Mr. HELLER. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, there has not been a budget passed in the Senate and the House in over 3 years. I would argue that the exercise we have ending tomorrow will have no substantial difference. I do not think there is anyone in America who believes we will have a budget at the end of tomorrow. The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 requires Congress to pass a budget by April 15. So with that, I ask unanimous consent that the request of the leader be modified so that S. 1981, the No Budget, No Pay Act, be automatically discharged from the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, the bill be immediately placed on the calendar, and that when the Senate proceeds to the budget votes mentioned in the Senator's request, the Senate also vote on the motion to proceed to S. 1981 under the same terms and conditions of the other budget votes.

ANNA Meares continued her outstanding run of form on the final day of the track world cup last night, claiming her second gold medal for the meeting and falling just short of a personal best in the 500-metre time trial with a 33.593-second ride.
While the discipline is no longer part of the Olympic program, Meares is a former world record holder in the event and reclaimed her crown over the distance at this year's world championships. She won her second 500-metre time trial Commonwealth Games gold medal in India two months ago and remains intent on becoming the first woman to complete it in under 33 seconds.
Last night, in the 10th and final heat, Meares was set the task of topping France's Sandie Clair who posted 33.667 seconds in the previous race. Down on her usual pace after the first lap, Meares looked like she might have to settle for silver, but she managed to gain time in the last 150 metres.
''You don't really know that you're down until you get off the bike and people say, 'Oooh, that was close','' the 27-year-old Queenslander said afterwards.
''The lactic acid build-up makes you feel like your legs have blown up to twice the size and trying to make legs move that feel like that is very difficult. But I just pulled a bit harder on the bars and rolled the hips a little bit to try to help push the legs down and I got there in the end.
''I rode a 33.7 in Delhi and Sandie eclipsed that by the time she'd ridden, so I knew I had to fight for that one and I did.''
Meares set her personal best time at the opening round of the UCI track world cup in Melbourne this time last year, when she stopped the clock at 33.583 seconds.
World record-holder Simona Krupeckaite set the benchmark of 33.296 seconds in Poland at the 2009 world titles and Meares lamented the Lithuanian's absence.
''With it being dropped from the program, a lot of women have dropped it from their gaze of importance and no longer focus on getting that event perfect. You see Simona Krupeckaite is not even competing, she doesn't even prepare for this event any more,'' she said.
''That in itself is disappointing, but I understand the logic behind it.''
It was a busy night for the Australian, who was also contesting the keirin, and she said her win in the sprint had taken its toll.
''I woke up this morning, I felt like I'd been hit by a bus, my body was aching from pushing myself to limits I'd never reached before,'' she said.

Chemical Evolution of Intercumulus Liquid as Recorded in Plagioclase Overgrowth Rims from the Bald Eagle Intrusion, Northeast Minnesota
The Bald Eagle Intrusion in Northeast Minnesota is currently the subject of a copper-nickel-platinum group element sulfide exploration program by Duluth Metals, LLC. However, due to poor surface exposure, the geometry and magmatic evolution of this body are still poorly understood. This study attempts to understand the evolution of the magma chamber, particularly the final stages of crystallization, by investigating compositional zoning in plagioclase overgrowth rims. An understanding of the magmatic evolution of this body will aid exploration geologists in constraining the development of sulfide mineralization.

Confamilial Predation on Naticid Gastropds through a Pulsed Extinction in the Plio-Pleistocene of the Carolinas
During the Plio-Pleistocene, a two-pulsed extinction occured among western Atlantic mollusks. Although taxonomic turnover related to the extinctions has been explored, accompanying ecological effects have remained largely unstudied. This study examines the effects of the turnover episodes on confamilial predation in shell-drilling naticid gastropods, an easily quantified predator-prey interation that is well preserved in the fossil record. Unstandardized drilling frequency rankings of alternative prey for two localities from each lithological unit show an abundance of alternative prey pre- and post-extinction. These rankings were size standardized used geometric mean to account for frequency on alternative prey genera remained higher than on naticid genera at five of six naticids was not caused by a decrease in alternative prey, but instead reflects a lower risk environment.

Investigating Soil Mineralogic Controls of Las Vegas Buckwheat, Mojave Desert, USA
The Las Vegas Buckwheat is a threatened plant species from the Mojave Desert in the southwestern USA. Although much of the desert appears to be viable buckwheat habitat, the plant has been found only in certain areas. Soil samples from both inside and outside buckwheat habitat were analyzed to investigate two possible controls on buckwheat growth. Phyllosilicate mineralogy was examined using x-ray diffraction and plant-available iron was investigated using x-ray fluorescence spectrometry. While neither phyllosilicate mineralogy nor iron content appears to be the sole deciding factor, both may have roles to play in the complex problem of buckwheat habitat viability.

Exceptional Record of Lungfish Burrows from the Upper Cretaceous Maevarano Formation, Mahajanga Basin, Northwester Madagascar
A large assemblage of lungfish aestivation burrows is documented from the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Maevarano Formation of northwestern Madagascar. These burrows demonstrate that lungfish were present in the Maevarano paleofauna, and they are the first lungfish aestivation burrows described from the rock record of Gondwana. Over 100 large-diameter burrows penetrate a pervasively cross-stratified fluvial sandstone body intercalated near the top of the Masorobe Member. Burrows cut through and deform surrounding foreset laminae, and in map view, the burrows exhibit three distinctive morphologies: circular, elliptical, and figure eight shaped. These three map view cross-sections are identical matches with the modern burrow morphology of the African lungfish Protopterus when its burrow is exhumed along its full vertical expanse. Combined, these cross-section views provide unequivocal indication of lungfish aestivation, and they are supplemented by several additional key characteristics, including spatial clustering (reflecting gregarious behavior), fin traces, and oxidized burrow margins. The localized occurrence of 100+ lungfish aestivation burrows is consistent with previous reconstructions that posit a markedly seasonal dryland paleoenvironment for the Maevarano Formation.

Glacial History of the Upper Esopus Drainage Basin, Catskill Mountains, New York
New York City drinking water is partially sourced through the Ashokan Reservoir located in the Upper Esopus drainage basin in the south-central Catskill Mountains, NY. Fine sediment sources such as varved lacustrine clays and clay-rich tills are contributing to the suspended sediment load of the watershed, one of the main components in diminishing water quality. Students of the 2011 SUNY New Paltz REU program, in collaboration with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, conducted field sampling and mapping as a means of estimating the extent of the fine sediment sources. GIS was utilized to model Pleistocene behavior. Modeled glacial lacustrine extents were field checked to assess model predictions. At some sites, a red diamict facies consisting of a compact clay-rich matrix and small pebbles overlies the lacustrine deposits. Where observed, the contact shows extensive deformation that includes folded lake clays and silts with thrust faults. This facies is interpreted as the basal facies of the overlying red till on valley floors. The red till records an ice advance across valley floors covered with lake deposits. A clay mineralogy analysis showed illite and chlorite present in all samples with the relative abundance of the two matching for the upper till, diamict, and lacustrine units and varying for the lower till unit, supporting the hypothesis of glaciers overriding pre-existing lakes.

