Arctic Sunrise 30 may face extended detention in Russia
The Arctic Sunrise 30 have been held in Russian prisons for 2 months, and the Russian government is preparing hold them for another 90 days.
(updated 11-18-13) 28 Greenpeace activists and 2 reporters may face another 90 days in prison without trial. Russia's Investigative Committee has already begun filing the papers required by Russia's court system to hold the "Arctic Sunrise 30" while they complete their investigation of alleged crimes committed during a protest in September that resulted in the seizure of a Greenpeace vessel named "Arctic Sunrise".
On Saturday, requests for the extended pre-trial detention of 6 activists were filed, and today, Monday, the investigators are getting results in court. We may eventually see all of the Arctic 30 detained for another 90 days, unless unless the rising tide of appeals from celebrities, world leaders and YOU have an effect on the Putin regime. Consider signing the petition.In this video released last week by Greenpeace, we see their ship boarded and siezed by Russian security agents 2 months ago:

Almost 40 years ago, my wife and I bought our first home. As a wet-behind-the-ears Ph.D. economist, I wanted to impress my wife with my knowledge of real estate by stating the "iron law of real estate."
I confidently explained the "law" to her this way. "With a limited budget, people who value space, like square footage, over accessibility to work, shopping and other amenities, buy a home farther out.
One thing I've noticed in my three years here is few things generate a buzz like the prospect of a new chain restaurant coming to the area.
Last week, it was the news that Shallotte Properties LLC submitted arequestto the Shallotte Planning Boardfor a 90-seat Zaxby's Restaurant at 4736 Main St., the site of the former Hardee's and The Grille restaurants.
First this week, I want to thank Jim Moore for inviting me to speak at the South Brunswick Islands Rotary Club meeting last Friday. If his name seems familiar, it's because he often contributes spectacular photos to our sports section.
Secondly, I want to thank the SBI Rotary members for listening to what I had to say. They're a fun bunch — much more lively than I can be during a 7:30 a.m. meeting. I told them when Jim invited me to speak to them, I thought their meetings were at 7:30 at night. It drew a laugh, but I wasn't kidding.

A presidential and gubernatorial election year means lots of uncertainties, especially from an economic and investment perspective. At both the national and state levels, voters are tuned into proposed plans from respective candidates on retirement benefits and Social Security.
It's amazing how time can change perceptions. Frequently we see this with past presidents. Helped by a popular Broadway play and multi-volume biography, President Lyndon Johnson's reputation has undergone a dramatic revaluation. Formerly scorned by many for his role in the Vietnam War, Johnson is now being praised for his legislative accomplishments — most notably civil rights.
During the past few weeks, I've been a party to a robust debate among friends in person and on social media about the merits of all things flavored pumpkin spice and how early is too early to market them to people like me who love them.
It's historically an autumn treat, but it's so delicious and popular, pumpkin spice coffee was already available at Dunkin' Donuts before the end of August — much too soon, some say, given the fact fall doesn't officially arrive until Sept. 22.
The future we were promised may never get here so long as we don't have our flying cars.
Although, the one we got — with the pocket computer/TV/fantasy football draft organizer … I'm forgetting something, give me a sec … oh, and telephone — is pretty good.
That is, unless your fantasy football draft went south. If so, my condolences.
Twitter made headlines in July when it permanently banned a Breitbart editor for inciting a deliberate campaign of harassment against comedienne and actress Leslie Jones, one of the stars of the reboot of the movie "Ghostbusters" which featured women in the lead roles.
Those who fight online bullying by racists and sexists applauded the decision while others decried it, saying Twitter violated Milo Yiannopoulos' right to free speech.

