by George Achorn on 17 January 2013 in Events News Video

It's known that Audi showed off a host of new models, including the RS 7, SQ5, RS 5 Cabriolet and the new R8. If you missed it and care to relive it, one great way to do so is this excellent mix of YouTube videos that share the event.

Instead of spreading her message of peace in the United States, as Sharon Stone did in the Middle East, she's spreading her message of oral sex. And why shouldn't Ms. Stone share her extensive knowledge of oral sex with the youth of America? It's a skill that everyone should have, just like being able to swim.
Actress Sharon Stone is adamant teenagers should be prepared to engage in oral sex, if it saves from them the dangers of unprotected penetrative sex. The actress spends much of her time away from Hollywood working as an activist raising AIDS awareness, and she always carries condoms with her to hand out in a bid to increase safe sex levels. She explains, "I was in the store the other day and I watched a young girl trying on clothes, showing her abdomen. "Her mother was trying to talk to her about not being inappropriately luring. I said, 'Gee that would look much nicer with a camisole under.' "Her mother walked away, and I said to the girl, 'I'd like to give you a two-minute conversation about sex.' "Young people talk to me about what to do if they're being pressed for sex? I tell them (what I believe): oral sex is a hundred times safer than vaginal or anal sex. "If you're in a situation where you cannot get out of sex, offer a blow job. I'm not embarrassed to tell them."

In the wake of a recent speech by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemning countries that censor the internet and engage in hacking, China has lobbed a return volley and accused the United States of hypocrisy and initiating cyberwarfare against Iran.
An editorial in the People's Daily — the primary mouthpiece for China's Communist Party — accused the United States of doublespeak and of using "online warfare" to instigate violent unrest in Iran with Twitter and YouTube following that country's national elections in June.
"We're afraid that in the eyes of American politicians, only information controlled by America is free information, only news acknowledged by America is free news, only speech approved by America is free speech, and only information flow that suits American interests is free information flow," said the Sunday editorial, according to the Guardian newspaper.
The editorial was taking aim at a speech by Clinton last Thursday in which she said that access to information, and the internet, is a basic human right. She said that countries around the world were erecting virtual walls in place of the physical walls that generally characterize oppressive regimes.
Clinton urged U.S. media companies to challenge foreign governments' demands for censorship and surveillance.
Clinton did not mention China specifically but also said that "Countries or individuals that engage in cyberattacks should face consequences and international condemnation."
She was speaking in the wake of an announcement from Google that it had decided to stop censoring search results on its Chinese-language search engine and may vacate China altogether after discovering that it, and nearly three dozen other companies, had been the target of a coordinated hack attack that originated in China.
The People's Daily, however, didn't take the speech calmly.
"Behind what America calls free speech is naked political scheming. How did the unrest after the Iranian election come about?" said the paper. "It was because online warfare launched by America, via YouTube video and Twitter microblogging, spread rumours, created splits, stirred up and sowed discord between the followers of conservative reformist factions."
Last June, the U.S. State Department asked Twitter to postpone scheduled maintenance that would have increased its server capacity but also would have closed down the system for a short time during the daytime hours in Iran, preventing Iranian protestors from using the social-networking service to organize and chronicle a government crackdown.
"When we worked with our network provider yesterday to reschedule this planned maintenance, we did so because events in Iran were tied directly to the growing significance of Twitter as an important communication and information network," Twitter co-founder Biz Stone disclosed in a blog post at the time. "It made sense for Twitter and for NTT America to keep services active during this highly visible global event."
Iranian voters took to the streets to protest the election between President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and defeated challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi, accusing the government of having rigged the election. The unrest resulted in unknown numbers of deaths and arrests. Iranian protestors used numerous social networking services to communicate with others inside and outside the country about the events in their country.
A State Department spokesman at the time denied that the U.S. was intruding on Iran's domestic affairs.
"This is about giving their voices a chance to be heard. One of the ways that their voices are heard are through new media," spokesman Ian Kelly told Reuters.
China began blocking YouTube last March in anticipation of protests on the anniversary of uprisings in Tibet. It also began blocking Twitter in June, prior to the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square uprising. Reuters reports that Facebook has also been down in the country since July.

Before Stephen Calhoun connected with a primary care team at La Clinica in Jackson County, his health care services were driven by emergencies. He would wait until his uncontrolled blood pressure spiked or chest pain flared or he was out of breath. Then he'd land in the hospital.
"I was in and out of the hospital — sometimes once a week," says Calhoun, a 59-year-old woodworker who lives in a trailer park near Grants Pass. But in the year since La Clinica helped teach him how to take better care of his health, he has not visited a hospital once.
Calhoun has high blood pressure, coronary artery disease and diabetes. He is covered by the Oregon Health Plan.
State officials have recognized La Clinica as a Tier 3 Primary Care Home — the highest level — because of its commitment to patient-centered coordinated care. Primary care homes are key to health transformation in Oregon, because they target chronic illnesses in time to prevent costly medical emergencies.
A pilot program through La Clinica used home visits to help Calhoun take control of his diabetes.
"If you really want to help people with chronic conditions," you have to look beyond the occasional visit in the doctor's office, says Karen Gonzalez, clinical nurse supervisor at La Clinica. She visited Calhoun repeatedly last year to help him come up with a plan for managing diabetes.
They counted calories, traded recipes, inventoried his refrigerator and mapped realistic strategies. How to prepare meals that are simple, tasty and healthful. How to interpret nutrition labels, and to use food stamps to stretch his grocery budget.
A community health worker visits Calhoun at least monthly to check on his progress. "We go over everything I'm doing," he says. "It has really helped."
Calhoun wears a nitroglycerin patch to relieve chest pain and takes pills for high blood pressure and diabetes. But weight loss and improved diet have helped him avoid insulin.
"When I go shopping nowadays, I'm buying things I didn't used to buy: fresh veggies, low-salt items, 2 percent milk," he says. His weight has dropped to 185 lbs., from over 200. He gave up the salt shaker. His drink of choice is now plain water.
"I feel better," he says. "I don't have any problem with the government having to put out less money because I'm spending less time in the hospital.
"It's a win-win."

