Pope Benedict XVI has made a historic visit to Istanbul's famous Blue Mosque on a third day of his stay in Turkey.
Inside the 17th century mosque, the pontiff prayed silently in what was seen as a gesture of reconciliation to the Muslims.
The Pope took off his shoes before entering the mosque. It marked only the second papal visit - after John Paul II's in 2001 - to a Muslim place of worship.
Security measures in Istanbul were said to be tighter than during US President George W Bush's visit to Turkey in 2004.
Earlier, Benedict visited the nearby Hagia Sophia which was built as a Christian church in the 6th century before becoming a mosque in 1453. It is now a museum.
The pope began the day by attending a service by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I, the spiritual leader of the world's 250m Orthodox Christians.
The original reason for the pontiff's visit to Turkey was to heal an old rift between the Western and the Eastern rites of Christianity.
But the visit was overshadowed by the Pope's recent comments on Islam which angered the Muslim world. Some 150 people protested against the pontiff's visit on Thursday.

This week the San Francisco 49ers travel to the University of Phoenix Stadium for their contest against the Arizona Cardinals. It will be the second divisional game in a row for the 49ers and their opportunity to distance themselves from their NFC west peers. This contest also marks the third time the 49ers are to play a primetime game, as well as their first of two Monday night contests in 2012. The 49ers, at 5-2 on the year, are coming off a brutally hard fought win against the Seattle Seahawks in week seven. Only to step back into another dog fight at Arizona. Divisional games are always a heated affair, with stoic and determined play by both organizations. Without question, this game will come down to heart and desire to pull off the win.
The 49ers, on their part, have to keep with the program that has brought them their five wins already. The running attack is a must. Even with a staunch Cardinals defense making life difficult for them, the 49ers cannot get discouraged. They have to keep giving the ball to running back Frank Gore to make this trip into the Cardinals home a success. Gore is the catalyst that drives the 49ers offense. Only with his efforts, do the opportunities for the 49ers other offensive avenues transpire. Gore is fourth in the entire league in rushing with 601 yards, and tied for third in the league in rushing touchdowns with four. It is absolutely imperative that the 49ers go to him early and often. Then sprinkle in some Kendall Hunter as relief, and add some short passes to Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis. With that, the defense is opened up to deep balls to Randy Moss and Mario Manningham, as well as allowing the wild cat offense and back up quarterback Colin Kaepernick to utilize their skills.
With that formula, it will be difficult for any team to beat them, let alone the Cardinals. Especially when the 49ers defense will be drooling at the thought of the opportunity to make game changing plays. The Cardinals offense is in a complete state of disarray right now, and they are leaving the door wide open for defenses to take advantage of their shortcomings.
Just in the last four games they have allowed 29 sacks. The relentless 49ers pass rush should have a field day pressuring the quarterback if the Cardinals haven't solved their offensive line problems. And in the last three games, the Cardinals offense has thrown three interceptions to only two touchdowns. That is due in large part to the woes of the offensive line as well, the quarterback just doesn't have enough time to make correct decisions and accurate passes. To top it all off, both the first and second string running back are on the injured reserve list. The current starting running back for them was ranked fourth in the depth chart coming into the season.
The Cardinals are coming off of three straight losses heading into week eight. And while there is always hope for teams to pull off unprecedented upsets, there is no doubt that the tide keep pushing the Cardinals further and further into deeper water. The Cardinals, even if they find a way to keep their quarterback upright, will need a Herculean effort to dethrone the 49ers from atop the NFC west. I can be done, but it is very unlikely. Prediction: 49ers 31, with seven sacks and two interception. Cardinals 10.Tags: Arizona Cardinals, Colin Kaepernick, Football, Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter, Michael Crabtree, NFL, Randy Moss, San Francisco, San Francisco 49ers, Vernon Davis

