January 2014: World Toilet Day 2013 commemoration
By Rufus C. E. Eshuchi
LUSAKA, Zambia – World Toilet Day (WTD) was commemorated in Chona Chiefdom in Monze district last 19 November. The event doubled up as celebrations to declare the Chiefdom open defecation free (ODF).
Presiding over the event, Hon. Kufuna urged other chiefdoms in Monze and Zambia at large to accelerate community-led total sanitation (CLTS) initiatives to ensure the program is able to meet its goals.
He said that the Ministry of Local Government and Housing together with partners have to ensure that 3 million rural Zambians gain access to improved sanitation by 2015.
The colorful event attracted visitors from all walks of life in the district and was attended by 15 chiefs from Southern and Central Provinces.
Hon. Kufuna emphasized the importance of having a toilet and handwashing with soap and urged homesteads to ensure that they observe the two very important practices.
Eshuchi is a C4D Specialist with UNICEF Zambia.

Who to believe, N.Y. prosecutors or Breitbart?
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
Andrew Breitbart's Big Journalism delivered a monumentally lame, not to mention embarrassingly tardy, defense of the continuing ACORN controversy. And specifically it came up short in its limp attempt to rebuff New York prosecutors, whose sources told both the New York Daily News and the New York Post last week that the undercover ACORN videos they looked at, as part of their investigation, had been heavily edited.
Big Journalism's response to the charge the videos were edited? No they weren't. Trust us.
Yep, the same people who concocted the ACORN pimp myth, and who refuse to release all unedited ACORN videos, now insists that that we take their word over New York prosecutors who saw the unedited clips and announced they had been heavily edited.
But for the pure comic effect, you have to read the Breitbart crew's monumentally feeble attempt at defense:
Ironically, with no tangible evidence that O'Keefe's videos were, in fact, "heavily edited," the left has been literally heavily editing their attack plan against him – correcting, updating, and revising their angles of assault in order to catch up with the facts.
So yeah, just ignore those quotes from prosecutors in the Daily News and Post. According to Breitbart's team, they don't exists. Instead, in Breibart World, there's "no tangible evidence." And no, BTW, they won't dare release the unedited videos and give other independent observes a chance to confirm tangible evidence.
And check this part out:
Their next angle has been echoing the Brooklyn District Attorney's office contention that the videos were a "heavily edited splice job." No they weren't. And we still await a shred of evidence to the contrary. However, the left doesn't depend on evidence to support their accusations – they depend on the loudness and repetition of the accusation itself.
Priceless. Breitbart's site, having provided no evidence to support its claim about the ACORN vids, accuses the Left of never depending on evidence to support their charges.
It truly is amateur hour.
Bottom line: Breitbart's not-very-nimble team has no idea how to play defense, which accounts for its nearly uniform incoherence in recent days and weeks with regards to the unraveling ACORN story.

Therein lies my objection - you can't fix what you don't understand. What you are proposing is a work-around. The root cause has not yet been found.... A recent example, perhaps. We discovered that the way semaphores are implemented on x86_64 can result in a thread calling up() still using the semaphore when the waiting down() has already been woken and hence can free the semaphore while we are still using it. The first patch I saw fixed the symptom seen in the buffer cache by adding an extra reference to the xfs_buf_t across I/O so that the up() in I/O completion was guaranteed to complete before we dropped the reference and freed the xfs_buf_t. However, looking at it more deeply lead us to the fundamental problem that semaphores are optimised in an non-obvious way that lead to this problem (i.e. that down() can complete before up()). The result of understanding this is that semaphores were not safe for use within XFS for flush locks, I/O completion semaphores, etc, so we had to replace them all with completions. This is a similar situation - if the sv_t is broken, we need to replace all users, not just work around one symptom of the brokenness. This is expecially important as the remaining users of sv_t's are in the log for iclog synchronisation.... >> Only the XFS code can cause it to be woken.... > Do you know this for sure? Yes! wake_up() can only wake tasks on that wait queue's task list.

By Debra Downey, Senior Editor

Derek Douglas has finally found his niche.

After years of working in various fields, Douglas has lent his considerable talents in illustration to the fun and informative Canada: Our Road to Democracy. The new A-Z children's book takes readers on a journey through Canada's past and present, highlighting the characteristics that define our country and its relationship with the rest of the world.

"I'm just so proud to have my name on this book," said Douglas. "It's such a high quality book to be launching my career.

"One of the best things that came out of my illustrating the book was my profound appreciation for our incredible country."

Canada: Our Road to Democracy was written by Alister Mathieson and Marianne Ilass and published by Humber Press in June.Douglas said he was asked by Mathieson in 2012 to get involved with the artwork. While the co-author had several clear ideas of what he wanted to depict in the book's 27 illustrations, the pair often worked collaboratively. The result is an extensively researched, colourful, crisp and vibrantly illustrated book that covers the important content in the Ontario social studies teaching curriculum. The book's cover features classic Canadian characters like a moose, beaver, buffalo and Canadian goose, carrying the Union Jack, the Canadian flag and two other flags representing the birth of Canada as a nation.

Originally schooled in classical animation, Douglas said his focus changed to illustration and children's books after he became a father in 2008.

"I was going between creative and artistic jobs and nothing really gelled, but then when my son was born, I knew children's books were going to be my arena," said Douglas.

The Dundas resident who operates Right Side Studios is currently hard at work on the sequel to Canada: Our Road to Democracy entitled Canada: Our Home and Native Land, along with a KickStarter funding platform project with Corey Kennan called Dolly and the Dreadful Words. The funding period expires on Aug. 31.

