Fear Grips the World by Gerald Chester
The events of this past month revealed that sin has consequences—bad consequences. Imprudent debt at every level—personal, business, and sovereign governments—is proving to be disastrous. The genesis of this seemingly unrestrained use of debt is Keynesian economics, which has been embraced by most of the world over the past century.Though Scripture does not forbid debt, it warns against debt. Debt is bondage because the borrower becomes the servant of the lender (Proverbs 22:7). Debt is also … [Read more...]
Making Choices For Excellence by Robert Ricciardelli
"There comes a time in your spiritual journey when you start making consistent choices that embody truth, wisdom, and love. To make a choice means that there is more than one path to choose, and often times the only reward you will get for choosing the easiest path is that it was the easiest way to go. Excellence does not come from one good choice but from a habit of good choices. Choices eventually show more of who you are than your talents and abilities. Choose well in knowing that you become … [Read more...]

text: Young Roots | La Bruja Performance. The Young Roots Performance Series at Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture showcases emerging artists experimenting with the artistic roots of Afro-Latino traditions to create new branches that reach into the future. The series was made possible by a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation's highly selective New York City Cultural Innovation Fund, which supports creativity and the arts, with an emphasis on innovation. In May of 2011, The Young Roots Performance Series presented The Mermaid's Feet, a collaborative effort between East Harlem-based vocalists Catarina dos Santos and Raquel Z. Rivera who draw on roots music of the Afro-Ibero-American world, highlighting women's experiences. The project title makes reference to the female-centeredness of dos Santos' and Rivera's music, and to the ocean that touches all the countries whose musical traditions they draw from, in a innovative collaboration with Brazilian, Portuguese, and African musicians. The Young Roots Performance Series project grew out of the two rotating biennial festivals produced at Hostos Center: BomPlenazo, which focuses on the bomba and plena traditions of Puerto Rico, and Quijombo, which focuses on the congo, salve and guloya, which continue to be extensively documented by the media center BronxNet. BronxNet produces programs that globally connect one of the most diverse and culturally rich places in the world: the Bronx – and the TV station's award winning production team will produce a series of Young Roots docu-concerts.

Hi, I own a T520 4240-4CG with Windows 7 Pro 64bit.
Some days ago I noticed that my Thinkpad Power Manager (v. 3.64) missed one of the Power Schemes, so I decided to upgrade it to the latest 3.65 version.
After the upgrade, all Power Schemes were missing.
Googling around, I tried all possibile solutions. Found the duplicated schemes on the Registry, and deleted all of these, uninstalled completely the Power Manager, even manually removing all its possible entries on Registry, and restoring the default scheme with powercfg -restoredefaultschemes.
Now I'm using the default Windows Power manager, as if I install again the Thinkpad Power Manager I get no Power schemes on it, and the registry keeps filling with duplicated empty schemes every time I start the Thinkpad Power Manager. I cannot create a new Scheme on Thinkpad Power Manager, or Import Schemes I got from a similar machine. The process says ok, but no schemes are still found.
Please help, thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Just an update on what I described: I've re-installed the Thinkpad Power Manager using the local user that installed the PC, instead using my user (that is an admin) but the result is the same.
Now when I press Fn-F3, a dialog shows up telling "You are not authorized to display the panel for selecting a power scheme". The Power Manager tells it crashed (!), but then starts, and no power schemes are present.
Every time I start the Power Manager, a fake scheme is duplicated into the registry.
Anyone wants to help?
just an idea... try to run the PM explicitly with administrator privileges when creating a power profile. There was an issue some time ago that prevented the new profiles to show up if you created them without those.
Did not resolve.
As I said, I also tried to re-install the thinkpad power manager using the same user that installed the whole pc. But no results.
Before that issue, I was able to run the laptop up to 2:h30, now using only the standard windows power manager, it runs no more that 1h:30.
Please help. I DO NOT want to reinstall the system running for just 6 months, just for a piece of software that is not working, and nobody at Lenovo is able to let it work! I had also a R60e, and it had the same issue. The only solution was to reinstall the system.
So... why is still this software present on pre-installed Lenovo software, if it's still malfunctioning???
Anyone at Lenovo spending a bit of time on that issue? Come on!
Another update...
I uninstalled again PM and its driver, restored default schemes, clean the registry, logged in using the user that originally installed the system, updated with System update (that installed PM and driver), obviously nothing changes... then put manually into the registry the settings found here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/76375-power-manager-settings-lost-where-can-i-download-th... , under every defined user. But... nothing changes.
Don't want to spend all my nights trying to resolve that issue by myself... and have only 1h30 of battery during the day!!!
Desperately... and angry.
I have no idea about this issue - and haven't heard of it before.
Can you set power schemes using the Power Options control panel of Windows?
Thanks for replying.
Haven't tried yet... but now I tried, and I did create a new custom scheme successfully using standard Control Panel Power manager.
Obviously, it's not reflected under Thinkpad PM, that after being launched, has created 5 new fake schemes under Control Panel Power Manager.
So are the standard Windows power schemes present in Windows control panel? Or only the custom one that you created?
All standard power schemes are always present under control panel power manager (if I type into a CMD powercfg /restoredefaultschemes, they are restored to the default and fake ones created by Thinkpad PM are wiped out), along with the one I have created (that's obvioouly wiped out when I restore the default ones).
The answer is definitely YES. Standard Windows schemes are present under standard power manager.

New businesses that need money often rely on investors whose focus is loaning money to start-up businesses. Venture capital attorneys help negotiate and document the terms of the investment, including what the investors get for their money, and how the business will be run after the investment. The investors usually want shares in the business and the right to have some input into the company's business strategies. Structuring this kind of deal can be very complicated; venture capital lawyers know what terms are standard and what terms are negotiable. If you are starting a business and need financing, a venture capital lawyer will provide advice about how to attract and negotiate with venture capital investors.

I started to have my 2 month old baby used a pacifier. My friends told me that it isn't good because he is still too young. Is it safe for him?
30th August 2012 05:31 AM #2
I know from your previous posts that you are breastfeeding your baby. This is one reason as to why using a pacifier is not best; a baby may suck on the pacifier when they in fact should be sucking on the breast, thus, it can lead to your baby not getting enough milk. I know you have been concerned that you may not be producing enough breast milk so I would particularly advise you not to use a pacifier with your baby as if your baby is not on the breast when they need milk then your body will begin to stop producing enough milk.
Some healthcare professionals advise waiting until your breastfed baby is 12 weeks old before introducing any pacifiers or bottles as breastfeeding is still being established during this time. It is best if you are able to not use the pacifier and to breastfeed your baby on demand.
If you have been using a pacifier to settle your baby, then you could try babywearing or swaddling.
In light of your question, I don't think using a pacifier is unsafe (in fact, the strongest argument for pacifier use is that some studies show it reduces the risk of cot death) but it can have a negative affect on breastfeeding.
I hope this answers your question.
Best wishes,

