Richard Valdez hates the month of March - especially today, March 15.
That's the date 43 years ago when the former Marine machine-gunner was shot in the leg by a sniper in Vietnam's central coast region.
"I get moody and depressed. I get anxious. That wound changed my life," said Valdez, 63, a Highland resident.
Valdez suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, which the National Institute of Mental Health defines "as an anxiety disorder that can develop after exposure to a terrifying event or ordeal in which grave physical harm occurred or was threatened."
Decades after leaving Vietnam, Valdez sought help from the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Medical Center in Loma Linda.
He is among the 49,637 patients diagnosed with PTSD who were treated at the hospital last year.
With an influx of veterans from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the number of patients diagnosed with PTSD at the Loma Linda medical center has soared 114 percent from 2005, Veterans Affairs officials say.
But not all of that increase is from veterans coming out of the war on terror. Many fought in Vietnam, and as they enter retirement, they are haunted by images of the current conflicts, said Dennis Bull, a staff psychologist at the Loma Linda veterans hospital.
Lois Krawczyk, a supervisory psychologist at the hospital, said many didn't seek help earlier because of the stigma attached to those who face mental illness.
Fear that co-workers and superiors would wonder if they could do their jobs left them to face their PTSD alone, she said.
Valdez said images from today's battlefronts keep him on edge. But the trigger point for him to seek help was the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
At the time, Valdez was working for a large U.S. defense contractor at a classified site in Alice Springs, deep in the Australian outback.
On that job and well before Sept. 11, images from Vietnam crept into his mind, fed by the fires from nearby Aborigine encampments.
The smoke took him back to the villages south of Da Nang, where "at times things were quiet, and at times things exploded all around us," he said.
When he saw the World Trade Center burning on television, Valdez said he went on "attack defensive mode."
He couldn't get along with other managers who had not been in the military, quit the job and returned to California to get help at the VA.
Every March, Valdez still gets angry, remembering the call he got from legendary Arizona State University football coach Frank Kush, who was offering him a football scholarship.
Timing couldn't have been worse for the former star high school running back: The next week, he was going to Marine boot camp.
Kush said to contact him when he got out of the Marines. But the sniper's bullet dashed that dream.
Awareness in the military and the VA about PTSD is far different for vets coming out of the current conflicts than for Vietnam.
Military services are doing health assessments as people leave the war theater, and then the VA follows up 90 days later.
Often, military personnel won't mention symptoms of PTSD before they're discharged, because they don't want to be kept in longer, Bull said.
"It's not necessarily a bad thing to wait," Bull said. "When people experience a traumatic event, there is a recovery period of three to six months."
But sometimes that recovery doesn't happen, and the VA wants to reach people before the war experience explodes across the returning veteran's life.
That's what happened to Andrew Wadley, 35, of Riverside.
A Marine veteran of Somalia, Wadley said he was involved in a humanitarian effort that remained after the debacle in Mogadishu in 1993, which inspired the book and movie "Black Hawk Down."
The initial optimism of the mission faded with the harsh reality that some of the same people Marines fed during the day were the ones sneaking into their camp at night to kill them, Wadley said.
"It was a fine line. There were no uniformed soldiers. Mothers would use babies to force military vehicles to stop, then the convoy would be attacked with rocket-propelled grenades and satchel bombs."
Later, orders came down not to stop, he said.
"We all had nightmares. It got bad. There was no safety zone," he said.
Outbursts of anger, numbness to the world that began in Somalia, continued in California after Wadley left the Marines.
There was a divorce, assault charges and a weapons charge.
For a while, Wadley said he kept a loaded .357 Magnum revolver in his vehicle because he believed members of the large Somali community in San Diego would come to kill him.
Wadley sought help from the VA in early 2009 - more than a decade after leaving Somalia. This year he has continued to attend anger management and group therapy classes as well as private counseling sessions.
Wadley said he sees a difference. He isn't self-medicating with drugs and alcohol and "doesn't want to die anymore."
Everyone he knows says they see a difference.
Kyle Dischler, 30, of Riverside said he returned from Iraq a different person.
The person who was always going out with friends stopped going to the mall, nightclubs and stores.
Suddenly, Dischler didn't want to be any place where there were a lot of people.
"My friends noticed a real behavior shift," he said.
Dischler was a tank mechanic during the March 2003 invasion in Iraq.
And for the Marines, that means driving behind the tank column in an armored vehicle and fixing damaged tanks on the front lines - often under enemy rocket and artillery fire.
Dischler came back with an anxiety about people and crowds. He became a homebody and began drinking too much.
He got a mechanic's job in a very noisy shop and found himself on the floor more than once after a loud noise.
He decided that environment was bad, so he quit and went to Riverside Community College to study electrical engineering.
But soon it became very stressful to be in a classroom with many other students. His sleep was poor, and he found it hard to concentrate.
So he quit.
Now he volunteers with the Disabled American Veterans and stays busy doing work on their behalf and looking for a job.
"I try to keep busy. Free time is our enemy," he said.
Dischler started going to the VA for back problems in 2005, but it wasn't until 2006 that he started counseling for PTSD.
"The VA has the right idea. The classes are good. It's just hard to find the time to go there," he said.
"I make myself go to the mall. I'm not as anxious in stores."
Valdez, who is national deputy chief of staff for the Southern California region of Disabled American Veterans, said it is important to realize the tremendous effect PTSD has on spouses and children.
Krawczyk said the VA is expanding its offerings to better accommodate those who work and is developing programs to help children deal with their moms or dads who might be experiencing PTSD.
Bull said the VA also is experimenting with alternative therapies to help with trauma recovery, programs like kayaking and horseback riding.
• Intrusive memories of war, flashbacks so vivid they are almost hallucinations.
• Nightmares, flailing around at night.
• Irritability, anger at work and at home.
• Hypervigilance, meaning odd behavior resulting from a heightened state of readiness, such as walking around the house all night to protect the family.

*** Correction, March 20 ***
The story, "War never ends for some," and its accompanying graphic on March 15 contained incorrect information. The Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Medical Center in Loma Linda had 49,637 visits last year from patients dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder. That's a 114 percent increase from 2005. There were 23,142 patient visits in 2005 and 38,399 in 2007.

