10. Brophy Prep (Ariz.), 6-0
The Broncos continued their surge to open the season and cracked this week's top-10 with victories over Salpointe Catholic and Horizon.

News and Notes
Panthers Up and Running
Palo Verde (Nev.) opened the season with six consecutive victories before a dropping a tight game to Utah power Alta. The Panthers have all the talent to defend their state title.
Palo Verde returns its entire defense from last season, including Johns Hopkins-bound junior Jeremy Huber and Noah Wolthausen (Wagner). Sophomore defenseman Josh Lovejoy has been a consistent force on defense. Long stick midfielder Riley Christensen has established himself as one of the region's best players in that role.
"We have a solid returning core from last years state champion squad," coach Gary Campo said. "Senior goalie Remington Ickes keeps improving everyday and is a solid keeper and tremendous leader."
The Panthers also returned their entire attack, but Alec Grant's switch to middie has been a slow adjustment for the younger attackmen, Campo said. However, Isaac Young continues to be one of the team's most potent scorers.
"I really thought our midfield unit would take a while to gel, as we lost five seniors from last years team, but BYU-bound Cole Bryan has been a rock as has sophomore Chase Bradshaw, who has more than made up for our graduated middies. The glue to our midfield however has been converted All -State attackmen Alec Grant, who is out with a broken foot suffered just last week but will return April 1. This has given some younger players the chance to see some quality time on the field early on such as freshmen Justin Huber and Tanner Prince."
Because Las Vegas has just a small number of teams, Palo Verde have become road warriors to take some of the West Coast's top teams. This is the fifth year the Panthers will play at the Northwest Invitational in Washington.
"We have enjoyed a great deal of success on the field there, but more importantly we have grown as a team each and every year we travel out of state and it has certainly paid dividends for us here in Las Vegas," Campo said. "This year alone we play the state champions from, Idaho, Utah, Washington and Oregon as well as the runners up in Idaho and Oregon. We also have scrimmaged the best teams in Arizona and tournament contests against teams from Canada."
Mountain View Rolling
Mountain View (Idaho) has reeled off six consecutive victories to open the season, including an impressive 9-5 win over Utah power Alta. Coach Alain Rodrigue is widely known in lacrosse circles for his ability to build programs and Mountain View appears to be his latest successful project.
"I have been coaching lacrosse in the Treasure Valley [Lacrosse League] for more than 10 years now at three different programs that I have turned from ashes to success," Rodrigue said. "And this is likely the most balanced and deepest team I have ever had the pleasure to coach. Mountain View has never had any consistency from a coaching standpoint. This is my fourth year working to establish a winning culture. We also have a very talented and motivated team and tremendous support from a great parent board."
The Maverick's strong depth and balance is the result of structured off-season work. To capture a crown in Idaho, Mountain View will have to knock off defending state champion Timberline, which has been the dominant program in the Treasure Valley. To get ready for league play, Rodrigue has put together a tough non-conference schedule against teams from Washington State, Oregon and Utah.
"We matched up well last year with out of state teams and thus far this year, we are off to a great start," He said. "It's always exciting to see how you measure up to programs outside of your conference."

Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of website traffic from natural or organic search results. Having a site that is optimized for search engines is important because search engines drive traffic and help users find what they need.
From late 2011 to early 2013, Web Strategy and Interactive Media completed a two-phase SEO project for the Radford University website. Before we started the project, search engine traffic to Radford.edu represented 4% of total traffic. After we completed the project, search engine traffic represented more than 22% of total traffic!
Web Strategy and Interactive Media offers periodic workshops on SEO and also can provide SEO consultations. To schedule a consultation, contact us for an appointment. To find out when our next SEO workshop is, visit our Training page.

Shopping website Groupon has been on the radar at Website Magazine for quite a while. The service, which is now operational in 18 cities (and they just announced the addition of Nashville) is based on a rather interesting principle - collective buying. Groupon negotiates deals with businesses (merchants). Subscribers to the Groupon service receive daily email alerts. What is unique and fulfills the collective buying principle is that deals are only "activated" if a minimum number of people agree to buy. Should subscribers really want the item/service in question, they are prone to share the "deal" with those in their social network (family and friends) through services like Facebook or Twitter.
While the viral-friendly aspect of Groupon will certainly appeal to merchants, the biggest selling point might just be that it is risk-free. Merchants pay only when the deal is "accepted" by the network, paying nothing to simply appear on Groupon and make an offer to members. Groupon collects money from participants upfront and sends
a check based on campaign participation (the number of members who accepted the offer)."Groupon brings buyers and sellers together in a fun and collaborative way," said Groupon founder Andrew Mason. "We offer the consumer a great deal they can't get anywhere else and deliver the sales directly to the merchant."