Have Pediatric Questions? Ask a Pediatrician.
I'm happy that you have asked me to assist you with your child and hope that you can benefit from my many years of helping parents like you.
This is actually not really a pure medical term but rather just a "slang" term for lots of infection related white blood cells, called bands, that are present in the blood count. Unfortunately, lots of doctors use the CBC as some type of gauge of how sick someone is but it is really not very specific for what type of infection and a poor measure of the seriousness of an illness.
Having done this for over 30 years I can tell you that it is still frustrating to me to see doctors use the CBC (complete blood count) as a factor in deciding whether a child is sick enough to need an antibiotic as well as doctors throwing about terms that are confusing to parents and patients. There is no substitute for a good history, physical exam and perhaps a chest xray to determine whether pneumonia is present, and even the chest xray is not really necessary, according to the recent guidelines published by the American Academy of Pediatrics.
If your child has a respiratory infection with fever and evidence of pneumonia or bronchitis on physical exam, then antibiotics might be required, but I assure you that the blood count is not something that points one way or another toward making what is really a clinical decision by the doctor based on a good exam.
Don't worry about the "bandemia" as you'd be hard-pressed to find any scientific evidence in children that it means anything more than what a good clinician already suspects: that your child has an infection and needs an antibiotic. Albuterol is helpful to clear the wheezing in some cases and azithromycin works well for mycoplasma infection, though not particularly well for pneumonia. I suspect she has mycoplasma and will improve with these two medications, regardless of the blood count findings.
I hope this alleviates some of your concern about this but let me know if you have questions.
If you have no questions then I would appreciate it if you would click on the "accept" button so that I can return to the main message board to assist other worried parents. You may return to this conversation later at NO additional charge. Thanks.

Anthony C.wrote a review of Arc'teryx Atom LT Hooded Insulated Jacket - Men's on September 26, 2012
Great jacket!
Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a great jacket! It fits true to the published sizing charts and is very versatile. I loved the first one so much I grabbed a second to bring a little diversity into my wardrobe.
The jacket is equally awesome for a night out in town, under a shell in the mountains or just to kill the chill while making dinner after a long day of hiking.
The only downside is the weight is slightly greater than a down jacket if you are a super minimalist backpacker. It's all about choices and the Atom LT is worth the little extra weight for me.

Prince Harry in Afghanistan: Taliban's Weekend Attack Leaves Harry Unharmed, Kills 2 U.S. Marines (REPORT)
The prince, who turned 28 on Saturday, is safe and unharmed after an overnight attack by the Taliban that killed two U.S. Marines and wounded several others.
According to the Associated Press, the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack that was centered on Camp Bastion, where Harry is stationed. Bastion is adjacent to Camp Leatherneck, where U.S. Marine operations are based.
"We attacked that base because Prince Harry was also on it and so they can know our anger," Qari Yousef Ahmadi, a spokesperson for the Taliban, told the AP in a phone call.
"Thousands more suicide attackers are ready to give up their lives for the sake of the Prophet," he added.
But where exactly was the prince when the overnight attack occurred?
Prince Harry was just two kilometers away from the Taliban attack on the British base, a spokesman for Britain's Ministry of Defense confirmed to the AP.
The International Security Assistance Force added that the attack involved "small arms fire and indirect fire," most likely referring to mortars or rockets.
The prince, who is third in line to the British royal throne, is serving as a co-pilot and gunner for an Apache attack helicopter during his four-month tour in Afghanistan.
"Prince Harry, like any soldier, considers it a great honor to represent his country in her majesty's armed forces wherever it chooses to deploy him," a spokesperson for St. James Palace said last week, when the prince took off for his tour.
This is Harry's second deployment to Afghanistan — he previously served in late 2007 for 10 weeks.

Carnival to benefit girl's cause, raise money for Arthritis Foundation of Pittsburgh
Mariah Aquino-Truss loves to sing and dance, but the normally energetic child could barely walk two years ago.
Mariah, 7, was diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in September 2011, said her mother, Tory Aquino, 33, of Patterson Heights in Beaver County.
Mariah's medical treatment has helped her reclaim a normal childhood, but she still has bouts of pain.
"(I wish I would) feel better, and I won't have it anymore," Mariah said.
To raise awareness and money for the Arthritis Foundation of Pittsburgh, Mariah's family is hosting the second annual Mariah's Movers Carnival on Saturday at Brady's Run Lodge in Beaver Falls.
There will be pony rides, arts and crafts, face-painting, a reptile show and other activities. Businesses and individuals are donating money, services or goods to support the carnival, Aquino said.
Mariah's Carnival is the only local event of its kind, although other families and individuals volunteer to raise money for the foundation, said Allison Brenckle, program director.
Carnival-goers can sign up to join Mariah's Movers, a team that will participate in the 2013 Arthritis Walk on June 1 at SouthSide Works mall.
Last year, Mariah was a walk honoree, and her carnival and walk team raised $3,200 for the foundation, Aquino said.
A 2007 study by the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated that 294,000 children, or 1 in 250, have arthritis or other rheumatologic conditions.
"Our mission is to let people know that children get arthritis, too," Aquino said.
Mariah began to experience pain in her hips in May 2011, but her mother thought it was the result of a fall at a neighbor's home.
Aquino took Mariah to a pediatrician twice, and after an X-ray revealed a 13 percent curvature in Mariah's spine, the doctor referred her to the orthopedic department at Children's Hospital.
Doctors in the rheumatology department at Children's diagnosed her with juvenile arthritis.
"We were lucky that it was arthritis, except for the lifelong sentence," Aquino said.
Mariah's treatment includes weekly medication to reduce inflammation, and a folic acid pill and a series of vitamins daily.
She is most likely to experience pain and swollen fingers and toes in the mornings, Aquino said.
The medical field doesn't know what causes juvenile arthritis, but a combination of genetics and the environment seem most likely, said Sarah Poff, who is Mariah's doctor and a rheumatology fellow at Children's Hospital.
The most common type of childhood arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis involves at least six weeks of persistent arthritis in a child younger than 16, Poff said.
Symptoms include persistent joint swelling, pain and stiffness that is worse in the mornings or after a nap, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Among Pennsylvania's regions, Western Pennsylvania seems to have a high prevalence of the disease, Brenckle said.
About 3,000 children have been diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in the region, or 25 percent of the statewide total. Still, the Western Pennsylvania number may include West Virginia patients who travel to the region because that state doesn't have pediatric rheumatologists, she said.
Today, Mariah is an active child who loves writing and showcasing her musical talents with her best friend and sister, Mauriauna, 8.
"She's the nicest sister on the planet," Mauriauna said.

Teaching a large Russian language vocabulary by the mnemonic keyword method
- Citations
- 135 Downloads
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a mnemonic procedure, called the keyword method, for teaching a large Russian language vocabulary to college students. The method divides the study of a vocabulary item into two stages. The first stage requires the student to associate the spoken Russian word with an English word (the keyword) that sounds like some part of the foreign word; the second stage requires the student to form a mental image of the keyword "interacting" with the English translation. Thus, the keyword method can be described as a chain of two links connecting a foreign word to its English translation through the mediation of a keyword: the foreign word is linked to a keyword by a similarity in sound (acoustic link), and the keyword is linked to the English translation by a mental image (imagery link). A computer controlled curriculum using the keyword method served as a supplement to the second-year Russian language course at Stanford University. Students studied a large basic vocabulary over an 8 to 10-week period. Data obtained during the study and student reports indicate that the keyword method was highly effective.

