Rated 5 out of 5�by mixeddrinks AMAZING BALL but needs pumping This ball hits the floor and does bounce much very good. evenly distributed weight. Also when you do slam it... doesn't sound too hard but it is a very vigorous exercise. The delivery guy was not at all happy when he delivered it... Also you will need to pump air into this ball. Or else it does look a little odd. August 4, 2015

Paul Szabo Mississauga South, ON
Mr. Speaker, the member referred to a number of cases. She referred to the Mayerthorpe case where the four RCMP officers were killed and to a few others. She came to the conclusion that the resolution of the problem was the gun registry.
Just to remind the member, the gun registry still enjoys the support of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police. The latest statistics are that 3,000 hits or checks to the register are made each day to assist officers in the discharge of their responsibilities.
The following is not a trick question, but I think it might identify why the member is maybe a little off on her solution. I wonder if she could just simply tell me how much it costs each year to operate the gun registry.

Joy Smith Kildonan—St. Paul, MB
Mr. Speaker, I know it is proper to thank the member opposite for that kind of comment and question. However, let us be clear. When we have over $1 billion in a gun registry and when we have a shortage of police officers on the street, there is a big problem. There can be a gun registry. There would be nothing wrong with the gun registry if it were monitored properly. A gun registry should not cost in excess of $1 billion. I have a problem with a government that has a gun registry that wastes so much money but will not put police resources on the front lines so police officers could serve our communities.

Marlene Catterall Ottawa West—Nepean, ON
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to congratulate and thank the Indo-Canadian community in Ottawa for its recent fundraiser in support of the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.
Dhadkan, which means heartbeat, is the name given to the community's project to raise funds and awareness, and to encourage volunteering for the Ottawa Heart Institute. This year's dinner was attended by the Minister of Health and the Minister of International Trade, and $1.4 million was raised to support the vital work of the Ottawa Heart Institute.
Congratulations to those from the Indo-Canadian community who sit on the board of the institute's foundation, those who are life patrons because of their generous financial support, and to Dhadkan for another superbly successful event.

Leon Benoit Vegreville—Wainwright, AB
Mr. Speaker, grain farmers are facing some of the toughest times in the past 30 years. Some people say that sounds like a broken record. How can every year be the worst? Others say that if things are that bad, maybe they should quit. That is absurd.
The fact is that farmers are quite willing to deal with weather problems and normal risks, but they cannot be expected to deal with spiralling increases in input costs like fuel, fertilizer and pesticides while they continue to suffer lower prices for their crops due to unfair trade practices in other countries. It is simply not fair and it is not possible.
One trade organization estimates that even marginal progress at the WTO trade talks would increase the price farmers receive for wheat by $1.80 a bushel for example, but the government does nothing to negotiate a fair deal. Furthermore, it refuses to fix the CAIS program to fairly compensate farmers for price reductions caused by unfair trade.
These Liberals have to get the boot before farmers simply cannot keep on operating.
Westfort Internationals
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Ken Boshcoff Thunder Bay—Rainy River, ON
Mr. Speaker, talk about a world series. I am pleased to rise today to congratulate the Westfort Internationals Baseball Club on capturing the Canadian Little League Championship this past June.
Westfort pounded its competitors at the national playoffs with an average win margin of 10.5 runs. It stripped the title from the defending champion, East Nepean Eagles, with an 8 to 0 win. It then went on to represent Canada at the little league championships world series in Maine.
Please join me in congratulating the Westfort Internationals led by coach Bill Oleksuk and assistant coach Danny Oleksuk on their success. A hearty well done to the Westfort Internationals, 2005 Canadian Little League Champions.
Natural Disasters

Francine Lalonde La Pointe-de-l'Île, QC
Mr. Speaker, more than a week after the catastrophic earthquake in South Asia, matters might become worse if the international community does not step up its efforts quickly.
In Pakistan, the country most heavily affected by this, the largest earthquake in its history, a second wave of deaths is feared. The combination of cold weather, disease, isolated villages that are virtually inaccessible and bad weather threatens thousands of survivors.
Despite the logistical nightmare of the rescue and aid operations, the international community must respond to a new appeal for aid launched by the UN. So far only $6 million of the $312 million the UN asked for has been forthcoming.
The Bloc Québécois offers its condolences to the people affected in South Asia, especially in Pakistan. We are deeply troubled by the slowness with which the international community is reacting to a disaster of this scale.
Robert Hulse
Statements By Members
October 18th, 2005 / 2:05 p.m.
Michael Chong Wellington—Halton Hills, ON
Mr. Speaker, Wellington--Halton Hills resident the Reverend Canon Dr. Robert Hulse, Rector Emeritus of St. John the Evangelist Church in Elora, was recently made a member of the Order of Canada.
Canon Hulse became rector of St. John's in the 1960s. Over the last 40 years, he established St. John's Church choir as one of Canada's preeminent choral choirs. In 1972 he established St. John's-Kilmarnock School, a leading Canadian co-educational, independent day school. He was instrumental in establishing the Elora festival and the Elora festival singers. All the while, he continued his very busy ministry as rector of a large and busy parish.
He has given greatly in Elora and beyond in the larger Canadian community to the arts, to education and to charity. His significant contribution to the life of this vast country from a community so small makes his life's work an even greater achievement.
I ask all members in this 38th Parliament to join me in congratulating Reverend Canon Robert Hulse for his contribution to the Dominion of Canada.

