. Building on the momentum of the accompanying boys meet, in which Haddonfield owned a 34-point cushion, the Haddonfield girls were simply too tough to stop at that point.
Too tough to stop, but not invulnerable.
Cherry Hill East finished first in the last three events and out-pointed Haddonfield in all three as well to narrow the gap down to the final eight-point margin. Jaimie Lynn Brookover won the 100 back (1:00.81), Marta Lawler took the 100 breast in 1:13.03, and East's Shelly Faykes, Mackenzie Ropka, Brookover and Marlee Ehrlich won the 400 free relay in 3:47.23.
Ehrlich, an All-Stater last season who's headed for Harvard next fall, was terrific. The meet's only double winner, she swept the distance freestyle events, going 2:00.11 in the 200 free and 5:17.49 in the 500 free.
Both teams will be in action on Saturday for the South Jersey Coaches Invitational, at the Gloucester County Institute of Technology in Sewell, the site of the NJSIAA Meet of Champions March 3-4.

Gears of War 3
(360 )
Brothers to the endBy Adam Price Score:
Oct 24, 2011 2:32PM PST
Gears of war 1 turned up underneath my christmas tree the year I got my first xbox (20gb). I ran upstairs the begining of christmas day at 9am I set up my xbox on my 21 inch TFT Tv Set up my xbox live added my friend joined private chat with him as we both busted gears of war out of the factory wrapping and into my xbox where it stayed for 4 months. We both watched with awe and amazement as we started up the co-op campaign. 9 hours and one dead general ramm later we both sat in silence before it was finally broken by my friend saying "lets do that again, But... On Insane" And thus A new game got added to my list of all time favourites.
So imagine my pure excitment on Monday the 20th Of september 2011 21 years old stood in my local game store in newport, south wales watching with utter envy as the people who had been waiting hours before me left the store with their copies of Gears Of War 3. It was a pain staking wait at 1 in the morning and made even worse by the fact I knew i would have to go to bed before playing the game to make it up for uni at 9 the next day. The next 12 hours dragged so much. However I kept telling myself that this was all just part of the fun, I knew that once my half day was over I was free for the following week. I sat down Partyed up with my 3 bro's as we took Marcus, Dom, Carmine, Cole and Baired on their last venture into Sera and the grubs, Lambent, formers and array of other enemies to shoot, blow up, chainsaw and bayonet through. Tackling this on harcore was a must for the first play through, After all this aint my first rodeo!
This Gears felt different, there was much more emotion and hollywood style direction to the characters. We all knew this would be our last time round with The Cogs but we didnt quite know what to expect. Gears Of War 3 didnt fail to deliver, It wrapped up everything beautifully, It brought closure to the trillogy with some unexpected twist and turns along the path.
This was the gears of war that all the fans were expecting to be delivered, It was polished, Slick, Beautifully presented with a storyline that has you hooked from the second you relive marcus being broken out of prision (deja vu anyone), Matching the right amount of kick ass hollywood explosions and gun play with the emotion driven writting and acting.
I will Say very little for the storyline as I dont want to riddle this review with spoilers. But I will say my only true beef with the whole campaign storyline is one thing, the ending did feel a little bit cop-out/cleche. Thats not to say it was bad but it did feel a bit "yeah we were a bit stumpt on how to end it, Is this okay?" however maybe that is me nit picking as a fan from the first game.
Multiplayer, Of course how would a review be complete without touching on the hours of multiplayer, horde and new Beast mode. Let me break this down to make it much more simple
Multiplayer - Its still badass its still as brutual as ever and its still the most fun experience I have had on xbox live, I do miss the days before PARTYING UP! When everyone would be heard on the game so you could rant, plan and chat with other gamers world wide, But partying up of course does make you gather up your friends and play online with them. all the classics are here. the good old deathmatch. King Of the hill Warzone Etc etc. Its all brillient its all fun its all what we want.
Horde - Introduced in Gears 2 This little beauty consists of surviving 50 waves pinned down with your mates. In gears 2 I have fond memories of shoving yourself in a corner surrounding yourself in sheilds and fighting it out from there. Epic took this idea and made it work on a much bigger scale. You want to block yourself in? okay how about some lazor beam barriers to stop the waves comming near you, Or maybe a cardboard cut out of cole to confuse and distract those stupid locust whilst you pick them off with a sniper rifle from across the map, turrets? we got them! this adds a whole new dynamic as well as allowing the leveling up of fortification skills which will benfit everyone in the long run. Also is that a silverback ive just unlocked? Oh baby!