Thank you so much for those informations that you are giving me. Yes, I use pacifier every time I wanted to make him settle. I don't want him to be used to cuddling all the time in settling him.
31st August 2012 12:17 AM #4
I think it may be best if you reduced the pacifier use as this could explain why you feel your baby is not getting enough breast milk. For example, suppose your baby cries/is unsettled because he wants some more milk. But, instead of offering him the breast again, you settle him with the pacifier. Your body then gets the message that your baby does not need milk on this occasion and as breast milk works on a 'supply and demand' basis it does not produce milk for this feed in the future. Your baby may soon then become unsettled as the true reason they were crying (feeling hungry) has not been solved and you could end up with an unhappy baby but not enough breast milk production to satisfy them.
I am not trying to be negative but I just want to explain the implications of using a pacifier when your baby is so young and you are breastfeeding.
You could try other techniques for settling your baby when they have a nap instead of a pacifier. For example: shushing, rocking, letting your baby watch a mobile spinning, having a comforter toy, baby wearing etc
I have to say that, until very recently, I always comforted my baby on the breast.
Best wishes,

LJ has given you some excellent information.
I also want to share that you cannot spoil a baby by cuddling him too much. Your baby was used to being with you in the womb 24 hours a day and being rocked by you 16 hours a day (when you were not sleeping). So you should expect that baby will want to be close to you and rocked when he is out of the womb. This, along with sucking, swaddling, and hearing certain sounds that he was used to hearing in the womb, is what will sooth your baby outside of the womb.
I would encourage you to pick your baby up and cuddle him and/or breastfeed him anytime he starts to fuss. This is his way of saying he needs (not wants) to be close, and needs to be fed.
Have you been putting your baby to the breast more often and if so, has your milk supply increased? Is baby still as fussy, and if so, do you need more ideas on how to settle him?
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Warm Regards,

• Dalton Thrower, a defenceman with Saskatoon of the W who, as the Dickensian name suggests, is a fighter and took on massive Tom Wilson, giving away three inches and 25 pounds but hammering out a draw in the Prospects Game. Michel Therrien likes tough guys who can play. THN has him at 29th, McKeen's 38th.
Thrower told NHL.com he was honoured to be drafted by the Canadiens and said he models his game on Kevin Bieksa's.
Thrower throwin' a few:
• The Hockey News rated Tim Bozon 43rd and the Canadiens got him with the 64th overall pick.
"He owns a terrific shot and a good skill set," a scout told THN. Another scout compared Bozon to David Perron.
And some video:
• The Canadiens' fourth-round pick, 94th overall, was Brady Vail, a centre, born in North Carolina, who plays junior for a great organization in Windsor: "A tireless worker, Vail wins a ton of board battles and is never afraid to get himself into traffic. He has a hard, accurate shot and a quick release. Vail is also a good passer, and has decent vision to find the open man in the offensive zone."
And some video
• At the top of the fifth round, the Canadiens took Charles Hudon, a small LW from the Q, with the 122nd pick. THN rated him 80th.
Scouting report on Hudon: "The one thing that stands out to me when watching Charles Hudon is his ability to spot openings on the ice and his capacity to take full advantage of them by his superior skating and puck handling ability. He is a rather undersized player but he keeps his body low and is hard on the puck making it difficult for opponents to get the puck off him.
Hudon video:
• In the sixth round, the Canadiens took Swedish LW Erik Nystrom with the 154th pick.
Not to be confused with Bob's son, who plays for Dallas, or this guy
And that's the ballgame.
The Canadiens do not have a seventh-round pick.
• • •
The Canadiens haven't had a second-round draft choice since 2008, when Danny Kristo (56th overall) was their top choice of the draft, the first-round pick having been dealt to Calgary in the Alex Tanguay deal.
A list of the team's best second-round picks would include P.K. Subban, 43rd overall in 2007; Maxim Lapierre, 61st in 2003; Mike Ribeiro, 45th in 1998; José Theodore, 44th in 1994; Patrice Brisebois, 30th in 1989; John LeClair and Éric Desjardins, 33rd and 38th in 1987; Benoit Brunet, 27th in 1986, Stéphane Richer, 29th in 1984; Claude Lemieux, 26th in 1983; Chris Chelios, 40th in 1981; Mats Naslund, 37th in 1979; Rod Langway, 26th in 1977, and the Canadiens' best second-rounder ever: Larry Robinson, 20th in 1971.
It didn't take long for the second-guessing to start.
On L'Antichambre after the draft Friday night, Gaston Therrien says the Canadiens could have bettered Carolina's offer for Jordan Staal by trading the number 3 pick, Lars Eller and Yannick Weber to the Penguins and thereby securing "a number one centre for the next 10 years".
I'll take my chances with Alex Galchenyuk, thanks.