Mr. Speaker, the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation of Canada is dedicated, first and foremost, to heightening public awareness about this debilitating neurological disease; second, to increasing funding for research; and third, to promoting greater support for those who suffer from dystonia.
Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder, characterized by involuntary and sustained muscle contractions that twist the body with abnormal movements and postures. It can affect almost any part of the body, from the neck and shoulders, to eyes, jaws, vocal cords, torso and limbs. Despite the fact that dystonia is the third most common movement disorder after Parkinson's and essential tremor, few people are aware of the disease.
Today is the second annual dystonia advocacy day. I invite all members of this House to attend a reception and learn more about dystonia in the Speaker's chambers immediately following tonight's vote.
Co-op Week
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Réal Lapierre Lévis—Bellechasse, QC
Mr. Speaker, this week we are celebrating Co-op Week. My riding was the birthplace of the Desjardins movement. The historical roots of Desjardins in Lévis mean that the people of Lévis and the Chaudière-Appalaches region take a special interest in cooperatives.
In my riding, there are cooperatives in a number of sectors including agriculture, the food industry, cable television, and the hotel, restaurant and service industry. They create many jobs and contribute to the socio-economic development of our communities.
Congratulations to the people involved in the cooperative movement. Thanks to all the volunteers, members and workers involved in promoting the values of the cooperative movement, which include the community taking care of itself, personal and mutual responsibility, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity.
Montreal Children's Hospital
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Denis Paradis Brome—Missisquoi, QC
Mr. Speaker, recently a walk was held in Bedford, organized by little Monika Nelis Dupont's family in order to raise funds for the Montreal Children's Hospital.
I want to congratulate them on this initiative, which was launched last year. I want to commend Mary Nelis, in particular, without whom there would not have been a march. This mother has devoted her life so that her little girl, who is suffering from a degenerative disease, can enjoy a certain quality of life. I salute her tenacity and support her efforts over the past several months to have the government underwrite the cost of Aldurazyme, which is a very expensive treatment.
Her daughter, Monika, aged 6, is suffering from a disorder that causes severe joint problems and organ failure. Despite all the problems caused by this disease, Monika possesses courage and determination that are an example to us all.
I congratulate everyone who took part in this walk. Their participation may make a world of difference to Monika and her friends.
Citizenship and Immigration
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Diane Ablonczy Calgary Nose Hill, AB
Mr. Speaker, Citizenship Week recognizes the value of citizenship and immigration. This would also be the ideal time for the Liberals to keep their broken promises to modernize the Citizenship Act. The current act still allows the government to strip people of citizenship behind closed doors.
The Prime Minister once said publicly that, "you cannot cherry pick rights". However, the reality is that his government refuses to ensure that naturalized Canadian citizens are fully protected by charter rights to an open judicial process. Add to this, delays of over a year to process citizenship applications. One provincial capital has not even had a citizenship judge for two years.
This Liberal government needs to do more than pay shallow lip service to the value of citizenship and immigration. It has consistently failed to deliver good service to new citizens and immigrants, in spite of collecting substantial fees. Citizenship Week would be a good time for real improvement.
Walk against Violence
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Michael John Savage Dartmouth—Cole Harbour, NS
Mr. Speaker, on August 28, 1999 Jason MacCullough, a 19-year-old student from Dartmouth, was murdered. Jason was a well liked young man and was very active in the community.
The events of that evening are deeply troubling. For no apparent reason, Jason was senselessly murdered. It was a random act of violence, an act of violence that resulted in the loss of a life that was just beginning and was full of potential.
Violence affects us all. When it happens to young people, the effect is even more profound.
Some six years later, the community of Dartmouth continues to honour Jason's memory. Tomorrow, Wednesday, October 19, the Dartmouth Boys and Girls Club in conjunction with the Foresters Branch 1250 will be holding the sixth annual Walk Against Violence in support of victims of crime and to raise awareness of issues related to crime in our community.
We hope some day this murder will be resolved and justice will come to those individuals who committed this act. Jason MacCullough will continue to be an inspiration to his family, his friends and his community.
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Nathan Cullen Skeena—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, this past year seems to have been open season on organized labour disputes that are the result of an unwillingness to negotiate, a lack of political leadership, and a system that gives unfair advantages to management.
A Telus lockout in which management ignored labour board rulings went on for more than 90 days and the entire dispute many months longer than that. Currently our news is filled with threats from another Liberal leader in British Columbia to send our labour leaders to jail for standing up against unjust legislation. There are images of management running workers off the road in Brooks, Alberta. In Timmins, Falconbridge is fighting to strip workers of their benefits while signing a $12 billion deal with Inco.
It is time for the government to show some leadership and challenge the growing culture of contempt for labour in this country. Workers' rights have been won through years of difficult negotiation. The benefits help all working Canadians. What has been happening recently points to an Americanization of the system and workers across this country are suffering.
Let us stop moving away from the rights and privileges that have been gained by organized labour in this country and move toward a strong defence of our labour community.

More information: 2010 Earthquake in HaitiAbout the Author: Victor Marsh serves in the Office of the Haiti Special Coordinator at the U.S. Department of State.
In the wake of the devastating January 12, 2010, earthquake, after the emergency life-saving work was done, the government of Haiti and international donors focused on the need for long-term recovery and development planning. They established the Interim Haiti Recovery Commission (IHRC) to do just such planning. The commission does not just represent the Haitian government and international partners, but also includes voting members from Haiti's labor community, business community, local governments, and even the judiciary and non-voting members from local and international non-governmental organizations.
With all the pressure to enact a lightning-fast recovery and reconstruction of Haiti, the commission could easily have focused on speed at the expense of doing things right, doing the hard work of planning a recovery that will build Haiti back better than it was before.
I joined the Office of the Haiti Special Coordinator in September 2010 precisely because it represented a chance to learn about a new, highly-coordinated, and sustainable way of providing assistance, and I wanted to do my part to make that happen. My job in this office is to work on the Department of State's role in the IHRC, so I've had the chance to see this new approach to post-disaster assistance firsthand.
On December 14, I joined Haiti Special Coordinator Tom Adams and the Secretary of State's Counselor Cheryl Mills as they participated in the board of directors meeting for Haiti's recovery commission. At that December 14 board of directors meeting, the staff of the recovery commission made three excellent presentations to the board members, to address the ongoing issues of housing, health, and the removal of debris. The IHRC staff explained their top recommendations for how to solve the most complex problems -- and submitted a refined and very specific set of options for the recovery commission to vote on.
On housing, for example, the IHRC coordinators explained that a Western-style legalistic approach to land reform in Haiti simply does not fit the current situation on the ground. Instead, the IHRC has brought the government, local communities, and donors together to do community-based land tenure research -- sorting out who owns what in the earthquake-affected area using a creative, collaborative, and cost-effective community approach. The recovery commission experts proposed using an approach that provides land owners with the funds they need to rebuild, but under the condition that they provide a fair rental rate to their former tenants, who lost everything in the earthquake. As a student of international relations, I have closely followed reconstruction efforts everywhere from Cambodia to Bosnia. In 2003, I had the opportunity to work for the World Bank-managed trust fund for the postwar reconstruction of Timor-Leste (East Timor).
Seven years later, and half a world away, the IHRC board of directors' inclusivity and its coordinated approach to reconstruction efforts set a new standard for post-disaster collaboration among governments, NGOs, the private sector and donors. In past examples, civil society members may have had representation, but in Haiti, they have much more than that -- they have voices and votes. In the board meetings, especially the December 14 meeting that I attended, Haitian board members and representatives from the Caribbean were by far the most active and vocal and provided the most accurate and invaluable assessment of what was feasible in Haiti, and what simply wasn't. I am honored to participate in the U.S. government effort to support the recovery commission, and to make a contribution to Haiti's reconstruction.
Peter B. in New York writes:
Dear Colleague
I have been a student of the international official relief and development assistance (ORDA) sector for the best par of five decades ... and to put it bluntly, I am appalled by the performance on the ground, and incredible impressed by the way in which the ORDA experts report to the public and donors about the quality of the work they are doing. Professionally I am an accountant, and my expertise is numbers and their relationship with reality ... and in the ORDA world there are huge problems. My hope is that soon there will be some paradigm shift in the area of metrics ... and hopefully our system of True Value Metrics might have a role.