RECIPES: Recipe Details
Holy Mole Chicken Posole Burgers
I love to create interesting recipes based on things I have eaten or seen. Sometimes, something just strikes my fancy and it takes off from there. Although I love almost any ethnic food, my most favorite has to be Mexican. I absolutely love chicken mole [mole is the Mexican word for sauce], which is chicken slowly simmered in a complex, spicy sauce. True mole is time-consuming to make; thankfully, convenient-to-use prepared mole paste is available. During the winter months, I love posole, which is a hominy stew. It is nice to have a version to eat during warmer months. Like barbecue and chili, there are any number of variations of these great Mexican recipes. This one is just one more variation on a theme.
1/2 small white onion, roughly chopped
1 garlic clove, smashed
1/2 cup canned kidney beans, rinsed and drained well
1/2 cup canned hominy, rinsed and drained well [white or yellow]
1/4 cup shredded carrot
1 to 2 Tbsp minced chopped jalapeño [to taste and heat level]
1 small tomato, finely diced
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Juice of half of 1 lime
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1 Tbsp smooth peanut butter
3 Tbsp [from 8.25-oz. jar] prepared mole [I prefer Rogelio Bueno, but any brand may be used]
Juice of 1 lime
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1 teaspoon salt
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
3 lbs. fresh ground chicken [mix of breast and thigh meat]
1/2 cup queso cotija or queso fresco [Mexican cheeses]
3/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lime
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
6 teaspoons butter, room temperature
6 potato hamburger buns
6 crisp butter or leaf lettuce leaves
1 to 2 avocados, thinly sliced
In bowl of food processor, place onion, garlic, kidney beans, hominy, and carrot; pulse 5 or 6 times, scraping sides of bowl, or just until ingredients are coarsely chopped. Place chopped ingredients in medium non-metal mixing bowl. Add jalapeño, tomato, cilantro, lime juice and olive oil; stir together. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature while preparing burgers.
Preheat gas grill on high. In medium mixing bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, peanut butter, mole paste, lime juice, garlic, salt, cumin, oregano, chili powder, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon olive oil until well combined. Add ground chicken; use your hands to blend ingredients together carefully just until mixed. Shape into six equal-sized balls and flatten into patties.
Use a silicon basting brush to brush remaining olive oil on preheated grill rack. Place patties on grill. Grill on one side for approximately 4 to 6 minutes. Flip burgers over carefully, and grill for additional 4 to 6 minutes, or until juices run clear when center is pierced. Sprinkle tops of burger with Mexican cheese and close grill lid. Cook for 1 to 3 minutes, or just until cheese melts and/or bubbles a bit.
Mix sauce while patties are grilling. In small non-metal mixing bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, and cilantro. Refrigerate until needed.
As burgers get done, remove to platter and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm. Butter tops and bottoms of buns. Place buttered sides down on grill; toast lightly, approximately 1 to 3 minutes.
Place bun bottoms on serving platter, and spread with 1 tablespoon mayonnaise mixture. Place 1 crisp lettuce leaf on each bun half; place 1 tablespoon of salsa on top of lettuce and spread it out a bit. Place one patty on each bun and divide avocado slices evenly between patties. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each bun top and place on burger. Serve and enjoy the fiesta in your mouth!
Chef's Notes: Mole paste can be found at any large well-stocked grocery store in either the Mexican food or international foods aisle. There are several brands available, but be sure to get the jar labeled mole. There are other jarred sauce pastes, labeled adobo, pipian, guajillo, etc. These have different tastes and this recipe has not been used with these versions. Queso blanco and queso cotija are Mexican cheeses and can be found in the specialty cheese section of the grocery store. Queso blanco is similar to a mild Greek feta cheese, and queso cotija is similar to Italian Parmesan cheese. Feta and Parmesan could be substituted in a pinch.

Plum features young, but experienced, lineup
Last season was a struggle for the Plum football team.
The Mustangs — faced with numerous injuries to key players and stiff competition in and out of Quad East play — finished 1-8 overall and 0-6 in conference play.
But coach Frank Sacco said this year's team, which features 25 players who earned a varsity letter in 2011, has the right attitude to start turning things around.
"I was pleased with our offseason work," Sacco said. "You sometimes don't know how the kids are going to respond after a season like we had. But they are really dedicated to this season."
Sacco said the lineup on both sides of the ball will be experienced but still young, as several sophomores and freshmen got playing time last season.
"They key for us again this year is staying healthy," Sacco said.
Senior Jake DiGuilio is Plum's lone returning all-conference player from a year ago, as he earned a second-team nod at linebacker.
DiGuilio, who shed about 15 pounds in the offseason and enters his third year as a starter, led the Mustangs in tackles last year with 53. Seven of the tackles were for a loss.
On offense, he combined his blocking and ball-carrying talents.
DiGuilio, who Sacco said is getting some looks from Division III schools, collected 140 yards on 56 carries and scored four of Plum's five rushing touchdowns. He added 15 receptions for 131 yards and a score.
"Jake's probably more in the role of a leader this year than ever," Sacco said. "He's a little quicker this year, but he's not lost any strength. He's one of the strongest kids on the team."
A pair of quarterbacks have been in the running throughout preseason camp to replace three-year starter and 1,000-yard thrower Christopher Zdinak, who graduated.
Senior Corey DeLoach, who played tight end last year and also got a little bit of varsity work at quarterback, and sophomore Will Fuhrer are the quarterback candidates.
"There are different positive attributes for both of them," Sacco said. "Corey has a little bit more experience in the offense. Will will be a really good one down the line."
Seniors Matt Dombroski (defensive end) and Nick DeLuca (defensive back), junior Jeff Ruffing (outside linebacker) and sophomore Nathan Turchick (defensive end) join DiGuilio as the 2011 leading tacklers among the returning letterwinners.
Sacco said the running back position — with Ruffing and sophomore Kyle Smecker back and fellow sophomore Joe DeFelice in the mix — can be a strength of the offense, as well as an experienced offensive line.
"The concern for us on the (offensive) line always is depth," Sacco said. "If they stay healthy, they have a chance to be pretty good."
Conference realignment shook things up in Quad-A, and Plum will face new conference foes Bethel Park, Baldwin, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Canon-McMillan and Peters Township while again matching up with Woodland Hills and Penn Hills.
This year's schedule includes trips through potentially heavy Friday evening traffic and construction areas on 376 to Baldwin, Mt. Lebanon, Canon-McMillan and Upper St. Clair.
"There's not a lot we can do about it," Sacco said.
"Traveling will be difficult, not only for us, but for the band, the cheerleaders and the fans. But all the teams in the conference are in the same situation, so we have to make the best of it."
Sacco knows what his team is up against this season.
"There are no slouches in this conference," Sacco said. "It's going to be a grinder."

