Speaking Event: Grabbing Power - The New Struggles for Land, Food, and Democracy in Honduras
Local author Tanya Kerssen, a researcher for Food First, will introduce her new book, Grabbing Power: The New Struggles for Land, Food and Democracy in Northern Honduras.
The book describes the powerful Resistance Movement that has emerged in Honduras since the 2009 US-backed coup. A handful of elite businessmen have waged a war on peasants in the Aguán Valley to expand their massive oil palm plantations. Between September 2009 and August 2012, 53 peasants were murdered in the context of the Aguán agrarian conflictwith many more injured, kidnapped, illegally detained, forcibly evicted, tortured and sexually assaulted. Many Aguán peasants and activists now place the death toll at over 60. The book shows how the power of these elites is bolstered by international aid, green capitalism, a corrupt media, and US-funded militarization in the name of a tragic War on Drugs.
Tanya Kerssen analyzes the root causes of hunger and works to amplify the voices of social movements fighting to transform the global food system. She writes and teaches on the political economy of food, agriculture and peasant resistance, and is engaged in solidarity work in support of Honduran land and democracy movements.

From the Editor
From Parameters, Autumn 2005, pp. 2-3.
In This Issue . . .
Andrew S. Natsios, Administrator of the US Agency for International Development (USAID), introduces and analyzes The Nine Principles of Reconstruction and Development. Patterned after the Nine Principles of War, Natsioss principles are designed to provide agencies with greater opportunities for success, and are required for greater cooperation between the military and development agencies. The author uses the paradigm of Afghanistan to demonstrate the utility of his principles and concludes that they do in fact overlap with military doctrinal principles. When applied in concert with military objectives, they are key to the success of any reconstruction and development effort.
Sean M. Maloney examines the history and future of Americas recent involvement in Afghanistan in Afghanistan Four Years On: An Assessment. The article was developed in an effort to expand a rather pessimistic assessment of the US role in Afghanistan that appeared in the Spring 2004 issue of Parameters. Maloney postulates that success in Afghanistan hinges on four moving parts. First is the continuing success of the Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs), supported by the American-led Coalition of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). The second factor is what the author terms the main cog, the development and expansion of the Afghan National Army (ANA). Complementing the first two factors is the continuing expansion of the role of the 4,500-strong, European-led, International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). The final moving part is the institution-building and coordination efforts of the OEF, ISAF, the Afghan Ministry of Defense, the National Directorate of Security, and police forces in Kabul. The author says that in 2005 the situation in Afghanistan has progressed to a point where guarded optimism is justified.
Our first thematic presentation addresses an issue that has garnered the interest of activists on a global scale, The Processing and Treatment of Illegal Combatants. Thomas E. Ayres uses a metaphor reminiscent of General Charles C. Krulaks three-block-war to pen Six Floors of Detainee Operations in the Post-9/11 World. Ayres, a member of the Judge Advocate Generals Corps, defines six specific categories of detainee operations. The author distinguishes between categories (floors) of detainees in an effort to define specific and unequivocal guidance for forces at the operational and tactical levels related to the treatment and protection of detainees. Ayres concludes that even though the gloves came off after 9/11, the international community needs stringent and understandable measures related to the treatment of terrorists and unlawful combatants so as not to legitimize inhumane measures that debase our own humanity. Our second article in this feature is Australian Brigadier Gerard P. Fogartys Is Guantanamo Bay Undermining the Global War on Terror? The author provides insight into the turmoil surrounding the operation of the military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba. Fogarty examines the questions of lawful or unlawful combatants and due process (tribunals) to conclude that America is losing the battle for world opinion. He suggests that if the United States is to regain the moral high ground, it should move detainee trials into the international arena by means of UN-authorized tribunals, established under specific statute, agreed to by the United States and the UN.
Andrew Harvey, Ian Sullivan, and Ralph Groves contribute A Clash of Systems: An Analytical Framework to Demystify the Radical Islamist Threat, the first of two articles under the rubric Religion and Political Change. Glancing back at a Winter 2004-05 Parameters article by Philip Seib that examined Samuel Huntingtons clash of civilizations theory, the authors provide an alternative framework for analyzing global conflict. They analyze a series of rules that have characterized the interaction between a system of state and non-state actors throughout history and conclude that when it comes to understanding current events in the Middle East, one must appreciate that it is not about oil, but ideas. Chris Zambelis provides our second article in this feature, The Strategic Implications of Political Liberalization and Democratization in the Middle East. Zambelis bases his thesis on the differentiation between democratization and liberalization. He examines the long-term strategic implications of a democratic Middle East and its impact on US interests, concluding that dramatic changes in the political and foreign policy orientation of many of our Middle Eastern allies may not result in what America really wants or needs.
Our final thematic offering in this issue is a departure from our tendency to forego manuscripts that are mostly historical in nature. Decisionmaking in Vietnam: Two Cases provides readers with an opportunity to appreciate how decisions affecting Americas national security interests were formulated and to draw analogies where appropriate. Frank L. Jones examines the relationship between President Lyndon Johnson and Robert Komer, Johnsons choice to oversee the winning of the other war in Vietnam. Blowtorch: Robert Komer and the Making of Vietnam Pacification Policy is an examination of presidential determination, bureaucratic failure, and one mans ability to influence a nations future. Jones analyzes Robert Komers role as the strategic architect of Americas pacification policy during the Vietnam War and determines that his intellect and force of personality contributed greatly to Americas successes in that effort. Our final article in this issue is Mark Amidons Groupthink, Politics, and the Decision to Attempt the Son Tay Rescue. The background of this attempt to rescue American prisoners of war during the final stages of the Vietnam War provides rich lessons in group decision dynamics and political maneuvering.
The Book Reviews section offers stimulating looks at new titles. Richard Halloran leads with his review of Thomas X. Hammes The Sling and the Stone: On War in the 21st Century. Andrew Bacevich considers Who Killed the Canadian Military? by J. L. Granatstein. Robert Killebrew reviews Stephen A. Duncans A War of a Different Kind: Military Force and Americas Search for Homeland Security. And many more also will whet our readers appetites. RHT