Welcome back: Newest Gamecocks move in
By Megan Sexton, email@example.com, 803-777-1421
The newest Carolina students are arriving on campus this weekend – including 4,900 freshmen – making their way into residence halls.
Lugging pillows and refrigerators, stuffed animals and futons, more than 6,000 students will arrive by the end of the weekend. Welcome Carolina activities are in full swing, with classes set to start Thursday.
Here's a glance at what was happening around campus during move-in week.
Gamecocks times three
The Phelps triplets -- Caroline, Kristen and Tim -- from West Columbia, S.C., moved in to their USC residence halls Friday morning. Caroline and Kristen are sharing a room in Preston; Tim is rooming with a friend from high school in South Tower.
"I decided I'd rather room with my sister because we've been close our whole lives and we really get along," said Caroline Phelps, who plans to major in nursing.
Kristen Phelps, an accounting and finance major, said USC was her top choice because "it has one of the best business schools in the nation and there's a wonderful community feel about it."
Tim Phelps, who plans to study engineering, said Carolina was originally his second choice for college – until he toured USC.
"Everyone was so nice and helpful, on the campus tour and the engineering tour," he said. "I could see myself living here. It was the best feel of any of the colleges we looked at."
The three, along with their parents, brought a van and car stuffed with belongings. "I wanted to bring my entire closet. I'm the diva of the three," Caroline said, adding that her one must-have item was the tattered blanket she has had since she was a baby. "I'll admit it. I brought a baby blanket with me to college."
The fraternal triplets are recipients of the Gamecock Guarantee, a scholarship program for academically talented first-generation college students from low-income South Carolina families. "We're absolutely thrilled they are going to USC," said their mother, Karen Phelps. "I had never been to USC until we toured it and we all fell in love with it. And it wasn't even a sunny day. It just felt like home. They want to be Gamecocks."
Coast-to-coast move
Haile Brant came across the country to attend USC. Brant, her mother, stepfather, father and brother flew from San Diego to move her into Patterson for sorority recruitment.
"I chose it because the business school is so good and because I also want to be a hospitality minor. It's a beautiful campus, and it has that Southern charm," said Brant, who shipped her belongings -- including a TV, clothing and several bathing suits – to campus before she arrived.
Her mother, Carmela Burke, said she encouraged her daughter to head to South Carolina. "I told her to leave California. To get out and see other people, go to a different state and experience a different place," Burke said.
A presidential welcome
Students and families moving into the Honors Residence on Saturday morning were greeted by two well-known Gamecocks: President Harris Pastides and Cocky.
"The university's reputation continues to be enhanced. I think it's partly the reputation of the academic programs, athletic success, but more than anything it's the spirit of our university," Pastides said.
"It's moving day today and it's drizzly out and I expected to see a little bit of a gray atmosphere and attitude, but not at all. People are very, very excited to be here," he said. "For me personally it brings back a lot of memories. I can remember being dropped off freshman year in the dorm, of course the dorm was way lot different than this beautiful residence hall. My mom cried. My father gave me a big hug and I turned to my roommate and said, 'Let's go.' I think a lot of that is happening today, too."
Don't leave home without it
Wonder what new students couldn't leave home without? Here's a sampling:
"A mattress pad and my stuffed froggy. I've had it since I was a baby," said Bessie Rose Woltz, a freshman from Winston-Salem, N.C., who was moving into Patterson.
"My laptop. That's a necessity," said Kristen Phelps of West Columbia, moving into Preston.
"My TV. I'm a little too addicted to TV and Netflicks. And my sports equipment," said Jacob Nave of Columbus, Ohio, moving into the Honors Residence.
"Photographs. And I had to bring my pink teddy bear that I've had my whole life. His name is Pinkie," said Hayley Taylor of Hartsville, S.C., who was moving into Bates House.
"A laptop and a phone to keep in touch with everyone," said Karina Zander of Boston, moving into Bates House. (Although the one thing she hated to leave at home? Her Old English sheepdog.)
A Gamecock family
The USC family table at the Russell House saw a steady stream of parents and new students Saturday wanting to learn more about campus and the city of Columbia.
Rick and Mellia Davis from Hickory, N.C., stopped by to pick up garnet and black "USC Dad" and "USC Mom" bumper stickers—ones they intend to display proudly.
The Davis' son, Perry, is entering USC as a member of the Honors College and plans to study biomedical engineering. Perry was lured to USC by the strong reputation of the Honors College and the beauty campus, which he says looks good even in the rain.
Gamecock football doesn't hurt either.
In fact, the entire Davis family will be back in Columbia Aug. 29 for the season opener against the University of North Carolina, where Perry's older brother earned his degree.
"There's no mixed loyalties here," Rick says. "We're a Gamecock family now, so this is going to be fun."
A helping hand
Each year, hundreds of faculty and staff help students and their families move into residence halls.
Carol Stork, a chemist with the College of Engineering and Computing, says she's been lending a hand for the last 13 or 14 years.
"It's a way of connecting with students and parents. The parents are always grateful for the help," says Stork, who moved students into South Tower, the same residence hall she moved in during her junior year in the mid 1960s.
"South Tower is a bit different. It was new the year I moved in. Now boys live here too," says Stork, who graduated in 1968.
She says each year the computers get smaller and the TVs get larger during move-in.
"I used to see ironing boards, which made me laugh because I knew they wouldn't be using them," Stork says. "Students these days seem more aware about what they really need. Parents also seem less nervous about it all. I think kids are having more experiences in high school that are preparing them for college and for being away from home."
Early arrivals
Incoming freshman Aileena Roberts didn't let a gully washer dampen her spirits or move-in plans when she arrived on campus at 7 a.m. Friday at the Thornwell residence hall.
Roberts, a vocal performance major, didn't have to travel too far from home. The Dreher High School graduate grew up 20 minutes from USC's campus, and said it was the comfort of knowing that home wasn't that far away that brought her here.
"My sister went here, my mom works here, it's kind of a family thing," she said. "Still it was really sad, bittersweet to move away."
Her mother Ruth Roberts works as a student coordinator in the College of Education. She said they had a plan in place, and she knew they needed to arrive early.
"We didn't expect all the rain, but everything went smoothly because we got here first and had everything ready to unload and it all worked out," Ruth Roberts said.
Now, that she's settled in her residence hall, Aileena Roberts is looking forward to meeting her roommates and getting on with an exciting year.
"I'm most excited about meeting a lot of different people you couldn't really meet in high school," she said. "I feel like it's more of an expanded experience with more people from different places."
Keeping the traffic moving
Despite the rain, USC resident mentors helped welcome the newest Gamecocks and their parents to campus during move-in weekend by directing traffic and parking.
Haley Carpenter, a junior global supply chain and operations management major in the South Carolina Honors College, braved the rain with a large umbrella to direct parents Friday with parking around the Honors College Residence Hall. She directed parents where and how to park with a smile on her face.
"I love seeing everyone so excited," she said. "It's a lot of fun just being out here anyway, but the rain means I have to be doubly excited. I thought it would be awful, but I've enjoyed it. I'm already wet and the parents are nice."

If you have unlimited login attempts to the voicemail system then why bother "proving" anything? If they've set it up that way it's a FACT that it can be done. If the company can't see that then please tell us who they are so we can avoid them.
Further why would it matter what the originating caller ID is? Shouldn't you be able to login to voicemail from any other phone? If you limit the phones from which an end user can access their voicemail that kind of limits voicemail's usefulness.

Post subject: Park Hours for night caching

Hmmmm, how would you define the park rules for Mahtomedi?
"10.14 B. It shall be unlawful for any person to loiter, loaf or idle in, remain in, or leave any vehicle in any park or upon any parkway, or pathway between one-half hour after sunset and one-half hour before sunrise of the following day. Nothing in this section shall apply to persons traveling, without delay, upon established pathways or parks or upon parkways.
C. The provisions of Subsection B of this section do not apply to anyone in certain areas such as lighted tennis courts, softball fields, ice skating areas, organized sports, and/or activities as recognized by or under by Community Services"
As long as we keep moving we can stay in the park? But we can't leave our cars? Are we an organized sport?
If I were a park officer, I would say we would fall under the get out by 30 minutes past sunset. I dunno.
*updated new hours for Mahtomedi!
1. Parks will be open for public use from 5 a.m. until 10 p.m., unless posted otherwise.
2. It shall be unlawful for any person other than authorized City personnel to loiter, idle, remain in, or leave any motor vehicle in any park or upon any parkway or pathway when the park is not open to the public.
3. The provisions of subsection two of this Section do not apply to anyone in designated areas such as lighted tennis courts, softball fields, or ice skating
HEEEHEEEE! Here are Stillwater's rules:
Sec. 48-5. Prohibited hours for certain acts.
Subd. 1.Prohibited hours for certain acts generally. It is unlawful for any person to be present in or upon the public parks within the city between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. when that person does loiter or make undue noise by shouting or yelling, or when that person otherwise disturbs the peace and quite of the city.
Does that mean Stillwater parks are 24/7 if we are quiet? (or "quite" as the case might be)

Post subject: Ramsey County Parks Hours
Although it is already included in Tesser's list at the top of this thread, I'll mention it again. John Moriarty from Ramsey County Parks has asked me to get the word out that their parks officially close one half hour after sunset. If you are in one of their parks after that, you are technically breaking the law.

