YANGON – With its glossy pages of pouting models and racy romance tips, Myanmar's first sex education magazine has got the usually demure nation hot under the collar as it cashes in on newfound cultural freedoms.
The magazine Hyno has sparked fevered debate since hitting Myanmar's bookstores in November, becoming a must-read among the young and curious just a few months after the end of direct censorship in the previously junta-ruled country.
Perhaps tame by western standards, Hyno's photo spreads of scantily clad women and columns espousing "bedroom secrets" and "the benefits of cuddling" — as well as the more cryptic "modern lies before marriage" — have raised eyebrows in conservative Myanmar, earning it an adult rating.
But its editor brushes off accusations that the monthly publication is too risque for the country, or in any way as salacious as Playboy magazine — as critics have alleged on Facebook.
"This magazine is a combination of sex education and entertainment," Ko Oo Swe said, adding that the red label on the front page warning it is for over readers over the age of 18 has stirred the unfavorable comparisons. "Issues about sex remain hidden in Myanmar. Our society is becoming more open, but I think sex education is still weak."
Hyno — which translates as "enchant" or "hypnotize" — is the first magazine of its kind in the nation and is proving very popular despite the relatively pricey $3 cover price at bookstores and street stalls. Its debut follows the abolition in August of Myanmar's stringent prepublication censorship system, which had seen officials scrupulously flag photos or articles deemed distasteful to public morality, as well as those raising dissenting opinions.
But Hyno has raised the stakes so much that some bookstores refuse to stock the magazine, saying its aim is to titillate rather than educate. Ominously, the Ministry of Information sent a letter to the interim press council registering its unhappiness with the "unethical" lifestyle magazine.
Despite the uproar, Hyno's young readers believe it could play a major role in raising awareness of sexually transmitted diseases and, in the longer term, shifting rigid social mores as Myanmar pulls itself out of decades of isolation.
"For those who are quite old-fashioned, (sex education) is a very shameful thing," said Yoon Lae Khin, a 20-year-old student. "My mother understands there are things we need to know, but it is difficult to talk about sex in front of my father and siblings. So we need to get this awareness from magazines."
Medical professionals have joined Hyno's corner, saying it is high time the country talked about sex.
"Young people do not have enough knowledge, so problems occur such as underage pregnancy, pregnancy before marriage and infection with HIV/AIDS and venereal disease," said Khine Soe Win, a youth development project officer with the Myanmar Medical Association.
"Old-fashioned people turn their noses up in disapproval" of sex education, he added, criticizing them for judging the issue by the yardstick of "a culture they don't understand."
His comments were echoed by Ne Win, a doctor working for the U.N. Population Fund in Myanmar, who believes a modern, progressive media can fill the void left by the country's reluctance to promote sex education.
Yet while its editor says Hyno is here to stay, a battle is brewing with those who view it as a threat to decency. Mg Mg Lwin, manager of the Innwa Book Store — one of Yangon's leading bookshops — refuses to stock the magazine despite fielding a barrage of inquiries, mainly from women, about its availability.
"Even if someone gives me those magazines to sell at my shop, I will not accept them," he said defiantly.

Jayne Torvill has admitted that she's glad news of her romance with skating partner Christopher Dean has become public knowledge.
The Olympic champions have skated together for decades and had previously insisted that they were nothing more than platonic friends but in an interview with Piers Morgan last year revealed that they once had a short fling and 'dabbled' with romance, before marrying their respective partners.
The romance was short lived and fizzled out very quickly and Torvill is glad her fans know the truth and told The Sunday People:
"I'm pleased everyone knows."
She added:
"Chris revealed it and I'm glad it's out there.
"I don't mind that it came out. Everyone knows and I don't have a problem with it.
"I think it made me laugh really. Chris didn't know he was going to say anything like that.
"It's the way the questions were going and this was a spontaneous answer to that."
The short fling started when Jayne was 17 and Christopher 16, not long after they first started skating together.
Jayne is now happily married to husband Phil Christensen, and the pair live with their son Kieran and daughter Jessica, whom they adopted when they were babies.
Chris split from his wife, American skater Jill Trenary, in 2010 and has since confirmed his romance with fellow Dancing On Ice judge Karen Barber.
Barber has two daughters, Laura and Emma, with her former husband. She split from her partner shortly before getting together with Chris Dean, with whom she has been close friends since her teenage years.
While Jayne was happy to have her and Chris' affair out in the open, Karen didn't see it that way and during an appearance on This Morning last year she said:
"Piers spoke to me later and asked 'how do you feel about this?' and I said 'look Piers, we have all dabbled.' "
Karen added:
"They were 16 and 17 and it was innocent, so much so that I don't think it needs to be discussed a lot more."
"We've had Dabble-Gate. Hands up if you haven't dabbled."