Mariana Visagie, the crèche manager arranged a very special occasion for the women of Zwartbooisberg to celebrate Women's Day. The function took place on Saturday 13th
August at the crèche. The speakers from Upington who addressed the women were:
- Mr Johan du Pokoy from Cosatu
- Anthony Wyngaardt from the Lawyer for Human Rights
- Maurition Phillips from Women on Farms
To ensure that every woman present at the event understood the different messages, Mariana arranged for a translator. All the speakers addressed the issue on the rights of women and provided information on women working on farms.
The local women and children concluded the program for the day by dancing traditional dances. Winston Diergaardt and Brandton Visagie also entertained the women with their special moves. The day was a success and women went home educated.

I agree wholeheartedly. I have witnessed this process happening many times before. Above all, realize please that nazis deliberately try to play innocent and downplay their racism in order to drive naive liberals to their defense, and thus win a platform for subtly putting out racist propaganda. The most naive way to approach this is to say that this person should be kicked from the list only when he crosses some invisible line, eg for posting racism or behaving bad. Nazis deliberately work on the edges of such lines, stretching it tryingly every now and then, generating endless and never concluded debates about if he went over the line this time. A nazi on the list will be a source of permanent off-topicness. I've seen it happen so many times, I am not sure I will bother staying around seeing it happen again. - Per _________________________________ Web-Site: http://www.oekonux.org/ Organization: projekt oekonux.de

Security officials deny rumors that kidnapped Europeans are in Baida'a
Published on 17 January 2013 in News
Amal Al-Yarisi (author)
Amal Al-Yarisi (author)
He also denied claims that the victims are in the Baida'a governorate, southeast of Sana'a.
Security forces in Baida'a have neither officially nor privately provided information about the presence of the three foreigners in the area, according to Colonel Hamood Al-Amari, Baida'a security chief.
"We are still investigating this matter, but we have no evidence that demonstrates the victims are in Baida'a," he said.
Reuters news agency recently reported that an anonymous senior Yemeni official said tribesmen sold the abducted foreigners to Al-Qaeda.
Abdulkareem said the reports are merely rumors and that officials still do not know the location of the abductees, who were snatched from the Abu Murad Watch Store on Al-Qasr Street in Al-Tahrir district in December.
He said investigators are still trying to locate the victims,. They have not ruled out the possibility that they are being held in Sana'a, he added.
Security forces believe tribesmen would have already made demands if they were responsible for the abduction.
Sheikh Abdulrahman Al-Marwani, head of Dar Al-Salam Organization for Fighting Revenge and Violence, also confirms a lack of evidence pointing to Baida'a. He said they have contacted the committee affiliated with their organization in Baida'a, who say there is no indication that the kidnapped are being held there.
Al-Marwani does not believe Al-Qaeda is involved as they typically claim responsibility for their operations.
The state-run Saba News Agency reported that President Hadi met with the Finnish and Austrian ambassador and told them a "rogue terrorist group" had abducted the three Europeans. He did not specify the name of the group.
"I will do my best to secure the release of the three abducted foreigners as soon as possible as I promised the representatives of the two countries they belong to," Hadi said in a meeting recently with the ambassadors of Gulf Initiative countries and the Technical Committee for the National Dialogue Conference.
More than 200 kidnapping incidents have happened in Yemen over the past 15 years.
A Saudi diplomat and a female Swiss teacher are currently believed to be in Al-Qaeda's custody.

Throughout the postseason, Baseball Info Solutions will bring its expertise at analyzing statistical data to USA TODAY with key stats from the playoffs:
Sluggers Ryan Howard of the Philadelphia Phillies and David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox routinely see shifted defensive alignments. They are notorious left-handed pull hitters, taking 77% to 88% of the grounders to the right side. The shift makes sense: If a hitter like Howard never hits the ball to the left, why bother wasting two defenders on that side of the field?
In this year's Division Series, Milwaukee Brewers manager Ron Roenicke has employed a similar tactic against Chris Young of the Arizona Diamondbacks, except that Young is right-handed.
Young pulls a staggering 90% of his grounders to the left side. Though teams rarely consider a shift against right-handed hitters because the first baseman has to stay close to the base, Roenicke gambles with shifts like few others.
Under Ken Macha in 2010, the Brewers shifted less than any other team in baseball. With Roenicke taking the helm this year, the Brewers shifted on 157 balls in play, more than any team except for Joe Maddon's Tampa Bay Rays. Roenicke is more aggressive than Maddon against righties, however. Dan Uggla, Carlos Lee, Albert Pujols and Geovany Soto have all faced Roenicke's shifted infield alignment, as have a dozen other right-handed hitters.
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter.

WCJC offers the student classes in both physical and historical geology. Completion of a lecture class in geology earns the student 3 credit hours of science. Laboratory classes in geology are separate, whereby, upon completion, the student earns 1 credit hour. These satisfy the transfer science block requirements for most universities. Since the laboratories are separate 1-hour classes from the 3-hour lecture classes, students are able to fulfill their science requirements for a great variety of 4-year degree programs that may require 6, 7, or 8 hours of science credit. This allows the student at WCJC to complete only the needed lecture and laboratory hours for their particular degree program.
The fulltime and part-time geology faculty of WCJC has a rich and varied background in both professional field geology experience and years of teaching expertise. Fully equipped and modern laboratory facilities allow the student to experience ãhands onä geology with the investigation of mineral and rock specimens, a great variety of fossils, and geologic maps.

Congressman Bob Goodlatte released the following statement after voting in support of the Honoring Our Promise to America's Veterans Act (H.J.Res. 72) and the Pay Our Guard and Reserve Act (H.R. 3230). H.J.Res. 72 passed the House by a vote of 259-157 with 224 Republicans and 35 Democrats voting in favor. H.R. 3230 was approved by a vote of 265-160 with the support of 229 Republicans and 36 Democrats.
"Today, I voted in support of legislation to provide funding for veterans benefits and ensure that members of our National Guard and Reserves receive pay. Earlier this week, the Senate passed the House's Pay Our Military Act to guarantee our Armed Forces, who protect and defend America, will be paid during this partial government shutdown. I see no reason why the Senate should not pass these bipartisan bills as well to pay Guard and Reserve members and make certain that our veterans, who have served this nation bravely, do not have to worry about whether or not their benefits will be available."

