Jennifer Lopez is being sued for unspecified damages by one of her ex-husbands, who claims he was wrongly pink-slipped as the manager of her Pasadena, Calif., restaurant.
Ojani Noa, a waiter who wed the singer-actress in 1997 after the two met while he was on the job in Miami (the union lasted about a year), filed his lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Tuesday, reports the Associated Press.
According to legal papers, Noa left his position as manager of the Conga
Room in Los Angeles in 2002 in order to run Lopez's new restaurant, Madres, at a salary of $1,000 a week – with the expectation that his paycheck would increase as the eatery became more successful.
The terms of Noa's verbal agreement with Lopez, the suit states, included a stipulation that she would not fire him "without good cause or reason."
For reasons not specified, Noa was let go six months after he started at Madres, which opened in April 2002. "Mr. Noa tried to call Ms. Lopez to find out what prompted this sudden change of events. His calls went unreturned," claim his papers, which go on to say: "She didn't even have the decency to explain why she had lied to lure him to accept a job that she did not plan on letting him keep in the first place."
A phone call from AP to Lopez's publicist was not returned.
Noa's papers quote Lopez as insisting that her ex was "family" and that she would take care of him.
After her marriage to Noa crumbled, Lopez, now 35, married backup dancer
Chris Judd in 2001 but separated from him less than a year later. This year she married singer Marc Anthony.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over daily movements, we do like to keep an eye on market changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) bounced back after a two-day slide today, as Wall Street's attention finally shifted away from the government shutdown. President Obama this afternoon nominated Federal Reserve Vice Chairwoman Janet Yellen to serve as the central bank's next chief, and assuming she gets confirmed by the Senate, she would take over in January once current Chairman Ben Bernanke's term ends. Yellen is widely seen as favoring proactive policies such as Bernanke's recent quantitative easing program. She believes the Fed should be a vehicle for fighting unemployment and said at the White House conference that she would guide the institution to promote maximum employment, stable prices, and a sound financial system. Considering the market has reacted well to Bernanke's policies, Yellen's approach should win favor from investors as well. By the end of the session, the blue chips were up 26 points, or 0.2%.
Yellen's nomination wasn't the only news out of the Fed today. Investors also absorbed the minutes of the recent Open Market Committee in September that surprised the market by maintaining the $85 billion monthly bond-buying program. The notes revealed a high degree of initial disagreement over the decision, though the group decided to adopt a wait-and-see approach based on weak employment data and the potential fiscal crisis down the pike. With that fiscal crisis now full-blown, it seems even less likely that the committee will move to taper in its meeting three weeks from now.
AT&T (NYSE: T ) jumped 1.9% after it announced that it would partner with General Electric to add wireless capabilities to GE products including electrical vehicle chargers, lighting, and engines. AT&T's machine-to-machine segment, or M2M, saw a 38% increase in customers in the past year, and the area could represent a needed growth engine for telecoms at a time when the smartphone market has reached maturity.
Meanwhile, Merck (NYSE: MRK ) was at the bottom of the pile today, falling 1% after Credit Suisse initiated coverage with a neutral rating and a middling synopsis of the drug-maker's prospects. The Swiss bank noted that Merck's "top-line growth is flat in light of challenges faced by several core franchises" but gave rival Pfizer an "outperform" rating, touting its "emerging specialty pipeline" and shareholder-friendly cash management.
Finally, Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT ) announced that it will disband its plan to open stores in India. The retailer severed ties with its joint-venture partner Bharti after it found Indian laws forcing foreign retailers to buy 30% of their goods from small and mid-sized companies based in India to be too restrictive. Wal-Mart will hold on to a group of wholesale stores, maintaining some presence in the country and perhaps indicating the company could make a renewed push into retail should the laws change. Shares finished up 0.1%.
Dividend stocks can make you rich
It's as simple as that. While they don't garner the notoriety of high-flying growth stocks, they're also less likely to crash and burn. And over the long term, the compounding effect of the quarterly payouts, as well as their growth, adds up faster than most investors imagine. With this in mind, our analysts sat down to identify the absolute best of the best when it comes to rock-solid dividend stocks, drawing up a list in this free report of nine that fit the bill.

BEREA - It appears that rookie receiver Josh Gordon is ready for Sunday's game against the New York Giants.
According to offensive coordinator Brad Childress, Gordon took a big step forward in his development during Wednesday's practice. That's important when considering that Gordon will likely play more minutes than in any of the previous four games.
"I thought he had his best practice as a professional yesterday," Childress said. "I didn't see any hesitation. I didn't see him thinking about anything. I saw him playing fast and catching the football. Just doing all the things you expect to see from a professional receiver."
The Browns are expected to be thin at receiver. Mohamed Massaquoi missed last week's game and probably won't play Sunday against the New York Giants because of a hamstring injury. Travis Benjamin hasn't practiced due to a hamstring injury. Joshua Cribbs suffered a concussion eight days ago against the Baltimore Ravens, but he's been able to practice.
"Many hands make light work," Childress said. "We'd love to have all the tools available to us. You prepare with the guys that are practicing today and tomorrow and the next day. At the end you have a plan. I know the game is going to be played with the guys that we have."
WELCOME BACK: Rookie linebacker James-Michael Johnson is practicing for the first time since suffering a rib injury in the final preseason game. Johnson could be available for special teams duty and possibly a limited role on defense.
"It's really good to get somebody back," defensive coordinator Dick Jauron said. "We were counting on him to contribute throughout the whole year. He's moving around well. If he has soreness, it's very minimal. He'll have to work his way back in. It will be a lot of special teams and then we'll see what happens defensively as we move along."
READY FOR DUTY: Second-year safety Eric Hagg wasn't active in the last two games, but that should change because of an injury to safety T.J. Ward (broken thumb). Hagg admittedly struggled against the Eagles and Bengals at the start of the season.
"The first week I didn't think I did too hot," Hagg said. "The second week I gave up some big plays. Of course, as this is my job I can't let that happen. Overall, I have to produce and play hard."
Hagg was placed ahead of Usama Young on the depth chart at the start of training camp. He started all four preseason games, but he lost his starting role after giving up a touchdown against the Bengals.
POSSIBLE ROSTER MOVES: The injuries to Massaquoi and Benjamin could mean a move to the active roster from the practice squad for rookie receiver Josh Cooper. Cooper played with quarterback Brandon Weeden at Oklahoma State last season.
"Anything is possible," Shurmur said. "I would say that he's practiced well."
INJURY REPORT: Ward was limited after missing Wednesday's practice. Missing the session were Benjamin, safety Tashaun Gipson (knee), Massaquoi and tight end Alex Smith (concussion). Safety Ray Ventrone (hand/calf) and Johnson were limited. Young (knee), Cribbs (head) and defensive end Frostee Rucker (shoulder) were full participants.