One week down...
...Seven to go
There was not much of any interest to report since my last entry. Randall and I have spent the last week in a training room learning (or in my case, re-learning) the computer reservation system used by the Carlson office here in Singapore. Let's just say that I've probably spent time in less stimulating pursuits, but I'm not sure when.
It didn't help that, once we got on the MRT at 845 AM, we didn't usually see the light of day until after 6P that same day. The MRT, office building, shopping center, food court are all interconnected; and, there were no windows in the training room.
As regards some of my personal adventures – I never thought I'd say I had trouble boiling water. Earlier this week I attempted to heat water in order to boil some pasta. This apartment has an induction heater for a stove top. I did remember to turn on the switch to get power to the hob (stove top). Then the adventure started – how to actually power up the "burners".
After some experimentation I finally figured it out, put the lid on the pan of water and went to the living room to work on the computer (maybe 20 feet away). I'd not been sitting down for more than five minutes when the pan lid rattled and water poured over the edge. Water, water everywhere. The stove top automatically shut off. Once I cleaned up the spill, I could not get it to come back on. So, the pasta was cooked in the microwave. That I had no problem figuring out. It may be awhile before I try any stove top cooking again.
On Friday night Randall & I met up with Donna, the Training Manager in the Singapore office. We went out for dinner with her and got a feel for what to expect during the upcoming weeks. Next week we'll be in training again for CWT processes and procedures. Once that is done I'll be working on the same account I did in 2010.
Our U.K co-workers arrived Friday night. This time around there are eight of them and only two from the U.S.
This morning (Saturday) we all have to troop over to a medical clinic to get checked out as a condition of obtaining our work visas. After that the plans are a bit up in the air. I am evidently the only one who's been here before, so they're all anxious to get some sightseeing in.
I did find out what the two humpback buildings are down by the Singapore Flyer. They are conservatories for the new botanical gardens, which are not yet opened.

MANAGING director Mitchell Koroneos was right to suspect that "increased overheads" from poker machines were partly responsible for his Victorian hotel chain struggling financially in recent years.
But Mr Koroneos was unaware those "overheads" were loose change compared to the almost $8 million his trusted administrative manager Wendy Hope Jobson had stolen to gamble on pokies online.
The employee of 16 years with the Koroneos Group he had regarded as reliable, confident and friendly who "never made mistakes" had taken the money over almost five years until a year ago.
After police arrested Jobson on November 28 and told her banking records indicated the amount taken she responded: "Gee, that's scary. I didn't know that."
"Oh my God. Really? I had no idea. I didn't know," she told detectives.
She admitted she "absolutely just fell into" two internet games, including one called Doctor Love, "and I would just lose myself".
When one officer conceded she may not have been aware how much she had gambled, Jobson replied: "No wonder they (the internet gambling site) thought I was a good customer."
"God help me. Does Mitchell know it's that amount?"
Detective: "He does now."
Jobson: "What did he say?"
Detective: "He was very upset."
Jobson: "He'd be devastated."
No wonder they thought I was a good customer.
Jobson, 50, of Werribee, on Tuesday pleaded guilty in Melbourne Magistrates Court to more than 1400 charges of theft.
In a police statement, Mr Koroneos – whose company runs four hotels south-west of Melbourne – said he never suspected Jobson and thought the financial problems stemmed from renovations and increased bank fees and poker machine overheads.
Magistrate Peter Reardon heard how from 2005 Jobson's position allowed her access to the group's 12 bank accounts from which she transferred money into her personal account.
She told police the "reality was not there for me to understand of what I was doing" and that she attended courses to help gamblers "but I never thought that that was me".
Jobson admitted she took overseas trips, including a first class flight to America on frequent flyer points, but never took company money to pay for something for herself.
"But taking it out to gamble, that didn't fuss," she said.
Jobson was bailed to appear next month in the Supreme Court.

Day 4
So, this morning I checked out of my first hostel and I went directly to the train station at Kings Crossing and picked up a ticket for tomorrow to Edingurgh!!
My plan is to arrive and in the morning start this 3 day back packing tour in the highlands. This will certainly be a huge change of pace.
I really didnt do a whole lot today...I did have the most amazing fish and chips. I spent a lot of time visiting the national museum. Almost everyday I am in these museums and I get very tired from the sleeping pattern change I am in. So yesterday and the day before I took naps on the nice leather couches. A lot of people do it, so you dont have to worry. I was safe.
I was feeeling a bit lonely too this day. I think it was because I was out on the city with no accomodation and no one to hang out with. I still need to get my feet wet with these kinds of feelings. But almost like someone sent for me I met someone in the museum from NYC and I started to feel much better.
Come to find out they will be in france traveling for a month when I am!
Luckily I did find accomodation and obviously everything worked out and I didnt have to sleep on a bench.
Toward the end of the night I was walking up and down the river Thames seeing the beuaty of London at night. The tower of london was amazing at night.
Finally I went to the pub and had a great conversation with two new friends from Israel. They were probably the coolest people I have met so far in my travels. This morning I gave them some postcards from Michigan.