Here in gun-nut central - Phoenix, AZ. there is a "Gun Show". The Crossroads of the West gun show is currently taking place near downtown and is likely to attract thousands of attendees interested in firearms. Also in attendance will be hundreds of second amendment extremists, living in fear of their perceived second amandment rights being taken away by president Obama.
I want to clear up one major misconceptioin before I continue: No one - not the president, not the Vice President, Nor Dianne Feinstein or Nancy Pelosi is going to "take your guns away", and have not said they want to. It's a fallacy of hyped up rhetoric promoted by the NRA.
OK. The hypocrisy I mention in the headline comes from the fact that at the Crossroads of the West gun show, the organizer tells all attendees that only unloaded firearms are allowed, and any magazines are to be empty also. Another group holding a rally, protesting president Obama's addressing gun violence by pursuing new firearms restrictions is set for next month. The Sonoran Alliance bills itself as "Extremely Conservative", and also tells all who plan to attend that all firearms are to be unloaded, and magazines should be kept in pockets.
These measures are far more restrictive than anything president Obama, Senator Dianne Feinstein or anyone else has proposed, yet the extremists are fine with that. HUH?? Their beloved NRA rails on and on about president Obama wanting to "take your guns away", yet they're just hunkey dorey with being told they cannot carry a loaded firearm into a gun show?? WTH?? The stated reson is for "Safety"
Maybe between all the rhetorical fear being spread by the NRA they missed the fact that Safety is the very reason president Obama is pursuing new and better firearms legislation, and has introduced new restrictions.
I guess firearms regulation is OK as long as it's not coming from president Obama. That is Hypocrisy with a capital H.