Actor Shahid Kapoor said that he hasn't watched his film "Shaandaar" yet but director Vikas Bahl has showed it to his wife Mira Rajput as gift for her birthday.
At a press meet on Thursday to unveil the song "Gulaabo", Shahid, again asked questions abut wife Mira and what he gifted her on her birthday, replied: "Vikas presented her a birthday gift, which was to show her 'Shaandaar'. She came and she watched 'Shaandaar'. Even I haven't watched the film till now and Vikas has showed it only to Mira."
"Gulaabo" is a kind of bachelorette bash song, as Alia Bhatt in the film is arranging the bash for the character played by Shahid's sister Sanah who makes her debut with the film. Shahid was asked how excited was he to be part of a bachelor's party (in the song) two months after his wedding, when Alia again stood up for him.
At the last event, Alia was seen protecting Shahid from all questions related to his personal life. This time too Alia continued answering on Shahid's behalf for these questions. She said: "I have said this time and again my friends, no wedding questions. I'm standing here, there won't be any questions.
"Even if you ask me about my marriage, I won't be answering them."
At this, Shahid replied: "If you ask about her marriage, I'll stand for her. That's the feelings we have."
"Shaandaar", produced by Dharma Productions and Phantom Productions, is releasing on October 22.

Hair Type :: Very Curly HairBOTTOM LINE: The Brush Every Curl Girl Needs!
How I wish my Mom used this to brush my hair as a child! As a mixed girl with 3b/3c hair (Google if you don't know what that looks like), brushing my thick curls was always a dreaded, painful, and time consuming experience. I bought this brush 2 years ago and it's made me LOVE brushing my hair ever since! Whenever I'm in the shower and I need to de-tangle, I just break out this brush and gently brush through my locks.In about 5-7 minutes I have nice, defined curls. Use some conditioner to make the job even easier. My de-tangling routine used to take me 20 minutes, now it takes 5! What's great about this brush is that it saturates my hair quickly, and easily disperses products like conditioners, oils, and creams all throughout my hair. Just do this sparingly if you have product that you want to leave in, as the comb will pick up the product as you brush it through. This brush is also great for styling. This paddle brush gives me big, fat curls and ringlets, rather than the small individual ones I would normally get with a wide toothed comb. The brush is durable,the little teeth stay in for a long time, and the handle stays in good condition even after being used in the shower every brush time! So no worries about significant water damage. Whats also great is that this brush just seems to slide right through my hair like butter, making brushing a nice, relaxing experience. Even on my worst tangle days, I never have any pain or ripped out hair! No painful tugging on snarls and tangles! So whether it's for your hair or for your child's, this brush is a MUST.

I am Caucasian with straight hair, but my daughter is half African with gorgeous ringlets. The ends of her hair were always somewhat tangled until I started using this brush. Using this brush (soaking wet loaded with conditioner of course) produces the most amazing results from scalp to tip. This is a must have for curly hair!
MixedChicks.net responds: More and more we hear that moms with straight hair love using our Mixed Chicks brush on curly kids. Thank you.

OMG!! I don't think I have ever enjoyed brushing my hair as much as I have with this paddle brush. I think the Mixed chicks products I've been using for the past two months may also have helped, however this brush, brushes my hair without a single trouble. I use it right after I put a little bit of the leave in condtioner, and it goes striaght through my hair without any trouble. It has actually made me ( a very curly haired girl) enjoy brushing my hair!!
MixedChicks.net responds: The paddle brush is something I found works great for my daughter's hair. Kim (of Mixed Chicks) hipped me to it. And thank goodness! Have you tried the new Mixed Chicks hair bands, too? They don't tangle. hair band link: http://www.mixedchicks.net/hair-band.html

This is the first time that I write a review but I had to share my love for this brush!!! I was a little hesitant to buy this brush at first even with such positive reviews. This product met and surpass all of my expectations. I use the brush to detangle my daughter's extremely curly hair. I went from 20 minutes of screams and cries to 5 minutes or less of silence!!! I definitely recommend this brush to anyone regardless of hair type.
MixedChicks.net responds: The paddle brush was always Kim's favorite. It seems to be a little easier on the scalp. I find the air cushion in the brush massages my hair while I use it.

I bought this paddle brush 3 weeks ago & I wish I would have bought it when my daughter was younger! She is six & has very curly, very thick hair & like others on the site I was using a large comb on her hair. Bathtime was never a fun time when it was time to comb her hair but now no complaints & she says it doesn't even hurt anymore. I would recommend this as a must for anyone whose child has thick, curly hair.

Conférence des Ministres européens responsables des Affaires culturelles - 20 - 22 octobre 2003 - Opatija, Croatie
(Version anglaise)
(Seul le texte prononcé fait foi)
Antun Vujic, Ministre de la culture de la Croatie
Two conferences of the ministers of culture, one having taken place and the other taking place in the Republic of Croatia, had been planned for a long time and we believe that it is the right time for the INCP (International Network on Cultural Policies) ministers of culture and the CoE (Council of Europe) ministers responsible for culture to gather.
International Network on Cultural Policies has 59 member states, that look for the solution for preservation of cultural diversity in the context of unifying globalization processes. Related to that is the effort to find the instruments for protection and preservation of cultural diversity, initiatives in the UNESCO and within national legislations, especially as regards cultuiral industries, media and all those fields in which globalization processes sometimes stimulate cultural identitiy of the small countries in particular.
At the meetings of the ministers of culture who were at the Conference that ended yesterday there were 22 ministers and 35 delegations from all the continents, as well as the delegations from the Council of Europe, UNESCO and le Francofonie. We discussed the new issues related to cultural policy. Convention on Cultural Diversity outlines and warns about those problems. The Conference of the International Network on Cultural Diversity (INCD), which is the network of NGOs, preceded our Conference and cooperation of aritsts and ministers, of civil society and politics is of utmost importance, and let us not forget – NGOs were those that initiated the work on a document on cultural diversity.
Draft Convention on Cultural Diversity goes along these lines. It has just been discussed and got the green light at UNESCO Conference in Paris, so it is expected to be adopted in 2005. It is a result of a long work at the International instrument for cultural diversity.
Small cultures of today, small not according to their achievements, but according to the number of those who contribute to that culture, are jeopardized to become extinct by the appearance of large cultures. Their preservation is one of preoccupations of the INCP members, members of network that was established out of that worry, and network whose members are those who implement cultural policies. Preservation of cultural diversity depends on numerous non-cultural factors, primarily on those related to trade and international trade, but also political relations. This instrument deals, among other things, with these relations.
In the discussions of the past three days we tackled numerous topics related to cultural diversity, financing of culture, interculturalism and media.
Research that was prepared by Croatia as a basis for discussion on financing culture showed that there is a need to develop different models which will enable autonomous development of culture as a specific field of public activity, which is still in major part financed by public means. The discussions that followed, stressed the need for development of a unique access to cultural statistics and creation of parallel legal documents in order to base our decisions on the experience of all of us.
In the part that dealt with cultural diversity, we referred to excellent work of the Working Group for Cultural Diversity which prepared Convention of Cultural Diversity, as well as a series of other documents which explain our position in this very sensitive field. Cultural diverstiy is an imperative today, it is a norm which becomes an element of every culture because it enables life in the globally connected world, and it is this very norm that has been jeopardized by reducing culture to goods. This Convention tries to define the way that will position culture in relation to the other elements of globalizing world so as to ensure a balanced development of trade and culture.
Following this discussion, we touched upon the issue of media whose pluralism and independence was put under a question mark. It was clear that numerous countries develop mechanisms which will enable diversity of accesses to media. This issue will also in future be the topic of our discussions.
Report on interculturalism and cultural observatories, prepared by the Liasion Bureau proved to be useful bases for our discussions and they will continue with their work.
In the two and a half days that are to follow, we have to work on draft Declaration on Intercultural Dialogue and Conflict Prevention in order to define cooperation framework and create better "conditions for the promotion and construction of a society based on intercultural dialogue and respect of cultural diverstiy, and on the other, contributiong to the creation of conditions favouring the prevention of violent conflicts, the management and control of conflicts and post-conflict reconiciliation."
I truly believe that our joint contemplation will harmonize our positions so that the Declaration on Intercultural Dialogue and Conflict Prevention can be adopted in Opatija.