Hi there,
Simple one (I hope). I have this jquery code:
$('.maps').hover(function() {$(".maps > div").animate({top:'-192px'},200)},
function() {$(".maps > div").animate({top:'2px'},150)});
It's a simple content-hover effect making a div - .maps > div - slide up to show some extra info when hovering over .maps. Since I have three different instances of .maps, when I hover over any of them, I have the .animate effect running in all three of them at the same time. I guessed (this) would sort the thing out, but I don't seem to be able to find the right place, or way to insert it in my code. Any tips?
Thx and kind regards.
I would use this.find("div") to apply the animation to the appropriate div."this" will then reference whichever instance of the ".maps" div you are hovering over and apply the animation effect to all divs contained within it.If you have other divs within your ".maps" div, and you only want to target (for example) the first, you can use :first-child
Here's a quick example:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>jQuery this</title>

.maps{width:200px; padding:10px; background:red; margin-bottom:15px;}
.maps > div{border:1px solid black; margin-bottom:5px}

Inner div

Inner div

Inner div

$(document).ready(function() {
$('.maps').hover(function() {
$(this).find("div:first-child").css("background", "green")
Or you could use .children, which is probably a better idea than .find() anyway because it doesn't travel all the way down and is therefore faster than .find()
Good point. Thanks Rémon.Should spend more time reading the docs :rolleyes:
From: http://api.jquery.com/find/The .find() and .children() methods are similar, except that the latter only travels a single level down the DOM tree.
Hi again,
Thx both for your answers. I actually tried the thing using .find and I didn't make it work. Turns out, or, it seems if you're using .find (or .search for that matter) only one selector cam go within the next () parenthesis.
I mean, this didn't work for me:
$('.maps').hover(function() {$(this).find(".maps div").animate({top:'-192px'},200)},
function() {$(this).find(".maps div").animate({top:'2px'},150)});
and this did work:
$('.maps').hover(function() {$(this).find("div").animate({top:'-192px'},200)},
function() {$(this).find("div").animate({top:'2px'},150)});
Or maybe using .find(".maps div") after selecting .maps was returning some kind of redundant result, and then, not working.Fortunately, in this case there's only one div children of .maps.
Anyway, .children did work as well, so here´s the final code available for future 'investigations':
$('.maps').hover(function() {$(this).children("div").animate({top:'-192px'},200)},
function() {$(this).children("div").animate({top:'2px'},150)})
Again, thx a million for your help.

"Shall we dine?"
"Sure, can we eat first?"
-Love and Death
After a hellaciously busy June (including a business trip to NYC where I met my first honest to goodness poker blogger, the inimitable Hoyazo, who is as Hoyish in person as he is in his blog and-I-mean-that-in-the-GOOD-sense), I think it's time to start writing again.
And ten or twelve people just shrugged and said, 'OK, whatever'.
Back from the vacation, where I managed to righteously whack out my back in the Cedar Point wave pool. Good for me. I now hobble around like a ninety year old, and if it weren't for the double stroller we brought in case our three year olds got tired, worn out, or just plumb tuckered, I wouldn't have even had a walker. Seriously, I look like some malicious kid broke me in two and then glued me back together improperly.
Degrading body foreshadowing incipent middle age tilt is mine.
In poker news, I am card dead and playing like a donkey simultaneously. But! Oh but! The Big Game is coming the Big Game is coming the Big Game the Big Game is coming!
I loves me some Big Game, people. Big prize pool, decent stakes, and most especially, deep stacks. Yes, the deep stacks that let you make a move without crippling yourself. The deep stacks that give you room to maneuver. And . . . hey, Don! What about this? PokerStars does a quarterly $1000 on the Sunday Millions, what about a Biannual Big BIG Game with $150 entry fee and Super Stacks? Does FT's private tourny builder allow it? Count me in if you do it. I will be there fo sho.
If you'll recall (not necessary, actually, I'm about to tell you), I nearly took the Big Game apart when I flopped a set while we were four handed and I was one of the two big stacks. The other big stack was fluxer. Now, fluxer is a man of many abilities. He can arm-rassle any genetic mutant intermingling that Dr. Mureau can concoct (including the beaverpanzee, the chicken-coon, and the voracious ratapus). He can start and continue wildly amusing blogger feuds. He can make cider out of his own pee. He can put his hands in the air. He can wave them in such a way that it would make bystanders believe that he simply does not care. He can recite entire episodes of The A Team by memory. But he can't lay down an up and down straight draw for all his chips. And he got lucky to send me to the rail, where I railed to the poker gods my poor fortune.
So here comes, boys and girls. The end of the BBT. My chance to seal the deal and land in the top 50 and the freeroll. My chance to take down the tournament.
And if you haven't all been thanking Al and Hoy and Mookie and Don for making this awesome, awesome series happen . . . go do so now. Go! Do it! I'll wait to finish my post. Then congratulate Pauly for cashing in the WSOP! Then sign up with Blinders new site! Then go to Chad's site and . . . never mind, he doesn't have time for you, he's final tabling four MTTs right now even as we speak. But go thank the BBT organizers! Go! Go now!
OK, you did it? You're back?
Suckers. I'm done with my post anyway.

Transformation of higher education in South Africa has resulted in an ongoing need to reflect critically on the relevance and responsiveness of higher education curricula. This article describes two inter-related aspects of curriculum mapping, namely the mapping process and the mapping tool. Based on a case study of a career-oriented business qualification, curriculum data such as subject guides are analysed, followed by a discussion on the findings that emanated from this analysis. Using a constructivist framework, the article argues how challenges, such as a lack of staff participation, a teacher-centred technicist approach to curriculum design, as a result of past curriculum development practices at Universities of Technology, can be addressed by using curriculum mapping both as a process and tool for curriculum review. We shall argue in this article that curriculum mapping, both as a process and a tool will encourage higher education lecturers to consider these key issues when designing curricula: • What do we teach? • Why do we teach what we teach? • What do our students learn? • How do our students learn? • How do we assess what students have learned? • How well should students perform in these assessment tasks to show that they have achieved the intended learning outcomes? These questions relate to the three levels of a curriculum, namely the intended (planned), the taught (created) and the learned (experienced). Curriculum mapping in this context is not used as an instrumentalist approach to curriculum review and design, but to illuminate the pedagogical relationships within a curriculum and to engender reflective conversations on how academics approach their curricula.