Get ready for scan-and-frisk.
The NYPD will soon deploy new technology allowing police to detect guns carried by criminals without using the typical pat-down procedure, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Wednesday.
The department just received a machine that reads terahertz — the natural energy emitted by people and inanimate objects — and allows police to view concealed weapons from a distance.
"If something is obstructing the flow of that radiation, for example a weapon, the device will highlight that object," Kelly said.

text: I was curious as to how the members stay abreast with the "latest" in terms of fashion and the sort. What magazines do you subscribe? What websites? TV? Are you on the quote inside and hear/see/read it somewhere special? GQ and Vanity have been mentioned, but I'm gathering there has to be more than the usual everday mainstream media. I feel the masses look to the likes of GQ/Vanity/Maxim etc and follow like the infamous monkey. Im not talking style, as that is a more "you have it or you don't" concept. I use this forum and admit to perusing magazines, sparingly. I also frequent nyc at times and do the usual window-shopping, sometimes scanning things mentioned here. Just to have an idea.

Battle of Brooklyn has a little extra on the line this week
As neighborhood rivalries go, the Battle of Brooklyn series between Long Island University and St. Francis is perhaps more, well, neighborly than most. After all, as LIU coach Jim Ferry points out, there aren't many college basketball matchups where the visiting team can feel comfortable walking to an away game.
The next chapter in the rivalry, part of the rich tradition of hoops in the Big Apple, will be written this week. They'll step out of their home borough Wednesday night and play instead at Madison Square Garden following the St. John's-Cincinnati game. They meet again four days later at LIU's Wellness Center, where the Blackbirds have won 21 in a row. There's a little more spice for this year's encounters as first place in the Northeast Conference is on the line.
"I don't think you need to add anything to it. It's an unbelievable rivalry," says Ferry, in his 10th season at LIU. "There are a couple of things that are really unique about it — how close we are in distance, how close the coaching staffs are. These guys know each other really well. When I first got the job here, the first people to reach out to me with congratulations were the St. Francis coaches. There's a lot of respect."
Adds second-year St. Francis coach Glenn Braica: "It is rare that both of us are having such unbelievable seasons. There's a lot at stake."
The NEC tournament is conducted at campus sites, so seeding is a priority.
LIU took advantage of its home court to claim the crown last year. The Blackbirds acquitted themselves well in the NCAA tournament against top-seeded North Carolina. Ferry has his team atop the standings again at 11-1 and playing the same style while averaging a league-best 79.8 points.
"We're still an aggressive, up-tempo team. We're not as deep as we were last year, but the guys we have back are a little better," he says.
Plenty of locals and a few from as far away as Texas are doing the job for LIU this year. Among the imports from San Antonio are 6-7 forward Julian Boyd, the Blackbirds' leading scorer (16.7) and rebounder (9.2), and point guard Jason Brickman, who hands out 6.3 assists a game.
But St. Francis, one of five originial Division I programs that never has played in the NCAA tournament, looks to be on the rise.
The Terriers reached .500, finishing 15-15 in Braica's first season back at the school where he'd previously served as an assistant. This year's squad had to replace the two top scorers from a year ago, and the loss of starting point guard Dre Calloway to a season-ending shoulder injury after just five games didn't bode well.
They dropped a 40-point decision to Wagner in their NEC opener in early December. But the young Terriers have rallied to a 10-2 mark, a game behind LIU, and ride a five-game winning streak into tonight. Stefan Perunicic (12.7 points a game) leads a balanced offense.
"I'm really proud of our guys and the way they've stepped up," Braica says. "For us to be 10-2 in the league right now is pretty remarkable."
Braica expects the fans who stick around for the nightcap Wednesday at the Garden, as well as those in attendance in Sunday's rematch at LIU, will be entertained.
"We like to get up and down, too. Maybe not as much as they do, but I think it'll be a fast-paced games. I expect it would be quite entertaining. When we played them here last year, they beat us at the buzzer. When I was on the staff here before we played a triple-overtime game against them that somebody told me was the best game they'd ever seen in New York City."
High praise indeed.