We are trying to prepare our house for sale. All of the little fixes and repairs that would have been nice but were deemed unnecessary over the past several years while my husband was in school are absolutely necessary now. Things like replacing the broken basement window with something other than cardboard, fixing the leaky shower drain, replacing the screens with holes in them, painting the interior walls after 10 years of kids using them as art surfaces, installing the baseboards in the little girls' room, and so forth and so on ad nauseum.
At least the list makes me slightly nauseous.
In January I reduced our school plan to about 2 solid hours per day. I still did preschool with H3 and A5 and still did language arts activities with A5. I also worked on completing our Old Testament reading/study/journals with the older kids. On their own they had to do math, their choice of workbook subject matter (more math, reading comprehension, grammar, whatever), and work on their individual elective: Latin for E12, First Aid then Africa for M10 (now M11!), Goats then spelling bee preparation for S10, and Horses for J9.
The rest of the day was devoted to cleaning, painting, shopping, and otherwise prepping our home.
It still wasn't enough time.
We do have to eat.
And there are kids to take care of, after all.
We just had my dad out for a week. He's a former general contractor, and he spent 5 days helping us solve problems that were just too big for us to solve on our own. We did no school, but focused our energies on the urgent tasks at hand.
We were working hard, but then I got sick again. I never get sick like this!!! I've been out of comission for too long and the tasks are piling up. Progress I've made is getting undone by just living life. The kids can't walk around with their hands at their sides not touching anything!
So I gave a little speech yesterday:
"You're on your own for school until we get our house ready. It is your choice to do school or not do it. I'll be available for questions and help if you need it, but I will not remind you to do schoolwork and I will not require it of you. If you don't want to fall behind where you want to be or forget what you've been doing, it is up to you to pull out your books when you get bored enough and do the work on your own. You may reserve library books. You may do research online when I can take a moment to supervise your web-surfing, but I am not requiring it of you. I will require you to help by watching the little kids, doing chores beyond your own, helping with meals, and by doing house prep jobs that must be taken care of. I expect you to help. That is our priority right now."
I actually spoke a little longer than that and fielded questions the big girls had, but that's the crux of it.
A giant snowstorm was scheduled to arrive in the afternoon, so we ran to the library and the grocery store in the morning. I borrowed about 12 science videos in the hopes that if I put the kids in front of them when I'm frantic with projects, I'd feel less guilty than if I put them in front of Disney videos--though I think Bill Nye the Science Guy is produced by Disney, so . . .
There's no "school" at my house these days. I'll be watching the kids to see what they choose to do as the days and weeks unfold ahead. In all sincerity, I hope they learn a lot about life and work and good choices.
This in an interesting season.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Summary: My EAD is about to expire (mid-November 08) and I have unfortunately, been placed on a denied status (with Motion To Reopen).
I have had no response in regards to my Motion To Reopen and need to continue working.
Can I get an extension for my EAD (Btw, if I am in a "denied" status, is this possible?)
Can anyone recommend a good attorney to help me out.
Thank you.
If your EAD was based on a pending I-485 application, and your I-485 application has been denied; then it is not possible to extend your EAD application based on filing a motion to re-open the I-485.
You would need a new I-485 filed with a new I-765, and depending on the facts, this might not be possible in October 2008 or November 2008, and even if it is possible, it would take approximately 3 months for the new I-765 application to be approved, that is, 3 months from filing the new case before you get new EAD.
It is true that if USCIS approved your motion to re-open and re-instated your pending I-485, then you could obtain a new EAD based on that re-instated I-485 being pending.
Yours is definitely a complex situation, and you will want to retain a qualifed attorney in your area to advise you. Good luck.Ask a similar question
I agree with the previous answer. Try to obtain your own attorney if you must.
Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details.
Good luck to you.
God bless.

NEW YORK—Last Wednesday was a long but particularly gratifying day for me. At a very early hour I went up to the Bronx, here, to see the new city hospital, which is to be staffed by doctors of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. In reciprocation the hospital will furnish Yeshiva's medical school with some of the best facilities that any school has ever had for practice and teaching as well as research.
This new medical school is of great importance to the country as well as to the city. We have not added very substantially to our number of medical colleges in recent years and that is one of the reasons we are short of doctors at the present time. These added facilities will mean much in training and research, but even with these we will not have all we should have in this country.
We were shown through the hospital by Dr. Marcus D. Kogel and Dr. Emanuel Lifshutz, and I was very much impressed by the way the city had done its planning. The structure was costly to build but it was done in a way that will mean a minimum in upkeep in the future.
The old idea of long wards of beds, particularly in public hospitals where the poor are obliged to be cared for, has been done away with, and privacy, which means so much when one is ill, is a possibility. No ward has more than four beds and many of them have only two.
I like the idea of having three chapels for the patients and staff, with the chaplain's offices right next to the chapel. There already are two full-time chaplains in attendance and the feeling is that they may need assistants when the hospital is fully in operation.
The kitchens are wonderfully equipped. I was pleased to see that on every other floor there is a real kitchen where food for the patients on two floors can be prepared so that it will be hot when it reaches them. Most of the food is cooked in the main kitchen, but the final preparation is done in these floor kitchens. I'm sure this will mean better food as well as hotter food.
Dr. Kogel, who is dean of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, had done much of the planning for this hospital when he was Commissioner of Hospitals, here, and he took great pride in showing us all its advantages.