Gear Review: Rain Shield O2 Jacket
Good gear need not break the bank. For all the bells, whistles, technical fabrics and wonder widgets outdoor companies are creating these days, sometimes the most practical gear is simple and inexpensive. One bit of gear that we have that truly embodies this idea is our O2 Rain Shield Jacket.
Rain jackets are a hotly debated topic. There are many competing space age materials (Gore, eVent, etc.,) vying for superiority. Unfortunately, a lot of this gear comes with a big price tag. ShowersPass jackets (the alleged gold standard for jackets, though their Storm Pant is a big disappointment) will easily set you back a few hundred dollars. During our trip we'd constantly hear about a "cheap, tyvek-like jacket that works great"! We finally decided to try out the inexpensive O2 Rain Shield Jacket ($25-$30) when we were in the South and getting rained on every afternoon.
The first thing you'll notice about the O2 Rain Shield Jacket is how amazingly light it is! It is easily half the weight of more expensive technical jackets and perhaps even lighter than some "ultra light" jackets on the market. They can be compressed down into a small bag that you can have on you at all times. They've been described as fragile, which sort of implies that they'll disintegrate if you look at them funny. While they are sensitive to tearing, proper mindfulness when folding and unfolding them should help them last for quite a while. We've had ours for about 6 months with regular use and they are still functional but are starting to show some tears. If yours does tear, the universally accepted repair method is tape. Duct tape or clear packing tape for the fashion conscious : )
The jacket comes in two models, with and without a hood. The bike shop where we got ours only had the hooded version. The hood adds some bulk and creates a dilemma when riding (do I fold it under the jacket, wear it under the helmet, etc.,) but extends its usefulness while in camp. The jacket also has a longer tail which covers your behind while crouched over the bike.
As far as controls, the bike has a drawstring cord in the hood and a zipper. That's it. While we are a fan of pit zips for venting, the O2 jacket is so lightweight you can ALMOST get away without pit zips depending on weather conditions. The jacket does feel like Tyvek that has been impregnated with a waterproof breathable layer. In light rain, the jacket is waterproof. In heavier rains, the jacket will saturate a bit but still keep you AS dry as those $$$ jackets while only spending $.
The jacket has no pockets and provides little in the way of warmth on its own, though zipped up it will trap body heat in. If riding in a cold rain, we would wear a wool long sleeve shirt and a thin fleece jacket or sweater beneath it. The added layers will keep your skin off the claminess of the membrane and provide warmth.
The O2 jacket makes a great touring jacket where intermittent rain is expected. It is light enough that it doesn't pose a huge weight penalty and inexpensive enough that you'll be able to eat proper food on said tour. We rode through several months with the jacket and it exceeded our expectations for its price range. The O2 also makes a great commuting jacket where you get occasional rain. It's small and light enough to always have with you. If you live in perpetually wet climates (for example, Portland), where the jacket will get daily heavy use, you'll probably want to look elsewhere.
However, given its remarkably low price, light weight, waterproofness and did we mention the remarkably low price the O2 Rain Shield Jacket is a jacket that every bike tourist should be able to afford!
-tourists on a budget
-touring through intermittent rain
-commuters in intermittent rain
-can tear with heavy use (but repairable with duct tape)

At Studio I, we recognize that maintaining your self-confidence and positive self-image is extremely important to you, as well as to your family.
While your medical team is taking the best possible care of your health, we are here to to help you feel good about yourself. We understand that people who are experiencing hair and/or breast loss due to chemotherapy or mastectomy need a sensitive, caring place to shop for hair and breast prostheses.
Few people fully realize the emotional trauma following a surgery and the side effects of radiation and/or chemotherapy.
Today, women who have undergone breast surgery have many wonderful choices of breast forms, bras, and swimwear. You can choose products that are comfortable, feminine, and stylish — products that resemble your own breast in shape, size, texture, and movement.
It is important to recognize that particular attention must be paid to the bra fit, whether we customize your choice or use one of the many lovely styles available with a pre-made pocket.
Studio I consultants will work closely with you, ensuring that you have the natural silhouette, softness, and security you desire. We will explain the features of each product, so you may understand the importance of anatomically weighted forms, layering, and contouring. Our consultants will make sure that your questions are answered and that your selections fit properly.
Representatives from the leading manufacturers also visit our shop several times each year to share new products and offer you personal fittings.
At Studio I, we work together to provide you with the products, fit, and service that will help you resume your normal lifestyle and feel good about yourself.
— Reflecting Our Concern For You —
Working by appointment is appreciated, but not always necessary. Initial consultations for clients with Mastectomy, Chemotherapy, Radiation, and Alopecia concerns are always free. Every customer receives one-on-one, personalized attention. For this reason we do not offer sales through an internet or catalog service.
As a courtesy to our customers we bill all insurance companies. We are a Medicare Supplier and currently hold contracts with select Indiana Medicaid Plans, Michigan Medicaid, Anthem, & Select Health Network. We actively strive to hold additional contracts.
Post-mastectomy products are covered by Medicare and most insurance companies.
Studio I is proud to announce that we are now an affiliate of the Hello Gorgeous! program. We are the first affiliate in the state of Michigan and are very excited to be a part of this wonderful program! Once a month we will give a head to toe makeover to a women who has been effected by cancer from newly diagnosed to 1 year post treatment. After her hours of pampering we then send her off to her special reveal for friends and family. If you know of a Gorgeous Gal that is in need of this experience please go to the Hello Gorgeous! website at www.GorgeousGals.org to fill out a nomination form. This program is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to make a donation to help fund our Gorgeous Gals!
We would like to thank Moxies, Papa Vinos and Connie Glaske for partnering with us to make this experience a special day for these very deserving Gorgeous! women. We will have photos of our up coming makeovers in the near future.

RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, there's some very unsettling celebrity news. KStew and RPattz, it isn't working. You You remember the problem that they had. These are the two stars of the Twilight series. Have you seen those movies, Rachel? (interruption) You've seen one? (interruption) Well, what happened was that Kristin Stewart is 21 or 22. She went out and she had an affair with the director/producer of some other movie that she was in, and RPattz, Robert Pattinson, was crushed. He was devastated. He was destroyed! He sold the house that they shared together somewhere in the Hollywood Hills and he moved out.
She moved in with her biker mom, and it was heartbreak, folks. It was. Hollywood was turned upside down. I mean, people were distraught. So after some time they put it back together, at least publicly. By the time their latest Dracula movie came out last November, they went out and did their joint red carpet stuff and looked like they were back together, and Hollywood was relieved. Everybody was happy that KStew and RPattz were back together. She forever swore off that director. That director's wife has since divorced him, Liberty Bell or whatever her name was. And now comes this news. It's from Radar Online.
By the way, I looked at Radar Online. I couldn't find anything about economic growth there. There was nothing. There wasn't anything on the Hagel nomination. There was nothing on economic growth on the Radar Online, nothing on the fourth quarter contracting, nothing about gun control or immigration. The lead story at Radar Online is this exclusive, that Kristen Stewart is fuming at Robert Pattinson 'cause he's not being attentive enough. He's neglecting her. He's over in Australia. He's filming a movie.
With the time difference, he's not texting her, not calling her, and she's distraught.
She thinks that he's neglecting her, according to the source here, and she's told him he better check in more often, and that she misses him and she thinks that he's messing around and ignoring her, not paying attention, playing hard-to-get. She's already been through enough. The source here says, "With Robert out the country, a thousand miles away working in Australia, Kristen has been missing him badly. The time difference is 18-and-a-half hours ... so it's proving a difficulty for them to speak to each other regularly and easily."
Hollywood's terribly distressed about this. Very, very upset. Justin Timberlake. Oh, no! You know Justin Timberlake, he married Jessica Biel. That was supposed to be heaven on earth. Hollywood was ecstatic about that (all except for Cameron Diaz is jealous, but she said no). So Timberlake, he went dormant when it comes to singing and putting out albums. He is out doing other stuff. He's doing movies. He's opening southern cooking stores, restaurants, dating Cameron Diaz and other women. He finally settled on Jessica Biel, then went back to the recording studio for his first album in six years: 20/20 Experience. It comes out on March 19th.
He released a premiere single to promote the album. The name of the single, Suit and Tie. It has Jay-Z On it, and it's bombing. Now everybody's wondering why. Is it because Jay-Z's on there or because of the six-year absence or is it because everybody wishes he'd married Cameron Diaz? This is the stuff that low-information voters are consuming today and it's got 'em all in a tizzy, folks. Between the KStew and RPattz now and now Timberlake's single not doing well, the low-information voters are gonna be tuning in tonight, Entertainment Tonight and TMZ to find out if these people put it all back together.
Plus, Sharon Stone! Sharon Stone, who's now 54, was dating a guy 27 and she's broken up. It was Martin Mica. They dated eight months, and according to Radar Online again, where you found nothing about the economy, nothing about gun control, nothing about immigration, but I found this. Sharon Stone said (paraphrased), "No, it's not the age difference. I had no problem with that. I like 27-year-old guys. They got all kinds of energy. I mean, I'm made for 27-year-old guys. The problem is that my bags are philanthropy, politics, and activism and this 27-year-old kid's not into that. All of his energy doesn't do me any good 'cause I'm interesting in philanthropy, politics, and activism."
Sharon Stone and the 27-year-old guy broke it off after the holidays. Sharon Stone too busy with her three sons and her professional life now to carry on a relationship.
This is this stuff that has the low-information voter on edge today.
RUSH: I don't know about you, folks, I just hate to see politics end such a beautiful relationship as Sharon Stone and Martin Mica. I mean, she's 54, he's 27, exactly half of her age. He's got plenty of energy for her, that's what she likes, but not activism and politics and such. Don't you just hate it when politics ends beautiful relationships? I don't know if this guy doing yard work would help, Mike, mowing the lawn, could be, but too late now. It's just a shame. Not too late, maybe RPattz could tell KStew that's what he's doing over there and that's why he can't text her. It might help. Never know.

Taiwan Police Certificate
Posted 13 May 2010 - 04:01 AM
Thank You

Taiwan issues police certificates, although the information is not always comprehensive. Also, legislation is pending in Taiwan that will cause criminal convictions resulting in a penalty of a fine, probation, a suspended sentence, or a sentence of less than two years be deleted from a person's criminal record. Crimes committed by juveniles are not part of the criminal record. Therefore, under the new legislation, a police clearance certificate will not show these convictions. Crimes relevant to visa issuance may be included in those that may not be shown on a person's police clearance certificate. Conversely, convictions, once part of a person's record, remains in the person's record indefinitely. The information reported by the police on police clearance certificates is reliable, but applicants have been able to exclude relevant convictions by specifying specific dates for which the check is to be performed. Information recorded in police clearance certificates comes from a national database of criminal convictions that is updated weekly. If posts suspect that a Taiwan visa applicant is concealing a criminal conviction despite presentation of a clean police clearance certificate, posts should send a completed DS-156 with a photocopy of the bio page of the applicant's passport to the Fraud Prevention Unit at AIT.
Taiwan does not use a standard system for romanizing names, resulting in a wide range of name spellings. However, every Taiwan citizen is assigned a unique national identification number that never changes. Whenever possible, queries should include a person's national identification number. Applicants with Taiwan passports should apply for a police certificate from the police headquarters having jurisdiction over the county or city in which the applicant's household is registered, as recorded in the Household Registration certificate. A third party can assist in this application. Previous residents of Taiwan not holding a Taiwan passport may apply for a police certificate by writing to:
Foreign Affairs Division
Taipei Municipal Police Department
No. 96, Yen Ping South Road
Taipei, Taiwan
Applicants should enclose a completed application form (available from Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Offices (TECRO) or Republic of China Embassies). There is a processing fee of US$11.00). No police certificate is available for previous residents of Taiwan who were dependents of U.S. military personnel and covered by the Status of Forces Agreement or persons living in Taiwan prior to August 1945."

Thanks guys. Just spend about an hour talking to the gent from Tx,. And I think hat is the way to go.......I know my GSD will love it..... now where did I put that spare$8500.....
sent from my A500 Tab
I ave been looking for a sidecar for my 2011 FLTRU since last January. It seems like I am looking for something that just is not out there. I have a few little things I need it to be:
Big enough for my son and my GSD, something that I can take off when I ride solo.......
Am I just asking for too much? I have contacted a company in Texas and they never got back to me. Craigslist is no help at all.....
Or do I need to get a old bike with the sidecar Already attached... haven't found many of them neither
You guys got any input, anything would help at this point.....
I really need to research so forgive my lack of knowledge. Can they go on any bike? Are the cars made to go to a specific bike? Do you need to change/ upgrade breaking?

