Australia's trade deficit has widened to the equal largest shortfall in 18 months as exports led by metal ores and minerals fell 5 per cent, increasing speculation the economy slowed sharply in the second quarter.
The trade gap widened to $1.9 billion in May from a revised $760 million in April, the Australian Bureau of Statistics reported on Wednesday. The deficit confounded economists' forecast for a $190 million shortfall.
The slump in exports in May suggests the number one driver of economic growth in the first quarter – a surge in shipments of iron ore, gas and other resources – has stalled. Both the Reserve Bank of Australia and Treasury have foreshadowed weaker gains in exports after a stellar first quarter.
While export volumes are growing thanks to mine investments and new railways and ports, there are likely to be more modest increases in shipments in coming quarters, Reserve Bank governor Glenn Stevens said on Tuesday, after keeping the official cash rate at a record-low 2.5 per cent for a 10th straight meeting.
The trade figures are also likely to increase anxiety about what will replace the resources boom as a source of growth for the economy, which is expected to remain below average for the next year.
Commodity prices have fallen sharply in recent months, squeezing incomes and profits at resources companies despite higher volumes of shipments.
Exports fell in May by 5 per cent to $26.7 billion, while imports edged down 1 per cent to $28.6 billion.
Metal ores and minerals shipments dropped 9 per cent, while "other minerals fuels" were 13 per cent lower. Farm goods dropped 2 per cent.
The dollar was trading at US94.66¢, down from around US94.84¢ ahead of the data.

Whether her image appears on votive candles, a muscle-bound back or a cathedral wall overlooking the Hollywood Freeway, La Virgen de Guadalupe's influence is witnessed daily in Los Angeles.
For Catholics, and even some non-Catholics, she has become a champion of causes and pursuits both spiritual and social, a mother figure for Mexico and the Americas - both Tonantzin, the mother-God of the Aztecs, and Mary, the mother of Jesus.
As the faithful celebrate her feast day today, that presence continues to resonate 475 years after what they believe was her miraculous appearance to the Indian Juan Diego in Mexico City.
And in L.A., a city named in her honor, she has become "a symbol of hope and faith," as Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa described her at a recent performance about her apparition at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels attended by thousands.
"To immigrants in particular, she represents someone who is going to raise them up and really bring them to a better place," said the Rev. Paul Sustaya, who serves at two L.A. parishes and helped plan Cardinal Roger Mahony's liturgy for this week's services dedicated to La Virgen.
Despite originating in Mexico, the story of Juan Diego's ascension to sainthood from such humble beginnings appeals to more than just those of Mexican descent, including here in Southern California, where roughly 70 percent of the Los Angeles Archdiocese's estimated 5 million Catholics are Latinos.
"The president of our Guadalupano Society (at Holy Cross Church) is Nicaraguan," said Sustaya, who wrote his thesis about La Virgen while earning his master's degree from Boston College in 2000. "And we have others that are from Guatemala and who you would think are Mexicans the way they love Guadalupe."
In the story, the Virgin Mary appears to Juan Diego as a dark-skinned Indian and asks him to encourage the bishop to build a church in her honor so everyone will know she's the mother of God and available to all.
When she came to the United States from Mexico 33 years ago, Lupe Lomeli was looking for a Catholic church. She found Saint Didacus Church in Sylmar, and when she walked in and saw La Virgen, she knew she was home - a sentiment shared by many Catholic immigrants.
"You're somewhere alone," she said. "You're not in your own home. You don't know about your future. Without someone like her, without someone that's important in your life, you would be lost."
Saint Didacus Monsignor Peter Amy reminds his parishioners that La Virgen is the patron saint of all the Americas. At its event in her honor last year, he said, the church displayed dozens of flags representing the nations of the Americas, as well as the Philippines, where she is also the patron saint.
"We are many nations and many languages, but we are one faith," Amy said.
Beyond religion, her symbol has historically been used for political strength as well. In the 1960s, Cesar Chavez and other Chicano leaders emulated the Rev. Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla and other Mexican revolutionary heroes and used the image of La Virgen as a source of inspiration in their own political and social battles.
And for women, those movements inspired other interpretations of La Virgen, including a more feminist approach to the traditional matriarch.
"(La Virgen) is a multifaceted symbol. She's a symbol of revolution in the labor movement, but she has also been used to suppress women's power," said Lara Medina, who teaches history and religion in the Chicano/a Studies Department at California State University, Northridge. "So younger women have had to look at her image and in order to keep it alive, they have had to keep it meaningful in their lives ... to kind of release her from the shackles that patriarchy has kept her under."
Even for gang members, the story of La Virgen hits home because it is really about the story of Juan Diego, a poor, insignificant Indian - an outcast, much like them, said the Rev. Gregory Boyle.
"It's about this person who describes himself as nothing," said Boyle, executive director of Homeboy Industries, a program that helps reform gang members by employing them. "There's the connection of reaching out to this marginalized, most left-out person, and that's the person chosen. People relate to that."
Boyle said many of the homeboys he deals with have tattoos of La Virgen, but it doesn't always lead to healthy, spiritual behavior.
"You're always trying to get them to internalize the outward," he said.
That's not to say some don't go through their own Juan Diego-like transformations.
"There was a kid coming to get his gang tattoos removed," Boyle said. "But there was a big Virgen de Guadalupe tattoo on his back - and that wasn't going anywhere."

Our Lady of Guadalupe prayer
God of power and mercy, you blessed the Americas at Tepeyac with the presence of the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe.
May her prayers help all men and women to accept each other as brothers and sisters.
Through your justice present in our hearts, may your peace reign in the world.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Three Drinks to Lower Blood Pressure
What you can add to your diet for lower blood pressure.
Three Cheers for Better Blood Pressure7 Foods to Lower Your Blood Pressure
1. Low- or Nonfat Milk
Both supply potassium and calcium, two nutrients that are associated with healthy blood pressure, and are fortified with vitamin D—a vitamin that new research suggests promotes healthy blood pressure. Substituting low-fat dairy—including milk—for full-fat versions may also help lower blood pressure, reports a 2009 study in the British Journal of Nutrition. In healthy people, arteries are "elastic": they relax (widen) and constrict (narrow) to keep blood pressure within a normal range. Full-fat dairy contains significant amounts of palmitic acid (much more than low-fat dairy), which can block signals that relax blood vessels, leaving them in a constricted state that may keep blood pressure elevated, explains study author Estefanía Toledo, M.D., Ph.D., of the University of Navarra, Spain.Next: 2.

Just thought Mavala did diddy little nail polishes? think again the brand has a whole range of make up items which include these vitamin E enriched lip glosses (£10.25). The glosses contain grape seed oil which nourish and keep lips soft.
Mavala Lip Gloss come in an array of fruity colours I tried Blackcurrent, Grapefruit and Bubble Gum. All the shades are quite pigmented so need to use a lipstick underneath as the colours really pop on their own.
The Mavala glosses are also sugar free, we eat up to 7 pounds of lipstick in a life time so I guess this is a good thing!
|Bubble Gum
The Mavala Lip Gloss has quite good staying power due to the hyper pigmentation, I genuinely like all the shades so can't pick a must have for you, so try them all!