Do you love to see raw, teen boy, bareback fucking? Then, Bare Twinks is the place for you!
First a little note about Bareback fucking at Bare Twinks – Bare Twinks tests each and every model before they enter into any barebacking scenes, so you can enjoy their videos without any guilt over bare, no condom fucking.
Bare Twinks is the best teen boy, bareback studio on the internet today, offering quality, exlusive, hardcore teen boy bareback video porn to its members. The website itself hasn't been around for more than a couple years, but they have already stored up an impressive number of tantalizing, bare cock in teen boy hole videos for you to get your rocks off!
Below are just a few of their most recent additions to their online video bareback collection.
We get Kyler Moss, Nathan Stratus, and Timo Garrett on the Boycrush Bus and then move them inside our studio for some intense hardcore action. Timo fucks both Kyler and Nathan before Kyler joins him, fucking Nathan's tight ass at the same time. They finish off with three hot cumshots while getting fucked.
Alan Parish flip-flop fucks Tommie Reed and loves every minute of it. They take some time passionately kissing before Tommie shoves it in Alan's tight ass bare. He rides him for a while and then switches with Alan fucking Tommie good and hard. Tommie ends it with a big cumshot in Alan's tight, hot ass.
Roxy Red is the last one to ride the Boycrush Bus which means Andy Kay, the busdriver, gets a turn. Andy makes Roxy suck his thick cock before shoving it his tight ass in the back of the bus. Roxy moans in pleasure and he gets flipped over and fucked again, finishing with a hot cumshot on his bubble butt.
We pick up Kyler Moss on the Boycrush bus and Dylan Chambers shows him 10 inches of a good time. After a quick introduction, these boys waste zero time taking off each other's clothes and fucking like rabbits. Kyler was a little worried about Dylan's 10 inch dick but took it like a champ and loved every minute of it.
Roxy Red and Kyler Moss get some alone time first. Kyler is all tied up on the bed and Roxy takes advantage of that with some paddles and kinky toys. When Preston gets home the fucking begins and all three guys take turns on each other until they cum all over themselves. This scene is as intense as it is hot!
Timo Garrett is always passionate in his scenes and this match-up with Nathan Stratus is no exception. They swap oral until Nathan decides he's ready to get penetrated. Timo's bare cock feels so good inside that Nathan busts a load while they fuck. Timo finishes with a nice facial on a smiling Nathan.
Tommie Reed seems like an innocent boy at first but when matched up with Patrick Kennedy he's more than experienced. They kiss passionately and suck each other off. Then these two boys fuck bareback like jackrabbits in all sorts of positions and don't stop until they are both covered in sweat and cum.
Taylor Tudor came into the studio with a secret. He's still a virgin! He was sure the second he saw Jordan Ashton that he was ready to lose his virginity on camera. Jordan starts him off slow and as Taylor starts to enjoy it he flips him over and fucks him hard 'til he cums. Don't miss this hot and sexy first time!
Roxy Red wakes up tied to a table and Ryan Conners takes his love of fetish porn to the limit with shock toys, giant dildos, and of course his giant cut cock. Roxy loves every minute of this sexy bondage scene.
There's some bizarre dreaming going on at BareTwinks and Ashton Cody and Ryan Conners are feeling the effects. In a bizarre dream Ashton Cody is tied up and undressed by a scary but sexy stranger (Ryan Conners). It's "torturous" as Ashton has no choice but to lay back and have his throbbing cock sucked and rubbed. Finally the stranger unchains the twinks legs so that he can spread them open and penetrate the sweet, tight twink ass, spewing his cum all over and inside of it.
Ryan Conners can't believe how good it feels to be tortured. He's tied to a best post, being rubbed and sucked by a group of gorgeous twinks who make him teeter on the edge of orgasm the entire scene. Dean Holland, Ashton Cody, Nathan Stratus and Jordan Ashton have a fantasy of face and ass fucking a hottie who has no choice but to take their cum producing torture methods. It's a rough and wild scene with five amazing twinks and an explosive ending.
These are videos you will only see on Bare Twinks! Bare Twinks partners with BoyCrush, so when you join one of the studios, you get FREE access to the other.
At this point they are still offering a $3.95 3 day trial, which would probably give you enough time to watch a few of these videos, plus explore both Bare Twinks and BoyCrush a bit. Click here for a tour of the Bare Twinks Studio!

• Anecdotal reports of chronic contained rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysms exist. Their existence and implications have been largely ignored. From March 1984 to March 1985, 24 patients required repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm. Four patients underwent emergent repair. The remaining 20 patients were evaluated with computed tomography electively. Seven patients (35%) were demonstrated to have a rupture of the aneurysm and a retroperitoneal hematoma on the computed tomographic scan. All of the patients had histories of back or flank pain; five patients continued to complain of mild pain on admission. In no case was shock, impending shock, or a decrease in the hemoglobin level present on admission. All patients were operated on within 24 hours of evaluation. At operation, rupture was noted with organized hematoma outside the aorta contained in a pseudoaneurysmal wall of retroperitoneal connective tissue. There was no intraperitoneal blood. There was no operative mortality and survival was 100% at six months. The CT scan evaluation had identified a subgroup of patients with aneurysms associated with chronic contained rupture.

A team of researchers in the Netherlands has developed the means to store data at the atomic level. This technique would allow 502 terabytes of data to fit into one square inch. According to the authors, "[t]ranslating the two-dimensional storage density presented here to three dimensions, would ... allow the storage of the entire US Library of Congress in a cube 100 µm wide." At the moment, the memory array can operate up to a temperature of 77 K (about -210 C), meaning that the technology would be restricted to data centres capable of maintaining such temperatures.

Research underlines importance of computational power in future neurological breakthrough
Scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital have used a powerful tool to better understand the progression of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD), identifying its first physiological signs.
A team of scientists led by Dr. Michel Desjardins from the University of Montreal and Dr. Heidi McBride from the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI) at McGill University have discovered that two genes associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) are key regulators of the immune system, providing direct evidence linking Parkinson's to autoimmune disease.
Using both cellular and mouse models, the team has shown that proteins produced by the two genes, known as PINK1 and Parkin, are required to prevent cells from being detected and attacked by the immune system.

Scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (MNI) have identified novel gene mutations that cause hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), a step forward in efforts to treat this debilitating disease.
It is estimated that between two and 10 people per 100,000 in the general population have HSP, a disease characterized by weakness or spasticity in the lower limbs. HSP is caused by mutations inherited from one or both parents.

and 1945, he wrote three novels and is best known for his collections of poetry in Zulu, Inkondlo kaZulu (Zulu Songs) and Amal' eZulu (Zulu Horizons), published by Wits University Press in 1935 and 1945, respectively, as part of its Bantu Treasury Series. Vilakazi was also a member of the African National Congress, working with activists such as Nobel laureate Albert Luthuli, John L. Dube, A.W.G. Champion, and A.B. Xuma. He died in 1947, a year after completing his doctorate.
Archibald Campbell Jordan was born in Mbokotwana in the Transkei, studied at Lovedale and Fort Hare, and taught at the Bantu High School in Kroonstad for a number of years before being appointed as the first African lecturer at the University of Cape Town in 1946. His novel Ingqumbo yeMinyanya (The Wrath of the Ancestors), published by Lovedale Press in 1940, has been hailed as "the perfect Xhosa novel written in perfect Xhosa." Jordan received his doctorate from the University of Cape Town in 1956, and was active in the Non-European Unity Movement. His outspoken criticism of the 1953 Bantu Education Act and 1959 Extension of Higher Education Act resulted in the denial of his application for a passport in order to take up a research grant from the Carnegie Foundation to study methods of teaching African languages in the United States and Britain. Consequently, he went into exile in 1961 and taught at the University of Wisconsin at Madison in the United States until his death in 1968.

Floyd and his J.L. Mann Patriots have lost some tough games in recent weeks but Floyd has put up some huge numbers. His most recent performance came Friday night against Greer High School. The Patriots lost 17-13 to the Yellow Jackets but Floyd was dynamic in his effort.
A devastating tackler from his safety position, Floyd also lines up at WR for the Patriots. On Friday night he caught 8 passes for 175 yards and went for 2 touchdowns.
Schools have been swarming the 2008 prospect despite his commitment to the Volunteers. His play on the field is good reason as to why. Floyd says he's still committed to the Vols but schools such as Michigan, North Carolina State, and South Carolina have been employing the full press to him as of late.

California brought new meaning to its "green" reputation this summer when renewables electricity generation hit an all-time high. Here are the top three ingredients in the state's recipe for renewables.
1. Regulation
It's no coincidence that our country's most regulated state is also the furthest ahead in ramping up renewables. Regulation can provide the push that local governments, companies, and consumers need to question the status quo.
An aggressive renewable portfolio standard, grants, and a greenhouse gas emissions cap-and-trade program have all helped propel this state's energy portfolio beyond traditional fuels. Combine these local efforts with extended production tax credits for wind and solar, and you're left with a strong foundation for a renewables ramp-up.
2. Neglected nuclear
There are two ways to increase renewables generation as a percentage of total generation: expand renewables and/or remove other energy sources. In California's case, the latter has also played a poignant role, and is a main reason renewables hit a record 26% of total generation on May 26.
Edison International's (NYSE: EIX ) decision to retire its faulty Southern California nuclear plant left producers scrambling for alternative energies. The solutions aren't perfect, and power prices clocked in 12% higher than Northern California's for more than a year following the original announcement.
But even as the state frantically searched for a new source, higher prices paved the way for renewables to make their mark. Sempra Energy (NYSE: SE ) may be best known for its natural gas notions, but the utility stepped in last year to build 800 MW of transmission capacity to rocket solar, wind, and geothermal power through regional grids to where it's needed most.
Other urban areas are taking the hint and developing local power producers of their own. Duke Energy (NYSE: DUK ) acquired a 4.5 MW San Francisco urban solar farm in August, a major addition for the utility's 100 MW national solar portfolio. Duke already owns a 21 MW project pushing power to Los Angeles, and even has a 50% stake in a 1 MW rooftop project with Integrys (UNKNOWN: TEG.DL )
With Cali cleared for rooftop solar projects, the Golden State will increasingly be on SolarCity's (NASDAQ: SCTY ) radar as its new Paramount Solar acquisition puts it one step closer to its goal of a million rooftop installations over the next five years. SolarCity's website touts itself as "California's #1 solar installer" with over 7,200 additions to date.
3. The right place at the right time
Not every state is set up for renewables, and it should be noted that California has an "unfair" innate advantage when it comes to many alternative energies. Hydropower poured in over the spring, and a particularly windy season helped renewables generation soar. Sunny weather also makes it a perfect spot for solar farms, with NRG Energy looking to the sky for projects ranging in size from hospital rooftops to a 250 MW SunPower produced farm, the second largest in the nation.
Ramping up renewables
California's renewables may have hit record highs, but its energy issues are far from solved. Without a windy summer, nuclear plant retirements could've spelled disaster for local power capacity and prices . But with a strong regulatory backbone, a green-friendly local environment, and an increasingly connected grid, California has emphatically embraced renewables as an important part of its recipe for success.
Your best bet on energy
As California makes clear, there are many different ways to play the energy sector, and The Motley Fool's analysts have uncovered an under-the-radar company that's dominating its industry. This company is a leading provider of equipment and components used energy operations, and poised to profit in a big way from it.

Spatial Sorting: Why New York, Los Angeles and Detroit Attract the Greatest Minds as Well as the Unskilled

We propose a theory of skill mobility across cities. It predicts the well documented city size-wage premium: the wage distribution in large cities first-order stochastically dominates that in small cities. Yet, because this premium is reflected in higher house prices, this does not necessarily imply that this stochastic dominance relation also exists in the distribution of skills. Instead, we find there is second-order stochastic dominance in the skill distribution. The demand for skills is non-monotonic as our model predicts a "Sinatra" as well as an "Eminem" effect: both the very high and the very low skilled disproportionately sort into the biggest cities, while those with medium skill levels sort into small cities. The pattern of spatial sorting is explained by a technology with a varying elasticity of substitution that is decreasing in skill density. Using CPS data on wages and Census data on house prices, we find that this technology is consistent with the observed patterns of skills.

We can't leave the baby at home. What if it starts crying and we are not there?
And the baby doll pram is just not very practical. With a baby doll carrier you can eat ice cream and carry the baby at the same time. Unbeatable.
If only I had known, I would have made a baby doll carrier much sooner. Her big sister has placed an order, too.