Where I stayed
Stepping off the plane it was nice to be greeted by blue skies and bright sunshine. On the negative side, we, or at least I, immediately notice that Cusco is 3500meters above sea level. We are both a bit short of breath but it is small price to pay for the most amazing views from any airport I have ever been through.
We get a cab to our hotel, Torres Dorada, 10 mins. from the centre of town. A great place to stay and it is run by a lady called Peggy whose first words are "we want to be like your family and a home away from home". This is one of those rare occasions when you meet someone who is genuinely true to their word and for Peggy and her staff, nothing is too much trouble
I was lulled into a false sense of security upon arrival in Cusco. A bit of shortness of breath upon arrival but nothing too bad. After returning to the hotel after a bite to eat, I start feeling worse and worse and worse. It felt as though my head is about to explode! Obviously it didn't and I feel a bit better the next day.
We spend the next couple of days trying to sort out a language school and a place to stay for the longer term in Cusco Torres Dorada nice though it is too expensive for a longer term stay.
We visit the South American Explorers Club in San Blas, a old area of Cusco, to get some information on accommodation and language schools in town and whilst there, we have a chat with a Dutch guy who has set up Fairplay, a language school out in San Sebastian (one the suburbs of Cusco) whose teachers are all unmarried mothers (apparently not good news in Peruvian society!) who have been trained up in teaching Spanish. The deal is that we pay a proportion of the cost direct to the school and the bulk of the cost direct to our teachers. Learning Spanish is the key to travelling in South America as English is not widely spoken and spending all this time here it only seems polite
We decide on a programme of 4 hours a day (2 hours grammar and 2 hours practical). The grammar lessons are in a classroom with our teacher Camucha, who takes us through the basics and tries desperately to extend our vocabulary. All very intense being in a classroom situation again, but enjoyable nevertheless.
For the practical sessions we have our own teachers, for me Eliana and for Carolyn, Marta. Over the next few days our teachers take us all over Cusco - into the hills outside of town, to the markets and even to the zoo in the university. All the time they are talking to us in Spanish, asking questions, forcing us to put into practice what we have learned in the preceding grammar lessons. Again, it is really intense but great fun and they take us to places we would never have found by ourselves. An added bonus is that they take us on the local transport and give us an intensive lesson in how to stay safe on the very crowded buses and collectivos (where theft is a big, big problem) and what fare to pay/negotiate. Transport is cheap here. 1 sole (35 cents) will take you pretty much anywhere in the city and out to some of the surrounding towns.
One night a week the school runs a cooking lesson in how to cook typical Peruvian food. About 30 teachers and students are packed into a small kitchen at The SA Explorers clubhouse in San Blas for a very nice and cheap (5 soles) meal. It provides us with the opportunity to meet some fellow travellers and some locals. The meal was good too!
By this time we had decided to move from our hotel into El Grial, a smaller cheaper hostal in San Blas, a bit of a bohemian area right in the centre with lots of restaurants (and tourists)
Whilst in the SA Explorers Club one day we meet up with Miquel Jovens who works their part time. Miguel's primary job is to run treks in and around the Sacred Valley and, as we have heard some great reports about his trekking operation, we discuss our options and sort out a trek in the Sacred Valley from Lares to Ollantaytambo.
We were too late in booking permits for the usual Inca Trail to Machu Picchu but are not too bothered as, by all accounts it is very, very busy and we are looking for something a bit more tranquil. Our plan is to stay a night or two in Ollantaytambo and then take a train to Aguas Calientes, the stopping off point for Machu Picchu itself. The next day we buy our train tickets and book our accommodation in Aguas Calientes - all done in Spanish! We were really quite pleased with the results of our week of Spanish lessons!
During our practical Spanish sessions, we go out and about with our teachers Eliana & Marta who take us to the zoo at the University. It was not good to see the massive Condors cooped up in cages with barely enough room to extend their wings or indeed the bears continually swinging swing their heads from side to side, driven mad by their captivity. Why do people do this to animals??
On our last day of lessons, a more enjoyable couple of hours were spent in Molino market where it is possible to by virtually anything. At Miguel's suggestion, we bought some writing supplies and some hair clips to pass out to the children we would meet along the way on our trek. Once our lesson was done we treated the girls to lunch at a Ceviche stall in the market. Raw trout marinated in lime juice, onion and chilli with side dishes of roasted corn and deep fried Calamari. The best fish we had tasted since Tsujuki fish market in Tokyo (which of course will never be bettered!).

Is Raymond Daniels' knockout of Francois Ambang the most spectacular in history?
- From: news.com.au
- May 05, 2014
IT was like something out of a Bruce Lee movie.
Kickboxer Francois Ambang was left splayed out on the floor after copping a vicious, lightning fast 360-spinning back kick to the face from Raymond Daniels in the Glory Super Fight Series in Colorado at the weekend.
Daniels had already knocked Ambang down with a flurry of punches 10 seconds earlier.
And then came the spectacular move that ended the fight 1 minute 47 seconds into the first round.
Check out the ridiculous knockout in the video above

@Brad His body ends up facing in the opposite direction to when it started, that makes this a 180, not a 360

Stacy, I think you're thinking of Barboza vs Terry Etim. Either way, that KO is certainly better than this one.

Can't Beat the Lamb
I enjoyed the most wonderful rack of lamb EVER on Saturday night!
My friend Peggy & I headed off to a late dinner reservation at the Blue Lion restaurant on a whim and had a great time. Ned Brown (Blue Lion owner) was graciously offering a 30% discount off your entire bill as a celebration of his 30th year in business – and the restaurant was ROCKING! It was such fun to dine in a room full of locals all enjoying the delicious food, wonderful wines, gracious service and high spirits brought about by this celebration of early winter. I'd been in earlier in the week for a birthday celebration and had a similar experience – the lamb was just the best EVER!
Thanks Ned for a wonderful time – keep doing what you do ever-so-well and I expect to enjoy 40% off in 2018 for your 40th anniversary!

To spatchcock the chicken, flip it over so the backbone is facing you. Using a sturdy pair of kitchen scissors or poultry scissors, cut down either side of the backbone, then discard. Turn the chicken over and push down firmly on the breastbone to flatten out the bird. Make a few slashes in each leg joint. You can watch a video showing how to spatchcock a chicken in the How To Cook section of the website).
Put the chillies and garlic in a food processor with a good pinch of salt, or use a pestle and mortar. Blend to a paste, then add the paprika, vinegar, parsley and olive oil. Mix well, then smear over the chicken. Leave to marinate for at least 1 hr or overnight if possible. Can be frozen at this stage.
Fire up the barbecue. When the flames have died down, place the chicken on the centre of the barbecue, skin-side down, and cook for 15-20 mins until nicely charred. Flip the chicken over and continue cooking for another 5-15 mins until cooked through. Check that the juices run clear, as the heat of every barbecue will vary. To cook in the oven, heat to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and cook for 35-40 mins on a baking tray. To char the skin, grill for a further 5-10 mins. Serve with lemon wedges, and Tabasco if you like it hot.