Everyone needs a bit of help when it comes to looking their best. One of the most effective ways to get your youthful look back or fix up some problem areas in your face is to turn to a cosmetic surgeon for a facelift. If this is something you are considering, then you should do lots of research to find out everything you need to know about this procedure. To make this easier, we have gathered a few important tips you should keep in mind when planning your Denver facelift.
Share all Medical Conditions with Surgeon
This is a vital step in prepping for any surgery, no matter how minor. If you have any type of pre-existing condition, you have to tell your doctor in order to be safe throughout the procedure. Many people choose not to share information because they are afraid they will no longer be a good candidate for a facelift or Botox treatments, but this can be very dangerous for your health. Conditions that require blood thinners are especially important to share with your surgeon.
Do You Need a Full Facelift?
Many times, a complete facelift is not necessary to achieve the results you want. For some people, the reason they look older is that they have wrinkles or bags under their eyes, which can be fixed without requiring such a complex surgery. Sometimes, a mini-facelift is enough, or Botox cab be used to minimize age issues. You should consult with your doctor for the best option before deciding on a full facelift.
Choose a Reputable Surgeon
This is the most important step to achieve the results you want and to have the safest facelift possible. You want a surgeon who has years of experience performing all manner of procedures, including full facelifts. Choose someone who has all the right licenses and insurance in place and who has many regular clients who can vouch for him or her. You want someone with all the skill levels possible to ensure that your surgery goes as planned. Read up on each doctor you are considering to choose the best option.
Listen to Your Surgeon
After you have decided on a particular surgeon, be sure to listen to all the recommendations he or she has to offer. This can include recovery ideas to help speed up the healing process and procedure recommendations that can best suit your personal needs. You have to trust that the surgeon you have chosen has your best interest at heart and that he or she will keep you safe at all times. This also means listening to them if they do not recommend a certain procedure.
It is never an easy decision to get a face lift, and it should not be. This is a complex procedure that requires the best surgeon in order to achieve the results you want. By keeping these tips in mind and by choosing an expert company like Raval MD, you will have a chance of looking years younger while staying safe.

New Hampshire has no touchscreen voting. None.
Every ballot cast in New Hampshire except those few cast by the handicapped is written on a piece of paper. It's redundant to say this after the previous comment about touchscreen voting, but let's make it clear: in New Hampshire there is a paper trail.
The Diebold Accuvote-TS has been shown to be a piece of crap. The Diebold Accuvote-OS, the machine used in New Hampshire, has much of the same hardware and runs much of the same tabulation software, so these machines could conceivably be hacked. However, the incentive for hacking them is not very great, because unlike with the paperless voting, again, there's the paper trail. So if there were ever a recount—and there was after the 2004 election, when a survey of New Hampshire voting districts chosen by the Nader campaign showed there was virtually no difference between the scanned tabulation and the hand recount—the malfeasance would be easily discovered

What originally drew me to this image was the details: the bright orange barrier in the foreground, the shapes of the backboards, the subtle color in the trees. But working on the painting I realized that these weren't what the picture was about. What makes it compelling is the dark trees against the brighter sky, and the long repeated horizontals of grass, pavement, grass, trees. I may add some of the details back in the next layer, but to capture the atmosphere I had to let them go.
I feel a little nervous posting the next version of the big painting because its at one of those awkward stages where the parts don't fit together yet. I'd been dreading adding the cars. Cars are always tricky for me because—like faces— their shapes are so distinctive that we pick up right away if they are a little off. Also I find cars to be generally pretty ugly. But the river of cars is the subject of this picture, so there was no avoiding it.
Overall I think they went in okay. I tried to simplify them to a few basic geometric strokes, to keep the looseness of the rest of the painting, but still read as cars. They look pretty drab here because they aren't wearing their lights yet. Also, you can see that all the depth and color relationships are off, with the orange cones and red scaffolding popping out and the focus of the painting— the ramps onto the bridge— still barely sketched in. But I think it was good to put that red in because now I know what the rest of the painting has to fight against. If at the end the red can be that bright but not pull your attention to it then I will have succeeded.
Obviously I still have a long way to go.

My Memory - Poem by Ralph Acosta
Her brown & black, brown & black eyes,
Are just a memory.
One in which is trapped
In the deep depths of my mind.
I want to let go
Then I come close
But I see
The memory...
The song on the radio...
The pictures in the box...
The words she spoke...
The sound of her voice...
... All part of the memory.
I want to let go
just as I come close
I see as clear as day
The memory...
Of the smiles and the laughs...
Of the happiness and joy...
Of the sunshine and the stars...
Of our love and the untouched kisses...
All part of the memory
I want to let go
Even though I come close
I still remember
The memory...
The first 'Hello'
Our first date
Love's first kiss
I thought we had years
But now I know
It was all a lie, a joke,
A meaningless experiment.
Now here I lay
Awake in the night
Wondering when the
Pain and suffering of heartache
Will come to an end.
I want to let go
Oh, so close
Although so far
Why can't I forget
The memory...
The memory...
The memory...
The memory...
I want to forget...
that memory.
I want to let go...
Of that memory.
My Memory.

He was due to meet the troops and their family in Alaska on December 10 but he had fever and was throwing up.
Nelly came under fire when he canceled a meet and greet with the troops at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska on Saturday, December 10. The rapper had to back out of the event because he was too sick after his Friday show.
A lot of his fans were disappointed of his no-show with one posting a photo on Facebook of the troops sitting and waiting for him. The caption says, "A few of the hundred, or so, military and their spouses (some who have their significant other deployed) on Joint Base Elmendorf Richardson in Alaska, that you stood up. Not cool!!!"
One of the soldiers tweeted, "how about the fact that @Nelly_Mo never showed up to the meet and greet today on base...how about that for supporting the troops!" and Nelly replied to him, "maybe bcuzz my temp said 102 n I threw up everything I ate for the past week!I'm sorry I luv n will always support!!salute." The soldier then wished him well, revealing that they were never informed about his reason to bail.
Nelly further apologized via Twitter, "I apologize 2all the troops and fam 2day n anchorage!been fighting off flu 4fewdays n it caught up2me!after my show sweating n going out!"