Technical Abstract: US rice imports consist of approximately 80 percent aromatic types. Although they are a much sought after type of rice, little is known about the component, 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP), which impacts their popcorn like aroma. The efforts to breed, produce, store and process aromatic rice could be refined from understanding the chemistry of 2-AP. Several aromatic crice samples were separated into fractions ranging from brown rice to over milled rice. The 2-AP was found to exist primarily in an evenly distributed fashion throughout the endosperm. Exposure to several solvents indicated that 2-AP is associated with the bound lipid fraction of rice. 2-AP is primarily located in the endosperm portion of the rice kernel and may be associated with the bound lipid fraction.

The Hidden MemoryWhile D'Argo, Zhaan and a fully-recovered Aeryn head down to the Gammak Base to rescue Crichton, Moya starts going into labour with Chiana and Rygel's help. They discover the baby isn't a normal Leviathan: it's a Peacekeeper hybrid, which doesn't need a pilot, is armed with powerful weapons and is wild and difficult to control. Meanwhile, on the Gammak Base, Scorpius is interrogating Crichton in the Aurora Chair, having realised that Crichton is attempting to conceal a particular memory. Scorpius continues to push, believing the hidden memory to be something about wormholes, but Crichton is actually trying to conceal Gilina's identity. Gilina comes up with a plan to give Crichton a respite by tricking the Aurora Chair into displaying a false memory: when Crichton gives in and thinks about Gilina, the Aurora Chair shows a fictional encounter between him and Crais, in which they make a deal to give Crais wormhole technology. Scorpius uses his absolute authority to put Crais in the Aurora Chair and discovers that Crais' murdered one of his Lieutenants. However, the interrogation is cut short when Aeryn breaks Crichton out of his cell and a security lockdown is announced. Stark manages to escape on his own, but Aeryn, Gilina and Crichton need to find a senior officer's ident chip to get out of the lockdown. Aeryn finds Crais, still in the Aurora Chair: she takes his chip and confronts him over his decision to declare her "irreversibly contaminated", a proclamation that destroyed her life.
- Aeryn: You destroyed everything. I lost everything because of you! ... Do you know what I learned when I was away from you? Everything I lost isn't worth a damn. And I don't want to go back to your past.
- Crichton: It was only about the time I kissed a girl. ... What were you keeping from him?

Agency MRM set up a WiFi hotspot at Stockholm Central Station, naming it "Looking for WiFi?". When people connected to the network they were redirected to a web page pointing them in the direction of the local 3 Store and suggesting it was about time they got their own Wi-Fi. The message included product information and directions to the store. 3 isn't the first brand to hijack the Wi-Fi signal in Sweden; last summer agency The Fan Club created a campaign for magazine reseller Tisdam that encouraged commuters to buy magazines instead. However, with a product that's directly Wi-Fi related, its chances of reaching its target audience look good. Rate this Ad You must be registered to rate the ad.

"If all the people who will come for the sale had shopped here before then we wouldn't be closing," says Gabrielle Smith, a Daimaru veteran who works in intimate apparel and has been there since the first day.
According to Daimaru operations director Dennis Hirschfield more than $20 million of stock has to be cleared, every last stitch and perfume bottle, as well as all the fittings and fixtures from the store and its warehouse. Only the contract shops within the store with other outlets around Melbourne and Australia will not be virtually throwing goods out.
On the shop floor last week, there was little to suggest the frenzy to come. Indeed, the date of the sale had been a closely guarded secret kept even from workers until yesterday's announcement. There were no boxes stacked high with goods, no extra registers, and staff were still turning up to the Melbourne Central store at the usual time and offering that "something extra" service that often set Daimaru apart.
Yet even amid this seeming normality, something had gone already. A feeling of temporariness had invaded the store, and the atmosphere had become tinged with a sense of resignation and sadness, as if the building itself had somehow recognised that life was fast seeping out it. The floor didn't seem so polished, the walls had begun to look suddenly old for their time, and the open floor plan seemed to have created a feeling of emptiness rather than roominess.
Mr Hirschfield said top priority had been given to security for the sale and training administrative staff to use the extra cash registers that are being shipped in from the Gold Coast store, which closed in January. "It is basically going to be all hands on deck," he said.
Opening hours will be extended by about three hours over the first three days of the sale with extra security guards and staff rostered for longer hours. The trick then will be for bargain hunters to plan their strategy.
"It can become more like a gamble," Mr Hirschfield said. "When do I buy in? Do I wait till they drop (the price) again, and if they drop it again, is it still going to be there?"
One thing is certain: from July 31, the store with the managerial principle of "service before profit", which began in 1717 as a kimono shop in the ancient Japanese city of Kyoto, will no longer be there in Melbourne.

Christmas Crime Is Beauty
John Waters is a gentleman, and so its unlikely that he will throw a Christmas tree at anyone who fails to gift him with a pair of cha-cha heels when he comes to Scottsdale. But the legendary filmmaker (Pink Flamingos, Hairspray) is certain to at least mention that infamous scene in his Female Trouble, in which Divine kills her parents with a giant spruce when they forget to buy her the dancing shoes she asked Santa for. Waters yuletide monologue covers everything from his fanatical love of La Claus and his collection of holiday horror stories to his love of giving (and receiving!) perverted Xmas gifts.
Its not really Christmas until youve heard John Waters dissemble about the joys of ho-ho-hoing in A John Waters Christmas, so head to Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts.

Mayama is scary >.<...
God… he really is a stalker. I don't really know whether to be happy or to be scared with him, but well, he did it with good intentions.
So, for the Mayama x Rika fans, this is _the_ episode. Finally, Mayama makes his move to Rika and confronts her about her intentions to die after completing all of Harada's projects. Hopefully, he did made Rika change her mind for real (she could've faked the email, since ol' Mayama revealed his stalker self :), and I hope for a good ending between those two.
Rika's past is revealed a little here, like how she had a dog, and she might've probably suffered as a child, based on what Harada says(or it's a mistranslation). It's only a small assumption though, and I might probably be wrong.
Hanamoto-sensei's past is also told a little as well, basically touching on why Moon River became Rika's favourite song, and how he and Rika dealt with Harada's death. It is quite correct that he was something like a third wheel in their group and I was quite shocked at his revelation that he almost tried to push Rika off a building, explaining why they rarely see each other.
Next, we jump back to Yamada and Nomiya again. It seems that J.C. Staff will be resolving all the threads with this 13 episodes.