"Graham Lambkin first heard Keith Rowe's sixties work in AMM as a teenager growing up in Folkestone, a small town in Kent, England, and for him it was very influential. That same year, Lambkin formed his now legendary band The Shadow Ring and Lambkin says, For Darren (Harris) and I, AMM was one of the groups that gave us licence to just do what we wanted, regardless of whether it fitted with convention or employed 'accepted' techniques, and did so from a very English standpoint which held great appeal. A decade of increasingly skewed and inspired work by the band culminated in 2003's I'm Some Songs, constructed long distance as Lambkin had relocated to the US in 1998. Since then, Lambkin has primarily worked under his own name, both as a solo artist and in duo with Jason Lescalleet. Rowe first became aware of Lambkin's work more recently, initially via 2007's Salmon Run, but when the two first met at the AMPLIFY 2011: stones festival in NYC, the connection was immediate. 2012 was spent in preparation and in January 2013 the duo met first in NYC for a memorable live set and then travelled to Graham's house in Poughkeepsie where Making A was recorded. The instant personal chemistry between the two fully translated to their musical relationship, both the similarities and differences seem to perfectly fit. This immediate rapport led to the quickest ever turnaround time from recording to release for an Erstwhile, just 77 days.ĘBoth musicians feel that Making A represents something very unusual and unique from their own perspective, and it is also the first release in Rowe's close to half century of recording in which he does not use a guitar or a radio. The six panel digipak features combined artwork from the two musicians, joining forces to create a visual whole that parallels the music." (label info)

Gay Schaffer has broken many glass ceilings in Plano's police department. She was teh first female sergeant, first female lieutenant, first female captain and finally this spring, she became the city's first assistant police chief.
Schaffer, who began as a dispatcher before becoming an officer, will be among the speakers at the city's "Women in Law Enforcement" career event this Saturday. The event runs 8 a.m. to noon at the Plano-Richardson Police Training Center, 4912 14th St. in Plano.
Due to limited seating, pre-registration is required. Click here for more details.
Plano police spokesman David Tilley said last year's event was so popular extra seating had to be brought in and some people were turned away. He said the event is aimed at describing the various job opportunities in various related fields including in dispatch, crime scene investigations, jail and others. Officials will also discuss the city's application and selection process for the police academy.
I tried to pull some current statistics on the number of women in law enforcement. But because of the government shutdown, the Office of Justice Programs' (which includes the Bureau of Justice Statistics) web site is unavailable.
I did find a 2010 Bureau of Justice Statistics brief (posted on a prison policy web site) that had some information. The percent of female officers in local police departments increased from 7.6 percent in 1987 to nearly 12 percent in 2007, according to the brief. The percentages of women in sheriffs' offices and state police or highway patrol were lower.

Toshiba released in France his big brother Toshiba NB550-106, a Netbook that also works in AMD platform but with an APU Brazos Ontario Dual Core Fusion C- 50. Harman Kardon audio part and a lovely self-announced more than 9 hours are also scheduled.
He took advantage of an APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Ontario Dual Core C-50 as an Atom can satisfy the basic use of office type and surf the Internet. It is associated with an amount of RAM and 1 GB hard drive with storage space of 250 GB, the classic for a netbook running Windows 7 starter.
His party HD6250M Radeon is better than that offered by Atom (Intel GMA X3150), especially in games but also video playback. However, do not expect miracles: only old titles resource-efficient 3D can spend with adaptive levels of detail and resolution of the screen. Smooth playback of some HD video is also available.
The first can charge a small device via the USB port on the left, even if the netbook is off or in standby. If you are connecting a device like MP3 player audio input Netbook (Micro), then you can enjoy the technology Sleep'n'Music: Sound from speakers Netbook for better sound quality than the average with a Harman Kardon audio portion signed, and this again even if the netbook is in sleep or off.

When you use TCPIP$CONFIG to look at the core environment (option 1),
does it show domain, interfaces etc in a way that looks reasonable ?
If this all fails, suggest you look at:
the CONFIGURATION.DAT one contains your interface definitions. (stuff
done with SET CONF). It also contains which services are to be started
by default.
You could delete this file and re-run the TCPIP$CONFIG and repopulate
the core environment.
Are you able to PING ? Traceroute ? (@SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$DEFINE_COMMANDS
to define those commands).
Does TCPIP> SHOW DEV provide any BG devices, or some error message ?
Does TCPIP> SHOW NAME provide any meaningful output ?

text: DATE=10/15/1999 TYPE=BACKGROUND REPORT TITLE=PAKISTAN / STATE OF EMERGENCY NUMBER=5-44519 BYLINE=SCOTT ANGER DATELINE=ISLAMABAD CONTENT= VOICED AT: INTRO: Pakistan Army Chief, General Pervez Musharraf has imposed virtual martial law and has declared himself chief executive of the country. V-O-A's Scott Anger reports from Islamabad. TEXT: The announcement comes three days after General Musharraf ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in a bloodless coup. Pakistan's political structure has been dissolved as the country comes under full military rule. Army spokesman Rashid Qureshi outlines the general's order. ///QURESHI ACTUALITY/// The prime minister, the federal ministers, ministers of state, advisors to the prime minister, parliamentary secretaries, the provincial governors, the provincial chief ministers, the provincial ministers, and the advisors to the chief ministers shall cease to hold office. The whole of Pakistan will come under the control of the armed forces of Pakistan. This proclamation shall come into force at once. ///END ACTUALITY/// No indication has been given as to how long the constitution will be suspended. The statement says Pakistani figurehead President Rafiq Tarar will remain in office. General Musharraf and the president have held talks but without result. Friday's order -- issued by General Musharff shortly after midnight -- did not use the words "martial law." But experts are describing the move as being close to martial law. Najam Sethi is the editor of a prominent Pakistani weekly newspaper, the "Friday Times." ///SETHI ACTUALITY/// In a sense, it's different from the straight-forward martial laws of the past. The difference lies in the fact that their (the military's) intentions of keeping the assemblies on the cards and their intention to try to work within that (work with the assemblies) is quite clear. That is why - until they (the military) get rid of the assemblies - it is what you might call a "half-hearted" martial law. ///END ACTUALITY/// Mr. Sethi says the army's move will end two days of speculation and confusion that have surrounded Pakistan after the dismissal of Prime Minister Nawaz Shairf's government Tuesday. ///SETHI ACTUALITY /// (General) Musharraf is basically saying, `We don't want to delay in making decisions." We've tried in the last day or two to see if we could work within a constitutional framework but that doesn't seem possible (so) now we are now going to give up our efforts to do that. Meanwhile, we are going to get on with business. We are going to take decisions and are not going to allow those decisions to be challenged. ///END ACTUALITY /// Tuesday's coup came after months of growing tension between General Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Their relationship began to rapidly deteriorate following Mr. Sharif's order to withdraw Pakistan-backed forces fighting Indian troops in the disputed region of Kashmir in July. Pakistan's military viewed the order as a betrayal by the prime minister. Tuesday, while General Musharraf was in Sri Lanka on official business, Prime Minister Sharif dismissed him and named the head of Pakistan's intelligence service as a replacement. Within an hour of the order -- while the general was airborne on his way back to Pakistan -- troops swiftly moved into the capital seizing government buildings and placing the prime minister under arrest. General Musharraf appeared early Wednesday morning on state-run television, wearing combat fatigues, to announce that the 32-month government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had been removed. Pakistan has been ruled by the military for nearly half of its 52-year existence. The last military dictator -- General Zia ul-Haq -- suspended the constitution and declared martial law in July 1977. General Zia ruled Pakistan for 11 years, until he died in a plane crash in August 1988. His death paved the way for democratic elections in the country. The military says Nawaz Sharif and a number of ministers are under what they call "protective custody" outside Islamabad. An army spokesman says the military has compiled evidence proving Mr. Sharif had been plotting against the military and that he leaked defense secrets. The spokesman would not elaborate on the charges. But front-page newspaper stories published Friday say an investigative body has been established to probe the accusations against Mr. Sharif. Meanwhile, life is normal on the streets of the capital. For most Pakistanis, the military takeover of the impoverished nation will have little impact. An informal poll conducted in three of Pakistan's largest cities indicates about 75 percent of the people welcomed the ouster of the increasingly unpopular prime minister. Many say Mr. Sharif's policies and actions did little to improve the lives of average citizens living in Pakistan.