AN INQUEST into the death of a Honda test driver who was killed while trialling a new car at a leading proving ground is expected to take place this year.
David Allan, 47, from North Swindon, was killed and four passengers were injured in the accident in July at the Millbrook proving ground near Marston Moretaine in Bedfordshire.
The experienced touring car competitor was testing Honda's new CR-V.
The car was cleared of any fault after rigorous tests were carried out following the incident.
Bedfordshire Police, who were leading the investigation, have passed the inquiry over to the Health and Safety Executive, which is putting together a report.
A spokeswoman for Bedfordshire and Luton coroner's office said once the HSE's report had been received the inquest would be scheduled for this year.
A spokesman for the HSE said: "Our investigations are continuing.
"As a matter of standard procedure we will submit our report to the coroner and then it will be up to the coroner to consider the findings along with any other evidence."
The leading European ground has been used for TV shows including Top Gear, Fifth Gear and the James Bond film Casino Royale.
Collision investigation officers from the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Roads Policing Unit initially carried out a forensic investigation at the scene, assisted by the HSE.
Mr Allan was part of a Honda team which competed in the British Touring Car Championship in 2002.
He drove the Production Class Honda Civic Type R.
He had been driving on a hill course described as being similar to the Swiss mountains.
The track consists of camber bends, brows and dips designed to test both the car and driver.
The course is described by Millbrook as being "an invaluable experience in itself for any driver who loves the open road".
Mr Allan would have been well equipped to have handled the testing circuit.
He was part of Honda's Synchro Motorsport team, formed in 1994 for employees to develop their technical skills.
Mr Allan had worked at UK Manufacturing Ltd for more than 26 years and was one of the original employees of the company.

Though hitting a good pressure point can improve your body's natural energy flow, hitting the perfect one can cause your mouth to spurt tickets redeemable for prizes. Hit the jackpot with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $75 for two acupressure and reflexology treatments (a $220 value)
- $39 for one acupressure and reflexology treatment (a $110 value)

Targeting the same parts of the body as an acupuncture treatment, acupressure bodywork helps promote relaxation and decrease aches, tension, and bodily toxins using gentle, yet firm pressure delivered by hand. Reflexology, meanwhile, is believed to help spur the body's natural healing mechanisms with pressure applied to specific zones of the hands and feet.

Instead of relying on a few professionals to oversee a large number of cases, Dr. Victoria Goldsten distributes responsibility among a large team of specialists. When clients need help losing weight, Dr. Goldsten pairs them with a nutritional consultant or body-wrap technician. Those seeking an energy-based approach to healing can meet with a doctor of naturopathology, an acupuncturist, or a reiki healer. The diverse team of specialists is bound together by the eclectic experience of Dr. Goldsten, whose title bears more acronyms than a government phone directory.

A mere three months ago, I was actually excited about mini-notebooks. I thought they were wonderful: a complete rejection by the laptop industry that a small, light weight yet still capable laptop should be priced, ounce-for-ounce, alongside Gallium. Now? I could basically write a post about any one of them entirely in TextExpander scripts.
In theory, I'm still interested in mini-notebooks: I desperately want one, I think they're neat. But as every Asus imitator spills their sloppy second Eee-clones to market, mini-notebooks have just become indistinguishable from one another... for a period of a month, one mini-notebook rules them all, and then it's quickly swept aside by a superior model with marginally better specs. Right now that's the Wind.
Plunging my eyes deep into my puckered blogging omphalos, what's distressing as a writer as that at one point I was really passionate about mini-notebooks. Now I don't care: there's a million competing products, all doppelgangerous, and there's just nothing left to say except to repeat the specs and the price. How many times can you make the same points? Mini-notebooks are great in theory, but they all look the same, the battery life is still abysmal, and as cheap as they are, they are more expensive than they should be.
About the only mini-notebook I'm still excited about is the Dell E. Although the name is a testament to Dell's own bereft imagination, the design eschews the plasticky opalescence of the Eee / Wind school of mini-notebook design for bright colors and sleekness. But it looks like Dell's finally going to deliver on the price: according to the Digitimes, when the E is released in August, it'll cost a paltry $299. Dell is effectively delivering on Asus' own broken pricing promises.
It's looking pretty clear that this month's Wind excitement is going to be trumped by the E's release next month. But I think that's the cycle we're going to see — flavor of the month mini-notebooks. That's not surprising, although it is depressing to watch the new mini-note market go from exciting to mundane within a couple months... the same path as cell phones and digicams traveled before it.
Dell said to be planning launch of low-cost notebook in August [Digitimes]

A Reporter's Crash Course in Mutual-Fund Investing
Thrust Into the Funds Beat During the '87 Crash, He Saw Good, Bad and Ugly
There is nothing like learning under fire, in mutual-fund investing and journalism.
In 1987, as a young reporter at The Wall Street Journal, I was thrown in cold to the paper's fledgling mutual-fund beat.
Journal Report
- Insights from The Experts

