As the fabled Blood Moon approaches, the siblings encounter a new form of evil that might hold a secret to their past. (1:28. R for fantasy horror violence and gore, brief sexuality/nudity and language.)
"Parker": A thief (Jason Statham) with a unique code of professional ethics is double-crossed by his crew and left for dead. Assuming a new disguise and forming an unlikely alliance with a woman (Jennifer Lopez) on the inside, he looks to hijack the score of the crew's latest heist. (2:58. R for strong violence, language throughout and brief sexual content/nudity.)
"Movie 43": A series of interconnected short films follows three kids as they search the depths of the Internet to find the most banned movie in the world. (1:30. R for strong pervasive crude and sexual content including dialogue, graphic nudity, language, some violence and drug use.)

"A Haunted House": Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) and Kisha (Essence Atkins) move into their dream home, but soon learn a demon also resides there. When Kisha becomes possessed, Malcolm -- determined to keep his sex life on track -- turns to a priest, a psychic, and a team of ghost-busters for help. Immature, weak and extremely unfunny. (1:26. R for crude sexual content, language and some drug use.) *
"Broken City": In a city rife with injustice, ex-cop Billy Taggart (Mark Wahlberg) seeks redemption and revenge after being double-crossed and then framed by its most powerful figure: Mayor Nicholas Hostetler (Russell Crowe). The story is lacking, but the performances are enough to pull the audience through. (1:49. R for pervasive language, some sexual content and violence.) **1/2
"DJANGO UNCHAINED": With the help of his mentor (Christoph Waltz), a slave-turned-bounty hunter (Jamie Foxx) sets out to rescue his wife (Kerry Washington) from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner (Leonardo DiCaprio). The scenes run too long and fizzle out the tension in the scenes. Not director Quentin Tarantino's best work. (2:46. R for strong graphic violence throughout, a vicious fight, language and some nudity.) **
"Gangster Squad": A chronicle of the LAPD's fight to keep East Coast Mafia types out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and '50s. A solid film that's both interesting and entertaining. (1:53. R for strong violence and language.) ***
"The Hobbit: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY": A curious Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), journeys to the Lonely Mountain with a vigorous group of Dwarves to reclaim a treasure stolen from them by the dragon Smaug. Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings" prelude is some eye candy that truly dazzles and some that distracts. It's also overstuffed with prologues, flashbacks and long, boring councils among dwarves, wizards and elves. (2:49. PG-13 for extended sequences of intense fantasy action violence and frightening images.) **1/2
"The Impossible": An account of a family caught, with tens of thousands of strangers, in the mayhem of one of the worst natural catastrophes of our time. Incredibly moving and full of unforgettable performances. Probably one of the best movies of the year. (1:54. PG-13 for intense realistic disaster sequences, including disturbing injury images and brief nudity.) ****
"JACK REACHER": A homicide investigator (Tom Cruise) digs deeper into a case involving a trained military sniper who shot five random victims. The script isn't all there, but devoted Cruise fans will still enjoy it. (2:11. PG-13 for violence, language and some drug material). **1/2
"The Last Stand": The leader of a drug cartel busts out of a courthouse and speeds to the Mexican border, where the only thing in his path is a sheriff (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and his inexperienced staff. Not the best movie in the world, but it's still an entertaining action flick. (1:47. R for strong bloody violence throughout and language.) ***
"LES MISERABLES": In 19th-century France, Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), who for decades has been hunted by the ruthless policeman Javert (Russell Crowe) after he breaks parole, agrees to care for factory worker Fantine's daughter, Cosette. The fateful decision changes their lives forever. Beautiful scenery and the same great songs from the popular musical, but this "Les Mis" doesn't quite live up to the hype. (2:38. PG-13 for suggestive and sexual material, violence and thematic elements.) **1/2
"Lincoln": As the Civil War continues to rage, America's president (Daniel Day-Lewis) struggles with continuing carnage on the battlefield and as he fights with many inside his own cabinet on the decision to emancipate the slaves. This beautiful film shows an unusually subdued side of Steven Spielberg and pulls great performances out of Day-Lewis and Sally Field. (2:29. PG-13 for an intense scene of war violence, some images of carnage and brief strong language.) ****
"Mama": Annabel (Jessica Chastain) and Lucas (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) are faced with the challenge of raising his young nieces that were left alone in the forest for five years ... but how alone were they? Surprisingly moving and chilling. (1:40. PG-13 for violence and terror, some disturbing images and thematic elements.) ***
"MONSTERS, INC.": Monsters generate their city's power by scaring children, but they are terribly afraid themselves of being contaminated by children, so when one enters Monstropolis, top scarcer Sulley finds his world disrupted. 3-D version of 2011 Disney-Pixar hit. If you liked the original, you're going to love its return to the big screen and the added 3-D effects. (1:36. G for general audiences). ****
"PARENTAL GUIDANCE": Artie (Billy Crystal) and Diane (Bette Midler) agree to look after their three grandkids when their type-A helicopter parents need to leave town for work. Unfortunately, Midler and Crystal can't elevate this movie beyond toilet humor. (1:37. PG for some rude humor.) **
"SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK": After a stint in a mental institution, former teacher Pat Solitano (Bradley Cooper) moves back in with his parents and tries to reconcile with his ex-wife. Things get more challenging when Pat meets Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence), a mysterious girl with problems of her own. Dramatic and incredibly funny and witty. One of the best movies of 2012. (2:02. R for language and some sexual content, nudity.) ****
"Texas Chainsaw 3-D": A young woman travels to Texas to collect an inheritance; little does she know that an encounter with a chainsaw-wielding killer is part of the reward. Gory, but not worth the price of admission. (1:32. R for strong grisly violence and language throughout.) *
"THIS IS 40": A look at the lives of Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) a few years after the events of Knocked Up. At moments, the film is honest and hilarious, but also depressing and annoying. (2:14. R for sexual content, crude humor, pervasive language and some drug material.) ***
"WReck-It Ralph": A video game villain (John C. Reilly) wants to be a hero. Cute, nostalgic and heartwarming. (1:48. PG for some rude humor and mild action/violence.) ***1/2
"Zero Dark Thirty": A chronicle of the decade-long hunt for al-Qaida terrorist leader Osama bin Laden after the September 2001 attacks, and his death at the hands of the Navy SEAL Team 6 in May, 2011. It's not just an incredible movie -- it's an incredible experience. (2:37. R for strong violence, including brutal disturbing images, and for language.) ***1/2