This was the type of game the Celtics need to play. There wasn't a blowout at any point, the Celtics didn't make desperate shots to interrupt momentum, and they kept beating down their opponent to defeat the Heat, 107-102. Last time against the Heat, Dwayne Wade mustered 44 points in a Celtics victory, and this time, he managed 30 points as the Celtics completed the season sweep.
The Celtics kept it close, with no team leading by more than seven until the middle of the 4th quarter, when the Celtics took a 10-point lead. Until then, it was a close match all the way, with each team trading shots and rebounds the whole game. The Celtics really stepped up their game early by not forcing too many long shots. Out of 27 1st quarter points, 26 were in the paint and one was from the foul line.
Thanks to more masterful passing, particularly from Rajon Rondo, and Jermaine O'Neal and Rafer Alston getting technical fouls for the Heat with 6:28 left in the 3rd, the Celtics kept pushing ahead, but the Heat never went away. They were shooting 62.5% at the half, and finished the game at 52.1%. Once Tony Allen made a steal and was fouled with 36.5 seconds left and made two free throws to put the Celtics up by five, the Heat finally had to start fouling and making quick shots. With Ray Allen leading the way from there on, the Celtics used their free throws to seal the Heat away.
Another double-double led to 22 points and 14 assists for Rondo, thanks to perfect fake-out pass plays and scoring maneuvers. Another four rebounds and Rondo would have made it a triple double.
It was an overall good performance from Boston. If you need something, Scalabrine only managed one foul in 5:05, and Doc won't let Shelden Williams play anymore, but those are minor details.
"Great play at the end of the game by Tony; that was nice." – Doc Rivers on Tony Allen's steal from Dwayne Wade at the end of the 4th quarter.

Karachi, Mar 8(ANI): Karachi Dolphins coach Sadiq Mohammad has blamed his batsmen for their defeat in the thrilling RBS Twenty20 Cup semi final against Sialkot.
Chasing a target of 150, the Dolphins seemed to be clear favourites at the half way stage, but with four wickets down and the score on only 22, the game tilted in the favour of the Stallions.
A mixture of some reckless cricket and fantastic bowling and fielding from Sialkot ensured a seven run victory despite a strong middle-order batting line-up consisting of Fawad Alam, Shahzaib Hasan and Shahid Afridi.
Mohammad said that a gameplan was clearly outlined for his team, before they started to chase the score of 150 needed for victory.
"I said to the boys that you are facing experienced, international bowlers, don't disrespect them, play each ball on merit and don't try to smash every delivery out of the park. These are not club bowlers who you can smash around at will," Pakpassion quoted Mohammad, as saying.
"Asif hurt us with his opening spell and to lose three wickets with the score on 21 was hard to take. Nonetheless, I still felt that with our batting lineup and the fact that we had successfully chased down scores previously in the tournament, we could go on and reach the score of 150," he added.
The coach further said that despite his warnings and messages, which were sent to batsmen out in the middle, his players continued to play rash shots.
"We sent a message out to Shahzaib to keep his cool after his great start. He had given us a great start and we wanted him to try and stay there in the middle for 10 overs. However, despite he messages he lost his concentation and gave Sialkot their first wicket and the boost that they needed,"
"Shahid (Afridi) went in at number six which I thought was ideal for him. I wanted him to stay calm and to try and disturb the line and length of the bowlers. As an experienced international player he should have realised that the Sialkot fielders were all on the edge of the circle and his aim should have been to look for quick singles, to bring in the fielders and then try to hit over the top. Instead he went for one shot too many."
"We sent messages out to him to stay cool and not to bat in a wild manner. He was nearly caught the ball before his dismissal and then eventually he was dismissed," he added. (ANI)