June is Bustin' Out All Over
Bali by the Numbers: June Arrivals Set New Highs for Month with 2005 Half-Way to Setting New Record for the Year.
Foreign direct arrivals for the month of June 2005 hit 136,386 visitors surpassing last June's totals by 3.6% (131,544) and claiming for the month the moniker of the "best June ever" in terms of tourism arrivals for Bali.
Shaping Up to Become a Record Breaking Year
Year-to-date totals for the first six month of 2005 were no less impressive. From January-June 2005 a total of 688,974 direct foreign arrivals came to Bali, beating by 38.8% the 499,902 visitors achieved in the same period just one year before. Moreover, the half-year figure's for 2005 also managed to beat by 26.9% the "best ever January-June" tourist arrivals record set by Bali in 2001 (542,731).
2 Million Tourists for Bali in 2005?
In 2004, Bali set a new year long record of foreign arrivals with 1.46 million tourist recorded. If current rates of growth are maintained for the last half of 2005, Bali could conceivably finish the year with nearly 2 million foreign tourists.
Whether such expectations are realistic will depend on current efforts underway to add seat capacity to Bali with growth potential for traffic over the peak season months of July - September very much governed by availability of seats from key markets in Europe, the Americas and Australia.
Shown on
are month-by-month foreign direct arrivals to Bali January through June 1999-2005 together with a graphic tracking the island's arrivals during that period.
Our next edition of
"Bali by the Numbers"
will take a closer look at January June 2005 arrivals to discover trends and changes in Bali's source markets.
New Energy Policy Puts Bali Night Life in Limbo
Bali Night Spots Headed for a Showdown with Jakarta on Newly Mandated 1 a.m. Closing Time?
In order to overcome a nation-wide energy crisis, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has introduced a number of sweeping measures via
Presidential Instruction (INPRES No. 10/2005),
signed on July 10, 2005.
Those instructions require and empower members of the Cabinet to undertake dramatic reforms in their respective areas of control that will drastically reduce the Country's reliance on fossil fuels.
The measures introduced and under consideration are wide-spread and comprehensive, including: air conditioners in government offices to be set at 25 degrees Celsius; uniforms worn by civil servants will be more casual and cooler; limitations on the use of lifts in public buildings; restrictions on the use of state-owned vehicles; and the elimination broadcasts between 1 a.m. and sunrise by local TV stations.
Bali's Dilemma
Local business circles in Bali are awaiting formal instructions from the island's Governor on specific measures to be introduced in support of the newly issued Presidential instruction. According to the Indonesian-language
Bali Post,
the necessary coordination meeting to discuss what energy-saving measures would be introduced in Bali had yet to take place by Wednesday, July 13, 2005.
Night Spots to Close at 1:00 a.m.?
While waiting for specific energy saving measures to be announced, Governor Dewa Beratha did hint at what might be in store when he was quoted in the Indonesian-language
Bisnis Indonesia
saying he hoped Bali's night spot operators would follow the energy-saving example set by Indonesia's TV stations by shutting down operations every night at 1:00 a.m..
In his comments, made after attending meetings at the Provincial Parliament on Thursday, July 14, 2005, the Governor suggested that night spots staying open after 1:00 a.m. would receive two formal warnings before experiencing the final enforcement step of having their operating licenses revoked.
Despite the presence in Bali of a sizeable late-night entertainment industry, which includes a number of bars and entertainment venues operating until sunrise, the Chief of Tourism for the Province Gede Nurjaya told
Bisnis Bali
that Bali's tourism industry would not suffer unduly from the introduction of a 1:00 a.m. closing time. According to Nurjaya, visitors will understand such measure if operators of night spots explain that the early closing time is part of a national energy-saving program. Moreover, according to Nurjaya, tourists will understand mandatory closing times as similar measures are generally already in place in their home countries.
The tourism Chief did not discount that the closing time measures could be reviewed and re-evaluated if was demonstrated that the effects on the local economy were too severe.
Business as Usual?
During the first weekend following the issuance of the Presidential Instructions on energy conservation there appeared to be little effect on Bali's night scene with night clubs, bars and late-night restaurants continuing to operate as usual.
Star Air Flies Again
Indonesian Carrier is Back in the Air.
After a 45-day grounding caused by financial woes, Indonesia's
Star Air
re-commenced flight operations on Friday, July 15, 2005.
During the month and one-half hiatus,
Star Air
restructured its management and its debt structure and has re-emerged with a smaller fleet, now operating only three Boeing 737-200 aircrafts. The airline's two less fuel efficient MD-80 aircraft have been retired from the fleet.
The airline's current schedule operates 3 flights daily between Jakarta and Bali with one of those flight offering a continuing service to Kupang, West Timor.
In addition to Bali (Denpasar) and Kupang,
Star Air
also flies to Surabaya and Manado from its Jakarta hub.
Parlez Vous Bahasa Indonesia?
Foreign Workers May Soon Have to Demonstrate Fluency in Indonesian to Obtain Immigration and Working Permits.
A page-one story in the
Jakarta Post
last week suggests that steps are underway that will soon make it cumpulsory for all foreigners wishing to work in Indonesia to demonstrate proficiency in Indonesian language.
Under increasing pressure from the
World Trade Organization
to liberalize access to Indonesian labor markets for citizens of the 10-member
Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN)
by 2006, and for other nations by 2008, the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration, Fahmi Idris, told the press that an agency empowered by the manpower department would test and certify foreign worker's proficiency in the Indonesian language.
Those defending the controversial plan argue that by ensuring that foreigners working in Indonesia have a fluency in the national language efforts to train and upgrade Indonesian workers will be assisted.
In response to an outcry from foreign investment circles following the announcement of the new language requirement, the Chairman of the
National Commission for Standardization of Prefessions (DNSP),
Mudjiman, made efforts to assure all concerned that Indonesia would remain open to foreign workers and students. Mudjiman, who is also the Director General of Labor Productivity at the Manpower Ministry, said foreigners would still be allowed to work and study in Indonesia providing their presence provides a "mutual benefit for the country and the foreigners themselves."
According to the
Jakarta Post
article, the new language requirement will become effective in 2006 with the concept and form of the testing procedure still under consideration.
President to Open Bali Interfaith Dialogue
Bali to be Venue for Two-Day Meeting Between Representative of The World's Religions July 21-22, 2005.
President Susilo Bambang Yodhoyono will officially inaugurate the
Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM)
in Bali on July 21-22, 2005, creating an inter-faith dialogue at the
Bali International Convention Center (BICC)
in Nusa Dua, Bali.
Sponsored primarily by Indonesia and Britain, representatives from 39
partners and a number of international observers are expected to attend together with government officials, intellectuals, senior journalists and the religious leaders representing, among others, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, and Judaism.
A Most Timely Meeting
According to a Department of Foreign Affairs Spokesman, events of recent days in London have made the theme of the meeting "Building Interfaith Harmony within the International Community" extremely timely and, according to the official, "would be used to develop and promote mutual understanding and respect among all religions and faiths in Asia and Europe."
ASEM (the Asia-Europe Meeting)
is an informal process of dialogue and cooperation bringing together European Union member states and the European Commission, with ten Asian countries (Brunei, China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam). The
ASEM dialogues
address political, economic and cultural issues, with the objective of strengthening the relationship between the two regions, in a spirit of mutual respect and equal partnership.