I returned to Manhattan in ample time to go to the Young Republican Club to speak on the American Association for the United Nations. Then I spent the rest of the afternoon at meetings in my office.

The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond
Universal Republic
The soundtrack to the highly anticipated film version of The Hunger Games (opening Friday) draws inspiration from the futuristic Appalachia that's home to Katniss, our young protagonist. Funny, then, how it sounds much like a playlist one might create from some of this era's hottest indie, roots, and pop stars. Featuring tunes from the likes of The Decemberists, Taylor Swift, Arcade Fire, and Punch Brothers, the star-studded roster didn't exactly transport me into author Suzanne Collins' post-apocalyptic world. But The Hunger Games: Songs from District 12 and Beyond has its moments. Its piercing lullabies, for instance, ring true to the story's emotional angst and loss of innocence, and...District 12 makes for good listening, even if its intended identity is never fully clear.
Set in a future Dark Ages, Collins' dystopic young-adult trilogy reimagines America as a feudalistic society controlled by a decadent Capitol where reality TV, plastic surgery, and brutal repression reign supreme. Katniss lives in one of 13 zones under the Capitol's control, a mining province called District 12. The plot surrounds a morbid annual competition forced on the impoverished districts, each of which—in a distant echo of Shirley Jackson's classic short story "The Lottery"—must select two of its teenagers to battle to the death in the Capitol's surrealistic amphitheater until one champion remains. The battle is broadcast as entertainment for the citizens of the Capitol, whose hunger for melodrama rivals the literal hunger of the combants and their families back home. Katniss is a scrappy and fearless heroine (weapon of choice: bow and arrow). The story centers on her struggles to protect her younger sister and mother, choose between love interests, and, oh, yeah, dodge her bloodthirsty opponents.
The film, starring Jennifer Lawrence of Winter's Bone fame, was a phenomenon well before its March 23 release, spawning fan sites and anticipatory slideshows and pair-your-dish-to-a-scene feast competitions. And now this companion album, loosely inspired by District 12 and its haunted inhabitants.
Arranged by T-Bone Burnett, the musician and producer best known for the widely acclaimed Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack, ...District 12 seems undecided about its audience. For one thing, perhaps its most-publicized contributor is teen pop-country queen Taylor Swift. Don't get me wrong. I can handle Swift's glossy vocals when the mood is right, but usually that involves driving down the California interstate with a lemonade in hand. Swift's two contributions—one with the harmonizing duo The Civil Wars—linger in the unquestionably pop universe. I couldn't help feeling that the stoic huntress Katniss deserved a stronger, less breathy voice as her main representative—Neko Case's contribution, "Nothing To Remember," seems more in line with Katniss' fearlessness—and that including Swift was more a business move than an artistic one. After all, Collins' trilogy is aimed at teenage readers, and Swift is huge with that demographic.
But plenty of adults appreciate the books too, and Burnett's inclusion of a hearty dose of roots music nudges the album closer to its goal of envisioning "what Appalachian music will sound like in 300 years." Punch Brother's "Dark Days" is a prime example. The mandolin-laced tune features Chris Thile's clear tenor with great harmonies, and fiddle lines as lonesome as a pining heart. His lyrics echo the storyline:
Sister hide our love away/ from the evil we both know / It can see you through these dark days, though they seem to darken as I go / Our love will see us through these dark, dark, days/ Sister, till it lights the way back home.
Another line, "But we don't have to reap the fear they sow," seems a direct reference to "the reaping"—the ritualistic event in which the young "tributes" are plucked away from their families and sent to the Capitol to prepare for their last stand.
Other standouts include the mournful hymn "Daughter's Lament" by the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Miranda Lambert's country tune "Run Daddy Run," and The Secret Sisters' gentle lullaby, "Tomorrow Will Be Kinder." The Sisters' Alabama roots and soothing harmonies make this tune fitting both for District 12's rural locale and as accompaniment for the lighter side of Katniss's shadowy adolescence.
Much in the same way our heroine is thrust from the sheltered cove of her childhood, this album, too, shifts to embark on something much darker. One of the surprise successes is hip-hop star Kid Cudi's "The Ruler and the Killer," a pulsing, rhythmic chant that embodies the demonic competition and the evil puppetmasters controlling the show. (At the start of the games, Katniss describes "a dozen or so tributes hacking away at one another...Several lie dead already on the ground"). For that matter, the opening track, Arcade Fire's "Abraham's Daughter," also sets an eerie and prophetic tone with childlike chants overlaying minor chords, agressive drumming, and gravelly guitar.
While I appreciated the experience of listening to a bunch of original songs written for and about a great story, musically Songs from District 12 and Beyond is too much of a thematic fishing expedition. Rather than standing as a cohesive work of art, it is better appreciated for its individual numbers about growing up amid evil and finding hope in one another.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid laid the groundwork Thursday morning for going "nuclear" and changing the Senate's rules to end filibusters of executive branch nominees, saying that he's changed his mind since the beginning of this year. Mr. Reid began the year pledging not to use the so-called "nuclear option" to change the chamber's rules as part of an agreement with his Republican counterpart, Sen. Mitch McConnell. But on Thursday Mr. Reid said Mr. McConnell had broken his end of the agreement, which dissolves the bargain. "A deal is a deal, a contract is a contract, an arrangement is an arrangement , a bargain is a bargain, as long as each party to such an agreement holds up his end of the bargain," Mr. Reid said in a floor speech Thursday morning.
Congress has become a joke no matter how you slice it.
Democrats pioneered filibusters of judicial nominations when they repeatedly blocked some of President George W. Bush's picks to the federal courts.
At the time, Republicans themselves considered using the nuclear option, with Mr. McConnell then supporting the move. But the GOP was forced to back away from its threat when a bipartisan "Gang of 14" emerged as arbiters of nominations.
That truce stood for several years, but now Democrats say Republicans have taken filibusters of nominees to a new extreme by trying to block major Cabinet nominees and judges.
Harry Reid
McConnell wanted to do the exact same thing. Is he a TPOS?
Congress has become a joke no matter how you slice it. This congress will go down historically as one of the worst ever.
Harry Reid is the worst thing to happen to the Senate in a long, long time.
Wanted to.
See the difference?
Harry Reid

