A Decade of Violence
In 2003, General François Bozizé seized control of the government and ruled the Central African Republic (CAR) as president until 2013. During his ten years in power, security and standards of living improved little for civilians as his regime faced armed opposition from multiple factions with varying political and economic grievances and was frequently accused by human rights groups of unlawful killing and torture.
Peace Deals with the Bozizé Government
The government signed successive peace agreements with the various opposition factions in 2007, 2008, and 2011. The terms of the agreements included granting amnesty to rebel fighters, transforming rebel militias into political parties, and integrating some militia members into the national army.
Return to Conflict
The tension between the government and rebels erupted into violence again with accusations that the Bozizé regime failed to meet its promises under the peace agreements. In addition, rebels cited the failure to improve living conditions and Bozizé's victory in deeply flawed elections in 2011 as reasons for returning to war. The rebels benefited from the government's limited control outside the capital, which allowed weapons and fighters to flow across CAR's porous borders.
The Séléka Coalition Forms and Marches on the Capital
In December 2012, rebel groups based in the northeast of the country banded together in a loose coalition known as the Séléka (which means coalition or alliance) with the objective of overthrowing the Bozizé regime. Their advance toward the capital, Bangui, brought violence and instability to the countryside as rebels reportedly looted and committed various acts of violence against civilians, including the forced recruitment of child soldiers. Government armed forces were unable to halt the rebels' rapid progress. Only by calling on military support from Chad and diplomatic intervention from the regional organization—the Economic Community of Central African States (ECCAS)—was the Bozizé regime able to negotiate a ceasefire with the Séléka.
A Failed Peace Deal
In January 2013, the Bozizé government and Séléka rebels finalized a peace deal, known as the Libreville Agreement, which laid out terms for a ceasefire and a three-year power-sharing agreement for a government of national unity. The deal was negotiated under the auspices of the ECCAS with additional support from the African Union (AU) and the United Nations. However, the deal collapsed due to a lack of progress toward the transitional agreement's objectives, limited international monitoring of the agreement, and the determination of the Séléka rebels to capitalize on their battlefield advantages.
The Séléka Takes Power in the Capital
In March 2013, the Séléka coalition resumed hostilities, quickly capturing Bangui and deposing the regime. With the fall of the government and President Bozizé's flight from the country, the state's already weak institutions, including the security forces, collapsed.
Following the Séléka takeover, former rebel commander Michel Djotodia declared himself president and suspended the constitution and parliament, but he was unable to restore stability. Violence and widespread looting of public and private property continued in both the capital and the countryside. Under pressure from regional and international leaders, the new regime agreed to a new transitional governing body and elections scheduled for 2015.
Despite the blueprint for a transitional political system, insecurity remained prevalent throughout CAR. Reports of Séléka rebel factions burning and looting villages and committing acts of violence against civilians indicated a sustained risk of atrocities in many areas of the country.
Atrocities Spread
In an attempt to stem the ongoing violence, interim-President Djotodia formally disbanded the Séléka in September 2013. By this time, however, the coalition's ranks had swelled from an estimated 5,000 to as many as 20,000, including a significant number of soldiers-for-hire from Chad and Sudan. In the absence of central authority with reach outside the capital, the violence continued to escalate, with the former Séléka forces reportedly torturing, sexually assaulting, and killing civilians in addition to plundering and destroying their property.
Self-Defense Forces Emerge
In response to the former Séléka fighters' attacks and the lack of protection by the state, local groups formed self-defense forces known as the Anti-Balaka. These militias have increased the level of violence as they not only battle ex-Séléka forces but also target civilians perceived to be Séléka supporters. While CAR does not have a history of religious factionalism driving violence, the largely Muslim ex-Séléka and the predominantly Christian Anti-Balaka have introduced a new dynamic to this crisis. The divisions are metastasizing and the violence is increasingly group-based and organized. On January 22, 2014, Adama Dieng, the UN Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide, told the UN Security Council that the widespread, unchecked nature of attacks against civilians on the basis of religion or ethnicity "constitutes crimes against humanity." If these attacks are not halted, he said, "There is a risk of genocide."
New Interim Government Formed
Former Séléka leader and interim-President Djotodia resigned in January 2014 under international pressure as the country continued to experience violence against civilians on a wide scale. Following his resignation, Catherine Samba-Panza was selected to serve as interim president. Previously, she led reconciliation efforts following conflicts in the country. Despite the change in leadership, the government of the landlocked nation continues to face limitations of capacity and resources in the face of mounting humanitarian need and sustained insecurity throughout the country.
Violence against Civilians Continues
As targeted attacks against civilians continue, Muslim populations have been driven to find safety in the north of the country or beyond its borders, in some cases under armed protection of French and African Union international stabilization (MISCA) forces. Former Séléka fighters and other militia also continue to be a threat to civilians. Flows of internally displaced persons and refugees have created a de facto division of the country into Muslim and Christian segments, and this sectarian divide raises the possibility of a more permanent division of the territory and even partition.
While the level of violence against civilians has dropped from its peak, the risk of group-targeted violence remains high due to continued instability and limited security. Small enclaves of each religious community are under threat from Séléka and Anti-Balaka forces. Recent incidents in Bangui have ignited wider cycles of violence and led to the killing of more civilians, demonstrating how volatile the situation remains.

9 Year Old Sent Home From School For Shaving Her Head
KUSA TV in Denver recently reported that 9 year old Kamryn Renfro of Grand Junction decided to shave her head to support her friend, Delaney Clements who was undergoing chemo for cancer. When Kamryn arrived at school the next morning, she was sent home because she was in violation of the school's dress code.The school in question is the charter school, Caprock Academy where the Chairman of the Board said that the dress code is designed to promote uniformity and a non-distracting environment. She also said that exceptions can be made under extraordinary circumstances. Is this considered an extraordinary circumstance?
On the "Ethan and Lou Show" this morning there was some discussion and disagreements regarding how the school handled the situation. I've attached a couple of mp3 files from this morning's show. We're bringing this controversy back on Wednesday's show with a call to the Principal at Caprock Academy.

Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth's '90210' Reunion Is All Wet
Nothing like a sudden downpour to bring a couple of old colleagues closer together.
While filming an episode of the hit CW series 90210 today, Jennie Garth (a/k/a Kelly Taylor) and Tori Spelling (a/k/a Donna Martin) were caught in an uncharacteristic Los Angeles storm. (Didn't anyone tell Mother Nature that it never rains in Southern California?)
Lucky for Tori, who recently signed on for the revamp of '90s TV classic Beverly Hills, 90210, Garth was gracious enough to share her umbrella with her newly reunited castmate.
You just know that Brenda Walsh would have totally left Tori out in the rain. ANd maybe poked her in the shin with the umbrella tip.