Turbulentia - EP
Label: Fuselab
Release Date: Sep-01-2012
Graciellita is an alias of a young pretty girl producer from Canada. Her name is Graciella and that's a pretty straight-forward situation upon naming, she thinks, but suggests that she'd pay rather more attention to the creative process than naming. And that's right - the music you hear is really authentic. "Creative" is the goal here.
Graciella works it all out by herself, which is pretty curious as well. IDM-ish percs, subtle layers, helium vox and quite complex arrangements - all this comes out of her little pretty head at once. Sometimes dark and twisted, sometimes thrilling and cold, sometimes simply shine, but always interesting and lush. Classic brain-spinning stuff.

Tommy vs. Ben
Great fight for Tommy, and a lot of heart from both fighters. I don't think I've ever seen someone pull out of an armbar that deep before and in all honesty I don't think I want to again. To come out of that nasty armbar and fall straight into a pretty good triangle and to pull out of that too, man impressed isn't even the word. I think Dana is right on that if Tommy can get in with a good camp the sky is the limit. And Ben, would he have won if he wasn't sick? I don't think so, but it is definitely possible. So, what were your thoughts on these two fighters coming into this fight and what is your opinion of them coming out of it?
i was more impressed with the armbar resistance than i was with tommy escaping the triangle. it was a good triangle, but tommy's positioning allowed him to slide out. You can tell from the instant ben catches him with it that tommy is just gonna pull out. not that any of it mattered... tommy didnt do anything from the top. Ben was pulling submissions out of his a$$ from the bottom.
i dunno. seems like most of the wreslters fighting these days take the sean sherk approach to fighting.
Well I didn't really care for this fight all that much. Tommy did have some nice takedowns but he didn't really do much GnP. Ben had some nice sub moves going for him. I cant believe that the ref didnt stop it on that armbar cus it was sick. All in all I thought it was kinda boring but thats just my thought.
I officaly HATE wrestlers. And I was a wrestler. Props to Tommy for staying cool and keeping his head in the game but damimt, I'm sick of these wrestlers getting in there, continualy taking a guy down a dry humpimg them for 10/15 minutes. I do not want to see Tommy anymore. I would rather see Ben fight again even though he lost. Take downs are easy. You should not get points for a atakedown ffs.
Hmmm....looks like I am the only one so far that acutally thought it was an entertaining fight?
I really thought that Tommy stayed very busy most of the time. There were lapses here and there but not as bad as several of the other fights. For an amatuer/close to pro fighter (my own class...don't crucify me..ha)I was impressed w/the way he held his wits during that arm bar. That thing was sunk in hard but not once did it look like he was gonna do anything but fight out of it.That's why Mazagatti let 'em go. He was watching Speers eyes the whole time (I have always thought Steve was one of the best refs in the Octagon). The triangle was not such a total threat but still...one wrong move and he could have been caught. Tommy did in fact land some pretty solid shots (even while in a pretty decent guard from Ben). He also kept Ben totally out of being able to even mount an attack (although Ben did anticipate that immediate shoot when the 3rd started...Speers is lucky that knee missed).
All in all I really see Speers being the type of guy who can duke it out, take it to the ground, GnP, pretty much wherever. Does he need some training? Of course he does. Who wouldn't? But he, imo, shows potential to really grow into a very good UFC fighter.
Ben's subs were decent and i respect tommy for not tapping but all in all i wasn't impressed with both of them. They both gassed, ben can't finish a submission because he doesn't know how to arch back with the arm bar to extend it and he can't slide his hips over to square up for the triangle. Tommy can't pass guard. I think with training Ben would actually be the better fighter. I don't think tommy's striking can ever get very good because he isn't built to be a striker.
I cant believe Tommy didnt tap that was locked in at some point, thats two fights in a row where he has been locked in a sub and hasnt tapped, he is tough.
If that ref was Big John he would of stopped the fight because I remeber a fight it was din thomas vs jeremy stephens where Din had a armybar locked in and big john ended the fight before jeremy tapped.

|Cinnamon And Diabetes
But, one must not forget that the results vary from individual to individual, as different people tend to have different resistance power.
Various studies have been conducted in the past to know about the importance of cinnamon. The researchers tried to find out whether there is any use of consuming this spice. But again, the results vary. Though it has been proved that if an individual consumes cinnamon no side effects will be noticed. It is one of the healthiest spices used in our food. So, its consumption does not have any bad effects on the health of an individual.
As far as diabetics are concerned they can consume cinnamon whether it proves beneficial or not.
Modern Perception
So, if a person is relying only on cinnamon to get himself relieved of diabetes, he is living under the wrong notion, as it cannot prove fruitful to Type 1 Diabetes. But, as far as Type 2 Diabetes is concerned, and if it is diagnosed at the early stages, then a person can hope to gain little impetus over the disease though getting completely cured is a difficult task.
If one is consuming cinnamon, one must seek the advice of the doctor frequently as the dose may vary. The consumption of cinnamon should be normal as overdose may result in some complications. One should not stop using cinnamon immediately. It should be reduced slowly. The above stated points should be given due attention as far as the consumption of cinnamon is concerned in case of diabetics.

Man's body found floating in Crooked River
Recovery effort takes seven hours, 25 people
TERREBONNE, Ore. - A report of a body seen floating in the Crooked River Tuesday afternoon triggered a recovery effort that took more than seven hours and over two-dozen personnel, Deschutes County sheriff's deputies said.
Jefferson County dispatchers notified their Deschutes County counterparts of the report around 12:25 p.m., said Deschutes sheriff's Sgt. Troy Gotchy.
Jefferson County deputies responded to the area and confirmed the body was in the river below the railroad crossing at the Ogden Wayside, north of Terrebonne and just west of Highway 97, he said.
Deschutes County deputies and Sheriff's Search and Rescue members responded, along with the Crooked River Ranch Fire Department. Gotchy said more than 25 personnel from SAR and CRR Fire worked for over seven hours to recover the body from the river.
The victim had not been identified by Tuesday evening, and the cause of death was not yet known, Gotchy said. Deschutes County sheriff's detectives are continuing the investigation.
While suicides have occurred over the years from the new and older bridges that span the Crooked River Gorge, the sergeant said it was too early to draw any conclusions. The body did not appear to have been in the river for a long period, Gotchy said, estimating the time at within about a day.