(changes slug and dateline, releads, updates and rewrites throughout)
The Mexican Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered the immediate release of Florence Cassez, a Frenchwoman convicted of kidnapping and other crimes in Mexico and sentenced to serve 60 years in prison.
The decision was approved by a majority of the members of the First Chamber of the high court, which changed an initial opinion that called for the case to be sent back to a lower court due to irregularities in the prosecution and trial.
Four of the panel's five members rejected the initial opinion and its author, Justice Olga Sanchez Cordero, then unexpectedly changed her position.
The panel modified the opinion, calling for Cassez's immediate release in light of the irregularities in the judicial process and did not send the case back to the lower court.
The high court voted 3-2 to release Cassez without any conditions.
"As a result, we are instructing the secretary ... to notify via the fastest and most efficient means that Florence Cassez should be immediately and absolutely released," Chief Justice Jorge Mario Pardo Rebolledo said.
Earlier Wednesday, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told France Info radio that the government was confident that the Mexican Supreme Court would throw out Cassez's prison sentence.
Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto visited France during a tour of Europe that he completed before taking office last year.
Peña Nieto told French President François Hollande during his visit to Paris last October that he wanted to remove the Cassez case as an issue in bilateral relations and leave it in the hands of the courts, Fabius said.
Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy pressured Mexico to transfer Cassez to a French prison to serve out her term, invoking the Strasbourg Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons, which Mexico signed in 2007.
The administration of former Mexican President Felipe Calderon, however, insisted that the Frenchwoman - who received a 98-year prison sentence in 2008 that was subsequently reduced to 60 years - could not be repatriated due to the possibility that she might obtain a drastic reduction or suspension of her sentence in France.
Some of Sarkozy's statements about the Cassez case caused diplomatic tensions with Mexico, especially his call in February 2011 to dedicate the "Year of Mexico," a series of more than 350 art, cultural and business events scheduled to be held in France, to the jailed Frenchwoman.
Cassez's attorney, Agustin Acosta, said Tuesday that the Mexican federal law enforcement agency that arrested the Frenchwoman acted "in bad faith."
"This matter is marked, is sealed by the issue of the staging (of her arrest)," the attorney said.
Florence Cassez was arrested on Dec. 8, 2005, on the Mexico City-Cuernavaca highway along with her boyfriend, Israel Vallarta, the suspected leader of the Los Zodiaco kidnapping gang.
A day later, agents from the now-defunct AFI, Mexico's equivalent of the FBI, staged a mock raid so TV cameras could film the arrest of the gang members in a wooded area near Mexico City.
The re-enactment of the raid is among the irregularities in the case, making it seem as if Cassez was being arrested at that time, the Cassez family and attorneys have argued.
The Frenchwoman has proclaimed her innocence from the beginning, denying that she participated in kidnappings. EFE

LaDanian has a risk level of GREEN in the Almanac. While both MJD and Forte has a risk level of RED. Is LT low risk because of the Chargers focus on the passing game once again this year? MJD is high risk because of his first time carrying a full load? Forte, because is his drop in ypc at the end of the year and Orton stepping in?
2 replies , Last at 03 Aug 2009, 2:29pm by JasonK
LT is low risk because he has been incredibly durable during his career, even though he had some injuries the past 2 years.
Forte because he has seen too many touches, and is unlikely to go through another season like that without an injury.
MJD : You said it.
Just my 2 cents.
Additional factors:
- KUBIAK is far more confident in the overall excellence of the SD offense than it is in either Chicago's or Jacksonville's.
- Jones-Drew's and Forte's projections are higher than Tomlinson's. It's easier to be confident that a projection will be met when that projection is lower.