Syrian foe killed in Beirut bombing
Page Tools
Beirut: An anti-Syrian politician was killed yesterday when a bomb ripped through his car in Beirut, two days after parliamentary elections ended with victory to an alliance that opposed Damascus's role in Lebanon.
Witnesses and security sources said George Hawi, a former leader of the Lebanese Communist Party, died instantly in the blast in the Wata Musaitbi neighbourhood of the Lebanese capital.
"The car kept going and we then saw the driver screaming and he jumped out of the window," witness Rami Abu Dargham said. "We rushed to the car and saw Hawi in the passenger seat with his guts out."
The BBC reported that large crowds gathered at the site of the blast, making it difficult for police to cordon off the area.
The bomb was apparently placed under the passenger seat of Mr Hawi's Mercedes and was detonated by remote-control, security sources said. The driver escaped serious injury.
It was the second killing of an anti-Syrian figure in Beirut this month. Newspaper columnist Samir Kassir was killed on June 2 when a similar explosion destroyed his car.
Mr Hawi's killing came two days after the end of Lebanon's parliamentary election, which was won by an anti-Syrian alliance led by Saad Hariri, son of a former prime minister, Rafiq Hariri, who was killed in a truck bomb last February. They were the first democratic elections to be held in Lebanon after 29 years of Syrian occupation.
The Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, expressed shock at Mr Hawi's death.
"We are stunned," he said. "With every achievement by the Lebanese state, we see that there are those who want to target security and send messages of this sort."
Mr Hawi, a Christian, was a Syrian ally for years but recently joined the anti-Syrian opposition and criticised Damascus's interference in Lebanese affairs.

The PLO leadership again criticised the Islamic group for refusing to accept the PLO's traditional role as the supreme representative of Palestinians.
Unlike other Palestinian factions, Hamas refuses to join the PLO.
Hamas politicians later said the parliament would meet on Saturday to approve the new cabinet.
Hamas' nominee for foreign minister, Mahmoud Zahhar, said the PLO's statement was irrelevant.
"Nobody can make demands on us at this moment," he said.
The group presented its list of ministers to Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas last week.
The proposed team includes technocrats, but is dominated by Hamas members after the militant movement failed to win any coalition partners.
The cabinet is expected to be approved by the Palestinian Legislative Council because the militant group won 74 seats of the 132 contested in the elections.
The spokesman for Hamas' bloc in parliament, Salah al-Bardawi, said the Islamist group's leaders had met Mr Abbas and had agreed that parliament would convene at the weekend.
"We have agreed with President Abu Mazen [Mahmoud Abbas] to do it on Saturday," he said.
The date of the session is expected to be formally confirmed after parliamentary Speaker Aziz al-Duwaik meets Mr Abbas.

West drops All-Star Game 6-5
Erickson & Magnifico enjoy All-Star experience
By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers | June 18, 2013 7:33 PM ET
The West rallied for three runs in the top of the ninth inning, but the East won the 2013 Midwest League All-Star Game in Dayton, Ohio 6-5 on a walk-off single by Dalton Pompey.
Wisconsin Timber Rattlers manager Matt Erickson was in charge of the West division team that wound up on the short end of the score, but he still enjoyed the experience. "It was a great night. It was a pleasure to be a part of it," Erickson said. "We jumped on them early. Our starting nine is a pretty talented group. We got a bunch of hits early."
The West grabbed a 2-0 lead in the top of the third inning on a double by Dan Vogelbach of Kane County and a sacrifice fly by Jorge Polanco of Cedar Rapids.
The West carried that lead to the bottom of the fifth. That's when Erickson turned to one of his own pitchers in Damien Magnifico.
"I was just trying to go out there and light up the radar gun," said Magnifico. "Just let it loose and have fun with it. Of course, I face Tyler Ogle, who I know from OU, first batter. I was just out there trying to throw fastballs to him."
Magnifico did a little more than throw fastballs. "I think he grew up a little bit over the course of the first half because he said exactly that. He was going to go out there and let it fly and he actually pitched," noted Erickson. "He didn't get ahead. He was down 2-1. He threw a nice 2-1 slider to get back to even. Then, he broke a bat."
That broken bat allowed Magnifico to retire his former Oklahoma teammate on a grounder to third.
Gustavo Pierre was next and he sent a grounder that deflected off Magnifico's leg and turned into a 1-4-3 putout. Magnifico came out of the game after that batter, but it was all part of the plan. The big right-hander laughed it off after the game.
"It just grazed my shin. It wasn't nothing bad," he said. "It felt kind of cool having a kick save."
The East would rally after Magnifico left the game. A sharp grounder to second should have been the third out to get Jordan Jankowski and the West out of the frame, but an error kept the inning alive.
The next two batters singled, with the second single knocking in the first run of the game for the East. A walk loaded the bases. Then, Devon Travis, the West Michigan outfielder who happens to be leading the Midwest League, in hitting cracked a bases-clearing triple to put the East up 4-2.
"I guess it doesn't matter what type of game you're playing," said Erickson. "The error is going to come back and hurt you."
The East added a run in the bottom of the seventh inning to take a 5-2 lead.
The West was still down by that score heading to the top of the ninth. Erickson had a feeling his squad would make a comeback. "I told the third base umpire, 'You watch. We're going to load the bases here and make it interesting.' And sure enough we load the bases and we get a couple of big knocks."
The first three batters reached on a walk to Tyler Marlette, an infield single by Breyvic Valera, and a walk to Jabari Henry. Niko Goodrum got the West to within a run with a two-run single. Henry scored the tying run later in the inning on a wild pitch.
"We couldn't get that go ahead run in there," Erickson noted. "Then, they come back and get that run there."
That run came on a 3-2 pitch with two outs in the bottom of the ninth. Had Pompey not driven in the winning run, the game would have ended in a tie after nine innings as both teams were out of pitching.
The loss, did not dampen Erickson's enthusiasm. "Just a great night for everyone involved," he stated.
The 8,746 on hand at Fifth Third Field would agree.
Magnifico is looking forward to the second half. "The first half I was learning a routine," he stated after the game. "Now, I got my routine down so the second half should be more fun for me just going out and pitching instead of worrying to do certain stuff. I'm just going to go out there and pitch."
When asked which players stood out to him on Tuesday night, Erickson went right to the top, as in Carlos Correa of Quad Cities, the top pick in the 2012 draft.
"We got to play him a couple of times in the first half and he made some really nice plays," said Erickson. "Today, just watching him through batting practice and his overall demeanor; the character of the kid matches his talent level. He's going to be something special."
As Erickson finished his thoughts on Correa, he looked out at the postgame fireworks display and noticed Wisconsin native and Cedar Rapids Kernels outfielder Adam Brett Walker standing by the rail enjoying the show. All Erickson said was, 'That kid….Wow!"
He also reflected on the play of Brandon Drury, the third baseman for the South Bend Silver Hawks. Drury was involved in two pivotal plays in the game.
"Drury had the double in the ninth to set up their rally," said Erickson. "Plus, he made the play of the game when he robbed [Dario] Pizzano of a hit to get an out at the plate when we were trying to push for more runs early in the game."
That game saving play came in the top of the sixth inning as the West tried to rally back after falling behind in the bottom of the fifth. The West had the bases loaded with one out and Pizzano was at the plate. Drury was playing even with the bag at third. He snared a wicked one hopper with a lunge to his left and threw to the plate for a force out. The West did not cash in for any runs in the sixth.
When asked if there was anything else he wanted to say about the All-Star experience, Erickson responded with, "Let's enjoy the fireworks."
And get ready for the second half.