More in Investing in Funds & ETFs
It wasn't the most auspicious beginning: My first fund article was co-written with a colleague on Oct. 19—Black Monday, the stock-market crash. Stocks plunged 22.6%, still the steepest one-day percentage drop on record. "Shellshocked" and "blown away" investors panicked in "battered" markets, we wrote, selling stock funds in what was called "a massive flight" to safer money-market instruments.
It was a profound lesson, both in terms of what constitutes smart investing, as well as the need to avoid too many breathless quotes.
Specifically, watching the stock market recover—the Dow Jones Industrial Average now is almost 10 times as high as the close on Oct. 19, 1987—taught me the importance of keeping cool in a crisis and heeding the wisdom of billionaire investor Warren Buffett : "Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful."
Such lessons flew in faster than high-frequency trades while I was on the beat. I became obsessed with fees, conflicts of interest, investing psychology and how fund managers practice their craft. Now, more than a quarter-century after my crash course in fund investing, I wish more investors would heed the lessons I got to see up close.
Costs Matter: It was striking how little some investors knew about fund charges, and how those fees could be hidden. A front-page article I wrote in 1989, "Locked In," revealed how investors were misled about having to pay fat "exit fees" if they sold out of their funds too soon. A Shearson Lehman broker conceded he was a "wimp" for not telling a retired teacher about the fee. A top regulatory official said she was "shocked." Regulators later warned the industry that it risked disciplinary action for misrepresenting such fees.
It quickly became clear, though, that hidden fees weren't the only ones fund investors needed to fear. A number of our articles after the stock-market crash noted how steep fund charges—including management fees, marketing charges and back-end loads—were insidious to investors in an era of more modest returns.
Follow the Money: Investors weren't always wise to the conflicts of interest in the mutual-fund industry. One of the favorite pieces of anonymous mail I received was a Dean Witter Reynolds memo in 1991 telling branch managers to push more of the brokerage firm's in-house funds, chiding them for selling too many competing funds that produced less profit for the firm. The decree, which I subsequently wrote about, reminded mutual-fund specialist Michael Lipper of a quote attributed to Henry Ford about selling Model T's: "You could have any color—as long as it was black." The problem with offering clients only the Dean Witter funds: They were lemons.
Paralysis Can Be Perilous: I also learned, misquoting Yogi Berra, that 90% of the mutual-fund game was half-mental. Another front-page article I wrote with a colleague, "Buy and Fold," in 1997 showed how inertia can kill. It focused on how investors hung on, year after year, in the horribly performing Steadman mutual funds. When a math instructor was asked why he stuck with the funds for 43 years, he said: " 'Cause I'm so stupid." Every time he considered selling he thought: "Oh, I think it's going up a bit."
But it can be easier to preach than practice. In early 2008, my wife, Lisa, and I discussed scaling back the risks in our 401(k). In the depths of the financial crisis later that year, she said it sure was good we did that.
Well, it might have been. Except that I never quite got around to it. Inertia? Or was I cool in a crisis? Either way, I regretted my inattention and got religion. I now regularly track our retirement returns in an Excel spreadsheet—whether I'm busy or on the beach. I don't trade frequently or look to time markets, but I adjust my fund mix to keep my allocation in line. Even alleged experts need a nudge.
Keep It Simple: Maybe I should have invested earlier in index funds. "The Match Game," a 1997 article I wrote with a colleague, described how Vanguard Group's George "Gus" Sauter maneuvered his giant fund to match the stock market's returns. Many investors weren't impressed. When Mr. Sauter pitched in to answer Vanguard's phones one day, an investor—who thought he was talking to a phone representative—told him: "Listen, you and I both know a monkey could run an index fund." We wrote: "It isn't monkeys that index managers resemble nowadays. It's gorillas."
Now, more than two-thirds of our retirement nest egg sits in index funds—well, 69.9%, but who's counting? Like many others, I found that an index fund can be a low-cost way to capture a wide cross-section of the market, while avoiding a disastrous bet or losing streak by an active mutual-fund manager.
Invest for the Long Run: Top stock pickers were fun to watch, too. As skipper of Fidelity Investments' Magellan Fund, Peter Lynch urged against trying to time markets or forecast the economy. Economists have "predicted nine of the past four recessions," he'd say. Rather, he'd buy what he understood, hold on for the long haul and look for "tenbaggers," or stocks he believed could appreciate to 10 times what he paid.
He also knew when to exit, pulling a Joe DiMaggio and quitting near the top of his game, at age 46.
Eventually I left my gig, too. Another trial by fire. As I began the Wall Street beat in February 1990, securities firm Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc. was hurtling toward bankruptcy. The junk-bond market tanked.
Lots of fund investors bailed out in a panic then, too. If they had heeded Mr. Buffett's advice—greed can be good when others are fearful—they'd probably be better off today.

Fortean TV was a British paranormal documentary television series that originally aired from 29 January 1997 to 6 March 1998 on Channel 4. Produced by Rapido TV, the program features anomalous phenomena and the paranormal. It was based upon the Fortean Times magazine and was presented by Reverend Lionel Fanthorpe. Fortean TV ran for 3 series (the third was an adult version renamed Fortean TV Uncut with unseen material from the previous two series as well as new items). The three seasons comprised: 22 half-hour episodes (the last of the first season was a compilation "Best Of"), plus a final hour-long family Christmas special.[1][2]

The achievements of the finest opinion-formers Fleet Street has to offer across its various web and print outlets are set to be celebrated with the launch of the Comment Awards, from media analysis and networking company Editorial Intelligence.
The best commentators, bloggers and editors will be marked across 12 categories at this year's inaugural ceremony.
Categories include best political, financial, environment, culture and media commentator; best comment pages, diary comment page, newspaper blog, non-newspaper blog, magazine commentator and polemicist of the year.
A commentariat of the year prize will also recognise the leader writer, columnist or guest columnist who has produced consistently compelling articles in newspapers, magazines, or online.
Editorial Intelligence is encouraging nominations through its Comment Awards website.
The shortlisted candidates in each category will be unveiled in September, with winners announced at a champagne breakfast, hosted by commentator and broadcaster Peter York, on 13 October.
Sir Christopher Meyer, a former chairman of the Press Complaints Commission, will chair the judging panel.
Who would you nominate?

While Ender's Game features a wide cast of known child actors including Asa Butterfield (Ender), Abigail Breslin (Valentine), and Hailee Steinfeld (Petra), one of the most important of those characters is Bean, who will be played by 12 year-old Aramis Knight.
Knight first began acting when he was six years old, when he had a small part in the pilot episode of ABC's alien drama series Invasion in 2005. Since then, he's done a lot of acting in television, appearing in shows such as NCIS, Ghost Whisperer, Dexter, and even an episode of LOST as Sam, Sayid's nephew. (video below)
Interestingly enough, Knight has already worked with mega star Harrison Ford, who is set to play Colonel Graff, the leader of the Battle School, in the movie Crossing Over.
With such a lengthy resume behind him, he seems to be big enough to fill the shoes of little genius Bean. He's described as being 4'10", which doesn't really lend much to the fact that he's supposed to be extremely small (thus the name "Bean"), but a lot could be done to make him look smaller on screen. Does he look like the Bean you've imagined?