An effort to address construction-related problems at the University of Georgia's still-unoccupied Animal Health Research Center took a hit Monday, when state House budget writers cut $10 million in bonds for work at the facility.
The cut, part of the House's $16 billion budget proposal for 2005, would leave the school well short of its goal for funds to restore the Carlton Street building.
But UGA officials are hopeful the $10 million will be restored during budget deliberations in the Senate, said Hank Huckaby, UGA's senior vice president for finance and administration.
University officials have already discussed the funding with the area's senators, including Brian Kemp, R-Athens.
''It's not a done deal yet,'' Huckaby said. But, he added, ''We're hopeful that the money will be reinstated on the Senate side.''
Kemp, reached Tuesday at the Capitol, said he has already spoken with members of the Senate Appropriations Com-mittee and the Senate Higher Education Subcommittee about restoring the bond funding.
''We're working to get the money back (in the budget),'' Kemp said. ''I feel really comfortable that we'll be able to get that back in in the Senate.''
The South Campus building was designed to conform with high-level bio-safety standards, allowing researchers to work with dangerous and contagious diseases with minimal risk of any disease agents escaping the facility.
But the building has stood empty as inspections revealed serious construction and design flaws, including cracks in laboratory walls and problems with a wastewater handling system designed to sterilize possible disease agents.
Before the building can be occupied, the defects must be corrected and areas not yet complete must be finished. Some areas of the building also must be retrofitted to meet new federal safety standards.
Officials say it will take more than $42 million to finish the facility. A $15 million state bond package was approved a year ago, but the university was relying on the $10 million in additional bond funding as a major part of the $28 million in additional funding needed.
UGA is planning to allocate $18 million in internal funds to the effort, if the $10 million in bond funding is approved.
The building is important to UGA for a number of reasons, including the fact that it would allow researchers to study health threats of animal-borne diseases such as SARS, West Nile virus and mad cow disease.
Also, while the facility is inoperable, the school loses a chance at research dollars.
Making the facility operational will ''give us a great opportunity to get some additional research dollars,'' Kemp said. ''But it will also give the university the opportunity to do some more good things in terms of research and also provide jobs for the district.''

The Tribunal recalls that its judgments, which according to Article VI of its Statute are "final and without appeal" and which also carry res judicata authority, are immediately operative (see, for example, Judgments 3003, under 12, and 3152, under 11). As they may not later be called into question except when an application for review is allowed, they must be executed by the parties as ruled. They may form the subject of an application for interpretation by the Tribunal only if a party considers that the decision is deficient or insufficiently clear (see, for example, Judgments 1887, under 8, and 3394, under 9).

"[T]he complainant, who has a duty to cooperate in good faith in the execution of the judgment in question, could not, as she did, refuse to provide the CDE with the information and supporting documents that she was asked to produce (see Judgment 2684, under 6).If she wished to challenge the validity of this request, she had only to lodge an application for interpretation of [the] Judgment [...] with the Tribunal, which she did not do either."
ILOAT Judgment(s): 2684
application for interpretation; execution of judgment; good faith;
"[I]f the CDE wished, despite the Registrar's informal opinion that it had obtained on this matter, to continue in the belief that it was entitled to deduct the nine months of salary in question from the damages owed to the complainant, clearly it should have filed an application for interpretation [...] with the Tribunal, which it did not."

The Tribunal's judgments carry the authority of res judicata and must be executed by the parties as ruled. They may not be called into question except when an application for review is allowed. They may form the subject of an application for interpretation by the Tribunal only if one party considers that the ruling is deficient or insufficiently clear (see Judgment 1887, under 8).

"The reference in the decision to the shielding of the successful candidate is not ambiguous; the Tribunal deliberately left it to the discretion of WHO as to how it should protect the candidate who had accepted the appointment in good faith. Moreover, the Tribunal notes that the complainant requests clarification of a part of the decision (i.e. the shielding of the successful candidate) that does not affect him directly. The Tribunal therefore sees no reason to interpret the judgment."
application for interpretation; organisation's duties;
"The ordinary meaning of 'gross salary' is the full amount of a staff member's regular remuneration including allowances, overtime pay, commissions and bonuses, and any other amount usually paid, before any deductions are made. In context, the notion of 'gross salary' was chosen to indicate the base salary prior to the staff deduction, plus all allowances and benefits. This interpretation is consistent with the fact that the award of damages had to be the equivalent of reinstatement and that the express purpose was to compensate the complainant for the time he 'should have worked with the Union'."

"As the complainant was not reinstated, her employment relationship with WMO ended on 3 November 2006 and with her separation from service, her right to participate in the UNJSPF ended (see Judgments 1338, 1797 and 1904). Further, as also stated in Judgment 2621 under 5, 'had it been its intent the Tribunal would have specifically ordered the payment of an amount equivalent to the pension fund contributions that would otherwise have been paid by the [organisation]'."

In Judgment 2575, the Tribunal annulled a decision to transfer the complainant from Vienna to Berlin. No action was taken to return him to Vienna. Instead, on 13 February 2007, the IOM informed him that he was to be transferred to Berlin with immediate effect. In Judgment 2691, the Tribunal declared that the decision of 13 February 2007 was "null and void ab initio"."Like all judicial bodies, the Tribunal has inherent jurisdiction and power to take action to ensure that its judgments are implemented. That power may be exercised in any proceedings where a question is raised with respect to the implementation of a judgment. Accordingly, an order will be made for a penalty to be paid in the event that [the complainant] is not posted to Vienna within 30 days."