Emmy nominations announced in Hollywood
``Game of Thrones'' tops all the nominees with 19 nods in awards set to be handed out next month
NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - As expected, AMC's gritty ``Breaking Bad'' received a best-drama nomination today as it looks to repeat last year's Emmy win, while ``Modern Family'' scored a best comedy nod in its bid for a fifth consecutive victory in the category.
Also nominated for best drama were AMC's ``Mad Men,'' Netflix's ``House of Cards,'' HBO's ``Game of Thrones'' and ``True Detective'' and PBS' ``Downton Abbey.''
``Game of Thrones'' topped all the nominees with 19 nods.
Challenging ``Modern Family'' for best comedy honors will be Netflix's ``Orange is the New Black,'' HBO's ``Veep'' and ``Silicon Valley,'' CBS' ``The Big Bang Theory'' and FX's ``Louie.''
This is the third consecutive year that none of the outstanding drama nominees came from a major broadcast network.
A series from the major broadcast networks has not won in the category since Fox's ``24'' in 2006.
``Breaking Bad's'' win in the category last year broke a four-year winning streak by ``Mad Men.''
Bryan Cranston was nominated as best drama actor for his lead role in ``Breaking Bad.''
He will be challenged by last year's winner, Jeff Daniels of ``The Newsroom,'' John Hamm from ``Mad Men,'' Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey of ``True Detective'' and Kevin Spacey of ``House of Cards.''
Lead drama actress nominations went to Michelle Dockery for ``Downton Abbey,'' Robin Wright for ``House of Cards,'' Kerry Washington for ``Scandal,'' Claire Danes for ``Homeland,'' Lizzy Caplan for ``Masters of Sex'' and Julianna Margulies for ``The Good Wife.''
Jim Parsons of ``The Big Bang Theory'' was nominated for best actor in a comedy series, along with Ricky Gervais for ``Derek,'' Don Cheadle for ``House of Lies,'' William H. Macy for ``Shameless,'' Matt LeBlanc for ``Episodes'' and Louis C.K. for ``Louie.''
Nominated for best comedy actress were Lena Dunham for ``Girls,'' Edie Falco for ``Nurse Jackie,'' Amy Poehler for ``Parks and Recreation,'' Melissa McCarthy for ``Mike & Molly,'' Taylor Schilling for ``Orange is the New Black'' and Julia Louis-Dreyfus for ``Veep.''
The nominations were announced by Carson Daly, host of ``The Voice,'' and Mindy Kaling, star of the Fox comedy ``The Mindy Project,'' along with Bruce Rosenblum, the chairman and CEO of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
The 66th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, which honor programming initially airing between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. from June 1, 2013, to May 31, 2014, will be presented Aug. 25 at the Nokia Theatre with Seth Meyers as the host.