I made this for supper tonight, it was a real hit, my partner said I was getting very chefy, all thanks to BBC good food!! I add some coriander to the marinade and grated some lemon zest over the marinated chicken. Served with boiled new potatoes and vegetables. Delicious and fresh. Definitely one to do again.
First time I've spatchcocked and it was easy and cut down massively on the cooking time. I'm not keen on barbeques so was happy to pop it in the oven at 180 and serve it with salad. I was glad I de-seeded the chillies although there was extra chilli sauce with "Pain is good" written on it, added by some!

|Y&R: Scott Hamner Steps Down
|Tweet Topic Started: Jul 25 2012, 12:33 PM (1,931 Views)
|Grandpa Hughes
|Aug 1 2012, 05:44 PM Post #21
"Dedicated to the brotherhood of healing. "
|Hamner was originally hired by LML so that he could write the "Carmen Mesta" murder"mystery" because he did a fair job on a mystery over at Port Charles when they were both over there. That was the storyline he was hired to write and we all remember the suckage back then. For some reason, he was kept on and made the unofficial "spokesperson" for the writers when dealing with the press! I'm glad to see him go. I loved Sheffer's early time at ATWT but he had a LOT of talented backup. Y&R seemed to go steadily downhill when he and my favorite scapegoat Paul Rauch were hired. Then MAB proved she could suck with the best of them. I have VERY mixed feelings about this whole EP/Writer change. I'm happy about the writing part but JFP has proved to be a nut in the past, dressing up as a security guard at one soap function so that she could listen in and then starting a couple of cancellation balls rolling at other beloved soaps. I don't have any more faith in her abilities than I do those of LML or MAB UNLESS she is kept FAR away from the storylines. She will naturally have to make some tough decisions but I just picture her going over the top in "Off with her head" mode. In the EP role, it's akin to having to choose which boat you prefer. The Titanic or The Andrea Doria. They both sank!

Gero Breloer / AP
Efraim Zuroff, chief-Nazi hunter of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and director of the Center's Jerusalem Office, announces on Wednesday the launching of "Operation Last Chance II" during a news conference in Berlin, Germany.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center on Wednesday launched a new race against time to prosecute Nazi war criminals still alive 66 years after the end of World War II.
Efraim Zuroff, the center's top Nazi-hunter, told reporters in Berlin that "Operation Last Chance II" would provide up to 25,000 euros ($32,900) in reward money for information that leads to the investigation and prosecution of war criminals.
"Whatever can be done has to be done very promptly and as quickly as possible because time is running out," Zuroff said, claiming the passage of time does not diminish the guilt of the killers.
The effort comes after German prosecutors said in October that the successful conviction of former Ohio autoworker John Demjanjuk had set a precedent that allowed them to reopen hundreds of dormant investigations.
Demjanjuk, 91, was convicted in May of thousands of counts of accessory to murder after a Munich court found he served as a death camp guard — the first time a suspect had been found guilty without evidence of a specific crime. The court ruled that any guard at a Nazi camp whose sole purpose was to kill people could be convicted of accessory to murder.
John Demjanjuk emerges from a Munich, Germany, court on May 12, 2011, after a judge sentenced him to 5 years in prison for charges related to 28,060 counts of accessory to murder.
Demjanjuk denies having ever served as a guard and is appealing the verdict.
"What this conviction does is set a legal precedent that should pave the way for the prosecution of many people who were on a daily basis over a prolonged period of time involved in mass murder but who had been ignored," Zuroff said.
About 4,000 people were either guards at the four Nazi camps used only for killings — Belzec, Sobibor, Chelmno and Treblinka — or members of the Einsatzgruppen death squads responsible for mass killings, particularly early in the war before the death camps were established.
Zuroff said that he did not know how many were still alive — the youngest would now be in their 80s — but that he guessed conservatively there could be 80 or more.
"I think it's not a gross exaggeration to assume that 2 percent are still probably alive," he said.
Zuroff said a high-ranking living Nazi is in sights but he cannot reveal his name because of an ongoing criminal investigation, the Jerusalem Post reported.
"I am not saying who because he's a flight risk," Zuroff said. "This person was a commander and involved in very serious actions against Jews."
Zuroff also said Klaas Farber, an alleged SS hitman in Holland, was the most senior Nazi known to be alive today. Faber lives in the Bavarian city of Ingolstadt, Germany. He was sentenced in a Dutch court in 1947 was convicted of murdering 22 Jews in the occupied Netherlands during WWII, but he escaped prison in 1952.
Prosecutors in Dortmund also are currently investigating six former members of an SS armored division that was responsible for the largest massacre in Nazi-occupied France under the same theory that led to Demjanjuk's prosecution.
The Wiesenthal Center is asking for tips to a new hotline in Germany. Though the focus of the investigation is Germany, Zuroff said suspects could live anywhere in the world.
A reward of 5,000 euros will be paid for the information upon the indictment of a suspect, another 5,000 euros upon conviction, and a further 100 euros per day spent in prison — up to 150 days — for a total of 25,000 euros, Zuroff said.
The center's original "Operation Last Chance" was launched in 2002 and targeted primarily eastern European countries. It ended up with 102 suspects' names being turned over to prosecutors. Of those, only a handful were ever indicted or tried, Zuroff said.
Zuroff said that at this late stage, with few witnesses left and suspects' health often preventing them from being brought to trial, he measures success in six stages: exposure; official investigation; indictment; trial; conviction; and punishment.
"It's very hard today to get to stage six," he said.
"The answer is very simple," Zuroff said. "One, the passage in time does not diminish guilt of killers. Two, old age does not afford protection to murderers. Three, all the victims deserve efforts to find their killers. Four, it sends an important message to those today that they are being brought to justice."
Former Ohio resident John Demjanjuk is found guilty for his involvement in thousands of deaths at a Nazi death camp during World War II.