[The application for interpretation] must concern only the decision itself. It may, however, additionally concern the grounds of the ruling if the decision refers to them explicitly, in which case they must be seen as part of the latter."

"Interpretation depends both on the context and on the nature of the text. [...] Judgment 1614 used the word [pay] to determine the amount of damages and ordered the fund to pay [the complainant] what she would have earned for six months' service. So 'pay' means the amount she would have actually received had she been under contract for those six months, and it must include salary and any allowances payable to her of whatever kind - post adjustment, family allowance, and so forth. It does not, however, include the compulsory health insurance and other contributions that were routinely docked from her emoluments."

The WTO has applied for interpretation of [a given judgment]. It wants to know, in particular, whether that judgment prevents application to the complainant of one of its circulars. The Tribunal holds that [the judgment in question] is "quite clear and leaves no room for interpretation [...] what the organization really wants is that the Tribunal say whether the circular is lawful. That being so, its application is clearly irreceivable and must be dismissed under the summary procedure in Article 7 of its Rules."

The complainant is challenging the UPU's interpretation and execution of Judgment 1235 in which the Tribunal quashed the Director-General's decision confirming his refusal to appoint him to a specific post and offering him compensation for moral injury.

the complainant submits that the union failed to execute in full an earlier judgment in which the tribunal gave him satisfaction. the upu says that he failed to exhaust the internal means of appeal. the tribunal holds that his application for interpretation "is receivable because the parties disagree on how to combine [two points of the ruling in the material judgment], only the tribunal itself may resolve the issue, and there was no need to follow any internal appeal procedure beforehand".

in judgment 996 the tribunal set aside the decision to dismiss the complainant and ordered his reinstatement "with full arrears of salary and allowances". in execution of that judgment the eso reinstated him as a member of its health insurance scheme as from the date of dismissal and deducted the corresponding premiums from his pay. the complainant's objections to the deductions are mistaken. the intention of judgment 996 was, as far as possible, to put the complainant in the same position as if he had not been dismissed. the tribunal is satisfied that in respect of health insurance the organisation has complied with the letter and the spirit of the judgment.

on 3 april 1990 the complainant filed an application for interpretation of judgment 972, which was delivered on 27 june 1989. neither the statute nor the rules of court set any time limit for the filing of such applications (vide judgment 538). the tribunal will look at the circumstances in which a claim is made before deciding what constitutes a reasonable time. in the instant case the complainant is not guilty of such delay as to make his application irreceivable.
ILOAT Judgment(s): 538
application for interpretation; no provision; reasonable time; receivability; time limit;
the organization took the word "rates" in point 2 of the tribunal's decision in judgment 972 to mean "rate of exchange". the only meaning the term can bear in the context is "rate of salary" and "rate of allowance" and "the clear intent is that the complainant should receive by way of damages for material injury a lump sum to be calculated by reference to the salary and allowances he was entitled to at the date of separation".
ILOAT Judgment(s): 972

an application for review will only be receivable if the operative part of the judgment is ambiguous or otherwise unclear. the present application is about the meaning of the word "rates" and therefore qualifies under the rule.
application for interpretation; condition; receivability;
The complainant objects to a reckoning giving effect to Judgment 922, which set aside the decision to dismiss him and ordered payment of damages, insofar as the amount he got did not allow him the benefit of a further yearly salary increment. As the complainant's performance had not been declared satisfactory and therefore failed to meet the condition set out in the relevant rules, the Tribunal dismisses the claim.

amount; application for interpretation; condition; increment; material damages; satisfactory service;
"the text of the operative part [of judgment 868] is clear and calls for no explanation or interpretation. should the parties fail to agree on how to give effect to the tribunal's ruling, the complainant may, once the internal means of redress have been exhausted as required by article vii of the statute, seek from the tribunal a further ruling on any decision or decisions the competent administration may have taken in execution of the judgment."

The Tribunal had ordered the organisation to pay as compensation a sum equal to "three times the total gross remuneration" paid in respect of a particular time period. "The Tribunal does not accept the organisation's argument that overtime is not part of the total gross remuneration; accordingly the deduction in respect of this item is unjustified."

"By [its] judgment, the Tribunal ordered the organization to pay to the complainant $40,000 as 'compensation for the unlawful termination of his contract' and also $6,000 as costs." The organization paid that sum to the complainant in execution of the said judgment. The complainant seeks reimbursement for any taxes he might have to pay on the sum. "No obscurity in the judgment is alleged or identified. [...] The argument does not attempt to bring the case within the very limited grounds on which the tribunal permits reconsideration or review." The complaint is dismissed.