Information developed by the Wayne County Sheriff's Office working on a drug case Wednesday led to a spur-of-the-moment drug raid at 6:30 p.m. in the parking lot of Hardee's Restaurant in Rittman.
In what Rittman Police Chief Larry Boggs characterized as "Wayne County's version of COPS," seven law enforcement vehicles and 10 peace officers representing the Rittman Police Department, Wayne County Sheriff's Office, Medway Drug Enforcement Agency and the Wayne County Prosecutor, simultaneously converged on the fast-food restaurant at 1005 E. Ohio Ave. to interrupt what Boggs said was an alleged drug buy.
"We had six people on the ground in the parking lot," said Boggs. "We hit so fast that one guy still had the (drug) money in his hand."
Six people -- four from Akron and two from Wooster -- were detained and questioned in the incident, and later released from the Rittman Police Department. While names of the suspects were not released pending action by the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office and the Wayne County Grand Jury, Boggs said there were two female and two male suspects from Akron and two male suspects from Wooster.
Confiscated by law enforcement officers, Boggs said, were one-eighth ounce of cocaine and an unknown quantity of liquid LSD, as well as a 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis.
Boggs said the drugs were apparently intended for the Wooster area, with the Akron suspects allegedly making a delivery to the Wooster residents.
"This was an operation that was put together very quickly, on a moment's notice," said Boggs. "We got something to happen real quick. To me, it was a significant event." Boggs said he was pleased with how well the various law enforcement agencies were able to coordinate their efforts, given a short time frame in which they had to work.
"This," said Wayne County Sheriff Thomas Maurer, "is why we formed a task force two years ago, so that we could coordinate in situations just like this."
All of the police agencies involved cooperate in the County Drug Task Force formed with Medway to share information and resources in a cooperative drug enforcement effort.

Atomic Aquatics Frameless Mask
I mainly use my mask for taking pictures while snorkeling. It has an incredible range of vision so I can identify underwater life quickly. I have a narrow face and chose the smaller fitting mask. No leaks! And no my children's masks!! I've also used my mask in our swimming pool to check the liner. Love this mask!

I bought this to replace a cracked Oceanic Ion 3 mask. I had very high hopes and expectations for this mask because everyone I know raves about it. It seems to be almost universally loved so I was looking forward to trying it. It fits okay but it doesn't fit as well as I had been expecting. I ended up keeping the Atomic Sub Frame mask and that is my primary one and I absolutely love it. This isn't a bad mask by any means but for me, it just wasn't what I had hoped for. The fit isn't perfect and it's not as comfortable as I had been hoping.

Field of view is outstanding. The soft area around the nose pocket is an area I had trouble with in the past. This mask is excellent in that respect as the comfort is great, and I can use it for extended times because of the fit and non leaks. Glad I went ahead and purchased this mask based on the reviews here.
I love this mask; it's made with quality materials and fits nicely. However, it constantly leaks and when I dive head first or look up to the surface it seriously floods. I'm considering switching to my Mares mask (a backup).