Bali, Also, Remembers
Several Hundred Gather at Bali Bombing Monument to Remember Victims of London's '7-7' Terror Attack.
Coinciding with similar remembrance ceremonies held around the world, over 200 people gathered at Bali's Bombing Memorial on Thursday, July 14, 2005, to remember the dead and injured who fell in the attack on London's transport system just one week before.
The informal affair, convened via a banner hung at the scene of the October 12, 2002 bombing of a Bali night spot, was marked by quiet prayers offered during a bief candlelight vigil that began at 7 p.m. local time.

Editorial: We've Been Warned!
London Article Highlights the Confusion and Double Standard Applied in World-Wide Travel Warning System.
The irony of events following the tragic July 7 terrorist attack on London transport was not lost on those in Bali who have long contended that the way in which travel warnings are raised suffer in equal measures from political meddling and illogic.
Vicious, arbitrary attacks on London's public transport perpetrated by what were apparently home-grown terrorists, did not result in travel warnings by various countries urging their nationals to leave London and avoid unnecessary travel to the United Kingdom. One exception, a hurried order issued in the hours following the bombing directing European-based American servicemen avoid London, was quickly countermanded when the U.S. Chain of Command became aware of the political fallout the "travel warning" would generate.
Confusion Prevails
"why and wherefore"
of international travel warnings remain both a worry and a source of confusion for those involved in international travel. Indonesia - praised from Washington to Canberra to Whitehall as a noble ally in the international war on terror, continues to suffer from the seemingly arbitrary way in which countries decide to direct their nationals on whether a holiday in Bali or Indonesia is safe.
Tom Chesshyre, writing in the U.K.'s
The Times
Bali Safety Confusion
] underlined this lack of consensus in how travel warnings are formulated, with the U.K. Foreign and Commonwealth Office declaring Bali "safe" while the U.S. Department of State and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs discourage "non-essential travel" to Indonesia.
reports quoting British security officials freely admitting that a London terror attack was inevitable,a matter of "when" and not "if" - such admissions immediately beg the question of why international travel warnings against London travel were never issued alerting people to the risks ahead?
Proof of such blatantly uneven-handedness in the issuance of travel warnings has many cynically wondering what role political connections and membership in the "coalition of the willing" now occupying Iraq plays in deciding whether or not a country suffer the economic burden of being on a negative travel advisory list.
Indeed, for those who closely monitor the development of travel advisories, there appears to be little rhyme and less reason in how travel warnings are issued and applied. Religiously motivated kidnappings and bombing attacks in Madrid, Istanbul, New York, London, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines evoke vastly varied responses from in terms of travel warnings from the foreign affairs departments of the U.K., U.S.A. and Australia.
In one instance, particularly illustrative of the arbitrary nature in which travel warnings are applied, a terrorist act several years ago in the Southern Philippines prompted the U.S. State Department to respond by issuing a travel warning for Northern Sulawesi in Indonesia, but not for the Philippines where the actual incident occurred.
We Agree with General James Jones
Doing a well-practiced
about face
honed during a long military career, General James Jones, Commander of U.S. forces for Europe, quickly rescinded the travel ban issued last week barring U.S. troop visits to London, saying: "While all personnel are encouraged to be vigilant, we cannot allow ourselves to be intimidated by the acts of terrorists. All US personnel are encouraged to continue with their normal routine."
Hear, Hear. Commander Jones!
Clearly, we now all live in a world in which no country can claim immunity from terrorist attacks. Therefore, warnings against international travel issued in the absence of specific and credible intelligence threats only serve to continue the work of terrorists by causing economic upheaval and displacement on people dependent on international tourism.
Countries like Indonesia, who have an unequalled record of success in the apprehension and conviction of terrorists, have an equal right to be treated as true allies on the international "war on terror" including having our national interests considered in each step in the multi-national effort to combat the effects of international acts of intimidation.
We applaud the U.K. Government's measured and more sensible approach of issuing travel warnings only when a specific and credible threat can be identified.
The "Chicken Little" approach, currently in vogue in Washington and Canberra when issuing travel advisories for Indonesia, fails on a variety of levels. Generalized and non-specific in nature, such warning are of little value to travelers and, over time, are largely ignored as evidenced by record numbers of Australian's currently holidaying in Bali despite official warnings to avoid all
"non essential"
travel to Indonesia. And, to the extent that such official warning manage to discourage travel, particularly conference and meeting business to Indonesia, they play into the hands of the terrorists whose original intent was to destroy the local economy by undermining the foundations of international tourism.
Who Goes There? Friend or Foe?
In the current state of affairs forgive us in Bali if we are unclear and confused as to where "our allies" really stand: Shoulder to shoulder with us in resisting the terrorists who have proven they can attack at any time and place, or in the other camp occupied by unwittingly dupes collaborating with those trying to intimidate and end a way of life through acts of terror?