Forget Him - Poem by kristyann celello
forget his name
forget his face
forget his kiss
his warm embrace
forget the love that you once knew
remember he has someone new
forget him they played your song
remember when you cried all night long
forget how close you once were
remember he has chosen her
forget how you memorized his walk
forget the way he used to talk
forget the things he used to say
remember he has gone away
forget his laught, forget his grin
forget the dimples on his chin
forget the way he held you tight
remember he's with her tonight
forget the time that went so fast
forget the love that moved, it's past
forget he said he leave you never
remember he's gone forever

The Labor Department reported on Friday that the U.S. added 200,000 jobs last month. The unemployment rate fell to 8.5 percent, the lowest in almost three years. According to Rick Santorum, President Obama deserves no credit; instead, it's the prospect of a Republican presidential victory that is boosting employment. Listen as Santorum speaks in Keene, New Hampshire:
Santorum: I'm very gratified to see that in spite of President Obama's policies, the job market is beginning to pick up a little bit. I think there might just be some optimism that maybe Republicans are going to take the White House. Maybe that's spurring people to start taking some risks. I'll take that as a reason.

Children and adolescents may be referred to IJR's General Diagnostic Clinic for a wide variety of concerns, including problems with disruptive behavior, anxiety, and/or mood, school functioning, adjustment to trauma or other sources of stress, and developmental delays.
Diagnostic Evaluation
Evaluations in our General Diagnostic Clinic include a comprehensive assessment of each youth's current strengths and difficulties, family functioning and family, medical, school, and psychiatric history. When appropriate (and with permission of the youth's legal guardian), we may also gather information from teachers, pediatricians, caseworkers, counselors, and other adults who play key roles in the youth's life.
Following each evaluation, we provide feedback to children, adolescents, and their families and propose our treatment recommendations. Our individualized treatment plans are intended to be responsive to the particular values, needs, culture, and resources of the youth and families whom we evaluate.
Treatment may include:
- Evidence-based individual therapy, family therapy, and/or group therapy
- Crisis intervention services
- Evidence-based medication management
- Assistance with strategies for parenting children / adolescents who engage in disruptive, oppositional, and/or defiant behavior
- Assistance with school advocacy
- Consultation with children's/adolescents' teachers
When further assessment of particular problems is warranted, we may refer youth for additional evaluation (for example, neuropsychological testing, speech / language testing, or evaluations of medical problems).
Multidisciplinary Staff
Our multidisciplinary clinical team includes the following UIC faculty and trainees:
- Kathleen Kelley, MD - Child and adolescent psychiatrist, Associate Clinical Professor, Program Director - Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Residency Training Program
- Sally Mason, Ph.D., LCSW, Social worker, Professor of Clinical Social Work in Psychiatry, Director of Social Work Training
Our trainees include advanced psychiatry, psychology, and social work trainees (i.e. child psychiatry fellows, child psychology externs, social work interns, general psychiatry residents), and medical students, all of whom are supervised by GDC faculty members.