"The complainant is entitled under Judgment No 359 to payment of compensation amounting to one year's salary. He was paid by the month, not at the end of the year. To place him in the position the Tribunal intended, the sum due should therefore be calculated monthly [...]. The complainant is therefore right to ask to have the sums converted at the rates prevailing at the dates at which each monthly payment would have fallen due, not at the date when the full payment is made."

|Looks like Maggie and Lucy have a long spring ahead of them.
The Salem neighborhood I live in plays host to several flocks of birds. We have traditional Oregon birds like chickadees, jays and crows, but we also have some starlings, which are new birds for me. These birds have amazing vocabularies, including a pretty convincing wolf-whistle, and I've seen a couple creating a pretty big nest in my neighbor's garage. I've also seen a few starlings making a nest in the covered gutters other neighbors have neglected to clean. When I saw the cats hovering by the chimney, I just assumed that we had our own starling infestation, since I've seen these guys building all sorts of nests around here.
Turns out, we could have a protected bird living in our home. Chimney swifts are not uncommon in Oregon, and these guys love to build nests inside warm, unused brick towers like mine. Unlike starlings, which are loud, these guys are pretty much silent, which would explain why I can't hear them at all at this point. Birds like this are migratory, and according to federal law, they can't be removed. Destroying the nests could bring me a big fine, and even tapping on the nest or molesting the birds could get me in trouble. (Read more about that here.) I'm not sure how this law applies to starlings, because I don't think they migrate, but I'm still not taking any chances.
I've scheduled a chimney expert to come out, and when he arrives, he'll scope out the tunnel and take a peek at the birds that might be living in there. If these are chimney swifts, we'll have to leave them in peace until the fall, when we can clean out their nests and cap the chimney off. If they're starlings, well, I don't know what happens.
In the interim, I need to convince my little hunters that they can relax and leave the little birds alone. I'm worried about what will happen if these birds have chicks and these little guys call out for food, but I am thinking loud classical music might drown out the cheeps and give the birds a little pleasure at the same time. At least I hope so.

Family Archival Solutions Launches To Solve Legal Issues After Loss
One of the biggest issues that families have after the loss of a loved one, is the sticky mess of unraveling piles of bills, bank accounts, wills, and whatnot. Los Angeles-based Family Archival Solutions is hoping that its new, online service will help address those issues, by letting users manage both their digital--and physical--documents. The startup said its service lets users store passwords for email services, photo sites, Facebook, Twitter and more; helps users track their physical assets and documents; and even lets people store videos and emails to loved ones for the future. Family Archival Solutions was founded by Mark Nicholas, who the company said is an attorney with 20 years of experience in the field. The company's partners include Iron Mountain, a major provider of document storage, who the company said is providing document storage for its customers. The company said it is privately funded, but did not detail its backers.