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Winless Wonders, Nov 18, 2006.
What if you gave 110% 90% of the time?
Wade gets knocked down 5 times flops 6 times , gets 11 whistles so he can get up 11 times and get 22 free throws. Nice job if you can get it! What does it take to be the refs' pet?
Little doubt Iverson is among best on ChicagoSports.com
Reports out of New York, BAD ANSWER By PETER VECSEY - New York Post Online Edition: Seven AI is on the trade block...
Jim Rome was talking about this. AI has asked for a trade. One can hope and nothing against Billups but I would love to see a Billups/Mohamed deal for AI. I think that would work salary wise. Billups is going to get 15mil or so anyway and it would be great to trade that 30mil mistake the team signed for our starting center. Davis, Maxiel and Johnson can handle that role just fine. Beside talk about taking things at the Palace up a couple of nothches. It makes sense from a business percpective with increased sales and a contract, although high, that would not be around when the guy is over the hill. This would top the Sheed deal. Get AI and crown him the new team captain.
too bad philly looks like they are saying 'if you take iverson you have to take webber'. thats a trade kicker if ever i've seen one.
I'm not sure that's what they're saying. From the article: If you believe the source, then trading AI is the primary goal, and getting rid of Webber is a secondary goal. I'm no capologist, but it's hard to imagine one team that could take both AI and Webber. Maybe they could both go in a complex (and fragile) multi-team trade. The crazy thing is this list of the top salaries from hoopshype (I think it's current): The 76ers have players #2 and #6 and the fifth-worst record in the league.
Iverson in the company with Michael and Wilt. The writer of that line has to be a comedian. That is the funniest thing I have read all week and I have read a lot. It seems to me that Iverson is at the same level as Pistol Pete.
The writer was just stating fact. Iverson is going on 5 seasons averaging 30 pts or more. Only Michael and Wilt have done that. So he is stating fact. Is Iverson as good as Michael or Wilt? Of course not.
ESPN says that the 76ers have sent Iverson home for at least the next two games. They say he has back spasms (standard fake injury) but he says he wants to play. Sounds like he's finally getting out of there.
No, but I would trade Flip for AI
For the 76ers to do that they must have a deal in the works with someone.
Just the fact that anyone, much less a Chicago writer would mention another player in comparison in anyway to Michael (and Wilt) I find humorous. You know Jason Kidd just tied Wilt for 3rd place with the most career triple doubles at 78, behind Oscar and Magic. How many does AI have? http://http://www.sportsline.com/nba/players/playerpage/6652 NBA.com The Art of the Triple-Double
Thats funny. That is even funnier than the writer's comments. I love it.
Whoever it is I am sure that AI's agent will get a guaranteed contract, that will guarantee that AI gets at least 30 shots a game. (His career average is about 23+ FG attempts a game + 9+ FTs a game.) That only works out to about 23 + 4 (assuming some of those FTs that were taken resulted from non shooting plays) 27 shot attempts a game. AI is PO's because he wants at least 30 shots a game. That is why he is demanding a trade.
Chauncey is a team player AI is not keep Chauncey No AI.
I have a ton of man love for mr big shot Billups but if we were to lose him for nothing I say make this deal happen 3501576. Billups Dyess and Davis for A.I. You cant trade Nazr untill Dec. 15th I tried and real gm wouldnt let me. Imo you can risk letting go of Dyess because of Jmax. He showed earlier he could do the things we need him to do. His minutes have gone down only 122 so far but I think he could do some damage. Hell he has more ft attempts than Dyess That to me says he is playing agressive ball. And Dale has seen the court even less than Jmax only 118 minutes of total waste of space. I know how some of the people harp on the fact that oh well you just want to see this or that guy do well (insert Darko comment here) but I want to see the team do well and you dont get very far if you dont develop your young players.
No way Dice or Davis go. If we're trading for Iverson, we're making a run at a championship. You don't trade away your second-best big man in such a scenario and perhaps your third-best.
precisely. AI would cost us too much. and not in $ but in talent.
You guy's are looking at this and trying to make it to simple. Vary rarely are there one for one trades in the NBA anymore. Remember the Miami Heat 8 team 15 player trade? If we got Iverson a third and maybe a fourth team might have to come into play to make it happen. When we got Sheed we needed a third team in Boston to make it happen. Also Davidson would have to be willing to pay the luxury tax for 2 seasons. That would be our window to get 2 more ships. My take is if we can't get Chauncey to resign or even talk about terms for a new contract I say deal him. It would be a total embrassment to let 2 All Stars walk and get nothing in return.
Separate names with a comma.

Glad I bought a couple humdred AK mags from AIM when they were $8 each and a couple hundred AR mags from DSG Arms for under $9 each. Guess I could have sold for a tidy profit though. Think I will keep mine.
I bought up all of them 20 rnd and 32 rnd UZI mags 6 years ago. Had my first UZI but, what was this AR15 thing all about? Got some conversion parts from RRA and assemble a first AR15 as a 9mm. Got a job several years back where I can machine anything I want after hours. So, several dozen of them UZI mags got machined into real good AR15 9mm ones. Bead blasted and parked all of them up to last.
A 9mm AR15 is such a sure hitter under 100 yards. And, what you hit gets, plastered. Without a huge blast of noise.
Midway has ar-15 USGI mags for $14 limit of 2 per customer order if you need mags at a fair price don't wait ( i got plenty)
They are 20 rounders but, that is real good.
CDNN has some of the BEST deals going on magazines at this time.
.. They are coming back, slowly but their at least coming back..
Just ordered 4 .45 mags, on sale no less.. Few days ago they were out of stock.
Sporadic AR mags showing up.. Have to search but they are out there.. Up a few bucks, but hold steady. Supply and demand.. All the Nappy voters are done buying, maybe? Prices will drop..
MAGS have more of less recovered in price now. I just picked up 4, 32 rnd CZ mags.
Now, just quit buying ammo and it will rebound as well.
i wouldn't say "fully" --mags are going for about $15 when the sold for around $9 each before the panic. ain't that about 50% over the glut price?
better that $49.99 to $99.99 CTD bs --but still above retail mostly.
when you see reasonably good quality ar mags for $15-$17 they generally ain't around long.
and anytime there could be another hi-profile criminal act with a firearm and the "panic" will be right back on again. the democrats let no disaster or crime go to waste when it comes to pushing their agenda.
just the other day some moron capped himself and he was planning some kind of school/college shoot-um-up. had bombs all-ready made and everything.
hell as crooked as the government they may spring some fast and furious false flag BS at any time.
and Obama and fienstine are really pissed because their AW ban is floundering.
a disaster,mass shootings,hi-profile homicide and the door may be closing on mags at any time.
those $5 mag deals we were getting a couple years ago? their gone for good this time.
and the overpriced mags of today may look pretty good in the future.
i can remember when an AK parts kit that was $99 barrel and all was "too pricy".
if things go bad we could well end up saying the same about the $25 mags of today.
and damn ammo? ammo if anything is WORSE than early in the panic-- i hope the ammo situation gets better. but they way things are i ain't counting on it.
that the thing really.
if things go back to normal --yea mags ammo and so on are going down.
things don't feel right to me. and many feel the same --like that other shoe is about to drop --
when that shoe drops -- a spare mag or two and a few rounds might be worth quite a bit.
Been noticing that the Tapco AK47 mags are available at a lot of differant places for "normal" prices, from $12.99 to slightly higher.
Apex, What A Country, and Midway USA have them.
I had ordered a few from Copes Dist. but they are out of them I guess. Paid $17.99
Used a couple on this SKS conversion.
$5 mags are gone for inflation not just this panic thing. I have way more of these damn things than I will ever use. Buy up some things before they TAX it out of you.