Itachi Uchiha
"Foolish little brother, if you wish to kill me, hate me, detest me, and survive in an unsightly way. Foster your hatred. Run, run and cling to your wretched life. And one day, when you have the same eyes I do, come before me."
Basic Information
Name: Itachi Uchiha (うちはイタチ, Uchiha Itachi)
Gender: Male
Age: 21 yrs
Clan: Uchiha clan
Looks :
Despite his status as an infamous shinobi, Itachi's appearance was not the most intimidating, apart from the intensity of his gaze. While living in Konoha, he would regularly have a gentle look in his eyes, especially directed towards his younger brother. After joining Akatsuki, they would regularly have a stern look to them.
Itachi was a fairly tall young man with onyx eyes, black hair with bangs that framed his face and a low ponytail that reached into his upper back. The ponytail was, however, later obscured by the high collar of the Akatsuki cloak he wore after joining the organisation. Being brothers, Itachi and Sasuke had a similar appearance, so much so that Naruto nearly mistook Itachi for Sasuke when they first met. Itachi's most distinguishing characteristics were the long pronounced tear troughs under his eyes.
When he lived in Konoha, his casual clothes consisted of a black shirt with a large Uchiha clan symbol on the back, and pants with a weapons pouch strapped to his back. When on duty, he would wear the traditional ANBU uniform, although he was never shown wearing a mask. As a member of Akatsuki, he wore a slashed Konoha forehead protector and the traditional Akatsuki cloak. Sometimes, he would unbutton his cloak to mid-chest and rest his left arm there, rather than in the sleeve. After his cloak was incinerated by Sasuke's Kirin during their fight in Part II, it was revealed that he wore similar clothes to that of the rest of the Akatsuki. His attire consisted of a body mesh under a blue v-neck T-shirt with a sash around the waist, and blue pants. Like most members of Akatsuki, he wore the forehead protector of his home village with a horizontal line gouged through it to symbolise his broken ties with the village. On his right ring finger was his Akatsuki ring, which was red and bore the kanji for Vermilion (朱, shu). He also wore dark purple nail polish on his fingers and toes and a necklace with three metal circles or rings.
After being reincarnated, Itachi's eyes appear to have black sclera like the other shinobi that Kabuto Yakushi reincarnated. He is also clad in a dark-red cloak.
Personality :
Ever since his first appearance, Itachi had always been inscrutable. Flashbacks showed that he used to be a compassionate brother, but his initial appearances depicted him as an Akatsuki criminal only interested in the organisation's success and secrecy before all else.Later his interested in Akatsuki was revealed to be an act, and his true intentions for joining the organisation were to spy on it from within. Nonetheless, Itachi and his partner, Kisame, cooperated better than most Akatsuki partners, and despite the differences in personalities, appeared to have mutual respect for one another.
While a member of Akatsuki, he possessed incredible self-control of his emotions, constantly displaying an emotionless personality. He only showed surprise when opponents proved more powerful or skilled than expected, and even then didn't lose his composure. After his death, he has also been shown to have a sense of humour, such as questioning Naruto's claim that no one could survive Nagato's attack when Naruto clearly did, and calling his younger brother a "snake expert" while fighting Kabuto Yakushi.
Itachi had equally impressive intelligence, and was shown to be very wise, something even Tobi acknowledged. He was exceedingly sharp, observant, and intuitive, as he was rarely caught off guard or deceived. This intelligence could also be seen through Itachi's immense foresight; his foreknowledge of Sasuke's defeat of Deidara and simultaneous survival, his own pre-meditated death by Sasuke's hand, and most recently, the implantation of his own Kotoamatsukami-imbued crow inside Naruto were only some examples seen.
However, while Itachi was an extremely powerful shinobi, he was not arrogant, and even complimented his opponents at times on their abilities. After his death, Itachi realised that he shouldn't have tried to deal with Sasuke on his own and encouraged Naruto to never forget his friends. Likewise, Itachi took no enjoyment in violence or combat, instead preferring to avoid battle or, if not possible, end it as quickly as he could.
As Kabuto noted, Itachi also lived in deception.On top of his pretense in promoting Akatsuki's goals, he also pretended to seek the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. During a genjutsu fight with Sasuke, he claimed to have only let Sasuke live to take his eyes, and that the Uchiha clan had been tainted and corrupt, since many members would kill their friends to gain the Mangekyō Sharingan and transplant another Uchiha clan members' eyes to make the power permanent. Once the genjutsu was released, he called it his true self, implying his calm, emotionless personality was also a façade. This persona was later revealed to be only an act to ensure that he would die by Sasuke's hands. After learning Sasuke refused to go back to Konoha postmortem, Itachi placed all his faith in Naruto, who he noted has inherited Shisui's will and was most determined to save and protect Sasuke.Despite all his treacherous actions, Itachi only did them all to protect Sasuke and Konoha. Finally, even while knowing full-well the dark sides of the village, he still considered himself a shinobi of Konoha.

