TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Barreling out of Florida with money and momentum on his side, Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney said Wednesday that the bare-knuckled nomination fight thus far has toughened him up for contests to come. Chief rival Newt Gingrich is regrouping after a significant loss and faces serious disadvantages in the next states to vote.
FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — President Barack Obama called on Congress Wednesday to make it easier for millions of additional homeowners to refinance their mortgages at lower interest rates even if they owe more than their homes are worth. He conceded that his administration's housing plans so far have not lived up to their promise.
Calling the housing problem "massive in size and in scope," Obama detailed a proposal he outlined in his State of the Union speech last week, tackling an issue of vital concern in states key to his re-election.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Mitt Romney won a commanding victory in the Florida primary Tuesday night, rebounding from defeat and taking a significant step toward the Republican presidential nomination. Despite the setback, Newt Gingrich vowed to press on.
Returns from 38 percent of Florida's precincts showed Romney with 48 percent of the vote, to 31 percent for Gingrich.
Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum had 13 percent, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul 7 percent. Neither mounted a substantial effort in the state.
The winner-take-all primary was worth 50 Republican National Convention delegates.

SANTA FE (AP) — A proposed $5.6 billion state budget hit a last-minute snag in a House committee Monday after Republicans objected that several of the GOP governor's initiatives might get chopped if the state's revenue outlook dims.
The Appropriations and Finance Committee postponed a final vote on the budget, and the chairman, Rep. Henry Kiki Saavedra, D-Albuquerque, said he was surprised by the GOP complaints because members of the panel had tentatively agreed last week on provisions of the spending plan.
The budget proposal calls for a spending increase of nearly $216 million, or about 4 percent, in the fiscal year that starts July 1.

Editor's note: This is the second in a two-part series.
Hildegard Merrill, of Candles Delight, LLC - one of the principals in the Los Alamos Plaza development – has been the defendant in two lawsuits that shed some light on her career in real estate. The former broker turned developer and her partner are currently trying to beat the clock on a court-mandated deadline to repay more than $1.2 million or lose the prime property on Trinity Drive to foreclosure.
Key allegations in the earlier lawsuits involve fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. Although Merrill contends she did nothing wrong, both judgments were decided in favor of the plaintiffs and upheld in appeals.
John Warren was awarded a disputed condominium and over $65,000 in damages after suing Merrill for fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and ejectment. Merrill received over $50,000 credit against the damage awards for reimbursements for storage, mortgage, taxes, homeowners' association dues and other payments she made related to the condominium.
Benjamin and Inez Samuels also won a judgment against Hildegard Merrill.
The Samuels agreed to have Merrill list a condominium they were selling and to buy a condominium owned by Merrill. The Samuels agreed to buy the property "as is," subject to an inspection and their written agreement that any "applicable contingency" revealed by the inspection be removed in writing by them.
Escrow would open and close concurrently on both properties. Merrill was also designated the sole real estate broker for the sale of her property.

The London-listed mining behemoths Xstrata and Glencore are to stage a £50bn merger, raising hopes that the market for corporate megadeals could at last be recovering.
Facebook's $100bn (£63bn) flotation plans, and last week's $5.7bn bid for Illumina by the pharmaceuticals giant Roche had already encouraged City dealmakers. Mark Pacitti, a corporate finance partner at Deloitte, said: "With Roche, then Facebook, and now Xstrata and Glencore, we have three big deals in a matter of days. This is an indicator we could see increased deal activity in 2012."
Glencore, the commodities trader, and the mining giant Xstrata are considering an "all-share merger of equals which may or may not lead to an offer being made". Mick Davies, head of Xstrata, would become chief executive of the combined group; Ivan Glasenberg, Glencore's billionaire head, would be his deputy. The deal would add massively to Glencore's control of mining assets across the world, expanding the empires of its secretive commodities trading heads, such as Tor Peterson and Daniel Mate.
Under the UK's "put up or shut up" rules, Glencore has until 1 March to make a formal offer or walk away. Mr Glasenberg has been pushing for a deal with Xstrata for years. Last May Glencore, based in Switzerland, became the first company in 25 years to be fast-tracked into the FTSE 100 index in London's biggest flotation. It already has a 34 per cent stake in Xstrata. Xstrata is also listed in London and based close to Glencore.
Glencore is the world's largest commodities trader, controlling 32 per cent of the internationally traded market for thermal coal, used to fire power stations, and with a large presence in products including oil, gold and foodstuffs. However, the combined group would be overwhelmingly a mining company, with commodities trading accounting for only 19 per cent of its 2011 profits, according to an analysis by Credit Suisse.
Glencore helped create Xstrata, selling it coal assets in 2001 to boost the fledgling miner's operations.Reuse content