Can an armrest be put into a 07 Focus that was stock w/o one?
Howdy: Apologies upfront if this has already been answered in the forum. I dug around searching the forum and found answers going the opposite direction but didn't find the answer I'm looking for.
I own a 2007 basic Ford Focus Sedan. We're talking manual tranny, no cruise control, manual windows, manual locks, and no middle arm rest. First owner bought it in California, we became the 2nd owners while in Cali, and it has the PZEV emblem on the back. We're assuming it's the "S trim line" but we can't find verification of that anywhere on the car. That was a fun one when the bank loan officer was searching everywhere for the trim line trying to verify the value of the car. [:p]
Anyway, directly behind my E-brake is two shallow cup holders. Basically they're worthless as they're so shallow the drinks just roll out of them on turns. The cup holder is basically a plastic piece that easily comes out.
(Link to Image in Dropbox)
After removed, underneath shows bolts for the middle console. (I assume)
(Link to Image in Dropbox)
Does anyone know if it's possible to pop in a stock Focus armrest into that position? Or does anyone know of an aftermarket armrest that can take that spot? I'm now in the San Antonio, TX area if anyone has any suggestions of local areas where to look.
Thanks in advance for your help.
dont see why you couldnt
I was looking at pictures of armrests on Ebay and it appeared as if the screw holes didn't line up with what mine had. It also looked wider than the space I have. Of course, that could also just be the way the picture was taken.
From my understanding, the armrests are interchangeable from 2000-2007?
iirc correctly you replace the entire section and not just the armrest portion. the only thing that stays is the ebrake and your shifter. (some one else will probably know for sure, im sure you arent the first to swap armrest.) There will be screws holding everthing in on the front cupholders and then the screw you already found on those rears. then you just unscrew your shift knob. the only tricky part is the e-brake, pull it all the way up and then lift everything over it(tight fit)
I went through armrest withdraw initially going from a car with one to the one with out. After driving with out it for a while and then driving my sisters focus with one, i preferred with out better. That center counsel portion is interchangeable from 00-07, havent heard of anyone with issues with them not fitting (manual to manual, auto to auto of course.) Also, some people with manuals get annoyed with the arm rest, saying it gets in the way of the shifter and ebrake.
Also, your car sounds like a base S model. Manual and no power standard, AC was an option at that level. You will also not have a tachometer or ABS.
You have to replace the entire center console in order to have one with an arm rest.
I swapped a non armrest console into our focus. The latch for the compartment was busted and I could not find a replacement. It order to stop the rattling, I got one from the junkyard without an arm rest. I am sure you can do the same in reverse.
I've worked extensively on a 1990 mustang that I own and I've noticed even 17 years later some of the design and layout is the same. A while back I had to pull the middle console over the E-brake on that one and it was a pain.
Thanks again.
center console on a focus is easy peasy. just swap out the whole unit.
This explains the process of removing it in a little more detail:

Focusing on the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and whether its formation of equal protection on the basis of sex extends to transgender individuals, the case carried a unanimous ruling. On December 6th, the federal Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a ruling by a lower court in Glenn's favor, stating the protection does in fact extend. The court drew parallels in the way discrimination is experienced based on both sex and gender, writing, "A person is identified as transgender precisely because of the perception that his or her behavior transgresses gender stereotypes… Accordingly, discrimination against a transgender individual because of her gender-nonconformity is sex discrimination, whether it's described as being on the basis of sex or gender" (Glenn v. Brumby 8-9).
This decision creates a precedent in those states in the district of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, establishing protection for those residing in the area under the new interpretation of the federal law. This decision is a milestone in the fight for equal protections under the law. It is important to remember that though this decision does extend these protections, they are only established in that district. The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) which is currently awaiting action in Congress would explicitly provide these protections on a federal level throughout the US. More information on ENDA can be found at HRC.org.

On April 30 Spencer County residents will have an opportunity to toss unwanted or expired medicines – prescription or otherwise – safely and close to home through a nation-wide drug collection initiative sponsored by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration.
The following case was heard by a Spencer County Grand Jury:
Robert D. Ross, of Shady Lane in Shepherdsville, was indicted March 24 on two class D felony counts of first-degree wanton endangerment when, under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life, he wantonly engaged in conduct that created a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to the occupants of 1170 Dogwood Circle, when he fired a handgun in the direction of the residence.
The following property transfers were recently collected from the Spencer County Clerk's Office:
Geraldine Simpson, Mount Eden to Jill Burgan Whitehouse, Ernest Whitehouse and Johnnie Saunders, Mount Eden, a tract of land near Ky. 636, as described in deed book 237 page 399, $13,200.
The Ray-Harris Company, LLC, Elizabethtown, to James C. Dowden and Marilyn Dowden, Fisherville, lot 28 of Fox Lair Subdivision, as described in deed book 237 page 408, $353,137.53.
The following civil case was heard in Spencer County Circuit Court Jan. 4, 2011, by Judge Donna Dutton:
Country Day Apartments v. Dutchess Price, eviction hearing, judgment in favor of the plantiff.
The following cases were heard in Spencer County District Court Jan. 7, 2011, by Judge Donna Dutton:
Norma L. Stone, speeding 10 miles over the speed limit, pled guilty, state traffic school, $143 court costs.
Sarah Fauber of Riversong Farm taught an SOS class on Becoming Gluten Free on April 9. There were eight attendees.
Shannon Depew, who has lived in Spencer County 7 1/2 years, attended the class to learn more about gluten free eating because she and her daughter have milk allergies. Even though they are doing much better, she suspects a wheat allergy also.
Gluten is a combination of proteins found in grains. Barley, wheat and rye specifically cause a reaction in people who are sensitive to gluten.
It is one of Bloomfield's more significant stories.
It's the intriguing tale of Jereboam Beauchamp and Ann Cook who are buried in each other's arms in the Maple Grove Cemetery.
Before shifting to Basketball Season III – spring recruit signings this week – and before coach carousel rumors, what-ifs and third-guesses carry us away – a few reflections on Seasons I and II.
First, John Calipari leaving Kentucky any time soon is circle talk in Coach Carousel prime time.
Circle Talk is whisper-in-an-ear, run-around gossip based on insufficient facts to support a conclusion. In sports blog parlance – "throw (something) against a wall and sees if it sticks."
The phone calls started in the late afternoon along with posts on fishing related web sites. Some anglers recently witnessed the Fisheries Division of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources collecting smallmouth bass broodstock from Dale Hollow Lake and grew concerned something funny just occurred.
Bluegrass Speedway track promoters David and Anita Ferrell are set to present the 17th Annual Season Opener at the 1/2 mile high-banked Nelson County clay oval Saturday evening with a full racing program for all divisions.
The season opener on April 16 will feature the 44 Auto Mart Super Late Models in a 25-lap, $1,000-to-win feature event. The UMP Modifieds will race for $500-to-win in a 20-lap feature event.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Buckeyes#1, Apr 1, 2009.
got me too. i hate you and i hate april fool's day.
Google april fools Gmail: Google's approach to email
I didn't fall for this one, but I got rick-rolled BADLY on another board today. I had to restart my entire computer... I couldn't even close the browser because it kept popping up with new alerts that would pop up as soon as you closed the previous one. Who could create such witchcraft?
Man I almost had a stroke, dont do that again!!!!!
For those of u who had no idea what day it was, please go apologize to your loved ones for all the birthdays and Christmas' you missed!!!!
You sure it was a rick roll?
I was thinking about it last night and wondering what practical joke news story would be posted here by a forum member as an April Fools joke. When I saw this one I knew what it was and didn't bother to open it till now..... I would have been more intrigue to open it, had it said "Allen Iverson reinjures back and is shutting it down for the season." PTI just pulled a April fools joke that I thought was true when they said that Kentucky had decided to rescind the offer to John Calipari this morining and had decided to give the job back Rick Pitino I am sure the Louisville alumni were caught off guard on this one, before the Mike and Tony said it was an April Fools joke....
Yep... here it is. Open at your own risk. YOU GOT RICK ROLL'D
Don't post stuff like that please.
I ran into something similar to that last week. Had to shut off my computer, restart and then do a complete virus scan, Ad-Aware scan & crap cleaner. Argggh!
Sorry That was conveniently disguised as an ESPN link to me. Of course, you can always see what it actually is at the bottom of your screen, but I never bother to check. I fell for the bait.
S'okay, I munged up the link. In my experience, people click first and read warnings later. I normally work with 20 tabs open at a time, so having to shut down my browser can cost me hours of work.
Eyes this was a weak and dirty trick. I would never stoop to such a low good natured rouse. Christians.
Hey Buck - For the record: You DIDN'T even come close to getting me with this feeble attempt at April foolishness. Prior to logging on to this forum yesterday, I just knew someone was going to try to pull a fast one. I thought for sure it was going to be that prankster BillLaimbeer. Whoever fell for this is a straight-up sucka!
I thought it said Joe re-signing and I thought that was a joke.
Depressed about how the season has gone, I found comfort in at least knowing that Dumars is not resigning. He's not perfect, but he is still my guy. I think it is good for Dumars to get a little dose of national doubt, taste of humility, etc. No doubt he is kicking himself over a few of his moves. He blew it by drafting Darko and he turned that into Stuck. Maybe he can turn this dark cloud into some sunshine soon with a few free agents. I think it will be easier to do it now than the first time he had to do it when the Pistons were the doormat. .... Sorry, I was looking for a reason to post in this thread so a few of you could have your heart stop again, even though you really knew it wasn't true.
Scared the **** out of me. I never saw this thread before. I thought this was made today.

