FAN CLUBBING: Since playing a lunatic groupie obsessed with JERRY LEWIS in the 1983 film The King of Comedy, MADONNA pal SANDRA BERNHARD has attracted a cult following of her own. Yet she's not at a fazed by the recent spate of threats to celebrities from deranged devotees. "They're scared of me," cracks Bernhard, who's filming a movie based on her solo show, Without You I'm Nothing. "I've always said, 'Honey, don't get near my ass.' I'm going to go after some fans and stalk them. I have an Uzi. They'll be so dead they won't know what hit them."
CULTURAL GLITTER-ACY: Actor RANDY QUAID, who won an Emmy for his 1987 portrayal of fellow Texan LBJ, heads back home soon to film Texasville, the sequel to 1971 's The Last Picture Show. Quaid remembers meeting CY-BILL SHEPHERD on the set of the original film when she was a glamorous fashion model and he a Texas college boy. "She was into Greek dramas at that time," says Quaid. "I was pretty impressed by that." Quaid has since developed his own highbrow tastes. "I listen to opera," he says. "Aida is my favorite, and lately I've been getting into WAGNER music dramas, like Tristan and Isolde." Quaid would "love to play an opera singer, like CARUSO. But I'd really rather play a conductor like HERBERT VON KARAJAN or GUSTAV MAHLER. They throw tantrums."
SPICE OF LIFE: Louisiana chef PAUL PRUDHOMME, inventor of black-cued red fish and instigator of the Cajun cooking craze, is such a sensitive soul that "you can ruin three or four days of my life by giving me bad crawfish étouffé," he says. If he hadn't become a chef (a job that is naturally hazardous to his figure), "I'd weigh 120 lbs. and I'd be gorgeous and I'd be a gigolo," says the portly Prudhomme, with relish. "I love women, every kind in existence." Including, he says, women who don't like to eat, because "I can change their whole life in an instant. You put something in front of them that they can't stop eating, and boy, you got somebody's heart. I mean, you can start fooling around immediately—with complete power."
QUARTERBACK KEEPER: What with his recent induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame and his new autobiography, Looking Deep, due out soon, ex-Steeler quarterback TERRY BRADSHAW has been pondering his past. This includes his failed marriage to ice skater JO JO STARBUCK, whose career, he claims, interfered with his family plans. Bradshaw, 40, a self-proclaimed male chauvinist, feels his new wife, CHARLA, 27 (at right with daughter Rachel), has a more acceptable attitude toward matrimony. "My ex-wife seemed to be competing with me, "says Bradshaw. "All she wanted to do was just spend my money and hit the airwaves and skate in every town in the world and buy skating outfits. Hell, I never saw her. This gal, when Tin around, she makes me feel like a king."
DIAL-A-DATE: Knots Landing's BRIAN GREEN, who played the son of DONNA MILLS, thinks he has a surefire formula for love in the fast lane. "I just turned 16, got my driver's license and picked up a new car," says Green. "It's cool. It even has a cellular phone-y. That's a plastic device that looks like a real car phone. If you happen to be driving past a really attractive girl, you pull it out, look real important, they get turned on, and the rest is history." Or a two-car collision.

American Civil War Railroad Tacticsby Peter Dennis Robert Hodges
Osprey's study of the battles fought on America's railroads during the Civil War 91861-1865). The American Civil War was the world's first full-blown 'railroad war'. The well-developed network in the North was of great importance in serving the Union army's logistic needs over long distances, and the sparser resources of the South were proportionately even more important. Both sides invested great efforts in raiding and wrecking enemy railroads and defending and repairing their own, and battles often revolved around strategic rail junctions. Robert Hodges reveals the thrilling chases and pitched battles that made the railroad so dangerous and resulted in a surprisingly high casualty rate. He describes the equipment and tactics used by both sides and the vital supporting elements - maintenance works, telegraph lines, fuel and water supplies, as well as garrisoned blockhouses to protect key points. Full-color illustrations bring the fast-paced action to life in this fascinating read; a must-have volume for both rail and Civil War enthusiasts.
The Browning Automatic Rifleby Johnny Shumate Robert Hodges
For nearly fifty years the hard-hitting, mobile Browning Automatic Rifle, or BAR, served in US infantry units as a light squad automatic "base of fire" weapon, providing quick bursts of concentrated fire. It was developed in response to the central dilemma of infantry combat in World War I - the need for a squad-level weapon that could suppress emplaced machine-gun positions. Designed by the renowned firearms manufacturer John M. Browning, the BAR could be fired from the shoulder or the hip while on the move. Unfortunately, initial production difficulties and commanders' reluctance to feed the new weapon piecemeal into the front line meant it was September 1918 before the BAR saw combat.In the interwar years US forces used the BAR across the world, from China to Nicaragua; versions equipped the armed forces of Belgium, Sweden and Poland. It also became a favorite of notorious gangsters like Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker, who prized its ability to punch through police armored cars as though they were made of cardboard. US lawmen rapidly acquired the BAR for themselves, with the Colt R 80 "Monitor" variant becoming the official fighting rifle of the FBI from 1931.At the outset of World War II the US armed forces decided to adapt the BAR for a light machine gun role. The BAR was not without its flaws; it was heavy and difficult to dismantle and reassemble, and it didn't cope well with sustained fire. Nevertheless, the BAR saw action in every major theater of World War II and went on to be used in Korea and in the opening stages of the Vietnam War. Brigadier General S.L.A. Marshall's pioneering study of men in combat revealed the tremendous psychological boost that the BAR gave to a squad in the field; Marshall discovered that riflemen were so glad to have a BAR in their midst that they readily volunteered to carry extra ammunition for their gunner.Featuring arresting first-hand accounts, specially drawn full-color artwork and close-up photographs, many in color, this lively study offers a vivid portrait of this powerful, long-lived and innovative weapon that saw service with US and other forces across the world for much of the twentieth century.