"Did you make a decision, my dear?" my father asked as he escorted me to my bedchambers.
"Yes," I said quietly, my slipper clad feet tapping on the marble floors. "There were three men that struck my fancy."
"Good," he said happily. "Give Juliet their names and we will make sure they are invited as soon as possible."
"I'll write the invitations," I said and he beamed.
"Even better! Good night, dear," he said and kissed my cheeks.
My lady-in-waiting was straightening my pillows when I came in. She smiled and curtsied to me.
"Good evening, Princess Angel," she said. "Did you have a good time?"
"Yes, I did," I said. I sat at my writing desk while she took my tiara off and started to brush my hair. "Tell me, how well do you know the people of the village?"
She shook her head. "Not very well, I'm sorry to say. Did you find a young man?"
I thought to the timid man in the dark suit. I remembered the look in his eyes when he saw me and felt my cheeks go pink.
"There were three," I said. "I'm going to write them letters of invitation and have them sent out. Will you deliver them to the messenger for me when I am done, Juliet?"
"Of course I will, Your Majesty." I arched a brow at her over my shoulder and she laughed. "Very well, Angel."
I laughed gently.
I had just finished making breakfast for father and his... friend, when there was a knock on the door. I straightened my shirt again and opened it. Another royal messenger stood there with a small envelope. He was beaming at me and I smiled back nervously.
"From Her Highness, Princess Angel Blackmayne," he said then walked off.
I looked at the envelope, my hand shaking. In curvy letters of green ink was my name. She had written this herself....
"Who was that?" my father asked in the fake happy voice he used when we had guests.
I glanced up. He was dressed but his friend was just in her slip and I looked away.
"Just someone with a letter for me."
He laughed but it didn't reach his eyes. "What kind of letter?"
"It's...." I sighed. "It's from the princess," I said and, as I suspected, his eyes darkened.
I stood to the side and opened the envelop to avoid looking at him practically taking the woman there on the table. I heard her giggle breathlessly as he murmured into her ear. My hands still shaking, I unfolded the sheet of thick parchment inside.
Sir David,
I would be most honored if you would join me at the palace for three weeks. I very much wish to know you better. Perhaps you can show me how you manage to drop a glass goblet without it breaking.
Angel Blackmayne
I couldn't stop the smile from appearing on my face. That is, until the door shut and the letter was snatched from my hand. I took a deep breath as he read it.
"You spoke to the princess," he said slowly. "And you dropped something in front of her. Does your stupidity know no bounds!?"
"She asked me to dance," I whispered. "I did not approach her."
He backhanded me and I crashed into the wall to my right, my head bouncing off of it. I wanted to grunt in pain but that would just make it worse.
"Don't lie to me," he snarled.
He punched me in the stomach and I bent over as the air left my body. He kicked my feet out from underneath me and I fell onto my already heavily bruised back. A grunt escaped my throat and he growled in anger. For several minutes, all I was aware of was his foot constantly kicking and stomping on me.
With one last kick at my face, he spat on me.
"Let's see her fall in love with you now," he sneered. "Pack up your things and get the hell out of my house. I don't want to see you ever again. Either marry the bitch or don't come back."
I staggered to my feet and looked away as I walked to my room. He shoved me and I ran into the closed door. He laughed cruelly before disappearing into his.
I didn't have many clothes so I was ready within minutes. I glanced at myself in the mirror first, though. My cheek was already starting to bruise and his boot had cut my lip. It was swollen and bleed profusely. I held the cuff of my sleeve to it, shouldered my bag, and left without a word to my father.
I stopped by James' shop first. It was still early enough that not many people were out but I knew he'd answer.
"I've come to return your suit," I said, getting ready to take the bag off my shoulder but he stopped me.
"Keep it," I heard him say. I wasn't looking at him. "David? What's wrong? Where are you going?"
"Um... the princess has requested I spend time at the palace. I suppose.... Thank you for your help. I hope to see you again."
He grabbed my arm and I winced. It was bruised from when my father had gripped me there last night.
"Look at me, David," he said quietly.
"I have to go," I said.
"Don't make me make you," he said and I sighed. I turned around and looked at him. He studied my face then led me upstairs. "Did he do it this morning?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," I mumbled.
"Sure you don't," he said somewhat angrily.
When we got up to his house, Belle saw me and her eyes widened. James had me sit down and turned to sign something but she was already coming over with a box. He smiled and kissed her gently.
"I love her. She always knows what I need before I ask," he said quietly. "Now, did he do it this morning?"
"Yes," I said, figuring there wasn't any point in lying anymore. "I have to go, though."
"How long will you be there?" he asked, ignoring me as he pressed a swab to my lip to soak up the blood.
"Three weeks," I said.
"Will you be going back home?"
His voice was even but I could see anger in his eyes. Belle and James were unable to have children and sometimes I felt like that was why he had spent so much time with me when my father's beatings drove me out of the house. It was James that taught me how to shave and how to properly knot a tie. I lied to my father and said I had been watching him which earned more beatings but, if I told him the truth, I wouldn't be the only one getting hit.
"No," I said. "He's kicked me out."
James looked at the bag at my feet. "So that's all your belongings?" I nodded. "You can come back here." He smiled as he applied ointment to the split on my lip. "Though I don't think you will need to."
"You're very kind but I don't want you to have to-"
"Hush," he ordered, "or I won't be able to clean this completely."
I did as he said but I knew that he was just getting me to stop talking. I was touched that he would open his house to me when I returned. I looked around while we waited for the ointment to dry. It was a pleasant home. As soon as you opened the door, you were in a large room that had a big fireplace for cooking, a couch, a small table with three chairs, and a place where Belle knitted. I could see myself reading by the fire light...
"We'll see," I whispered when he put a small bandage on the cut. I winced. "What was in that medicine?"
"I don't know," he laughed. "Belle made it and told me once but I was too distracted."
I frowned. "By what?"
He smiled at his wife. She was knitting again. "By her, David. The ointment will also help with the swelling. Sadly, I don't have anything for your bruise." He chuckled. "You can play it off that you got in a fight with someone who was insulting the princess," he said as we walked back downstairs after I waved goodbye to Belle.
I chuckled. "Yeah, I suppose I could." I sighed when we got to the door. "James," I began but he did something I didn't expect.
He hugged me gently.
"Take care, David," he said. He stepped back. "Now get out of here before you bring all the ladies running in."
I laughed. "I'll be in touch."
He smiled knowingly at me and I waved.
The streets were busier now that the sun was higher. I was almost to the castle gates when I heard my name. I turned to see a young man I recognized from the fields. He had a broad grin on his face.
"You got one, too?" he asked and I nodded, smiling back at him. He stuck his hand out. "Hugo."
"David," I returned. "Well... obviously you knew that already."
He laughed. "Can I walk with you?" he asked and I nodded. "She's beautiful, isn't she?"
"She is the physical representation of her name," I agreed and he grinned.
"Ah, I have a poet walking beside me!"
I just smiled at him. We were stopped in the entryway. Three other men stood but they were dressed in a servant's outfit.
"David?" one of them asked and I nodded. "My name is Octavius. I will be your personal assistant while you are here. Follow me to your room."
"See you around," Hugo said cheerfully and I smiled again before following Octavius up the stairs.
"The welcome lunch will be held in the dining room in three hours," Octavius said as we walked. "I will come to retrieve you if you'd like."
"This palace is huge," I breathed as we passed another staircase going up.
"Yes, it is," he acknowledged. "Now, you will be joined by two of your fellow village men. I guess you already met one of them. The third has not yet arrived," he added bitterly then cleared his throat.
"You know him, don't you?" I asked.
"Here's your room, David," he said evasively. "I'll come get you in three hours."
I frowned but nodded. "Thank you."

Now that the volcano in Iceland is subsiding, travelers and travel industry professionals are assessing the damage: 95,000 cancelled flights, $1.7 billion in lost revenue, and untold inconvenience.
To that last point, I want to know if any SmarterTravel readers have had their travel plans disrupted by the volcano, or if you're worried that future travels may be affected. Personally, I'm heading to Spain and France in less than two weeks, and I'm crossing my fingers that the dozing volcano doesn't wake up again.
So, whether you were stranded or simply fear that the worst is not yet behind us, leave a comment below and share your story. Thanks!