Wrong Answer Broke Up (Dropping off the Bane Tour and TIH)
so as you know if you've been paying attention, we've been trying to work on our first full length LP and the truth is that although we have most of it written and we're happy with what we have, we keep running into the same walls with members losing interest, real life priorities, etc etc. Nothing dramatic, just the inevitable shit that happens when you've been a band for nearly eight years with the same core of people. So rather than suck it up to push out something we're not 100% on, or force people to do this band as a chore rather than something they feel passionately about, we have decided to throw in the towel.
There will not be a last show and we'll have to drop off our future engagements. It makes no sense for us to play TIH when there are so many young bands who deserve that slot or other hardworking bands who will do something with it.
It goes without saying that we all feel incredibly lucky to have experienced everything we have through the frame of this band, and that we're also incredibly grateful to everyone who put out our records, filled in for us, booked us, put us up for the night, or just listened and supported us. Almost all of the happiest moments of my life are directly or indirectly tied to this band and none of it would have happened without you.
Our music meant a lot to us and we stand by all of it: the anthology LP "circle of blood" which will collect our 3 EPs will still be coming out on six feet under records this summer. That will be the final document of this band. In the future this space will contain information about that as well as any of our future projects, etc.
Thank you and goodbye,
Your friends,

On Others Judging YouTuesday, February 17, 2015
If you put something online, it's fair game for people to judge it. If you don't want 3,000 people judging your marriage, don't tweet about your fights with your spouse.
At the same time, if you want your work to change the world, you have to put it out there so people can experience it and, yes, judge it.
Not getting judged at all isn't the option. Define your boundaries and then put yourself out there.

'...follow the law or you're no better than the crook.'
Inside the Snitch Tank. After his arrest for the worst mass shooting in Orange County, CA history, Scott Dekraai poured out his feelings to a jailhouse informant. But instead of nailing down a death-penalty conviction against a confessed killer who was arrested with murder weapons in his car, the bugging of Dekraai's cell touched off a legal storm over prosecutorial misconduct and the misuse of jailhouse informants which has delayed justice and drawn national attention. The Orange County Register has set up an extensive website to accompany their ongoing investigation and report.

Alan Dershowitz on the Defense (His Own) by Barry Meier [The New York Times]
Last month, demonstrators at Johns Hopkins University interrupted Alan M. Dershowitz as he was giving a fiery speech defending Israel. The disruption normally would not have fazed Mr. Dershowitz, a former Harvard Law School professor who thrives on controversy and relishes taking on opponents in and out of the courtroom. The protesters, however, were not challenging his Middle East politics. Instead, they held up a sign reading, "You Are Rape Culture." Mr. Dershowitz knew what it meant. A decade ago, he had defended a friend, a money manager named Jeffrey E. Epstein, after authorities in Palm Beach, Fla., found evidence indicating that he was paying underage girls to give him sexual massages. The lawyer led a scorched-earth attack on the girls and, with a team of high-priced lawyers, cut a plea deal for Mr. Epstein that the local police said was too lenient.[more inside]
"I am healthy, and I have a plan to stay that way."
Dallas County district attorney Susan Hawk's life fell apart after she took office: divorce, depression and thoughts of suicide.

Nine weeks later, she re-emerged to announce that she had undergone two months of treatment at a mental health facility for Major Depressive Disorder. She says she's ready once again to serve.

When Eric Wyatt told his public defender that he was mistakenly being thrown back into jail after already serving his time, his public defender cut him off with those eight words.

It would be another week, 110 days in total, before Wyatt would be set free. [more inside]

Thus far, only California has copied Arizona and created an independent redistricting commission. But with the court's blessing, more states are likely to follow suit. These commissions have been hugely successful thus far, a real boost for representative democracy and a cure for the notoriously stubborn problem of gerrymandering. Had Justice Anthony Kennedy swung away from Ginsburg and aligned with his fellow conservatives, America would be facing down a distressingly undemocratic future."

The New Mexico Law Review just published an issue dedicated entirely to Breaking Bad. It features eight articles that analyze the illegal acts committed on the show, their real-world parallels, and the consequences attached:
Given the array of legal issues raised, our editorial board was excited to take the opportunity to present analysis of Breaking Bad by scholars and legal practitioners. In April 2014 we issued a call for papers requesting abstracts on topics including the application of the Fourth Amendment to drug crimes under the New Mexico and/or U.S. Constitutions; the War on Drugs; ethical duties of lawyers; drug-offense sentencing; drug enforcement in rural, urban, and/or Tribal areas; and substance abuse and the law.Some of the greatest legal minds in New Mexico (and the country) came together to examine how Walter White would look to a jury, how the war on drugs affects peripheral citizens like Skyler, and whether Heisenberg could have stayed legit by fighting for his stake in Grey Matter in the courts.

East Bay Lawyer Makes Domestic Abusers Pay
When Tia Katrina Taruc Canlas studied at UC Berkeley School of Law, she learned from one of her professors, Nancy Lemon, that many survivors of domestic abuse aren't told of all their legal options. Lemon insisted that some enterprising young lawyer should use the civil code some day to seek justice for domestic violence victims. The seed was planted.
Today, Canlas, a Berkeley lawyer, has taken her professor's advice to heart, and is employing a surprisingly underused, survivor-based approach to tackle domestic violence — holding batterers financially accountable in court for their actions.