Abbott's Deal for Advanced Medical Optics — A Timeline
Alleged insider traders could have done far worse than trading on Abbott Laboratories buying Advanced Medical Optics in early 2009.
On January 12, 2009, Abbott announced it was paying $2.8 billion, including debt, for Advanced Medical Optics, a bet on there being a growing population of old people that would need Lasik surgery.
The price of $22 was a big win for Advanced Medical shareholders, given shares had closed the day before at just $8.85. The offer was triple the stock's average price over the previous week.
Now a Goldman Sachs managing director's involvement in the deal is being probed, The Wall Street Journal is reporting today.
The Wall Street Journal says federal prosecutors and the SEC are investigating whether Goldman's Matthew Korenberg passed inside information about the deal to a member of convicted insider-trader Raj Rajaratnam's circle.
Korenberg hasn't been charged with any wrongdoing. A lawyer for Korenberg said he has "never tipped inside information" and Goldman Sachs said in a statement that it has been aware of the allegations for "more than two years, investigated them" and that Korenberg remains "actively employed by the firm."
Here's a timeline of the merger, culled from federal filings, along with Advanced Medical's share prices at that time.
October 2008 –$17.42 — Advanced Medical hires Goldman Sachs to assist in exploring the strategic options available, including a possible sale of the company and potential capital raising and corporate restructuring transactions. Also hired was UBS Securities to assist in exploring potential capital raising and corporate restructuring.
October 2-10– $7 to $6.83– Abbott purchases 2.45 million shares of Advanced Medical in the open market.
October 22 — $6.09 — Abbott Chairman and CEO Miles D. White meets with Advanced Medical Chairman and CEO James Mazzo.
October 24 –$4.92 – Two sides enter into a non-disclosure agreement.
October 26 — $4 – Executives from both sides meet to discuss acquisition.
November 5 to late December — $7.47 to $6.61 –Advanced Medical attempts to raise money through a PIPE transaction with certain hedge funds, public money managers and private equity groups as the global markets fall apart.
November 10 — $6.59 – Advanced Medical meets with an unidentified second potential bidder.
December 1 — $4.88 – Abbott submits a non-binding preliminary proposal to acquire Advanced Medical for $21 to $23 a share. Abbott hires law firm Jones Day.
December 2 — $5.85 – Advanced Medical's board, Goldman Sachs and its lawyers at Skadden, discuss the proposed transaction and decide to take to allow Abbott to conduct due diligence.
December 8 — $5.95 – Advanced Medical grants Abbott access to "the data room" for due diligence.
December 9 — $5.33 – The unidentified bidder drops out.
December 15, 16 — $5.48 to $6 – Both sides, along with their lawyers and financial advisers, meet in Newport Beach, Calif.
December 28 — $5.92 – Abbott reiterates its $21 a share purchase.
January 6, 2009 — $7.87 – Abbott indicates it would consider upping its bid to $22 a shares.
January 9 — $8.85 — Morgan Stanley writes a fairness opinion for Abbott.
January 11 – Advanced Medical holds a board meeting on Sunday with advisers and agrees to the merger.
January 12, before market opens Monday – Deal is announced to the public.

Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia offered a passionate defense of young tackles Nate Solder and Marcus Cannon on Wednesday, saying that "all young tackles struggle on plays and protections in this league" while talking about the second-year Solder, who has taken over at the left tackle spot for Matt Light, who retired following the 2011 season.
"I think Nate Solder's a better player today than he was all of last year. So you figure that out," Scarnecchia told reporters. "Next question."
Scarnecchia recalled the rookie year of Matt Light, who replaced four-time All Pro Bruce Armstrong in 2001.
"I think all young tackles struggle on plays in protection in this league," Scarnecchia told reporters. "Just do a little thinking. Who did Matt Light replace? Bruce Armstrong. Did any of you think it would be easy? Did you think [Light] had any problems with it to start with? Well hell yeah, they all had problems. I mean, it is what it is.
"Personally, I'm really pleased with the way they're developing," he said of the offensive line. "Is it the finished product? No. And we got a couple more weeks to get it to as good as it can be and then we're going to play. We're going to play a game. Nate started for us at right tackle last year. Marcus (Cannon) played some and it is what it is. We'll put our best players on the field and we expect nothing but their best."

With four number one albums on the Adult Contemporary and Smooth Jazz charts, the Walters Concert Series presents this local legend with special guests.
(Hillsboro, Oregon) - The Walters Cultural Arts Center at 527 East Main Street in Hillsboro presents Tom Grant, Friday, November 15 at 7:30 p.m. Grant is known as a master pianist, accomplished singer and songwriter who makes sophisticated use of the Smooth Jazz he helped to pioneer. He will be performing a wide range of music with special local performers and also performing tunes from his CD Delicioso. General admission tickets are $15 in advance and $20 day of show and can be purchased by calling the Walters box office at 503-615-3485 or online at www.tomgrantinconcert.brownpapertickets.com. Group discounts are also available. For a detailed list of upcoming concerts, classes and events visit www.hillsboro-oregon.gov/Walters.
A polished entertainer, Tom Grant has touched listeners worldwide because his subtle, skillful music is always cheerful and accessible yet deeply resonant. In his voice and touch on piano, we hear the perfect marriage: the improvisational jazz fusion that first propelled him to the top joined with the warm, melodic grooves that have kept him there.
Grant was raised in Portland by a tap dancing father who taught him drums and piano and let him listen to jazz in his record store. Grant didn't realize music would be his life, and took a high school teaching job right out of college.
In 1970, Native American saxophonist Jim Pepper swept Tom off to New York. Soon, Grant was touring and recording with some of the top names in jazz, including Miles Davis's fiery young drummer, Tony Williams, who was shaping the new sound of jazz-rock fusion. When he returned to Portland 10 years later, Grant took what he'd learned, filtered it through pop music of the day, and, in 1983, began presenting a new sound of his own. A series of his albums — including Mango Tango, In My Wildest Dream and The View from Here — topped Smooth Jazz charts for nearly 20 years.
The Walters Cultural Arts Center is conveniently located just two blocks off the MAX Blue line in historic downtown Hillsboro. For further information, call 503-615-3485 or visit the website at www.hillsboro-oregon.gov/wcac. Many thanks go to the event sponsors whose generosity and support has made it possible to enhance the Arts Center's offerings and services. Sponsors include Tuality Healthcare, Larkspur Landing, Amelia's Restaurant and Claeys Catering.