Is this really too much to ask?
NOTE: Boston Common is no longer being updated. For the latest Boston-area blog posts, please see Universal Hub
The Globe today reports that Deval Patrick is thinking of running for governor.
As with their extensive coverage of Boston City Council candidate Sam Yoon, however, the Globe never asks (or reports) why.
Grr! It's such a simple question: "Why do you want to be governor/city councillor/dog catcher?" Why can't the Globe reporters get their noses out of their inside-baseball asses for a moment (Oooh, "he could be Barack Obama of Massachusetts", they quote one insider - who happens to be the guy's advisor, yeah, real objective analysis there) and give us answers to the Five W's first?
Previous: A flight with John Kerry
Next: Snitchin' on Stop Snitchin'
J. R. Pascucci says (on January 17, 2005 06:13 PM):
It turns out there is a reason they don't do this. It has to do with the undercurrent of deconstruction in leftist education, combined with the reinforcement of moral and intellectual relativism.
The answer to 'why' requires (and implies there is) a meaningful response. In the context of deconstruction, communication is not and never can be used to convey meaning - it is used for pretext and to convey a subtext.
Combined this with the power dialectic, which says that all communication is an extension of an 'in-power' group oppressing an 'out-of-power' group, and you have the entire range of leftist approbation and criticism.
So, it is a sufficient argument in favor of a candidate to show that he is a 'good guy', not one of the 'powerful elite', so whatever he says is deemed trustworthy.
On the flip side it is a sufficient argument that the opponent is a 'bad guy', who has 'special interests', to counter a person's arguments by publishing opinions that undercut his motivations and call him 'dumb', 'evil', 'incompetent', so that one _never_ has to confront an actual argument with another argument - disapprobation is sufficient. The term for this is "Poisoning the well": this pattern is played out in the media constantly. Watch for it. And reject it. The best arguments for 'classical liberalism' (that which conservatives conserve) _never_ make it into the MSM.
Like mother's milk to a baby, these arguments will always make it into the liberal media stream, because, to someone who recognizes no 'truth' in an absolutist sense, this is the only thing that remains. Anything that resembles truth that you don't agree with is only a pretext for something "evil": it must be, since "there is no truth", and "everything is relative".
Look for it - it's there. It's why editors can always feel comfortable tanking a well-reasoned argument against the position they themselves take - it doesn't occur to them to do otherwise, they dismiss it out of hand. It's not usually _overt_ manipulation of the media, but that's why it is called a 'media bias' instead of a 'media conspiracy'.
adamg says (on January 17, 2005 06:56 PM):
Interesting argument, but I'm thinking the cadres at the Globe don't spend their time debating Derrida. As a one-time reporter myself, I'm thinking that when somebody covers the same field for awhile, they get to thinking too much like the people they cover (sort of like the Stockholm Syndrom) and forget that most of us still want to know the "why" of something.
jomy says (on January 22, 2005 10:57 PM):
Does it make any difference?
Deval Patrick has as much chance of getting elected governor as this snow has of being around for Memorial Day.
Sheesh, the guy thinks he's so special that he can't run for AG first?
Yoon, I don't know, he has a chance, but it's an uphill climb. The Globe can't help him that much, may hurt.

|Super Knuckles
First Seen: Sonic & Knuckles (1994)
Knuckles has the ability to power up using the Chaos Emeralds. When he does this, he becomes Super Knuckles. Like Super Sonic, Knuckles' super transformation confers the traditional effects of a Super State which include higher speed and invincibility. Character specific traits include improved gliding and climbing. His only cosmetic change is the addition of a semi transparent fuchsia aura, which is represented in gameplay by a soft glow. It has been seen in Sonic & Knuckles and in Knuckles in Sonic 2.
Along with Tails, Knuckles was given a Super State in Sonic Heroes, thanks to Chaos Energy from Super Sonic during the last boss, Metal Overlord. While the only physical change was a golden spherical aura (similar to Super Sonic's in Sonic Adventure), Knuckles received all of the modern abilities of a super transformation. These include the ability to fly as well as the inability to brake. Additionally, Knuckles received a powerful attack where he could create explosions by simply punching and the ability to use an attack similar to his "Maximum Heat Knuckles Attack" in Sonic Adventure. This state didn't take on the original appearance of Super Knuckles and because of it, there is some doubt that it is a Super State at all.
In the Archie-published Sonic the Hedgehog comics, Knuckles can use 7 Chaos Emeralds or the Master Emerald to turn into "Hyper Knuckles" - whereas in the games, Hyper forms can only be accessed via the Super Emeralds. In this state, Knuckles's fur turns pink, and his eyes turn red. Knuckles was also able to turn into a green-colored Chaos Knuckles. This was Knuckles' most powerful form, but he lost this power when he came back from death. In this form, Knuckles was the most powerful chaos entity on Mobius at the time.
In Sonic the Hedgehog issue 141, "Hyper Knuckles" was misprinted as "Super Knuckles".

POLICE have issued safety advice in a bid to prevent crimes this summer.
Dorset Police says burglaries tend to increase in the summer months and the force is hoping the public will play an 'active part' in helping reduce intrusive crimes.
Safety measures members of the public should adopt are keeping windows and doors closed when you leave the house.
Residents should consider additional security when going away on holiday such as informing family or neighbours to check on the property and removing giveaway signs of the house being empty holiday such as piles of letters. Householders should ensure any alarms or CCTV installed works correctly and place high-value items out of view.
Dorset Police are also advising caravan and motor home owners to conceal electrical leads when charging units as it indicates to burglars an imminent holiday.