Background Info.
History :
Itachi was born into the Uchiha clan as the eldest son of Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha and was praised by all as the best of his generation, a genius above all others, even by the standards of the battle-adept Uchiha clan, Itachi's prowess far outshone their own. However, few could understand him. When he was only four, Itachi had already witnessed countless lives lost due to the Third Shinobi World War, which emotionally traumatised him and turned him into a pacifist.
During the Nine-Tails' attack on Konoha, Itachi was left alone to take care of his infant brother Sasuke and promised to protect him no matter what. In the anime, it was shown that during their childhood, Itachi made a game of collecting paw prints of cats with his brother. The last paw print to be collected was Nekomata's, who Itachi had defeated and asked him to fight Sasuke with all his might when Sasuke got older.
At age 7, Itachi graduated from the Academy at the top of his class after only one year, mastered the Sharingan at age 8, passed the Chūnin Exams at age 10, enrolled in ANBU half a year later and became captain by 13. At some point in time in their childhood, Sasuke helped Itachi on one of his missions to capture a giant boar. Itachi told Sasuke to avoid his vital points. He then threw kunai with explosive tags around the boar, to confuse it and to give Sasuke an opportunity to shoot the boar. Sasuke, however, missed completely. After Sasuke apologised, Itachi told him he needs to train more.
Itachi was praised highly by his father, who saw the family's future in Itachi and hence inadvertently neglected his younger son. However, during this time Itachi showed great affection towards his little brother and even encouraged his father to come to the Academy enrolment ceremony for Sasuke, something their father had otherwise forgotten, caught up an important mission that would establish Itachi a place in the ANBU ranks.
When the Uchiha clan began planning to overthrow Konoha, Itachi, as an ANBU, was tasked with spying on the village. Knowing that a coup d'état would only lead to another Ninja War, Itachi began spying on the Uchiha instead, passing on information to the Third Hokage and Konoha elders. During this time he began to act strangely, not attending the clan meetings, speaking out against the clan, and becoming the prime suspect for the murder of his best friend Shisui Uchiha, who was drowned in the Naka River. In reality, Shisui died after entrusted his remaining Mangekyō Sharingan to Itachi, the other having been taken by Danzō. Due to this the clan lost hope in Itachi, and his father began shifting his focus to Sasuke instead. Meanwhile, the Third's attempts to negotiate a bloodless end to hostilities between the two parties were proving ineffective so, against Hiruzen's wishes, Danzō Shimura and the Konoha Council ordered Itachi to wipe out the Uchiha clan.
Before the fateful night arrived, Itachi discovered the existence of Tobi — under the guise of a vengeful Madara Uchiha — who was attempting to rekindle the flames of war in Konoha. In return for not attacking Konoha, Itachi offered to help him claim vengeance against the Uchiha for turning their backs on him decades earlier; Tobi agreed. Itachi slaughtered his entire clan overnight, including his friends, superiors, family, and lover.[However, he spared Sasuke, because he could not follow through with the orders to kill his little brother. Instead, he made himself out as a villain, who had killed their innocent family only to test his capacity, and told Sasuke he was not even worth killing. In addition, Itachi told him, "You've always wanted to surpass me. That's why I'm going to let you live… if you wish to kill me, then hate me, despise me… and by all means flee, cling to your wretched life". Itachi also revealed to Sasuke the secret meeting place of the Uchiha, where Sasuke can learn the true history and purpose of the Sharingan. Itachi told him that in order to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, Sasuke had to kill the person closest to him, and that when they met again, they should have the same eyes.
Sasuke managed to stand back up, awaken his Sharingan, and pursue Itachi. Upon reaching Itachi, he managed to knock off his forehead protector. Itachi shed a tear as he was picking up his forehead protector, then proceeded to incapacitate Sasuke, who awoke in the hospital, only remembering up to Itachi's speech. By doing all this, Itachi hoped Sasuke would take vengeance on him and become a hero to Konoha, thus redeeming the Uchiha name. Hoping that his little brother would someday be powerful enough to kill him, Itachi left the village as a traitor. Knowing that Konoha would still want to eliminate Sasuke, Itachi pleaded with the Third Hokage to keep Sasuke safe and threatened Danzō not to harm Sasuke or else he would reveal everything he knew about Konoha's secrets to enemy nations.
Itachi joined Akatsuki in order to keep an eye on the organisation, along with Tobi, in case either ever acted against Konoha, all the while planning for his death at Sasuke's hands. During his time in Akatsuki, Orochimaru tried to steal his body to gain the Sharingan, but Itachi trapped him in a genjutsu and severed his left hand. Itachi was further partnered with Kisame Hoshigaki, who initially tried to intimidate him. However, they eventually became good partners. Sometime after Orochimaru fled, Itachi helped recruit Deidara by beating him in battle using only genjutsu, to which Deidara swore vengeance.
At some point in time, Itachi contracted a fatal illness. He kept himself alive through the intake of various medicines and sheer "willpower", in the hopes of living long enough to die by Sasuke's hands.
* Itachi (鼬) can be translated as "weasel".
* He and Kisame were the first active Akatsuki members to appear.
* According to the Third Naruto Databook:
- Itachi's hobby was visiting traditional Japanese cafés.
- Itachi wished to fight Sasuke.
- Itachi's favourite foods were cabbage and onigiri with seaweed in it, while his least favourite was steak.
- Itachi had completed 340 official missions in total: 53 D-rank, 152 C-rank, 134 B-rank, 0 A-rank and 1 S-rank.
- Itachi's favourite word was "peace" (平和, heiwa).
* Itachi had always poked his younger brother, Sasuke Uchiha, in the forehead when they were younger, saying "Forgive me Sasuke… Again, next time" (「許せサスケ…また今度だ」, "Yuruse Sasuke… Mata kondo da").
* Itachi is tied with Jiraiya for having the highest stat total in the databooks.
* Itachi is one of the few people who know the identities of both Naruto's father and mother.
(To Sasuke) "Forgive me Sasuke… Again, next time."
- (To Sasuke) "Being skilled isn't all that's it's made out to be. When you're strong, you become arrogant and withdrawn. Even if what you sought after was your dream."
- (To Sasuke) "You and I are flesh and blood. I'm always going to be there for you, even if it's only as an obstacle for you to overcome. Even if you do hate me. That's what big brothers are for."
- (To Yashiro, Tekka and Inabi) "You hold onto the organisation and your clan name. These things limit us and limit our capacities… These things deserve to be shunned. It is foolish to fear what we've yet to see and know!"
- (To Yashiro, Tekka and Inabi) "I've had enough, there's no hope left for this pathetic clan. You forget what is most important to you because you cling to something small like your clan. True change cannot be made if it is bound by laws and limitations, predictions and imagination."
- (To Sasuke) "My foolish brother… If you want to kill me… curse me! Hate me! And live a long and unsightly life… Run away… run away… and cling to your pitiful life."
- (To Sasuke) "People live their lives bound by what they accept as correct and true. That's how they define "reality". But what does it mean to be "correct" or "true"? Merely vague concepts… their "reality" may all be a mirage. Can we consider them to simply be living in their own world, shaped by their beliefs?"
- (To an infant Sasuke) "Don't cry, Sasuke. Your big brother is here to protect you, no matter what happens."
- (To Kisame, after he related the story of the sharks) "We are humans, not fish. We don't know what kind of people we truly are until the moment before our deaths. As death comes to embrace you, you will realise what you are. That's what death is, don't you think?"
- (Last words to Sasuke) "Forgive me Sasuke… …It ends with this."
- (About Shisui's teachings to him) "Self-sacrifice… A nameless shinobi who protects peace within its shadow… That is a true shinobi."
- (To Sasuke about Kabuto) "Sasuke, don't listen to him. In other words, he can lie better than I can. Also… the village does have its dark side, and its inconsistencies. But I'm still Konoha's Itachi Uchiha."
- (To Kabuto) "Those who can't acknowledge their real selves are bound to fail."
- (To Kabuto) "That (imitating someone you respect) is something you do in order to grow. You can't use it as a disguise to pretend to be someone you are not."