Hi, my car was only in for suspension work at a Coachworks, once I picked it up,I barely got 5miles and blue smoke bellowed out back and revs were up in the red!!! (Scary for my two young kids)
I called back the Coachworks and they said it wasn't there problem, I eventually got them to pick it back up and they mentioned that they had put oil in it as the oil light was on, my car is a Suzuki and it says in handbook that the oil light comes on when its due a service, I know for a fact that oil was fine as I check it regularly. He said that it must have been a problem with my car. The blue smoke,high revs and oil coming out my exhaust, surely that means they put to much in???. The are having non of it and I've called in an independent engineer to check it out, my fear is that
A.it won't show any damage
B.they will have done something to it over weekend to clear there ****.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Harkins seeks 4th term in House
Patrick J. Harkins, who is seeking a fourth term in the state House of Representatives, would like to see more of his own party members with him.
The incumbent Democrat, who represents the 1st District, said he wants to fight for Erie on issues such as the county's recent reclassification from urban to rural for state funding purposes.
"We're the forgotten corner," Harkins said.
He was unopposed in the Democratic primary and doesn't face a Republican opponent in the district that includes parts of Erie's east side and Lawrence Park Township.
Harkins said he's gaining in seniority and would like seats on more committees. He's currently assigned to Education, Labor & Industry, and Children & Youth.
Issues he remains concerned about include education, health care and job creation.
"Taxes would be a big one I hope we address in the next session," he said. Harkins said the state should have looked at campaign finance reform rather than requiring voter identification.
A former UPS Inc. driver and Teamsters union member, Harkins said he hopes the Democrats pick up seats in Tuesday's election so they have more of a voice in state budget discussions.
He said he'd like to see his party "at least have a hand in the game."
Harkins expressed concern that the administration of Republican Gov. Tom Corbett and the GOP-controlled Legislature, while pledging not to raise taxes, would cut more programs for education and health care.
Harkins said, however, that in his first three two-year terms he tried to work with all members of the House, and that's something he doesn't want to stop.
"I always try to work with all my colleagues, Democrat and Republican, and I will continue to do that," he said.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Fresh from battles in their own neighborhoods against unwanted waste disposal facilities, community activists from Texas and elsewhere rallied this week on Capitol Hill to press their environmental justice agenda.
They received a sympathetic listening from a coalition of congressional Democrats who convened what was billed as the first-ever congressional conference on environmental racism.
The alliance of grassroots activists and 14 liberal congressional Democrats contends that the handlers of industrial waste target poor, predominately minority communities for their treatment plants.
The result? Higher exposure to environmental risks and health problems, they say. They are calling on Congress to enact protections to ensure that minorities aren't discriminated against on environmental grounds.
"For too long, poor communities of color have been literally dumped on," said Rep. Nydia Velazquez, D-N.Y. "This is a battle for the right to breathe equally clean air and drink equally clean water. It is about our children being equally healthy, our families being equally protected and our communities being equally clean."
A trio of Texans traveled to Washington to tell of their years-long campaign - ultimately successful - to shut down an East Texas plant that injected hazardous wastes deep into the ground.
"It's been a long struggle," said Rev. Sylvester Curry Jr., pastor of New Zion Baptist Church in Winona, a dozen miles northeast of Tyler.
Residents in the town, which has a population of less than 500, contend they were exposed to harmful levels of dangerous chemicals that caused a medley of illnesses - including a higher incidence of birth defects, respiratory ailments and cancers in children and adults.
"This plant caused a lot of harm to our community, to our children," said Curry, who said he believes environmental racism played a role in the decision to build the plant in Winona in 1981. The community's population is one-third black, significantly higher than the state average.
In 1997, American Ecology Environmental Services Corp. closed the Winona plant it had acquired three years earlier, citing the financial drain of litigation and opposition drummed up by the grassroots group Mothers Organized to Stop Environmental Sins.
"There were several reasons, not the least of which was the difficulty in doing business in an environment where you had very a well-financed, very high profile small group of opposition," Scott Peyron, an American Ecology Corp. spokesman, said Friday.
American Ecology, which runs four hazardous waste disposal centers nationwide, declined to wade into the debate over environmental justice.
The Winona activists and American Ecology have engaged in dueling litigation, some of which remain in the courts.
Phyllis Glazer, the head of MOSES, said she has one request from Congress: "To not put these dangerous facilities . . . in poor communities, driving them further into poverty."
Glazer, who bankrolled much of the campaign against the Winona plant, said there are "hundreds, if not thousands, of communities just like Winona."

Comments about Lehle Dual SGoS Amp Switcher Guitar Pedal:
I first bought a Lehle Dual around 8 years ago when I bought a Bad Cat Hot Cat 30 that requires an AB box to access both channels. I tried the cheaper ones and they were horrible tone sucking parasites. I found this pedal and it was everything I was looking for. I don't recall the price, but it was significantly less than the current price. It's a great ABY pedal, but I have to imagine there are just as good, less expensive options.
Comments about Lehle Dual SGoS Amp Switcher Guitar Pedal:
I bought this a couple of years ago. I originally had a Morley ABY switch but the Morley always bled to the other amp. I put this in my signal chanin and there is absolutly no bleeding to the other amp. These things are built like a tank and switching with them is very simple. The LED lights are easy to see. Don't know what else you could ask for with an ABY switch.

Disgraceful curtains
Recently we rearranged the house to make better use of space. My office/sewing area moved into what was the very small spare bedroom. It's been great having dedicated space to sew in. But I don't think I can put off doing something about the curtains much longer.
That isn't an optical illusion. It is an enormous tear in the curtains held together by a few pins. I can't remember how it came to be there, which should give you some idea of how old it is. The curtains themselves are ancient; I think they came with the house. The tear is probably of more recent date.
The trouble is that I find curtains deeply unexciting. I can browse fabric for hours, even furnishing fabric, but the thought of actually sewing curtains is completely unappealing. All those long straight seams. All that hemming. I'm going to have to find some seriously special fabric if the curtains are ever going to get replaced.