China announces it is scoring its citizens using big data
China rates its own citizens - including online behaviour: "The Chinese government is currently implementing a nationwide electronic system, called the Social Credit System, attributing to each of its 1,3 billion citizens a score for his or her behavior. The system will be based on various criteria, ranging from financial credibility and criminal record to social media behavior. From 2020 onwards each adult citizen should, besides his identity card, have such a credit code." [more inside]

Amanda Knox Acquitted of 2007 Murder by Italy's Highest Court [New York Times]
"ROME — Italy's highest court overturned the murder convictions of Amanda Knox and her Italian former boyfriend on Friday, throwing out all charges and ending a long-running courtroom drama over the killing of a British student in 2007. The ruling in favor of Ms. Knox, a 27-year-old former exchange student from Seattle, and her co-defendant, Raffaele Sollecito, 31, was a shock in Italy, where the convictions had been expected to be upheld in the stabbing death of the British student, Meredith Kercher.Previously.

The Underpolicing of Black America
Ghettoside is "about a very simple idea... Where the criminal justice system fails to respond vigorously to violent injury and death, homicide becomes endemic... The [problem]'s source was not general perversity of mind in the population that suffered.

Captain Justice
Stop calling the DA "the Government!" it hurts her feelings or something. The defense responds..'Should this Court disagree, and feel inclined to let the parties basically pick their own designations and ban words, then the defense has a few additional suggestions....defense counsel does not wish to be referred to as a "lawyer," or a "defense attorney." Those terms are substantially more prejudicial than probative. See Tenn. R. Evid. 403. Rather, counsel for the Citizen Accused should be referred to primarily as the "Defender of the Innocent." This title seems particularly appropriate, because every Citizen Accused is presumed innocent. Alternatively, counsel would also accept the designation "Guardian of the Realm."'

Imagine you've clicked on your computer screen to accept a contract to purchase a good or service—a contract, you only realize later, that's straight out of Kafka. The widget you've bought turns out to be a nightmare. You take to Yelp.com to complain about your experience—but lo, according to the contract you have given up your free speech rights to criticize the product. Let's also say, in a fit of responsibility, (a bit fantastic, I know) you happened to have printed out this contract before you "signed" it, though you certainly hadn't read through the thing, which is written, literally, on a "twenty-seventh grade" reading level. Well, you read it now (perhaps with the help of a friend who's completed the twenty-seventh grade). And you see that there was nothing in the contract limiting your right to free speech at the moment you signed it. That part was added later. Your friend with the twenty-seventh-grade education points to the clause in the contract in which you've granted this vendor-from-hell the right to modify the terms of the contract, unilaterally, at any time into the vast limitless future.[more inside]

In Sentencing Criminals, Is Norway Too Soft? Or Are We Too Harsh?
It's not very often the concept of restorative justice gets much play outside scholarly publications or reformist criminal justice circles, so first, some credit for Max Fisher at The Atlantic for giving it an earnest look last week. In seeking to explain Norway's seemingly measly twenty-one-year sentence for remorseless, mass-murdering white supremacist Anders Breivik—a sentence that is certain to be extended to last the rest of his life—Fisher casts a critical eye on the underlying philosophy that animates that country's sentencing practices, finding it to be "radically different" from what we're used to in the United States.The Effectiveness of Restorative Justice Practices: A Meta-Analysis [more inside]

Injury and the Ethics of Reading
Tie game. Bottom of the 9th. Bases loaded. Two outs. Three balls. Two strikes. And the pitch...
In less than an hour, the Supreme Court will hand down its final judgment in what has become one of the most crucial legal battles of our time: the constitutionality of President Obama's landmark health care reform law. The product of a strict party line vote following a
year century of debate, disinformation, and tense legislative wrangling, the Affordable Care Act would (among other popular reforms) require all Americans to buy insurance coverage by 2014, broadening the risk pool for the benefit of those with pre-existing conditions.
The fate of this "individual mandate," bitterly opposed by Republicans despite its similarity to past plans touted by conservatives (including presidential contender Mitt Romney) is the central question facing the justices today. If the conservative majority takes the dramatic step of striking down the mandate, the law will be toothless, and in danger of wholesale reversal, rendering millions uninsured, dealing a crippling blow to the president's re-election hopes, and possibly endangering the federal regulatory state.
But despite the pessimism of bettors, some believe the Court will demur, wary of damaging its already-fragile reputation with another partisan 5-4 decision. But those who know don't talk, and those who talk don't know. Watch the SCOTUSblog liveblog for updates, Q&A, and analysis as the truth finally comes out shortly after 10 a.m. EST.

United States v. Health Care Reform
This morning marked day two of marathon proceedings in what's likely the most momentous and politically-charged Supreme Court case since Bush v. Gore: the effort to strike down President Obama's landmark health care reform law. While yesterday was a sleepy affair of obscure technical debate, today's hearings targeted the heart of the law -- the individual mandate that requires most Americans to purchase insurance by 2014. With lower courts delivering a split decision before today, administration lawyers held some hope that at least one conservative justice could be persuaded to uphold the provision, which amortizes the risk that makes universal coverage possible. But after a day of deeply skeptical questioning by swing justice Anthony Kennedy and his fellow conservatives [transcript - audio], the mandate looks to be in grave trouble, with CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin going as far as calling the day "a train wreck" for the administration. But it's far from a done deal, with a third day of hearings tomorrow and a final decision not expected until June.

All this brings me to an Indian I want you to know better than his jury did—Douglas Ray Stankewitz, the longest tenured inmate on California's death row. Like most Indians who find themselves in a group of non-Indians, he is currently known as Chief, but unlike many Indians, he is proud of the nickname. The government wants to kill Chief because Theresa Greybeal was shot dead in the course of a robbery by a group of people high on heroin, and there is no question that Chief was one of them. There is a serious question about who pulled the trigger, and juries are reluctant to kill individuals who did not pull the trigger. But as far as his jury knew, Douglas Stankewitz pulled the trigger. And he might have, but we will never know, based on his trial.