TAVERNIER -- In the coming months, a 32-inch pipeline is expected to be drilled 40 feet under Tavernier Creek as part of an ongoing construction project connecting Islamorada residents to Key Largo's sewage treatment plant.
The pipe will need to be 1,500 feet long to cross under the creek, says Richard Crow, project manager for Layne Construction, which is overseeing the effort for the village of Islamorada.
The pipe will slope 40 feet under the creek's bed to avoid other utilities and because that's the safest place for the pipe.
"We want to go as low as we can go," says Kevin Pope of Underground Utilities Solutions, which is negotiating to get the project.
Crow acknowledges that the pipe will be carrying sewage but says the contents have little impact on how the pipeling is constructed. Crow, who worked on parts of the Key Largo wastewater project, said his company ran a pipe along the bridge at the Marvin D. Adams Waterway, known commonly as "the cut," rather than going under it.
Running the pipe underground has concerned some Key Largo Wastewater Board members, who question what would happen if something went wrong with the pipe 40 feet below.
But Crow said he would like to offer some comfort.
"Going underground is the safest way to do it," Crow said. "And it's not a decision just made by Layne."
Many projects on the mainland follow the same guidelines, and running pipes under waterways is approved by state inspectors, he said.
"[The inspectors] don't just come by at the end when we're done, and say, 'Good job,'" he said.
As required by law, an independent scientist will be on hand to monitor the project.
"If we see any manatees, we shut down until they leave the area," Pope said as an example of some of the precautions they take.
Both Pope and Crow said safety is the top priority.
"It's not just a word with us," Crow said.
Three tanks will recycle mud pulled from under the bed as the line is being installed. Construction is to begin on the south side of the bridge,
Drilling into coral rock, Pope and Crow say, is easier than drilling into mud and sand on the mainland.
The project may have impact for a few weeks on local businesses on the southwest side of the bridge along Freeland Road.
"Any impact is a bad day," Crow said.
The Tavernier Creek extension is just one of many underground pipelines expected to be built in the Islamorada project. Others are to be build under Snake Creek, Whale Harbor and the Tea Table-Indian Key fill bridges.

Republicans Warm To Obama's Efforts
WASHINGTON—Several Republican lawmakers signaled Thursday a willingness to work with President Barack Obama —or at least to hear him out—on how to reach a broad budget deal.
After weeks of rancor and relatively little direct engagement, Mr. Obama has expanded his recent aggressive attempts to work around GOP leaders and make his pitch for a deficit-reduction plan directly to rank-and-file Republican lawmakers.
The president followed his Wednesday dinner with 12 GOP senators by lunching Thursday with Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), the chairman of the House Budget Committee, and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D., Md.), the senior Democrat on the panel.
Both Republicans and administration officials described the discussions as productive and even pleasant. But while the lawmakers' mood may be improving, fundamental disagreements over taxes and spending persist, and lawmakers in both parties acknowledged that any significant deal would be months away at best. "I don't think anyone left there with any anticipation that over the next month or six weeks anything is going to happen," said Sen. Bob Corker (R., Tenn.), who attended the dinner. "I think the goal would be to make something happen over the next four or five months."
With across-the-board budget cuts known as the sequester having taken effect, and both the House and Senate writing legislation to avoid a partial government shutdown later this month, many lawmakers have pointed to this summer—when the government must again raise its borrowing limit—as a possible target for reaching a big deal.
House Speaker John Boehner noted Mr. Obama's outreach effort and said he hoped "something will come out of it." But he said Thursday he wouldn't support raising the debt ceiling without matching spending cuts.
Both the president and some GOP members have indicated a willingness to discuss a deficit-reduction approach that would involve overhauling the tax code and slowing the growth of spending on entitlement programs such as Medicare and Social Security. But, as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) noted, "The details may trip us up."
Among the potential obstacles: The White House wants tax changes that result in a net rise in revenue, which many GOP lawmakers oppose. Many Republicans want bigger changes to entitlement programs than Democrats favor. And an effort to splinter the GOP could backfire, particularly if liberal Democrats revolt at any proposal they see as too Republican-friendly.

Both sides offered cautionary notes Thursday. "It's going to be hard," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said. "I do not want to in any way to suggest that this is a sure thing. It is far from that."
Mr. Obama's current approach marks a shift from his recent public criticism of GOP lawmakers as he tried, unsuccessfully, to pressure them to negotiate over the sequester. His overtures to the Republican rank-and-file represents a departure from his failed efforts in 2011 and 2012 to broker large-scale deficit-reduction deals by negotiating primarily with Mr. Boehner.
Now, Mr. Obama is trying to bypass the congressional leadership in hopes of brokering a deal with enough Senate Republicans so that body can pass a bipartisan bill and send it to the House.
Mr. Obama has focused his attention largely on Republicans this week, a move that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) described as useful to understand what measures Republican members might support. "I think it's important that they all get to know each other better," she said.Some Republicans said the president has some catching up to do, after making little effort to build relationships during his first term—a claim the White House disputes. At the same time, some said they are willing to look forward, not back.
"As an avid golfer, the president knows that one of the most important parts of the swing is the follow-through," Sen. Mike Johanns (R., Neb.) said in a statement after dining with Mr. Obama. "The same holds true here as well."

I can recommend the place: very good location, cosy, spacious and clean apartment with all facilities you need, nice, helpful and punctual host
La situación del apartamento es muy buena, en el centro de Lisboa, cerca de todo.
El apartamento es muy incómodo por su dimensión reducida (unos 15-18 metros cuadrados en total) por lo que la estancia ha sido muy incómoda para 3 personas. El baño diminuto y el espacio de la cocina también
La publicidad induce a engaño ya que pone 1 dormitorio y en realidad se trata de una cama en el espacio común. No hay ningún armario en el que dejar la ropa o las maletas y era imposible estar cómodo. No había ninguna silla, tan sólo 2 taburetes. La primera noche pasamos mucho frío por no haber calefacción ni estufa ni calefactor. Sí que es verdad que al llamar por teléfono al propietario, al día siguiente tuvimos calefactores y más mantas.

Perfect Location for a small familiy in the middle of Lisboa!
Wasabi Orange Appartment is located great in the Alfama, very close to famous Tram 28. The living room and one of the bedrooms are overlooking the Tejo river - great view!
The address is hard to find, even for a taxi-driver, since the street has several parts - Wimdu should send customers a description of how to get there.
The interior of the appartment is quite nice, it is a place to feel good in with a party of four. Only it needs more cleaning, especially the fridge and the bathrooms. There was a lot of mold in the bathrooms which had not been cleaned off.
This place is available for max. 4 people. Because, table is very small for breakfast or dinner. Building stairs are very long and steep even for young people. I wrote couple of e-mail and SMS to host for our arriving hour but we waited at least half an hour in front of building that I could not access by phone to him. Finally, I talked to his friend by the mobile phone about my name, stay period etc. more than twenty minutes.This must be shame for the host.
Everything was to our full satisfaction. We can definetly recommend the apartment
We had a very pleasant stay at Wasabi Red Apartment. All what you need is available. The host was very kind. We had a very warm welcome. A lot of small grocery stores in the neighbourhood to do some shopping. We stayed 5 nights in Lissabon. The apartment is nearby tram 28 and metro. We stayed with 4 persons. The view is great. From the couch you have a view on the Taag. Lovely.
Thanks Riu and Tiago
We had a great stay!
The location is good, the cathedral of Se and the castle are just a few minutes walk away and the neighborhood is exciting with the labyrintish street plan. There is a lot of restaurants nearby and still, at night, it is a quiet area.
The apartment has a good layout, it's fresh, airy and modern, well equipped and with nice furniture. Both the kitchen and the living room have french balconies, and offers nice views of Lisbon, and from the roof window in the bedroom the view is even better! We would love to stay here again!!