Mutual legal assistance and extradition
Globalisation and Increasing mobility across the EU create new opportunities for cross-border crime. This is why mutual legal assistance and agreements on extradition are essential for the EU, in order to achieve a European area of justice.
Mutual legal assistance consists of cooperation between different countries for the purpose of gathering and exchanging information, and requesting and providing assistance in obtaining evidence located in one country to assist in criminal investigations or proceedings in another.
Extradition is the legal process by which an individual is transferred from one state to another for the purposes of facing trial or sentence.
Mechanisms have been put in place both in the EU and for cooperation with third countries to provide a framework for these exchanges.
A huge contribution to the evolution of international judicial cooperation in criminal matters comes from the Council of Europe Conventions.
Mechanisms at EU level
Legal and judicial systems vary from one EU country to another. This diversity creates a strong need to establish cooperation between the different countries' authorities.
Mutual legal assistance mechanisms are being progressively replaced by mutual recognition instruments. However, one agreement between EU countries is still in place: the Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters from 2000 strengthens cooperation between judicial, police and customs authorities.
International agreements
International judicial cooperation is aimed at ensuring cooperation between judicial authorities on various legal matters in different cross-border situations.
The dynamic and complex forces of globalisation have created a need for legal certainty and stability on a global scale: the increasing mobility of citizens within the EU has resulted in a growing number of 'international' situations where judicial cooperation in criminal matters is necessary.
EU action at internal level must therefore be complemented by cooperation with third countries and international organisations.
The EU has increasingly been perceived as an international partner in judicial cooperation matters. Agreements on extradition and mutual legal assistance have been concluded with the United States, Japan, Iceland and Norway.
EU-US agreements
After 9/11, the EU and the US took steps to improve cooperation on law enforcement and judicial cooperation.
In 2003, the first international agreements in the field of justice and home affairs were signed by the EU. After a complex ratification procedure, the two agreements finally entered into force on 1 February 2010.
The EU-US framework agreements will facilitate and expedite assistance between the EU and the United States. They set a common framework for cooperation and will co-exist with existing bilateral agreements between the US and individual EU countries.
EU-Japan agreement
Negotiated in record time given the imminent entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty on 1 December 2009, the agreement between the EU and Japan on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters is the first 'self-standing' mutual legal assistance agreement between the EU and a third country.
Since there are no such agreements between Japan and individual EU countries, the agreement will bring significant added value to EU-Japan relations. It ensures respect for the fundamental values of the EU.
The agreement introduces modern cooperation tools including:
- the possibility to provide testimony via videoconference. This will significantly simplify the procedure of hearing a witness or an expert, eliminating long and expensive travel. In practice this will mean that an EU citizen who was the witness of a crime committed in Japan for instance, will no longer be required to travel to Japan to provide a testimony, but will be able to speak via videoconference from his or her home country;
- the exchange of bank information. Police authorities and prosecutors will now be able to receive promptly the necessary information. It will not be possible to refuse such assistance on the grounds of bank secrecy.

San Francisco Mandates Breakfast Contents
Posted by Dave Blount at October 6, 2010 2:42 PM
This is the level of totalitarian micromanagement businesses and their customers are already subjected to in the liberal dystopia of San Franfreakshow:
While all of the media buzz about San Francisco's assault on fast food restaurants has been focused on toys found in kids' meals, the Board of Supervisors last week decided to take a shot at regulating "breakfast items" marketed to adults, too.
According to a Sept. 27 amendment to the city's proposed Happy Meal toy ban ordinance, "a new category of items — breakfast items — are required to contain 0.5 cups of fruit. A Meal must now also contain whole grains where bread is part of the offering."
The amendment defines "Whole grains" as "Bread, such as a hamburger bun or other sandwhich, that is part of a Meal must be made with at least 50 percent whole wheat."
Surprisingly, they haven't yet passed a regulation regarding how many times you must chew each mouthful of government-mandated fruit before you can swallow.
On a tip from Henry.

Dibder's New Music Series: Entry 2
27 Feb 2009, 18:55 by CvaldaVessalisWhat a difference a month makes, eh? I don't know about you but 2009 has been quite the shit year so far; if it's not personal upheavals at home/work, then it's another natural disaster, civil uprising or celebrity succumbing to cancer flooding the news. This alongside having to contend with intellectually reprehensible Reality TV shows that, in spite of all of their horribleness, remain compulsively watchable. And if I even begin to start on American Idol, I'll never finish, so... It was also, of course, awards season too, one which saw Coldplay, Duffy and A.R. Rahman (with the rather fabulous Slumdog Millionaire score) in particular hoover up the competition and leave the full bag outside for the crows to slowly rip apart. With all this in mind, I'm keen to treat the end of February as the unofficial start to the new year, complete with a brand new iPod Classic and thirty albums to listen to. Those brave enough to read what I have to say can find the critiques below for their sleep-inducing pleasure... you have been warned!

Holden Caulfield At 50
By William Hageman, Tribune Staff Writer
February 23, 2001
Ask a group of high school students about John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath," and you won't get much response. "Huckleberry Finn" doesn't ignite much of a fire either. "The Old Man and the Sea"? Yawns. But mention "The Catcher in the Rye," and you've got their attention. J.D. Salinger's iconoclastic novel -- it's marking its 50th anniversary this year, having been published by Little, Brown in July 1951 -- is still seducing high school -- and college-age readers, something few...