Going to the video store is, after all, a hands-on experience. For those whose memories extend back before the era of Netflix, the sheer kinesthetic involvement of renting a movie requires a certain level of commitment. Not just to movies, or even to the customer-service interaction, but to a dying medium.
Videoscope, located at 2290 W. El Camino Real, is the latest victim, following in the footsteps of video rental franchises Blockbuster and Hollywood Video. While outliving local competitors, years of steadily decreasing revenues followed by a proposed rent increase have convinced owners Nona and Odon Sy to shut down operations at the end of this month.
The closing is tentatively set for June 22.
This news came as a huge blow to the store's fiercely loyal customer base. "Technology has killed another time-honored institution," says longtime customer Kathy Graham.
Graham first visited the store in 1982, the year of Videoscope's inception, at its original Palo Alto location. Nona Sy was a Filipino emigre with a collection of 50 horror films on VHS, years before cassettes had fully reached American homes.
"I told my husband, 'Why don't we open a store and make them available to all people?'" Sy said. "We bought everything over the years. We own every one of these tapes."
The store moved to Los Altos in 1996 and to Mountain View in 2002. As the collection of titles expanded to the thousands, operations within the store grew to include Sy's husband, Odon, who had been let go from his job as an engineer. For the next three decades, the couple set about spreading the joy of cinema in the form of VHS, LaserDisc, and DVD rentals.
"Those were very good years," Odon says. "Fantastic years."
It was not built to last, according to Odon. Although the business achieved local notoriety for its extensive LaserDisc collection, the large, record-shape disc never really replaced the success of the VHS. When the smaller, higher-resolution DVD was introduced, Odon says, "The studios loved it."
Immediately, the LaserDisc was killed, a decision that had two consequences. First, it set a precedent by which a cinematic medium can be swiftly eliminated. Second, the DVD was digital, meaning it can be copied illegally.
"Everything is copied, uploaded, downloaded," Odon says. "Studios are financially strapped right now; budgets are getting smaller and smaller, and it's hitting everybody."
Streaming video offered a financial solution for the industry. Hollywood effectively eliminates the middleman while regaining control over how, and to whom, movies are distributed.
"Many of our customers want us to try our best to continue, to keep on going," Odon says. "We are closing because we cannot fight it."
Now, the family is selling off its personal collection of films, which has since grown to 20,000 VHS, 20,000 DVDs, and 10,000 LaserDiscs. Customers new and old have been trickling in, either to explore it for the first time, or to have last conversations with their friends behind the counter.
"There's nothing left like this," a customer says, walking out of the store. "Now, it's just houses."
"We just feel like we are lucky," Nona says. "We were there when it was a novelty, and we lasted this long. It's sad, but it's time to say goodbye."
"I cannot retire," Odon says. "I'll be looking for things. I still don't know what's out there."

If I were the stalker type, I might steal Ben Taylor's underwear out of his gym bag in the locker room. I'd scurry home to press his sweaty briefs against my nose, breathing in his musk while dreaming of the cock that made that bulging impression. If I were the stalker type, I might leave a note in Ben's gym bag: Come and ram your dick down my throat and you can have your underwear back. But I'm not the stalker type. Well, not any more.
Ben Taylor gets me firing hard. I like furry legs and bare feet, uncut cocks, sexy lips, and guys who aren't afraid to play with their butt holes on camera. And this You Love Jack jack-off session has 'em all. I can't imagine anything hotter than kneeling in front of that sofa, rubbing Ben's hairy thighs while he thumbs his stick dick towards my open mouth.
Ben lies on his side and shoves that butt plug in his ass. After he's had some bum fun, he kneels and hangs off the back of the couch and aims his stuffed hole at the camera. He pulls the plug out of his ass and the cocky little bastard pulls his furry butt cheeks until his hole gapes. Then he squeezes and loosens his muscles winking his hole at us. Tease! If you don't blow your wad when you see that, you're a better man than me.

Cute Stripey Sailor Girl Stockings
Reviewed: 02 February 2017 by Droogster, a Straight Single Male
I ordered these for my GF to wear with a blue and white sailor girl frilly tutu skirt.
They went together well and it was a very sexy combo. ;)
The stockings themselves are nice, and this what I like, as you can feel the legs in them, which I like.
All in all, a great buy if you like the sailorgirl look.
- Pros
- Cute and sexy.
- Cons
- A little bit pricey for what they are.
- Bottom line

These nautical little pull ups are really funky.
Great for adding that extra little rockabilly-esque to an everyday outfit, but also perfect to complete a naughty bedroom sailor costume.
I bought mine for a fancy dress party, and they looked gorgeous with the stunning red heels and cute navy dress that I wore, plus they come up to just the right height to show off my leg tattoo!
They're so comfortable, and the durability of them due to the tough material they are made out of means no ladders! Yay.
A really decent price for something that can really make an outfit. A definite stable piece of clothing that everyone needs!
- Pros
- The fact that by just by adding them you look better immediately!
- Cons
- Nothing - I love them!
- Bottom line
- A staple saucy sailor must have!

I love the design on these! So I just had to get them. :)
The material is thin, but that's something I like about them. I've found with thicker tights the elastic at the top squeezes me and my upper thigh fat gets pushed over the top (no one likes muffin tops on their legs).
These don't try to force your body into a shape they're not. Instead they gently slide over your natural shape. They're comfortable with no pinching or tightness.
I've now had these a while and no ladders or pulled threads yet!
- Pros
- The design and material.
- Cons
- If you've got thicker legs than the model, then they don't come up as high.
- Bottom line
- The best tights for a sexy sailor outfit!

Advocacy groups are questioning tactics used by federal immigration officials who conducted raids on Central American families in Georgia earlier this month.
Federal immigration agents used aggressive tactics and didn't show copies of warrants when entering people's homes, according to findings in a new report released Thursday by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights.
"Based on our interviews and analysis of the raids, we've actually concluded that ICE's conduct during the raids raise several potential constitutional concerns," said Eunice Cho, staff attorney with the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Starting Jan. 2, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials detained 121 people from Georgia, North Carolina and Texas. Many were Central American families who recently crossed the U.S. border illegally and had final removal orders, federal officials said.
"While ICE has not been given the opportunity to review the report, the agency is committed to enforcing our nation's immigration laws effectively and sensibly in line with its stated values," said Bryan Cox, ICE spokesman, in a statement.
"ICE conducts targeted enforcement actions in full accordance with federal law and agency policy," he said. The agency also said warrants are only issued in criminal cases.
The civil rights groups' report said that women who were detained said they were not allowed to contact their lawyers until after they were removed to a family detention center in Texas. Federal officials also didn't tell the women about a free, nonprofit legal organization at the detention center, the report said.
ICE said detainees who want to have legal representation are allowed to do so, and that the agency doesn't restrict detainees' access to counsel.
Several of the women were under an order of supervision from immigration court and had ankle-monitors that provided Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with their location information, Cho said.
Digna Urias, a mother of a woman who was detained, said officers came to her daughter's home early in the morning.
Speaking through an interpreter, she said ICE agents told her daughter there was a problem with her daughter's ankle monitor. When her daughter opened the door to the agents, that's when officers told her that she and her children were being taken, Urias said.
"Our family is devastated," Urias said. "This situation has affected us so much; it's not fair that they can treat us like this."
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson defended the operation earlier this month.
"I know there are many who loudly condemn our enforcement efforts as far too harsh, while there will be others who say these actions don't go far enough," he said in a Jan. 4 statement. "I also recognize the reality of the pain that deportations do in fact cause. But, we must enforce the law consistent with our priorities."