Theological wisdom, British style
Integrating theology and religious studies
Apr 05, 2000 by David F. Ford
Some years ago when I encountered theologian George Lindbeck of Yale Divinity School, he asked me about the Gifford Lectures which had been written by my doctoral supervisor, Donald MacKinnon. At the time, Lindbeck was planning a course on MacKinnon. Within a year or so theologian David Tracy of Chicago gave a paper in which MacKinnon was one of the featured theologians. When asked what current theology he found most interesting, Tracy replied, "British."

Lonnie Liston Smith
Pianist Smith, 42, has skipped all over the musical map since starting out in 1961 as a keyboard accompanist for such performers as Ethel Ennis and Betty Carter. He has also done hitches with a Who's Who of jazz giants: Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Art Blakey, Joe Williams, Pharoah Sanders, Gato Barbieri and Miles Davis. He went out on his own in 1974 with a group he called the Cosmic Echoes. The eight selections here reflect the harmonious working relationship of Smith and his co-producer and session bassist, Marcus Miller. Another major contributor is Lonnie's younger brother, Donald, who plays flute and adds the warm, soulful vocals. Most of the cuts are subdued jazz/rhythm-and-blues fusions. A Lonely Way to Be is in the purest contemporary strain and Rainbows of Love is an energetic jazz instrumental. Smith credits the calm, iridescent mood of this collection to the Bengali guru Sri Chinmoy. After a number of disaffecting experiences in the music business, Smith says, he was "rejuvenated" after becoming a disciple of Chinmoy. One of the guru's simple meditative melodies, Divine Light, is given a jazz arrangement here by Smith, and A Garden of Peace is a tranquil piano instrumental composed by Smith in Chinmoy's honor.

This case of congenital hour-glass stomach with accessory pancreas, occurring in a three months' old child, is worth recording on account of the rarity of condition and the variety of opinions expressed in the literature concerning it.
There are two recognized forms of hour-glass stomach, the acquired, resulting from ulcer, cicatrix or other pathologic change taking place after birth, the other variety, congenital hour-glass stomach, being of prenatal origin.
Although the congenital anomaly has received comparatively little attention, yet from time to time descriptions have appeared and theories have been advanced to account for it. Some authorities believe that when there are no additional pathologic alterations besides the constriction, one is justified in assuming a congenital origin for the hour-glass malformation. Others maintain that an hour-glass stomach of congenital origin has never been found and that all reported cases can be accounted for by some change taking place after birth.

Getting Better Value in Health Care
Testimony Before the House Committee on the Budget
SOURCE: iStockphoto
CAPAF's Jeanne Lambrew testifies before the House Committee on the Budget. Read the full testimony.
Medicare, Medicaid, and other health program spending comprise about one-fourth of the federal budget. Their rapid projected growth accounts for the entire long-run federal fiscal deficit. It is an economic as well as a budget issue. Health spending accounts for 16 percent of our economy—more than housing or food. Its rapid growth poses challenges to businesses and individuals whose income is increasingly devoted to paying for health care. And, despite the enormous investment in health care, the quality of that care and its outcomes fall short by most standards. As the Federal Reserve Board Chair Ben Bernanke recently said, "Improving the performance of our health-care system is without a doubt one of the most important challenges that our nation faces."
In this testimony, I would like to suggest how value in the health care system can be improved and why the opportunity to do so is on the horizon. "Value" generally describes the perceived quality of care or benefit per dollar spent. Improving value is not necessarily synonymous with improving efficiency. Some aspects of care provision, such as its patient centeredness, are worthwhile to patients but not strictly efficient. Nonetheless, the United States spends an enormous amount on duplicative, low-utility, and even harmful health care, so that a high-value health system would be more efficient overall—and offer significant non-economic advantages as well.