"Ray" director Taylor Hackford has been assigned to helm a fact-based feature titled "Good Luck, Mr. Anthony" that Disney is developing with Beacon Pictures.
Making his way back to the big screen after directing the pilot episode of NBC's military drama series "E-Ring", Taylor Hackford has given his commitment to helm "Good Luck, Mr. Anthony" for Walt Disney Pictures and Beacon Pictures, Variety has reported.
Based on a true story, the project will follow a South African game preserve owner named Lawrence Anthony as he embarked on a rescue mission to save the animals in the Baghdad Zoo when the invasion of Iraq began in 2003. Beacon chairman Aryman Bernstein penned the screenplay alongside Terry Jastrow while also serving as producer with his partner Charlie Lyons executive producing.
Anthony, an owner and operator of a South African game preserve called Thula Thula, decided to carry out the mission after recalling that zoo animals are usually killed or die of neglect when wars begin. Eventually finding the zoo, where half of the 1,000 animals had already died, he then rallied the zoo staff to return and protected the animals with the help of other local people.

How to get a Natural Looking Hair Weave …
Most people wonder how celebrities get such amazing looking hair. Well usually, they weren't born with such gorgeous locs and most people know that celebrities look amazing only after a Hollywood beauty transformation. Their #1 beauty secret… a natural look weave.
To get a natural looking weave or hair extensions you'll need a talented hair extensionist and natural looking healthy hair. Most people believe that the hair alone makes a weave look good but many factors go into making a weave look just right.
1. The right braid pattern- The braid pattern is the base for which your extensions will be applied. A good braid pattern will mean that the hair will flow and move naturally.
2. The right amount of hair- Having too much or too little hair installed can make a weave look unnatural and fake. Having too little hair installed will make the weave look thin and stringy. Having too much hair can make a person look "wiggy" as if too much hair is growing from their head. The right amount of hair usually ranges from 8-10 oz (However a celebrity weave ie Beyonce usually has 10-16 oz of hair)
3. Having the right cut- Once the hair is installed the hair extensions should be properly layered or thinned using thinner shears or razor cut. Natural hair is never exactly one length. Layering the hair will make it look natural by taking some of the bulk out of the hair.
4. Proper hair care- Even the best quality hair will not look its best unless it's taken care of properly. Indian hair should be washed often so that oils and hair products don't build up. Also, it should be conditioned properly since the hair is unprocessed human hair. Proper conditioning will keep the hair looking shiny and healthy.
So once again, a great weave starts out with a good hair stylist and great quality hair. Everything else is up to you to keep it looking its best.