Two Syracuse football players were arrested on Feb. 23 after being caught on camera stealing one of the smallest televisions still in existence, according to court papers obtained by the (Syracuse, N.Y.) Post-Standard.
To be fair, juniors Davon Walls and Markus Pierce-Brewster made off with a total of about $950 worth of electronics, including an Xbox, two iPods and several video games. It's the 19-inch TV that doesn't fit here, though Walls and Pierce-Brewster obviously needed some sort of TV to enjoy the system and games included in their haul.
MANZIEL: A&M star takes out an insurance policy in case of an injury
Not that wise judgment was used at any point in their burglary. According to the court paper, Pierce-Brewster served as the "lookout" while Walls stepped into an unlocked apartment. After Walls reappeared, Pierce-Brewster helped him load the items into a car.
The pair then drove back to their apartment and started unloading the goods. Get ready for some Xbox, friend. On a black-and-white TV, perhaps. (This may or may not be the TV in question:)
Stephen Mally
All of this (all of it) was caught on surveillance video by the Syracuse University Department of Public Safety – the loading, the driving, the unloading, etc. I'm not a lawyer, but it seems as if prosecutors have a strong case against Walls and Pierce-Brewster.
Each was a JUCO transfer who joined Syracuse in 2012. Walls played sparingly at defensive tackle a season ago, appearing in three games, while Pierce-Brewster was fixture in the Orange's rotation at end, making 32 tackle and a sack.

Updated Dec. 29, 8:50 p.m.
University President Lee Bollinger said he opposes a recent boycott of Israeli universities by the American Studies Association in a statement released Friday.
"I reject the ASA's position which would compromise an essential value of universities in an increasingly global society—and we look forward to continuing Columbia's long history of engagement with our peers from Israel," Bollinger said in a statement.
Barnard President Deborah Spar released a similar statement Sunday, which said she stood in "strong opposition to a boycott of Israeli academic institutions."
"All scholars have the right to speak out against issues or policies with which they disagree, but academic boycotts pose a threat to the intellectual exchange and open debate that sit at the very core of our educational mission," Spar said.
Bollinger added that he has made his opposition to such boycotts "emphatically clear over the years," citing a letter he authored in 2007, which was signed by 400 other academics, in opposition to the British University and College Union's call to boycott Israeli universities.
"To be sure, it is entirely appropriate for our campuses to provide a forum for discussion and debate about the policies of any government, including our own," Bollinger said. "But the ASA's vote runs counter to this essential academic and political freedom and, taken to its logical conclusion, would necessarily result in boycotts of fellow scholars and peer institutions from many nations around the world."
The American Studies Association, an academic organization focusing on scholars of American culture and history, called for a boycott during a Dec. 15 annual meeting to protest "the illegal occupation of Palestine, the infringements of the right to education of Palestinian students, and the academic freedom of Palestinian scholars and students in the West Bank, Gaza, and Israel," according to the organization's website.
Sixty-six percent of the 1,252 members participating in the election voted to endorse the boycott, while 31 percent voted against and 3 percent abstained.
As of Sunday, a change.org petition urging ASA members to support the boycott had garnered 615 signatures. Columbia has a number of professors that are members of ASA—though it's unclear how many support the organization's boycott.
A Nov. 15 letter penned by non-ASA American Studies academics opposing the then-proposed resolution was signed by several Columbia professors, including Acting Director of American Studies Casey N. Blake.
An academic boycott of Israeli universities is not new. The Association for Asian American Studies adopted a boycott in April, and the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association also announced its support for a boycott after the ASA resolution on Dec. 15.
Bollinger's statement follows other university presidents who have denounced the action.
A New York Times article published Thursday quoted Harvard University President Drew Gilpin Faust, who said, "Academic boycotts subvert the academic freedoms and values necessary to the free flow of ideas, which is the lifeblood of the worldwide community of scholars."
The article also quoted Wesleyan University President Michael S. Roth as saying that declaring "institutions off limits because of their national affiliations" is an affront to academic freedom.
Brandeis University and Pennsylvania State University, Harrisburg, dropped their memberships from the association earlier this month.
Seffi Kogen, GS/JTS '14 and outgoing president of Columbia/Barnard Hillel, said he supports Bollinger's opposition.
He said that the boycott is "absurd, especially when one takes into account the fact that the strongest critics of problematic Israeli policies are often precisely those scholars the ASA's resolution seeks to censure."
In the past, activism from Hillel, Students for Justice in Palestine, and LionPAC and calls for divestment from Israel have led to heated debates on campus.
SJP did not respond to requests for comment by press time.
Check back for updates.
Samantha Cooney contributed reporting.
firstname.lastname@example.com | @ChristiZhang
Correction: An earlier version of this article stated that as of Friday, 612 of ASA's approximately 5000 members had signed a change.org petition. Those 612 signatures actually included non-ASA members as well. During the ASA's election, 66 percent of members present supported the boycott. Spectator regrets the error.