The agreements were signed by commerce secretaries of both the nations after hectic parleys on commercial and economic cooperation for two days at the capital city of Pakistan, Islamabad.
The three agreements between both the nations aimed at redressing trade grievances, maintaining quality standards and cooperating in customs issues to normalise trade relations.
"Both sides expressed satisfaction on signing of the three agreements--redressal of trade grievances agreement, mutual recognition agreement and customs cooperation agreement--and directed the relevant authorities to frame rules and procedures to fully implement these agreements. These agreements are expected to substantially facilitate bilateral trade mechanisms," said a joint statement issued after the Sept 20-21 talks.
Along with deepening trade and economic ties and vowing to end restrictions on trade through the land route, India and Pakistan also explored options for better railways and air connectivity to further promote investments between the two countries.
"Pakistan has agreed to normalise trade and grant the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India by the end of the year, which would facilitate greater trade between the two nuclear-armed neighbours," informed sources.
The effort taken by the two nations in the past few months to repair trade ties will go a long way in building confidence between India and Pakistan, which have shared constant political tensions in last six decades.
Sources inform that the next round of talks is scheduled to take place in India in April 2013.

another great product
By URSULA
from MAPLE RIDGE
So far all Perlier products I have purchased have been a winner. I knew this was going to be another great choice, and I was right. I like the initial fruity smell, which dissipates after a while and my skin feels soft.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Akhilesh Yadav unveils Noida, Greater Noida projects from Lucknow
He gave Noida and Greater Noida a miss reportedly due to a superstition that any serving CM who visits the two cities loses the next poll.
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday unveiled projects worth Rs 3,300 crore for the development of Noida and Greater Noida from Lucknow on Tuesday. Akhilesh unveiled the projects from the state capital giving Noida and Greater Noida a miss reportedly due to a superstition that any serving chief minister who visits the two cities loses the next election.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said that Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway authorities had a budget almost equalling Delhi and so the development work in the two cities should be expedited. The two cities have got new projects worth Rs 3,337 crore.
Akhilesh laid the foundation stones and dedicated the projects to public from his official residence Lucknow. The projects include two sub-stations at the cost of Rs 1,016 crore, a proposed district hospital worth Rs 424 crore in Noida, a medical university with an estimated cost of Rs 500 crore and an administrative block to be set up at a cost of Rs 300 crore at Greater Noida.
But Samajwadi Party leaders rubbished the rumours that Akhilesh did not come to Noida due the fear of losing elections. Samajwadi Party MP Naresh Agarwal said that his party and Akhilesh did not believe in the superstition.
However, several state chief ministers who visited Noida failed to retain power. These leaders include Veer Bahadur Singh, Narayan Dutt Tiwari, Kalyan Singh and Rajnath Singh. All these leaders toured Noida only to lose in the next elections and with it their chief ministership. Even the previous chief minister Mayawati avoided visiting Nopida for a long time after assuming power in 2007. But in 2011 Mayawati came to Noida and lost power in the 2012 Assembly elections.

Flood Insurance for 7th floor condominum apartment.
SUBMITTED: Saturday, June 29, 2013POSTED: Saturday, June 29, 2013
I have lived in a seventh-floor condominium apartment for 10 years and never had to pay flood insurance. Our HOA's policy was satisfactory for my mortgage company. I recently refianced with the same mortgage company and now have to cover my apartment with a "gap policy" for 172,800.00, with a 5,000 deductible which I'll never use. Since the economic down turn in 2008, our condo values have decreaced to half their worth. My unit in today's market is probably worth 80,000.00. We have a small river about 2000 feet from our building that never flows over, more than enough drainange in the parking lot and city street. The banks are saying that if the building's foundation is ever compromised, the building would be condemned and we could not retrieve our unit contents without flood insurance. The tenth floor is paying flood insurance. Our building is built on a concrete slab with concrete posings and the only thing that would compromise the foundation, is a bomb or an earthquake. I question those without mortgages who are not paying flood insurance. Would they too be restricted from retrieving their contents? I've been told that since hurricane Sandy and other storms, FEMA has changed all the flood maps to their advantage to collect money for their depleted funds. It's outrageous that people like myself, a senior citizen on a very fixed income, have to pay out all this money for nothing. Something should be done to either lower these high premiums for this flood insuranc or for us not to have to purchase it at all.