I made curtains once. Only once. Never. ever. again. As I sewed all those long, straight, mind-numbing seams, I could feel my sewing mojo writhing on the floor in agony. It's amazing I survived. LOL That said, the curtains weren't for me. If they were, perhaps it would have been more bearable knowing that I'd have the satisfaction of pretty curtains to appreciate once the agony was over. Good luck!
I recommend making giant machine-hemmed rectangles and buying curtain ring clips from Ikea (search for Riktig). I refuse to sew anything more complicated to cover my windows.
I'm with Clio on this one. I once spent the time and money on a lovely pull-up curtain for DD1's bedroom. Need I say that I have never done any curtain sewing since? I've got two lengths of curtain fabric that I've wrapped around the rod that still require hemming some 5 years later. Some things were meant to be either bought or farmed out…..
I am TOTALLY with you. Our saloon curtains desperately needed replacing, but there are 6 massive windows and there's no way I wanted to sew them. Separating the "I could do them" from "I want to do them" is crucial. We're working women, and we have enough money to spend on curtains if we wish. Just go out an buy some if the thought of sewing them makes you want to break into hives.
You probably can't get around doing the inevitable hemming of said storebought curtains, though. But at least that's only one line of stitching instead of 4+.
Buy enough cheap fabric to throw over the rod and there you have it! lining and curtain all in one. Glue the hem up, with hemming tape.
I totally agree about making curtains, that's why I love IKEA and a tension rod!
I think this is a good time to visit IKEA! It's just not worth the hassle to make your own unless you enjoy doing it or want something very fancy!

Sacks sets 'inclusive' new school entry tests
US says bar should be low as possible
Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks this week issued admission guidelines to Jewish schools in the wake of the JFS court ruling.
New entry rules, based on Jewish practice, should be "as inclusive as possible", he said, following the Court of Appeal's recent ruling that it was unlawful to pick pupils according to whether or not their parents were Jewish.
But the advice could prove academic, because the House of Lords — in one of its final legal decisions before the new Supreme Court takes over — agreed last Friday to hear an appeal from JFS against the Appeal Court ruling.
Russell Kett, chairman of the JFS governors, said: "We have requested that this case be heard as swiftly as possible and hope their Lordships will be able to accomplish both this, and our objective to overturn the earlier judgment, before the end of October."
But he declined to say whether the school has decided to offer a place in September to "M", the boy whose rejection two years ago sparked the legal action.
The school was ordered by the Appeal Court last month to reconsider his application, and the Law Lords last week refused to allow a postponement of the decision.
Mr Kett said: "The school is not at liberty to discuss an individual. It is a matter between ourselves and the family."
"M" was originally rejected by the school because the Office of the Chief Rabbi considered him not Jewish, as his mother was converted under non-Orthodox auspices.
But the Court of Appeal held that to base entry on parental descent was a matter of ethnicity, not religion, and thus in contravention of the Race Relations Act.
Since schools may still select pupils on religious grounds, Jewish schools have had to draw up new admissions criteria based on practice, rather than parental status, in time for the 2010 intake.
Sir Jonathan says that entry policies should be "inclusive rather than exclusive". They should, he says, "reflect the rabbinic principle that the world stands on three things: Torah (Jewish study and knowledge), avodah (the life of religious observance and prayer) and gemillut chassadim (acts of kindness and social responsibility)".
He says: "Evidence of practice in any one of these areas should normally be considered as positive evidence of religious commitment. Otherwise, schools risk denying the opportunity for an Orthodox Jewish religious education to many children who would greatly benefit from it."
Schools will be free to devise their own entry policies but they will not be able to ask whether a child is halachically Jewish.
The new practice criteria, as suggested by the Chief Rabbi, would make no distinction between Orthodox and Progressive families; nor would schools be able to turn down the children of non-Orthodox converts if they met the entry standards.
But admitting children to school under the new rules would not mean recognition of their Jewish status, the Chief Rabbi stressed.

I received some great products from Therabreath awhile back and I'm so excited to share them with you!
I received their Oral rinse, Mouth Wetting, Fresh Breath Lozenges, and their Toothpaste.
If you aren't familiar with Therabreath here is a little about them from their website:
TheraBreath is a revolutionary premium oral care system created by Doctor Harold Katz at the California Breath Clinics. The exclusive, original formula went on the market in 1994 and has been used by over 1,000,000 people world wide to solve the problems of bad breath and unpleasant mouth taste. In that time, our original formula has gone through dozens of refinements, making it the most complete and effective solution to the embarrassing personal problem of halitosis.
Continuing his pioneering research, Dr Katz expanded on our original TheraBreath Toothpaste and Oral Rinse products to address other problem areas in personal care. We now manufacture very popular products for teeth whitening, the clearing of tonsil stones, premium periodontal therapy products, specialty chewing gums, and even bad breath treatment systems for pets!
This site is dedicated to explaining what causes bad breath, halitosis, dry mouth, taste disorders (sour, bitter, metallic) and how to get rid of these problems using the clinically proven TheraBreath system, based the research of Doctor Katz.
If you've been frustrated with commercial products that falsely claim they can attack the germs that cause bad breath, or if you scraped your tongue and still have bad breath, you've come to the right place!
I'm going to review each of them separately:
Fresh Breath oral rinse: I really like this! It had a nice minty taste and smell and worked really good on bad breath. I used it when I had to leave the house real quick and wasn't able to brush at that time and I didn't have bad breath! And it lasts a long time! I used it a lot in the morning to avoid morning breath because no one likes morning breath! :) You do have to make sure that it gets as far back as possible and gargle without gagging or swallowing. Which sounds difficult, but wasn't. I really liked that this toothpaste doesn't contain Alcohol! I'm a big fan of this Oral Rinse and still use it now!
Fresh Breath Lozenges: Another great product from Therabreath! Not only do these help with bad breath and freshen your breath when you need that extra freshness after eating something smelly, but they also help with dry mouth! Sometimes when I take certain medications, my mouth gets pretty dry or even on hot days I get dry mouth, I just pop one of these in and they work wonders!! They taste really good as well!!
Fresh Breath Toothpaste: Great toothpaste! I was hesitant to try this tooth paste, because I can't stand a lot of the toothpastes that are out there, because they taste yucky. But this one was not! It was pretty good. Fresh mint taste. This toothpaste kept my teeth feeling clean and fresh all day until my next brushing. This also does not contain alcohol so it made me love it even more!
I recommend these products to anyone! They are pretty fabulous!!
Don't believe me? Well now you have the chance to win the oral rinse and the toothpaste!
There will be two winners picked! One for the Oral Rinse and one for the Toothpaste!
Just follow the Rafflecopter form!! Super simple!