I haven't seen any of those with DAK, but it is possible. If it has an SRT, it is definitely DA/SA. No SRT with DAK.
Hi...I'm new here and have been searching all over the internet for the answer to this question. I've been looking at the p226 cerakote and half the places I look have it listed as Double-Action, while the other half say it's DA/SA. As I understand it, this pistol has a SRT. Is it possible to be double-action only and have an SRT? Also, I was under the impression that DAO sku numbers would have DAK in the number.
Why is this gun with night sites and SRT so much cheaper than other versions?

Thanks for the reply. After digging around some more. I'm 95% sure these are all DA/SA. I'm just not sure why some websites say double-action but don't say DA/SA.

DH and I are celebrating our 10th anniversary in Positano in September with a vow renewal. We are looking for somewhere to have a little reception after the ceremony.
I had my heart set on La Sponda at the Sirenuse but they don't answer their emails.
o own it, so it's not an unbiased suggestion. I emailed Caffe Positano and they indicated availability. I later read the reviews on tripadvisor and there were some recurring themes running through the negative reviews. No one though had had a wedding reception there. The photos of it decorated for a wedding reception look beautiful.
This photo is of the Caffe Positano. It was recommended by our hotel. I later read though, that they own it, so it's hardly an unbiased recommendation. Has anyone been there for a reception?
The trip advisor reviews are reasonably good for Caffe Positano but they have similar themes in their negative reviews. No one mentions a wedding reception there. If you have been there for a wedding reception - what was the food like? Service? Was there any music?
We want somewhere with amazing views, great food and variety of food (as my mother doesn't eat seafood), great atmosphere, nicely decorated, maybe some music (I know there are issues with music at receptions in Positano).
Any advice/recomendations, thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I'm sorry I don't have any feedback on the restaurants you mentioned. I was just looking at both their websites and IMO La Sponda is much more appropriate for your event. The atmosphere and decor seem more elegant; I would consider the Caff? for a more relaxed day-after lunch, maybe.
You mentioned not being able to contact La Sponda, I can call for you and ask if they take phone reservations, if you want. I'm Italian so it would take me just a minute to get an answer.
The only restaurant with a view I know in the area is the one at the Hotel Rufolo, in Ravello. I've been there years ago but I'm sure the surroundings are still as beautiful. Ravello isn't Positano so you'd still get a beautiful view, just not a sheer drop on the coast.
We've had lunch at Caffe Positano. We sat outside (tiny tables, but great view) but as I remember the inside didn't really have a view. It's sort of like going down into Positano the tables are virtually on the shoulder far right of the road. The restaurant is physically across the street (mind you it's a tiny street but still) on the left. I imagine you can see the water from inside but it's not like the dining room is directly overlooking the ocean, if that makes sense.
As for food-- fine, to be honest I don't remember the meal in detail, but again, we weren't at a reception or anything formal (just having a quick bite outside). I'm not a huge fan of seafood either and I'm sure I ate something, so they must have had a bistecca or something. I do remember a really yummy mozzarella and grilled lemon leaf app-- very tasty. Haven't been back to Positano since last fall (prefer Ravello and, for ease of driving, Vietri), but we probably will try to head down some time later in April, if you'd like any recon !

Beauties of the Beautiful Game: France/Sweden
All through the Euro, Playboy.com will provide you with a team-by team preview, complete with sexy girls wearing sexy scarves.

France – Group Record: 2-0-1, advances to quarters
After France's very public and disastrous implosion at the 2010 World Cup, there were questions as to whether the once-great soccer nation could reemerge as a viable contender in 2012. While we're not quite ready to put them in the running with the Spain and Germany sides quite yet, there is a sense that the French squad has retooled effectively during the two-year down period, even if it meant setting some of bigger egos and talent aside. Up front they still have Franck Ribéry, who'll be joined by star strikers Karim Benzema and Olivier Giroud, and their backfield is flush with stars from the premier league, but the question will be whether their inexperienced midfielders can create sufficient opportunities in the transition game.
Sweden – Group Record: 2-1-0, advances to quarters
Never known as a football powerhouse, Sweden could emerge as a surprise elimination round entry after being grouped with English and French sides that have been disappointing in recent international tournaments. Striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is largely considered to be one of the best attacking talents in the game, one of those rare players who can create opportunities for himself, but he should get some help anyway from up-and-coming midfielder Rasmus Elm. If France and England draw and Sweden can take at least one of the games against them, they might just sail through to the quarter-finals.

As of this week, as a function of the passage of Amendment 64, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper has signed into law the proclamation that legalizes the personal possession of less than an ounce of marijuana in Colorado. The law does not permit public use of marijuana by anyone under any circumstances, and allows possession only for those over the age of 21.
The new constitutional provision will not take effect until the Colorado Department of Revenue has created and disseminated regulations. The Governor has created a task force to determine and assess the legal and policy issues involved and to help develop those regulations. Until that time, there may be confusion across the state, and within our campus community, as to what this new constitutional amendment will mean when actually implemented.
Given some of the confusion about precisely what Amendment 64 means for CU, here is what I want people to know. The University has not enacted any new or more restrictive regulations on marijuana than have previously existed on campus and the same provisions are relevant now as were relevant before Amendment 64. Further, the Amendment does not permit anyone under the age of 21 to possess or use marijuana, and again, these activities are prohibited on campus in any event.
However, let me underscore that the safety of the campus community – its students, staff, and faculty – are of the utmost concern to me. The reports this weekend that a CU-Boulder faculty member and students were provided with marijuana-brownies in a history class last Friday without their knowledge or consent are deeply disturbing and totally unacceptable. This reckless and irresponsible act flies in the face of the trust that is necessary for a community of scholarship and learning such as ours, and endangers the health of our community. Our campus police have filed felony charges in this matter after eight people were sickened and three – two students and a faculty member – were briefly hospitalized.
The University of Colorado Boulder has a long-standing prohibition regarding the use and distribution of illegal substances, including marijuana, in campus facilities, on campus grounds and in our residence halls. The full policy can be found here: http://hr.colorado.edu/pages/alcohol-and-drug-policy.aspx. The Student Code of Conduct prohibits CU students from providing, possessing, using, manufacturing, distributing, or selling drugs, which includes marijuana. Amendment 64 does not change either prohibition.
In addition, through the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act, federal law requires that institutions of higher education receiving federal funds effectively prevent the possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs by all students and employees on the premises of the institution. As marijuana is considered an illegal drug under the federal Controlled Substances Act, and because CU-Boulder is a recipient of federal funds, the university is bound to prohibit its use, possession, and distribution on campus. As long as we comply with the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act, which we fully intend to do, our federal funding is not at risk regardless of Amendment 64 being signed into law.
We are awaiting clarification from state and federal legal authorities about any conflicts between state and federal law in this area. As further developments arise related to this legal issue, please know that my office will provide you with period updates and information resources. In the mean time, you have my best wishes for a safe and productive end to the semester and for safe and prosperous winter holidays.