Is that like technically being pregnant???
I am amazed by how many people harp on the need to speak and write English in this country while exhibiting a fundamental lack of skills in the areas of spelling and sentence composition. Would this be irony, hypocrisy, or both?

Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board
It's inaccurate to use the parking odinance to define hours of Minneapolis Parks as most parks are 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. And even if a park were open later all undeveloped areas are open by ordinance from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM.
Ramsey County, I think that John Moriarty is in charge of Planning and Natural Resource and someone named Mack is the Director.

Now that it's dark early again, I started looking more of these up. It's good to give this one a bump up too. Added: Blaine, Ham Lake, Circle Pines.
Here is the Circle Pines ordinance:
703.02 Hours. No person, except authorized City
employees, police, and fire personnel shall enter or remain
in any public park or grounds between sunset and sunrise.
Participants in approved, organized recreational activities
may be in City parks until 10:00 p.m. Pedestrians may
traverse park property during restricted hours, as long as
they stay on maintained pathways and not loiter.
I guess that if you place a cache adjacent to a trail, and make it not too hard to find as to be considered loitering, it could be a 24/7 cache

This cache may be located in a public park with posted hours. It is your responsibility to be aware of and adhere to any hours of operation. Logs indicating caching outside of those hours will be deleted.
Enough said.

A slap on the hand is good. Changing the log is good. But a log delete?

Agree with what has been said, Cruz can't keep the title for 2 years without fighting and Barao/Mcdonald for the title. Imo Barao is the champion elect, can see him beating Cruz when they do fight. Would love to see Brad get a shot at the title but don't see the result being any different if he is fighting Barao

Cats are jealous creatures?
Good afternoon ladies!
I have a question concerning my pets and my soon to be born baby.
I was told that a dog can be supportive though it all, but I was told the opposite of cats...
I have a kitten and worry that I may have to train him to be an outdoor cat for a few years until the baby can be around him.
Do I have anything to worry about with the cat harming the newborn? Or am I being told fables?
4th February 2012 11:21 AM #2
I think both cats and dogs need to be prepared for a newborn baby coming into the house and both couldn't be trusted with a baby without an adult in the room.
However, cats are known to have more problems adapting to a newborn baby than dogs. Some cats can be disturbed by the sound of crying: you could get your kitten used to this by playing him the sounds of a baby crying and being calm around the kitten when this is happening. It's also important not to (obviously!) let a cat sleep in a cot or pram and you can buy nets to stop the cat going in them. You could also get your kitten used to not going into rooms where the baby will be spending lots of time.
It's good that your cat is so young so you can prepare him for the arrival of your baby and he should then adapt to the changes well.

Hi Ceara,
My personal experience with our cats is that they just didn't care about the babies. I had two cats when our first child was born. One was an older kitten, and one was an adult cat. They both just ignored the baby. Both of our cats were indoor cats.
I made sure to close the door when I would put baby down for a nap so that the cats wouldn't go into the room where she was sleeping.
I like the idea of playing sounds of a baby crying to see how your cat responds, but mostly just watch the cat, be sure you give him/her as much attention as you do now so he doesn't feel like he has to compete with the baby for attention, and you'll be able to tell whether your cat will need to become more of an outdoor cat, or whether he will be just fine with the new baby.
Warm regards,

The Acura RDX is a powerful compact crossover that offers a stylish exterior with a luxury interior. The RDX is equipped with a 3.5-liter, i-VTEC V-6 Engine, that produces 279 Horsepower. Despite its power it remains fuel efficient with the front-wheel drive model getting an EPA rating of 20 MPG City, 28 MPG Highway, and a combined 23 MPG. The all-wheel drive version is impressive as well with 19 MPG City, 27 MPG Highway, and 22 MPG combined. The Engine in the RDX comes with Variable Cylinder Management. It enables it so the engine can run on six, four, or three cylinders depending on power demand, allowing for the most fuel efficiency possible. The RDX comes standard with a Sequential SportShift Automatic Transmission with steering-mounted paddle shifters. You have the option to choose either Drive mode for smooth shifting and optimal fuel efficiency, or you can go into Sport mode for performance driving and quick, precise shifts at your fingertips. If you choose to upgrade into the All-Wheel Drive model, it comes with Intelligent Control. This uses the front wheels only to propel the vehicle during regular cruising, and supplies more power to the rear depending on driving conditions. The driver and front passenger get dual-level heaters in seats and dual-zone climate controls. For safety, the RDX comes with a rearview camera. Also included is the Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, as well as the text message function that can read your texts to you and supply you with your choice of pre-loaded responses. The Technology Package includes a Navigation System and a Destination Database to direct you to nearby ATMs, restaurants, and more.

Jaya the Cat
Jaya The Cat is a reggae/ska/punk rock band originating from Boston, Massachusetts (US), currently based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Jaya The Cat was founded by Geoff Lagadec (vocals/guitar), Dave Smith (guitar/vocals), and Ben Murphy (bass). Their first album Basement Style was recorded in Boston and was received well among critics and fans but failed to gain much attention outside of the Boston area. After drummer David "The Germ" Germain (formerly with Shadows Fall) joined the band they began touring the US and Europe. In 2002 the band arrived in Holland to play the Lowlands Festival. In 2003 they recorded a live album, ErnestoÔ[][]s Burning. After the release of the second album First Beer of a New Day Dave Smith (guitar) and Ben Murphy (bass) quit the band. The remaining members decided to move to Amsterdam where they have collaborated with a number of Dutch musicians, some of which have permanently joined the band. Their third album was released November 16th 2007 by I Scream records: More Late Night Transmissions With.... More Late Night...''s sound is considerably more laidback, drawing more on reggae influences than the previous two albums.
Sorry, there are no shows on sale for Jaya the Cat right now.

HANOVER, N.H. - The Penn field hockey team allowed a goal in the first minute of the second half, and that proved to be enough for Dartmouth as the host Big Green defeated the Quakers, 2-0, Saturday at Chase Field.
Dartmouth (5-4, 2-1 Ivy) got the lead that it would not relinquish just 51 seconds into the second half when Ali Savage scored a shot from the high circle over Carly Sokach's right shoulder. Maya Herm added an insurance tally with just under 11 minutes to play with a blast from the top of the circle.
Dartmouth outshot Penn, 22-11. Sarah Hasson had four shots to lead the Quakers (5-4, 1-2 Ivy), while Emily Corcoran, Elizabeth Hitti and Sunny Stirewalt had two apiece. Sokach ended the game with eight saves.
Penn returns to action on Wednesday, traveling to Lafayette Wednesday night for a 7 p.m. start.