Home > Opinion > Gerard Henderson > Article
The BBC milked David Kelly for information then left him to fend for himself, writes Gerard Henderson.
Buyer-beware is a familiar (if not always heeded) warning. However, the recent tragic death - by suicide - of Dr David Kelly indicates there is room for yet another caution, of the general kind. Namely, whistleblower beware.
The full facts surrounding Kelly's death must await the report of Lord Hutton's inquiry, which was established by Tony Blair and which began public hearings on August 11. But the chronology leading up to the suicide is well known.
On May 22, Kelly met BBC journalist Andrew Gilligan at London's Charing Cross Hotel. Kelly spoke later to two other BBC journalists - Susan Watts and Gavin Hewitt - by phone. On May 29, Gilligan reported that he had it on the authority of one British "intelligence source" that the Blair Government had "sexed-up" the intelligence dossier it had received concerning Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. Alastair Campbell, the Blair Government's communications director, was named as the person responsible for the "sexing-up". By early July the word was out that Kelly was the whistleblower. He died on July 17.
Kelly was a leading British expert on WMDs who had made nearly 40 visits to Iraq. But Gilligan, and other BBC types, lied when they described him as, variously, "an intelligence-service source" and "a member of the security services". So, how did the BBC respond when this falsehood could no longer be hidden? Well, a BBC spokesman declared that it was all just "a slip of the tongue". How convenient.
Soon after Kelly died, the BBC acknowledged that he was the organisation's single source for the most damaging allegations, which Gilligan, and others, made about the Blair Government's (alleged) "sexing-up" activities. This despite the fact that the BBC's code of reporting requires that a single anonymous source should not be used for a story - unless the person worked in intelligence. Kelly was a brilliant scientist, but he was not an intelligence officer.
The evidence indicates a precedent had been established whereby Kelly spoke, on an off-the-record basis, to journalists. Martin Howard (the Ministry of Defence's deputy chief of defence intelligence) has indicated Kelly was free to provide "technical information" to the media but was not permitted to discuss "politically sensitive issues".
It seems that, at least in his conversations with Gilligan and Watts, Kelly crossed over the line and commented on politically sensitive issues. It also appears that shortly before his death, in evidence to the Foreign Affairs Committee, Kelly was less than fully frank to the assembled British parliamentarians.
Does this indicate that Kelly was either unprofessional or intentionally dishonest? Not according to the currently known facts. But the scientist's behaviour suggests that, in handling the media on so sensitive an issue, he was out of his depth.
It is difficult, if not impossible, to know precisely what Kelly told Gilligan. But his comments to Watts were taped (without his knowledge or authority). In any event, Watts advised Lord Hutton last week that Kelly did not claim that the dossier on Iraq's WMD was transformed, due to political direction, in the week before publication. Nor, according to Watts, did Kelly assert that the claim that Iraq's WMDs could be activated in 45 minutes was inserted by either Campbell or any of his Downing Street colleagues. Both allegations were central to Gilligan's story.
It is known that Kelly believed that his discussions with Gilligan and Watts were of a private nature and that he would never be outed as the source - alive or dead. It is understandable why a scientist, not used to the ways of the media, could be so naive.
But BBC journalists must have known that the Blair Government would respond with full force when such serious (albeit undocumented and anonymous) allegations had been made. In other words, Gilligan should have counselled Kelly that his whistleblowing activities might be exposed and suggested that he may wish to reflect on how he would handle any such eventuality.
Neither Gilligan nor any BBC journalist or manager proffered advice to Kelly in the lead-up to his naming as Gilligan's source, or in the period of personal torment that preceded his death. In short, Kelly was left to fend for himself.
Yet, even experienced journalists have difficulties when handling the media. In the July 2003 issue of Prospect, John Lloyd (the editor of the Financial Times Magazine) related how he was recently mugged by fellow journalists in both the conservative Spectator and the leftist New Statesman. After this experience, Lloyd came to realise that some (if not many) of his colleagues were hostile to, and mendacious about, people in public life. He also commented how journalists, who are themselves into spin, become "surprised, even indignant" when challenged about factual errors and omissions in their stories. Such complaint will be familiar to many who have to deal with journalists on a regular basis.
If experienced types such as Lloyd find working with the media traumatic, imagine Kelly's feelings when, unexpectedly, he was projected into public life. Compare and contrast Andrew Wilkie - Australia's own whistleblower, who resigned from the Office of National Assessments in the lead-up to the Iraq War. In her profile on Wilkie (Good Weekend, August 16), Jane Cadzow depicts her subject as media savvy, almost self-indulgently so. The same could not be said for David Kelly.
During his obviously stressful appearance before the House of Commons committee, Kelly was asked what he had learnt from the whole experience. He replied: "Never to talk to a journalist again, I think." Good advice to well-motivated, but inexperienced, whistleblowers the world over.
It is unfortunate that Kelly's self-awareness occurred at too late a stage to save his own life.

Police are hunting two men who allegedly stole a van in Melbourne then went on a shopping spree with the victim's credit card.
A security camera captured one of the men snapping a boom gate, before the van was driven from a car park at Westfield shopping centre, in Doncaster, on October 4.
Police say the stolen credit card was used to buy a mobile phone and alcohol.
The stolen vehicle is a 1996 white Ford Econovan with registration NQH740.
Police are investigating if the incident is linked to three other recent van thefts.