Guy Lodge and Variety
July 7, 2014
Junkie life is as chicly miserable as its most vapid chroniclers have always had us believe in " Asthma ," a feature directorial debut from actor Jake Hoffman that is sorely in need of its own inhaler. Taking a perversely slow approach to fast living, Hoffman's film glumly examines the trail of all-purpose destruction left by New York heroin addict Gus (Benedict Samuel) on a weekend bender, but can't resist having it both ways, as his scuzzily narcissistic lifestyle is also shown to have...

`Catcher' Turns 50

March 1, 2001
I was thrilled to read about "The Catcher in the Rye" ("Holden Caulfield at 50," Tempo, Feb. 23). Just last week, I went to grab a book off the shelf for a flight to Chicago, and initially reached for "The Grapes of Wrath." I saw "Catcher" and picked it up for the first time in 20 years. Author J.D. Salinger has brilliantly crossed the generational divide by showing us life from the perspective of an adolescent. Every adult should read this novel for an insight into the problems and questions that teenagers...

Teenager Responds
By Mary Jane Kunnath
January 22, 1994
Virtually every day I read the Tribune's heart-breaking articles on teenage pregnancy, children with AIDS, breakdown of the family, rise in venereal disease, etc. On Jan. 11, I was astonished to see on page one of KidNews an entire column reporting who among the adolescent media idols was living with whom, or who is no longer living with whom, or who was hoping to live with whom. What flagrant hypocrisy. As that immortal teen Holden Caulfield might have said, "It would make you puke."

Holden C. -- and you and me
By Julia Keller, TRIBUNE CULTURE CRITIC
January 30, 2010
For anyone who ever stuffed a dusty, heavily underlined copy of "The Catcher in the Rye" in a backpack and left it there a long time, so that it could work its subversive magic even when you weren't actually reading it, the news of J.D. Salinger's death Thursday was a shock -- but not just because, given Salinger's reclusiveness, few realized he was approaching his life's last page. It was a shock because the obituaries said he was 91. Ninety-one! No way, many readers surely thought.

The British Broadcasting Corp. crew wouldn't talk about what they were doing there. But according to Mike Murnane of the Illinois Film Office, what attracted them was the rye--as in "Catcher." They needed a field of rye to stage a scene from J.D. Salinger's classic novel, said principal Charles Lamb. The title of the book...
'Catcher in the Rye' author J.D. Salinger dies
By From news services
January 29, 2010
J.D. Salinger, the legendary author, youth hero and fugitive from fame whose "The Catcher in the Rye" shocked and inspired a world he increasingly shunned, has died. He was 91. Salinger died of natural causes at his home Wednesday, the author's son said in a statement from Salinger's literary representative. He had lived for decades in self-imposed isolation in the small, remote house in Cornish, N.H. "The Catcher in the Rye," with its immortal teenage protagonist, the...
Three unpublished J.D. Salinger stories leaked online: reports

November 28, 2013
(Reuters) - Three unpublished stories from reclusive U.S. author J.D. Salinger have been leaked online, with the source apparently an unauthorized book that sold on eBay, Internet news source BuzzFeed reported on Thursday. It was difficult to trace the origin of the collection called "Three Stories," with the only known copies of the stories existing in research libraries at the University of Texas and Princeton University, it said. The stories are "The...

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is whether I liked "The Catcher in the Rye" during my lousy childhood and all that kind of crap that people are talking about just because some famous writer died, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, I didn't even read the whole book, and in the second place, I was not totally bawling when I heard about J.D. Salinger. Am I supposed to commit suicide or...

For decades, Hollywood has been trying to secure the rights to the stories of J.D. Salinger. Thankfully, they have failed, which is why we haven't yet been subjected to a film version of "The Catcher in the Rye" starring Macaulay Culkin as Holden Caulfield, or a movie of the week titled "Franny and Zooey: The Early Years." But just because Salinger is too wise to let his stuff go doesn't mean that every so often a desperate screenwriter doesn't turn out a script that is described as...

The most common question brides ask during the early stages of their wedding planning is: "How many bridesmaids are too many?" Not only does it depend on who you want standing by your side on one of the biggest days of your life, but also on the size of your wedding, venue and budget. The traditional rule of thumb is to have one bridesmaid per 50 guests, but what if you want more than that? You can always delegate honors to your friends by asking them to help coordinate the bridal shower or bachelorette party, sing during the ceremony or prepare a toast for the reception. Most will understand if you have to choose family first. When it comes to working out your bridesmaid budget, consider if your bridesmaids will pay for their dresses, shoes, accessories or hair and makeup. You certainly will have to give a thank you gift to all your leading ladies as a token of appreciation, but keep in mind that the larger the number of bridesmaids, the harder it may be for you to manage.
How many ladies will be standing by your side? Let us know in the poll below!

Transfer news: Gus Poyet hopes to sign Santiago Vergini on a permanent deal
Sunderland manager Gus Poyet has revealed that he hopes to make a permanent move for on-loan defender Santiago Vergini.
Last Updated: 14/05/14 12:24pm
The Argentine has been a prominent figure in Poyet's side since joining from Estudiantes in January - making 21 appearances in all competitions.
After making a slow start to life as a Black Cats player, the Uruguayan boss believes the defender has made huge strides since joining - admitting that he played out of position for the majority of his spell.
"(Vergini's) form pleases me a lot for different reasons," he told the Journal.
"Firstly because I brought him here but also because I know him as a person and a player and I know how important it was for him to succeed in England.
"He was playing out of position so it is even more impressive what he has done. If you know the player and how much he is willing to play, you want to give him that opportunity.
"Everything came at the same time for us - Phil (Bardsley) was suspended, Celustka was injured and Craig Gardner was ill so he was the only option as a right-back. I saw him two or three times there so gave him the opportunity," Poyet added.
"It was almost unfair on him because if he plays badly there, it might kill him. He didn't and you have to give him an incredible amount of credit.
"He deserves it, he's a terrific lad and it will be nice to sit down after we've finished the season and have a good chat with him."
Along with Vergini, doubts have surrounded the long-term futures of Jack Colback, Phil Bardsley and Sebastian Larsson.
However, it is understood that the trio are currently locked in talks with Sunderland - with the Wearside club hoping to conclude negotiations quickly.