Re: Fall sail up Hudson River
Thanks Caleb, was hoping the doctor was in!
Will call NBC and check launch hours and Haverstraw as well as
have date with my wife and friends Saturday evening somewhere
on western shore, otherwise my preference is to anchor out when possible...have heard about anchorage across from Anthony's Nose,
thanks for reminder. Will try to make good use of it.
Been tracking the currents this week trying to familiarize myself.
Any parks/town docks where this time of year where can leave boat
for few hours and explore? Thanks again.
Re: Fall sail up Hudson River
Thanks good information, makes sense about West Point.
Will call Nyack Boat Club as we figure on spending 1st night
at Nyack or the cove off Bowline at Haverstraw, (i see the
obstruction at entrance to cove, will stay close to south shore).
Will check out JoeTheCobblers posts and anchorages at Cold Spring and Beacon if we make it that far.
Suspect i will be may be doing a fair amount of motoring,
but seems might be a good northely wind come Sunday/Monday
on trip back down river.
Thanks again, will take you up on New Hamburg invite next time up river.
Re: Fall sail up Hudson River
You rang? Thanks Ron.
Yes, the NBC has cheap guest moorings at $25/night. Restaurants within a short walk. Shoreside head and showers. Limited weekend hours launch service.
If you prefer a marina and slips then Tarrytown Marina should be still in operation. The downside to this spot is that the marina is a bit tight to navigate and the Amtrak/Metro North trains run past at frequent intervals. Haverstraw Marina is likely still in operation mode - much quieter then Tarrytown as no commuter trains running by.
Bowline Point 'pond' is a great anchorage and completely out of the river so no reversing current to deal with while at anchor. Hug the south shore of the entrance or you will find the bottom like I did. If you look this spot up on google maps you will see the shoal sticking up out of the water.
There is also a small anchorage just south of the Bear Mtn. Bridge on the west side. Beautiful natural spot across from Anthony's Nose (mtn).
North of that is off my radar.
Bring your Eldridge and try to time your runs up and down the river with the current. The current can run up to 2 knots and more where the river constricts.
The foliage should be pretty much at peak.
Re: Fall sail up Hudson River
Unfortunately, West Point is off limits since 9/11. Nyack is a nice stop and you might be able to pick up a mooring at the Nyack Boat Club ... hopefully Caleb will chime in with details ... there is also a protected cove off of Bowline Park in Haverstraw ... I'm told you need to hug the south shore on entering or you will run aground.
Cold Spring is another option with anchoring north of the village.
I'd invite you to New Hamburg (just north of Beacon) but unfortunately our docks are pulled for the season. Beacon has an anchorage .... Check out JoeTheCobbler's posts about his trip down the Hudson.
Re: Fall sail up Hudson River
Anyone sail/tie up to West Point? Any military connections are all navy, won't go far
at the academy.
Have heard, possibly from old posts, that one may request permission to tie up at
at West Point's south dock? Possibly outdated info from a less complicated time.
Or maybe just easier to pull into Highland Falls and take a walk to West Point?
Fall sail up Hudson River
Figured I give you Hudson River Sailnetters some advanced warning..err notice.
Friend and I decided last minute to take advantage of mild weather and will leave western LI Sound Thursday this week with return home probably Monday.
Pretty much open schedule, except may meet Mrs. and
friends Saturday afternoon/evening for dinner somewhere on west shore.
Usually anchor out, but am open to any local suggestions
regarding reasonable moorings/marinas this time of year on the river.
Always wanted to check out town of Hudson (whaling history) but think would be pushing it so probably make it
to around Beacon before heading back down.
Comments on timing appreciated...
Any suggestions on towns, Highland Falls? Cold Spring? Garrison? marinas,(if still open) anchorages, restaurants this time of year would be appreciated.
Have a idea but don't know what's still open up there
this late in season.
Would enjoy saying hell-o if anyone's around.
Thanks in advance,

The investigating officers described the cache as "enough treasure to fill a small archaeological museum".
The ancient Etruscan tombs which honeycomb the countryside around Rome have been plundered for centuries.
But the systematic use of sophisticated metal detectors by modern tomb robbers has unearthed new hoards of treasure.
Most of this ends up not in museums, but in the hands of traffickers like the 74-year-old man arrested by police this week while he was delivering antiquities from illegal digs to his clients.
Police said he used to run an antiques stall in Rome's famous Sunday flea market.
Rare objects
Inside his home, they found more than 2,000 decorated terracotta vases from Etruscan and Roman tombs and thousands more pieces of mosaic and fragments of marble used to decorate ancient Roman houses.
Police also found rare objects made of copper and bronze, amphora used for transporting oil and wine, and terracotta lamps.
There is no treasure trove law in Italy which means that finders of antiquities have no incentive to hand over buried treasure to the state and prefer to sell it, even though this is illegal.
What are these?

Post subject: Priest HOLMES
[quote] JESUS LOVES EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello fellow teammate and fans. I count it an honor and a blessing to be a part of the Chief Family. I would like to see Priest Holmes traded for 2 great defensive players that could really turn our program around. I know that you all think I am crazy but lets be honest he is injury pron and he is not getting younger. Yes I believe that Larry Johnson can carry the load. Lets really take a look at the whole picture. There was no Priest Holmes until Coach Vermeil came to KC. There was no Marshall Faulk until Vermeil was with the Rams which also made a Terry Holt in his offensive schemes. It is his system that makes the players great and famous. The system has always put points on the board and had alot of trouble stopping teams. Dante Hall is just like the Terry Holt and Priest is like the Faulk. Trade Priest now while he is worth something. We also need a back up quarterback that has quick feet Trent never scrambles for a couple of yards so since the linebackers know that Trent is not going to take off with the ball and they sit on him and break on the ball when he throws. Coach Vermeil knew exactly why he brought Trent Green to KC because Green knew the system and the coach did not have to spend alot of time getting the system in the quarterbacks head. Coach Vermeil wanted results right away his reputation was on the line. And Vermeil knew that KC was going to score points no matter what. Really think about it the great smart coaches always get a quarter back that has been under him before so that they can move at a faster pace then train a new quarter back the ropes slowly. Look at Parcells in Dallas why did he get Vinny Testaverde and now he went with Bledsoe these quarterbacks have potential simply because the offensive of scheme is second nature to them and that makes things a whole lot easier fot the offence.
Poor defensive coordinator we do not have the horses like on the offense but we can make some trades and get a few impact players.
Write back and Please be considerate of my ideas and I am still a KC fan if you agree or disagree because where I come from once a family always a family.