Packs compact, great for travel between warm and cold climates.
I use this for everyday use. It doesn't snow where I live but can get a little nippy. Its a nice jacket to pull out for those in-between days where you don't want to lug out a heavy pea coat but need something more than a sweatshirt. Plus its great for dressing down from wearing a fancy wool coat but not being as cas' as sweats. The sizing questions online gave the perfect recommendation. It fits perfectly and even has comfortable space to wear tees or sweaters inside. I love it!!!
I bought one of these bras a month ago to wear while I work out . I needed something to control the bounce of my DDD's while not cutting into my shoulders. I love love love this bra!!! I have since ordered 3 more and plan on ordering more. This bra will not only be my workout bra but will replace all of my every day bras. They are super comfortable.
The bras I ordered were made very well and available in larger sizes for women my size 42d. They arrived quickly and the packaging was excellent. I would like to make one suggestion...please consider making the shoulder straps about three inches longer for people like me who have a long torso.
I am 15, I do cross country and these are the only shorts I can wear anything else is uncomfortable! They are super durable and not only can I wear them to practice but as daily wear! I recommend these shorts for everyone! Acadamy is awesome because u really don't find the colors and prices here anywhere else
I have been buying this shorts every year for the past 6 years. The fit of the tempo short is perfect and I like them so much they are the only workout shorts I buy now. I don't find them to be too short or too long. And they come in so many different color options that I can still look cute while working out. Although these are running shorts, I use them for everything from working out to just hanging around the house. If I am in casual clothes you can bet I am in my nike temp shorts.
I like to sit on cloth when I sit down not have my skin touch where who knows what has touched. So, sorry had to return. Loved the fit, colors, and price otherwise.
I bought 4 pairs of these for my wife for Christmas. She likes to wear these around the house because they are comfortable.
I first bought a pair of these shorts in the store, then went online to get more in different colors. They are so comfortable - the fabric feels really soft like a brushed cotton. They run true to size, and have pockets - which I love, but are hard to find in athletic shorts these days.
I have been looking for shorts with 2 pockets that were not too short or too long. I ordered 3 pair of these in a size medium, but they were a little tight. (I am 5'10" and weigh 148) BUT, I took them back to my local store and tried on the large and they were perfect! No problem at all, such an easy transaction. So, I came back to the website today to order another 3 pair. And I must say, they keep their color and get softer after every wash. The perfect short!!! You can flip them up if you ... want a little more sun on your legs, and then can flip them down for modesty.
These capris are one of the greatest products North Face has come out with yet. I also have the matching pants. They have their "flash dry" technology; they breathe; are so soft, the fabric feels luxurious, they are high quality; yet can be dressed up or down & worn for absolutely any occasion, either for very athletic; indoor workouts, hard core gym workouts, throw in the wash, they are dry in a "flash" & ready to wear to an evening elegant event; or to wear around town to do shopping, etc. or ... just to cozy up & watch a movie on TV. Great Work North Face!! You Score again!
Love these and I got the grey pair at TNF store in Murray, but they were out of the black so i bought them online l later as well. Wear an XL and usually a 16 in pants. 5' 10" and curvy. I love how they fit my legs and hips but wish the elastic waist was a little looser for more comfort. Love that they are nice enough to wear out and about and then to the gym.
I bought this as a present for my granddaughter. She is soooo picky. It had to be dark colored, with a hoodie, no zipper, very little logo or writing on it, and with kangaroo pockets. It was so hard to find one just right until we found this one at Academy. She loved it. Perfect size, perfect everything.
I bought this as a gift and my daughter loves it (even though it came as a zip front instead of a pullover, which she likes better anyway.)
I have been trying to find comfortable underwear without seams that would breath and be lightweight. These are those underwear! You forget that you are wearing them!
This is one of the best under armour pieces I have ever bought. Very warm form fitting just great all around. And a great pink color with black piping.
Nice jacket and fits me well. I had to order my size online but it arrived quickly and was exactly what I wanted.
I bought this a month ago and so happy I did. Will definitely order again.
They are form fitting, but not where you will be worried if everyone can see all the flaws. They're very flattering! I have a big booty, and pretty muscular legs, and even then it's still flattering. Favorite! I do have to pull them up at times, but I probably should've ordered a size down. Regardless, they're perfect!
These are so comfortable and really cool, which is great for this summer heat. They're probably one of my favorite pair of leggings.
I'm shocked how much I love these. They're a little flashy for my taste but I fell in love once I tried them on. I have no butt and my tummy is my problem area but these things hug in all the right ways, so flattering, and stay up well enough to run in. I get complements every time I wear them.
Bought these for my daughter. She is very pleased with them. They are warm,, comfortable, and fit well.
Bought these online knowing I could return if they didn't fit. No where in the description did it provide the length of the skort. Sadly, they were too short so I had to return. No problem returning at the store. I only gave 4 stars because of lack of information. The quality of these skorts seemed very good.
My boys play baseball and I wanted some skorts that were comfortable, light weight, and cool in material. These are perfect! I bought the light gray one a few years ago and loved it! I found the black, dark gray, and khaki ones online. I love, love, love the fit, material, and look of these skorts.
Great fit, love the built in panty! Comes in lots of colors.
I bought these a few weeks ago. And I love them. Pockets are awesome
I bought these for my daughter and she loves them. She don't have to worry about them moving on her head.
I bought this for my grand daughter for Christmas adn she loves it and has worn it several times.
Bought 2 pairs a month ago and love them. The waist band does not dig and the length is perfect.
I bought this jacket a month ago. I absolutely love it. The jacket is light weight yet provides a lot of warmth. I am 5' 11" and ordered a size L. The sleeve and jacket length are perfect.

You purchased your Courier because its reliability and American engineering appealed to your senses; so why would you settle for second best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts? Your Ford dealership isn't the only place to buy trusted parts to repair your Courier. Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a brand you can trust built into each Ford, and know that only the highest quality replacement Courier parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done. It's not every day that you discover you need a replacement Coolant & Radiator Hose to fix your vehicle.
The engineers that designed the motor in your vehicle have determined an optimal operating temperature. That's why your Ford Courier engine has a system of radiator and coolant hoses connecting its vital cooling components. The radiator hoses under your hood connect the radiator to the water pump and to the engine block, while other coolant hoses direct coolant through or past the thermostat housing, heater core, and the coolant reservoir. If a Ford Courier radiator or coolant hose bursts, then your engine will lose its ability to maintain the prescribed operating temperature; leading to engine failure.
Don't let a Coolant & Radiator Hose repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the highest quality replacement parts. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents on the phone with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Ford Courier part for your project or repair. Given all the trouble that can be involved with performing maintenance on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. Need 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972 Ford Courier Coolant & Radiator Hose parts? We've got them right here.

The League of Frightened Men (Nero Wolfe Mysteries)
From one of America's best-loved writers, this second mystery featuring eccentric detective Nero Wolfe and his able assistant, Archie Goodwin, is deemed "the most interesting psychological study...and a treasure trove for a rich variety of Wolfean aphorism," according to Robert Goldsborough's introduction to Bantam's Crime Line edition. A group of Harvard alumni asks for Wolfe's help when one of their former classmates-Paul Chapin-appears likely to murder them all. Chapin, now a brilliant novelist, was left crippled by these men through a college hazing prank. Wolfe's insight and Archie's tenacity are enough to outwit the killer. 6 cassettes.