Eternal Line Paintings by Stephan Spicher
Swiss-born Painter in Solo Exhibition at Balis Amanusa July 20 August 31, 2005.
Swiss-born painter Stephan Spicher continues his fascination with exploring lines as part of his spiritual and physical journey through Asia.
Educated at the Art School of Basel and in the studio of Italian painter Beppe Assenza, Spicher first came to Bali in 1992 as part of the
Christoph Merian Foundation Exchange Program.
He has exhibited his works widely, including numerous shows in his native Switzerland as well as the U.S., Russia and Bali.
Painting in a style described as
"spiritual minimalism,"
Spicher sees his work, and that of fellow artists in Bali, Japan and China as a shared expression of a common concern for the infinite.
Eternal Line
Spicher's paintings will be on exhibit in the
Amanusa Resort's
library and boardroom from July 20 through August 31, 2005, from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. daily.

A Diplomatic Appointment
Embattled Australian Immigration Secretary Bill Farmer Resigns to Accept Jakarta Ambassadorial Posting.
Resigning his top post just days before release for what was widely expected to be a scathing Government review of mismanagement within the Australian Department of Immigration, career civil servant Bill Farmer will soon be packing his bags to accept an appointment as Canberra's next ambassador to Jakarta.
The head of Australian immigration department since 2001, Mr. Farmer's department has borne the brunt of negative publicity following the widely publicized illegal detention and deportation of several Australian citizens which prompted the current official government review of policies and procedures within the immigration department.

Giuliana Rancic Baby 2 Pregnant 2013 News Coming Soon? 'I Definitely Want Another Kid Soon,' But Not Husband Bill, Gives Twitter Love to Fans Always
Giuliana Rancic is again revealing that she wants another baby soon after having her son Duke and she doesn't mind being pregnant again.
"I definitely want to have another kid soon," Rancic, 39, told E! Online "I'm ready, but Bill's the one not ready to pull the trigger yet."
Bill and Giuliana Rancic welcomed Duke via surrogate in August 2012.
Back in June this year, Rancic already unveiled that she wants another child.
"We're definitely thinking about it," the "Giuliana & Bill" star told Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Wednesday's Access Hollywood Live. "We'd love another child. So, we'll see."
But parenting isn't easy, which is why Bill is NOT so fond of having another one so quickly.
"Any time we have a rough time with Duke, he's like, 'What do you think about just one?'" she said with a laugh. "I'm like, 'Bill, I'm Italian, I need a big family.' I mean, there's nothing more beautiful. I think [you should] have as many kids as you can handle!" Rancic said in June, adding, "Why not? And I think that in the future, we'll be so glad that we had as many kids as we did."
Being a working mom is no joke though, which Rancic realizes.
"Honestly, I think it's a lot harder than I thought it was going to be, just because you want to be such a good parent, you love your kid so much-but it's hard when you have a career and a husband and friends. It's hard to juggle it all," Rancic recently said to E! Online.
Rancic also dished on Duke's birthday plans, which include family time in Chicago at Bill's sister's lake house. He turns one-years-old on Aug. 29.
"We're going to go tubing and water skiing, and when I say 'we'-Duke and Bill," Rancic laughed. "I will not be doing any of those things."
Rancic keeps her 3.1 million Twitter fans in her loop by telling them her moves on the social network and also responding to many of their tweeted.
"Luv u! RT @b1tttycent: Combining my #MCM and #WCW to my fave couple ever and my idol @GiulianaRancic," Rancic tweeted on Aug. 21. The fan tweeted a photo of Rancic and her handsome husband.
On Aug. 22 Rancic said, "Thanks! @HSN RT @katbyrd2011: @GiulianaRancic I just purchased my first piece of G clothing the maxi tea skirt I love it."
Do you think we will hear Giuliana Rancic pregnant news soon? Sound off below!