East End Matters...
So let me get this straight, the Department of Education does not have enough money to save teacher's jobs, but it does have enough to increase its budget for technology contracts by a whopping $24 million. The DOE is wringing its hands to find money to test and remediate schools found with toxic levels of PCBs, but it can – as the Daily News put it – "increase payments to high-priced computer consultants." The DOE talks about taking money from principals' "rainy day" funds to, for all we know, possibly even use it for such things as these contracts instead of the children for whom it was saved to help.
In a recent letter to Schools Chancellor Cathie Black, Public Advocate Bill de Blasio decried the increase in the technology contracts, which would increase city expenditures on such consultants to $52 million a year.
"With many New York City Schools already suffering from under-performance and overcrowded classrooms, there is nothing more important for our children's education than keeping teachers in the classroom … , " said de Blasio. "In this challenging budget environment, the last thing our children's education can afford is a system that wastes tax dollars… This type of spending is simply not a priority for ensuring our children receive a quality education."
According to de Blasio, the average salary for a teacher – taking into account seniority and educational background – is $72,000. The public advocate figures that approximately 333 of the threatened 4,675 teacher layoffs could be averted.
In December, New York City's Independent Budget Office (IBO) estimated that the current fiscal year would end with a surplus of almost $1.7 billion. This surplus takes into account additional tax revenues along with projections for higher expenses.
Rockaway has a big stake in this. As reported in last week's Wave, the peninsula is slated to lose 100 teachers if the DOE cuts go through. Some of the east end schools that would be affected are PS 43 on Beach 28 Street and Goldie Maple Academy in Arverne. PS 43 would lose 11 of its 99 teachers and Goldie Maple would lose eight of its 41 teachers.
So with the city looking at that approximately $1.7 billion surplus, the question has to be, why lay off any teachers at all? The mayor points to state budget cuts. But many point out that local layoffs are not necessary.
City Comptroller John Liu said of the proposed layoffs, "The Governor has continued to insist that the state budget he has proposed should not require local layoffs, despite the fact that the mayor has threatened to lay off thousands of teachers and send class sizes skyrocketing, even if the state comes through with major new revenues for the city."
Many groups say the layoffs called for by the mayor and DOE are unnecessary. One such group called Bloomberg's and the DOE's threats of layoffs a scare tactic. The Council of School Supervisors & Administrators said on its website: "We accept Governor Cuomo's contention that New York City, with its $3 billion surplus [due in 2013] and its revenues way above projections, does not need to have any teacher layoffs at all. We also believe that additional funds can be raised by leveling a fair tax on the extremely rich."
The IBO does warn that state cuts in aid to the city could hamper the city's coffers. Still, at this point we shouldn't even be talking such drastic cuts without looking for other methods of funding.
De Blasio has already found one very real way to save teachers' jobs. Axe the consultant increases and save 333 teaching jobs. The IBO points out that Bloomberg's education cuts for 2012 come on the shoulders of general education classrooms. De Blasio suggests that the DOE "examine its administrative budget to identify any superfluous spending that could be used to prevent teacher layoffs. Freezing all non-essential expenditures, such as this [tech] contract, is without a doubt the right place to start."
Our children cannot be in a position to learn if we allow the precious funds that are available to help them in the classroom be used for other purposes. We cannot prepare our children for the future, for the world around them unless they have quality teachers in the classroom and not on the unemployment line. Let the consultants take a cut and leave our teachers in the classrooms.