Does Nokona make a First Base Mitts for a seven year old? What size do you recommend?
All of Nokona's First Base Mitts are adult sized. For a 7 year old, I would probably recommend a youth sized 11.5" First Base Mitt.
My son is 6 and I am looking between the BC1050C Youth and the Alpha Select S100. Between the two, which would you recommend and why? Also, at what age would he likely need to move up to a larger size? Thanks.
We recommend a 9.50" to a 10.00" glove for a six year old player. The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series (BC1050C) runs smaller and would be better for a young player. The Nokona Alpha Select S100 will range in size and could be too large. Typically players will move up to a larger size every two seasons depending on the size of the player.
Hello, both of my boys are left handed and they both played the outfield position. One will turn 10 and the other 7 next year. Is this the glove for them?
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1050C Youth would be a great choice for your seven year old son. We recommend a slightly large glove for your ten year old such as the Nokona Alpha Select Series: S200.
Which Nokona 10.5" inch youth glove is lighter? My son is 6 yr old. Big for his age and current plays with a 10 inch. Would you recommend this glove? Will it be too heavy?
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1050C Youth uses walnut leather, for a slightly heavier feel. The Nokona Alpha Select Series: S100 is lighter, and would be a great glove for his age.
I'm twelve and I have a 12 inch Nokona Black Shadow, is this a good glove for me?
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1050C Youth is going to be a great glove, but if you are using a 12.00" glove now this glove is going to be too small.
I am a pitcher in high school, but I also play some infield. Should I get this glove or a bigger model?
Being the the Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1050C Youth is a youth glove, it is going to have smaller hand stalls that likely will not comfortably fit the hand of a high school player. I would look for a 12.00" glove like the Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1200C (AMG1200BCCW).
I have a 5 1/2 year old. Does this glove fit that age group?
Being a 10.5" youth glove, the Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1050C would be a good choice for a player between 6 and 8 years old.
My son is 11 years old and plays infield and outfield on a travel team. What is the best size Nokona suited for both positions and is this glove going to be too heavy for him?
A 12.00" Nokona should be the best size for a utility model. It may seem a little heavy, but if it is too heavy you can always return it at no cost to you.
Is this glove a good size for a small 6 year old who plays shortstop year round?
Typically a six year old would use a 9.50" glove. However, the Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1050C Youth runs small and should work great for a young player.
When you compare the BC1050C to the AMG1100KMT, is the BC built for a smaller hand than the AMG? My wife has a small hand. We have tried other manufacturers' youth gloves, and they still seem too big, especially the finger slots. What are your thoughts on this question? Thank you.
Yes, the Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1050C Youth is made for a smaller hand than the Nokona Buckaroo Series: AMG1100KMT. I would suggest you take a look at our female fastpitch gloves. These gloves are designed with a smaller palm and thinner finger slots to fit a females hand better.
I have used Nokona glove treatment on many gloves, Nokona brand and others, but I am thinking about using straight pharmaceutical anhydrous lanolin instead. What are your thoughts on using pharmaceutical anhydrous lanolin on a Nokona Bloodline mitt? Also, has Nokona discontinued using the maroon Bloodline leather?
Many baseball players use lanolin-based products like shaving cream to help break-in a new glove. Since anhydrous lanolin naturally repels water, it is commonly found in leather and shoe polishes. It may not work as well as Nokona's glove conditioner, but would be safe to use.
My son is turning 9 in January. He is small. 65lbs. Great infielder. I just purchased your buffalo 1050 youth glove but after taking it out of the box it looks smaller than I expected. He plays mostly travel ball. Would you recommend a larger size or should I keep him with this for a couple years then go bigger. Also I have a 1200 walnut glove with a Velcro wrist strap. Is it possible to get that strap on say a 1100 or 1150 glove? I want the lightest glove with that wrist strap. Can I get that?
For a 9 year old utility player, an 11" glove is the most common size. The most popular 11" youth gloves that feature a Velcro strap are: Mizuno Prospect Series: GPL1103, Mizuno Prospect Series: GPP1102, Rawlings Player Preferred Series: PP110BC, and Akadema Rookie Series: AJT99.
Do you have this glove with an open web? My son plays second base and would prefer an open web.
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1050C Youth glove will only come with the basket web. This is the only youth model Nokona glove we currently have in stock. There is an adult Nokona size 11" with a Modified T Web. Here it is: Nokona Buckaroo Series: AMG1100KMT
Which would you recommend for a small six year old? The Nokona BC1050C Youth or the Nokona AMG1100KMT, will that one work and potentially get more years out of it?
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1050C Youth would be a better option for a small six year old. A Youth model will have a smaller wrist opening as well as finger stalls. Nokona runs small, so this size should be fine for the player.
Curious about which glove would be better for an above average 8 year old. Loves to stay outside and throw and catch. I've been looking at the Shoeless Joe Joe Junior Series: 1000JR Youth and the Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1050C Youth. If there would be be a better option than I'd like to hear it.
Both are good gloves, but if durability is a key component, the Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1050C would be recommended as it will be more durable than the Shoeless Joe.
My son is left handed...turning 7 in Nov...weighs about 45lbs...49"...what size glove would you recommend?
A 10.5" glove is the most common size for a 7 year old utility player.
Is it possible to get owners name engraved and does this glove come in black leather?
Unfortunately, we do not have the capabilities to customize gloves. The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1050C is only available in the colors shown on the website.
Is this glove to big for a 6 year old? He is about 44 inches tall.
We recommend a 9.50" to a 10.00" bat for a six year old. However, Nokona gloves do run small and should be fine for your son. Keep in mind we offer a 100 day guarantee on our gloves. If you are not completely satisfied you may return it for any reason for a full refund or exchange.
Do you know the weight of this glove (in ounces)?
Unfortunately, glove weight is not considered a key selling point by the manufacturers and this is something that is not measured for.
My son will be 8 in about a month and I am looking to upgrade his glove. He will be playing mainly 3rd base. 10.5 sounds really small. Is this size glove too small for my son?
The average size glove for an 8 year old is 10.5" to 11". A 10.5" glove is a good size for an 8 year old, but if you want more than one year of use, I may recommend moving up to an 11" model.
What all around Nokona glove do you recommend for a 11 year old - the BC1050 youth looks good but for a smaller 7 year old hand and I am afraid he will be out of it and for the money I want it to last.
The BC1050C Youth is too small for an eleven year old. We recommend the Nokona Buffalo Combo Series: BC1150M.
whats the return policy? and how do i get my money back?(check,online credit,ect.)
We have a 100 day return policy on all our gloves. Whether the glove has been broken in or used, if your not satisfied you can return it for a full refund. Just print off the free return label off our website under the customer service tab. Here is the link to the free return label. https://row.ups.com/Ship/DBShip.aspx
My daughter is 6 yrs old. She plays t-ball in a girl's league that uses an 11' softball. Would this glove be too big for her. She has small hands but I feel it would be easier to catch the ball with a bigger glove. She currently has a 10' glove.
If your daughter has been using a 10 inch glove then this Nokona Buffalo Combo Series BC1050C would probably be an okay fit for her. Though this glove may be heavier than most due to the high quality leather that is used.
Hello my 9 yr son plays tourament/league/travel year around, average size kid -- middle infield. I am concerned about the size. He has a Wilson Gold Glove 10 3/4, which i think is too big ,so i assume this would fit great. What do you think? Anyway to measure hand to determine glove size?
Based on his age, we recommend a 11.00" glove. However, if you feel the 10.75" is too big, we suggest going to a 10.50".
My granddaughter will be 8 in July. She plays first and short stop. What glove would you recommend for her?
A 11.50 inch glove would work well for her if she is playing both first base and shortstop. Here is a link to take a look at both a youth model and adult model. Both will be 11.50 inches but the youth model will fit a smaller hand better. http://www.justballgloves.com/compare/
My son is 8. Plays Farm League baseball. Is this glove going to fit him for at least 2-3 years? Would really like to buy him a made in USA glove.
The Nokona Buffalo Combo Series runs a little small. If you want the glove to last a few years, I would go up to a 11.00" to 11.25" glove.
I own 3 Nokona gloves (my wife, daughter and myself) and I'm my wanting to upgrade my son's glove, What size do you recommend? He's 50 inches tall and 12 years old and plays mainly infield.
A 12 year old playing primarily infield would be successful using gloves ranging in the sizes between 11" and 11.50". Here are a couple links to look at for Nokona gloves that would be a good fit for your son. http://www.justballgloves.com/products/size~11.50/?s=nokona http://www.justballgloves.com/product/nokona-buckaroo-series--amg1100kmt/7567/
My son is going to be 7 and is on the larger side for his age. He used a Mizuno prospect series 10.5 last year but I would like to get him a higher quality glove. He will probably be playing infield and some first base. Id like this glove to last a couple years, should I order this glove or go with the 11 inch Nokona ?
This is a high quality glove that will last your son a while. If you want him to be able to grow into this glove and use if for multiple years, I may lean towards the 11 inch model.
My son will turn 9 in March..plays mostly infield although occasional outfield. Plays with a mizuno prospect which I now think is a bit small and I'd like to get him a glove with a shorter break in time as his league starts in a month. He borrowed my Rawlings 11.5 glove today which was a bit large but better. Glove coach says size 11. Is this glove too small for him?
Based on his age we suggest a 11.25. Nokona gloves do run slightly smaller than other brands.
what glove oil do you recommend for Nokona?
We do carry Nokona glove cream. We would recommend using Nokona's glove cream on Nokona's products.
My son has a Rawlings Pro Tapered 11.25.. good glove just maybe a little stiff and big for his small hands as a 9 year old.. mostly concerned about the wieght how does this glove compare to his current Glove in wieght and stiffness?
The Nokona, though I absolutely love this glove, might still be a bit on the heavy side for him. Look into the Rawlings Pro Mesh series, the mesh makes the gloves lighter.