It was a fabulous day at the Leesburg Canine Country Club on Saturday! After a rainy week, the sun came out and so did the setters. On September 24, forty-five ACES adopters attended our 2011 Reunion in Virginia with thirty of their dogs...thank you all for coming! We spent the day watching the setters run, watching the setters run, and well, watching the setters run. It was great to have the fenced-in dog park devoted just to our setters (and their siblings). The dogs had plenty of room to point birds, stalk the bugs in the grass, and play chase with their new-found friends. While our setters were having fun, the people had a chance to meet fellow adopters, reunite with old friends, and share adoption tales. Janice and Jess got to catch up with former fosters Linus and Pixie, and the Broadfoot, Sodegren and Newhall families who met through home visits had a chance to get their dogs together. We loved that so many senior setters joined in the fun. We expected to see the younger crowd running full steam ahead, but what joy to see the older set keeping up with them!
In addition to thanking everyone who attended the Reunion (you really made our day), the ACES Board would like to thank everyone who donated to our Reunion raffle, both organizations and individuals, and everyone who lent a helping hand on Saturday. Our event would not have been the success it was without you. A big setter "Roooo!" to our grand prize raffle winners:

Stuart Buck praises Barker Bausell's Too Simple to Fail: A Case for Educational Change, which argues that "the only thing that improves education is spending more time on instruction at a given child's level."
Bausell suggests adding pre-K (using direct instruction) BS lengthening the school day and year. Schools would focus on relevant instruction, eliminating time wasters such as "candy sales, worthless school assemblies, loudspeaker announcements, sports activities, ad nauseam." Disruptive students would be removed from class. ("If this means that we have to leave certain children behind because they can't meet behavioral expectations (or we don't know how to enable them to conform), so be it.")
In addition, Buck summarizes:
The entire curriculum should be exhaustive and detailed, and computerized tests should be based exclusively on the curriculum.
. . . Teacher behavior should be "monitored constantly to ensure the delivery of sufficient instruction, as well as satisfactory coverage of (and minimal departures from) the established curriculum."
. . . Use efficient instructional methods. Bausell points to an example of inefficiency: "My son once had a teacher who had an elaborate class project involving building a medieval castle out of popsicle sticks that stretched over a period of several months. Regardless of what the teacher thought she was accomplishing, this is valuable time wasted . . . '"
Finally, recruit volunteer tutors who can help students practice reading sight words or learn math with flash cards.
Most teachers are supposed to "differentiate instruction" for children with a wide range of learning needs. Some students are way ahead, some on track, some way behind. Some speak English fluently; some don't. A few students have disabilities. Others are behavior problems. If teachers had more time, no distractions and groups of children working at the same level . . . Teachers, what do you think?

After a successful driving debut at last month's Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK, kiwi carmaker Hulme Supercars has announced it will be taking orders and pushing ahead with production of its Hulme F1.
The Hulme CanAm was one of only 55 invited supercars on display at the prestigious event held on the country estate of Lord March. Paul Radisich, double World Touring Car Champion, drove it up the famous Goodwood Hill in front of thousands of spectators.
After receiving interest from potential customers and experts in the Supercar industry, the decision was made to build the Hulme F1 – the hard top concept first displayed at Goodwood back in 2006.
Hulme Supercars is looking to get the car classed as a limited-production vehicle in Europe which means the supercar could be sold freely across the continent. Continue reading "Hulme Supercars sending F1 concept into limited production" »

Would Zayn Malik wear platforms to make himself taller?
Aside from the fact he doesn't feel overly confident about the ol' dance moves, Zayn Malik always struck us as the type of person who would love every last inch of himself. We mean, COME OOONNN:
Unfortunately though the One Direction hottie's issue lies within the fact that he wants more inches to love.... you're thinking about his willy right now aren't you?
"I'd like to be a bit taller," he told Top of the Pops magazine, while using a ladder to climb onto his stool.
OK Maliko, we hear ya, you want to be taller. So what the heck are you going to do about it? Please say "I'd wear platform boots." Please.
"I'd never wear platform boots – I think they're embarrassing, but I'd actually like to be about 1.8m tall."
1) Booo. Platform boots on Zaynerello would be frickin' hilarious.
2) For those of you wanting to know how tall 1.8m is, it's 5'10". We have no idea where he got this metres thing from.
3) And one last thing, here's Zayn how we'll never see him. So sad.
Zayn Malik, your T shirt is WRONG
Zayn Malik's quiff has got WELL BIG.

Is 2015 shaping up to be the year of�John Stamos? The�Full House�actor could be a very busy man next year�after�booking�twonew�TV�gigs,�Deadline.com�reports.
Stamos will headline the ABC midseason series�Members Only�(previously known as�The Club), an upstairs/downstairs drama set at a fancy Connecticut country club. He'll play the billionaire husband to Natalie Zea's Mickey, a powerful member of the family who owns the club. ABC ordered the show, from�Party of Five�writer Susannah Grant, straight to series in February.
'90s shows that need to make a comeback
Additionally, Stamos has signed on to star and direct�a comedy project�about�a ladies' man who discovers that he has a grown son who is nothing like him. The potential series, which is�being developed by ABC Studios, would be executive-produced by Dan Fogelman�(The Neighbors)�and Danny Chun.�Stamos recently shot a guest-starring role on Fogelman's upcoming�fairy-tale musical series�Galavant, which will also premiere midseason on ABC.
Stamos has a long history with ABC stemming back to the short-lived sitcom�Jake in Progress, the short-lived drama�Thieves, and the beloved family comedy�Full House. News broke late last month�that Warner Bros. TV�is�considering a reboot of�Full House. Stamos, who�has�an ownership stake in the show, has already stated�that�he would be involved.