2 former co-workers vie for DJ in western Erie County
EAST SPRINGFIELD -- District Judge Chris MacKendrick and Constable Jeff Gadley for years worked with each other as two of the key figures in the district judge's office in western Erie County.
Today they are running against each other for the district judge job.
Before he and MacKendrick campaigned as opponents in the May 21 primary, Gadley served papers and transported defendants in cases that MacKendrick presided over at the district judge's office on Route 215 in Springfield Township, near the Interstate 90 interchange.
When Gadley told MacKendrick about a year ago that he planned to run for the $86,639-a-year district judge post, the two parted ways professionally.
"I have 12 years of experience in," MacKendrick said of one of the reasons he wants to stay in office. "I enjoy what I am doing."
He said he is now using constables from McKean to handle what had been Gadley's work. District judges in Pennsylvania are allowed to choose constables, though constables are elected to serve certain areas, as was Gadley, who was elected in Girard Township.
"I told him everyone has the right to run for elected office," MacKendrick said of Gadley. "I also said every district magistrate has the right to use the constable he wishes to use.
"He said he understood that."
Gadley did not dispute that his work as a constable is at the discretion of the district judge. He has continued to work as a constable for other district judges, earning $73,090 in 2012, according to Erie County records. Constables' earnings are based on how many cases they handle and the fees paid in each case.
Gadley, 46, who previously worked as a self-employed building contractor for 22 years, said he is running for the magistrate's job because his background as a constable has made him qualified and because he wants "to bring fresh ideas" to the role.
"My knowledge and experience will slide me right into the job," Gadley said.
MacKendrick, 50, had worked as a deputy sheriff for two years when he was elected to a six-year term as district judge in 2001. He worked as a guard at the Erie County Prison for 10 years before he became a deputy sheriff.
He said he has shown, in his years as a magistrate, that he has the temperament, work ethic and legal expertise required.
He handled 3,422 cases in 2011, according to the most recent figures from Erie County Court. Of those cases, 289 were criminal, 312 were civil, 696 were for summary offenses and 2,125 were for traffic violations.
"I think I am well respected," MacKendrick said. "I think I treat everyone with respect -- defendants, law enforcement, attorneys."
Emphasis on availability
MacKendrick and Gadley are registered Republicans who cross-filed on the GOP and Democratic ballots.
District judges don't have to be lawyers but must pass state-mandated training courses, as MacKendrick and Gadley have. District judges handle all traffic cases, other minor criminal cases and civil cases involving amounts up to $12,000.
They also set bond and preside over preliminary hearings in misdemeanor and felony criminal cases to determine if the cases should be dismissed or sent to Erie County Court for further prosecution. District judges may accept guilty pleas in some cases of third-degree misdemeanors.
The magisterial district for western Erie County -- District 06-3-08 -- covers the boroughs of Albion, Cranesville, Girard, Lake City and Platea and the townships of Conneaut, Elk Creek, Girard and Springfield. It is one of 15 such districts in Erie County. A total of 13,129 residents of western Erie County are registered to vote in the race for district judge, according to county records.
MacKendrick, a married father of two adult daughters, lives in Lake City and was re-elected district judge in 2007, with no opposition and a vote total of 2,821, according to county election figures.
Gadley is a married father of two daughters, 17 and 10, and lives in Girard Township, where he is a volunteer firefighter and former chief of A.F. Dobler Hose Co. He was elected to a partial term as constable in 2007 and a full-six year term in 2009, with no opposition and a vote total of 661.
Gadley and MacKendrick agree on many issues, including a pledge to take particular care in handling the cases of juvenile offenders. If elected, Gadley said, he would keep MacKendrick's staff.
Gadley said he wants to expand a diversion program for juvenile offenders, including truants, in western Erie County.
He said he would also set defendants' bonds at levels that he believed would keep the community safe, though he acknowledged that the main reason for bond is to ensure a defendant will show up in court. Gadley said he knew of no cases in which defendants had fled while out on bonds that MacKendrick had set.
Gadley said he would be readily available to the public and the police -- officers often must have a magistrate sign arrest warrants and search warrants after hours.
"I want to be a full-time working judge," Gadley said.
MacKendrick said "he has always been available" as a district judge. And he said he has handled the cases of all defendants, including juvenile offenders, conscientiously.
"I try to be fair to all of them," MacKendrick said of juveniles. "I try to give them the first chance."
Signature dispute
The most public rift in the race for district judge has grown out of a division not between Gadley and MacKendrick, but between Gadley and John Alward, an Elk Creek Township truck driver who had been a candidate for district judge.
Gadley in March went to Erie County Court to challenge the authenticity of some signatures on the nominating petitions of Alward, a Democrat who cross-filed on the Democrat and Republican ballots.
The dispute prompted Alward to withdraw from the race and led District Attorney Jack Daneri to investigate and have a detective in his office charge Alward's wife, Marni Alward, with forgery. She waived her right to a preliminary hearing on April 19, and her case is pending in Erie County Court.
Before he dropped out of the magistrate's race, John Alward questioned how Gadley, because of family relationships, would handle cases involving the Albion and Girard police departments if he were elected magistrate.
Gadley's brother-in-law, Nick VanDamia, is the police chief in Girard, and Gadley's brother, Mark Gadley, is a patrolman for the Albion Police Department and a part-time patrolman in Girard.
Jeff Gadley said in a recent interview that "there are things in place" for dealing with such situations. He said he would disclose his links to the Albion and Girard police departments to the defendants and their lawyers in cases out of Albion and Girard.
He said he would let the defendants seek recusals, and that he "most likely wouldn't hear cases" in which his brother or brother-in-law were the arresting officers. Gadley said he would have another district judge handle them.
Gadley said he would not recuse himself from all cases involving the Girard and Albion police departments, only those that would directly involve his relatives. He said that procedure is line with protocols already in place for district judges and county judges in Erie County.
MacKendrick declined to comment.
MacKendrick and Gadley have received support from community groups.
Gadley got the backing of the Erie County Fraternal Order of Police, William Tyler Memorial Lodge 64. The lodge is for municipal police officers, not state police officers, in Erie County, other than the Erie police, which has its own union.
"Your stance on police issues and public safety are critical to the men and women who serve our lodge and our local communities," Jeremy Ricketts, the recording secretary for the Erie County F.O.P., wrote in a letter April 15.
MacKendrick has received the support of 23 lawyers in Erie County, including such veteran attorneys as David Ridge, Philip Friedman and Elliot Segel.
The 23 lawyers signed an April 23 campaign letter in which they vouch for MacKendrick's "utmost professionalism" and say he "makes himself available and accessibility to anyone," and that "his character is beyond reproach."
"His on-the-job experience and proven record," according to the letter, "give him the necessary tools to accomplish all that is expected of a magisterial district judge."

UT System Set to Bolster Disclosure Requirements
This is one in a series of occasional stories about ethics and transparency in the part-time Texas Legislature.
In an effort to prevent the perception of any conflicts of interest, the University of Texas System could soon subject its faculty and staff members to more robust public disclosure requirements than lawmakers and even university system regents.
On Jan. 15, UT System Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa issued a memo to the president of each of the system's 15 institutions that laid out new system policies and included new model disclosure forms for all faculty, staff and administrators engaged in board and business ...