Robert Neville may well be the last living man on Earth . . . but he is not alone.
An incurable plague has mutated every other man, woman, and child into bloodthirsty, nocturnal creatures who are determined to destroy him.
By day, he is a hunter, stalking the infected monstrosities through the abandoned ruins of civilization. By night, he barricades himself in his home and prays for dawn....
Richard Matheson's classic novel has now been transformed by Warner Bros. into a major motion picture starring Academy Award nominee Will Smith. Directed by Francis Lawrence ("Constantine"), the film opens nationwide in December 2007.
Editorial Reviews
Robert Neville has witnessed the end of the world. The world's population has been obliterated by a vampire virus, though Neville has somehow survived. As he toils to make sense of it all and protect himself against the hounding vampires who seek out his life force, Neville embarks on a series of projects to discover the source of the plague and hopefully put an end to the vampires. In a tale that plays with the slippery slope of sanity, Dean makes the perfect choice for a narrator. His powerful performance proves chilling and haunting. As Neville teeters on the edge of sanity, Dean manipulates his tone, speed, emphasis and projection accordingly, making listeners tremble with his narration. While some might rebuke his narration for being too dramatic or providing too much interpretation, Dean's intensity adds to the book in a way that benefits listeners over readers. The visceral nature of his performance evokes the image of a foamy-mouthed Dean growling at a microphone with spittle flying. A Tor paperback. (Oct.)Copyright 2007 Reed Business Information