After a long era of myths and speculations, Force Motors now had finally came up with its SUV Gurkha. It too was previously present in the market but due to some lacking in product as well as services, the organization was forced to wind up that vehicle.
Newly launched Force Gurkha is based on Mercedes' Glendwagen platform which is powered by the Benz's itself designed 2.6-litre OM616 diesel engine. It does churn out a massive power of 81bhp at 3200rpm and 230 Nm of torque at 1800rpm, as assimilated with 5-speed manual gearbox.
While on the exteriors it tweaks new grille, improved headlamps, roof rails and fresh alloys; complementing to upgraded interiors.
Gurkha is made available in three variants starting at Rs. 6.25 lakh, while complete details are mentioned below in the following list:
Seating Capacity Traction Roof Type Price
6 2WD Soft-Top Rs. 6.25 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi)
6 4WD Soft-Top Rs. 8.35 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi)
5 4WD Hard-Top Rs. 8.5 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi)
As of now, only BS-III compliant is rolled out while the more powerful one BS-IV is expected later on. Mahindra Thar and Bolero are its nearest rivals due to the competitive pricing, as being delivered with optimum quality products.

multiLine 2 is a model range with individual elements: 2 different backrests, 5 different armrests and 3 different legrests can be combined with an electrical, hydraulic or not adjustable chassis and a manual or electromotive adjustment of the lying surface. Hence the lounger can be configured for nearly all areas of application.
fix: not adjustable in height, seat height: 56 cm
hvh: hydraulically adjustable in height from 53 to 87 cm by a lever mounted on both sides. Smooth-running, indestructible and independent of the electricity network!
hve: electrically adjustable in height (53-87 cm) by a wired remote control with a magnetic safety key. The lounger can be equipped with a battery to use it temporarily independent of the network.
The 4 closed double castors have a diameter of 125 mm, which facilitates an easy maneuverability - even in small rooms. The front right castor has a rolling direction adjustment for a good handling e.g. on long floors. In addition the castor is electrically conductive. When operating the foot pedal (for backward inclination) all 4 castors block automatically.
manually: The backrest and legrest are synchronously adjustable to the horizontal by a gas spring. The legrest can be moved separately.
electromotive: The backrest and legrest as well as the height can be adjusted synchronously or separately by a remote control. The magnetic safety key, which remains in the hands of the personnel, avoids unauthorized utilization. The lounger can be equipped with a battery to use it temporarily independent of the network.
The inclination of the lying surface permits a cardiologic bedding and relaxing position in the half lying position (after having loosened the arrester). Furthermore a head low position up to -10° is possible in the flat position. The adjustment from the sitting to the horizontal position can be operated easily and smoothly.
There is a one-part and a two-part backrest. The header of the two-part backrest can be dismounted, prolonged by 20 cm and folded backwards up to 100°. The lounger can also be equipped with an extra head bolster from our accessories program.
3 different armrests and integrated side protecting rails are available: all of them can completely be folded up and down. Please refer to the following double page for more detailed information.
Besides the standard model there is a legrest extendable by 20 cm and a legrest extendable by 20 cm and foldable.
Definite shapes, functional coverings of the mechanic parts and disinfectable surfaces are designed for the hygienically conditions of hospitals.
Our accessories program accounts for all aspects of a possible application area.

Thanks guys!
I don't really understand, why just in a Cayley table. can be different from or
What the proof says is : the condition you have implies that the map is injective and then surjective (because it's an injective map between sets of same finite cardinality) therefore has an antecedant, which is some such that and we're done.

Drake Debuts Song With Aaliyah, May Produce Her Next Posthumous Album
Eleven years after her death in a plane crash, Drake released an official colloboration with Aaliyah on his website and at the OVO Festival in Toronto, Canada.
"Enough Said" features unreleased vocals from the singer, who died at age 22 in 2001.
The recording artist is reportedly expected to executive produce Aaliyah's upcoming posthumous album. According to HipHopDX, details surrounding the project are scarce; however, in March, producer Jeffrey "J. Dub" Walker said an unreleased song titled "Steady Ground" will appear on the project.
Drake is a big fan of the star and even has her name tattooed on his back. She has a lot of fans among the hip hop community. Last year, DMX named his tenth child after Aaliyah on the tenth anniversary of her death.
In 2010, The-Dream remade a song by Aaliyah (One In A Million), insisting he recorded the track because he still "really misses" the star.
The question is, will someone make a hologram of Aaliyah just like they did of Tupac Shakur?

What a relief it was to enter Germany. Scandinavia was so, so ridiculously expensive! Here's my take on it: You want to see Scandinavia? Go to the Canadian praries. Similar architecture (boring), similar landscape (boring) and even similar town names (Bergen ring a bell?). Coming from Poland, prices generally doubled. Even more sometimes.
Germans are awesome. Germany is awesome. People are so friendly and helpful. Food is back to normal price. Bike lanes and inter-city routes are plentiful and well marked. Riding is scenic and generally flat. I love it here! Germany gets a big thumbs up for being cycle friendly.

New day, same old Mario.
On Monday, we here at Set Piece pointed you to a video that featured Mario Balotelli's goofy side as it relates to camera equipment.
On Wednesday, we here at Set Piece are pointing you to a video that features, well, Mario Balotelli's goofy side. And this time, the setting is an amusement park.
The clip, which is the Set Piece viral video of the day, appears above. It's purported to show the Manchester City and Italian international striker enjoying himself on an amusement-park ride during his summer holiday in Ibiza.
See for yourself. That's Mario on the right. We implore you, could a world-famous 22-year-old footballer enjoy himself any more than Balotelli does on a regular basis?
The Sun had the "story" first. How, exactly, they found this footage is beyond us.
Normally, this would not be even the slightest bit newsy. But considering Balotelli's resume, at least one reporter is ready to turn in breathless coverage if he so much as sneezes.
Throw in a dash of trademark Sun sensationalism, and you've got yourself a bona-fide report. To wit:
"He enjoyed the ride so much he had THREE goes costing a total of £120. Concerned Mario even feared a gear on the ride could fail which would lead to almost certain death."
Yes, that must be it, guys. Balotelli really must have been afraid of "almost certain death." There's no chance at all that he could have been joking around, or, you know, exaggerating for effect.
Anyway, now it's back to the thrill ride of Balotelli's day-to-day life as a footballer. We're only slightly less excited.