Beast Mode - Wanted to charge at marcus before a big angry berserker well now you really can. Beast mode allows you to play as a range of locust from wretches and tickers to centipieds, maulers and berserkers, you must throw yourself against 12 waves of progressivly harder human CPU opponants, its alot like horde but with you playing locust and a alot of fun. Not to mention 5 player online... Yes please!
Over all Its hard to nit pick on Gears Of War 3. Everything is just wonderful, There may be one or two technical/graphic glitches here and there but thats unfortunatly part of the "patch it later" era. I have played through this for over a month and thought i was about in a position to give a fair and just review and I hope ive done this, If you havent played a gears of war game yet and you own a 360, Go out buy them they are the most fun you will have on the xbox. For those of you who have yet to pick up GOW3 I hope I may have helped you come to a decision about picking this up... as for me.. I have Cardboard Cole cut outs to repair!

BANGKOK — Thai police have rescued hundreds of Rohingya Muslims from a remote camp in a raid prompted by a Reuters investigation into human trafficking, police officials said on Monday.
Police detained 531 men, women and children in Sunday's raid at a camp near the town of Sadao in the southern province of Songkhla, on a well-established route for human smugglers near Thailand's border with Malaysia. It was the first raid on illegal Rohingya smuggling camps since Jan. 9, 2013.
The police said they were following up on a Dec. 5 Reuters report that Rohingya were held hostage in camps hidden near the border with Malaysia until relatives pay ransoms to release them. Some were beaten and killed.
The Rohingya are mostly stateless Muslims from Burma. Deadly clashes between Rohingya and ethnic Arakanese Buddhists erupted in Buddhist-majority Burma last year, making 140,000 people homeless, most of them Rohingya.
Since then, tens of thousands of Rohingya have fled from Burma by boat and many arrive off southwest Thailand.
The United Nations and the United States called for an investigation into the Reuters report, based on a two months of research in three countries, that revealed a clandestine policy to remove Rohingya refugees from Thai immigration detention centers and deliver them to human traffickers waiting at sea.
"After Reuters gave us information, we ordered an investigation into the camps," said Chatchawan Suksomjit, deputy national police chief. He said they captured three suspected ringleaders at the camp, all of them Thai males.
Reuters gave the Thai authorities coordinates to one camp near Sadao which was empty by the time they arrived, but police found another camp nearby.
"From the Reuters report, we received a clue that it was in Kao Roop Chang [village]. But the camp was already moved from there when we found it. We found only an empty camp there. So we investigated more until we found the new camp," said Colonel Kan Tammakasem, superintendent of immigration in Songkhla.
The plight of the Rohingya illustrates the limits to Burma's wave of democratic reforms since military rule ended in March 2011. Inside Burma, they face apartheid-like conditions and, according to the United Nations, many forms of "persecution, discrimination and exploitation."
US Scrutiny
Police are trying to identify the origins of those detained after the raid, not all of whom were Rohingya, said Chatchawan. "We are interviewing all of them to see if they are victims of human trafficking," he said.
They are being kept at an immigration detention center in Songkhla.
"We have to interview them and proceed according to Thai immigration laws," he said. "It will depend on whether they want to go back. If they are willing we will send them back as we have done before."
Last year, Thailand implemented a secretive policy to deport the Rohingya.
These deportations delivered many Rohingya back into the hands of smuggling networks and human traffickers, who in some cases ferried them back to Thailand's secret border camps, reported Reuters.
The raid comes as the US State Department is finalizing its research for its next Trafficking In Persons (TIP) report, due in June, which ranks countries on their counter-trafficking performance.
Thailand is Southeast Asia's second-biggest economy and a close US ally, but has a poor record in fighting trafficking and faces a possible downgrade to the report's lowest rank, putting it at risk of US sanctions and potentially placing it on a par with North Korea and Iran.
Nine people were arrested in Thailand in relation to Rohingya smuggling in 2013, including two government officials, according to police data, but none of the arrests has led to convictions.
chances are the majority are from Bangladesh and not Myanmar – it appears most are unable to speak any Burmese at all, even with the Yakhine accent. Passing themselves off as Rohingyas.
"Police are trying to identify the origins of those detained after the raid, not all of whom were Rohingya, said Chatchawan" – does it confirm that there are bengalis from bangladesh with those detained? If so, this incident should also be tallied with large number of "Rohingya" asylum seekers around the world, how many of them are 'rohingya' and how many 'bangladeshi'. Time and again it has been said in Burma that these rohingyas are bengali – and again and again the biased section of the western media have denied that these rohingyas are not bengalis, as the rohingyas themselves also demand. But in many European countries and in even as far as Australia, rohingya asylum seekers have heavily been joined by bangladeshi bengalis. The role of bangladeshi people smugglers should also be brought to light and if possible pressure created to stop this illegal human trafficking across the borders, aimed at exporting bengali illegal persons across the world.