By Bill Sheets Herald Writer
LYNNWOOD — A former city councilwoman, a current planning commissioner and two newcomers are running for the open Position 3 seat on the Lynnwood City Council.
The spot is being left open by Kerri Lonergan-Dreke, who served one term and did not file for re-election.
The candidates are: Maria Ambalada; Ruth Ross; Douglas Lovitt; and Dave Mayers.
Ross served eight years on the council from 2002-2010. She lost her seat to Lonergan-Dreke.
"I'm always looking for an opportunity to provide public service," said Ross. "I think it's kind of important to bring some experience."
She wants to make sure the city's roads and other facilities are maintained.
"It's usually one of the first things that gets pulled out if there's not enough to go around," she said.
Toward that end, Ross would like to see the city experiment with ways to raise revenue other than property taxes and the economy-dependent sales tax.
For instance, some cities have begun development projects with city hall as the anchor tenant to get things started, she said.
This would be a possibility with Lynnwood's slow-starting City Center plan, in which a new downtown area would be created.
"It's easy to cut budgets, we do it every year, but we need to look at the big picture," she said.
Ambalada has served on the city's planning commission for six years. She'd like to strengthen the city by bringing people together and preserving affordable housing.
"We are disconnected in Lynnwood. I want to run because I know the issues, I'm a regular attendee of the council, I'm on the planning commission, I know where the city's going."
The city can cultivate home ownership through standards for new construction, hiring more city residents in city government and encouraging businesses to hire city residents as well, she said.
"The city has to create some jobs by attracting investors," Ambalada said.
She'd also like to create a free mini-bus program to help low-income residents and senior citizens get around. The city could seek donations of used vans and recruit retired volunteers to drive them, Ambalada said.
She'd also review the red-light camera program, possibly to limit use of the cameras to school zones, she said.
Lovitt, a real-estate executive, said his experience can help the city develop.
With the economy improving and light rail scheduled to come to town in 10 years, "I see things coming down the pike here," Lovitt said. This could help the City Center development get off the ground, he added.
"I want to be involved in that," Lovitt said.
His other priority is to improve city government by bringing more civility to the process.
"Everyone's kind of got their own small political agendas. I'm coming into this fresh without a preconceived notion of what I want to happen. I want to help people the best I can."
Mayers, like Ross, wants to bring more cash to Lynnwood by encouraging large companies to set up shop in the city, and even recruiting theme parks or other destinations.
"I don't think Lynnwood has any attractions, I don't think it has any identification," he said. "It's got the Alderwood mall and that's about it."
Possibilities include an amphitheater for live music and movies, and even a large hotel with a casino, Mayers said.
"I think that's in the foreseeable future. I think it's going to happen."
Bill Sheets: 425-339-3439; email@example.com.
What's next
Today: Lynnwood City Council Position No. 3
Monday: Mill Creek City Council Position No. 1
Tuesday: Mill Creek City Council Position No. 2
Previous stories: Snohomish County Council; Index, Snohomish fire district levies; Arlington City Council Position No. 7; Mukilteo mayor; Monroe Proposition No. 1; Arlington Transportation Benefit District Proposition No. 1; Lakewood School Board District 1 director; Camano Island Library Propositions No. 1 and 2; Lynnwood City Council Position No. 1; Lynnwood mayor; Lynnwood City Council Position No. 2.

By unanimous vote of approval by the Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI), the Roseville Fire Department has achieved Reaccredited Agency Status, allowing the Department to retain an important status which is recognized as a worldwide measure of excellence in the Fire Service.
The vote came after a public hearing last week in Chicago where Fire Chief Ken Wagner, Division Chief Kevin Dickson and City Councilmember Jim Gray spoke in support of and further substantiated the findings of the extensive report prepared by an independent CFAI Peer Assessment Team. Roseville Fire Department managers also answered numerous questions from the Commission regarding emergency response data reporting methodology and compliance with the Standards of Response Coverage deployment analysis, the purpose of which is to determine whether an agency is prepared to provide a level of service commensurate with its responsibilities, community risks and service level objectives.
Fire Chief Ken Wagner said, "This achievement demonstrates the continued commitment of the Roseville Fire Department to provide a comprehensive and appropriate level of service to our community." Chief Wagner further stated, "Being an Accredited Agency has provided great benefit locally. We have been able to use the Commission of Fire Accreditation International's process as a proactive mechanism to plan for our future and locate areas where we can improve upon the quality of services we provide."
As one of 148 internationally accredited fire agencies recognized for excellence, the City of Roseville receives enhanced benefits because accreditation:
· Demonstrates effectiveness and excellence to the community.
· Provides a detailed internal and external evaluation of services provided to the community.
· Assures the community that the fire department has a defined mission and objectives aimed at promoting a vision of a safe and healthy community.
· Promotes future excellence within the community through a continuous self-assessment process.
· Identifies strengths and weaknesses in the organization and defines plans for improvement.
· Creates methods or systems for addressing deficiencies while building organizational success.
· Provides a forum for communicating organizational priorities.
· Encourages professional growth for both the department and its personnel.
· Fosters national recognition by colleagues and the public.
· Creates a mechanism for developing strategic and program action plans.
· Enhances a community economic development strategic plan by providing internationally recognized professional fire and emergency response services.
· Creates a potential future opportunity to be re-assessed by the Insurance Services Organization (ISO) which could possibly reduce property insurance rates for community property owners.
Originally accredited in 2005 the Roseville Fire Department is the only internationally accredited fire agency in Placer County, as well as the Sacramento Valley Region. In fact, it is one of only six municipal fire agencies in California, which include the Culver City Fire Department, Santa Clara County Fire Department, City of Clovis Fire Department, Novato Fire Protection District, San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District and the Vista Fire Department. It is worth noting that Santa Clara County also received Reaccredited Agency status in Chicago last week and San Ramon Valley and Vista achieved Accreditation for the first time. Additionally, the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation Fire Department in Yolo County's Capay Valley became the first American Indian fire department to earn Accredited Agency status.
To prepare for this process fire department staff had to perform a comprehensive update to the agency Accreditation Manual, Standards of Response Coverage document and Strategic Plan. A diverse Peer Assessment Team was assembled to include fire service experts from other parts of the United States and Canada, including Washington State, Florida, Indiana and Ontario. During the on-site evaluation earlier this summer, the Peer Assessment Team reviewed all of the Roseville Fire Department policies, procedures, programs and processes as they relate to the more than 200 core and important competencies. Copies of the Accreditation Manual, Standards of Response Coverage and the Reaccreditation Report can be found on the Roseville Fire Department website at http://www.roseville.ca.us/fire/accreditation.asp.
"It gives me great pride and confidence in our fire department knowing that they embrace a continuous comprehensive assessment process. To know that we are evaluated against national standards and internationally recognized best management practices provides our community comfort in knowing our fire department is among the most professional", said Councilmember Jim Gray. "The accreditation process helps us to better understand community risks and fire safety needs and to more accurately evaluate our performance."
About the Commission
The Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) is governed by eleven members representing a cross-section of the fire service industry, including fire departments, city and county management, code councils, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the International Association of Firefighters. The full Commission meets biannually to review all agencies applying for accredited status.
The CFAI is dedicated to assisting the fire and emergency service agencies throughout the world in achieving excellence through self-assessment and accreditation in order to provide continuous quality improvement and the enhancement of service delivery to their communities. The CFAI process is voluntary, and provides an agency with an improvement model to assess their service delivery and performance internally and then works with a team of peers from other agencies to evaluate their completed self assessment.