When you are done reading about the Kansas Eviction Process below, we recommend you purchase the corresponding Kansas Eviction Notice to be delivered to your Tenant.
Download These Eviction Notices
Use the Button Above or Click here for a Special Offer on these Alabama Eviction Notice Forms
Kansas Eviction Laws
The laws regarding Eviction in Kansas are contained in the Kansas Landlord and Tenant Act . This law, passed by the Kansas Legislature, governs every aspect of the relationship between a landlord and a tenant. If you are a landlord in Kansas, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with this law.
Kansas Eviction Notice
The first step in the Kansas Eviction Process is the landlord serving the tenant with a Kansas Eviction Notice. If a landlord simply needs to end a month-to-month tenancy, the landlord should deliver a 30 Day Eviction Notice to the tenant. This notice is not because the tenant has done anything wrong. It is just because the landlord wishes to end the month-to-month situation.
If the landlord needs to evict the tenant for non-payment of rent (most common reason), the landlord needs to serve a 3 Day Notice. This gives the tenant 3 Days to pay the rent or leave. It warns them of legal action if they do not comply. Most tenants see this as very serious, and will go to great lengths to get the rent paid.
If the landlord needs to evict the tenant because the tenant is violating some other part of the lease, then the landlord should serve a 14/30 Day Notice of Non-Compliance. Examples for use of this form include unauthorized pets, disturbing neighbors, misusing the property, etc. This 14/30 Day Notice gives the tenant 14 days to correct the violation. If they do not correct within the 14 days, then their lease ends 30 days from the receipt of the notice.
Delivering Notices
In order for a Kansas Eviction Notice to be effective and legal, it must be "served" properly. "Serve" means to deliver in a proper manner. In the Kansas Eviction Process, the easiest way to serve a tenant is to hand deliver the eviction notice to the tenant, or to a person who resides at the property who is over the age of 12. Hand Delivery should only be done if it can be accomplished safely. Another accepted method in Kansas is to tape or tack the notice to the door. It is recommended that you take a picture of this after you do it, so you can prove it was actually done! Kansas also permits service by certified mail. Some landlords will do a combination of methods so that there is no question the tenant is properly served.
Forcible Detainer Action
After you serve the tenant, and they still do not comply with your demand after the time in the notice has expired, you need file a lawsuit called a "Forcible Detainer" action. To do this, the landlord should go the Clerk's Office at the County Courthouse in the County where the property is located. The Clerk will set a date for what is called "Docket Call." Docket Call is about 10 days from when the Forcible Detainer action is filed. The Sheriff will serve the tenant a notice of the Docket Call. At the Docket Call, the judge may resolve the case, or if the case cannot be resolved, the judge will set a trail date no later than 8 days from Docket Call. At the trial, the judge will hear both sides of the case, examine the evidence (including proof that tenant was served properly), and make a decision. If either party (landlord or tenant) does not show up, the other side will win. Therefore landlord must be present at all hearings/trials in order to win the eviction case.
Writ of Restitution and Execution
After the landlord wins the Eviction Case, the judge will order the tenant to vacate the property within a certain time period. If the tenant does not vacate by this time, the next step in the Kansas Eviction Process is for the landlord to ask the County Clerk for a "Writ of Restitution and Execution." In this document, the judge will order the Sheriff to physically remove the tenant within 10 days. Depending on the County, at the removal, the landlord may have to provide the manpower for removing the tenants belongings.
Next Step: We recommend you purchase the corresponding Kansas Eviction Notice to be delivered to your Tenant.

The Neutrog Alternative
A wide variety of soils today are producing less and costing more to manage. Farmers and growers are continually frustrated with the problems of declining soil structure, apparent nutrient tie up, and decreasing crop yields. Neutrog fertilisers provide the catalyst for promoting healthy growth by stimulating the natural processes that occur in the soil. Both soil conditioning and fertilising benefits result from their use. The physical effects of Neutrog on the soil are perhaps more important than the direct fertiliser effects. Poor soil structure inhibits root growth, reducing the ability of a plant to reach much needed nutrients. Neutrog's products promote the aggregation of soil particles, so that structure and tilth is significantly improved. Roots, air and water can move easily through the soil. In sandy soils, organic matter holds both water and nutrients, making them available for plant growth, and minimising leaching.
Benefits can include:
• Helps unlock 'tied up' nutrients • Controlled nutrient release • Retains moisture and nutrients in sandy soil • Excellent source of organic matter • Acts as a pH buffer • Improves soil structure • Encourages earthworm and soil microbial activity • Reduces leaching • Increased yields • Increased resistance to pests • Increased root development • Reduced screenings • Increased protein levels • Introduces a full balanced range of nutrients