The Walters Cultural Arts Center is a premier west side visual arts and performance facility. Part of the City of Hillsboro Parks & Recreation department, the Arts Center is home to a 200 seat state-of-the-art performance and event space, art galleries and numerous art studios dedicated to art and cultural workshops and classes representing a wide variety of art forms.

Stuck on You
Before entering my screening of "Stuck On You" I was probed repeatedly by unibrowed security guards scanning for recording devices. While I realize that digital piracy is a concern for movies like "The Lord of the Rings," for "Stuck On You" it's the height of pretension. Anyone who pirates a movie this bad should be jailed for stupidity.
This Farrelly brothers film has everything a comedy should -- with the possible exception of funny moments. Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear play conjoined twins Bob and Walt, who do everything together: They own a burger joint, play hockey, star in plays and trade motivational speeches. They're close enough to make Ben Affleck leave J-Lo.
They abandon their movie version of a working-class hamlet (Martha's Vineyard) for the bright lights of L.A. so Walt can pursue an acting career. That's right, Hollywood has barfed up yet another Hollywood story, featuring the Walk of Fame, struggling actors, ubiquitous screenwriters, stars playing themselves in "aw shucks" cameos, and plastic surgery jokes, such as Cher. At this point, most of the audience whipped out cell phones and started checking showtimes in adjoining theaters.
The end of this movie wanders off into the weeds and gets so lost its poster should be on the side of a milk carton. I won't reveal the specifics (I can't make up stuff that boring), except to say that the one guy who did sneak past the guards with a digital recorder smashed it to bits against his own skull as the closing credits rolled.

State Lunch and Break Law Governing Texas
Posted on April 6, 2016 bySarah
I find that many employees and employers alike wonder what the state laws mandate as far as lunches and breaks are concerned. You might find it interesting to know that Texas is a state where employers are not required to give any lunch breaks or other breaks to employees
While there isn't a state law on the books about lunches and breaks, there are applicable federal laws for Texans. Many people believe that they are entitled to a meal or break under federal law, but this is not the case. The federal law does offer instructions for employers as to whether or not an employee should be paid during these times if any meals or breaks are offered.
Short rest breaks (often 20 minutes or less) must not be deducted from an employee's daily pay. Lunch breaks or other true meal periods are usually 30 minutes or more, and do not need to be counted or paid as work time. Employees must stop work entirely during this meal break in order for it not to be paid. If the employee is still required to do any work duties (even something as minor as answering a phone), it must instead be a paid meal break.
Federal law also contains other regulations of interest related to employee pay during times of waiting, sleeping and traveling. With the issue of sleeping time, an employee who is scheduled to be on duty for less than 24 hours is considered to be "working" even if he or she is permitted to sleep during some of that time. If an employee is working more than 24 hours, a sleeping period of up to eight hours may be deducted from his or her pay. However, this can only be done if sleeping facilities is provided and at least five hours of uninterrupted sleep may be achieved by the employee.
Many of us spend a lot of time each day in the car or traveling in some form of public transportation. Can any of this be paid as work time? The general rule is that time spent in the normal day's travel to and from work is not considered paid working time. However, if an employee is traveling in the course of a day's work, it must be counted as paid work hours.
A final issue I'll cover in this blog entry is waiting time. In some situations waiting time should be paid, but not in all circumstances. If an employee is allowed to pursue personal interests while waiting for another task to be finished or while waiting at the workplace for his or her services to be called upon, it is generally counted as work time. However, if an employee is waiting to be called upon from home or elsewhere, but has great freedom to do what he or she wishes while on call (and has plenty of time to respond to the call), it is not generally considered paid work time.
A thorough listing helpful information on the laws related to lunches, breaks and other pertinent labor issues can be found on the Texas All in One Labor Law Poster.

Clover Quick Yo Yo Maker
Large and small butterfly templates
Gifted by Clover
Reviewed By Maria Nerius
A new shape in Clover's line of yo yo making templates, the butterfly stands out as unique. When is the last time you saw a butterfly yo yo? I loved it. I made butterflies to embellish clothing, accessories, card fronts, and journal covers. Once you have the butterfly created you can embellish to your heart's content with beads, buttons, lace, inks, paint, charms, and more. The sky is the limit so let your butterflies take flight. The instructions are well written and well illustrated. The packaging also includes lots of great ideas from jewelry to pillows. The template is sturdy and made to last. The yo yos created have an interesting and dynamic dimensional quality. With every new fabric you create a unique, yet uniform yo yo butterfly. The small measures approx. 1 1/4" x 1 1/2" while the large measures approx. 1 3/4" x 2 1/4". I'm going to make some butterflies to use in my gift-wrapping and basket decorating since it will be one of a kind!