The first Khaljī sultan, Jalāl al-ud-Dīn Fīrūz Khaljī, was established by a noble faction on the collapse of the last feeble Slave king, Kay-Qubādh. Jalāl al-ud-Dīn was already elderly, and for a time he was so unpopular, because his tribe was thought to be AfghānAfghan, that he dared not enter the capital. His nephew Jūnā Khān Khan led an expedition into the Hindu Deccan, captured Ellichpur and its treasure, and returned to murder his uncle in 1296.
With the title of ʿAlāʾ al-ud-Dīn Khaljī, Jūnā Khān Khan reigned for 20 years. He captured Ranthambhor (1301) and Chitor (1303), conquered Māndu Mandu (1305), and annexed the wealthy Hindu kingdom of Devagiri. He also repelled Mongol raids. ʿAlāʾ al-ud-Dīn's lieutenant, Malik Kāfūr, was sent on a plundering expedition to the south in 1308, which led to the capture of Warangal, the overthrow of the Hoyṣala Hoysala dynasty south of the Krishna River, and the occupation of Madura in the extreme south. Malik Kāfūr returned to Delhi in 1311, laden with spoils. Thereafter , the fortunes of ʿAlāʾ al-ud-Dīn and the dynasty declined.
The sultan died in early 1316. Malik Kāfūr's attempted usurpation ended with his own death. The last Khaljī, Quṭb al-ud-Dīn Mubārak ShāhShah, was murdered in 1320 by his chief minister, Khusraw KhānKhan, who was in turn replaced by Ghiyāṣ al-ud-Dīn Tughluq, the first ruler of the Tughluq dynasty.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas announced yesterday that Gilad Shalit, the young Israeli soldier held captive by Hamas since 2006, will be released.
In exchange for Shalit's freedom, more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, hundreds of them convicted terrorists, will also be released.
The lopsided nature of this one-for one thousand exchange has not gone unnoticed, especially since similar past exchanges have not worked out well for Israel. It's generally agreed that Hamas is set to be the winner in this instance, and though many believe Israel ought to be commended for a renewed commitment to life and hope, it seems probable that the freeing of these hundreds of convicted terrorists will bring an end to many, many more lives in both Israel and Palestine.
Has Israel made the right decision? It's hard to know.
Perhaps it's trite, but I can't help thinking here of two exchanges between Spock and Captain Kirk in the Star Trek movies.
As Spock sacrifices himself at the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, he tells Kirk,
Spock:"Don't grieve, Admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh…"
Kirk: "The needs of the few."
Spock: "Or the one."
Later, when Kirk and Spock are reunited after Spock's rescue, Spock is puzzled—why was he spared when so much was at stake?
Spock: My father says that you have been my friend. You came back for me.
Kirk: You would have done the same for me.
Spock: Why would you do this?
Kirk: Because the needs of the one… outweigh the needs of the many.
In the Star Trek universe, Kirk found a way to save both the many and the one. Spock sacrificed himself for his shipmates, and they in turn sacrificed themselves for him. It makes for a good story—but real world struggles rarely end so neatly. In buying Gilad Shalit's freedom at an almost impossibly high price, Israel may end up sacrificing its own people for the sake of a compelling national narrative.
It's bold. It's risky. It's what the "good guys" in the movies would do. But is it wise? Perhaps not.
This tension between the needs of the one and needs of the many is, by the way, an old problem for Israel. In John 11, when the chief priests and Pharisees are discussing what to do about the man whose actions threaten their own power, Caiaphas convinces them to simply do away with Jesus:
"…You know nothing at all, nor do you take into account that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish." (John 11:49-50)
In the past, when Israel acted out of fear and favored the "many" over the "one", Jesus died. (Of course, Gilad Shalit is not Jesus, and both stories are complicated. This is not a perfect analogy!) This time, though it's easy to criticize the country's desperation, they are at least moving forward boldly, and without obvious fear.
Maybe that's good. Maybe it's bad. I don't know.
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem"—and pray for Gilad Shalit. That much, at least, is clear.

Daily Dish: Cindy Crawford Blackmailed Over Photo of Her Daughter
The former family nanny's ex demanded money to prevent the sale of a photo of the child tied up in a chair.
-Kathryn H. Cusimano
David Letterman isn't the only celeb with an extortionist. Former supermodel Cindy Crawford and her husband Rande Gerber were the victims of an extortion plot related to their daughter, Kaia.
The alleged extortionist, Edis Kayalar, approached Cindy and Rande claiming he had a photograph of Kaia "in revealing clothing, bound to a chair and gagged." Kaia was 7 years old when the photo was taken.
Read Cindy Crawford's Cancer Fears
The picture came from a former family nanny, who Kayalar dated. The nanny claims she took the picture while the kids were playing "cops and robbers," then showed it to Kayalar and bragged about its value. Kayalar returned the photo to Rande and Cindy, who gave him a $1,000 reward.
He then threatened to sell a copy of the image to a tabloid, but Rande and Cindy reported him to police. As it turns out, Kayalar was an illegal immigrant from Germany, so he was sent back to his native country. He contacted Cindy and Rande again last week and asked for $100,000 to prevent the sale of the photo. Authorities have been alerted, but Kayalar is on the run. (New York Daily News)