If I have upset people I'm genuinely sorry.
But I don't think there's anything in here that is in the least bit damaging to the long term of the party or the government.
And there isn't anything that is just tittle tattle.
And yet you talk vividly about personalities, in some cases, about very important policy discussions.
You reveal tensions at the heart of government. Can that not be seen as damaging?
No. I think it's open. I think people will see it as logical when they actually read the balance. And if anybody thinks that we didn't have real up and downers about spending reviews or the major issues, in a completely different world.
Seven day a week, twenty-four hour, global pressures with from Iraq to ID cards, to issues around how do you deal with the new Europe? Those are, those are massive issues on which I think the book sheds some light in terms of how we deal with them. And people come out with enormous credit.
One of your colleagues said to me during the course of the week "Ask him whether he was under financial pressure to write this book. That may be an explanation why he published it so quickly". What would you say to him?
Well I certainly could do with the cash. So let's be absolutely honest about it. Although the figures I've been reading this weekend are completely exaggerated.
I pay my agent. I pay the, for the book to be prepared for publication. And I make no apology for doing what my predecessors have done which is to reach the best deal but the best deal that cut out the kiss and tell. The best deal for me would have been one that had all there, all the b..., bodies dug up, all my private life splashed across this book. None of that is in this volume.
Let's focus on one of the biggest areas of dispute over the past few years and of course one that Mr Blair is still grappling with now which is Iraq. You mentioned the build up and the debate around the cabinet table. How many people around that cabinet table were openly voicing concern or even disagreement?
Two people in terms of whether we should be taking action - Robin and Clare Short.
Some of us in terms of what happened in winning the peace so that we could bring pressure to bear on the United States which Tony did everything he could to achieve, to actually work through, that you don't dismantle the police, the administration, the local government, the lower echelons of the armed services if you want to keep a functioning state. And this is not clever, clever hindsight.
I was saying at the time and regrettably it's been proved true since.
Was there not more discussion around that table about what happened afterwards? That's, that's the biggest question being asked now of Mr Blair isn't it? Why did you not prepare more?
Well he did. And there was. But the point I make very heavily in the Diary is that we're a sixty million nation off the geographic coast of Europe influencing the only super power in the world who were going into Iraq anyway and we did our utmost.
But we weren't in the White House or the Pentagon. We weren't influencing directly Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. And they were the ones who were taking the detailed decisions on dismantling all the apparatus that they found under the heading of de-baathertisation.
I mean put it another way, you failed to influence them?
We failed to fully influence them. We'd exercised enormous influence in getting very close to a second UN Resolution.
You use a very intriguing phrase about the Chancellor Gordon Brown when you say, before that crucial moment, for the invasion, Gordon is now going to come on board. What exactly did you mean by that?
Well I was only reflecting the fact that Gordon had chosen his moment. I'm reflecting history. And people ... know it. I mean there's nothing in my diary that can't be in one way or another verified by people simply looking at what happened at the time.
So Gordon Brown's support for it was not clear until the very, very late moment?
No. I've discussed this with Gordon. Gordon's support, and I have every reason to believe him, was unequivocal, behind the scenes. When he came public it was a decisive and important factor and very welcome.
I do want to ask you specifically, at least you recognised the impression you give in that section of your book, is that somehow Gordon Brown had not been fully convinced of the case for invasion and at the last minute decided for whatever reason that he was going to say that he supported it. That's the impression you give.
Yeah it was, it was my impression to my diary at a moment in time. And as I'm reflecting ..
Why did you get that impression?
Well I mean read the, people must read what I say before and after to get the full measure of my acknowledgment of Gordon's support, both for Tony personally in those circumstances and for the war.
Well to answer your question straight there was absolutely no way in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer, particularly this Chancellor of the Exchequer with the strength and breadth of his political clout, could possibly do anything other than back the Prime Minister on that occasion ..
Or else as you say ..
.. without there, without there being a consequence.
Of course. Of course.
I mean it's a blindingly obvious ..
Of course it is.
.. political observation ..
Of course and you used an even better phrase David didn't you?
At, at, at the time ..
The phrase you say, the phrase you use is that you know Tony will take him out, ...
Yeah, yeah. I wouldn't, I wouldn't use it now but I did then, and the, and the, the great strength of these diaries is not only that they're honest but that in italics I put my further thinking. So I haven't mixed as some diaries and most autobiographies do, fact with revisionist thinking later.
We now have the head of the army, the Chief of General Staff, Sir Richard Dannet saying that we should get out of Iraq soon and that we're causing more problems frankly in security terms by being there. What was your response to that?
I thought please don't try and introduce a new constitutional element, namely that the armed services in our democracy will interfere with the correct role of the government in making the decisions and the armed services, who are not normal employees, they're not civil servants or managers in a business, will carry it out. I think we're in danger of blowing this up beyond all belief.
I think that he's been in the job a very short period of time. And those of us who've been in jobs for a very long period of time and still make errors when we're talking to the press are beholden on being a little more gentle about it.
But you think it's fine that he stays in the job and it doesn't make that any more difficult?
I think it's fine that the decisions taken by the Prime Minister, the Defence Secretary has supported. I think lessons as I say we're learning all the time. Lessons will have been learnt. Cos we don't have the intervention of the military into our decision making in Britain and nor should we.
There's such a strong sense of frustration at times with the Civil Service in your book, that a very real sense that some of the more radical things you want to tackle are frankly being blocked. Either because of incompetence or because of a lack of structure or organisation. But it's the Civil Service getting in the way of things that you want to do. Is that entirely fair or is it the fact that ministers including yourself are sometimes just not very good at managing big departments and getting the change through that they want?
Well it's not entirely fair if we don't know what we want, if we don't provide the leadership of policy, we're clear about the objectives and the way in which we wish to approach it. If I have a criticism about this for myself it was, for, firstly I was too tetchy. But the truth is that on the whole they want to do the job. And the people that I valued most were those who went the extra mile to do so.
But they've never been equipped on the whole for the delivery on the ground and the connection between legislating which they're good at, crisis management which certainly in the Home Office they'd become used to, and long term thinking and preparation which involves re-training the service.
Do you think the department is still dysfunctional?
I think that what John Reid described in, in slightly different terms than I would have used, was correct. But it's part of the Home Office, not the Home Office. You, one thing I learnt was firstly I was unfair to my predecessor Jack Straw because I learnt very quickly that you're building bricks like creating a wall. And you, you think you've built it high enough to stop the storm hitting you.
And then you discover it's changed direction. And with immigration, with terrorism, with organised crime and drugs and everything that the Home - prisons - the Home Office has to deal with. It's the most frustrating, Tony said the most difficult job outside being Prime Minister and he was right. But it's the most frustrating job that anyone could ever have. And actually coming up to four years of it was probably enough for anybody.
You've obviously still got a very strong appetite for discussing policy and all the rest of it. You're a politician down to your fingertips and always will be. What is David Blunkett going to do in the future in terms of his politics?
Well contrary to what impression may have been gained over the last seven days, I'm going to throw heart and soul into us winning the next general election. And I'm going to ask Tony now and the new leader in future what contribution I can make.
How would you view the prospect of working for Prime Minister Gordon Brown if that's what happens?
Well I think all, all of us should bat in on the next Prime Minister. And I've made it clear time and time again that I don't think very much has changed over the, the last turbulent six weeks. And I believe that we will work together. If it's Gordon we'll be working under Gordon vigorously to see off David Cameron and to win the next general election.
Will you be backing him specifically?
I am dec..., well we haven't got a d..., declaration list yet. Because we haven't actually got the timetable from Tony and we won't have until next year. But when we do I'll be very happy to make my position clear. And let, let me make it clear as I do in the book. Gordon Brown happens to be a friend of mine. He and Sarah have shared their home with me. The idea that I'm letting colleagues down is just frankly risible.
What's stopping you declaring for Brown now? Because we know there'll be, you know there's going to be a change?
Bec..., be ..
What stops you saying that?
Well, well because I haven't had the discussions with him about this. And I haven't, I mean let's be honest about it. I haven't seen the field for Deputy and I haven't got the clout at the moment to make a difference. And perhaps by next year who knows, my street cred in the parliamentary Labour Party might be slightly higher than it has been over the last seven days.
Well I think you know full well, or do I need to say this that there'd be lots of people very interested to know which way the Blunkett vote would go.
I know they will, I know they will. And at the appropriate time I will very happily declare.
Would Gordon Brown make a good Prime Minister?
Oh yes. Absolutely.
And people shouldn't discount Mr Blunkett returning to a future cabinet?
Oh, oh ...
One of the press headlines this week said that you'd said goodbye to a cabinet career.
Well, well I haven't said one thing or the other because you see what happened to me in December two thousand and four was very salutary. I tried to come back too soon. I set my stall out and Tony was generous enough to give me a chance. I fell into terrible pitfalls and I say in the book that you know I should have foreseen them.
How hurt were you that people were saying here we have national security, some of the most important duties in the land, in the hand of someone who's quote "going mad"?
I was describing in December two thousand and four lies that I knew to be untrue, pressures that were absolutely enormous. And I looked at the ceiling and said to my diary in between a number of other phrases "I must be going mad". And to be absolutely - I also said by the way I'm starting not to believe myself any more.
It got to the point where I wasn't entirely sure whether I was, I was seeing the facts as I understood them. Thank God in retrospect, two years on, the facts were as I said they were, just as they were last year. But my goodness David Blunkett has quite a lot to answer for in terms of the collateral damage to family, to friends, to non-friends who didn't and haven't and still don't deserve the opprobrium, the flak that they're currently giving.
And you talked today about rebuilding your life. How is that process going?
Well it's going well because as all back benchers know looking after your constituency is a joy. Done my advice surgery this weekend with all sorts of cases.
It's, it's joyous to be able to walk at the weekend, to actually have a Sunday afternoon off, to be able to cook in the evening and just to have the pleasure of being with your family and your old friends again who were very tolerant but who I often lost touch with. It's a wonderful experience to start being a human being again.
David Blunkett, as always it's a pleasure to talk to you.
Thank you Huw.