South Africa began their African Nations Cup campaign in disappointing fashion as Cape Verde Islands came closest to scoring at Soccer City in Johannesburg.
- Related Content
The hosts were disappointing against a side who had defeated Cameroon 3-2 on aggregate to reach the finals.
Luis Platini had the best chance of the first half of the Group A encounter for the Blue Sharks, who then saw Helton denied after the break by South Africa goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune.
Ryan Mendes had the first shot of the game but the Cape Verde striker fired wide from 20 yards.
Cape Verde goalkeeper Josimar Vozinha then made hard work of a free-kick from Siphiwe Tshabalala.
Platini shot wide when well placed as Cape Verde continued to look for the opening.
Kagisho Dikgacoi was then penalised for a foul on Platini but Ramos Nhuck fired the free-kick over.
Elvis Babanco saw his shot go wide as Cape Verde continued to try their luck, Platini also missing and Dikgacoi off target as chances came at each end.
Cape Verde were awarded a free-kick but Babanco shot straight at keeper Khune, Mendes then shooting wide from close range.
South Africa's Lerato Chabangu came on for Dikgacoi at half-time and was in the action inside five minutes but shot over from close range.
Cape Verde went close with 18 minutes to go as Helton headed Babanco's cross towards goal but Khune got down low to his left to scramble the ball round the post.
In a rare South Africa attack Thulani Serero failed to control the ball with five minutes to go after being put in behind the Cape Verde defence.
South Africa's best chance came in injury time from a Lerato Chabangu corner to the near post - but captain Bongani Khumalo put his free header well over.

Online Pawn: a Booming Business Luring Upscale Customers
DENVER ( TheStreet) -- Pawn shops are moving from the seedy side of town and going online to compete with the likes of Amazon (AMZN) and eBay (EBAY) .
Just as Amazon and eBay pioneered online shopping and are now the biggest players, online pawn shops are jockeying for position, hoping to get the largest slice of the pie. The pawn industry as a whole has swelled to $7 billion, helped by the combination of a stagnant economy and reality TV shows such as the History Channel's Pawn Stars , which popularized pawning.
And nowhere is it growing faster than online. Online pawn shops are aspiring to go upscale. They cater to the so-called luxury pawn market whose customers often can put up collateral -- sometimes to the tune of $1 million.
Online pawn shops are attracting middle- to upper-class individuals (or small-business owners) who may have run into short-term liquidity problems and are looking to pawn or sell their luxury goods. Many have never stepped foot into a brick-and-mortar store.
The process is seemingly easy and can be done in the privacy of one's own home. In some cases, customers can have their money within 24 hours after the initial estimate is made.
Here's how it works: Customers fill out a form describing the item they wish to pawn. The online pawn shop then sends the customer an initial estimate and a pre-paid shipping label to mail in the item, which is insured. Once the item is more fully appraised, customers receive a final offer. The money is either wired to a customer's bank account or sent to the customer via a pre-paid debit card.
Pawngo was reputedly the first online pawn website, launched in June 2011 by a veteran brick-and-mortar pawn shop guy and backed by the same venture capital fund that got Groupon (GRPN) off the ground. The company offers loans from $500 to $1 million based on the value of high-end luxury collateral, such as jewelry, fine watches, precious metals and gemstones, high-end cameras and equipment, and Apple (AAPL) products and collectibles, among other things.
Interest rates on loans range on average from 3% to 6% for a three- to six-month loan, compared with as much as 25% at local pawn shops, the company says.
There's a "huge demand" for online pawning services, Pawngo CEO Todd Hills says.
"Pawning is literally the most ancient form of lending. All we've done is taken a financial service that has worked for thousands of years and brought it completely online," Hills says. "The innovation is grounded within bringing a successful business model up to speed with our technology-driven society."
>>>Online Pawn Shop Becomes Short-Term Option
As the debate over the fiscal cliff atrophies, Pawngo is preparing for an even bigger increase in business.

There is a place in Edinburgh (Pegasus), that offers a karaoke hire package for 50 quid.
You get a karaoke disc player, disks, 2 mics and the appropriate cables. I imagine that we could hook these up to the projector and sound desk. The disc player and discs can be hired separately, but that comes to bullseye too.
You get about 500 songs on the discs, and they can't all be awful.
Is this a good price?