On the 23rd anniversary of the bombing of Pan Am 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, U.S. officials pledged to continue to hunt for those behind the terrorist act that killed 270 people, including the daughter of a Cape May County couple.
John Brennan, President Barack Obama's counterterrorism chief, said the bombing victims can rest more peacefully knowing that longtime Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi is dead.
He said the U.S. is pushing the new Libyan leaders for access and information into the deadly bombing.
The anniversary has never been easy for Susan Cohen, of Middle Township. Cohen lost her 20-year-old daughter Theodora the day the plane exploded over Lockerbie, killing 259 people on board and 11 people on the ground.
But this anniversary, the first since the death of Gadhafi, was a little bit easier to handle.
"(His death) has helped me get through today," Cohen said from her home. "He died a hideous and much-deserved death."
Cohen has long hoped for a full investigation into the bombing that Gadhafi is believed to have ordered and she welcomes news that the new Libyan government has said it will cooperate with American and British investigators.
"There are other people who would certainly know about this," she said.
Brennan made the comments Wednesday at a memorial service marking the anniversary of the bombing. Gadhafi's regime eventually took responsibility for the attack. Many of the victims were American.
"The new leadership of Libya understands the great importance we attach to this matter and we are working diligently to gain access to any information and individuals associated with this case," Brennan said, according to a USA Today report.
Two Libyans, Abdel Basset Ali Al-Megrahi and Lamen Khalifa Fhimah, were indicted by a federal grand jury in November 1991 on 193 felony counts in connection with the bombing. They were also charged in Scotland with murder and conspiracy in the Dec. 21, 1988, bombing.
Megrahi was convicted, but released to Libyan authorities on compassionate grounds in August 2009, while Fhimah was found not guilty and acquitted.
"We should find out as much as we can," Cohen said. "It is very important that as much information as possible comes out."
Cohen said she is hopeful that an investigation will lead to additional criminal indictments for those involved in planning and executing the bombing.
"If they find those people, they should go to trial. No one should be able to get away with blowing up an American civil airliner," she said.
Theodora Cohen would be 43 years old if she were alive today.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Nintendo shutters TVii video service for Wii U
Nintendo is shutting down its video service for the Wii U console less than three years after it began, but few users are lamenting its demise.
Nintendo is shutting down its video service for the Wii U console less than three years after it began, but few users are lamenting its demise.
Nintendo won't be abandoning hardware or licensing its game titles for use on smartphones, its President Satoru Iwata told analysts in Tokyo.
Nintendo cut the price on its flagship game console and introduced a portable system Wednesday, hoping to spur sales and better position itself for the year-end holiday season.
Nintendo's President said a lack of compelling titles for the Wii U is hurting sales, and promised to improve the console's lineup this year.
Japanese gamemaker Nintendo will combine its hardware teams for portable and home-based consoles, the first major change in its development structure in nearly a decade.
Sales of Nintendo's new Wii U game console appear to be lagging those of its famous predecessor in Japan after its opening weekend, though the company says both sold out and comparisons are largely meaningless.
The original concept for Nintendo's new Wii U game controller?
Amazon.com has released its paid streaming video service on Nintendo's new Wii U console, with a host of titles free to users who subscribe to its Amazon Prime service.
The console and the handheld GamePad in Nintendo's hot-selling Wii U form a special bond, thanks to proprietary smarts that Nintendo and Broadcom developed to drive high Wi-Fi performance.
Nintendo apologized to early buyers of the Wii U for outages on its new online gaming platform, but said sales of its new flagship game console were strong during its global launch Sunday in the U.S.
Nintendo's new game console the Wii U will go on sale in the U.S. Sunday as the company attempts to regain ground from Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's Playstation 3.
Nintendo said Thursday pre-order sales of its new Wii U console are strong and the game is likely to have shortages this holiday season after its launch.
Linus Torvalds released Linux 3.1 Monday and the new feature list is long and wide. Linux 3.1 includes a new iSCSI implementation and support for OpenRISC, Near-Field Communication chips, and -- get this -- Wii controllers.
Nintendo will slash the price of its 3DS handheld gaming device in Japan from mid August.
Japan's console and portable gaming market sank 16 per cent in the first six months of the year as new software failed to make a splash and sales of hardware fell, according to data released on Thursday.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Harold Filligree-Tock lay snoozing, lulled by the sound of three hundred simultaneous ticks. In a minutes time, the ticks would turn to bells and rouse him. Sure enough, the sound changed, and the mahagony-haired young man jerked awake.
'Quiet!' his velvet voice was sharp with the command; at once, the legion of pocket-watches returned to their melodic ticking.

Leading lawyers have voted to set up a pro bono group to boost the amount of pro bono work being carried out by the profession.
The decision was made at a meeting of lawyers organised by charity lawyer Andrew Phillips and backed by the Law Society and the charity Business in the Community.
The make-up of the group will be discussed over the next couple of months by a steering committee formed last week and made up of representatives from several leading City and national and regional firms.
Among the firms involved are Dibb Lupton Alsop, Mishcon de Reya, Linklaters & Paines, Clyde & Co, Baker & McKenzie, Clifford Chance and Rowe & Maw.
The group will discuss whether it should exist as an independent lobbying group or whether it should campaign to become a Law Society unit.
Pro Bono has been a highly sensitive area within the Law Society, which has been anxious to ensure that pro bono does not start to be viewed by the Government as a substitute for legal aid.
Law Society deputy vice-president Michael Mathews, who chaired the meeting, said: "At the moment legal aid has to be a priority and the two issues are not mutually exclusive. If a pro bono unit is set up by the Law Society we will have to look at each area of the law and how it relates to legal aid."
Tony Willis, a partner at Clifford Chance and a member of the working group, said: "More lawyers ought to be doing pro bono, but it cannot be imposed. I hope the Law Society will throw its weight behind it, but I understand it clashes with the legal aid debate.
"If all lawyers did pro bono work it would still only scratch the surface of unmet needs."
Tony Michaelson-Yates, a pro bono campaigner and ex-Linklaters & Paines lawyer who is also in the group, said: "The Law Society should not see the setting up of a pro bono unit as a threat to legal aid but as an opportunity to boost the image of the profession and get to grips with the technology which is changing the practice of the law."
Two years ago a Law Society enquiry ruled out making pro bono compulsory and recommended it should focus on areas not covered by legal aid.

While building stocks make solid strides, a few new issues in the sector have emerged as market leaders.
One of the newest stocks in the sector goes by the fitting name of New Home Co. (NWHM) The stock made its debut on the NYSE Jan. 31 at $11 a share and is trading around 14.
Tuesday's 7% surge to new highs could be considered a breakout from an IPO base with a 13.36 buy point. Volume of 264,000 shares was clearly higher than the stock's trend in its short trading history.
New Home designs and builds homes in California, including the pricey San Francisco Bay area and some coastal communities. Real estate prices have been rising sharply in the Golden State.
New Home has not made an annual profit, but is expected to earn 35 cents a share for 2013. It has not announced its Q4 earnings release date.
Taylor Morrison Homes (TMHC) has been forming a long base that dates back almost to its initial public offering in April.
The potential buy point is 27.77. The long basing period has resulted in a weak Relative Price Strength Rating, but the Accumulation/Distribution Rating and up-down volume ratio are bullish.
Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Taylor Morrison works in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida and Texas.
Its earnings growth is ballooning, although Q4 earnings had an easy comparison from a profit of 1 cent a share in the year-ago period. Sales growth ranged from 43% to 97% the past four quarters.
Taylor Morrison and New Home are among a half-dozen homebuilders that have gone public in the past 13 months, as the recovery in the housing market has revived market interest in the industry.
IBD's homebuilders industry group ranked 33rd out of 197 groups in Wednesday's edition; it was 139th six weeks ago. The group rose Wednesday on strong new-home sales data.
Continental Building Products (CBPX), a maker of wallboard and other materials, has been on a tear since its IPO on Feb. 5. The stock went public at 14 a share, when it raised about $150 million, and it closed Wednesday near 19.
The company has only recently started posting profits.