AOLers Join Forces for Cycle for Survival 2013
Nov 29, 2012
AOLers Cycle for Survival
AOL takes great pride in being a company who's in the business of helping people and AOLer Janet Balis saw this first-hand when AOL stood behind her and Cycle for Survival, raising money for cancer research. Janet's close friend Jennifer Goodman Linn founded the charity in 2007 and in the years that followed, grew the effort to become one of the fastest growing non-profits in the country, raising over $18 million. As she writes on HuffPost Impact:
I wanted to introduce this important cause to my new home at AOL. The response was overwhelming and very touching, particularly in the year which would be our first time ever cycling without Jen, who lost her battle with a rare cancer called Sarcoma in July 2011. In that emotional moment, I suddenly felt like I was very much part of a team. The corporate cause team sprung into action to spread the word. An AOL sales executive decided that he not only wanted to start a team in Detroit, but that he would do it as a satellite experience since there was not even an Equinox location there for the spinning class. Across the company, I marveled as people sprung into action -- this truly was a place that did what it said.

text: just curious what legal AK builders are getting to build say a matching romy g kit with barrel. You supply the 922 parts, rivets, polish 80% reciever. Ive got a kit and since these things arent all that cheap anymore. The more I think about it, Im wondering if it would be better to just send it out and have it professionally built. Im sure others out there have kits stashed and never actually built it. The guy I bought this kit from had another matching kit but he drilled the rivets out and almost punched through the chamber. Im not that careless, but I dont have the proper rivet crusher ( I do have a bolt cutter) but reading how some folks have issues getting the rivets crushed right the first few times, headspaced etc. jim

BATON ROUGE (AP) — The Louisiana House has rejected an attempt to provide government-subsidized health insurance to thousands of people with the Medicaid dollars available under the federal Affordable Care Act.
The 59-37 vote against the Medicaid expansion proposal appeared to kill the issue for the legislative session. The Senate's budget committee has refused a similar bill. Gov. Bobby Jindal opposes the expansion.
Rep. Pat Smith's bill would have required the state health department to seek federal approval for a program using the Medicaid expansion dollars to provide private insurance coverage to adults making up to 138 percent of the poverty level — less than $32,000 for a family of four.
The federal government would have covered the full cost for the first three years.
Senators have killed a $3.5 billion public school funding proposal submitted to lawmakers by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education.
The Senate Education Committee voted Tuesday to reject the formula, because of concerns about proposed changes to special education and gifted student payments to schools.
The formula submitted by BESE would have paid for public schools for the 2013-14 school year. Lawmakers can approve it or reject it, but cannot change it.
Without a new formula, schools will continue to be paid under the 2011-12 funding formula, which costs $30 million more than the funding currently included in the state budget.
Sen. Conrad Appel, chairman of the education committee, says he doesn't think BESE could get a reworked formula through the Legislature before the session ends June 6.
Lawmakers are looking for ways to stall or at least slow down Planned Parenthood's construction of a new facility in Louisiana that would provide abortions in addition to other health care services for women.
Planned Parenthood doesn't currently operate an abortion clinic in the state.
Lawmakers are pushing resolutions urging various state and local government agencies to investigate the organization and make sure it is complying with every state and federal regulation on the books involving abortion.
The Senate passed such a resolution Monday, and the House Health and Welfare Committee advanced a similar measure Tuesday without objection.
Supporters of the resolutions are opposed to abortion.
The House refused Tuesday to relinquish legislative control over tuition hikes for students at Louisiana's public colleges.
A proposal by Rep. Thomas Carmody, R-Shreveport, would have spelled out in the state constitution that tuition increases don't require approval of two-thirds of the House and Senate.
Carmody said the campuses need to be able to raise their charges on students to offset the steep reductions in state funding to the schools.
"How are they supposed to continue to operate in a state that will not put up the money?" he said.
The House voted 51-45 for the measure (House Bill 87). It needed 70 votes to pass.
Opponents of the bill said the state should fund its priorities, not shift costs to students.
"Isn't this in a way a tax on their dreams?" said Rep. Sam Jones, D-Franklin.
Senators postponed a vote Tuesday on a controversial bill that would prohibit enforcement in Louisiana of any federal bans on assault weapons, after opponents called the measure unconstitutional.
Following a barrage of questions about the effort to usurp federal laws and several attempts to attach unwieldy amendments, Sen. Rick Ward, D-Port Allen, deferred a vote on the House-approved measure.
He can seek a vote another day.
Whether the bill could pass a court challenge is a contentious point that even the bill's sponsor, Republican Rep. Jim Morris of Oil City has acknowledged he doesn't have the answer to since introducing the measure. But he still doggedly pursued the bill, arguing states' rights.
The bill seeks to prohibit the enforcement of federal law in Louisiana as it relates to owning semi-automatic weapons and ammunition for such guns. A requirement that the state attorney general's office represents those who may be arrested for having federally prohibited guns was amended out of the bill in committee.
On Tuesday, Ward said he could not speak on whether the proposal was constitutional, but he said the federal government can become too intrusive.
"Federal government can go a little overboard, and sometimes you need to push back," he said. "Let the courts of this state and beyond decide."
Ward's attempt to push the measure was met with several amendments from opponents, including two wryly put forward by Sen. Dan Claitor, R-Baton Rouge, that would have made the bill retroactive to April 30, 1812, and would have charged violators with treason, punishable by death. Both amendments failed.
"That's the date (Louisiana) was admitted to the Union," Claitor said of the proposed 1812 change. "Frankly, I think it's unconstitutional. With this amendment, it highlights that" point.
Sen. Ed Murray, D-New Orleans, said the measure should be a resolution, not a bill that's "patently unconstitutional."
"You can't pick and choose," Murray said of federal laws. "We fought this war before."
However, his attempt to have the bill shelved failed on a 12-23 vote.
Meanwhile, the Senate overwhelmingly approved other gun-related measures that would make it a misdemeanor to release or publish the names and addresses of people who own or have applied for concealed handgun permits and to allow off-duty federal and state certified law enforcement officers to carry weapons on school campuses.
Those bills, already approved by the House, return there for approval of Senate changes.
The Senate also gave final approval to a measure by Rep. Barry Ivey, R-Baton Rouge, that would allow concealed permit holders the option of purchasing a $500 permit good for 20 years. Residents would still have to show proof of education training classes every five years, but would not have resubmit paperwork.
That measure passed 34-3 and now heads to Gov. Bobby Jindal's desk.
A bill that would set new licensing guidelines for daycare centers and facilities gained approval from the House Health and Welfare committee on Tuesday.
The proposal (Senate Bill 222), which is part of Gov. Bobby Jindal's attempt to restructure publicly-funded early childhood education, moves to the House floor for debate. It already has been backed by the Senate.
While the bill cleared the committee on a 10-2 vote, supporters from the child care industry voiced concern about a change made by the House committee that would dissolve an advisory panel created to help form policies and regulations for the new licensing standards.
Under the amendment, the Louisiana Advisory Council on Childcare and Early Education would disband on Jan. 1, 2014, a change opposed by Alan Young, a representative for the Louisiana Childcare Association. Young said his group supported the proposal based on the inclusion of the advisory board.
Health and Welfare Committee Chairman Scott Simon, who proposed the amendment, said he was concerned about having an advisory board helping to regulate its own industry.
Motorists in Louisiana will have to add tweets and Facebook updates to the list of activity banned while driving, in addition to texting.
A bill prohibiting posting to social media sites while driving gained final approval with a 34-1 Senate vote on Tuesday. It now heads to Gov. Bobby Jindal's desk.
Violators will face a traffic fine of up to $175 for the first offense and up to $500 for second and subsequent violations.
The bill by Livingston Republican Dale Erdey closes what he called a loophole by adding accessing, reading and posting to social media sites, such as the popular Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, to the prohibited-while-driving list.
Drivers of the Elio, a three-wheeled vehicle to be manufactured in Shreveport, won't have to wear helmets.
The Louisiana House gave final passage to the bill by Shreveport Rep. Barbara Norton with a 90-1 vote Tuesday, sending it to the governor's desk.
Because the Elio has three wheels, it's considered a motorcycle under federal and state safety regulations.
Norton's bill modifies the definition of autocycle to include enclosed motorcycles with a roll cage. That change means Elio occupants won't have to wear helmets or get a special "M'' endorsement on their driver's license as required of motorcyclists.
Officials with Elio Motors, located in the former General Motors plant in Shreveport, said the helmet requirement could harm sales.
A Covington lawmaker's bill seeking to reject the federal health care overhaul championed by President Barack Obama failed to win passage Tuesday in the Louisiana House.
The proposal (House Bill 429) by Republican Rep. Paul Hollis would have amended the Louisiana Constitution to include a prohibition of any law that requires a person or health care provider from participating in a health system and to say a person couldn't be fined for not participating.
Those are requirements included in the federal Affordable Care Act.
Hollis said he didn't propose the measure as a partisan issue. He described the federal health care revamp as a bad idea and his bill as preserving the rights of individuals and families.
"What this amendment does is allow the people of Louisiana to have their voice heard," he said.
Critics including the leader of the House Democratic Caucus, Rep. John Bel Edwards, said the state couldn't nullify a federal act that has been found constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The House voted 54-40 for Hollis' bill. It needed 70 votes to pass. It also would have required support from voters in a statewide election, if it received backing from two-thirds of the House and Senate.
Hollis can try to bring the issue back up, but time is running short. The legislative session must end by June 6.
Home-based bakers, who sell their cakes or cookies from their houses, would be exempt from some state licensing regulations, under a bill approved by a House committee on Tuesday.
The measure, proposed by Sen. Rick Ward, D-Port Allen, would free people who bake from their homes from sanitation rules that require the purchase of commercial grade equipment. It's the same exemption already given to makers of jams, jellies, preserves, honey and honeycomb products.
They still would have to follow sanitary codes for cleanliness, Ward said.
"The main objective is to keep them from having to purchase expensive equipment," he said.
Critics raised concerns about food-borne illnesses and food safety.
The committee approved the bill (Senate Bill 18) in a 9-8 vote, sending it to the full House for debate. It already has the backing of the Senate.