Last year, we watched photojournalist Pete McBride's film Chasing Water at 5Point Film Festival. We always had an idea of the dire straits on the Colorado River, but the images in the film and accompanying book made it impossible to forget. Our mighty Colorado River that cut the Grand Canyon, that flows powerfully through the western states has been pushed, pulled and sucked dry — so much that it rarely reaches the ocean.
Colorado author Jonathan Waterman, who accompanied Pete McBride on his journey down the Colorado River, wrote in a recent New York Times opinion piece:
Until 1998 the Colorado regularly flowed south along the Arizona-California border into a Mexican delta, irrigating farmlands and enriching a wealth of wildlife and flora before emptying into the Gulf of California.
But decades of population growth, climate change and damming in the American Southwest have now desiccated the river in its lowest reaches, turning a once-lush Mexican delta into a desert…
Officials from Mexico and the United States are now talking about ways to increase the flow into the delta. With luck, someday it may reach the sea again… By strengthening the treaty between the United States and Mexico that governs the Colorado River, we have the opportunity to revive the river and show the world, as it is suggested in Ecclesiastes, that all rivers shall run to the sea.
Please take action to save the Colorado River here.
While we know the fight to restore the Colorado River's flow will be a tough fight, we only have to look to the Pacific Northwest for encouragement. Last year, historic action began on the Elwha River when crews began demolition of the two massive dams that have blocked the rivers flow for a century — the largest river restoration in history. But it didn't stop there. One month later, crews packed more than 700 pounds of dynamite into the base of Condit Dam on the White Salmon River in southwest Washington. Once detonated, the White Salmon River erupted through the hole, draining the reservoir behind the dam in less than an hour. Together, these dramatic events marked a new momentum in river restoration.
American Rivers, a national organization that works to protect and restore rivers across the United States called 2011 the "Year of the River" — marking these two historic events and the removal of 1,000 dams across the country. American Rivers, American Whitewater and the Hydropower Reform Coalition released a short film today that illustrates the remarkable dam removals on Elwha and White Salmon rivers. The seven-minute film premiered at the Wild and Scenic Film Festival in January and is the final installment in the "Year of the River" series by Andy Maser.
"People are hungry for positive news, and these river restoration stories are so inspiring," said Amy Kober, senior communications director for American Rivers. "Our goal with the video was to share the good news and help people celebrate, and hopefully create some renewed appreciation for healthy, free-flowing rivers."
The White Salmon and Elwha rivers have begun to recover with dam removal estimated to be complete in one to three years, respectively. Once the dams are completely removed, salmon and steelhead will have access to upstream habitat for the first time in 100 years. But perhaps more importantly, the removal of these dams has built a powerful momentum for free-flowing rivers throughout the West and America.
Please take action to remove 100 dams in 2012 here.

JERUSALEM (Jan. 5)
Authoritative Israeli sources today confirmed reports from Beirut that El Fatah was disarming in southern Lebanon and said the move was a surrender to pressure from the Lebanese government and public. The sources told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that prior to the Jordanian civil war last September, El Fatah, the largest of the Palestinian commando groups, would never have agreed to such measures as disarming and shutting down its four offices in the refugee camps in Lebanon. But is has become progressively weaker as a result of the civil war and mass desertions. The sources said that recent clashes with Israeli forces along the Lebanese border cost El Fatah many casualties but not enough to seriously affect their manpower situation. The sources said that according to rough estimates, no more than 500 El Fatah guerrillas are presently operating in southern Lebanon, but El Fatah itself probably doesn't know how many. As the organization grows weaker, it is less able to resist pressure from Lebanese authorities. Lebanese press reports indicate a growing opposition to the terrorists among the local population where once they derived their most ardent support, the sources said. The Beirut daily, Al Hawadith, accused El Fatah members in Lebanon recently of murder, rape and pillage and demanded that the guilty be tried.

Four Wins And A Podium Lock-Out For MGR...
Posted by: newsla on Sep 04, 2014 - 02:16 PM
Four Wins And A Podium Lock-Out For MGR...
The MGR/Pietro Fittipaldi juggernaut showed no sign of slowing down as the teamâs young star completed another clean sweep of wins at Snetterton yesterday (31 August). Not only that, he was joined on the podium in Norfolk after round nine by Tarun Reddy and Matteo Ferrer.
There was also double joy for the Bardon outfit as reigning Protyre Formula Renault Champion Chris Middlehurst took his first win in the BRDC Formula 4 series at Brands Hatch on the same weekend.
As the two events kicked off simultaneously, it was Fittipaldi who laid down the first marker with his sixth consecutive triumph in the opening encounter at Snetterton. The young Brazilian had started from P3 on the grid and was running in that position when the two leaders were brought into the pits to serve individual penalties for jumping the start. This left Pietro out in front, with Tarun and Matteo slotting in line astern behind him. Despite coming under huge pressure from Ferrer, Reddy kept his cool and responded by opening a small margin of comfort. Sensibly, the trio avoided any unnecessary shenanigans and made it the teamâs first podium lock-out of the season. Fellow MGR racer Colin Noble Jnr rounded out the top ten after a battling performance from the Scot.
Over in Kent, Middlehurst put more championship points on the board with a solid 7th place in the first race at the former Grand Prix venue. With the reverse grid format, this gave Chris P2 for the following race and his first front-row start of the season.
However, after struggling to get his car cleanly off the line, Middlehurst rapidly lost ground and dropped to 6th. This proved to be something of a blessing in disguise as he then had a grandstand seat as he watched three of the front-runners collide with each other. This moved him up to 2nd and he wasted little time in wresting the lead. With his nose now in front, Chris used his considerable experience to keep Arjun Maini at bay all the way to the chequered flag.
Back in Norfolk, a perfect start saw Fittipaldi leapfrog the stalled pole-sitter and ease away from the chasing pack. With his rivals unable to match his pace and consistency, he crossed the line well clear of his nearest pursuer. Tarun enjoyed another strong showing, ultimately taking 3rd, whilst Matteo and Colin completed the race in 6th and 7th respectively.
The third and final F4 race of the weekend saw Middlehurst finish the where he had started, in 9th place. After the dramas of the earlier race, stalemate appeared to be the order of the day and with such a closely matched field, the narrow confines of Brands presented few clear-cut opportunities for overtaking.
Showing completely contrasting fortunes, Michael Claessensâ eventful and frustrating weekend was compounded by an unscheduled pit-stop hampering his chances of finishing his race on a high note. Having tagged a car with his front wing in the first race, the Dutchman had to nurse his car home at the tail of the field. A crash whilst attempting a fast lap saw him DNF in the second, before the spin that prompted his pit-stop in the third race.
It took nine of the twelve laps of the last Renault race of the weekend, before Fittipaldi could afford a momentâs breath after holding off the spirited challenges of Alex Gill, but as the chequered flag was readied on the penultimate lap, Gill redoubled his efforts and set up a nail-biting finish. The MGR driver edged it, completing a perfect weekend for the highly-rated teenager.
Despite giving it his all, Tarun was just unable to net his third straight trophy of the weekend and had to settle for a creditable 4th at the finish. In fact, it was only the presence of the chequered flag that resolved the race-long scrap between Noble and Ferrer as they disputed 6th place. Ultimately it was Colin who bested his team-mate on this occasion and the standard of their driving drew widespread acclaim from the crowd.
In the points standings, Pietro now leads the way, with Matteo 2nd overall. The series moves to Croft in North Yorkshire for its penultimate event on 20/21 September. MGR will again be busy, as the BRDC F4 series also heads into its home stretch with its penultimate meeting taking place at MGRâs home track, Donington on the same weekend.
Reflecting on the two days of breathtaking action, MGRâs Team Manager Steve Lynch said: âThe team faced a challenging weekend with Renault and F4 taking place at different circuits, so to manage the situation as we did and come away with four wins is fantastic. For Pietro to have won eight consecutive races, in what is a very competitive championship, is astonishing. He had to work very hard for his success, showing great maturity, as well as fantastic pace. We are delighted that Chris was able to take his maiden F4 win at Brands Hatch after getting so close on a number of occasions this season. Overall it was a great weekend for our drivers but credit also needs to go to the mechanics for the fantastic work they put in to help achieve these results.â