Waking to a StrangerMature
My heavy eyelids somehow found a way to open. I thought I was becoming blind but I realized that if I was blind then I would be seeing total blackness. Instead I stared up at the velvety violet sky. If I squinted tight enough, then I would have seen the faint specks of light scattered across the sky. It has to be midnight I guess, or maybe at least up to 2 A.M. judging from the shade of color the sky was draped with.
Movements and rustling of bushes caught my attention from the left side. I could make out a silhouette of a grown man. He didn't have a very large build but enough to make him a more-than-average guy.
"If it's a girl you're looking to prey on then there's more on the next block. They all take turns with their shift since they all came to work as prostitutes for the business, if you know what I mean. You know what I mean?" my speech slurred even after I slept throughout my hangout.
I felt like I was going to vomit all of a sudden. I would have guessed that it was because I still haven't gotten over my hangover but something about the fact that the mysterious man wasn't there anymore made me second guess.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP)-- A helicopter crash in southern Afghanistan has killed five American service members, officials said Tuesday.
Monday night's crash brought the total number of U.S. troops killed that day to seven, making it the deadliest day for U.S. forces so far this year. Two U.S. special operations forces were gunned down hours earlier in an insider attack by an Afghan policeman in eastern Afghanistan.
This does wonders for US Troop morale, our image before our allies and enemies alike and before our mirror.

(Warwick, RI)
My 38 year old beautiful daughter died on 9/4/13 from a prescription overdose. She left a 14 year old daughter, a sister and brother-in-law, two nieces and us, her parents. She had gotten married last June to a man we really did not know and were not that comfortable with but she was "in love". When he tried to strangle her this past August she moved back home and spent a wonderful two weeks with us, talking to us, reconnecting with her old friends, and just being our old Katie. Domestic strangulation is a felony in our state and her husband was remanded to the local correctional facility for a month. I need to add that Katie was bipolar and on many psychotropic meds. We were horrified to see her when she first moved back as she had lost so much weight from dealing with her husband; she was down to 80 pounds. Our goal was to feed her and help her through this ordeal. We even had a spa day together when she and I had our hair and nails done and I treasure that day forever. On 9/4/13 we came home to find her dead in our family room where she was living. It was a horror show as I just kept trying to wake her up as my husband called 911. EMS, Fire, police and the ME finally. We still do not have the ME report so we still do not have the final report as to what she died from but I have my suspicions . She did not do this on purpose as she would never have left the love of her life, her daughter and she certainly would not have bought a pack of cigarettes, Gatorade and stated her laundry.
I feel so lost and the holidays are coming. I have meltdowns in the strangest places, a grocery store when I see something she liked and I really do not like idle chatter when I'm standing in line somewhere listening to someone whine about nothing important. I can hear a sing and just cry. I have been to the doctor and am also in grief counseling. They tell me i'm doing great as my meltdowns are fewer and less intense but some days I feel like I am just going crazy and why, why, why? I know there is no answer to that. How do you get through this?

Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X3 is the latest version of an image editing program which for nearly 20 years has been the leading consumer alternative to Adobe Photoshop. Starting life in 1992 as a fairly basic raster painting and image editing package called Jasc PaintShop Pro, it has steadily developed over the years into a very powerful program. Jasc Software was acquired by Corel in 2004, and since then the program has undergone several changes, not least to its name which has got progressively longer and more complicated with each new iteration. The latest version changes the name from the well-known "PaintShop Pro Photo" to "PaintShop Photo Pro" for some reason that probably seemed like a good idea to Corel's marketing department.
PaintShop has always been seen as a cheaper alternative to Adobe Photoshop, and indeed its success was one of the main reasons that Adobe launched Photoshop Elements in 2001. PaintShop Pro is quite possibly the most pirated program ever made, and earlier versions (up to version 9.0) are freely available for download from a number of websites. The latest version is available as either a boxed program with a full printed manual, or as a download from Corel's own online store, priced at £79 for the full version or £59 as an upgrade from version 10 or higher. However if you shop go to Amazon you can find the full version for as little as £65. If that still seems a bit expensive, bear in mind that the latest version of Adobe Photoshop will cost you around £600, and even Photoshop Elements is around £75.

There is only one drawback to PaintShop Photo Pro X3 that Corel continues to neglect and that is making a native app of it for the Mac.
Although on the Mac, if you want a cheap alternative to Elements, there's Pixelmator http://www.pixelmator.com/ Not sure if it's as fully featured as Photo Pro X3, but it has a lovely native Mac interface.
Here's the deal for me. I originally used Corel PSP X2 as my only photo editing program. However, I eventually switched to Nikon Capture NX2 because I did not like the way PSP X2 handled the NEF RAW files. However, once I switched to Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, I wanted a program that runs in 64, so I began using Lightroom 3 beta, which I eventually preferred over Nikon Capture. I have now switched back to Corel PSP X3 after being dissatisfied with Lightroom's ineffective noise reduction. Now I am using both LR3 and PSP X3. I use the LR 3 for most of the editing and use Corel mainly for noise reduction, when and IF needed, but only after the photo has been converted to jpeg. I find PSP X3 crashes often when trying to work with NEF (Nikon) RAW files.
Excellent review Cliff. Just one thing missing - how stable and system-hungry is it? With Photoshop it's safe to assume the buyer will also invest in a powerful computer, but consumer-level software like PSP (PSPP?) needs to run reasonably well on fairly average systems - in my case dual-core machines around 2GHz with 4Gb of RAM and relatively low-end graphics cards. Other reviews have criticised X3 for being exceptionally slow, and some have also mentioned frequent crashes.
I am seriously considering X3 for desktop use - I have Elements 8 on the laptop and it's pretty good but I find the organiser frustrating and would like more control, while CS4 is overkill and far too expensive. But all the benefits of PaintShop are for naught if it wont't allow me to open and edit my 14mp RAW files without grinding to a halt or crashing. Any thoughts on this? Thanks.
My system spec is a dual-core 2.4GHz with 4GB RAM running Windows XP Pro. Having now used the program for several weeks I've not experienced a single crash. It is a little slow to start up, but once it's going it's noticeably quicker than PSPP X2. It uses around 100-160MB of RAM depending on what it's doing. I've had no problems opening 14MP Raw files, 50MB TIFFs or any other image files. In my opinion it's a much better option for a hobby photographer with a DLSR than Photoshop Elements. For one thing the organiser doesn't crash when presented with over 20,000 photos, which Elements 8 does.