PART ONE: January 1976
On those cloudy days, Robert Neville was never sure when sunset came, and sometimes they were in the streets before he could get back.
If he had been more analytical, he might have calculated the approximate time of their arrival; but he still used the lifetime habit of judging nightfall by the sky, and on cloudy days that method didn't work. That was why he chose to stay near the house on those days.
He walked around the house in the dull gray of afternoon, a cigarette dangling from the corner of his mouth, trailing threadlike smoke over his shoulder. He checked each window to see if any of the boards had been loosened. After violent attacks, the planks were often split or partially pried off, and he had to replace them completely; a job he hated. Today only one plank was loose. Isn't that amazing? he thought.
In the back yard he checked the hothouse and the water tank. Sometimes the structure around the tank might be weakened or its rain catchers bent or broken off. Sometimes they would lob rocks over the high fence around the hothouse, and occasionally they would tear through the overhead net and he'd have to replace panes.
Both the tank and the hothouse were undamaged today.
He went to the house for a hammer and nails. As he pushed open the front door, he looked at the distorted reflection of himself in the cracked mirror he'dfastened to the door a month ago. In a few days, jagged pieces of the silver-backed glass would start to fall off. Let 'em fall, he thought. It was the last damned mirror he'd put there; it wasn't worth it. He'd put garlic there instead. Garlic always worked.
He passed slowly through the dim silence of the living room, turned left into the small hallway, and left again into his bedroom.
Once the room had been warmly decorated, but that was in another time. Now it was a room entirely functional, and since Neville's bed and bureau took up so little space, he had converted one side of the room into a shop.
A long bench covered almost an entire wall, on its hardwood top a heavy band saw, a wood lathe, an emery wheel, and a vise. Above it, on the wall, were haphazard racks of the tools that Robert Neville used.
He took a hammer from the bench and picked out a few nails from one of the disordered bins. Then he went back outside and nailed the plank fast to the shutter. The unused nails he threw into the rubble next door.
For a while he stood on the front lawn looking up and down the silent length of Cimarron Street. He was a tall man, thirty-six, born of English-German stock, his features undistinguished except for the long, determined mouth and the bright blue of his eyes, which moved now over the charred ruins of the houses on each side of his. He'd burned them down to prevent them from jumping on his roof from the adjacent ones.
After a few minutes he took a long, slow breath and went back into the house. He tossed the hammer on the living-room couch, then lit another cigarette and had his midmorning drink.
Later he forced himself into the kitchen to grind up the five-day accumulation of garbage in the sink. He knew he should burn up the paper plates and utensils too, and dust the furniture and wash out the sinks and the bathtub and toilet, and change the sheets and pillowcase on his bed; but he didn't feel like it.
For he was a man and he was alone and these things had no importance to him.
* * *
It was almost noon. Robert Neville was in his hothouse collecting a basketful of garlic.
In the beginning it had made him sick to smell garlic in such quantity; his stomach had been in a state of constant turmoil. Now the smell was in his house and in his clothes, and sometimes he thought it was even in his flesh. He hardly noticed it at all.
When he had enough bulbs, he went back to the house and dumped them on the drainboard of the sink. As he flicked the wall switch, the light flickered, then flared into normal brilliance. A disgusted hiss passed his clenched teeth. The generator was at it again. He'd have to get out that damned manual again and check the wiring. And, if it were too much trouble to repair, he'd have to install a new generator.
Angrily he jerked a high-legged stool to the sink, got a knife, and sat down with an exhausted grunt.
First, he separated the bulbs into the small, sickle-shaped cloves. Then he cut each pink, leathery clove in half, exposing the fleshy center buds. The air thickened with the musky, pungent odor. When it got too oppressive, he snapped on the air-conditioning unit and suction drew away the worst of it.
Now he reached over and took an icepick from its wall rack. He punched holes in each clove half, then strung them all together with wire until he had about twenty-five necklaces.
In the beginning he had hung these necklaces over the windows. But from a distance they'd thrown rocks until he'd been forced to cover the broken panes with plywood scraps. Finally one day he'd torn off the plywood and nailed up even rows of planks instead. It had made the house a gloomy sepulcher, but it was better than having rocks come flying into his rooms in a shower of splintered glass. And, once he had installed the three air-conditioning units, it wasn't too bad. A man could get used to anything if he had to.
When he was finished stringing the garlic cloves, he went outside and nailed them over the window boarding, taking down the old strings, which had lost most of their potent smell.
He had to go through this process twice a week. Until he found something better, it was his first line of defense.
Defense? he often thought. For what?
All afternoon he made stakes.
He lathed them out of thick doweling, band-sawed into nineinch lengths. These he held against the whirling emery stone until they were as sharp as daggers.
It was tiresome, monotonous work, and it filled the air with hotsmelling wood dust that settled in his pores and got into his lungs and made him cough.
Yet he never seemed to get ahead. No matter how many stakes he made, they were gone in no time at all. Doweling was getting harder to find, too. Eventually he'd have to lathe down rectangular lengths of wood. Won't that be fun? he thought irritably.
It was all very depressing and it made him resolve to find a better method of disposal. But how could he find it when they never gave him a chance to slow down and think?
As he lathed, he listened to records over the loudspeaker he'd set up in the bedroom--Beethoven's Third, Seventh, and Ninth symphonies. He was glad he'd learned early in life, from his mother, to appreciate this kind of music. It helped to fill the terrible void of hours.
From four o'clock on, his gaze kept shifting to the clock on the wall. He worked in silence, lips pressed into a hard line, a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, his eyes staring at the bit as it gnawed away the wood and sent floury dust filtering down to the floor.
Four-fifteen. Four-thirty. It was a quarter to five.
In another hour they'd be at the house again, the filthy bastards. As soon as the light was gone.
* * *
He stood before the giant freezer, selecting his supper. His jaded eyes moved over the stacks of meats down to the frozen vegetables, down to the breads and pastries, the fruits and ice cream.
He picked out two lamb chops, string beans, and a small box of orange sherbet. He picked the boxes from the freezer and pushed shut the door with his elbow.
Next he moved over to the uneven stacks of cans piled to the ceiling. He took down a can of tomato juice, then left the room that had once belonged to Kathy and now belonged to his stomach.
He moved slowly across the living room, looking at the mural that covered the back wall. It showed a cliff edge, sheering off to greenblue ocean that surged and broke over black rocks. Far up in the clear blue sky, white sea gulls floated on the wind, and over on the right a gnarled tree hung over the precipice, its dark branches etched against the sky.
Neville walked into the kitchen and dumped the groceries on the table, his eyes moving to the clock. Twenty minutes to six. Soon now.
He poured a little water into a small pan and clanked it down on a stove burner. Next he thawed out the chops and put them under the broiler. By this time the water was boiling and he dropped in the frozen string beans and covered them, thinking that it was probably the electric stove that was milking the generator.
At the table he sliced himself two pieces of bread and poured himself a glass of tomato juice. He sat down and looked at the red second hand as it swept slowly around the clock face. The bastards ought to be here soon.
After he'd finished his tomato juice, he walked to the front door and went out onto the porch. He stepped off onto the lawn and walked down to the sidewalk.
The sky was darkening and it was getting chilly. He looked up and down Cimarron Street, the cool breeze ruffling his blond hair. That's what was wrong with these cloudy days; you never knew when they were coming.
Oh, well, at least they were better than those damned dust storms. With a shrug, he moved back across the lawn and into the house, locking and bolting the door behind him, sliding the thick bar into place. Then he went back into the kitchen, turned his chops, and switched off the heat under the string beans.
He was putting the food on his plate when he stopped and his eyes moved quickly to the clock. Six-twenty-five today. Ben Cortman was shouting.
"Come out, Neville!"
Robert Neville sat down with a sigh and began to eat.
* * *
He sat in the living room, trying to read. He'd made himself a whisky and soda at his small bar and he held the cold glass as he read a physiology text. From the speaker over the hallway door, the music of Schönberg was playing loudly.
Not loudly enough, though. He still heard them outside, their murmuring and their walkings about and their cries, their snarling and fighting among themselves. Once in a while a rock or brick thudded off the house. Sometimes a dog barked.
And they were all there for the same thing.
Robert Neville closed his eyes a moment and held his lips in a tight line. Then he opened his eyes and lit another cigarette, letting the smoke go deep into his lungs.
He wished he'd had time to soundproof the house. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't that he had to listen to them. Even after five months, it got on his nerves.
He never looked at them any more. In the beginning he'd made a peephole in the front window and watched them. But then the women had seen him and had started striking vile postures in order to entice him out of the house. He didn't want to look at that.
He put down his book and stared bleakly at the rug, hearing Verklärte Nacht play over the loud-speaker. He knew he could put plugs in his ears to shut off the sound of them, but that would shut off the music too, and he didn't want to feel that they were forcing him into a shell.
He closed his eyes again. It was the women who made it so difficult, he thought, the women posing like lewd puppets in the night on the possibility that he'd see them and decide to come out.
A shudder ran through him. Every night it was the same. He'd be reading and listening to music. Then he'd start to think about sound-proofing the house, then he'd think about the women.
Deep in his body, the knotting heat began again, and he pressed his lips together until they were white. He knew the feeling well and it enraged him that he couldn't combat it. It grew and grew until he couldn't sit still any more. Then he'd get up and pace the floor, fists bloodless at his sides. Maybe he'd set up the movie projector or eat something or have too much to drink or turn the music up so loud it hurt his ears. He had to do something when it got really bad.
He felt the muscles of his abdomen closing in like tightening coils. He picked up the book and tried to read, his lips forming each word slowly and painfully.
But in a moment the book was on his lap again. He looked at the bookcase across from him. All the knowledge in those books couldn't put out the fires in him; all the words of centuries couldn't end the wordless, mindless craving of his flesh.
The realization made him sick. It was an insult to a man. All right, it was a natural drive, but there was no outlet for it any more. They'd forced celibacy on him; he'd have to live with it. You have a mind, don't you? he asked himself. Well, use it!
He reached over and turned the music still louder, then forced himself to read a whole page without pause. He read about blood cells being forced through membranes, about pale lymph carrying the wastes through tubes blocked by lymph nodes, about lymphocytes and phagocytic cells.
"...to empty, in the left shoulder region, near the thorax, into a large vein of the blood circulating system."
The book shut with a thud.
Why didn't they leave him alone? Did they think they could all have him? Were they so stupid they thought that? Why did they keep coming every night? After five months, you'd think they'd give up and try elsewhere.
He went over to the bar and made himself another drink. As he turned back to his chair he heard stones rattling down across the roof and landing with thuds in the shrubbery beside the house. Above the noises, he heard Ben Cortman shout as he always shouted.
"Come out, Neville!"
Someday I'll get that bastard, he thought as he took a big swallow of the bitter drink. Someday I'll knock a stake right through his goddamn chest. I'll make one a foot long for him, a special one with ribbons on it, the bastard.
Tomorrow. Tomorrow he'd soundproof the house. His fingers drew into white-knuckled fists. He couldn't stand thinking about those women. If he didn't hear them, maybe he wouldn't think about them. Tomorrow. Tomorrow.
The music ended and he took a stack of records off the turntable and slid them back into their cardboard envelopes. Now he could hear them even more clearly outside. He reached for the first new record he could get and put it on the turntable and twisted the volume up to its highest point.
"The Year of the Plague," by Roger Leie, filled his ears. Violins scraped and whined, tympani thudded like the beats of a dying heart, flutes played weird, atonal melodies.
With a stiffening of rage, he wrenched up the record and snapped it over his right knee. He'd meant to break it long ago. He walked on rigid legs to the kitchen and flung the pieces into the trash box. Then he stood in the dark kitchen, eyes tightly shut, teeth clenched, hands clamped over his ears. Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone!
No use, you couldn't beat them at night. No use trying; it was their special time. He was acting very stupidly, trying to beat them. Should he watch a movie? No, he didn't feel like setting up the projector. He'd go to bed and put the plugs in his ears. It was what he ended up doing every night, anyway.
Quickly, trying not to think at all, he went to the bedroom and undressed. He put on pajama bottoms and went into the bathroom. He never wore pajama tops; it was a habit he'd acquired in Panama during the war.
As he washed, he looked into the mirror at his broad chest, at the dark hair swirling around the nipples and down the center line of his chest. He looked at the ornate cross he'd had tattooed on his chest one night in Panama when he'd been drunk. What a fool I was in those days! he thought. Well, maybe that cross had saved his life.
He brushed his teeth carefully and used dental floss. He tried to take good care of his teeth because he was his own dentist now. Some things could go to pot, but not his health, he thought. Then why don't you stop pouring alcohol into yourself? he thought. Why don't you shut the hell up? he thought.
Now he went through the house, turning out lights. For a few minutes he looked at the mural and tried to believe it was really the ocean. But how could he believe it with all the bumpings and the scrapings, the howlings and snarlings and cries in the night?
He turned off the living-room lamp and went into the bedroom.
He made a sound of disgust when he saw that sawdust covered the bed. He brushed it off with snapping hand strokes, thinking that he'd better build a partition between the shop and the sleeping portion of the room. Better do this and better do that, he thought morosely. There were so many damned things to do, he'd never get to the real problem.
He jammed in his earplugs and a great silence engulfed him. He turned off the light and crawled in between the sheets. He looked at the radium-faced clock and saw that it was only a few minutes past ten. Just as well, he thought. This way I'll get an early start.
He lay there on the bed and took deep breaths of the darkness, hoping for sleep. But the silence didn't really help. He could still see them out there, the white-faced men prowling around his house, looking ceaselessly for a way to get in at him. Some of them, probably, crouching on their haunches like dogs, eyes glittering at the house, teeth slowly grating together; back and forth, back and forth.
And the women...
Did he have to start thinking about them again? He tossed over on his stomach with a curse and pressed his face into the hot pillow. He lay there, breathing heavily, body writhing slightly on the sheet. Let the morning come. His mind spoke the words it spoke every night. Dear God, let the morning come.
He dreamed about Virginia and he cried out in his sleep and his fingers gripped the sheets like frenzied talons.