Apalachee's boys basketball team brought home an early Christmas gift -- the first championship in any athletic competition in the school's young history.
The Wildcats routed Pike County 71-53 in the championship game of the First National Bank of Griffith high school tournament.
''It's our first tournament, our goal this week was to bring home some hardware,'' Apalachee head coach Dan Woschitz said. ''Our motto was 'the drive for hardware' since we didn't have any at the school.''
Apalachee opened last year, and the Wildcats struggled in their first year of basketball play. This season, Woschitz committed the team to playing in a holiday tournament to help the maturation process for the youthful roster.
The Wildcats bolted out to an early 18-11 lead at the end of the first quarter, and increased it to 39-19 at the half.
Terrance Arnold led the Wildcats (8-4) with 14 points, while Mike Odie added 10. Terence Stillwell and Bobby Duncan each scored nine points for Apalachee.

News Nugget: "Poor Brit Brit"
Britney Spears heads to Las Vegas, but record sales have slipped for the pop star.
The fact that she sold even 100,000 copies this week is pretty good. But sales like that won't sustain her over the next decade. But, sadly, "Britney Jean" sold fewer copies than the Duck Dynasty family The Robertsons, singing Christmas carols.

Adrian McKinty
Winner of the 2014 Ned Kelly Award for Best Fiction and picked by The American Library Association as one of the 10 best crime novels of 2014The third Sean Duffy thriller: a spectacular escape and an intense man-hunt that could change the future of a nation - and lay one man's past to rest.
It blew my doors off
A strain of rough and visual, sly and lyric narrative prose in service of one hell of a story. Sean Duffy is a great creation, and the place comes alive - a uniquely beautiful and nasty part of the world
Duffy is one of the most interesting, convincing and sympathetic police officers in recent crime fiction... McKinty gets better and better
It's easy to see Duffy becoming as popular as Ian Rankin's Rebus
This is a very fine police thriller from a rising start of the genre. The pacing is brisk and exciting, and the plotting is full of interest and surprises.

text: After reading the other posts here are my thoughts. I generally shut down my machines at night. Like Tee it is a force of habit from way back, another reason is that with my G3 on OS X it doesn't go to sleep properly so I don't get the power saving benefits of a sleeping computer. I also have my Energy Saver panel preferences set to screen saver after 15 minutes, hard drive sleep whenever possible and auto-shut off at 12:30 each evening (morning?), usually auto on at 8 AM during the week, which I change depending whether I'm going to be home or not. This way I don't have to remember whether I've shut the computer off or not. Talking about sleep - this is the same as turning your computer off with respect to daily, weekly and monthly maintenance scripts that OS X runs at pre-scheduled times. You would still need to use something like MacJanitor to ensure this gets done. You could also try a program called OnyX which can do many additional maintenance things that Mac Janitor doesn't. It comes in a 10.4.x version and a 10.3.x version; pick your flavour. It is freeware and avaialble at the following link: http://www.titanium.free.fr Martin On Apr 10,2007, at 9:47 PM, Gerhard Kuhn wrote: > Shutting down the Mac each night is actually not recommended as some > maintenance utilities run during the night.

Top Line: Latest on Ryan Malone; Ryan Smyth's memorable exit; more links
An annotated guide to this morning's must-read hockey stories:
• As goodbyes go, Ryan Smyth's couldn't have gone much better. Everything, from the fan reaction, to the captain's C to the the longest shift in recent memory to Vancouver's salute...it was an elegant tribute to a man who always played the game the right way.
• Steven Stamkos says Ryan Malone's Tampa Bay teammates will be there for him as he deals with the aftermath of his cocaine possession and DUI charges.
• Here's another amazing moment from last night when the Los Angeles Kings put aside their rivalry with the Anaheim Ducks to honor the great Teemu Selanne. Classy move, L.A.
• NHL.com offers a rundown of what's at stake on the final day of the regular season.
• Stanley Cup favorites a month ago, the Blues now look like a team that will be lucky to advance past the first round. With seven forwards down and eight losses in their past 13 games, St. Louis is ripe to be knocked off early.
• The Kings have been locked into their playoff position for so long that they haven't played a really meaningful game in weeks. Today, finally, they have something special to play for.
• And this is why Buffalo fans have been breathlessly awaiting the arrival of Jake McCabe.
• Don Cherry rips John Tortorella and praises Trevor Linden in a Canucks-heavy edition of Coach's Corner.
• This is a fascinating column from Larry Brooks in which the veteran scribe reveals the special relationship he's shared with Martin Brodeur for the past 20 years.
• Bruce Garrioch says this team has hung a For Sale sign around the necks of many of its players. He also looks at a coach on the hot seat, a GM candidate for Vancouver and Brendan Shanahan's replacement at the NHL in his potpourri column.
• Steve Simmons touches on a telling comment from Brendan Shanahan, a smart first pick for your hockey pool and problems in St. Louis in this week's Sunday column.
• A report suggests at least one coach on an expiring contract is being asked to stay on by his club.
• The New York Rangers pulled a fast one on their fans...back in 1926. Nice work by the Maven digging up this piece of hockey history.
• Adrian Dater says the Colorado Avalanche have been assembled in much the same way as the Blackhawks built a Stanley Cup champion. The core group of Matt Duchene, Gabriel Landeskog, Ryan O'Reilly and Nathan MacKinnon hasn't won anything yet, but they're about to take a first step towards what could be a serious stretch of success.
• David J. Neal says losing with youth has gotten old really fast in Florida.
• At least they set an embarrassing new record in the process.
• Once an area of serious concern, this has become a major asset for the Tampa Bay Lightning.
• If you've always wanted to live like Wayne Gretzky, now's your chance. And it'll only cost a hair of $10 million.Islanders who will and who won't be back

They visited a museum, drank tea, and, at the recommendation of locals, decided to visit a waterfall in the mountains.
The first time around, there was a hot-air balloon, a lake, and a waterfall.
The Hebrew word for "waterspout," as used in the book of Psalms, could also be translated as "waterfall."
Ask most designers for their mentors and out will gush a waterfall of names.
An impressive grand-scale set was constructed complete with a waterfall as the backdrop.
I stood at the foot of the waterfall, looking up at the fissure from which it issued.
"Because there is a dam and a waterfall below us," replied Forester.
Besides, the waterfall is bigger than ever now, on account of the rain.
And the waterfall was singing, so was the brook, but they sang a different song.
The lulling murmurs of a waterfall show whence it draws its being.