In 1 Peter 2 believers in Christ are encouraged to live a good and godly life so that those who speak against God will, after seeing our conduct, turn to Him and give Him glory (2 Peter 2:12). Peter gives us four ways Christians are to relate to those around them.
"Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king." – 1 Peter 2:17
1) Honor All People – How Christians relate to the world
We are told to "honor all people". This means to show proper respect towards our fellow man. We are not to honor a person's wealth or standing. Instead we look past these superficial things and see individuals made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26). Individuals who have intrinsic value because the Father loves them, sent His Son to redeem them (Romans 5:8) and desires them to repent and be saved (Ezekiel 33:11).
Christians often struggle to properly relate to the world. We tend to either think too highly of ourselves and become like the Pharisees, looking down at those we don't feel are as spiritual as us, or else we go to the other extreme and allow the world to influence our actions, hindering our relationship with Christ.
But we want to find a balance. Instead of looking down on people we remember that we are sinners saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8) and are to restore those who sin with a spirit of gentleness (Galatians 6:1). Instead of joining the world we remember that we are here to be a light for those who are lost (Matthew 5:16).
We honor people by being "kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, giving preference to one another" (Romans 12:10). We honor people by "letting nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind letting each esteem others better than himself, looking out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others" (Philippians 2:3-4). We honor people by being "clothed with humility" (1 Peter 5:5) using our God-given gifts to serve. And finally we honor people by telling them the reason for the hope within us which is Christ Jesus, our Lord.
2) Love The Brotherhood – How Christians relate to one another
To "love the brotherhood" means to love fellow believers in Christ. Those who believe in Christ, and trust Him as their Savior, make up the Church. The Church is made up of many members from varying backgrounds, yet is referred to in Scripture as being one body, with Christ being the head (Corinthians 12:12).
Here is another area where we often struggle to properly relate. Sometimes we reserved our love only for our little cliques made up of those who share our unique, nonessential doctrines or style of worship. Other times we accept poor and dangerous bible teaching in the name of unity.
We need to keep things in perspective. We are free to debate Christians who hold different views but when we do we need to remember the common ground we share in Christ and treat one other with the love and respect Christ has shown us.
On the other hand loving one another doesn't mean that we lay aside discernment for the sake of getting along. We are told to "test all things and hold fast to the good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21). There are issues that are essential to Christianity — who Jesus is, for example. If there is a difference in opinion here, then we correct those who err, and if they won't heed correction then we need to part ways.
We love fellow believers by caring for them "fervently with a pure heart" (1 Peter 1:22), praying for them (James 5:16), correcting those who sin and bearing one another's burdens (Galatians 6:1-2).
Jesus said that the world would know we follow Him because of the love we show to one another (John 13:35) and He prayed that the Church would be united just as He and the Father are united (John 17:21). To love fellow believers is to do nothing less than follow in the footsteps of Christ.
3) Fear God – How Christians relate to God
To "fear God" means to have a proper understanding of who He is, and where we stand in relation to Him.
God is the creator of all things (Genesis 1:1). Heaven is His throne and earth is His footstool (Matthew 5:34-35). He is holy and deserves to be worshiped (Psalms 99:9). He is "the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, a God of truth and without injustice. Righteous and upright is He" (Deuteronomy 32:4).
When Job stood in His presence he realized he was unworthy and held his tongue. "Behold, I am vile. What shall I answer You? I lay my hand over my mouth" (Job 40:4). Isaiah reacted the same way when he saw God crying out "Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips, for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts." (Isaiah 6:5)
The Lord is holy and we are not. The Lord is perfect and we are not. To understand this is to fear the Lord. This fear becomes a "fountain of life" that turns us away from the "snares of death" (Proverbs 14:27) when we come to God, not as one who relies on his own works or merit, but as one who recognizes he is simply a sinner in need of a Savior (Ephesians 2:8).
In love the Father answered our cry by sending His Son to be that Savior (John 3:16). Christ took the penalty of our sins to the cross and has reconciled us with the Father (Romans 5:10). We now relate to God through Christ who "is our righteousness" (Romans 3:22) and whose sacrifice allows us to become "children of God" (Galatians 3:26).
4) Honor The King – How Christians relate to authorities
To "honor the king" means to respect authority. We are told to be "subject to the governing authorities" because leaders are "appointed by God" (Romans 13:1) to minister to people (Romans 13:3-4) by keeping order. Obeying authority is pleasing to God.
Of course there have been evil governments throughout history and when a government commands people to do something contrary to Scripture we are to do what is "right in the sight of God" and "obey God rather than men" (Acts 4:16-18; 5:29).
The king is to be honored (Given the proper level of respect) but God is to be feared (Given the highest level of respect and worship). Jesus Christ is not a Republican nor is He a Democrat. He is the head of the Church (Col 1:18). He is the Shepherd and we are His sheep (John 10:11).
When Christ returns He will reign as King forever. There will not be any political parties there will only be those who bow to the King of kings and Lord of Lords.
Until then our convictions in political (and all other) matters should come as the result of holding up every issue before Scripture when we make any decisions (Psalm 119:105).
Then with light of His Word to guide our path, we are able to act in a manner worthy of the gospel (Philippians 1:27), and bring a living hope to a dying world.

Jack of all trades takes a breather after busy 2012
CLOGHERHEAD's Jack Mc Cullough can look forward to a promising 2013 on a number of fronts after starring in the swimming pool and on terra firma in recent months.
Not content with winning the National Triathlon title in his age group back in September, the youngster embarked on a punishing schedule of races coming up to Christmas, starting with victory in his first-ever cross-country race - the U-13 2,000m at the Star of the Sea Invitational - running in the colours of Dunleer AC.
Jack then lined out for his school Callystown NS in the Garda Sports Day 400m final, overcoming a terrible start to snatch victory in the last 10 metres. Next up was the Louth Cross-Country Championships where he dominated the Under14 race to take the gold medal, despite running out of his age group. Not surprisingly, he went on to win the Under-13 title by a resounding margin.
Donning the colours of his school again for the Drogheda & District Schools Cross-Country, hosted as always by St Joseph's CBS, Jack kicked for home from 200m out to win the 500m race for national school pupils, Callystown's first-ever such success.
Taking a break from athletics, the Dunleer AC starlet represented Aer Lingus Swimming Club in the Leinster Open Grading Gala at the NAC, competing with swimmers up to 19 years of age. Jack competed in three races on the day, winning a Leinster individual gold in the 100m freestyle and two individual bronze medals in the backstroke and butterfly 100m events.
Putting on the running spikes once more, he made his provincial cross-country debut at the Leinster Even Ages Championships, overcoming another bad start to finish third in the Under-14 race where he was again running out of his age group.
The Callystown ace went on to win the Under-13 2,500m title with nearly 20 seconds to spare, defeating the defending Leinster champion in the process.
Another convincing victory followed in the Under-13 1500m race at his home club's Noel Mc Guill/Sandra Floyd Memorial Cross-Country meeting.
The following week Jack entered his first All-Ireland CrossCountry Championship and came eighth overall, collecting an individual medal (top 12) when running out of his age in the Under-14 event.
Back in the spikes two weeks later Jack entered the All-Ireland Cross-Country Championships and finished a close second in the U-13 2500m in a race featuring more than 140 other competitors.
That silver medal was achieved despite the fact he had competed in five individual races at the ESB Swimming Gala in Dublin the day before!
First up for Jack was the 100metre freestyle where he swam very well to take the gold medal out of more than 50 entrants. Another gold followed in his favourite event, the breaststroke 100m, and he then completed a hat-trick by touching first in the 100m individual medley race, comprising all four strokes.
A bronze medal followed in the 100m backstroke, missing out on silver by a hundredth of a second, and in the final individual race of the day Jack took the silver medal in the 100m butterfly. He also steered Aer Lingus to gold in the 200m medley relay, and after running the All-Ireland Cross-Country Jack stopped off in Dublin on the way home and swam the last leg of the Senior 200m medley relay to help his club claim yet another gold medal.
Topping his achievements last year in 2013 will take mighty effort! of a


text: Hi guys. So I'm 21 (22 this year), finished uni and just started a 'real' job. I am currently living at home with my parents and brothers as it isn't necessary for me to move our yet. I dont want to rent a place as I dont like the idea of pay for someone elses home. By the end of the year I will have enough money to put down as a deposit for my first place, but the problem is, I also want to spend around 6 months to maybe even a year travelling somewhere ( Im thinking of SE Asia) by 2016. So this is my dilemma. Any advice?