I dont think Priest is worth 2 good defensive players, think about it, after what happened last year with the Chump Bailey thing and Portis not doing that well teams are gonna want to start bulking up thier lines plus good RBs are pretty much a dime a dozen right now with Alexander, Henry and James on the trade block and with the RBs in the draft being deep Priest isnt going anywhere. As for the back up QB that can scramble, its not really needed, Green will move if needed and he can if needed, our offense has no problem except the fact that our WRs are old.

since priest is running on some aging legs and he has gotten injured recently, should the cheifs think about drafted a RB in rounds 2-4 as insurance and as an eventual replacement?

Back in Washington after a successful four-game road trip, the Capitals held a sparsely attended optional practice Monday in Arlington.
While most of the players who took part in the road trip didn't skate, injured defensemen John Erskine, Tomas Kundratek and Tom Poti all made an appearance on the ice. All three are currently on injured reserve and none joined the team on the week-long road trip.
Erskine, who has missed nine consecutive games since suffering a left hand or wrist injury on March 9 at the Islanders, was skating with teammates for the first time in more than two weeks. The rugged defenseman said he hopes to be ready to return to the lineup this weekend.
"I'm hoping to play soon. Hopefully by the weekend but I've got to see how I feel tomorrow," said Erskine, who skated with Kundratek while the team was out of town last week. "I was doing more stuff than usual out there today, so I'll see how I feel."
Kundratek sprained his right MCL on March 14 at Carolina and has missed six straight games. He skated briefly on his own on March 17, but Monday's workout marks the first time he's participated in any type of team skate.
Coach Adam Oates said he believes Kundratek is "really close" to being able to return to the lineup but the 23-year-old wasn't quite as certain.
"Every injury is different. I know I had it before, but it's an injury like other one so I have to get a good treatment on it, and we'll see how they're gonna go from there," said Kundratek, who was relieved to learn he had escaped significant harm to his knee. "I was scared because I felt the knee right away; there was something wrong with [it]. And I was scared because through my head goes like, 'It's torn, it's torn.' So I was kind of scared, but it's good."
Poti has missed four games with a back injury since he was cross-checked by Buffalo's Steve Ott on March 17. The veteran defenseman skated for roughly 15 minutes but headed into the dressing room before practice began and is "still a little ways away" Oates said.
Whenever Erskine, Kundratek and eventually Poti are healthy and able to return to the lineup the Capitals will have some roster decisions to make. As injuries piled up on the blue line the Capitals have leaned on newcomer Steve Oleksy, top prospect Dmitry Orlov and Jack Hillen, who only just returned from injury himself six games ago. But with a full 23-man active roster, they would need to free up a roster spot for each player that needs to be activated from injured reserve.
"It's a good problem to have and we're just gonna make some decisions," Oates said.
In addition to Erskine, Kundratek and Poti, the only other players on the ice were: Braden Holtby, Michal Neuvirth, Jason Chimera, Mathieu Perreault, Dmitry Orlov, Jack Hillen, Jeff Schultz, Aaron Volpatti and Wojtek Wolski.
Oates said Eric Fehr, who left Sunday's game against the Rangers in the third period and didn't return with an upper-body injury, was scheduled to see the team physician Monday afternoon. Oates didn't go into detail about Fehr's injury but said it's not another shoulder problem. Fehr has undergone two surgeries on his right shoulder and one in his left during his NHL career.
"It's not his shoulder. It's not," Oates said. "It's obviously frustrating. He's been playing very good hockey for us."

Simple test could cut cancer deaths in poor nations
LONDON (Reuters) - A simple "see and treat" approach using a test costing $2 could help doctors prevent 100,000 cervical cancer deaths a year in women in poorer countries, British scientists said on Friday.
Cervical cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women in developing nations where the main barriers to tackling the disease are poor health service infrastructure and high costs of screening and vaccines.
But British researchers said visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA) -- which costs significantly less than $9 human papillomavirus (HPV) or cervical cell lab tests more commonly used in developed nations -- could be the answer.
Around 300,000 women worldwide die from cervical cancer each year and up to 85 percent of those deaths occur in developing countries.
"VIA is an effective and affordable tool to screen women for pre-cancerous lesions of the cervix in under-resourced countries," said David McGregor of University College London, who led the research.
"Coupled with simple treatment measures, VIA could potentially reduce these cancer deaths by a third, which means nearly 100,000 women saved each year."
VIA is a simple test where a very small dose of acetate acid solution is applied to the cervix to detect pre-cancerous lesions. A positive result can be treated immediately.
This is referred to as the "see and treat" approach and experts say it can work well in small clinics without advanced equipment and laboratories.
Drug firms Merck & Co and GlaxoSmithKline make Gardasil and Cervarix vaccines which protect against a number of strains of HPV -- the most common sexually transmitted disease in the world and the main cause of cervical cancer. Continued...