Where I stayed
D Rose Cottages
We arrived on the outskirts of Vang Vieng and shared a tuk tuk van to the centre. Vang vieng is not a recommended place to visit. It is an area that has been built up due to the popular demand of tubing on the river. There are agents, internet cafes, happy pizza cafes, bars and loads of young half naked children running around. It's gross. Everywhere in Laos, there are signs saying no bikinis on show for women and men to not walk around shirtless. Of course the majority of loser tourists in this place do not respect local traditions, girls can't even be bothered to cover their ass! It makes me angry, but all I can do is continue to follow what I believe is right and true.
Oh also, the place happily serves pizzas and shakes with opium or mushrooms in. So, one understands why an Aussie kid died three weeks ago falling from a bar onto rocks! I was so unsure about coming here, I know Diana was skipping the area but I hoped that if we went tubing early enough, Dave and I could float down the river sober and stay away from these kids that are quite happy to risk their lives, and mainly due to peer pressure than wanting to actually have fun.
Oh no, more ranting!! So Dave and I were dropped in town and randomly bumped into Madison and Jacob. We agreed to meet for dinner. Luckily, I found a guesthouse that is away from the noise and is situated on a large camp site. There are individual wooden cottages that come with a mosquito net! Perfect! All for 4 Euro each! There was also a pool, so we took a dip, although the park was full of loads of Korean pre teens, who found it fascinating watching two very white ginger men act like babies entering a cold swimming pool.
We had a great night with Madison and Jacob. Every restaurant in the town serves the same food, they also have large plasma tvs either showing reruns of Friends or episodes of family guy. I started to notice most of the drunk children have written over their bodies in blue marker pen! I think I munched on a burger. Jacob bought a very cheap bottle of white whiskey that came in an old water bottle. It was pretty strong.
We all agreed to go tubing the next day around 11am.
With the cottage at D Rose was a large comfy king size bed wit proper sheets and a duvet. Just heaven to have a sleep, although my mind was on the Patriots game against the Ravens.
We met Madison and Jacob next morning, paid 60000 kip to hire the large tube and 55000 kip for the experience. We didn't bring much else. They other two brought a massive waterproof bag with water, lotion, camera, clothes etc.
A tuk tuk drives you out to the start, and you gingerly sit in your tube and start floating down the river. Well, you should float, at some points early on, my butt was either stuck on a rock or I simply couldn't find a strong enough current to sweep me down stream. So, in the dry season it take around 3 hours to float down stream, in the wet season, only one hour. Twenty two people died last year in the river. The problem is, there are bars for the first kilometer offering cheap drinks, whiskey buckets, shots and drugs. Most who stop don't finish the tubing and grab a tuk tuk back, not before their tube is stolen and they lose their 60000 kip deposit. Each bar is themed, either a zip line, rope swing, they try tempt you in, but I was genuinely more interested in floating down a river!!
It was also fun sharing the experience with two others, they had lots of fun and Madison took loads of pictures with her waterproof camera. I wasn't so keen getting my camera out of my waterproof bag, seeing as I'm often clumsy. We floated for about two hours, passed all the bars till we found a quiet one and we each sunk a large Lao beer. It was refreshingly cold though the Canadians had to join us under some shelter! It was great spending time with them and getting to know them better!
The route along the river is wonderfully natural and its just typical of the drunk idiots to miss the natural beauty of Laos and replace it with a bucket of drink and maybe death. Mountains, tree lines, family days out on the river, we even saw a pig get slaughtered yuck!!
After our drink, it took another couple of hours to slowly float down the river. The last bar is a Bob Marley bar, after that, there is a bar-less stretch of water for 3kms. Oh the way, I got chatting to a Scottish lady in her 40s. She works for RBS and for her length of service got some paid leave. She started in India so I picked her brain a little. With about 500 meters to go, young Laos children jump on your tube and help you get to the finish. I didn't mind, it was nice chatting to them but of course they wanted paying at the end, but for entertainment value, 75p was worth it. Sadly, the kid who pushed Dave in only got 15p as Dave had only a 2000 kip note on him.
We got showered and changed and met Madison and Jacob at their guesthouse on the river to enjoy a late lunch. We were all starving but couldn't find anywhere that served 'normal' food!
We chilled for a couple of hours and met them again later on at a Thai restaurant. We decided to go as a group to the party island. It was an interesting experience as most people that were there looked miserable. Dave and I shared a vodka bucket which came with a free tshirt!! We chatted for a hour or so but called it quits and headed off.
We saw them briefly the next day but then we had fun waiting for a late tuk tuk van to drive us to a bus that had sold twice as many tickets as seats. A bit of logistical tag teaming meant I put the bags under the bus and Dave boy grabbed two seats. It only took ten minutes for me to squeeze on to claim my saved seat!! From spending time in Latin America and Asia, you learn to be agressively assertive in queuing!
Right, sorry, I forgot, yes, we got burned!! The tops of our hands from splashing and random burn marks down my legs, patches I missed probably.
Next stop, the capital Vientiane.
Since we left Vang Vieng, we heard about another death on the river. The day we left, a young 19 year old Aussie guy went missing from his group of 5 other friends and was found Wednesday drowned. I feel so sad for the family, having to fly to Laos to claim the body. What you might not know is that Laos does not have a proper hospital facility in the area, if one is hurt one is driven to Thailand.

Patrick Buchanan: Taking Aim at the So-Called Great PresidentsRoundup: Talking About History
Patrick Buchanan, in his column (June 16, 2004):
With the passing of President Reagan, historians, scholars and journalists have again taken to rating our presidents.
Invariably, greatness is ascribed to only three: Washington, Lincoln and FDR. Which reveals as much about American historians, scholars and journalists as it does about American presidents.
Certainly, Washington is our greatest president, the father of our country and the captain who set our course. But Lincoln is great only if one believes that preventing South Carolina, Georgia and the Gulf states from peacefully seceding justified the suspension of the Constitution, a dictatorship, 600,000 dead and a resort to a total war that ravaged the South for generations.
As for FDR, he was the greatest politician of the 20th century. But why call a president great whose government was honeycombed with spies and traitors, and whose war diplomacy lead to the loss of 10 Christian countries of Eastern Europe to a Muscovite despot whose terrorist regime was the greatest enemy of human freedom in modern history?
FDR restored the nation`s confidence in his first term and won a 46-state landslide to a second. But by 1937, the Depression was back and we were rescued only by the vast expenditures of World War II into which, even admirers now admit, FDR lied his country. The man talked peace as he plotted war.
None of the historians, scholars or journalists rate Reagan a great president. Yet his leadership led to the peaceful liberation of a hundred million children and grandchildren of the people FDR sold down the river at Teheran and Yalta, as well as of the 300 million people of the Soviet Union.
And why are Wilson and Truman always listed among the "near great" presidents?
While our entry into World War I ensured Allied victory, Wilson brought home from Versailles a vindictive peace that betrayed his principles, his 14 Points and his solemn word to the German government when it agreed to an armistice. That treaty tore Germany apart and led directly to Hitler and a horrific war of revenge 20 years later. Moreover, Wilson`s stubborn refusal to accept any compromise language to protect U.S. sovereignty led to Senate rejection of both his treaty and the League of Nations. Why, then, is this obdurate man "near great"?
As for Truman, he dropped two atom bombs on defenseless cities, sent back 2 million Russian dissidents and POWs to his "Uncle Joe," death and the Gulag, offered to send the USS Missouri to Russia to bring Stalin over to give him equal time to answer Churchill`s "Iron Curtain" speech, lost China to communism, fired Gen. MacArthur for demanding victory in Korea, presided over a corrupt administration, left us mired down in a "no-win war" and left office with 23 percent approval.
What is near great about that? Why is Eisenhower, who ended the Korean War in six months, restored America`s military might and presided over eight years of secure peace not the greater man?...