Eanes shares his birthday
Pink sang about "The Truth of Love," John Legend explained "The Future of Love" and the cast of "Rent" detailed the "Seasons of Love."
None of them touched on the emotions of love (though the Emotions did sing "Best of My Love" back in 1975).
Leave it to Byron Eanes to cover that vast territory. The Erie R&B artist will celebrate his 25th birthday today with a CD release show for "Emotions of Love" at PACA, 1505 State St.
"All of this started about eight to 10 months ago with me just writing, at the end of last summer, based on relationships -- the good times and bad times and what I experienced from having a bad relationship," he said.
He pondered what to expect from relationships, and he surveyed friends about their experiences. Eanes assimilated all that and poured what he found and felt into "Emotions of Love."
"It's me speaking on the female and the male perspectives," he said. "I'm saying no one is wrong; we all need to be fair in the game of love, pretty much."
He grew up in a musical family, including plenty of church singing. In 2008, he took a stab at Erie Idol, the local contest inspired by "American Idol," and made the top five. He also did musical theater, appearing in Erie Playhouse productions of "Dreamgirls" and "The Wiz."
He's most passionate about writing songs and performing them, however.
"I pay homage to Toni Braxton, Aaliyah, Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, Babyface, those big, iconic celebrities who paved the way for people like myself."
On "Emotions of Love," Eanes delves into R&B and soul with subtle hip-hop and dance shadings, especially on "Movie." Let him explain that one.
"It's kind of a crazy song, basically about convincing a girl that we should make a homemade adult film," he said. "But it's not typical, what you think it would be. You can listen to it. I'm convincing her in a playful way we should make a movie.
"People love that song," he added. "It's a total dance song you can move to, and has a hip-hop feel."
One of his personal favorites: "Keep On."
"It's me reaching out to my significant other and saying, 'Hey, sometimes we have hard times in a relationship. We're not always going to agree. But keep on pushing and keeping on being loyal to me. I'll be loyal to you. We'll weather the storm and let's rock out together.'"
He hopes Erie music fans rock out with him today at 8 p.m. at PACA ($5 admission). C. Brown, Lady A, Knox, Honeybee and more will join him at a show that doubles as a birthday bash. Don't bring a gift, though.
"Instead of receiving gifts, this is my gift to the city."

Brushing aside allegations that she used campaign funds for personal reasons, as well as the federal charges being levied against her former campaign manager, Blondell Reynolds Brown says she's not considering leaving office. "I've continued to be in quite a lot of contact with all of my colleagues and I'm encouraged by the level of support I've received and continue to receive," she said. As to whether she's still considering a mayoral run, perhaps it's best to hold those questions for the time being. [Newsworks]

&I and the whole ship of rats have been committing hate crimes, assaults and worse whistleblower retaliation to cover up their crimes and the crimes of the NW cronies since 2006, bringing me close to death several times and deliberately and with malice , step by step destroying my life for finding out and collecting the evidence on their crimes. They all belong in jail. I think Blondell and the rest of them have bigger things to worry about than campaign funds.

BICEP's Principles
Our Vision
Business for Innovative Climate and Energy Policy (BICEP) is an advocacy coalition of businesses committed to working with policy makers to pass meaningful energy and climate legislation that is consistent with our core principles.
BICEP was founded on the belief that the energy and climate challenges facing the United States present vast opportunities, along with urgent risks, for U.S. businesses. A rapid transition to a 21st century, low-carbon economy will create new jobs and stimulate economic growth while stabilizing our planet's fragile climate.
We, the members of BICEP, seek long-term prosperity for our businesses, our economy, and the countries and communities in which we operate. We work in every state and our products and services are in the homes and impact the lives of Americans across the country. As individual companies, we have taken strong steps to reduce our emissions and become more energy efficient, but we recognize that the U.S. must act boldly and swiftly to enact effective energy and climate policies to address the challenges and seize the opportunities we face. Only the market certainty provided by clear policies will spur development of an efficient clean energy economy at the necessary scale, and allow the U.S. to remain globally competitive.
Our Goal
In accordance with the recommendations of an overwhelming majority of leading climate scientists, BICEP's overall goal is broad, bi-partisan consensus among policy makers to reduce US greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050, with an interim goal of at least 25 percent below 1990 levels by 2020. We recognize that there are a number of ways to reach this level of mitigation.
We therefore stand behind the following principles in the development of U.S. energy and climate policy:
Our Principles
- Promote Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
- Increase Investment in a Clean Energy Economy
- Support Climate Change Adaptation, Technology Transfer and Forest Preservation
Essential Policy Elements
- Establish aggressive energy efficiency policies.
The United States should promote at least a doubling of the historic rate of efficiency improvement.
- Adopt a renewable energy policy.
The United States should require that 20 percent of the nation's electricity be generated by renewable energy sources by 2020, and 30 percent by 2030.
- Increase investment in clean energy technology.
The United States should encourage and incentivize public and private investment in energy efficiency and renewable energy technology.
- Encourage transportation for a clean energy economy.
The United States should enact standards, incentives, and other policies to promote efficient and alternative fuel vehicles, low-carbon fuels, reductions in vehicle miles traveled and transit-oriented development.
- Promote an efficient energy market by adjusting fuel subsidies and pricing carbon appropriately.
The United States should adjust energy subsidies to discourage higher polluting energy sources and provide incentives for cleaner ones. All energy prices and relevant subsidies should eventually reflect their full environmental, social and economic costs.
- Support climate change adaptation domestically and internationally.
The United States should support the development of adaptation technology to prepare for and adapt to extreme weather, water scarcity, reduced crop yields, and other climate impacts that harm local communities and global supply chains alike.
- Support developing countries in reducing carbon emissions.
The United States should support developing countries in designing and implementing low carbon growth strategies by encouraging technology transfers and forest protection.