Police investigating rifle-firing joyriders in Highland Park
Seattle Police are investigating "some jerk" who fired nine rifle rounds into the air in Highland Park around 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 11.
Here are the details from Jonah Spangenthal-Lee with SPD:
Some jerk with a rifle gave neighbors in Highland Park a bit of a scare Tuesday night.
Around 9:30 last night, police received several reports of gunfire near 11th Avenue S.W. and S.W. Elmgrove Street.
Neighbors told police they saw a white sedan, possibly a Pontiac Grand Prix, speeding up and down streets while someone in the passenger seat fired at least nine rifle rounds into the air.
The suspects were gone by the time officers arrived, but police collected nine shell casings at the scene. It appears no one was injured and nothing was damaged during the incident.

Last night in Seattle
Last night was really special here in Seattle. First the Huskies beat Stanford in college football and second, it was much warmer than usual for this time of year, with a brilliant sunset and a bright shiny moon to top it off. I took the boat out for a short solo sail that turned out to be mellow but beautiful. Here's a short clip I thought some of you might enjoy.

Thanks! Relaxing video, looks like a nice evening.
Re: Last night in Seattle
Could you hear the cheers from the stadium?
Not sure about that sound track Couldn't you find a nice Francis Cabrel track to go along with it?
Re: Last night in Seattle
Nice! I liked the soundtrack.
Re: Last night in Seattle
I tried to hear the cheers, did not... got real time updates on facebook and twitter from my buddies there tho... about the soundtrack. I did the whole video on my phone before going to bed on the boat last night and used whatever was canned and available on the device, so no francis this time.
I've got a few other sailing videos with better soundtracks at the link here ;-)

The Witch of Portobello (2006)
by Paulo Coelho
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Mother goddess.....feminine spirituality
I started this audio relatively unaware of the themes.
To those interested in these philosophies,the book would
probably be enjoyable.
Simply not my cup of tea.....
But, made for a reasonable read
Athena (self named) adopted daughter of a Lebanese family grows up in the united states. From an early age she becomes enchanted w/ spiritual mysticism and allows herself to become one with the spirits of possession; all the while manipulating the powers of the Spirits and everyone around her to do her ego based bidding..... Which of course leads her into stormy relationships and eventually inescapable trouble. Needless to say I didn't like her nor did I have empathy for her.
Her life story is told from different povs of those who were entangled in her web.
The book is richly written in a style evocative of the mystical & lush life of a "spiritualist".... A nice piece of literature that I did not care for, but makes me understand why so many others like his writing!
At the beginning of the book, our protagonist, Athena, is dead. She spent her life searching. She practiced an unidentified form of Goddess worship, and despite her objections, those around her expected her to know everything, to perform miracles. Everything we learn about Athena comes from interviews with various people who knew her: her ex-husband, her adoptive mother, her biological mother, her teacher, and her student, among others. As we get farther into the book, we realize that none of these people really knew Athena and that all of their perceptions are skewed in some way. In order to understand the real Athena, we have to look at what's not said—at the spaces between the words.
Coelho is one of my favorite authors. I usually love his novels, but this one just didn't speak to me the way some of his others have. I never really liked Athena, even after I realized that I wasn't getting the whole story from the various narrators. I really like the idea of getting to know a character only through the flawed perceptions of those around her, but that wasn't enough to redeem the novel for me.
I did find several quotes that resonated with me for one reason or another:
"Learn, but always learn with other people by your side. Don't be alone in the search, because if you take a wrong step, you'll have no one there to help put you right."
"There are many philosophical systems—such as Taoism and Buddhism—that make no distinction between creator and creature. People no longer try to decipher the mystery of life but choose instead to be a part of it."
"Is learning just putting things on a shelf or is it discarding whatever is no longer useful and then continuing on your way feeling lighter?"
This book was very good! A great message of the power of a woman.
This book is fantastic and mystical. The characters take you on a journey of this woman's life that is truly amazing, awakening a desire to explore your own spirituality.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0061338818, Paperback)
How do we find the courage to always be true to ourselves—even if we are unsure of who we are?
That is the central question of international bestselling author Paulo Coelho's profound new work, The Witch of Portobello. It is the story of a mysterious woman named Athena, told by the many who knew her well—or hardly at all.