Why You Need Internet Marketing
We took a gander at a few ways that single parents could have a business at home. We additionally quickly specified some internet advertising organizations to investigate. In this article we center more on this extremely vital and inconceivably developing field into which numerous are making a move.
Organizations, whether online or block and mortar, are currently understanding the force of web showcasing. The individuals who grasp it are profiting. The extent of the presentation for organizations is boundless, and getting comfortable with along these lines of advertising is yielding long haul accomplishment for the individuals who have the right stuff or salary to contract others to do it. Having a manual for web showcasing is not just essential it's imperative to business achievement.
Before continuing, how about we characterize what web showcasing is. In fundamental terms, it is web publicizing, otherwise called e-promoting and e-business. It can be moderately reasonable and is very successful. In this age, all organizations can benefit from web advertising.
Web promoting can likewise be an incredible profession for individuals why should looking have certain points of interest that having a standard occupation does not give. A couple of the fundamental points of interest are adaptability in area and time to take the necessary steps. A significant number of individuals, and particularly guardians, long for opportunity of time to be with their families while not agonizing over salary to deal with their necessities. This is a phenomenal approach to have those flexibilities.
Manage Your Digital Footprint With Online Reputation Management
It's unquestionably a sensible thought to take the business on the web. Prospects increase there and an assortment of advantages are likewise accessible. Essentially, the quantity of sites and assets is likewise blasting at an angry rate. As it were, the web is an impeccable spot to manufacture the brand and set the base of the business. Every one of your clients are online and you have no choice be there and tap into them. You ought to however find a way to screen and oversee remarks that clients provide for your business or site on the web. Clients won't keep down anything in the event that they are not satisfied with your business.
In spite of the fact that organizations advantage a great deal in going on the web, the stage does not generally help as it can infrequently turn into a reason for worry also. Take for instance, clients are allowed to impart their insight and they regularly post audits and give criticism crosswise over channels on the web. Positive surveys are dependably an appreciated thing for organizations however negative ones can doubtlessly bring about some harm. When all is said in done, cynicism against your business on the web can have a hindering effect as it dissolves the level of trust among existing and forthcoming clients. In such a situation, it gets to be critical to deal with the notoriety.
In this way, you ought to hope to profit by online notoriety administration in the event that it needs to stay important on the web. The reason for actualizing a notoriety administration system is to get to the underlying driver of the issues that are prompting a surge in unfavorable audits and unforgiving remarks against the business, its items, administrations or client administration. It's additionally about handling the hazard of negative audits and setting up a sound instrument. In notoriety administration, the business will attempt to reach to disappointed clients who are venting their anger against it and its items or administrations.
Believe the Lie
I was contemplating what number of lies there are contrasted with what number of truths there are.
In the event that you take 1 million net-specialists and give them a disappointment rate of 99%, then 990,000 will fizzle or you could have said, "Trusted the Lie' that they would profit on the web." They 990,000 neglected to make a benefit. Just 10,000 profited.
You could securely expect that lone 1% would make over $100,000 a year or 100 would make over this sum.
However, we attempt despite the fact that our aptitude set in net-working is dreary and in addition our ability set in promoting and publicizing. The normal net-laborer is at an awesome impediment and just sustains the thwarted expectation that some way or another they can beat the chances.
One reason one trusts the falsehoods is the way that they have no truths to be moved down by. What one individual does to wind up productive is very surprising from what another person does.
As I would see it, offering an item where you make a commission, goes just to a chosen few who might profit regardless of what they sold.
At that point how would you profit offering offshoots items? You don't! There are dependably a couple who will do well at this however the lion's share of us will come up short.
The Boy Who Cried Internet Marketing Egg-Spert
You've known about "The kid who told a shameful lie", right?
The acclaimed story showing you why lying's awful.
Be that as it may, I wager you've never heard the story of "The kid who cried web advertising "egg-spert"?
Anyway, here it is:
Quite a long time ago, there was a person who was exhausted as he sat in his stuffy office.
To stimulate himself, and to make a speedy buck or two, the person chose to shout out as loud as possible (and mortar everywhere throughout the web), that he was a web showcasing master who could help any individual who paid him to make "6 figures inside their first year!"
"Try not to cry egg-spert status," said the other individuals in the workplace. "Nobody will trust you when one day you may truly turn into a genuine master."
Later, disregarding their notice, the person shouted out once more, "Get rich brisk! I'm a web showcasing master who can make you rich beyond anything you could ever imagine!"
The general population 'round him were turning out to be progressively irritated as they understood that, at the end of the day, he was lying.
In any case, the egg-spert just snickered.
'Couple o' years after the fact…
The person truly had taken in his stuff.
Furthermore, he'd effectively executed everything in his own business.
Presently he knew he was in a honest to goodness position to really individuals profit.
Six Key Tactics the Pros Use For Network Marketing
In this article we address the accompanying:
Enrolling taking after the framework, rehearsing the scripts
Following potential selects and offshoots in your business
To be an expert system advertiser requires prospecting abilities in finding the right individuals for your chance. Numerous who are beginning the business frequently stopped utilizing the reason that they don't have the right stuff required to do it. A superior methodology would be to discover where you are deficient in the abilities and create yourself.
To pull in the right sort of individuals requires that you turn into an indent above who you are attempting to draw in and this may require some interest in yourself to get you to where you should be. You can't select a pioneer in the event that you are not one yourself. Furthermore, nor are you ready to enlist a more grounded pioneer than yourself.
To wind up a solid pioneer requires noteworthy measures of outlook and self-awareness preparing and improvement. You likewise need to move your center from having a worker mentality to that of having a business attitude. Nobody will screen your advancement and prize you when you are working for yourself. You are an entrepreneur. Initiative is an awesome expertise set to start to create, and it is extraordinary to realize that numerous fruitful pioneers were not conceived with the aptitude. So with the best possible time speculations you also can turn into a pioneer. This will enhance your chance to enroll.
Next is building up the right expertise set to comprehend what to say and when to say it. Honing your scripts until you can make it your own is likewise crucial. Keep it basic, the less you say the better. Spewing all over individuals about your item and opportunity is extremely ugly and will kill the right individuals and estrange you from your loved ones individuals.
To begin with take an ideal opportunity to meet new individuals and assemble compatibility to comprehend what their necessities are. Indeed, even now it may not be proper to present your chance. Because you've manufactured affinity is not a sign that the time has come to show your chance. The objective of an expert system advertiser is to meet new individuals and to discover what their necessities are and regardless of whether your item can be an answer for their requirements. Every one of this ought to happen within a characteristic discussion.
Every time you meet somebody interestingly, may not be the best time to discuss your business. It may not happen on the second or third event, yet ought to happen that you are building a relationship and compatibility. Building relationship after some time and staying in touch can make chances to realize what the other individual needs and regardless of whether your chance is a fit.
Realizing what to say at first to an outsider can be very overwhelming and terrifying as well.

Get an alert when new Fred Morrison dates are announced
Fred Morrison was born and raised near Glasgow, but it's the celebrated Gaelic piping tradition of his father's native South Uist that forms the bedrock of Fred's intensely expressive, uniquely adventurous style. Although his first-love instrument remains the Highland bagpipes, over the years his mastery has expanded to encompass whistles, Scottish smallpipes or reelpipes and Irish uilleann pipes. Dubbed the Jimi Hendrix of the pipes, Morrison has performed with seminal Scottish bands Clan Alpa and Capercaillie.