Liberty Scores Season-High 97 in Win at Longwood
Liberty's defense held Longwood without a made field goal for a 10:24 stretch of the first half, breaking open Saturday afternoon's women's basketball game with a 30-3 run during that time. The Lady Flames' offense did the rest of the work, setting season-highs for field goal percentage (60.3) and points scored during a 97-56 victory over the Lancers at Willett Hall.
The Lady Flames' ninth straight road win, combined with Winthrop's 84-69 home loss to Campbell, gives Liberty sole possession of first place in the Big South Conference standings at 10-2. Tolu Omotola (19 points) led five Lady Flames in double figures as Liberty improved to 18-6 overall on the year.
Longwood, which was limited to 25 percent (15-of-60) field goal shooting, falls to 9-15 overall and 6-7 in the Big South with its sixth consecutive setback.
After Longwood scored its first two points just 13 seconds into the game on an Erin Neal layup, Liberty responded with a 7-0 run. Omotola's putback layup at 17:37 put the red-clad Lady Flames in front, 7-2.
The Lancers tallied the game's next six points, retaking the lead at 8-7 on Mieke Elkington's three-pointer from directly in front of the Liberty bench at the 14:09 mark.
Liberty then held Longwood without a made field goal for the next 10:24, during which time the Lady Flames outscored the host team, 30-3. Reagan Miller highlighted the prolonged surge with three triples. Fellow Texan Emily Frazier then ended the run with a driving right-handed layup with 3:56 left in the half, making the score 37-11.
Raven Williams broke the Lancers' field goal drought with a three-pointer at 3:45, but Liberty continued to add to its advantage shortly thereafter. Terika Lunsford's jumper from the right corner bounced in 1:57 before halftime, pushing the Lady Flames' cushion to 29 points (45-16).
Longwood then outscored Liberty by an 8-3 margin during the remainder of the opening stanza, making the halftime score 48-24 when Elkington's three-pointer swished through the net as the buzzer sounded.
Liberty shot exceptionally well during the first 20 minutes of play, hitting 62.5 percent (20-of-32) of its field goals and 50 percent (5-of-10) from three-point range. Meanwhile, Longwood made just 21.9 percent (7-of-32) of its first-half field goal tries and 25 percent (3-of-12) of its triple attempts.
Liberty, which outrebounded Longwood during the first half by a 29-13 count, saw 10 different players score points. Miller and Omotola tallied nine points apiece, while Omotola collected seven rebounds before intermission.
Elkington's six points paced Longwood's first-half scoring, on two triples.
Devon Brown and Chelsea Coward went back and forth scoring points to start the second half, as Brown tallied seven of Liberty's first 12 tallies after halftime and Coward accounted for the Lancers' first eight points of the period.
After Coward's three-pointer at 17:13, Liberty went on a 9-1 run. Omotola's layup with 14:39 remaining ended the burst with the Lady Flames on top, 65-33.
The closest Longwood got the rest of the way was 28 points down (77-49), after a pair of Williams free throws at the 8:08 mark.
Liberty outscored the Lancers, 20-7, during the remainder of the game, closing out a 97-56 win. It was the fourth time that the Lady Flames have scored 90 or more points in a Big South game this season, including the second against Longwood.
In addition to its season-high field goal percentage, the Lady Flames also shot 61.5 percent (8-of-13) from beyond the three-point arc and 76 percent (19-of-25) from the charity stripe.
Liberty controlled the area around the basket, racking up sizeable advantages in rebounds (54-25), points in the paint (43-14) and second-chance points (45-9).
The Lady Flames totaled 45 bench points, as five different reserves scored six or more points.
Omotola tied for the game lead with 11 rebounds, completing her seventh double-double of the season. In the process, she became the 10th Lady Flame ever to grab 600 career boards. Omotola is now tied with Moriah Frazee for ninth place on Liberty's all-time list with 601 caroms.
Katelyn Adams also fashioned a double-double for the Lady Flames, consisting of a career high-tying 13 points and 11 boards. It was the redshirt freshman's second career double-double.
Brown chipped in 13 points of her own, while Miller tied her season high with 12 points on 4-of-4 three-point shooting.
Frazier rounded out Liberty's double-digit scorers with 10 points, while dishing out five assists.
Coward scored 14 of her 16 points during the second half to lead Longwood. Elkington chipped in 13 points for the Lancers, highlighted by four made triples.
Liberty will return home for a Thursday evening contest against Winthrop, beginning at 7 p.m. inside the Vines Center. The Eagles currently own second place in the Big South standings, one game behind the Lady Flames at 9-3. Liberty posted a 90-57 win at Winthrop on Dec. 29.
Longwood will wrap up a three-game homestand Thursday at 7 p.m., when Radford visits Willett Hall.