Mercyhurst opens NCAA Division II men's soccer tournament
Division II first round
Mercyhurst vs. Notre Dame College (Ohio)
Today, 1 p.m., Notre Dame College
- Records: Mercyhurst 15-5-0; Notre Dame 15-3-0
- How they got there: Mercyhurst earned the third spot in the Atlantic region despite the fact that Lakers fell 3-2 in double overtime to Slippery Rock in the PSAC title game. Notre Dame also earned an at-large bid as the Falcons fell 1-0 to the University of Charleston in the Mountain East Conference tournament but still managed to claim a No. 2 seed in the Atlantic region.
- Outlook: This marks the second meeting between the Lakers and the Falcons this season as Notre Dame traveled to Erie for the first game of the season for both teams and beat Mercyhurst 1-0. Goalkeeper Jan Skorupinski recorded the shutout, his first of eight on the season. ...Offensively, Adam Mitchell, who has scored 14 goals and recorded 29 points, leads Notre Dame. ... The Lakers counter with a potent scoring combo of Fernando Martinez and Danny Deakin. Martinez has 13 goals and 14 assists for 40 points. Deakin has 13 goals and five assists.
- What's at stake: The winner will advance to face the winner of the other Atlantic region matchup, which will pit No. 1 Slippery Rock against No. 4 Millersville.

The Houston Police Officers' Association has announced its list of endorsed candidates in November's city elections, endorsing every incumbent except District F Councilman Al Hoang and At-Large Position 5 Councilwoman Jolanda Jones.
The union representing approximately 5,000 officers endorsed Laurie Robinson for the At-Large 5 seat. On Wednesday, the city's firefighters union also endorsed Robinson, who is among three candidates running against Jones as she seeks a third and final two-year term on the council. Jack Christie and Bob Ryan are also running.
At a town hall meeting early this year Jones, a criminal defense attorney, distributed a postcard-sized flier with her photo and her summary of 5th Amendment rights against self-incrimination. It includes the advice: "NEVER speak with the police."
Police union Vice President Ray Hunt seized on the card's inclusion of both her business phone number and her Council office phone number to ask for a city investigation. The Office of Inspector General found that Jones had used city resources to support her private law practice and lied to investigators about it. The case has been referrred to the District Attorney.
The police union sat out the District F race, in which Hoang is running for a second term against Nguyen Thai Hoc and Peter "Lyn" Rene.
The HPOU"s release: (Clarification: The HPOU inadvertently endorsed Oliver Pennington for both D and G. The union endorses incumbent Councilwoman Wanda Adams for District D)

Let's take a look at how poorly OSU has handled their Public Relations in this matter:
12/23/2010: AD Gene Smith: "There are no other NCAA violations around this case," Smith declared. "We're very fortunate we do not have a systemic problem in our program. This is isolated to these young men, isolated to this particular incident. There are no other violations that exist."
Really? Why would you say "we do not have a systemic problem in our program" if you don't? He knew they had one.
3/8/2011: Tressel Press Conference after Yahoo report that he knew the players sold their gear.
- Jim never apologizes and just says he made a minor mistake not letting OSU know about the email.
- The school suspends Tressel two games against two weak MAC teams
- President Gordon Gee drops this line (regarding JT's job status) "No, are you kidding me? I'm just hopeful that the coach doesn't dismiss me"
4/20/2011: AD Gene Smith calls the Tressel situation a nightmare in a interview
5/18/2011: During the Big Ten Spring Meetings: AD Gene Smith gives his support to his head coach Jim Tressel
5/30/2011: OSU decided to
The reason for the timing was not for the respect for the Military or anything else you have read or heard. It was because the SI article was due out the next day and OSU wanted to get in front of the article. OSU was alerted about the article and potential violations on Friday. Jim was on vacation and returned on Saturday. Sunday they discussed the situation and Monday they made it public.
5/31/2001: NCAA and OSU are investigating Pryor and his 8 cars in 3 years.
Stay tuned I'm sure it will get worse.