"You want to make sure with a race in which you'll be flying home with other drivers that you don't crash into them. It's happened before, and it can make for a little bit of a tense situation."
Can NetJets Europe defy the doubters?
Fractional aircraft ownership is a great American entrepreneurial idea that arguably hasn't traveled well. Fifteen years after its main proponent, NetJets, brought the concept to Europe, that company remains the only one to have achieved any lasting traction in the international markets that supposedly have a massive appetite for business aviation.
It took more than 10 years for NetJets Europe to record even a modest profit, which, to its credit, it maintained even in 2010–a veritable annus horribilis for the continent's business aviation industry. Nonetheless, the company has outlasted several challengers and now claims some 1,600 clients and a fleet of just over 150 aircraft.
The question today is whether NetJets–or anyone–can get the fractional seed to germinate in the key emerging markets farther east, which supposedly offer fertile ground for private aviation. The tenacity of NetJets in Europe gives some grounds for believing that the company might yet pull it off. Certainly its main backer, Warren Buffett, still appears to be a believer.
Faltering demand and tough competition from an increasingly vibrant executive charter sector have forced NetJets Europe to offer a more varied mix of fractional-share and block-charter card options. Demand for charter in Europe today is still significantly exceeded by the supply of aircraft available for hire. Charter clients have probably never had a better choice of aircraft and at extremely competitive rates, making it that much harder for NetJets to convince them to make a long-term commitment when it can seem so attractive to shop around.
On the fractional side of the equation, clients can now start out with a mere 1/32nd share in an aircraft for as little as $125,000, giving them 25 flight hours per year. On top of this, they pay management and flight costs that collectively run €4,000 to €10,000 (about $5,600 to $14,000) per occupied flight hour, depending on the aircraft type. Shares are priced in U.S. dollars, but operating costs, which are generally quite a bit higher in Europe than in the U.S., are billed in euros.
NetJets also now markets shares in preowned aircraft–quite a turnaround from the days when it made a great point about how it offered only the newest jets. This move is grounded in making a virtue of a necessity, with older aircraft harder to sell on the open market. Nonetheless, it provides clients with a more affordable entry point to the fractional world.
Light and midsized jets now typically remain in the fleet for eight years and the average age for these is nearly six years. Larger aircraft are being retained for 10 to 12 years. In both cases, NetJets says, it invests in refreshing cabin interiors. And new aircraft are on their way, including a batch of Embraer Phenom 300 lights jets, as well as Bombardier Global 5000s and 6000s.
With its charter card offerings, access to light jets such as the Hawker 400 and the Cessna Citation Bravo starts at €143,000 ($188,400) for 25 hours. For the burgeoning Russian market, NetJets Europe introduced a split card option through which customers can have 15 hours per year on a Dassault Falcon 2000 and 15 hours on a Hawker 800. Another new take on the concept was the 10-hour card that it launched for holders of the American Express Centurion card.
Winning business is one thing; retaining it can be quite another. European critics of NetJets–mainly the charter operators and brokers–claim to be adding many of its former fractional owners to their client lists. According to such critics, these customers are eager to escape from excessively restrictive contracts and dwindling aircraft asset values.
NetJets Europe won't reveal its client renewal rates, but sales director Emily Williams said that "we now have a dedicated team focused on retaining customers and we also have a dedicated commercial team to help customers look at the different options. Overall, we're fairly happy with our renewal rates."
One reason customers don't renew fractional shares–or don't buy them in the first place–is the fear that values will tumble. NetJets claims that until 2008 light jets were typically depreciating 5 to 7 percent annually, while larger aircraft were holding their values. But the company concedes that customers ending standard five-year contracts are now generally selling shares for 50 percent of their prior value.
"But you still have complete liquidity," Williams argued. "Even if worse comes to worst, you can sell your share and in 90 days get your money back." But, to be clear, the money the owner gets back in this scenario is the "fair market value" assessed at that time by NetJets and in current market conditions that certainly means taking a hit on the depleted asset value, with preowned-aircraft values still soft.
Customers now include first-class frequent flyers with German airline Lufthansa. NetJets Europe is once again providing lift for the carrier's Lufthansa Private Jets service through which clients can book flights as if they were scheduled services with regular tickets and billing.
NetJets has been proactive in taking innovative steps to ensure a smooth passage for its clients through some of Europe's worst aviation bottlenecks. In London, it controversially established a long-term lease to have preferential use of the Northolt Royal Air Force base, which had largely been a gateway for the exclusive use of Britain's Royal Family and senior politicians. On the French Riviera, it secured landing and takeoff slots at Nice-Cote d'Azur Airport to allow its passengers to beat the unseemly dash to the prime Mediterranean resorts. And in Germany, it got so impatient with delays at Frankfurt Airport that it simply bought the nearby Egelsbach Airport to keep it open as an option.
NetJets Europe has been tapping expansion of business aviation demand in Russia and its program also now extends into North Africa and Lebanon. Close by, it still has an interest in the Middle East franchise, which is based in Saudi Arabia and run through a joint venture with a local company called National Air Services, offering a fleet of Hawker 750s and 800XPs, Dassault Falcon 2000/2000EXs and Gulfstream G450s/GIV-SPs. Meanwhile, NetJets Europe itself–headquartered in London and with an operating base in Portugal–has a "ventures unit" looking into establishing a more permanent presence in Russia and India. Separately, the NetJets team in the U.S. is probing prospects for fractional ownership in China, almost certainly via a bridgehead in Hong Kong that could be established within 12 to 24 months.
NetJets Is a Transatlantic Bridge
One benefit of being a NetJets client is the ability to use its fleets on either side of the Atlantic through its interchangeability program. As with currency markets, an exchange rate applies. Costs in the U.S. fractional program are markedly less than those in its European cousin and so an occupied hour costs more–on a sliding scale–in a NetJets Europe jet than it does in a U.S. aircraft.
NetJets has adjusted to shifting levels of demand in Europe and the U.S. by temporarily transferring aircraft (usually American jets heading East) to the other continent to provide additional capacity. To avoid breaches of market access rules, the aircraft in question are temporarily transferred to the NetJets Europe aircraft operators certificate. This is legally significant because fractional ownership in Europe has to operate under full commercial air-transport rules, whereas in the U.S. it benefits from the special private aviation rules outlined in the Federal Aviation Administration's Part 91 Subpart K code.
As you are all aware, NetJets Europe has over the last few years faced unprecedented market conditions.
The prolonged downturn in the economy has led to a fall in demand generally for business aviation. In the circumstances, we have had to look at whatever steps we can take to control and reduce our own costs to safeguard the competitiveness of our business.