I invited Molly to write a post. Since she is the minority (but well-respected) voice here, I thought it was only fair. Thanks, Molly, for taking the time to share your thoughts and for providing a great topic to discuss:
Children Taking a Different Path
I was flattered when Deb asked me to write a post and thought I would stay true to her blog vision and talk about parenting. Of course most of us have different beliefs and often don't agree on certain topics, but I think we all want our kids to be happy, healthy, safe, kind, and contribute positively to the world. We probably also want them to share our beliefs. For me, it would be difficult to have my children fall away from the Catholic Church. I imagine likewise, you would be saddened if your children fell away from Atheism.
While Atheism is on the rise among adults who choose to leave their current religion (thus the overall number of Atheists is growing in the U.S.), some data indicates there are low retention rates for children raised in an Atheist home. Of course, all religious groups have a percentage of population that fall away. To capture a few, the report stated Atheists have a 30% retention rate, Jehovah Witness a 37% rate, Buddhists a 49% rate, Catholics a 68% rate, Mormons a 70% rate, and Hindus a 84% retention rate. The report is referenced here.
Now please don't misconstrue this post is a "dig" at Atheism for what appears to be a low retention rate among children raised in Atheist homes. That is absolutely not my point and it's certainly not a competition. A 68% retention rate for Catholics doesn't exactly have me bursting at the seams with pride (and what percentage of that 68% are even "active" Catholics…). The link I shared is from an Atheist site and he picks apart the data anyway. I just wanted to use the report to discuss the prospect of your children leaving your belief system, and how you would handle it.
My questions for you are as follows; and I would love to hear your perspective:
1. What do you suspect could be the reason(s) children raised in an Atheist home may become believers? Particularly when so many adults are losing their religion?
2. Do you think a child's departure from their parents' beliefs is more, less, or equally as painful for a non-believing parent as it is for a believing parent?
3. And most importantly, how would you handle this?
(These same questions can be answered by any believers too, i.e. in the event your child should leave your belief system or abandon the belief in God entirely)
Question 3 is particularly difficult for me. I wouldn't want to encourage my children to leave the Catholic church but I also wouldn't want to alienate them as so many of you have said you felt alienated by your families. Since many of you are first-generation Atheists, you will probably be the first people to face these situations or answer these questions. Just curious on your thoughts.

A Special OccasionMature
"Oh, Rowden! You bad wolf!" I licked my snout with my incredibly long tongue as I took out my sugar pouch. It was exactly that- a pouch filled with sugar. No one knew I had it, and I liked only to open it for special occasions.
"I must say what they say- everyday is an occasion." I opened the pouch with my gray paws and stared down at the pure white sparkly grains.
I reached in the bag and grabbed a tiny pinch in my paw. I held it up, but just as Iwas about to drop it in my specially-made Boiled Berry stew, someone tapped me on the right shoulder and I jumped so high my sugar flew all across the table.
Without looking behind me to see who the culpret was, I jumped on the table and tried gathering the fallen sugar grains. As I grouped the sugar together I heard giggling in front of me. I looked up to find Fuss laughing at my misfortune. But his laughter stopped when his eyes found the bag of sugar.
"What's in the bag, Rowden?" The words slipped off of his tongue mysteriously as I leaped to close the pouch.
"Uh, it's... salt. Just salt." I answered as I gently pulled velvet ropes closed. I gave a silent sigh of relief.
"A bag of salt? Salt? Rowden, please tell me you do not have a bag of salt. Just don't." He ended his sentence there and started forward, probably beginning one of his daily strolls.
My ears pricked up at a particular sound. They twitched, so I sniffed around me. I could smell something salty, which probably meant tears were being cried somewhere. Before Fuss could get far, I quickly trotted over to him to ask him something.
"What is that smell I smell, dear Fuss? And more importantly, what is that sound I hear?" The small man stopped and twisted his finger in his fluffy white mustache before answering.
"I believe that is Mr. Parkinson. When I was in his world, he was competing in some kind of contest where the kids have to spell words. Something close to a waste of time if you ask me. Anyways, he followed me all the way to Fusspot, I am afraid to say. A stubborn, stubborn boy."
With that he resumed his stroll. But instead of following him, I quickly made up my mind and went the opposite way. When I passed the table that had my stew on it, I consumed the berry flavored soup and grabbed the velvet pouch in my mouth. This was a special occasion indeed.

British unions are still giants compared with their French counterparts, whose violent clashes with police this week over rules to create more labour market flexibility mask weakness. Only 8% of France's workforce is unionised, compared with 26% in the UK and 13% even in George Bush's US.
Where France's fragmented unions often score is in gut sympathy from French voters for their own model of social protection. In Britain it is a good rule of thumb that a union which starts a dispute with apparent public support will rapidly lose it by virtue of its tactics, as the firefighters did in 2004.
As they prepare to shut schools, libraries, bus stations and leisure centres again after Tuesday's patchy stoppage - not to mention disrupt the May 4 local elections - Unison and its seven union allies run this risk.
"The last time the same unions tried to teach a Labour government a lesson [in 1978-79] we went into opposition for 18 years," one ex-minister recalled last night. No one, not even members of the Tory-led Local Government Association (LGA), denies that the unions have a legitimate grievance. Before last year's election Mr Prescott withdrew a threat to end the "85-year rule" which allows a local government worker to retire if his/her age and service add up to 85. That gesture cost the general taxpayer £450m this year and will again if he weakens now.
But union anger is fuelled by the fact that after the election Mr Prescott was persuaded not to raise the retirement age of 60 for current employees of central government, civil servants, health workers and teachers who work side by side with Unison's striking teaching assistants.
This amounts to double standards say Unison, the TGWU and other strikers. Except that Whitehall's are largely pay-as-you-go pensions, financed by taxes, whereas the LGA's scheme is fully funded by contributions (13% from the council taxpayer, 6% from employees) in the same way as private pensions.
Inevitably they have been hammered by the same stock market slump, the Treasury's £5bn raid, and by the success of the NHS in helping oldies stay alive longer. The wider pensions crisis is one of the tectonic plates scraping against another, Gordon Brown's coming squeeze on town hall spending. "The fat years are ending," says the experts' expert, Tony Travers.
Mr Prescott will scrap the 85-year rule, as EU anti-ageist law and demographics - longer retirement - require. So the unions will strike on, publicly claiming to defend low-paid women members, not higher-paid men.
The real issue is finding a fair replacement scheme for new workers, harder to achieve if renewed strikes alienate voters whose own pensions are less secure.
It could end in tears - hence Mr Prescott's gloom.