Dragons Player in the Majors # 16: Chris Denorfia
By Tom Nichols | November 29, 2012 9:45 AM ET
In June of 2002, the Reds drafted Denorfia in the 19th round out of tiny Wheaton College in Norton, Massachusetts. After more than 150 years as a women only institution, Wheaton began admitting men in 1988 and did not field a varsity baseball team until 1998. The college home of longtime 60 Minutes reporter Lesley Stahl, Wheaton, to this day, has seen only one other athlete drafted in any sport, a soccer player in 1999 named Jim Maganello. Denorfia became the second when the Reds called his name in 2002 after he finished his career at Wheaton with a batting average of .402.
In that summer of 2002, Denorfia was assigned by the Reds to their Gulf Coast League affiliate in Sarasota, Florida, the bottom rung of the farm system. Denorfia batted .340 to rank third in the league. When the GCL season ended in late August, the Reds found themselves in need of an outfielder in Double-A with Chattanooga. Not wanting to disrupt other farm clubs that were battling for playoff positions, they jumped Denorfia to Chattanooga. In just three games, he collected two doubles and a triple, going 3 for 7. After his third night with the Lookouts, the Reds reassigned him to the Dragons, who were headed to the Midwest League playoffs. He would serve as an extra outfielder, joining starters Chris Williamson, B.J. Hawes, and Domonique Lewis.
Just as Denorfia arrived in Dayton, the Dragons headed out to Burlington, Iowa for their final road trip of the regular season. Denorfia played in three games but went 0 for 10 to conclude the regular season. When the playoffs began against West Michigan at Fifth Third Field two days later, Denorfia entered the game as a pinch runner in the eighth inning, stole a base, and played one inning of defense in center field. That would be his only appearance in front of the big crowds in Dayton.
Denorfia's break-out season in the Minor Leagues came in 2005, when he batted .330 in a half season at Chattanooga, then hit .310 over the remainder of the year at Triple-A Louisville. He hit 20 home runs between the two stops combined while batting .317 to earn the Reds Minor League Player of the Year award. Meanwhile, the 2005 season was a rough one for the Reds, who fired manager Dave Miley after a 23-47 start. The team was void of starting pitcher, utilizing a struggling combination of Eric Milton, Luke Hudson, Paul Wilson, Elizardo Ramirez, and Randy Keisler, all with ERA's over 6.00, for 65 starts. The outfield, however, was deep and talented, featuring Ken Griffey Jr., Ryan Freel, and former Dragons Adam Dunn, Austin Kearns, and Wily Mo Pena, leaving little room for an unheralded youngster taken in the 19th round out of Wheaton College.
But on September 6, Denorfia and former Dragon Chris Booker were called up from Louisville. It was a great day for Denorfia, who represented small school stars everywhere. In Chris Kline's story in Baseball America, Denorfia gained some recognition.
"So much of why he's become the player he is, is because he's just a kid playing baseball," Wheaton head coach Eric Podbelski said.
Reds farm director Tim Naehring also praised Denorfia in the story.
"Chris is a good man, a high-character guy, he's got good makeup," Naehring said. "He plays the game like we'd like to see all our players play in the organization. He brings 100 percent to the field each night and does a lot of things well. He's not going to wow you with his physical size or lightning speed, but he doesn't have to.
"Marty Barrett once told me, 'You don't have to be a great player to play in the major leagues, you've got to be a good one every day.' Chris is that kind of guy."
Denorfia held his own in his brief opportunity that season, batting .263. The 555th player drafted in 2002 was now the #5 prospect in the Reds organization.
The next year, 2006, he appeared in 49 more games with the Reds and hit .283. He hit .349 in 83 games at Louisville. The 2007 season might have brought Denorfia even more opportunities with the Reds. He appeared in 20 spring training games, fourth most among outfielders in camp. But in late March, he tore a ligament in his elbow in a spring game and underwent season-ending "Tommy John" surgery. A month later, the Reds traded Denorfia to Oakland.
Denorfia made the Athletics opening day roster in 2008 but saw limited playing time over his two years in the A's organization. He signed with the San Diego Padres in 2010 and has found a home there. In 2012, Denorfia batted .293 for the Padres, playing in 130 games, fifth most on the team. He also added nine home runs and stole 13 bases. He has become a popular player with the Padres fans, who appreciate his aggressive style and hard-nosed play. In September, 2012, Denorfia signed a two-year contract extension through the 2014 season.
After the 2005 season when he was named Reds Minor League Player or the Year and made his Major League debut, Denorfia spoke to The Chattanoogan about the keys to his future. "There's always room for improvement," Denorfia said. "I'm never really satisfied with any part of my game. I think the biggest part would be consistency. That's the best way to get to the Majors and stay there. If I can do that, I'll have a pretty good shot."
Those words have proven to serve Denorfia well. He will be 32 years old in 2013, assured of a big league job for the first time ever. In seven years of Major League service, he has a career batting average of .281, far better than almost any of the 554 players drafted ahead of him.

I just completed a diagonal baby blanket and it came out looking more like a diamond than a square. What did I do wrong?? I followed the pattern which is similar to the basic dishcloth pattern. Can anyone help me out. Thanks!
[size=2]edit - [color=violet]mod squad was here[/color][/size]
One possibility is that your row gauge was larger than that of the pattern or your stitch gauge was tighter in proportion to your row gauge. I honestly don't know of a way that you could do it differently, though.
My diagonal washcloths tend to do that, too. Once they are washed they seem to fine so give that a try if you used washable yarn.
It may be from the bias nature of the blanket. When you cut fabric on the bias, it stretches more in one direction than in the other. The same is often true in knitting.

As Tim Craig reported in October, the D.C. Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration (ABRA) approved 42 bars and restaurants in the District for extended hours on the night before select holidays, including Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's a move geared toward raising additional revenue from alcohol sales, but it also means that you have an additional two hours to reconnect with friends who are back in town for the holiday.
The list includes a mix of clubs, music venues, neighborhood bars and, yes, even Dangerously Delicious — just in case you want to pick up tomorrow's pumpkin pie during your extra hours of debauchery.

Day 49 - Chincoteague Island, Virginia
This morning we left our hotel in Dover, Delaware headed for the coast of Virginia. We stopped in Dover to see the Delaware State Capitol, and other old state buildings before heading out. It was small as State Capitol buildings go, but still pretty cool. It reminded both of us of Independence Hall in Philadelphia. After killing an hour we headed for Virginia. Since we were both just freaking ecstatic to be out of New York this three hour drive was nothing. We got ...

The main dominate pony was very happy to eat up $2.00 worth of corn. Since we were out of change we had to say goodbye. He wasn't happy. Once back to the hotel it was shower, dinner, and bed time before our long drive tomorrow. Oh by the way, without ...

Back to the bus by 4:30. I sat out and read a while, had dinner in the coach, and light rain began at 7PM.
We leave tomorrow for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. See you there.

We decided not to drive down all of ocean city and cut over at the rt 90 bridge to start our cruise down the Delmarva. Went through the quaint towns ...