After seeing the movie, I wanted to know more, so I picked up the book. I discovered this is actually a short story & was totally different than the movie.
Like a lot of books, the story starts out in the present. However, Matheson did not delve into the past's details & when he did, it wasn't quite the chronology I was expecting, which sets this novel apart. Also, I think Matheson portrayed the main character wonderfully! I love that he was so rough & flawed, but this also made the character more real to me. I also enjoyed the sporadic dialogue the main character had with HIMSELF. The dialogue kept the book from being monotonous. Thought-provoking read with enough emotional & scientific-based depth to keep me interested. Not a disappointment.
In 1976, the pandemic plague devastated the earth. Most people died while those who survived were biologically altered into nocturnal blood drinking in-humans. That is everyone except for one remaining purebred Robert Neville never changed as he apparently was immune to the plague. He is the last surviving Homo sapiens, but the converted see him as being different as the monster tied to the dead legendary past who must die. He endures his ordeal through alcohol, but his loneliness is driving him insane as each night he considers giving up until he meets his first non vampire friend since the disease, a dog fearful of him.-------------- This book actually contains a reprint of the 1954 classic novella I AM LEGEND in conjunction with an upcoming movie (note that Vincent Price starred in the 1960s film The Last Man on Earth based on this tale) and ten short stories that are entertaining and well written, but feel like padding to almost double the size of the book. Readers will understand why some of the great horror writers like Stephen King consider this novella one of the best ever as it crosses science fiction with horror yet holds up well because the bottom line is this is a character study of the human need for companionship as well as a Frankenstein like question as to just who is the monster?------------- Harriet Klausner
There were some things I really loved about I Am Legend. First, it is number one on my list for most scientific books about vampires I have ever read. I was surprised to see the book was very different from the Will Smith movie, but I loved this version too. The thing I liked most about the novel (especially compared to the movie) was the ending. The events of the ending portion of I Am Legend really came out of left field for me. I wasn't expecting what happened, at all. It is very much the most important part of the novel. It leaves us with a message, questioning what we have known and what we believe. I thought it was poignant and powerful, and it certainly left me thinking. A superb book, filled with such powerful emotions when pondering the existence of humans. Yes, this book is Legend.
As an avid horror fan and zombie junkie, I totally loved this book. I was at first disappointed by the fact that it was really nothing like the Will Smith movie that was TOTALLY AWESOME! This book is just as great and has a deep insight into the human psyche and what truley being alone could do to it. There was a little bit of everything in this book and at times I found myself terrified, laughing, and even shedding a tear. I highly recommend this book to horror/zombie fans and anyone who likes a good psychological journey as well.
A lone survivor by the name of Robert Neville lives in present day New York, New York. As Robert Neville survives by himself in New York for the last couple of years. He is trying to find a cure for a plague that had killed everyone and turned them into almost vampire creatures. Every single day is a struggle as he tries to survive against these creatures. As the book goes on his life becomes more and more uncontrollable and he himself starts losing his mind. There are many books for people who enjoy action. Some which include some of Stephen Kings writings and many others. My favorite character out of the book would probably be the main character Robert Neville only because everything he goes through in the whole book. Secondly he thinks everything out throughout all of his research and just thinking about it. So as Robert goes on everyday and struggles through his life and as you read on you will find out what happens to Robert himself. So I challenge you to go to your local library or get the book online and read his life. Read his legend. I would recommend this book to others who love and enjoy action.
One of the best vampire novels. One of the best apocalyptic stories. One of the best horror/sci-fi writers ever. He is Legend.
First off, I am Legend the movie is my favorite movie. I waited four years to read the book, and am pleasantly surprised. Matheson obviously put a lot of research and thought into this novel, and it shows. If you liked the movie, you need to read the story as well! They are very different though, like most movies and books of the same title.
So much better than the movie. Hollywood just can't do anything justice anymore.
I first watched the movie, I am Legend with Will Smith. After reading the book, I am now disappointed in the movie. For those who liked the movie, I will warn that the book is much different...but for the better. I enjoyed the little twist at the end of the book. I found I am Legend to be thrilling, frightening, and nicely written. I found it amusing at times, frightening at times, and intelligently written. Richard Matheson is a famous horror story writer and his stories are great. The main character is easy to relate to and the ending is perfect. I recommend this book to people who love horror books and those who enjoyed watching the movie. Warning: if you liked the movie before and read this, you might be disappointed int he movie afterward (I was). It's an easy read and entertaining. There are also a few short stories in the back of this edition. Some I really liked and other were okay. This book will be in my permanent library.
Loved it
Best vampire story ever, hamds down!
Incredible read I saw the movie first then read the book next. Some things were changed in the film and I actually liked the book better. I will be reading a lot more of Mathesons books.
If you're deciding to read the book because you liked the Will Smith movie then you may be disappointed. The movie great but is very pathetically based on the book and in my opinion shouldn't bare the same name. That being said, the book is a good read. I enjoyed following the psychological change of a lone survivor's mind as time went on. One gripe I have that has nothing to do with the story itself is that I purchased and read this on my NOOK before viewing the website and I noticed that the book is supposed to have 320 pages where my ebook only has 149. This may be an oversight on my part but I'm slightly disappointed that I didn't get the short stories after the main novel. If you're reading this review on your NOOK beware.
I loved the movie! My brother keeps on asking me to buy this book so he can read but i said no becaise i do not want to waste my money because i have already read it. I mean who hasn't?
Great book
This story is an exclent story you will love as you join nevill in this emostional post apocoliptic setting puts you at the end of your seet with tissues taking up 50% of your trash can
This reminded me more of the old movie Omega Man than the Will Smith "I Am Legend". Though it greatly differed from the movie I completely enjoyed the story.