Where I stayed
JOURNEY: Adelaide River, Darwin
WEATHER: 26 degrees at 10am, reaching mid 30s later
OVERNIGHT: Shady Glen Caravan Park, $36 pn with power.
After many conversations with people about how hard it is to get accommodation in Darwin we mad a reservation at Shady Glen, 10 kms from city on the bus route and bicycle path. It was shady and nice enough and we parked here for 5 nights to get some essentials attended to and look around the town. Darwin is certainly busy at this time- school holidays, grey nomads in caravans and seasonal workers all seeking somewhere to stay. apparently there are 150,000 grey nomads on the road in the Territory!
We were pleasantly surprised by the ambience of the city and admired the modern appropriate development around the harbour. "Darwin is closer to Bali than Bondi" from Lonely Planet, and is situated on the Timor Sea. Real estate and rentals are expensive and the city has a relaxed young feel to it. Most people know that Darwin was wiped out by a cyclone Tracey in the 70s and rebuilt into a modern new city. We struggle with the heat and wonder how locals call this winter.
The famous Mindil Markets are disappointing to us but we linger to take in the rock band and wait for the likewise famous sunset; we marvel at the huge crowd assembled on the beach to view the sun fall below the horizon and recognize the magic of hype because this is just an average sunset but publicity has attracted big crowds. The food was average and the produce typical market junk! Oh well we checked it out.
We have an interesting experience buying Kath a new pair of Asics from AMart with the young shop assistant impatiently asking her to make up her mind on the kind of Asics she wanted because trying on so many shoes was counter productive- despite the fact that we were his only customers, he just came by with disdainful comments and when we asked to have the shoes unlocked from each other so that she could walk in them, he told us to go to the counter and ask there. Happily we were able to choose a pair with trail tracks to prevent slipping on gravel etc. and after waiting a long time for someone to take our money we eventually left with the shoes and the worst ever shopping experience! The much loved orange/red Asics with the dog bite in the heel were sadly dumped in a bin.
We are doing a 3 day canoe trip down the Katherine River on July 25th (Kath's mum's birthday present to her- thanks mum) so needed to get some straps for our sun glasses and we also needed to top up the groceries so we found the Casuarina Square Shopping Centre on our way back from a couple of hours at Casuarina Beach- the tide was too far out to contemplate a swim but the shady park area was a pleasant place to have morning tea!!
We toured the city in the heat and on foot, spent some time arranging tours in Western Australia and working on our time schedule and deciding on our route there. Of couse we make plans and then alter them to fit the circumstances, because you get to a place and decide it is worth a few more days or only one day, and then someone tells you of a "cannot miss" destination and it is back to the drawing board.It is fun!
After 5 days in Darwin and with the school holidays soon to end, we headed south to Litchfield National Park via Batchelor.

100 Years Ago in the forward
The Forward received a heartbreaking letter from the two young Volotshinsky sisters, 6-year-old Hinde and 4-year-old Gishe, addressed to their father, who abandoned them and their mother in a shtetl near Minsk nearly five years ago: "Dear Father, we're sending you a photograph of us so you can see what we look like. You shouldn't get the idea that because we are barefoot in the photograph we sent that we go out and play in the street like that. The fact is, we just don't have any shoes. We are thin and bent from hunger. Have pity on us, dear father. Think about your poor children. It is time that you took some pity on us. Help, save us, dear father. Now you can see with your own eyes what has become of us. Mother is sick and cannot care for us. Take pity on us."
75 Years Ago in the forward
Although German government officials deny it, their supporters are still distributing significant amounts of pro-Nazi propaganda throughout the United States. It was recently discovered that a Nazi front group, the German-American Commercial League, had set up shop in the pretty little town of Suffern, N.J., where the group maintains a kind of summer resort in which, it was noticed, members walk around naked a lot and hold pro-Nazi rallies. It was also noticed that every car in their parking lot has a swastika emblem. They also occasionally march through the town in rows of six, singing Nazi songs and cursing Jews. Suffern's residents have had enough of this behavior and are taking measures to put a stop to it. The German-American Commercial League was not available for comment. Two things that are known are that the group claims 380,000 members in the United States and Canada and that its headquarters is at 12 West 77th Street in Manhattan.
50 Years Ago in the forward
In a dramatic speech to the Knesset, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion warned both the Eastern and Western blocs against appeasing the Arabs at the expense of Israel. The Israeli prime minister said that the Jewish state would fight with all its military might against any attempts to reduce the borders of the country. He also said that he would request that, instead of using either the Soviets or the Western countries as a conduit, the Israelis meet the Arabs face to face in order to achieve a lasting peace. Ben-Gurion added that all the parties involved, from the West to the Soviets to the Arabs themselves, know that Israel will meet with anyone in order to discuss a permanent peace.