DeLand, Fla. - Visiting 37th-ranked Memphis (10-2) handed the 70th-ranked Stetson men's tennis team (6-2) a tough 6-1 defeat at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center on Wednesday afternoon. Senior Maksim Levanovich (Minsk, Belarus), named Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week earlier today, earned the only point for the Hatters with a straight-set victory at the top of the singles lineup.
Levanovich, who in his last outing defeated Penn's 83rd-ranked Ivan Turudic, knocked off David O'Hare 6-3, 6-3 on Court 1 in singles action to get the Hatters on the scoreboard. O'Hare had been ranked 50th nationally in the spring preseason Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) poll. Freshman Chester Espie (Auckland, New Zealand) nearly gave Stetson a second point, battling his Tigers opponent Leon Nasemann to a 6-3, 3-6, 1-0 tiebreaker decision on Court 6.
Memphis won all three doubles matches to take an early 1-0 lead before singles play.
"We played an outstanding team today and I know our players learned a lot from this match," Stetson Director of Tennis Pierre Pilote said afterwards. "Memphis plays great doubles and unfortunately some little mistakes we made cost us a lot against such a good team. We will rebound from this match as we always do and we will become a better team for having played it."
Stetson returns to action on the road at 2:00 pm Friday when it visits Georgia Southern. The Hatters will remain in Statesboro, Ga. to face Georgia State in a neutral site match at 12:00 pm Saturday before returning home.

Dell Still pricing Linux higher than Windows on same hardware
We, my partner and I receive a regular advertising newsletter from Dell, because our company is on their mailing list, apparently although we have never purchased a single Dell, we are one of their best customers (the deal is offered to quote "our best customers"). The latest one was pushing a special rate on Dell Laptops and desktops with Windows 7, around $1750. So I rang the up and asked for a price with Linux.

Enforced Disappearance as a Crime Under International Law: A Neglected Origin in the Laws of War
Brian Finucane
Department of State
June 28, 2009
Yale Journal of International Law, Vol. 35, p. 171, 2010
Enforced disappearance as a crime under international law has a long and neglected history. In this Note I argue that the criminal prohibition of disappearance is rooted in the laws of war, rather than in late-twentieth-century human rights law. By analyzing the judgments of the Nuremberg Tribunals, I show that the conduct underlying enforced disappearance carried individual criminal liability at the time of the Second World War, both as a war crime and as a crime against humanity. I trace the origins of the prohibition to the protection of the family by the nineteenth-century laws of war. By using the prosecution of enforced disappearance in Bosnia and Herzegovina as a case study, I show the practical relevance of enforced disappearance's grounding in the laws of war.

The Philadelphia Flyers currently hold six picks, including No. 17 overall in the first round, for the 2014 NHL draft, which takes place on Friday night in Philadelphia.
Their farm system has been really weak under Paul Holmgren, but new general manager Ron Hextall has claimed to be a big proponent of building through the draft, per NHL.com. He will have his first chance to do that very soon.
A trade up seems very unlikely at this point, with Brayden Schenn locked up for two more years in a great deal, so I chose to not feature any potential moves in this mock.
Also note that the Flyers' current third-round pick comes from the Boston Bruins and will be upgraded to a second rounder if Andrej Meszaros re-signs with Boston before the draft. That seems unlikely at this stage, so I assume the third-rounder is set in stone.
Here is my 2014 NHL mock draft for the Philadelphia Flyers.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Trademarks, copyrights, and patents are among the most contentious pieces of law anywhere, and it's very easy to make enemies by swinging your constitutional protections the wrong way.
Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL ) is no stranger to these issues; heck, the company secured a trademark for its own fruity name way back in 1977. It has been on the receiving end of disputes, such as when Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO ) registered the iPhone name first. These days, Apple keeps busy in the courtroom by filing patent infringement suits against Motorola (NYSE: MOT ) and HTC and then defending against the inevitable countersuits. And just to be different, the company has secured a service mark for the phrase "There's an app for that."
The next time Verizon wants to poke fun at AT&T and its 3G coverage, it may want to stay away from clever turns of phrase like "There's a map for that." Otherwise, Apple's lawyers might come knocking with a subpoena. We Fools are less likely to run into legal trouble for twisting those words thanks to Fair Use laws, but the knowledge of this specialized trademark now hangs over my head. Never mind that "There's an app for that" jumped the shark long ago -- lawyers have itchy trigger fingers sometimes. With that in mind, here's a couple of marketing messages that probably won't fly anymore:
- Starbucks Frappucinos: "Droopy? There's a frap for that."
- Sealy mattresses: "Tired? There's a nap for that."
- Death Row Records: "Angry? There's a rap for that."
- Subway: "Hungry? There's a wrap for that."
- Orkin: "Mice? There's a trap for that."
And so it goes -- acres of creativity laid to waste in a single filing. In Apple's defense, the application was filed last December while the phrase still sounded a little bit fresh. As it stands, I don't think this trademark matters much anymore.
Did I miss your favorite "There's an app" joke? Share the mirth in the comments below.