The Disruptive Behavior Disorders Program
The Institute for Juvenile Research's Disruptive Behavior Disorders Clinic provides evidence-based outpatient treatment for children and adolescents who are having difficulties at home, at school, or in the community due to problems with oppositional, defiant, or otherwise disruptive behavior (e.g. tantrums, aggressive behavior, ignoring/breaking rules, etc.). Many of the children that we treat also present with mood problems, anxiety problems, difficulties adjusting to trauma or other stressors, problems with attention and hyperactivity, developmental delays, and various medical conditions.
Our clinical team includes Jesse Klein, Ph.D. (Clinic Director), Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychiatry, and Jaleel Abdul-Adil, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology, as well as psychology trainees working under the supervision of Drs. Klein and Abdul-Adil, respectively.
Children, adolescents, and their families are offered a range of services, including a comprehensive diagnostic assessment, evidence-based individual, family, and/or group therapy, as well as medication evaluation and monitoring, case management, and consultations with teachers and other school personnel. Treatment provided by clinicians in the Disruptive Behavior Disorders Clinic is typically family-focused, and targets problems that occur in a variety of settings (e.g. homes, schools, after school programs, neighborhoods, etc.).
Many of the families that we see in our clinic benefit from participation in our Disruptive Behavior Group. This group includes 10 weekly meetings, during which we meet separately with parents/caregivers and their children/adolescents, respectively. In the parenting group, we provide instruction in strategies for managing youth disruptive behavior. In the child/adolescent group, we address skill deficits that are common among children that we treat in our clinic. Children/adolescents participating in these groups typically range in age from six to fourteen years.
Topics covered in the parent group include:
- The importance of praise and positive attention to promote good behavior
- Strategic use of rewards and consequences
- Effective use of incentive programs to promote good behavior
- Communication skills
- Collaborative problem-solving skills
- Coping and stress management skills
- Strategies for communicating with teachers
- Advocating for special education services and other accommodations within schools
- Time-out and other strategies for decreasing negative behavior
Topics covered in the child/adolescent group include:
- Understanding emotions
- Self-regulation skills
- Social skills
- Problem-solving skills
- Conflict resolution skills
- Effective communication skills
STRONG Families is a specialty treatment program within the IJR's Disruptive Behavior Clinic that is designed to serve families of youth with co-occurring disruptive behavior problems and child trauma that live in urban neighborhoods with high violence rates. Families participate in a multi-modal intervention that includes psycho-educational multiple family groups, concurrent parent and child groups, and family therapy sessions. These core services are supplemented by school consultation, case management (especially community resource linkages), psychopharmacology, and crisis interventions. Topics covered during treatment in the STRONG Families program include:
- Psycho-education about traumatic stress, community violence and disruptive behavior
- Behavior management and parenting skills
- Stress management and relaxation skills
- Affective expression, modulation, and self-regulation
- Cognitive coping and processing strategies
- Traumatic stress narrative about community violence exposure
- Family communication skills and effective family problem-solving
- Enhancing community safety
- Grief and loss related to community violence
This strength based approach focuses on resilience and transcendence, as well as maximizing community-based resources, with an emphasis on cultural sensitivity.
Pediatric Stress and Anxiety Disorders Clinic
The Pediatric Stress and Anxiety Disorders Clinic (PSADC) specializes in early identification, comprehensive evaluation, and evidence-based treatment of anxiety disorders in diverse youth from age 18 months through older adolescents. The PSADC has a multidisciplinary team that includes Liza Suarez, PhD (Clinician and Research Director); Lauren Cox, LCSW; and trainees in child psychiatry, psychology, social work, and medical students. Individualized treatment programming may include cognitive behavioral therapy, parent guidance, family therapy, interventions at school, and medication management.
Anxiety disorders treated include: Separation Anxiety Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia, Selective Mutism, Specific Phobias, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Anxiety-related school refusal/school phobia behavior and adjustment to a variety of stresses or traumas including serious physical illness are addressed as well. Drs. Levey and Suarez, collectively, have many years of experience treating anxious youth and their families. Additionally, more specialized assessment and treatment expertise includes Selective Mutism, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Trauma and its comorbidity with Substance Abuse. Clinicians and researchers work collaboratively in the PSADC to understand risk and protective factors in diverse youth with anxiety disorders, facilitate transportability of evidence-based practices for anxiety to the school and community, and explore neurobiologic correlates of childhood anxiety.
PSADC is accepting referrals for enrollment in a treatment programs for teens aged 13-17 who have experienced trauma and are using drugs or alcohol.
Referrals to this clinic can be made by calling 312-996-7723.
Child Psychiatry Consultation-Liaison Service
The Child Psychiatry Consultation-Liaison Service (CL) provides urgent consultations to the pediatric inpatient unit and specializes in treating medically complex children who have comorbid psychiatric diagnoses. Diagnoses include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorder related to the medical condition. The CL team is also available at all times for telephone consultations to the pediatric ambulatory and emergency services and acts as a liaison to the general and specialty clinics at IJR.

|Supplies: Headband, matching sheer fabric (just a small scrap will do!), and scissors.
|Cut 20, 1″x4″ fabric strips.
|Tie each strip in a knot onto the headband.
|Continue to tie the strips to the headband to create the "ruffle." I tied my knots down the side so the "ruffle" was on the side, rather than straight across the middle of the headband.
|My "ruffle" was about 4 inches long across one side of the headband. (Don't worry, it won't look so crazy when you're done!)
|Trim down the "ruffle" so it is all even.
|There ya have it! How easy was that?!
|That is one easy summer hair-do!