text: I agree with you somewhat AG. I like it better when noone picks us to win. But everyone fell for the hype and I think the players did somewhat. Eli looked the least comfortable he did last night in the pocket. We had 0 pass rush. It was a pathetic showing on national TV.

I have supers on several hives already which is about 2-3 weeks earlier than normal. I actually think "normal" has been too late but I've followed the direction of mentors in several years past and did what they do.
I've been keeping bees for 4 years now and will start putting supers on as I did this year.
I noticed all my hives are working a lot and bees are everywhere. All the hives have a very distinctive aroma that I can't seem to put my finger on. I know I've smelled this same aroma before though.
Currently the biggest nectar source is Red (Swamp?) Maple. A lot of dandelion too but not nearly enough to impact the amount of nectar.
Anyone know if Red Maple nectar is aromatic?

The other day (3 days ago, about) I transferred two capped brood and bees frames from an Italian hive to a Russian hive. Today, I went to check on them and found several initial emergency cells and swarm cells. The queen seemed to be killed. This was a darn good queen. I don't know what possessed me to transfer frames with bees on them. Lessons learned, I guess.
Question, how come her bees did not protect, or defended her from the new bees?? Do you think if I had isolated those frames from their main hive for a day, would have made those bees more acceptance of the new queens? I am in zone 6b, elevation 1100 ft and I know it is too lake for queens to mate. There are no drones and the queens breeder for my area are done for the season. I guess that hive is a goner. Has any body overwintered a hive with a virgin queen? Is it possible?

Hello everyone
I have been reading alot on this site. I have purchase a package last year and it was so dry and I was wondered if they have enought honey to last through winter and the winter here (Utah) was so cold this year, I thought they probably all dead, but to my surprise last saturday the temper hit 50 F the first time and I saw my bee coming out. I was so excite that they made it. Since this is the only hive I have and I will be going to split them, but still don't know how to split them. Should I do a walk away split or buy another queen. Any advice is greatly appreciate.

In an unfavorable economic climate, what do choreographers need? They must have exceptional talent and skill, of course. But they must also attract superior dancers to perform their works, along with generous sponsors and ample audiences. They need a kind of Magnetic Force.
New York-based dance-maker Doug Varone's charisma will be evident at Merrill Auditorium on Wednesday, February 16, when Portland Ovations presents his company, Doug Varone and Dancers. Varone's aesthetic versatility and entrepreneurial drive have sustained his choreographic career for nearly 25 years — a remarkable accomplishment in the world of American dance. His company of seven dancers will perform two compelling works: Lux (2006), and the brand-new Chapters From a Broken Novel (2010).
Chapters is particularly interesting for Maine audiences because it is the fruit of efforts to make contemporary dance visible year-round, coordinated by Aimée Petrin of Portland Ovations and Laura Faure, director of the Bates Dance Festival. The two collaborated to support Varone's newest work in both its creative process and its public performances. Chapters From a Broken Novel is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation Fund Project co-commissioned by the Bates Dance Festival, Portland Ovations, San Francisco Performances, the University of Akron, and NPN.
Doug Varone and Dancers have returned frequently to Maine since first performing at Bowdoin College in 1989. In residence on the Bates campus for the sixth time during the summer of 2010, Varone and his company taught classes and put the finishing touches on Chapters of a Broken Novel. Each of the 21 short sections that comprise the dance is inspired by one of thousands of quotations Varone has collected over the years from books, articles, fortune cookies, and overheard conversations. For example, the section titled Glass springs from a line from the classic song "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" by Crosby, Stills, and Nash: "Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now."
These "chapters" may be performed separately or as an evening-length whole. Two were shown on stage at Bates last August. The Portland performance will assemble 14 of them. This disjointed "novel" (as incoherent, yet meaningful as our own lives) offers an assortment of characters interacting in various situations. Inventing stories about them and imagining a larger narrative arc for the entire series is part of the fun, and viewers' versions might, or might not, coincide with the original plotlines. Chapters embraces "the rawness of life" — the poignant, comedic, hectic, bitter, and beautiful vitality of existence.
Varone's captivating brand of contemporary dance exhibits twin characteristics — one formal, the other emotional. As a choreographer he plays with large-scale spatial and temporal relationships: the dancers' complex interweaving paths, near-misses, and sudden shifts in timing can be interpreted loosely as the changing dynamics of human relationships. Simultaneously, small-scale gestures, expressive of individuals' emotional states, fascinate him.
The music for this new work motivates and reflects the dances' range and vitality. David Van Tieghem, a prolific award-winning percussionist and sound designer, composed the score.