We have already implemented a comprehensive set of measures to reduce and control costs. Both the Voluntary Options and the more recent Voluntary Separation programme sought to minimise impact on pilots as far as possible and were initiated in good faith to avoid having to terminate employment on the grounds of redundancy, in the hope that in due course the economy would pick up.
As the Voluntary Options programme comes to an end within the next 15 months and following the final swap of most crew members to their job share year on, we have had to look again at the number of pilots we employ and compare this with anticipated demand.
Last year, when we launched the Voluntary Separation programme, we informed you that our forecasts indicated that at the end of the Voluntary Options programme, the probability was that we would still have too many pilots when compared with likely flight demand. The Voluntary Separation programme was therefore intended to help address this. Although the offer of voluntary separation was taken up by 152 employees, unfortunately, in the light of continued lower flight demand, this was not sufficient to address the issue of over-capacity of pilots. We expect that trading conditions across Europe will remain fragile and, based on our current forecasts, we do not expect to see a return to the levels of demand that would require our present crewing levels for several years. In the circumstances, it is critical for the future of the business that we take steps now to address this issue.
Currently, we employ 780 pilots of whom 529 are pilots-in-command (PICs) and 251 are seconds-in-command (SICs). Our assessment is that, whilst we do not have any excess of SICs (and they are not therefore affected by this proposal), we need to reduce the total number of PICs by 128.
In addressing this matter, we have to take account of another issue facing the business which is a significant change in European social security regulations. As you are aware from previous communications, the current position is that under EU law the UK system of social security contributions applies to crew employed by NetJets Management Limited (NJML). However, a new European regulation that has come into force now affects the social security regime applicable to crew based upon the country in which their gateway is located. We estimate that based on current crew levels and social security rates, these changes will cost the business an additional €6.3m per year in employer contributions.
In light of the position outlined above, we have formulated proposals to address the issues we face as a business. Unfortunately these proposals would involve job losses. These proposals are subject to consultation with employee representatives to be elected by the affected employees.
Our proposal is to reduce the number of PICs employed by NJML from 529 to 401, i.e. a reduction of 128.
If possible, we would like to avoid the need to make any compulsory redundancies. We therefore propose to offer voluntary redundancy to PICs with gateways in the six countries with the highest employer social security rates. These are listed below in descending order (i.e. of the six countries France has the highest rate and Hungary the lowest):
Country Number of PICs with gateways in that country as at 5 October 2012
France 105*
Belgium 61
Czech Republic 2
Sweden 9
Italy 10
Hungary 1
* PICs with Basel and Geneva gateways have been included in the total number of PICs with gateways in France and will be given the opportunity to opt for voluntary redundancy. Further clarification is required from the authorities regarding the treatment for social security purposes of PICs with these gateways before we can confirm whether or not such PICs would be included in any compulsory redundancy exercise.
PICs with gateways in these countries will under the proposal have the option to leave with a one-off compensation payment equivalent to 15 months' base salary (less applicable tax and social security payments) regardless of seniority. This sum will include any individual notice pay and redundancy payment entitlements but, clearly, will be well in excess of the value of those entitlements.
If the necessary reduction in the number of PICs cannot be achieved through voluntary redundancy, then the proposal is to select PICs for compulsory redundancy based first on the employer social security rates of their gateway country and secondly, where employees have gateways in the same country, by reference to their salary costs. It is proposed that PICs who are made compulsorily redundant would receive their contractual notice and a redundancy payment calculated in accordance with UK law but not any enhanced severance package.
In addition to the proposals outlined above, we have decided that, while gateways in the following countries will remain open for PICs and SICs already operating from those gateways, they will be closed to new moves:
France Belgium
Czech Republic Sweden
Italy Hungary
Finland Norway
A revised gateway policy reflecting these changes will be circulated to all crew members today and comes into force with immediate effect.
From today all permanent gateway moves will be suspended for the duration of the consultation period.
Consultation and Election of Employee Representatives
As stated above, these proposals are subject to consultation with employee representatives to be elected by PICs with gateways in France, Belgium, Czech Republic, Sweden, Italy and Hungary.
Details of the main functions of these representatives can be found at: http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/detail?itemId=1074477056&typ....
The company therefore invites PICs to elect:
• two representatives for PICs with gateways in France (the France Constituency);
• two representatives for PICs with gateways in Belgium (the Belgium Constituency); and
• two representatives for PICs with gateways in Czech Republic, Sweden, Italy and Hungary (the Third Constituency).
As a PIC with a gateway in one of the relevant countries, you are entitled to nominate an individual for election as an employee representative. You may nominate yourself or any other PIC with a gateway in the same constituency as yourself. For example, PICs with gateways in France can only nominate themselves or any other PIC with a gateway in France. PICs in the Czech Republic may nominate themselves or any other PIC with a gateway in the Czech Republic, Sweden, Italy or Hungary.
Your nominee must be an employee of NJML. Please also check that your nominee is willing to stand as a candidate for election.
Employee representatives will serve until the end of the consultation process which is anticipated to last until 31 January 2013. It is anticipated that the first meeting with employee representatives will take place on 31 October 2012 and that subsequent meetings may take place at regular intervals thereafter.
If you wish to nominate yourself or someone else for election, please complete the nomination form (at the end of this email and attached) and return it to Carla Pombeiro by e-mail at email@example.com by 12pm Lisbon time on 12 October 2012. In the case of a nomination of a colleague, your form must be accompanied by an email from the nominee agreeing to stand for election. Nomination forms received after this date will not be considered.
If more nominations are received than the number of vacancies, then a secret ballot will be arranged to elect employee representatives. Each PIC in a constituency will be entitled to two votes. The ballot will be conducted by Electoral Reform Services (an independent body) in order to ensure fairness, accuracy and confidentiality.
If you have any questions in relation to the proposals set out above or the consultation process, please send them by email to firstname.lastname@example.com. I have also attached answers to some FAQs for your information.
I appreciate that the announcement of these proposals is likely to cause significant concern and great uncertainty. As soon as the representatives have been elected we will commence detailed consultation with them and in addition we will keep you informed of developments throughout the consultation process. In the meantime, I would ask you to continue to focus on delivering to our customers the highest standards of safety and service.