Seal Beach's annual Christmas Parade tonight is a family affair.
That becomes apparent when hundreds, perhaps thousands, of children meander, skip, dance, twirl, wobble - they really don't just walk - down Main Street, charming and cheering onlookers along the parade route.
Actually, many of the children travel along the three-block route on tricycles, or are pulled along in wagons or baby carriages.
"The parade was born to have families involved," recalled Rick Papp, the parade's cable television host for SBTV3.
Papp has been a fixture of the parade for 22 years, and tonight will be his 23rd parade, as he introduces the parade participants to the crowd and the cable television audience.
The parade, which starts at 7 p.m. at Main Street and Ocean Avenue, is broadcast to Seal Beach and Sunset Beach residents, along with those in Los Alamitos and Rossmoor. It draws about 10,000 spectators and participants, considered a mammoth crowd for Main Street.
The parade ushers in the holidays for the beach town and its neighbors.
And it's grown over the span of its 34-year history, from 23 entries to "well over 100," according to Papp. The marching groups come from Long Beach, Sunset Beach, Los Alamitos, Inglewood and even Mesa, Ariz.
"It's become bigger and better," Papp added.
Papp's first link with the parade was as a participant, as an escort for his sidekick, a puppet named Officer Safety. That's when Papp was grand marshal in 1988.
There are some interesting notes about tonight's parade.
Santa will be cheerful, of course, but under the red coat he'll be wearing a badge and the name tag of Sgt. Steve Bowles. He's following in the steps of Bob Eagle, who wore the red suit for the bulk of the parade's history, before his death about four years ago.
Also, Michael Brief, head of the popular kazoo band, died shortly after last year's parade. However, the ensemble's annual tradition will continue tonight with Brief's son, Garret.
For the last two decades, Papp has continued the tradition first set by Hugh Cherry, the first host for local cable television. In his early 80s, Cherry asked Papp to co-host the parade announcements, and following the parade he asked Papp to solo the routine the following year, saying he was retiring.
It's been a smooth ride, for the most part, Papp recalled.
There have been occasional incidents when a youngster has been lost, requiring Papp to make an announcement, alerting parents to take a head count.
One incident that stands out in Papp's memory involves a little puppy that was being escorted by a volunteer for the town's animal shelter.
As it came into the camera's view, the dog watered the asphalt.
"It was right in front of the camera!" Papp said, laughing.
Migrating birds visit wetlands
It's the wild birds' season for traveling, and many migrating ducks - including Canada geese - are visiting Los Cerritos wetlands in the Hellman Ranch area of Seal Beach.
On Saturday, Audubon naturalist Mary Parsell will host a tour of the wetlands, starting at 8 a.m., at Pacific Coast Highway and First Street, on the east side or inland area of PCH. There's plenty of parking space there.
The easy-paced tour lasts about two hours. Comfortable, closed-toe shoes are recommended.

Indianapolis • The schedule gifted a Brooklyn homecoming to Jamaal Tinsley on Tuesday and a return to Indianapolis for Gordon Hayward on Wednesday.
Miami? Well, that's Raja Bell's hometown. However, the guard has been in Miami throughout the season. Reunion? Don't expect one between Bell and the Jazz when they share the same town for three days.
The 36-year-old guard has been at an impasse with the Jazz for months, with both sides hoping to reach a buyout agreement after Bell made comments about coach Tyrone Corbin last spring that put him at odds with the franchise.
"Hopefully this is wrapping up for me," Bell said, when reached by The Salt Lake Tribune on Thursday. "I'm just trying to lie low and be as under the radar as I can for a while."
Bell has been working out in Miami, and said he is in game shape. He has been linked to both the Lakers and Chicago Bulls by various media outlets, but to this point nothing has come of those discussions. The Jazz earlier this fall gave Bell's agent, Chicago-based Herb Rudoy, clearance to negotiate with other teams and find a new home for Bell, who is in the final year of his contract, which will pay him $3.5 million unless an agreement is reached.
Without the guarantee of a new contract, though, it may not be fiscally prudent for Bell to give money back to the Jazz.
Jazz general manager Dennis Lindsey declined to respond to questions Wednesday asked about the status of buyout discussions with Bell and whether Jazz representatives would meet with him in Miami while the team is in town.
Tinsley town
The chant behind the baseline, from just a few fans: "We want Tinsley."
Backup Jazz point guard Tinsley shared a look with his teammates, and went back to watching the Jazz get blown out by his former team in an eventual 104-84 loss.
Then it picked back up. Louder this time. With clapping added to the cadence.
"We want Tinsley." Clap-clap, clap-clap-clap.
Randy Foye, sitting next to Tinsley, clapped along.
While the big homecoming of the night was that of Hayward, who grew up in nearby Brownsburg, Tinsley was properly acknowledged by fans. The veteran was drafted by the Pacers out of Iowa State and spent the first seven years of his career here.
"I hoped we could have came here and got a win," Tinsley said. "I guess they wanted to see me play. Tonight wasn't my night."
Tinsley was the lone Jazz player not to see action, after playing 12 minutes in Tuesday's 92-90 win over the Nets in Brooklyn. Earl Watson, another former Pacer, played 23 minutes and recorded two assists.
Corbin has treated his reserve point guards almost like MLB pitchers, giving them alternating days off when there is little rest between games.
One last connection
Watson spent the 2009 season with the Pacers, starting 52 games.
Best memories?
"My interaction with Larry Bird," Watson said.
Bird, the Boston Celtics Hall of Famer, was the Pacers' team president at the time, and Watson, who aspires to get into coaching, said he spent as much time around him as possible, soaking up stories.
"It's just a rare chance that you get the knowledge from a champion," Watson said. "I got it before from Jerry West [in Memphis.] ... I just went to hear [Bird's] pregame preparation, which was legendary in the league. He told me his preparation, and he just talked. He's a quiet, humble guy. Little information, but what he says is potent."

GSA Co-Sponsors First Annual Washington-Area Conference on Telework --Conference held on "Telework America" Day
October 24, 2000
Contact: Malcolm Saldanha (202) 501-1231
Washington, DC -- The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) participated in and co-sponsored the first annual Washington Area Conference on Telework on October 24, 2000, to coincide with "Telework America" Day. Other sponsors of this event were the Washington Metropolitan Council of Governments, the International Telework Association and Council (ITAC), and the Fairfax County Government.
The conference, which took place at the Fairfax County Government Center, focused on important objectives regarding the development and promotion of telework in our area. Telework is a work arrangement in which an employee regularly works at an alternate worksite such as the employee's home, a telecommuting center (Telecenter), or other alternate worksite. A telecommuting alternate worksite is any facility, in which the employee works which saves that employee a longer commute (in terms of distance and/or time) to a main worksite.
Telework can quickly and affordably provide a solution to many of the difficult issues facing our region including traffic congestion, work-life balance, hiring and retaining a workforce, and air quality.
The conference saw the joining together of important leaders of both the public and private sectors, as both presenters and participants, with the common goal of helping to increase the number of teleworkers in the Washington Metropolitan region.
Appearing at the event was Representative Frank Wolf (R-10th VA), a long-time supporter of broadening the use of telework policies by both the public and private sectors.
Also appearing were John Edwards and Gail Martin, the President and Executive Director, respectively, of ITAC; Alice Borrelli, Director of Federal Government Affairs at AT&T; Steve Eldridge of WTOP Radio; James W. Dyke, Jr, Chairman of the Metropolitan Washington Council of Chambers, Keith Markley, President of Covad Communications; Michael Saylor, President and CEO of MicroStrategy Inc.; and David Bibb, Associate Administrator for the Office of Real Property at GSA. The Office of Real Property is charged with advocating the use of telework arrangements across the federal government.
As David J. Barram, the Administrator of GSA said: "The promotion of telework policies is a key part of the efforts of the federal government to partner with the public and private sectors to develop new strategies to protect the environment. I believe that telework arrangements can help alleviate air quality and traffic congestion problems throughout the country, especially in large metropolitan areas such as greater Washington, DC."
The conference also publicized a new basic guide on telework, which is designed to educate businesses and the general public on this issue. GSA and ITAC produced this electronic document, titled "Telework: The Future is Now". It can be accessed at the following website:

Taylor Swift: Busy in the Big Apple
Kicking off another jam-packed week, Taylor Swift showed up at a luxury hotel in New York City this afternoon (December 3).
Sporting a striped blue sweater, skinny jeans, and black flats, the "I Knew You Were Trouble" songstress seemed to be in good spirits as she headed inside for a brief respite.
Meanwhile, the gossip mill is running overtime ever since T. Swizzle and Harry Styles from One Direction were spotted on an afternoon date in Central Park over the weekend.
And based on the newly-minted "Haylor" Twitter hashtag, the tweeps are going nuts trying to figure out if this is a true romance, or just more material for new T. Swifty hit songs.