Stabber 'smiled' after attack
Chief court reporter
Page Tools
A young man accused of a stabbing murder at Southbank was smiling when he retrieved his hat after the attack, a Supreme Court jury has heard.
Prosecutor Mark Gamble said a female friend of the victim saw a man with a yellow hat stab him three times in the chest.
He said Alexandra Berry saw Bollus Angelo Athuai, 19, stab her friend Hani Ghaleb Jaber, then move away before returning to retrieve his hat from the ground.
Mr Gamble said she noticed the man was smiling when he took the hat.
Athuai, of Burnside, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Mr Jaber, 17, at the Southbank promenade early on September 25, 2003.
Mr Gamble said Mr Jaber died from multiple stab wounds despite attempts by police, ambulance officers, and his friends to revive him.
He said the attack took place after Ms Berry, Mr Jaber and their associate Hussan Hussain met Athuai and two other men at Southbank.
Mr Jaber tried to strike up a friendly conversation, but the effort was not reciprocated, Mr Gamble said.
Someone in the Athuai group asked if the others had knives. The Athuai group members laughed when Mr Hussain said he was Afghani, Mr Gamble said.
The Jaber group walked away, but later saw Athuai and the other two men.
Mr Gamble said Birag Kuat, one of Athuai's associates, punched Mr Hussain in the face, and Athuai attacked Mr Jaber.
When Mr Jaber lay motionless on the ground, in front of the Esso building at Southbank, Athuai moved over him and stabbed him three times in the upper chest, he said.
Mr Gamble said several witnesses would be called to give evidence about what they saw on the night of September 25.
He said security video footage from the Esso building showed events surrounding the stabbing, and other footage from a tram stop showed Athuai and his two friends.
He said the identity of the three men was a mystery until transit police recognised Athuai and Mr Kuat from pictures taken from the tram stop footage and sent by email. The transit constables had checked the tickets of the two men less than two weeks before the attack.
Mr Gamble said police searched Athuai's home and found under his bed what appeared to be the yellow sun visor hat he had worn on the night of the killing.
Defence counsel Greg Lyon told the jurors that Athuai was not guilty of murder.
He said there was no scientific evidence linking the hat from the bedroom to what had happened at Southbank.
Dr Lyon said there was no dispute Athuai was at Southbank on the night of the killing with two friends, who, like him, were young, dark-skinned African men.
He said the evidence did not prove Athuai was the person who stabbed Mr Jaber, and urged the jurors not to apply the test that "near enough is good enough".
He also asked them to consider factors like the lighting at the time of the stabbing, the proximity of witnesses, the speed of events and inconsistencies in the descriptions of the stabber. He said the video evidence was incomplete, and did not show the stabbing or the knife that was used.
The trial, before Justice Stephen Kaye, continues.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Recommended repairs on 2000 Lexus RX300
I have a very low mileage 2000 Lexus RX300. I currently have 62,500 miles. I have taken very good care of the car and have performed every service recommended by the manufacturer. My dealer is now telling me I need $2500 repairs. Timing belt, water pump, rear main seal, cam and crank seals with T/belt. I am experiencing no problems and haven't noticed any leaks. Am I being given a snow job?
I would get a second opinion, sounds like your dealership is being a bit aggressive with their recommendations. The timing belt on your Lexus is not due until 90k, by mileage, though some people will recommend it needs doing after 6 -7 years.
Again, get a second opinion from another shop:
Again, get a second opinion from another shop:
Thank you very much for your help. My problem is I don't know who I can go to for a second opinion. How do you find out who is a good mechanic and is trustworthy?
I have the same problem. My 2000 RX 300 was purchased new in July of 2000. Just turned 61,000 miles and I got exactly the same quote ($2500) for a lot of work to be done, especially timing belt and water pump. Seems high, but I don't know of a reliable Toyota independent mechanic in the Miami, FL area. The car is probably only worth $11,000. Sheila, what did you end up doing?
My car is running great and I declined all the service. I am watching everything carefully and looking for someone I trust to get a second opinion. Right now I think I will ignore the dealer and go by mileage on recommended service.
Didn't find what you were looking for?

Vander Blue Should Walk Away Next Time
By Troy Sparks
If freshman Vander Blue was a student at Marquette instead of a basketball player, would anybody care about his recent legal situation?
Blue was cited for assault and battery from an incident that happened last October, and I think that he will use better judgment the next time around.
He did what most 18 or 19-year old young men and women would do: React first and ask questions later. I would say that his mother was disappointed in her son for what he did.
If any of this stuff would have affected Blue's development as a player during the past season, then he would've transferred.
Head coach Buzz Williams would say that Blue is a good kid who made a reactionary approach to the guy he punched instead of thinking of the consequences it would cause.
The incident involving Blue took place around 1:30 a.m. when he and teammate Darius Johnson-Odom walked into the Qdoba restaurant. According to the citation, Blue approached a group of two men and two women and began talking, according to the April 20 Journal-Sentinel story.
One of the victims made fun of Blue's name, and the freshman guard invited the man outside where Blue pushed and punched him. Blue said, according to the police report, the man used a racial slur, but there was no proof that a slur was used.
My question to Johnson-Odom is, why didn't you escort Blue out the door and go back to the dorm? The second question to him is, what were the two of you doing out that late at night anyway? Doesn't Jimmy John's deliver to the dorms?
Johnson-Odom, being from North Carolina, has, at some point in his young adult life, heard racial slurs before. The incident on October 24 was about a week after the team held their official beginning of the season practices.
Blue has probably heard some unkind things in his young life, especially being from Madison. Heck, they're still peed off at him for changing his mind and signing with the Golden Eagles instead of Wisconsin. He gave a verbal committment to the Badgers at 15 years old.
There are some things that you have to walk away from or ignore because you can't fight everybody that insults you.
You can't assume that the action Blue committed was premeditated or if he crossed paths with anyone in the group before that night, and how did he know who to step up to? Whatever happened to going up to the counter, ordering your food, waiting for it and walking out the door? I guess those guys weren't hungry after all.
Blue was disciplined by the school and the basketball program and we should be satisfied with that.