Zippo withdraws lighters sold on extremist website
Zippo's German distributor is withdrawing a number of lighters bearing militaristic designs after they showed up on an extremist website that sells anti-Semitic and neo-Nazi clothing and accessories.
Zippo Manufacturing Co., the venerable Pennsylvania company that produced the offensive lighters, said it had no idea the designs carried a negative connotation and apologized for bringing them to market.
One lighter bears the image of a soldier and the word "Landser," an old German word for infantryman but also the name of a German neo-Nazi rock band whose members were convicted of hate crimes a decade ago.
Other lighters feature an iron cross -- a German military decoration first awarded in the 19th century and appropriated by Adolf Hitler -- combined with excerpts from German folk songs.
"The images on the lighters are typical of German right-wing extremists and neo-Nazis, though not so typical of their American counterparts, who are more free to directly use Nazi imagery," said Mark Pitcavage, director of investigative research for the Anti-Defamation League.
The Zippo lighters appeared on the website of Versand der Bewegung (Distributor of the Movement), an online retailer based in Murnau, just south of Munich. Other items for sale on the website include racist music, anti-Semitic literature, and a T-shirt with the legend "Nazis Out -- Out of Jail."

Piglet's Big Movie
Let there be no doubt that the entire Winnie-the-Pooh franchise is little more than a covert psychosexual universe dominated by perverse creatures each representing some form of acute sexual dysfunction.
Let's take the subject of this film first: Piglet. Referred to by the studio itself as "the little pink guy," can there be any doubt that Piglet is a thinly-veiled euphemism for that most shunned of Hollywood problems -- the small penis? Obviously, the small penis can take on many forms, not just the most literal interpretation of a man whose sexual organ is tiny and purposeless. In Hollywood, a small penis, or the reference to such, can signal a man who is incapable of making risky decisions or will never rise to a level of success worthy of respect. The whole concept that such a man is worthy of respect, or that a man with an exceedingly small sexual unit should be looked upon as anything more than a freakish, inhuman, malfunctioning creature of God, is intimately wrapped up in this film, for it is not merely called "Piglet's Movie," but "Piglet's Big Movie." Furthermore, the Pooh universe takes place in the "100 Acre Wood." Given that an acre is a unit of land mass considered rather large and "wood" a well-accepted euphemism for an erection, the creatures' attempts to explore this area represents a search for fantastic-yet-unattainable levels of sexual fulfillment. Each dreams of that mystical, large erection. Sadly, such a thing can never be achieved and the movie's stated purpose for Piglet, that he will be "useful" and "respected," never really transpires.
And what of the story's most central character: Winnie-the-Pooh? He is clearly an anal association, a symbol of the surprisingly common dysfunction of defecating during sex. The Journal of Sexual Dysfunction noted recently that among those "engaged in the film industry," an astounding 73% experienced "some form of bowel release during sexual intercourse." In the parlance of underground Hollywood, this has become known as a "Winnie the Pooh," an obvious and rather pathetic attempt to put a positive spin on a profoundly embarrassing act. In the movie's own language, this connection is emphasized when Pooh renames "Pooh Corner," "Pooh and Piglet Corner," thus linking one dysfunction with another and indicating that Piglet can only achieve "usefulness" and "respect" within the confines of his dysfunctional circle of friends. Furthermore, it's important to remember that Winnie the Pooh is a bear who walks around with no pants on. He represents, for all intents and purposes, the castrated male, as he has no sexual organs. If Piglet symbolizes the penis, then "Pooh and Piglet" corner is the reconnection of the castrated man with his disassociated member and the triumph over sexual dysfunction.
This fear of sexual dysfunction and the attempts to process its various outcomes are also revealed through the film's lone female character: Kanga. Kanga, who is a kangaroo, is a source of fear amongst the five central characters: Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit, Eyeore and Tigger. The reason? They witness Roo entering Kanga's pouch. The source of their fear is obvious: witnessing a female for the first time, the revelation of a perceived cavity where one might disappear proves to be too overwhelming, precisely because each of the characters represents some dysfunction that guarantees failure in that area. The size of the hole within the female exposes the male characters' fear that their manhood might be lost inside. Each knows that entering the cavity would be fraught with danger: Pooh (bowel movement), Piglet (small penis), Rabbit (erectile dysfunction associated with age), Eyeore (slow mental process) and Tigger (premature ejaculation) all find the prospect daunting. Ultimately, the only reason they accept Kanga as a member of the 100 Acre Wood is because she's the mother of Roo. Were Roo not present to establish the link between the pouch and parenthood, it's likely that Winnie the Pooh and friends would have raped Kanga and thrown her mangled body in a hole somewhere.
Parents may wish to reconsider whether Winnie the Pooh is suitable entertainment for their children.

Put Up WallsWhen people hurt me, I do tend to put up walls and barriers between us. I will sometimes shut them completely out, depending on the severity of the hurt they have caused. I guess it's just easier to shut them out, avoid talking to them, looking at them, or even paying them any attention. To me, it's just easier than dealing with all the conflict, which at times, even when trying to work through it, can lead to even more hurt. Some times, I think if you shut the person out, they will really understand just how much hurt they caused, and will come to realize that there may be things that we both need to work on.

What: Shares of Boyd Gaming (NYSE: BYD ) ran out of luck today, falling 19% after turning an ugly earnings report.
So what: The casino chain finished the quarter with an adjusted EPS loss of $0.08 per share against estimates of a penny profit. Sales also missed the mark, climbing 20.6% to $738.6 million, while analysts had expected $758.3 million in revenue. CEO Keith Smith admitted that Boyd's performance was below expectations, noting significant weakness in September that offset solid results in July and August. The market also reacted to disappointing guidance from the Borgata parent, which projected a loss of $0.15 to $0.20 for the current quarter. Analysts had been eyeing a shortfall of just $0.04.
Now what: Much of the growth in the casino industries these days can be found in Macau and Singapore, markets in which Boyd is not active. Smith did say that October results improved from a year ago, but the company seems to lack a long-term strategy for reversing the recent losses. The CEO noted better financials at some of the properties as well as entering real-money online gambling in New Jersey, but that doesn't seem like enough to justify the current stock price, which values the company of P/E above 40. I'd say Boyd's string of bad luck is far from over.

Or, is this her in 1930 census under Cora Maney, Mt. Vernon District 19. She's on the same page with Rosco Wells and Alva Wells and Mary Wells Smith. She's listed as age 52 and divorced. Age at first marriage is 46. Is this her? I did some looking around on Ancestry and the only Frank Jefferson Maney I could find in SC was born in 1894, almost 20 years younger. Hmm was she cradle robbing lol? Maybe that's why the marriage was never acknowledged.