A settlement conference is scheduled for May 10 to determined if a plea bargain can be reached. If not, Tibbetts, 42, will go on trial before Judge Pamela Lightvoet in Kalamazoo County Circuit Court.
Tibbetts resigned in November from his Vicksburg position after he was arraigned on 13 felony counts related to an alleged relationship with a 16-year-old boy.
During an investigation by the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office, the boy told officials Tibbetts supplied him with alcohol and expensive gifts as part of a two-year relationship that turned sexual in nature.
The investigation allegedly uncovered sexually explicit text messages
exchanged between Tibbetts and the 16-year-old, as well as child
pornography on Tibbetts' school-own iPad.
Tibbetts is facing one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, five counts of using a computer with child sexually abusive material, five counts of possessing child sexually abusive material, one count of using a computer to solicit another to commit distribution of child sexually abusive material, and a count of exhibiting sexually abusive material to a minor.
He has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his attorney, Michael Hills, has said that Tibbetts is "contesting each and every count" of the criminal charges.

The Indiana men's soccer team dropped a 3-0 decision Sunday afternoon to the Under-20 Mexican National Team at IUPUI.
Here is the story on the match provided by IU media relations.
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana University men's soccer team wrapped its 2014 spring slate with a 3-0 loss to the U-20 Mexican National Team on Sunday at Carroll Stadium in Indianapolis.
Indiana got off to a solid start in the first half, holing a 5-4 advantage in shot attempts, including a hit from Femi Hollinger-Janzen off a thru ball from Tanner Thompson that went off the right post in the 10th minute. In the 13th minute, Mexico countered with shot from Diego Iván Pineda on a tight angle that was cleared by goalkeeper Colin Webb. The ensuing corner kick was also cleared out.
It was a scoreless draw as the teams went into the locker room at halftime, with Mexico holding more of the possession and Indiana having the more dangerous opportunities.
Indiana had a chance in the opening minute of the second half when Jamie Vollmer broke free and Mexico goalkeeper Edson Resendez came out of the net to try and snag the ball. It went over him but was cleared off the line. Three minutes later El Tri took a 1-0 lead on a penalty kick from Pineda. The Hoosiers were called for the foul just inside the top of the box and Webb got a hand on the attempt but could not clear it out.
Indiana had a chance to tie the match with 15 minutes to play as sub Michael Riedford dribbled the ball down to the left post, but his shot on the tight angle was blocked by Resendez for a corner kick.
Mexico continued to make Indiana chase and was able to wear down the IU side with fresh legs later in the match. It became a 2-0 lead in the 79th minute as Mauro Leyva laid a ball off to Guillermo Ayala, who pulled Webb off his line and shot it home to double the lead.
El Tri added a third goal in the 83rd minute as this time Leyva hooked up with Ivan Ochoa for the score.
Webb finished with eight saves for Indiana, while Hollinger-Janzen and Thompson had two shots each. Indiana had three corner kicks, all coming in the second half.

Some considerations:
1. Read (or paste in the list, whatever) the most recent
/var/ha/log/grpsvcs file contents and most recent /var/ha/log/topsvcs
file content. There you can found more details about group/topology
2. Are you using heartbeat via disk heartbeat? These two services
(topsvcs and grpsvcs) are most used in disk heartbeat based
environments (I suppose :P);
3. In the cluster documentation, that problem has some probable cause:
3.1. an unsucessful DARE operation;
3.2. HACMP configuration isn't correctly updated on all cluster nodes;
3.3. One node was down during a topology DARE operation;
You can try these tips:
i) Check the topology services daemon (Open one tech. call on IBM);
ii) Check the group services daemon (Open one tech. call on IBM);
Remember: That can be one group services problem (not a topology
services problem).

I don't enter a trade at a single specific level – with a single idea in mind that I've got it exactly right – I construct the trade over time.
The larger time frames and current fundamentals "frame the trade" – while the "finishing work" plays out day to day on the smaller time frames. Weeks can go by while building / working on one trade, as other projects are started – and others reach completion. It's a constant process and can often grow to include up to 12 – 15 currency pairs at any given time.
Confidence in the "blueprint" is essential as the day to day work can get extremely complicated – much as you can imagine a modern day construction site with all it's facets. With no "master plan" it's highly unlikely you'll see much work getting done.
The short USD trades , as well as the long JPY's have been paying off – and should continue to pay off, but I'd be lieing if I said it's been a cakewalk.
USD has much further to fall, and JPY is still ranging / grinding along the bottom. I see larger moves ahead.

Open small position long yen. If not now, then, when?
I'm going to add a bit to yen positions today. Looks like some of the yen crosses are producing ending diagonals. Good times ahead

Immigration Voice is a rapidly growing, national grassroots nonprofit 501 (c)(4) organization of over 70,000 legal, highly skilled immigrants.
Immigration Voice members are committed to sensible improvements to the employment-based immigration and green card process by supporting HR 3012-Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act.
The current immigration system is broken, causing hardship for high-skilled immigrants and their families -- myself and my family being one of them. There are up to a million such applicants who are doomed to wait for up to 30 years to receive their green cards. This issue has been causing massive brain drain to other competing economies, which ultimately hurts U.S. innovation, in addition to preventing creation of new jobs and hindering the economic recovery.
To address this issue, which impacts American competitiveness and innovation, I would like to request you to please give adequate coverage to HR 3012. This bill has bipartisan support in Congress, which is a significant accomplishment considering the current political climate, and will drastically reduce wait times for applicants from 30 years to less than 10 years.
I applaud both Democratic and Republican leadership in Congress for their commitment to high-skilled immigration reform and for their support for HR 3012. This is a great first step in the right direction.