I am a bit of a sucker for paper goods/little notebooks like these. I got the gold foil set, and these are so adorable! Very feminine, delicate embossed poppy pod/floral design.
I also like these because they are a bit larger and thicker than Field Notes, and they're prettier in my bag.
I may grab the floral set on my next order - I'm sure those are just as adorable. I would highly recommend adding these to your next purchase.

Nonetheless, a German environmental organization called Deutsche Umwelthilfe claims that governments across the globe are wasting money by pouring it into EV initiatives. The group even suggests that some governments will "plunder" financially by dishing out all of this money which will have little, if any, impact on the environment. Head of the group Juergen Resch said:
Resch said automakers should instead focus on increasing efficiency of combustion engines rather than electric cars. Resch suggests that EVs pollute the environment a lot more than expected due to the extensive use of coal to generate electricity. Whether you believe Resch or not, we know EVs have environmental benefits regardless of where the electricity comes. Throw in the fact that power can be generated by cleaner technologies like wind or hydro-power, and we wonder if Umwelthilfe isn't hurting itself with this suggestion.A lot of money is going to be handed out to support electric cars instead of implementing tougher carbon-dioxide emissions [rules] and making gasoline and diesel cars more efficient.

Hawkes Bay's had some bad weather lately. The parts affected were mainly on the coast, from Haumoana, round Cape Kidnappers and places south, a wild salt-sprayed coast of wild romance.
I see the camping ground at Te Awanga was flooded. It was always the place for our annual primary school picnic.
If my memory is correct, only twice was the camping ground not flooded on picnic day and the picnic not cancelled. I can never understand why they persist with it.
This week's weather has been more than splendid. I don't recall a first week of May in Hawkes Bay every being as red and golden, green and yellow, as sunny and blue and still and calm and warm, as this has been. This may be the loveliest autumn I can remember.
Years ago, I planted a non-fruiting grape over our old shed. This week in the late afternoon sun it is a lurid, breathtaking mass of red, purple and yellow.
Plus they got bin Laden, Hone Harawira's freedom fighter. They blew half his face off.
In what will become a commando raid of legend, the Americans, having figured out through brilliant analysis of intelligence that he was holed up in a huge compound in a town nestled under the hills north of Islamabad, flew in and killed him.
Just like that. Took the mass killer out.
The Pakistanis are indignant at not being trusted with information about the operation by the Americans. Well, the stakes were too high for the Americans to tell the Pakistanis. Heaven knows who the Pakistani Intelligence Service works for.
As Leon Panetta, the CIA boss says, the Pakistanis either knew bin Laden was there or they are incompetent. Abbottabad is a military town, after all. They knew, all right.
And should the Americans have gone in to kill him? Of course they should have. Should they have executed him summarily, in the way they did? Of course, yes.
Or should they have arrested him and brought him out alive and sent him to the States for a fair trial? Of course not. Where would you have held him? What would the cost of security have been? Where would you try him?
No, the Americans wanted him dead. They were always going to get him and they were always going to kill him. An eye for an eye is a strong motif in the American narrative.
And, as I've written before, you don't organise the theft of giant, paid-for American jet airliners full of American people, loaded up with paid-for fuel and fly them into two of the greatest buildings in the world and cause them to melt and collapse killing 3000 hard working American people inside them.
Because if you do, America is going to hunt you down and kill you.
Bin Laden was psycho. He was described this week as a "raging narcissist." He was an evil murderer. His theology was full of hatred.
There was none of the tolerance which Muslims tell us is part of Islam. He had within him only blissful hatred. Everything about the West was contemptible filth.
Never mind Christ and Einstein and Shakespeare and Western charity and goodness; never mind the Eiffel Tower, or Frank Lloyd Wright and television and radio and cellphones.
No, all that mattered to bin Laden was hatred. I'm not sure he ever proposed anything. He was someone who opposed and destroyed and tore down and murdered and massacred.
There are certain people to whom the rules of law and life do not apply. There are certain people who simply have to be killed and thrown to the sharks, as the Americans did to bin Laden this week. People who organise such horrific massacres as the World Trade Centre was, have to be hunted down like rats and killed.
I was wondering how they were able to make an assessment about bin Laden's DNA. Here's how. Last year bin Laden's sister died in a New York hospital.
The Americans simply took her body. They simply compared his DNA to hers. They were determined, those Yanks, weren't they, to get him.
Obama showed strong, resolute leadership. He had the guts to take the punt, to order one of the riskiest and most daring military operations since Entebbe, when the Israelis rescued their hijacked people from the airport at Kampala, Uganda.
He had the courage that history demands presidents display from time to time. He made Donald Trump look like a chump with the silliest comb-over the world has ever seen. Obama showed his seriousness, this week. Obama certainly isn't agonising over the killing of the beast.
Getting bin Laden, killing him on the spot, executing him in his own bedroom, has probably guaranteed Obama a second term. Even Republicans were applauding him this week.
So a beautiful royal wedding one day, bin Laden dead the next. Not a bad few days.

Katie Lloyd is just four points off the lead after day one.
May 10, 2006
Colorado State junior Kevin Johnson leads the decathlon at the Mountain West Conference Championship after the first day with 3,783 points, while junior Katie Lloyd is in second place in the heptathlon, trailing by just four points.
Sophomore Emily Pearson is in fourth place, sophomore Tonya Cure is in seventh and sophomore Ashleigh Morton is in 11th after the conclusion of day one.
Johnson started the competition with a season-best time of 11.33 in the 100 meters. He then had the best long jump of the day, leaping 23-1.75. He finished second in the shot put with a personal best throw of 43-1.5, cleared 6-2.75 in the high jump and then finished the day with a season-best time of 50.81 in the 400 meters. Johnson leads the decathlon by 102 points over junior Brian Walsh from the Air Force Academy.
Lloyd has 3,186 points after day one, trailing freshman Kristin Olaffsdottir of San Diego State by just four points. Lloyd ran a 14.34 in the 100 meter hurdles to start the day, then won the high jump portion of the competition, clearing 5-7. She also won the shot put, throwing 37-11.5 and ended the day with a season-best time of 26.35.
Pearson finished right behind Lloyd with a 14.35 in the 100 hurdles. She then cleared a personal best 5-3.25 in the high jump, threw 34-11.25 in the shot put and concluded day one with a time of 25.14 in the 200 meters to tally 3,122 points.
Cure tallied 2,854 points on day one after running a 15.39 in the 100 hurdles, cleared 5-5.75 in the high jump, threw 30-5.5 in the shot put and ran a season-best time of 26.39 in the 200 meters.
Morton has 2,052 points. She began the day with a 15.86 in the 100 hurdles, then stumbled -- failing to clear a height in the high jump. She bounced back with a second place finish in the shot put, throwing 37-8.5 and finished the day with a time of 27.23 in the 200 meters, just .01 off her season-best time.
The heptathlon and decathlon competition will conclude tomorrow and qualifying rounds in the track events and field events will begin on Friday morning with the conclusion of the Mountain West Championship on Saturday.