"Individual responsibility and mutual responsibility, that's the essence of the American promise" said Barak Obama in his historic acceptance address closing out the Democratic convention. And so it is at Integrity House where 'self help and mutual help' play a major part in our philosophy. Hobart Mowrer at Urbana University in the 60's said it best, "you alone must do it but you can't do it alone."
Recovery from addiction requires lifestyle change, practiced over time and real help comes from people who care and who can spend the time needed teaching, supporting and encouraging addicts to help themselves and others.
In an article in the New York Times 8-29-08 pointing out the problem of Bolivia's coca production, Lt. Col. Jose German Cuevas, the commander of a Bolivian special forces unit who hunts down cocaine traffickers, says "We depend on the Americans for everything: our bonuses, our training, our vehicles, even our boots." Yet Evo Morales, President of Bolivia demonstrates the contradictory nature of our foreign aid and drug interdiction policy: "Mr. Morales, a former grower of coca, the raw ingredient of cocaine, is both an antagonist and an active partner in American anti-drug policy for the region. He often describes the United States as his leading adversary and has made the right to grow the coca leaf a top symbol of sovereignty and anti-imperialism."
With our $100 million in aid to Bolivia every year, shouldn't we have the right to expect them to fall in line with our expectations to stop growing coca? The facts of continued and increasing coca growth show that dollar handouts alone not only do not work but they alienate many Bolivian countrymen whose survival often depends on the coca plant. Similar US heavy handed one dimensional interdiction efforts seen in Afghanistan need reexamining in view of the fact that Afganistan now produces over 90% of the worlds poppy plant. Opium and heroin, made from the Poppy, are demanded by tens of thousands of Americans every day. Failure to understand addicts needs in this country as well as the market concept of worldwide drug trafficking have caused treatment dollars to be small compared to our multi billion dollar interdiction budget. Meanwhile, the biggest drug abuse threat to the US now is the abuse of legal drugs: "Methadone now ranks as the fastest-growing source of narcotic deaths in the country, and many experts believe lack of federal oversight and dangerous prescribing practices by physicians are largely to blame, the New York Times reported Aug. 17." One of the results of our government's mishandeling of the problem of drug abuse and addiction, is long waiting lists for treatment (Integrity's is over 400). However in spite of government research by the National Institute of Drug Addiction (NIDA) showing that 3 months is the minimum time for treatment even to begin to take effect HMO's are funding short 7 to 28 day treatment often with high failure rates.
Interdiction efforts and foreign aid are solid parts of our US policy but without an understanding of the culture and history of the people we help, we are certain to have difficulty making progress in reducing the illegal drug flow into our country.
When I started working with addicts who were my former parolees, in the mid 60's, I gave them help and money to find jobs. In turn they took the money and bought drugs and then preyed on me for more money. After 6 muggings and much listening and prayer, I realized I did not understand the addict. I learned that if you give an addict money he or she may misinterpret your kindness for weakness and I became a target. They knew I loved them but it was obvious that I didn't have the time to listen to and understand them or respect who they were even if their past represented years of addiction and criminality and prison time. The turning point in Integrity came when I stopped and asked for help from the addicts themselves. I got it and then they got it.
Integrity House, Bridge to Recovery, Bethel Outreach Ministries, The Newark Interfaith Coalition for Peace and Hope, The Street Warriers, 'The Council', members of the city administration and Council, Newark Now and Nicholson Foundation and many other caring people and spiritual leaders have been showing this kind of 'listening and understanding' in Bradley Court, Newark for the last three years and the people there trust us. They know we will support them in taking swift action when something is wrong. We are part of their neighborhood and even their families. For the most part, our money and direction and guidance comes by request up from the neighborhood families. Inflicting it on them without their belonging and interest is far less effective and is often resented as in the Bolivian situation described above. Progress comes over time with our quiet partnership and encouragement and nurturing. We are now part of the neighborhood and the culture and can work with them to reward and support their progress rather than expecting them to respond to our notions because of our money or authority.
This kind of mutual help and understanding might be a template for more effective policy in Bolivia and Afghanistan. Hope and help come through a long caring effort by many people who understand those who they help. This kind of real empowerment of addicts and of neighborhoods and of cultures different than our own is much more effective than all of the dollars and welfare that often turns people in need into helpless people with greed.
Fostering individual responsibility and mutual responsibility or concern and help for others is surely "the essence of the American dream," as well as the 'quintessence of help.'

Spain's Santander Central
Hispano began merging its two Chilean banks in August 2002 to
form the country's largest bank in terms of assets, deposits,
loans and equity. The new bank, Banco Santander Chile, also
makes a lot more money than its competitors, spitting out $88.9
million in pre-tax income in the second quarter of this year,
over 50% more than its nearest competitor, locally owned Banco
de Chile.
Pre-tax income rose by almost half to $256.7 million for the
whole of last year, the third consecutive year of growth. This
is quite an achievement, given Chile's sluggish growth and the
$75 million in restructuring charges the merged bank took in
the fourth quarter. These charges virtually eliminated the
bank's fourth quarter results in 2002. Banco Santander Chile
takes this year's LatinFinance award for best bank in
Chile on the strength of this enviable performance.