Caramel Apple
This outfit reminds me of a caramel apple. These colors are so rich and yummy. I was compelled to eat an apple because I just couldn't stop thinking about it. Lame, but true. Thank God, there are no caramels near by because I'm afraid I would eat them all.
Shirt: Anthropologie
Sweater: Asos
Jeans: Rich and Skinny
Boots: Aldo
Sunglasses: Chloe
Scarf: Nordstrom
Bag: Paul and Joe Sister
Peacoat: This coat is SO old. It's fleece with great plaid lining. It's warm and yummy and from...wait for it...Delias!

Also love the scarf and sweater combo. Prints. Yay.
P.S. Wait, first marriage? I totally did an :o when I read that. L-O-L.

Not many women will proudly say they look like an apple, but I'm going to agree with you here! You must be the 'apple' of your hubby's eye (cue groaning) in this great outfit. To me this outfit is like a grown-up version of back-to-school - stripes, primary colour, and denim with pretty adult details like camel shoes.
BTW, every time I walk to work and the wind whooshes onto a bit of exposed skin between my coat cuff and my mittens, I want your wrist warmer things.

Posted on 03/23/2006 10:59:34 AM PST by seacapn
HORN LAKE, Miss. An unidentified elderly Horn Lake couple were hospitalized Thursday after police burst into their home thinking it housed a methamphetamine laboratory.
The incident occurred Wednesday about 4 a.m., said police Capt. Shannon Beshears. Beshears said it was the right address but the wrong house.
Beshears said a heavily armed Tactical Apprehension Containment Team stormed the house.
"We had good information from a reliable source that had been backed up by a purchase of narcotics linked to the address. However, when we arrived at the designated address, there were two houses on the lot. We hit the larger of the two houses.
"It was the wrong house," Beshears said. "The house was totally dark and the TACT members went through to the bedroom looking for the suspects."
A man and a woman both in their 80s were injured as TACT team members secured the house although no drugs were found. There were children in the house also, but they were not awakened, Beshears said.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Totally uncalled for hurting those people like that. At 4am I can't believe either one of them, especially the woman, would need to be hurt. I don't care how much adrenaline is there, that is ridiculous.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
Those criminals need to be arrested and charged with multiple felonies.
Dumb. I'm for the cops most of the time but this one not only freaked out the old folks but pooched the bust as well. Whatever police work went into identifying the bad guys went out the window because somebody decided to flip a coin.
Response Of The Day nominee right there.
Well, kind of reliable ....
Clear that this is more JBT action. Anybody you see, take 'em down as hard as you possibly can, one on each arm just to let 'em know who's boss.
I'll bet it's just about impossible to fall down flat on your face and get a "dislocated shoulder" or "bruised ribs". Most of the time when I hear of that kind of injury it's a car accident or falling off a roof.
The idea of calling HQ for clarification never crossed this dimwit's puny mind?
"if you are going to raid a house, or a building, but it's not exactly clear which is the right building to raid, what is the usual procedure?
Apparently, you raid the larger house or building. Perfectly logical, eh?
He said he believes his officers acted correctly and followed procedures when they entered the first home. "Obviously, a mistake was made and it was regrettable," he said. "But, I stand by my officers. I think they acted properly."
Wouldn't it be a shame if a bunch of armed thugs broke into this JBTs house, and sent him to the hospital?
Why are SWAT teams crashing into peoples homes?
The fault lies with one officer. The one who petitioned the court for a search warrant. He is typically the same one who leades the raid so he/she is at fault. Very shotty investigative work. Probably got a tip from an informant and did not follow-up. I disagree in suing the whole department.
Mistakes are made but the police are right 99% of the time. You only hear about the 1 out of 100 incidents that they are wrong. Officer in charge should be reassigned or off without pay in the least or a more significant punishment if local, and I repeat local, senitment dictates.
The victims were 80 years old. Not in their 20s. ANY injury at that age is a potentially life changing event from which they will never recover.
At least the Nazi stormtroopers made it home safely, which is all that matters anymore in Amerika.
But hey! At least they didn't wake the children!
And kind of good...
I presume the USPS manages to get mail to the correct house.
The officers on the entry team are not at fault. They have no way of knowing if they are hitting the right house or not, so they follow procedure the same way every time amd so did I. I prefer to go home every night and not leve my safety up to arm chair QB's who haven't the nerve to do the job others do.
Entry team is a harrowng experience some times. Other times it is boring. I trained and implemented on the side of harrowing every time.
Agree totally. I bet not one of these SWAT thugs hold in their heart the true meaning of the Constitution. Most of them just like power and pretending they are part of some dumb TV show. Believe me, this could happen to any of us. There is NO place in a free society for this type of police unit.
Almost :)
Puh-leeze. Anyone with a multidigit IQ can figure out that if you have an ambiguous description of the target, you go back and get a clarification.
Spot on. There is no excuse for this type of manhandling of octogenarians, short of one of them making threats against the LEOs with a loaded weapon or something.
This "I stand by my men 110%" after screw-ups like this is too commonplace and goes too far to shield the Bad Guys (read: power-drunk LEOs) from the repercussions of their actions. No wonder so many are arrogant SOBs. Apparently it's been reinforced time and time again that they ARE above the law.
Dont know,but I still have the picture of that old lady being tackled by linebacker/CHP officer in New Orleans.What a shame.
Which part of the procedure calls for roughing up 80 year olds and putting them in the hospital for the crime of sleeping at home in their beds?
For this idiot to say such a thing should result in his immediate firing and retraction of any pension. To say such a thing is an affront to Liberty and the rule of law. I despise how those in command always "stand by their officers." They first and foremost must respect Life and the Constitution. Doing the right this must not matter to them. And they wonder why many resort to calling them pigs.
The sooner, the better.
I can just see the SWAT/NARC thugs yanking the 80 year olds out of their bed and slamming them on the ground.
Such heroes.
Amen. Except then the poor homeowner will probably be charged with attempted murder or murder.
Cool. Does that mean us non-LEOs aren't responsible for anything we do either? Next time I get stopped for speeding can I say it's "not my fault" and get away it?
arm chair QB's who haven't the nerve to do the job others do.
I guess that I, and others here, lack the bravery and courage to kick down the door of a couple of senior citizens and send both of them to the hospital.
Do whatever you want because the serfs--I mean citizens can't do sh*t about it. War on Some Drugs rocks!
The usual procedure is kill them all and let God sort them out.
Guys on teh entry team are not actively involved in the investigation, they are called to perform the raid only.
Training to perform entries involves learning how to make it through a house ( any soze and floorplan ) and secure all persons inside in the quickest amount of time for two reasons. One, every one's safety and two, the preservation of evidence.
I too have "secured" persons in the dark ( some raids are perform in the night and you do not turn on the lights as you run through the house ) that after the fact I realize I was a bit to rough on, but that is the nature of the job. The first time you relax and slow down is the time someone sees you coming and fires shots through the door at you, hits you with a baseball bat, takes a hostage, or jumps out a window.
These are happening WAY too often. It's a once a week thing, now, perhaps because of the Net and the explosion in information access, but JBTs had better realize that the old method of Shoot, Shovel and Shut up, with the local paper going along to get along, ain't cutting it anymore.
Police departments have too much power to have any expectation of forgiveness for "human error."
I see the FR search engine is still a joke.
Won't do any good to sue them. If the people win, the politicians will only raise their taxes to pay the award[plus a little for their own pockets].
Mississippi ping
You get off on this sort of crap or you wouldn't be doing it, and what's with implying that those who object to brutality or simple ignorance substituting for professionalism are somehow cowards?
Oooh, I have an idea! How about we get rid of small town SWAT teams and stop doing dynamic entries. Arrest ppl when they are out in town and when they can be clearly identified.