Dutch plan euro giveaway
By BBC World Business Report's Duncan Bartlett
On 1 January 2002 the euro finally becomes legal tender in 12 different countries.
More than 15 billion euro notes and 50 billion coins will be delivered to banks around Europe over the next few weeks in preparation.
The Netherlands has embraced the single currency with enthusiasm, and aims to complete the changeover in less than half the time that other countries are aiming for.
The government has undertaken an expensive advertising campaign and plans to give away free cash.
"All Dutch people of six years and older will get a letter in the first week of December containing a voucher. With that voucher they can get a free set of coins," said finance ministry spokesman Geroun Sprenger.
"It is a kind of gift from the government to mark the fact that it will be the new currency from the 1 January onwards."
The 'gift' is expected to total about 3.88 euros.
Ambitious plans
The Dutch have given themselves just 28 days to take the guilder out of circulation.
In contrast, other countries are allowing two months for the changeover.
Cor De Klerk, head of euro operations at ABN Amro, says the shorter time frame is putting pressure on business.
He believes that while most big companies, banks and financial institutions are well prepared for the changeover, many medium-sized companies are not.
"I think they still have a lot to do to get prepared not only for the changeover themselves, but also on their coins and notes preparations," he said.
Retail challenge
Retailers will initially have to accept guilders in payment from customers but give change in euros.
Frank Ponsionen, managing partner of the accountants Grant Thornton, says that may cause confusion.
He believes most people are aware of the euro but are not yet ready for the introduction of the new currency.
"They need to be trained in what the euro is all about - to convert their computer software, to convert their product pricing," he said.
"They have to train their employees and especially they have to get ready to order their coins and notes and not everyone is aware of that," he added.
Opinion polls show 70% of Dutch people are confident the euro will benefit their economy.
But they're also hoping that the big launch party on 1 January won't be followed by a terrible hangover.

Federated Kaufmann Small Cap
Type: Small-cap growth
2012 Return: 23.85%
Category Return: 11.17
Lawrence Auriana and Hans Utsch are legendary growth investors. Back in 2002, they launched a new fund, Federated Kaufmann Small Cap A (MUTF:FKASX), with a focus on small-cap operators.
As should be no surprise, it has been quite volatile. Of course, the worst came in 2008, when the fund lost 43.7%.
Yet over the past three years, FKASX has gotten its groove back. The annual average gain was about 12.35%.
Some of the top holdings include Dynavax Technologies (NASDAQ:DVAX), Cubist Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:CBST) and Mellanox (NASDAQ:MLNX).

The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven
HarperPerennial, 1993 - Fiction - 223 pages
In this darkly comic short story collection, Sherman Alexie, a Spokane/Coeur d'Alene Indian, brilliantly weaves memory, fantasy, and stark realism to paint a complex, grimly ironic portrait of life in and around the Spokane Indian Reservation. These twenty-two interlinked tales are narrated by characters raised on humiliation and government-issue cheese, and yet are filled with passion and affection, myth and dream. There is Victor, who as a nine-year-old crawled between his unconscious parents hoping that the alcohol seeping through their skins might help him sleep, Thomas Builds-the-Fire, who tells his stories long after people stop listening, and Jimmy Many Horses, dying of cancer, who writes letters on stationary that reads "From the Death Bed of Jimmy Many Horses III, " even though he actually writes then on his kitchen table. Against a backdrop of alcohol, car accidents, laughter, and basketball, Alexie depicts the distances between Indians and whites, reservation Indians and urban Indians, men and women, and mostly poetically between modern Indians and the traditions of the past.

Defense still searching for 1st interception
The Steelers proved last season that numbers often are overrated.
They led the AFC in pass defense (171.9 yards per game) but had only 11 interceptions. Only five conference teams had fewer picks. In contrast, New England led the AFC with 23.
The Steelers committed to being more aggressive this season, and they recorded five interceptions in the preseason. They haven't been nearly as aggressive during the regular season, partly because safeties Ryan Clark and Troy Polamalu have yet to play together and still are looking for their first interception.
"Everybody wants to get an interception because it's a game-changing play," said cornerback Keenan Lewis said. "We're going to make our share of plays. We've to find a way to make (Raiders quarterback Carson Palmer) put that ball up so we can make our share of plays."
All in the game
Cornerback Ike Taylor has been preparing for the Raiders all season — on "Madden NFL 13."
"I play with the Raiders on 'Madden,' so I know what kind of team they have. I like that team," Taylor said. "They have three receivers who can fly. When they get it together, it's going to be (trouble) for a whole lot of people."
— Ralph N. Paulk
184.5 Passing yards per game the Steelers are allowing (second in AFC)
324.5 Passing yards per game by the Oakland offense (first in AFC)