Wednesday, August 24 2011 - 9/11 Consequences
CIA aided New York police in spying on Muslims: report
The extensive story at Yahoo.news includes this video, "Domestic intelligence force: The NYPD after 9/11".
– Ed.
August 24, 2011
Despite a prohibition on spying within the United States, the Central Intelligence Agency played a key role in transforming the New York Police Department's intelligence unit into a cutting edge spy shop dedicated to gathering information on Muslims, and not just in New York.
That's according to a new report out Wednesday by The Associated Press, which claims a veteran CIA agent helped train one of the NYPD's detectives in advanced surveillance methods. They also sent an undercover agent to work in the department, the report says.
With the CIA's help, the NYPD has gathered information on cab drivers, street level food vendors, ethnic book stores, Internet cafes and even mosques, sending snoops in to listen to sermons -- all without a hint of federal, state or local oversight.
Part of their strategy involves the use of a "Demographic Unit," which the NYPD officially denied exists. One undercover officer quoted by AP said he was ordered to move into an ethnic neighborhood and "act like a civilian" so his monitors could use him like a "walking camera."
Detectives have also tapped shopkeepers and "nosy neighbors" in ethnic neighborhoods to keep them updated on local goings-on, according to the report. They've even sent officers into prisons to promise help for Muslim prisoners, if they'll just work with the police.
Unlike the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which is prohibited from conducting similar operations without prior evidence of wrongdoing, the NYPD is unrestricted in this manner, although AP noted that the department has been keen to cover its tracks, to prevent any appearance of civil rights abuses or racial profiling.
The NYPD's intelligence unit isn't restricted to just New York either, and some agents have been deputized as federal marshals, conducting operations in other states. When they do so, however, they are not permitted to make arrests, AP added.
Officially the department said it only follows specific leads and does not profile ethnic areas.

Right now they are.
The Yankees, Rays and Orioles have rosters that are capable of reaching the playoffs when healthy.
With Toronto landing this mega deal, they've put themselves into the same category, AS LONG as their key players can stay healthy.. Josh Johnson could significantly improve their starting pitching.
~ Oscar Taveras ~ The next Phenom
holy frig people...The Jays have been the laughing stock of the MLB for the 2000's...less lately but still...brutal. The Red Sox had their brutal years too. Baseball, unless you have uber deep pockets like NYY, LAA, Texas, etc, is about build, rebuild, hopefully develop your youth....the Jays have done a great job over the past 4-5 yrs of developing their youth and farm. This has given then the luxury of being able to use these kids, and the marketing power that goes along with the development, to get a trade like they got today. There is no way, not in a million years, that this trade is balanced from a talent perspective. BUT...it is nice, as a Jays fan for my entire life (well since they started), that they are relevant again.
The Jays had a good team last year, but injuries prevented that from coming to fruition. but alot of teams had serious injury problems last year and its just simply part of the game.
I think that the Jays still have several moves coming - I think that they are looking for another proven and strong starting pitcher. I think that they will move JPA and pieces for that. and I think that they are looking for more OBP hitters...and they will spend up to $145M to get the team...IMO Rogers has told Alex Anthopolus...now is the time...spend to your hearts content. We want to win, we want a product on the field that at least on paper is in contention...we want to play with NY, Boston, Texas, etc salary wise...

Josh Johnson's injury situation may be overblown a bit. He did miss almost all of 2011 due to recovering from surgery, but in the other 3 of the past 4 years he was 209, 183.2 and 191.1 innings pitched.
It's a valid concern that a human being who's had an injury in the past may get injured again in the future, but he's only signed through 2013 anyways.
I thought you said you were going to let us have our 48 hour parade uninterrupted, after your previous interruption!
As for Jeter, I'm not a fan of him at all, but how can you possibly claim resigning him was a mistake? Defensively? maybe. But he's definitely worked out for them quite well all things considered. Far from a mistake.
The Yankees, overall, have been a model of good spending considering their dominance of the most difficult division in baseball over the past 15 years.

Reyes is a brutal fielding SS now - much less then what you dealt. He's a bit above average with the bat outside of his one big year. He's injury prone and artificial surfaces kill him. I'd bet anybody that his last 4 years on average will be well below in FG WAR $ then his salary - at least $7M per, if not $14M per. Ugh.

6/27/09: We expect [Rondo] to play by the rules and be a leader as a point guard. We need him to be more of a leader, Ainge said. There were just a couple situations where he was late this year, I dont know if he was sitting in his car, but showed up late and the rest of the team was there. We have team rules and you have to be on time. He was fined for being late, he said he was stuck in traffic, and its just unacceptable.
told you all since 2010 he was a toolbag.....

Chefs' Secrets: Oak Hills Country Club's Brussels Sprouts
Published 12:01 am, Wednesday, May 11, 2011
Dear Pat: I would love to have a recipe that my friend and I had at Oak Hills Country Club on their buffet. It has been a couple of years since we ate it; however it was the best. Brussels sprouts whole, with slits and bacon ... I can't remember what else. Thanks for your effort.
Dear Donna Marie: Some vegetables (like some people), don't get the respect they deserve. So it is with Brussels sprouts — the diminutive green cabbages said to have been cultivated in Belgium since the 16th century. At Oak Hills Country Club, executive chef James "Jimmy" Strikos, a veteran in the kitchen, knows how to turn these bite-size sprouts into a truly succulent side dish. All it takes is the addition of crisp apple-smoked bacon and caramelized onion, and those naysayers will be begging for more.
Brussels sprouts can be found, especially during the winter months, still attached to their stocks. Always choose the smallest stalks, as the sprouts will be nutty-sweet rather than strong. They are most often found loose, however, and if so, choose smaller ones that feel heavy for their size, with leaves tightly closed.
Brussels sprouts are very easy to prepare. Strikos first boils them briefly in plenty of salted water. This ensures the sprouts will have the mildest flavor and most vibrant color. Cutting an X in the base helps them cook evenly. He finishes the cooking in a skillet along with the partially cooked bacon and onion. You can serve them hot out of the pan, but I find they're wonderful at room temperature too, making this a great dish for a buffet.
Oak Hills Country Club is at 5403 Fredericksburg Road.