Fantastic SUV
by Gypsywomen from Tucson, AZ | October 19, 2012
Not sure where to begin. I'm getting more MPG in town than advertised and haven't taken it on the road yet. Transmission is smooth as well as changing from electric to gas. The interior is comfortable and carries 5 easy (I took out 3 row seats). Rides so smoothly down the highway, you forget your in such a large vehicle. When put into 4WD, it just digs in, and again , smoothly. There is nothing about this vehicle I dislike. Radio, phone, & cruise are easily reached on the steering wheel. Tow anything, put it in Manual and 3 more gears.

* BLACK BOX. 10 tonight, 6ABC.
* BAD TEACHER. 9:30 tonight, CBS3.
WHO'S funnier: a brilliant, bipolar doctor who's occasionally off her meds or a hard-drinking, pot-smoking middle-school teacher with no qualifications whatsoever?
CBS hopes you'll pick "Bad Teacher," its new sitcom starring Ari Graynor as gold-digging divorcee Meredith Davis, who in tonight's premiere flirts her way into a job teaching social studies.
But ABC might unintentionally have hit the funny jackpot with "Black Box," its new medical drama starring Kelly Reilly ("Heaven Is for Real") as a neurologist named Catherine Black, whose dark, dark secret is that she has a relatively common mental illness that doesn't seem to interfere with her work but leaves her personal life a bit of a mess.

UPDATE: Portage man killed on I-94 identified
PORTAGE, MI — A 30-year-old Portage man was killed Sunday night when he attempted to run away from police, on foot, across westbound I-94, authorities said.
It began when Portage Public Safety officers attempted to stop a truck on eastbound I-94 near Portage Road for a traffic violation, Sgt. Craig Begeman said. The driver at first complied by pulling over, but after man stopped briefly," he said, he " then fled in the truck, stopped and exited the truck."
The man ran to the concrete median barrier wall separating eastbound and westbound lanes, and scrambled over, attempting to run across lanes of westbound traffic, Begeman said.
He was struck and killed by a westbound passenger car.
Neither the passenger in the man's truck, nor the driver of the car that struck the man, was injured in the incident, Begemen said.
The dead man's identity has not yet been released. Other details about the original traffic violation were not immediately available.
âThe crash is being investigated by the Michigan State Police Paw Paw Post.
The westbound lanes of I-94 were closed for approximately 3 hours and traffic was rerouted with the assistance of the Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety.
Police ask anyone with information about the crash to call the Portage Department of Public Safety at 329-4567 or Silent Observer at 343-2100.

To the Editor:
Concerning the July 19 article, "Programs make teachers the pupils," which featured a summer teacher-training seminar at Rowan University's engineering department:
Public school teachers are being trained to do such things as make kites, and are encouraged to bring these "hands on" lessons back to their school districts. These courses and seminars are being paid for with taxpayers' money. Any program that is brought back to the school districts will also be paid for by the taxpayers.
Under the current financial crisis, it is absurd and cruel to have the overburdened taxpayers pay teachers to fly kites.
Where are our legislators who are permitting this to happen? After all, they are responsible for our public school system. Are they asleep, or too busy flying kites?

Siding Brands
Often, homeowners focus more on the interior of their homes than the exterior, deciding to renovate their kitchen or bath before doing anything about the siding that may be crying out for replacement. Considering that it's the curb appeal that is considered first when a house is on the market, a decision to redo the siding may be an important one to a homeowner seeking to sell at some point down the road.
According to market research conducted by Catalina Research, the $12.4 billion U.S. siding product industry has outpaced construction material shipments over the past decade. The U.S. market includes 35 North American major manufacturers of siding products, including metal, vinyl, and wood siding, fiber cement and insulated exterior finishing systems.
While our information about siding manufacturers doesn't include all thirty, we do provide information about siding products produced by the major companies, including Alcoa, Alside, Certainteed, Nailite, Napco, Reynolds, Royal, Vytec and Wolverine.
We also address the different types of siding materials with individual articles about brownstone, cedar, cement, fiber cement, hardwood, solid board, stucco and vinyl.

Boat races postponed to protect salmon
by Andrew Walgamott
Staff reporter
WOODINVILLE--Boat races scheduled for last weekend on the Sammamish River were canceled to protect salmon runs.
With low, warm water stressing some species of salmon making the dash from Lake Washington to spawning grounds, city officials postponed the kayak and canoe races indefinitely last week.
Doug Hennick, a state Department of Fish and Wildlife Area Habitat biologist, said a boater encountering a salmon could be enough to kill the fish.
The water temperature in the Sammamish is warm enough to be stressful and/or lethal to salmon. Hennick said salmon are making their way up the river from one thermal refuge, like underground springs and shady coves, to another. These refuges allow the fish to keep their body temperature down.
If a boater were to scare a stressed salmon out of a sanctuary, it could be "enough to send it to the great beyond," Hennick said.
The warm water is being blamed on the long, hot, dry summer the area has experienced, as well as a general lack of shade on the river. Hennick says temperatures over 68 degrees are bad for fish like salmon and trout. Those species have specialized enzymes that work best in cold water, he said.
Wendy Walsh, a resident of upper Bear Creek who is a member of the Water Tenders group, says it's best to stay out of the river from late August through November because that's when salmon use the stream to get to spawning grounds like Bear Creek and Little Bear Creek.
Hennick said sockeye and Chinook are migrating now, and cohos will begin their two-month run in mid-October.
Groups like Water Tenders are raising awareness about the importance of forest cover on habitat. In a recent newsletter Walsh warns that aerial surveys show the amount of trees in the Bear Creek drainage is approaching a threshold that state Department of Natural Resources studies have shown as necessary in order to maintain the integrity of watersheds.
On October 24, volunteers will plant trees along the Sammamish in four different spots; Woodinville, Bothell, Redmond and unincorporated King County. Call Doug Osterman at (206) 296-8069 for more information.
The event coincides with Woodinville's planting of Wilmot Gateway Park.
Call Lane Youngblood, 489-2700, to receive a volunteer packet.
Cindy Shelton, city recreation programmer, said the boat races, which were part of National Health and Fitness Day, may be done next spring associated with an event like Celebrate Woodinville.