As I wrote more than 2 years ago, the network tools (often referred as net-tools)
netstat and
route that should be familiar to anyone that has worked with a terminal, have been deprecated in favour of the iproute2 suite from some years.
iproute2 is intended to replace this entire suite of legacy Unix networking tools that were previously used for the tasks of configuring network interfaces, routing tables, and managing the ARP table, but which have not been developed since 2001.
You can find some examples of the usage of the iproute commands on my articles about:
– Policy routing
– Socket Statistics on Linux
– MAC Address Managment on Linux
And today I want to share with you some of the most useful commands that you can use with this "new" suite of commands and the translation of some old commands that we were all used to use on the terminal.

While the furore over topless snaps of Kate Middleton continues apace, there's no shortage of punditry when it comes to weighing in on the scandal.
Step forward business mogul Donald Trump, who's no shrinking violet when it comes to dispensing his opinions.
"Kate Middleton is great - but she shouldn't be sunbathing in the nude - only herself to blame," Trump tweeted yesterday.
He then added: "Who wouldn't take Kate's picture and make lots of money if she does the nude sunbathing thing. Come on Kate!"
Trump also chimed in on the scandal on US TV show Fox and Friends, saying: "While we're all fans of Kate, can you imagine why she would ever be out in the nude?
"Why would she be standing in the nude in a swimming pool or wherever she was. She's Kate. It's terrible what they did, it's terrible to take pictures, but boy, how can you do a thing so stupid?"
He continued: "Well, the Harry thing you can almost say he was less ... his security did a pretty bad job. But to be outside at a swimming pool without a top on and you're Kate ... you know. Maybe they can stop it but it is a very, very foolish thing she did."
According to the Daily Mail, the snaps in question were allegedly taken from over a half-mile away while Kate was sunning herself with husband William.
Laurence Pieau, the editor-in-chief of Closer magazine that published topless photos of the duchess, claims that the terrace of the villa where Kate and Wills were snapped sunbathing was "visible from the street".
The photos were taken "by a professional photographer with whom we have previously worked," she added. The snapper in question is now reportedly in hiding.
She also described the fallout as an "over-reaction" from critics and the royal household.
"There's been an over-reaction to these photos. What we see is a young couple, who just got married, who are very much in love, who are splendid," Pieau told French BFM television earlier this week.
"She's a real 21st century princess," she added: "It's a young woman who is topless, the same as you can see on any beach in France or around the world."
Shortly after the images were published, a royal spokesman described the photographs as a "grotesque invasion of privacy".
"Their Royal Highnesses had every expectation of privacy in the remote house. It is unthinkable that anyone should take such photographs, let alone publish them," said a St James' Palace official, adding: "The incident is reminiscent of the worst excesses of the press and paparazzi during the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, and all the more upsetting to the Duke and Duchess for being so."
Wills and Kate also announced they were launching legal action against Closer.
"St James' Palace confirms that legal proceedings for breach of privacy have been commenced today in France by The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge against the publishers of Closer Magazine France," the royals said in a statement.
Sarah Ferguson says she has "total sympathy" for Kate in the wake of the topless photo scandal.
Fergie, the Duchess of York, pledged her support for the royal after topless snaps of the partially-clad Duchess of Cambridge were published in the French edition of Closer, Italian magazine Chi and the Irish Daily Star.
Ferguson can no doubt relate to Kate's situation.
The former royal was photographed topless while sunbathing - and having her toes sucked by US businessman John Bryan - at a remote villa in the South of France back in 1992.
Her poolside high jinks, published by the Daily Mirror, signalled the end of her marriage to Prince Andrew. The estranged pair divorced in 1996.
Speaking to the Daily Mail while on a promotional tour in the US for her latest children's book, Ballerina Rosie, Ferguson offered her take on the latest snaps scandal.
"I have total empathy and sympathy for her [Kate]," she said. "I have been there and know what it's like. Everyone is entitled to privacy. It is a devastating invasion of one's personal inner space. It is deplorable, abhorrent and despicable."
She concluded, "She is a beautiful young woman doing a great job for the country. Why should she be stripped of that moment with her husband?"
But while Fergie's words of sympathy will no doubt register on Kate's radar, rumour has it they've rattled a certain member of the royal household.
According to scandal sheet RadarOnline, Prince Phillip is "furious" with Ferguson.
"Prince Phillip is seething with Sarah Ferguson for poking her nose into the Kate Middleton topless picture affair," a source told the website.
"As far as he's concerned, she has absolutely no right to speak about the royals, considering she hasn't been one since 1996 and knows nothing about what is going on - remember she wasn't even invited to the wedding!" the source added.
Ferguson was not invited to the wedding of William and Kate in April 2011.
"Phillip thinks Sarah felt the need to compare Kate's topless scandal to her own in 1992 - just to grab a little bit of publicity. It's something he thinks she did to appear more favourable in the public eye.
"He thinks she will do anything to save face and get attention, and Phillip has slammed her to other family members," the source concluded.
Kelly Osbourne has also come out in support of Kate.
Speaking on UK TV show Lorraine, the E! Fashion Police co-host labelled the decision to run the snaps of The Duchess of Cambridge as "disgusting".
"I think what they've done to her is disgusting, I really, really do," she said. "Everyone has the right to privacy no matter who you are, no matter who you are - it's disgusting.
"The thing is I don't get it is if she had a tan line they would rinse her for it, so she can't win either way so I just think it's really awful.
"The one thing that is hers is her body you know what I'm saying. Everything else belongs to the country."
Meanwhile, as the royal couple soldier on and continue their nine-day Southeast Asia and Pacific tour, E! News has published details of William's reaction to the publication of the topless photos.
"As you can imagine, William was upset about the situation," the website quotes Us Weekly's European bureau chief Omid Scobie, who was on the royals' trip, as saying.
"For the rest of Kuala Lumpur it was clear William was angry," said Scobie. "The news of the scandal had really got to him. He was not as comfortable as he has been on previous occasions. When he was around the press, especially the photographers, he had clenched fists and gritted teeth. He was not comfortable being exposed."
Shortly after the snaps came to light, Britain's Mirror tabloid reported that William had been the one to call in lawyers to sue French Closer.
"I don't want what happened to my mother to happen to my wife," William reportedly told his aides, while demanding police find who took the photos.
"I want them jailed," the tabloid quoted the royal as telling his pals.
"For the next day or so [after the news broke] William and Kate travelled from Malaysia to the Solomon Islands," Scobie said, "and it was during this time that the palace really managed to get a handle on things. They had started proceedings against the French magazine and knew exactly what their plan of action was.
"Once William and Kate knew that it was under control, they came to the conclusion that they were going to do their best to not think about it anymore. The royal motto is, 'Stay calm and carry on,' and that's exactly what they did," he continued.
"In the Soloman Islands they were feeling much better. The crowds that came out to greet them were overwhelming, there was so much love there for them and that really helped lift their spirits. They definitely looked to be feeling much more comfortable because everything was under control. Hopefully justice will be served."
The editor of the Irish Daily Star, Michael O'Kane, has been suspended over his decision to publish topless photographs of Kate, BBC News reports.
Independent Star, which co-owns the paper with Northern & Shell, released a statement announcing the suspension.
"Independent Star Limited has suspended editor Michael O'Kane with immediate effect, pending an investigation into the circumstances that led to the Irish Daily Star re-publishing pages from the French magazine Closer, which contained images of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge," the statement read.
"Independent Star Limited has no further comment pending conclusion of the joint investigation by the newspaper's shareholders."
The Dublin-based tabloid ran a blurry reproduction of the pages from Closer over two inside pages in its Ireland edition on Saturday.
Earlier, O'Kane defended his newspaper, saying that he was "taken aback" by reaction to the story in the UK.
"The Duchess would be no different to any other celeb pics we would get in, for example Rihanna or Lady Gaga," he said.
"She's not the future queen of Ireland so really the only place this is causing fury seems to be in the UK, and they are very tasteful pictures."
He said the newspaper ran the pictures as a "service to our readers".