Jane Comes Clean
A Sexy Sensation on Dancing with the Stars, Jane Seymour Dishes on Her Plastic Surgery (Extra-Small Breast Implants!), Raising Twins and Loving Life—and Her Looks—at 56
Yes, that slinky mambo queen really is Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman. Six weeks into Dancing with the Stars, Seymour—the oldest female contestant ever on the show—has pulled off moves and skimpy costumes most women half her age would envy. She's proud of the body she's showing off—and frank about what she did to get it: Yes, she had breast implants; no, she resisted lipo. (See box, above.) But even better, the Brit who first sizzled as a Bond girl at age 22 has built enough strength to all but eliminate the back pain she has struggled with since suffering a herniated disk seven years ago—and lived out her childhood dream of becoming a dancer. "I have so much energy," she says. "Maybe because I am happy."
The jive she performed on Oct. 29 earned the lowest score of the night from the judges, and she missed the next night's show with what cohost Tom Bergeron said was a suspected case of food poisoning. But the voters kept her in—no surprise to her husband of 14 years, producer and director James Keach. "This isn't, like, bring out the lame," says Keach, 59, dad to her 11-year-old twins Kristopher and John. "She's moving her chi-chis, baby!"
Along the way, Seymour has weathered setbacks small—bleeding blisters—and enormous: Her mother died on Oct. 1, and three weeks later, the Malibu wildfires forced her from her gated home. One morning two weeks ago, she was lying in bed when her Dancing pro partner, Tony Dovolani, called to warn her of encroaching fires. "I looked outside the door, and maybe half a mile away were black smoke and flames," she recalls. "I ran inside and said, 'We've got to get out.' I grabbed the kids—and completely ridiculous things: passports, jewelry, an antique vase, family photos, two cocktail dresses, two pairs of Manolo Blahniks and two workout outfits. I forgot underwear and pj's."
In the end, her home was unharmed (Keach stayed to keep watch), and she continued Stars without interruption, spending several days living in a hotel. But the same was not true when, minutes after finishing her mambo in week No. 2, Keach pulled her aside with heartbreaking news: Her mother, Mieke, 92, who had been sick since she suffered a stroke earlier this year, had died. Seymour skipped the next day's show and flew home to England—with her family and Dovolani at her side. In her last months, Mieke's greatest pleasure had been hearing about Seymour's Stars success (the eldest of three girls growing up outside London, Jane had studied ballet as a child, but gave it up because her knees gave out). Seymour's sisters told her, "You cannot disappoint her," Dovolani says. Exhausted and grieving, Seymour fit in rehearsal around the funeral, flew back to L.A.—and dedicated her tango to her mom. "My mother was with me," says Seymour. "She took me out there and made it happen. It was a gift she gave me."
And a reminder of what really matters to her: "Family," says Keach. His wife, he says, has taught them all "about struggle, discipline, dedication and even failure. She falls down and gets back up." Even if that has taken a little extra effort throughout the intense Dancing competition. "My body wakes up in the morning and says, 'What did you do?'" At night, she says, she "hobbles" home, "and I climb in the tub. I am singing the praises of Epsom salts. And I live in Ugg boots."
In some ways, Seymour is ready to return to a gentler routine, making the twins breakfast (she is also mom to Katie, 25, and Sean, 22, from a previous marriage), going to their Little League games, overseeing their homework, painting the watercolors she loves and dreaming of slipping into her Manolos after the blisters on her feet have healed. But she wouldn't give up a moment of Dancing with the Stars—or the body she has to show for it. "My stomach muscles are astounding," says Seymour—and those legs: "I have never, ever liked my legs—ever. And now I look in the mirror and say, 'Who do these belong to?' And then I look up and there's my face. I say, 'They are yours. Thank you.'"

Two men arrested on suspicion of ferrying drugs across the Texas Panhandle this month face federal drug charges.
Oleg Amirov, 29, of Rochester, N.Y., has been charged with distributing more than 100 kilograms, but less than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana. Jeronimo Bernal-Garcia, 20, is accused of transporting more than 500 grams of methamphetamine across the Texas Panhandle, court complaints filed Wednesday show.
A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper arrested Bernal-Garcia about 7 p.m. March 8 during a traffic stop in Carson County along Interstate 40. The trooper stopped Bernal-Garcia for speeding and for not having vehicle registration, according to an affidavit filed with the complaint.
Bernal-Garcia said he was a U.S. resident-alien, but a check with Immigration and Customs Enforcement indicated that he is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, the affidavit said.
The trooper asked Bernal-Garcia for consent to search his vehicle, which he gave. Seven bundles of methamphetamine weighing about 8.3 pounds were reportedly found inside the trunk's spare tire. The meth had an estimated value of $300,000, according to the DPS.
The same trooper stopped a 2007 Buick, driven by Amirov, a day later about 2:45 p.m. on Interstate 40 in Carson County for failure to signal a lane change and cutting in front of another vehicle.
The trooper noticed Amirov appeared extremely nervous when asked questions about the rental vehicle he was driving. According to the affidavit, Amirov and a juvenile passenger gave conflicting stories.
Amirov consented to a search of the vehicle, where 14 bundles of marijuana weighing about 304 pounds combined were found in the rear-seat area. The marijuana had an estimated value of about $145,000, the DPS said.

'Stimulus' opponents see growth as France, Germany emerge from recession
Posted on Aug 13, 2009
Startling economic numbers from France and Germany, critics of the Obama plan to stimulate the economy through massive deficit spending. Libertarians were early critics of the 'stimlus' package of government expansion as a plan, pointing out it would delay economic recovery. Libertarians, backed by most Americans, suggest tax and regulatory relief to boost job creation.
NEW YORK, Aug 13 (Reuters) - The euro rose against the dollar for the second straight session on Thursday as data showed the euro zone's two biggest economies unexpectedly returned to growth in the second quarter of the year.
News that Germany and France pulled out of recession in the April-to-June period contrasted with disappointing U.S. retail sales data for July, which cast a shadow over an anticipated consumer rebound. That weakened the dollar, which also fell 1 percent against the Japanese yen...
...(Andrew Wilkinson, senior market analyst at Interactive Brokers Group in Greenwich, Connecticut) said markets also expect the U.S. economy to recover but said the Thursday data was a reminder that "U.S. consumers are still looking at a massive debt burden that won't go away soon," suggesting a "slow and protracted" recovery...