Shiftwork, Adjustment Costs and Uncertainty
I study the dynamics of shiftwork when the demand for the output of the firm is stochastic and adjusting the number of shifts entails irreversible costs. The analysis reveals the existence of a gap between the level of demand that triggers activation of a shift and the level of demand that triggers shutting it off. The higher the uncertainty about future demand, the wider this gap. I also analyze in detail the pro-cyclical labor productivity created by the use of shiftwork.

|Home > Sport > League > Article
The Sharks' board was to meet last night, but Rogers said Anderson's remarks to Inside Sport magazine that "if Preston wasn't black, (his relegation) wouldn't have created the media kerfuffle it has", wasn't high on the agenda, if at all.
Campbell's manager yesterday did not rule out the possibility of his out-of-favour client making a decision on his playing future by the end of the week, after the pair yesterday met Manly coach Peter Sharp.
Wests Tigers, two English Super League sides and the NSW Waratahs are also interested in Campbell, whom the Sharks say will be granted a release when the club re-signs former Test half-back Brett Kimmorley.
Regardless of what Campbell does, Rogers said Anderson's comments were not a priority for the board.
"We've got far more important issues to discuss based on finances etcetera," he said.
The Wests Tigers board, meanwhile, will meet tonight to discuss the subject of a 2003 coach. Gary Freeman, Bob Lindner, Tim Sheens and Shane Flanagan remain as front-running candidates.

The Paparazzi Made Dina Lohan Drive Drunk
Dina Lohan was arrested for DUI back in September, and in that time she's managed to hire Lindsay's old moron lawyer Mark Heller who's now using his moron skills to blame the paparazzi for Dina's DUI. And, no, not for chasing her or causing a life-threatening situation, but just for existing in general which is the sole purpose for why she drinks and not, oh I dunno, let's say alcoholism. TMZ reports:
Here's the argument … Dina's lifestyle presents lots of challenges and stress, brought on by the barrage of photogs that follow her. Those stresses caused Dina to down enough alcohol to register a .20 blood alcohol level as she tooled down the road. Short story — it's our fault, not hers.
You may remember Heller. He was literally run out of L.A. after getting fired in the Lindsay Lohan shoplifting case.
In related news, Mark Heller has agreed to take my case and will now sue "all the women" for withholding sexual intercourse causing me to drink heavily and drive haphazardly through elementary schools. There were children in there! How could you?! *runs away crying*

Jorhat, Oct. 7: The Tinsukia district administration has initiated steps to crack down on illegal coal mining in the district under Margherita subdivision bordering Arunachal Pradesh, believed to be the main source of funds for the militant outfits of Assam and Nagaland, including Maoists.
The district administration and police have come together to take stock of the situation and evolve a mechanism to monitor security-related matters of mining done by Coal India Ltd.
Coal India engages private parties, which obtain labour force through contractors.
The moves comes after intelligence reports said militant groups from Assam and Nagaland were getting funds from the slush money earned from the illegal coal business.
There are also reports that the explosives allotted for blasting by Coal India Ltd to private parties end up in the hands of rebels.
A meeting was held at Margherita under the chairmanship of industry and power minister Pradyut Bordoloi on Friday, attended by Tinsukia deputy commissioner S.S. Meenakshi Sundaram, Tinsukia superintendent of police P.P. Singh, DIG (eastern range) P.P. Saikia, commissioner (Upper Assam division) S.I. Hussain and Coal India officials.
It was decided that the local administration, along with the police, would check the records of workers engaged directly by Coal India and records of explosives allotted to the private parties.
Coal India does open cast mining at four locations in the district Tikok, Tirap, Tipong and Borgulai along the Assam-Arunachal border.
The mining areas are in hilly areas surrounded by dense forests and security was entrusted to homeguards armed with .303 rifles.
However, this proved ineffective in preventing illegal mining in the areas by several well-organised gangs under the patronage of outfits like Ulfa, NSCN and very recently, the Maoists.
Sundaram told The Telegraph today that the minister directed the district administration, the police and Coal India to take immediate steps to curb illegal mining and close all illegal bhattas (coal processing units) operating in the district.
According to a confidential report available with the administration, nearly 50 illegal coal units were operating in the district and steps will be initiated by the administration, with the assistance of the police and Coal India, to shut them down.
The deputy commissioner said the meeting expressed concern about reports of rebels infiltrating the illegal coal trade and getting a share of the trade.
The police, along with district administration officials, will check the antecedents of workers engaged in mining after collecting the records from Coal India, he added.
Moreover, records of explosives allotments would be checked on a regular basis.
It should be ensured that any remaining explosives should be returned to the company.
Sundaram said Coal India had agreed to hire a dedicated force to guard its mining areas to prevent theft of its resources and take prompt action against trespassers.
He said Coal India had agreed to the administrations suggestion to hire the services of the Assam Industrial Security Force.
Hussain said the deputy commissioner and SP of Tinsukia, along with subordinate officials, would hold a security review meeting with the Coal India authorities on a monthly basis to take stock of the measures initiated against the illegal trade.

Improve Gains & Scorch Fat!
Pure Muscle Gain is a performance enhancing bodybuilding supplement that delivers results naturally. The unfortunate aspect of bulking is that you must increase calorie intake (more carbs, fat and protein) which leads to increased body fat. The bulk phase can take many months or years to achieve the results you want. You need fat to balance your hormones to keep your gains high and carbs are necessary fuel. Sure, you could do some aerobic exercise to try and burn fat while you bulk up but that can sometimes set you back. Cardiovascular training has a nasty reputation of causing muscle loss.
Another problem with bulking is if you are on a 1 to 2 year plan (or more) you will not be able to show off your muscle as well. Since your body fat percentage with go up you will not get that ripped look no matter how much muscle you put on. Some describe this body appearance as on out of shape body builder. What good is all that muscle if you can't see it? Well, now you can safely gain mass while burning through the body fat simultaneously with the benefits of Pure Muscle Gain.
What Is Pure Muscle Gain?
The Pure Muscle Gain formula is a scientifically advanced dietary supplement used to improve your gains of lean mass. It helps to increase your power so you can train harder. The increase in metabolism increases your energy so you can train longer. As it helps you build lean muscle it can speed up muscle recovery and repair. This means you will look stronger, feel leaner and get to show of your muscle sooner. It can be tough gaining lean muscle without an immaculate diet or lots of cardiovascular training. However, these come with a price of slowing down the speed of your gains. That is why many pro's use Pure Muscle Gain to get the best of both worlds.
What Is The Science Behind Pure Muscle Gain?
Designed to maximize your results, Pure Muscle Gain is a revolutionary sports nutrition supplement. Lower body fat to muscle ratios are associated with High Protein Levels. As lean muscle mass increases and body fat decreases there is more muscle separation and increased definition. The synthesis of new protein tissues, such as during the muscle recovery and repair process, are promoted by protein.This is the manner in which new muscle can be built. Recent studies suggest that it is involved with body fat metabolism and its conversion into energy. This has been proven through the testing of the medical treatment of obese people.
Professional athletes and body builders have been using protein for years as a means of increasing lean mass. Research has shown it to improve sleep pattern, increase energy and even enhance sexual performance. In addition, it is indicated that protein builders stronger bones and can improve the vitality of heart and kidneys. Pure Muscle Gain can optimize the bioavailability of protein for improved protein synthesis and faster muscle recovery.

The Blue Poppy and the Mustard Seed is the tragic story of Kathleen Willis Morton and her husband, Chris having a longed for baby boy who dies seven weeks later.