The smugglers include Rohingya, Thais and Thai policemen. It has been going on for many years. It just did not start from the violence in Arakan State two years ago. The so-called boat people are Bengali people. Too crowded Bangladesh is abandoned by Bangladeshi(Bengali) for better life. Many flocked into Arakan State of Myanmar, and many are heading to Malaysia. Many robbers and rapists in Malaysia are these people. They rob and kill for even a cell phone. Now, the Thai police is acting like they never knew it before. Shame on them too. The Thai officials have been part of these human smuggling rings for the past many years. We know it very well.
Should we make language as Barometer- measurement for fixing Burmese national. I had been to Aka national villages from Shan state whose houses were on hill tops. They could not speak Burmese language. Should we fix them as foreigners. From 1982 onward Muslims in Maungdaw, Buthidaung have been living in big jail. They could not move one place to another, marriage restrictions and educations etc. If they could not go to school, how can they learn Burmese language. There are lot of Rakhine – Bengladeshi citizen who can speaks Rakhine language. Should we accept them as Burmese citizen. Language only should not be a criteria to segregate one national
Thai police got the location coordinates of the slave camp from Reuters. That says it all, really. Checking the Bangkok Post website today, I see no mention of this story. Not surprising, considering we've all known about the Slave Markets of Sadao [not to mention the slave sorting centres of the islands on the Andaman side] for around a decade and not a single official has been prosecuted. Tier 3 on the US trafficking report is a no-brainer for Thailand. They already know they're headed there. They also know there will be zero trade consequences. Business as usual on planet Asia and the slave trade goes on.

With guns, the danger is always there
There are inherent dangers and acceptable risks in almost everything we do every day. By inherent danger, I am referring to the potential to be injured doing a task.
Think about all you do in a day and ask yourself, "Is there any way for me to be injured (or killed) doing this?"
Think about the automobile. You can bump your head getting in the thing, not to mention all the ways to get hurt after the car is started. But after some training and experience, we take the acceptable risk and drive off.
Think about some career paths one may pursue. The military, law enforcement, firefighters and rescue workers face inherent dangers, but with extensive training, these special people accept the risks.
In Frances Coleman's outstanding column ("Don't fire if you don't plan to kill," April 22,) she mentions her husband training their son in regard to firearms.
Please be conscious of the fact that, in this day and time, more and more people are willing to not only use firearms to protect their own lives and the lives of their loved ones, but to protect homes and property against burglars, carjackings and the like.
Parents, family members, peers: If you even think someone is about to partake in an inherently dangerous activity (of any kind), that's the time to address the issue, not second-guessing after the fact.
The consequences of not fully understanding the dangers and accepting the risks can be grave.
Teachers today have few discipline options
In response to Jennifer Holmes' letter ("Mobile schools use suspensions far too much," April 13), I can appreciate her concerns about the safety of our children in the public schools.
Her desire that the children be taught proper behavior can only be accomplished if her second desire were possible — holding children accountable when they do wrong.
Those who cause the most interruptions in school are not held responsible for their actions at home. Since teachers have no authority to properly discipline, suspensions are necessary.
Children have no fear of any authority and think nothing of abusing the teachers, verbally and physically.
The attitude is: If we do not agree with the rules, just ignore them.
The writer purports that infractions of dress code violations, the illegal use of cell phones, profanity and tardiness are "petty" grounds for suspensions. I disagree.
We all must learn to obey the rules of society, or give way to mob mentality.
Protesting against the only alternative educators may use to control the classroom is not the solution. The rights of those children who obey the rules have to be protected.
My question is: What can we do to aid teachers in coping with situations over which they have little control, so some children may have the opportunity to learn?
Parent participation at home and school would be a good start.

Pictures with Santa
We took Gentry and Shaye on Saturday to have their pics taken with Santa, I am so happy they didn't cry, anyone else want to share pics? The last pic is what I'm using for our Christmas card
This was taken....almost a year ago. How depressing! She turned 1 on the 5th :(
such a good santa....!!!! i hope the one here in town is good ive not gone to look at him yet
Quoting supermom985:
I cant believe this is my son coopers 3rd christmas he will be 3 in May!! Time flys so fast!!
This is DD's first Christmas ... and the best Santa we've come across. His entire demeanor was complete Santa.
This year ... Santa was good, but I don't think he had his hearing aid turned up because he couldn't hear DD when she told him what she wanted this year. LOL!
The two years in between, DD wanted NOTHING to do with Santa. We've come a long way!