Do you know what weight it is? I have never used that brand so I do know. I know that if I use a 30wt (which is my favorite) I go up to a 100. If my thread is a 40wt, I use a 90. I am no expert mind you. This is just what works for me.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Do you know what weight it is? I have never used that brand so I do know. I know that if I use a 30wt (which is my favorite) I go up to a 100. If my thread is a 40wt, I use a 90. I am no expert mind you. This is just what works for me.
Try a different brand of thread and see if that makes a difference. Sometimes the C & C doesn't work like it should for FMQ.
Two things...
First, are your practice pieces the same weight as your quilt? Are you practicing with the same batting and thread? If not, it could still be a tension issue.
Otherwise, try slowing down! If I move the quilt (my hands) too quickly through a curve I get nests on the back. So I chant it like a mantra: "Slow. Slow." Seems to help me a lot.
Good luck!
PS - C&C might indeed be the problem. However, my machine loves C&C and HATES Aurifil. Experiment!
Sounds like a tension problem IMO if you've done all the usual - changed your needle, thread, re-threaded top and bottom and are keeping an even speed (particularly on turns) and the weight not dragging anywhere.
I was taught that if the problem is on the bottom it's your top tension - similarly if it's on top, it's your bottom tension. Good luck!
Lang may yer lum reek. (I'm a knitter - hence - 'Knit-ette'. Confuses a lot of people!)
Make sure the presser foot is down. Seems silly, but it's not always obvious and is easy to forget about. Also make sure the bobbin tension isn't too lose. Often it just pops out of the bobbin hole but still gets fed through anyway with no tension, sewing a mess in the process. As you keep practicing, you'll be able to hear when your machine has one of these hiccups and be better able to deal with it.
Don't give up!
We couldn't all be cowboys, so some of us are clowns.
My best results are with an embroidery needle. I also have good luck with polyester thread. Goes against my cotton roots, but oh, well! Whatever works!
I had the same problem... Finally figured out that I wasn't supporting the quilt enough and I needed to slow down just a bit to let the machine do its thing. Be patient, keep going... Once you master this - you will be glad you did.
I got fabric.... Now I need time .
Is it everywhere or just on the curves? If it's just on the curves, you are going too fast! Also I agree with the posters who suggested better support of the quilt.
"I do not understand how anyone can live without one small place of enchantment to turn to."
Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
Ok i tried a different needle, 90/14 and my thread is a 30 weight i managed to do almost a whole row before i got a snaging mess. i can hear when it happens so it seems like the bobbin is doing a spin. my quilt top is supported and i slowed down my machine, i can see on some of the curves i have little eyelashes. i am still waiting on the bobbin washers i hope that helps.
Patti P
Enjoy the creative process
I've also found that the difference in weight of a sample piece versus the entire quilt really changes the dynamic of moving the quilt around as well as highlights tension issues.
Cheers, K

Re: Bread Pudding (Fhotos)
The way I've always done it (and had it served) is keeping the bread in large triangles (just cut the slices in half diagonally then again, to make 4 triangles) and arrange them in standing-up rows so the tips poke out so they go a bit crisp. That way you have a contrast in textures. Mine tends to be reasonably dry, as in there's no great deal of sauce that puddles out, but that's intentional so I can justify the copious amounts of custard I get through...

The granddaughter of a woman killed by a texting driver in Hastings last year is bravely fronting a blitz campaign against those who continue to flout the law.
Helen Small's grandmother, 93-year-old Phyllis Penman, died last year after being run down by a texting driver on a pedestrian crossing outside the Hawke's Bay Hospital.
Since the death, which Mrs Small said devastated the close, tight-knit family, she has dedicated her time to raising awareness against the illegal habit and joined frontline officers cracking down on drivers blatantly using mobile phones while driving.
This week and last, Mrs Small joined the region's police in a crackdown on texting drivers that has so far netted more than 20 law breakers, Road Policing Eastern District acting Senior Sergeant Clint Adamson said.
"We decided nationally to do a push on cellphones," he said. "It was clear after the law change people started doing the right thing, but it has slowly started to creep back in and people are using them more and more again.
"We want to push that cellphones shouldn't be used and decided locally that we wanted the face of that to be Helen. Since her grandmother died, she has been very passionate about it off her own back."
Since the death of her grandmother, Mrs Small has started her own campaign called Textoff, and on top of a lobby to the telecommunications sector urging them to push stronger warnings to consumers, has conducted many of her own roadside surveys.
"She was just so healthy and fit and absolutely amazing for her age, so to be taken out like that was extremely hard," she said.
"Our family was just devastated by what we had to go through and it's very, very hard to describe. It is just such a dangerous thing to do and there is just no need for it - there is just no text message or cellphone call that is that urgent someone has to lose their life for it."
During the two-week blitz, Mrs Small stands at a vantage point and when she sees a driver using their mobile phone alerts police waiting down the road.
"It is disappointing that there are still quite a few people prepared to do it and who have been observed quite clearly looking down texting away," Mr Adamson said. "They are quite clearly not focussing on what's going on around them.
"We applaud her efforts in wanting to help support the road safety message after the tragedy her family had, and to come out and do something positive."
The operation has also detected more than 50 people not wearing seatbelts, and Mr Adamson said the results were disappointing and expected to rise.

"English Studies as Creole Scholarship: A Post-Colonial Perspective." Dr. Suresh Canagarajah. The shifts underway in contemporary social conditions call for a new alignment between the main specializations constituting English Studies: namely, literature, applied linguistics, and rhetoric and composition. The postcolonial condition has generated new language, textual, and literary practices. They bring to the fore practices that have always characterized communication, but overlooked in English Studies. Influenced by modernist values, English Studies took on a trajectory that isolated the object of analysis in order to identify the finite rules that capture the core of communicative practices. Postcolonial communicative conditions draw attention to liminalities, flows, and mixtures that require a situated, multimodal, and multisensory understanding of languages and texts, and the plurality of meanings that emerge from a negotiation of diverse contexts.
To understand such language practices, students and scholars have to draw from all three specializations and practice a creole scholarship.