text: The Waterless Method of Swimming Instruction was created by Robert Cohan in 1973. He wittily set the action in a dry swimming pool on board an ocean liner, in a stylishly cool set designed by Ian Murray Clark. At first, the dancers engaged in 'swimming' movements, including a bit of synchronised 'swimming', before extending into more general games and gymnastics. As a contrast to the dancing, Siobhan Davies performed a great piece of clowning in a classic routine of an awkward girl trying to put up a deckchair and trying to dress and undress herself inconspicuously for sunbathing.

Some parrot owners enjoy having their birds free flighted. They feel their parrots should be able to fly freely just as if they were in the wild. Others trim their parrot's wing-feathers. This makes it more difficult for the bird to fly and allows the owner more control, but it doesn't guarantee the bird is unable to fly. In either situation, it's a possibility that one day your parrot could get loose. Any pet owner who loves and cares for their pet will likely want nothing more than their pet's safe return if it ever got loose.
Are Parrots Serviced By My Local Shelter?
The first thing you'll want to find out is if local shelters service parrots.
In other cases, parrots might be fully serviced. Mark Rosenthal, operations manager of Commission on Animal Care And Control of Chicago, remarked, "We must take in anything that comes through our door, whether it be a dog, a cat, a ferret, a rabbit or a bird. It's an open shelter [and] we do not refuse service to anyone." Rosenthal said he doesn't get many calls in for sightings of stray parrots because they can't catch one if it's flying, but there are a lot of people who have captured cockatiels, which seem to be malnourished, during winter and bring them in.
At the Department of Animal Care and Control in San Francisco, your parrot won't be turned away. "We will always try [to capture an animal] if there is an animal in distress or need, we will always try," Campbell said. She said they encourages people to bring the animal in themselves, but if they are unable to capture it, they will do their best to try and find the animal, capture it and bring it in.
Time Is Of The EssenceIt's best if this information is known before an incident. The unique disadvantage parrot owners have if they lose their bird is that their parrot is not bound by the same obstacles that all other pets are. A bird is free to fly in aeronautical miles, which means the search radius for a bird is much larger than other pets. The longer your bird is missing, the farther it could potentially get. Contact shelters outside your local area if you don't find your bird in a local shelter. It might have gotten all the way into another city.
Another concern is the relatively short holding time most shelters have. After a period of time, they will begin adopting out a found animal.
"We hold [parrots] for the five-day holding period in accordance with the Hayden Bill," said Deb Campbell, spokesperson for the Department of Animal Care and Control in San Francisco. If the owner has not claimed the animal by then, and it is a legal animal with acceptable behavior, it is put up for adoption, Campbell said. If it has behavioral or health problems, then a rescue group would be contacted. Parrots are more susceptible to stress from being outdoors and come in injured or with other health problems. A lot of parrots that come in have been attacked by a hawk or a dog, according to Campbell.
Likewise, Darlene Rankin, director of Customer Service of the Humane Society of Broward County in Fort Lauderdale, Florida said that, if an animal is brought in, it is held for three to five days. Afterward, the animal is put up for adoption. The same five-day holding period holds true for the Commission of Animal Care and Control in Chicago.
If your parrot ends up at a private organization, the adoption turnaround might not be as much of a worry. Heather Morris, education coordinator of TWRC Wildlife Center in Houston said it receives calls directly and also get referrals from the Houston Humane Society. The office is setup for emergency services for wildlife, so if a domestic bird is brought in, one of the rehabilitators will take it home to a home-based facility and post the lost pet on 911ParrotAlert.com, Morris said. They hold the parrot for a month, sometimes up to two months, and wait for the owner, Morris said. If the parrot has not been returned to its owner after this, the parrot is usually kept by the rehabilitator and the rehabilitator tries to adopt the bird out on their own.
What To Do If Your Bird Is LostDarlene Rankin suggests you call your local shelters and fill out a lost pet report. She suggests you visit your local shelter to see if your parrot has been picked up every couple of days.
According to Mark Rosenthal, the best way to recover a lost pet is through a microchip because it's something that can't be lost. Microchips aren't that expensive; around $15 for the chip and placement. There is also an $18 registration fee for lifetime registration of the chip to the pet's owner through the manufacture. The manufacturer Commission on Animal Care and Control works with is Avid.
Websites such as 911ParrotAlert.com and PetFinder.com help pet owners and people who have found pets unite. YellowPages.com can be very helpful in finding local listings of shelters, and don't be afraid to ask shelters of other shelters nearby or places they work with or refer to.