This week, ESPN President George Bodenheimer '80 was the featured interviewee of "The Monday Interview" in London's Financial Times. (To read the article, you can go to www.ft.com and register for free limited access to the publication.)
Written by Matthew Garrahan and David Gelles, the article, titled "The Diplomacy of a Good Sport," highlights Bodenheimer's rise at ESPN. He is the company's longest serving executive, and over the past 30 years, he has seen it expand dramatically by embracing innovation and change.
"It's a competitive culture [here] and it's a strength," Bodenheimer says in the story of ESPN, which is based in Bristol, Conn. "I believe it's the most important thing in the company."
After graduating from Denison with a degree in economics, Bodenheimer began work with ESPN in 1981. He worked in the company's mailroom, and really, it was the perfect start. By delivering mail to company employees, he was able to meet just about everybody.
Bodenheimer, who wanted to work in sports and entertainment, landed the job after a friend of his father's, who worked for CBS, mentioned cable television to him. He went through an intimidating interview with the director of human resources at ESPN, then landed his first job with the company.
From there, he worked his way up. In 1982, he took a sales and marketing job in Texas where he was selling ESPN to local cable operators in five states across the Southwest.
"I would make three calls a day and would pull into a town for an appointment," Bodenheimer says in the article. "Many times they were these mom and pop operations. They would say: 'You know George, [ESPN] is a crazy idea. But this is a sports town so it might work.' "
Bodenheimer told the Financial Times those sales pitches taught him that every American town—and every city in the world, for that matter—sees itself as a sports town. ESPN, he says, plays at this idea.
In 1986, Bodenheimer was appointed executive vice president of sales and marketing, and in 1998, he became the company's fifth president. In addition to his position with ESPN, Bodenheimer serves as president of ABC Sports and as co-chairman of Disney Media Networks. All three entities are affiliates of the Walt Disney Company, and The Sporting News has recognized him as the "Most Powerful Person in Sports."
ESPN's headquarters in Bristol have a close-knit, family feel to them, the article says, but the company is no small-time operation. In Bodenheimer's time with the company, it has spread across the country and beyond, with the rights to some Premier League and FA Cup football matches in the UK and 13 local versions of SportsCenter in eight languages. All of this is managed from Bristol, where the company has more than 5,000 employees.
In the Financial Times interview, Bodenheimer also talks about the ways in which ESPN has and continues to progress. The company, for instance, is embracing new technology, jumping on board with the current iPhone and iPad craze. They recently released an app that allows subscribers of some cable operators to watch ESPN on their iPhones and iPads.
The journalists—Garrahan and Gelles—also note Bodenheimer's diplomatic nature. When asked about his favorite sport and favorite team, Bodenheimer showed no favoritism. "I enjoy all of them," he said. "I'm a fan of all teams."
And how could the president of ESPN—the world's biggest sports television network—answer any differently?

Mao88, if I were a person who is truly upset about fuss over Lipnis scores, I would have never created this thread (of this title). Because Carrolls opinion is much more powerful than GS users(or trolls) meaningless complaints.
You seem to be in a state of mixed feelings.
I don't think the Olympic judges really care what Frank Carroll says.
I am a LONG time lurker on this forum, delurking to show support to Mao88 who has done wonderful things for this forum and to say I am fed up with the behavior on this forum. I remember when coming here was a joy because all of us were FANS of the sport. Not fans of hating on every skater and every one who had something positive to say about a skater.
Mao88 should have known better than to have anything even close to resembling something positive to say about Julia Lipnitskaia on this forum. According to everyone on this forum she isn't capable of tying her skate laces up properly. The amount of hate this poor 15 year old (and others) have received this year has been epic. And now that we come to the Olympics the hate is just obscene.
Robin Cousins stated that Katarina Witt gave the kid a standing ovation and that he would have to if he hadn't been tied up in wires. So apparently she isn't the awful skater that all of you want her to be. Sinead Kerr was also extremely impressed per absoluteskating.com with the kid. I will take the opinion of experts over the 100 pages of hate this board has unleashed. You all hate her. WE GET IT!!!
If we were truly fans of the sport we would be thrilled with the attention that the sport is receiving right now because lets face it the attention in this sport was dead on arrival to the Olympics. Anything that brings positive attention to the sport is great as far as I am concerned. Imagine being a new fan coming to this board trying to share your new found excitement and all you get is hate.
Now I think I have done my job and you will all start hating on me. Mao88 please ignore the haters on the board and please continue to post the wonderful videos that MOST people on this board would not be able to enjoy without you.
Oh honestly, who cares. We know that in Russia the Russians' scores would be higher than usual, and any potential competitors to them will be held down. Just let the Olympics Russiophilia ride out and hope skaters to put out good performances and hope placements are correct, even if the scores are ridiculous.
As long as judging is fair, you're all welcome to join.
The younger girls have the rotation and the fearlessness advantage over the older girls.
The older girls have the experience and the maturity and years of improving PCS over the younger girls.
The problem is this Julia girl is getting ridiculous PCS that no one in the history of the sport had ever gotten. Her rise is meteoric and no one can say with a straight face that her SS was better than Mao, Yuna, Carolina got a year ago, and took them 8 years to get to that level.
Her flaws are completely overlooked. Hello!!!! What the **** is all that doodling?
Mao88 definitly is not a troll. Although Mao88 , your arguments are weird, SS are not about to be clean or not, the skater has good ss or not it is independent. And what about she getting higher scores in her triples than Gracie?, especially Julia with flutz, but ok even if she could have a real lutz , gracie 3-3 is better. I am not a gracie fan, I am a Mao fan and believe me in some moment I thought it would be great anyone winning gold medal but Yuna (because her fans) but not now, not like this, Julia scores are ridiculous. And you can not believe that really everyone in the forum hate her and are unfair toward her, the complaints are becausd the problem is real, something is not good about judging at Sochi.
At SC for the SP she received these score in components:
IN-7.21 (most judges gave her marks throughout the 7s, while a couple judges gave her 8.00s, and few others gave high 6s(particularly for SS and TR).
These marks were fair because while the program was satisfactory and I loved the idea of the SP, it was definitely lacking in the first two components, and for the other three the potential was there but she was more skating through the program that actually living/performing to it.
At Rostelecom Cupmany if not most people have said that with one mark rising the other four do too, whether it's justified for all of them, right?)
IN-8.36 (all judges thought CH, PE, and IN were worthy of low to mid 8s, and SS and TR, followed with the relative difference between those two and the other three being the same as at SC.
Julia performed the program much better here the jumps were more solid, the spins better, the stepseq was great and the ch, was performed and executed to the music better so her interpretation went up. The only thing that I would chane is to bring her SS mark down more because, while I don't think so, others do. Even if you change that so she's at 7.25 the same as at SC that only brings her mark down less than a point.
If you look at the GP Final she skated her program very well, but it was somewhat lacking compared to COR, although much better than at SC. The judges don't seem to know what to score for components. Each of the components is only 0.30 points higher than at SC but each judge has wildly different opinions, 3 judges have her 6.50-7.75, while the other 6 have her half in high 7s half in 8s.
29 SC solid technically, lacking performance
32 COR solid technically, greater performance
30 GPF somewhat solid technically, solid performance
You can't say that falls necessarily change the PCS otherwise you would have to say that Carolina should have had lower PCS in the FS) And that is what the criteria says, the judges are supposed to look at how the elements add or take away from the quality, but that one or two falls are not to be penalized in PCS because that's already taken care of in GOE.
SC 61 completely solid technically, good performance ~I thought her PCS for the FS was low though, because I've checked back to last year and skaters for similar performances then are getting over 4 points higher for a good performance and over 6 points higher for a great one. Julia's skating in regards to the components is like night and day to last year. So I feel if Mao gets 71 points, then Julia is at the point where her PCS should have been around 63
COR 64 satisfactory technically because even with mistakes and losing 15 points she was still two points above the next strongest competitor, two falls didn't interrupt the program much, but her performance and interpretation of the music was stronger than at SC. Even if you say her PCS should not have been that high, Carolina received 69 so I feel that the gap was perfectly sound.
GPF 61 Fairly solid technically, but she skated more tentatively and the interpretation was lacking. I still think that if Mao was at 69 then Julia because of CH and IN should have been at 62.
At Europeans her PCS was well deserved because both technically and in terms of components she had the skates of her life, especially in the LP. In the SP 32 was exactly where she should be with that skate but Carolina was underscored and should have been at 35-36 instead. For the LP even though she was incredible I think 65-66 would have been just as good. But ultimately PCS had no bearing on this, its always going to be subjective. This competition was decided by TES, well actually it was decided by BV.
Julia 61
Adelina 59 (even with 3-3 combination)
Carolina 52 (even adding 5 points to what she completed)
Julia 72
Adelina 62
Carolina 52
On PCS they got 68, 69, and 71(which is the PCS Yuna Kim got at 2013 Worlds) respectively. The technical margins mean that even if you just take Julia's PCS down to 60.5, or if you take her's and Adelina's down to 59 the results would have been the exact same. You could even take Julia's down to 51 if Adelina's was put at 58.5 and the results would have been the same.
And for the record, Julia received one 10 for IN and one 9.75 for PE from the Russian judge, as well as a 9.25 from another judge who also gave 9.25 for TR, all the rest ranged from 7.5 to 9.00. Over three-quarters of the marks were 8.75 or lower. Also I thought the highest and lowest were dropped before the remaining seven were averaged, or two random ones. Regardless, if you remove the top two from each category and calculate her PCS, it would only change by a maximum of 1 point overall.
Regarding the FS at the team event, I would have thought that her PCS should have been 65, but if ISU judges who gave Carolina a 71 at Europeans, are giving Julia 69 for a clean performance, then Carolina, Mao and Yuna will be receiving 75+. The judges here are from CAN, JPN, USA, etc. What possible reason could these judges have to give 8's unless they saw that in her skating? She never received any 10s, the highest was a few 9.25s Anyway same as at Europeans if you dropped her PCS two points to 31 from 33.5 for the SP and to 58 from 69.8 for the LP, the results would have been identical. You could also drop her TES by 6 points and her PCS by 6 points and they're still exactly the same. Even if you raise everybody else's PCS by 12 points, she still would have won. No matter which way you look at it the only way this won't be fair is if they don't have Mao, Carolina and Yuna's PCS at 75+ when they skate in the individual event.
This time, I agree with Frank wholeheartedly. 10s are not deserved by this young lady yet.

While Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen prepare to take their SATS, Sony's Columbia Records is spreading around their greatest hits.
The label has reissued 10 CDs originally recorded by the 16-year-old twin moguls -- who first became famous with their childhood roles on the sitcom "Full House" -- when they were aged 6 to 12.
This worldwide deal allows the CDs to reach many foreign territories for the first time, a spokesman for the twins' company, Dualstar Entertainment Group, tells Reuters. The girls also are weighing several other offers from major music labels to produce new music.
Nine of their CDs, including "Brother for Sale" and the really hot "You're Invited to Mary-Kate and Ashley's Sleepover Party," were released on April 1 in North America. A Christmas title is also in the works.
No financial terms were disclosed.
In Mary-Kate and Ashley news, on Saturday they are expected to unveil their spring/summer fashion line via satellite in Wal-Mart's 2,800 stores across America.
The closed-circuit TV fashion show, aimed at dressing toddlers and "'tween" girls ages 6 to 14, is expected to last half an hour, and (letting one secret out of the bag early) the spring line is heavy on pastels, according to Judy Swartz, Dualstar's vice president of fashion.

Celebrating 150 years of the Tube
09 January 2013
Today The National Archives celebrates the 150th anniversary of the first underground railway in the world, examining the history of the London Underground pocket map from our collection of maps held in a Guard Book.
The Guard Book (RAIL 1034/42) contains many bus and Underground maps, including some of the first pocket tube maps from the early 1900s (see the image on the right). As well as containing variations on the diagrammatic tube map layout we see today, the collection also contains themed maps for special events such as the Festival of Britain, documenting a journey through some of the key moments in the 20th century.
The evolution of the pocket map
The collection contains some colourfully designed pocket maps from the 1930s promoting sightseeing and excursions in London, which demonstrated the impact the London Underground had on social mobility.
When the Second World War began, pocket maps returned to a simple diagrammatic layout. However, at the end of the war a special pocket map was designed promoting the Victory Parade in London, with the route of the parade featured as part of the London Underground map.
In the late 1940s and in the 1950s, specially designed pocket maps were published to promote and celebrate major events such as the 1948 London Olympics, the Festival of Britain and The Queen's Coronation and to show where events were taking place.
Click on the image above to view some of these maps, or read about other maps we hold of the London Underground.