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
So for $825 in taxes owed they've garnished 10,000?
yes i was garnished every paycheck for 2 years is there a way too get money back for the state over charging me sals tax ?
3 years *
let me do a little looking but the best answer is probably going to be get a good attorney with this type of experience
You may have to give up SOME of it in attorneys fees
but geez 10,000 on a *25 debt
is excessive... you might
even be able to sue for paid and suffering, damages
just a sec ok?
sorry $825
right 250 for each of three years?
soeey 275
a its stupid they took way more than i made from the buisness i only had about 12 accounts and because i didnt pay the sales tax for 3 years which i know was my falt i dont see how they can charge so much for so little actually owed.
if I have the numbers right 10,000 for 825?
somethin else is going on here
BUG mistake
r they're claimng other things like state income tax as well
BIT, so sorry
ya i owed 825 i only made about 5,00 or 6 thousand each year with the accounts
you're sure of the numbers?
and you're sure that this isn't income taxes too?
yes very sure
Something is very wrong
Have you tried calling them?
no i claimed the income it was for sales tax only
Something's really out of whack here
I really do think you should speak to an attorney ... even if you have to pay 1000 you'd still get 7500, 8000 back
Can you give me a minute to sdp 2 things?
(1) look a WI dept of revenue site for a petition form
(2) look for attys in WI that specialize in this
they said because i didnt put in the form for sales tax they use some kind of average for everyone too pay a base amount i just want to know if there is away to put in a correction to the sales tax i paid so i can get a refund from them
ok let me see if if can find the form for you
yo9u probably can just go back and file the right form
may have to pay some late interest but nothing like that
they're just scaring you into getting the form in
thats what i thought
let me look
ok ty
I'll be away for less than a minute here
How do I amend my sales and use tax return?
Amend your return online using My Tax Account, the department's online filing system. The department will immediately acknowledge receipt of your amended returns filed electronically.
Additional information regarding filing amended returns can be found in the Form ST-12 Instructions and Publication 216.
now, let me get you the actual link to that site
AND the instructions
ok ty so much for the help if they stone wall me ill get a lawyer after them thanks again for the help
Wait check this on out to
now let me see if I can get you right to the site where you do it
There you go ... choose the link for business
wow thanks alot for all the help
option ! .. bet it will bepretty straightforward from there
again, sorry, option (1)
ya i think so to
You're wecome I thin that'll get you there
ya i think so thanks much
You're welcome Go for for it... and if you have further questions as you get further in let me know ,,, you can come back here
If this HAS given you enough information, I would appreciate either an "accept" or a feedback rating of 3 (OK) or better. That's the only way they will pay us here. HOWEVER, if you need more on this, PLEASE COME BACK here, so you won't be charged for another question.
you will get a 5 thanks again
Hi James, you should be able to rate now, I had the system set to INFORMATION REQUEST so I could make sure we got to the bottom of things. Sorry about that.
Thanks againLane

Lupita Nyong'o Admits To Praying For Lighter Skin In The Past
Footage of Oscar winner, Lupita Nyong'o speaking at an Essence magazine's Black Women In Hollywood luncheon surfaces and it's a tear-jerker.
Lupita reads a personal essay on how she used to pray for lighter skin to God as a little girl. Thankfully, women like Alex Wek hit the news and this boosted Lupita self-image because they are close in complexion.
I remember a time when I too felt unbeautiful. I put on the TV and only saw pale skin, I got teased and taunted about my night-shaded skin… And when I was a teenager my self-hate grew worse, as you can imagine happens with adolescence. My mother reminded me often that she thought that I was beautiful but that was no conservation, she's my mother, of course she's supposed to think I am beautiful. And then…Alek Wek. A celebrated model, she was dark as night, she was on all of the runways and in every magazine and everyone was talking about how beautiful she was. Even Oprah called her beautiful and that made it a fact. I couldn't believe that people were embracing a woman who looked so much like me, as beautiful. My complexion had always been an obstacle to overcome and all of a sudden Oprah was telling me it wasn't.
Hit the "recommend" button if you're glad that Lupita understands her beauty now.