I could name many cases where Russell did not seek justice, but then again I was not his drinking buddy
Worth noting Food Maven does not/will not/cannot sell direct to the public. They supply restaurants, who are facing increases in food costs without ability to raise prices do to market thresholds, schools, institutional food service, and other places that food costs at a large scale is an issue.
They also give a TON (or should I say tons?) of food to local food kitchens, food banks, and other nonprofits who feed those who are going hungry on a daily basis. In Southern Colorado I heard a number around 25,000 people each week don't get to eat 3 meals a day or even every day.
Food Maven is taking food from places like Safeway, King Sooper's, etc... who'd normally let the food go to waste and in some cases literally throw away perfectly good food. They are then selling it to our local restaurants at a killer price that can help them get the margins they need to stay in business.
I don't see this hurting Mike's business. I will always go to a local burger joint for my local burger, and if a model like Food Maven allows a place like say McCabe's get it's buns & fries cheaper for my burger so they can make a profit and still afford to offer a premium product like Callicrate beef well so be it.
For years I managed a small and local Colorado organic farm on the Western Slope. Afterwards I spent years in the corporate world working with the states largest and most influential farmers. I can say, across the board, farming is one of the hardest jobs to do. Mike Callicrate gives a dang good assessment of the Food Maven situation.
I absolutely see how Food Maven's model simply encourages super-markets to continue ordering too much food, and simply allows them to sell it for a profit to restaurants and other businesses which should otherwise be ordering from a smaller and local farm. All under the guise of environmental responsibility.
Thanks Mike for a good read and another perspective on this discussion.
Callicrate: "outspoken community voice ". Why "outspoken"? Sounds derogatory. And yet Callicrate's appraisal of Food Maven - a for-profit distributor of otherwise wasted produce - shows how this predatory non-profit is undermining local farmers. Yes, the consumer wants low-cost food, but at the same time, the informed consumer wants high-quality food. The govt subsidizes low-cost food, but the local farmer, unsubsidized, cannot produce high-quality food at the low cost consumers demand and are accustomed to receiving. The enemy of the local small farmer has historically been the govt, which supports Big Ag and its environmentally destructive farm practices. And now the small local farmer has a new enemy to compete with - the "socially responsible" "do gooders" like Food Maven.
America has been conned by the PT Barnum of our time. Promising both sides they will get what they want is the mantra of a true huxter and many in this country fell for it hook line and sinker. Now as he pushes an agenda that endangers everything this country stands for as he sweetens the flow of cash back to the 1% he is a member of. How can anyone even think this man is honest on any level when he has spent his whole life cheating and disenfranchising thousands of people to amass his ill gotten fortune. Now to keep prying eyes from reporting the depth of his corruption he holds the press and media at arms length while pumping lies out at a rate that is staggering to anyone who still has a sense of what is ethical and good. Yeah I got the message that you don't like Hillary but to put this mentally ill bag of wind in charge of the nuclear codes is nothing short of suicide.
Um the thought of local law enforcemwnt taking on this extra reaponsibility will result in lawless in the forest. Have you ever had to dial 911 lately, "your call is very important to us. Please stay on the line, your call will be answered in the order it was received." Local law enforcement does not have the budget or staffing levels to do this.
The issue is somewhat different than explained. Generally, local control is better than federal control for issues such as parks because the citizens that use the parks are the ones that care the most. Local control is better than federal control because citizens have the ability to meet with local elected officials for any issues.
The threat of hikers being arrested by untrained forest rangers is concerning. There are many recent examples where the threat of enforcement has been used by the U.S. Forest Service against the local hiking community:
---At the public meetings for Jones Park, the U.S. Forest Service prominently displayed signs at every meeting with the penalties (jail time and fine) for hiking in the area. While the public continued to use the area, the threat of enforcement was used as an intimidation tactic. No one was arrested, but why threaten the thousands of users that summer? [even Doug Lamborn was run over by the USFS on this issue - his office did hike in protest of the ban].
---At the Bear Creek Roundtable, the U.S. Forest Service continues to push for enforcement of penalties against local hikers (proposed ordinance against off-trail hiking was recently discussed). The Historic Trail is scheduled for closure this summer, and the U.S. Forest Service maintains that local hikers will be dragged into federal court if they hike off-trail.
In the example cited at Mount Herman, I do not understand why the county sheriff would not be able to enforce a ban on shooting. The law to reimburse local agencies for the cost of enforcement seems reasonable.
Misuse of the power of enforcement is the concern. I prefer local control, supervised by an elected official, to what I have seen by the U.S. Forest Service. The criminal activity cited is: local hikers being off-trail. Not much of a crime except to the federal government. Why not leave this to the discretion of the local sheriff?
So many great memories and lifetime friends were made was just talking about the bar to my sister in law and we both were there but didn't know each other at that time. v Thank you very well written article
Amount of debt... Hmmm rich, wealthy, heaven... Such foolishness, I was hoping that dominionist christian would be defined in this article, what a blowhard.
Patience, really glad you addressed systemic issues in SE in your article. We need more news media that gets to the roots of things, for example, instead of just talking about crime- talking about the root causes of higher crime rates. Thanks for writing!
I appreciate the fact that in your article you also mentioned about Denver Works opening a satellite office in Sand Creek Lbrary. I live in the southeast area of town and every day I see hard working people who really do need work apprenticeship programs.
I also love the fact that Foid Rescue is helping lower economic situations have healthy fresh choices for food and it debunks the myth and stereotype that people in poverty don't want to eat well.
Thanks for the article
Being rich is a sign of God's favor? Is that why your bible says, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into heaven?
Excellent! Many so called leaders don't have the fortitude to point out the true problem, but not only did you do so. You offering the people one of many solutions. That deal directly with the problem. This is what one would call Overstanding. Great job Patience!
Patience is addressing one of the toughest issues in Colorado Springs. Dave Gardner talks about the urban sprawl and why that is a problem but, he doesn't go into detail about why it is happening. What we just witnessed on November 8th had been lying the underbelly of America for the last 8 years. Voters not only felt left out, but they also felt that their ecosystem was being challenged. Patience did a great job of outlining what we've seen and grew up with on a daily basis in Southeast Colorado Springs. This type of reporting can only bring clarity and understanding to the everyday issues we face.
A very well written and informative article about an extremely important issue. The more attention this issue is given hopefully will bring about much needed assistance and positive changes. Patience you are doing an amazing job.
Great thanks to Patience for turning attention to these issues, and most importantly, giving us a way to help right now. I agree with KB Girl above, too many residents of COS drive around not just statistical blights-- but people-- they don't want to see. I am so excited to see Denverworks in our community, helping these young men and women succeed. I hope to see more articles like this in the Indy, and more updates from Food Rescue too, addressing the needs of the SE side, and advancing locally derived solutions.
As a mother of two young African American boys, I relate strongly with this writer. I agree, the responsibility falls upon all of us to raise up Colorado Springs' children in a collectively healthy and socially responsible city. Any city "eye sores" or statistical blights must be owned by every resident, whether north, east, south or west (yes you can join the effort too OCC and Manitou folks!) We are far too comfortable driving around the southeast side of town and turning a blind eye to our black boys who need us all to expect greatness from them. Thank you Patience for drawing attention to our city's Diversity & diverse needs!
Really grateful for Patience covering this news and what it all means for Colorado Springs!

Scareware Writer Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison

He was also ordered to pay $650,000 in forfeiture
A Swedish man was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to selling rogue antivirus software in an international cybercrime ring.
Mikael Patrick Sallnert, 37, was sentenced by Chief U.S. District Judge Marsha J. Pechman in the Western District of Washington. He received a four-year prison sentence and was ordered to pay $650,000 in forfeiture.
Sallnert was a credit card processor in an international cybercrime ring. He sold rogue antivirus software, or
which advertises that it will protect a user's computer from viruses, but instead does the opposite.
About 960,000 people were affected, and the cybercrime ring netted about $71 million from the scheme.
Sallnert was arrested in Denmark in January 2012 and extradited to the United States in March. He plead guilty in August to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and one count of accessing a protected computer in furtherance of fraud.
"Mikael Patrick Sallnert played an instrumental role in carrying out a massive cybercrime ring that victimized approximately 960,000 innocent victims," said Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer. "By facilitating payment processing, Sallnert allowed the cybercrime ring to collect millions of dollars from victims who were duped into believing their computers were compromised and could be fixed by the bogus software created by Sallnert's co-conspirators. Cybercrime poses a real threat to American consumers and businesses, and the Justice Department is committed to pursuing cybercriminals across the globe."
Earlier this year,
Symantec was sued
for allegedly selling scareware.
James Gross from Washington State filed the suit against Symantec in a court in the Northern District of California, hoping that it will turn into a class action covering anyone that has purchased Symantec software. Gross alleges that the firms Registry Mechanic software installed on his computer told him that it had found multiple errors with his machined and after paying the $29.95 for the software, he alleges it did nothing.