The Google Content Network is one of my favorite ways to eke out a few more conversions in a flagging PPC campaign. However, it takes a lot of hard work and careful pruning away of unqualified traffic to make it work. Before you venture in to the exciting world of content network campaign mangagement, you should read up on how to review a placement report of your Google Content Network campaign.
After a little analysis, you should be able to figure out where junk traffic is coming from in your individual campaigns. However, there are a few repeat offenders that always seem to offer poor performance whenever they are included in a content network campaign:
- Gmail – Sure, we all love Gmail. But as a marketer, I'm extremely wary of its performance on the content network. It drives a ton of impressions, but offers few clicks and even fewer conversions. I'm also willing to bet that most of the clicks it drives are from accidental clicks anyway. Most people are probably going to be preoccupied with whatever issue is in their email, and won't be likely to click away. It's just too distracting. Think of it this way: when was the last time you clicked on an ad or bought a product while you were checking your Gmail?
- MySpace – Oh, MySpace. How far you have fallen. All joking aside, MySpace is surely one of the top drivers of impressions on the Google content network thanks to their lucrative ad deal with Google. Unfortunately, this doesn't necessarily translate into good results for marketers. Sure, MySpace has lots and lots of visitors, but they're too preoccupied with being social or pimping their profile to really pay attention to ads. What's worse is that MySpace's demographics skew pretty young, around the late teens and early 20s. No offense to all you youngs out there, but teenagers sure love to click on ads and not spend any money. This means they're spending your money (in the form of clicks) and not offering any return. Exclude this site on all content network campaigns, unless you happen to be marketing a product specifically for teens.
- Error Pages/Parked Domains – This one covers a lot of ground, but fortunately Google makes it pretty easy to block them all in one fell swoop. On your campaign screen for your content network campaign, choose the "Networks" tab. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and expand the "Exclusions" option. Under the "Campaign level" section, click on "Add Exclusions" and select "Exclude category." On the next menu, you'll be able to select both Error Pages and Parked Domains for exclusion from ad distribution. The reason that you'll want to exclude these pages is that people will be wanting to leave these pages as quickly as possible, since they have little content of value. Sometimes instead of hitting the back button, a user will click on a semi-relevant ad to get to a page they think might help them. This leads to few impressions of your ads (because the page sucks and no rational person would seek it out intentionally), but a high percentage of clicks (that usually don't convert).
When starting your very own content network campaign, it's a best practice to exclude at least these three sites. Once you gather more data and regularly exclude poor-performing sites, you can be on your way to content network cost-per-conversion bliss.

1. Re: Ball rotationdscarminiabielefeld Nov 9, 2012 10:22 AM (in response to 973445)Hey,
yeah, i would say JavaFX would be a pretty good soulution for what you want.
So you have a Stage, create a Circle or something like that, add it to your Pane.
Then you can rotate the Object, make it move, basically everything you want. Don't know what you actually want to know, but to answer your question: yes JavaFX is suitable for your problem.
2. Re: Ball rotation973445 Nov 9, 2012 6:33 PM (in response to 973445)I have to make a game with bouncing ball in 3D world. At the beginning player must choose power and direction and then throws ball. In room, there must be some objects to colision, e.g. 2 cubes. When ball is in the motion it must rotate (ball must have smiley texture to demonstrate rotate).
When the ball stops, simulation is over.
I have created a 3D cube representing the room in which the ball will bouncing and circle representing ball.
But I dont know how to do 3d motion, bounce ball and rotate ball.
Can anybody help me, please?

Where is the school bus safety in this city?
Saturday, Dec 15, 2012 06:00 am
I am writing to you regarding the lunacy of the bylaw on school bus safety in St. Albert. I have been a resident in St. Albert for only four years, but in that time I have complained six or seven times about the safety of our children when using school buses or trying to cross the street.
We are fortunate here that our school buses are equipped with lights, stop signs and barriers that keep our children safe when picking up and dropping off at designated school bus stops. However, I have never seen them used. I have seen and been on the receiving end of crossing the road with a group of children and having drivers not stop either behind the bus or at a designated crosswalk.
I have seen drivers weave and turn through a group of children to try to get to where they are going, sound their horns and yell at kids and parents when they are crossing the street. Earlier this semester I was nearly hit when crossing North Ridge Drive with my eight-year-old, and then I was on the receiving end of a tirade of abuse from the truck driver. I was in the middle of the street, and he didn�t appreciate that fact.
Following a discussion with a school bus driver, I have been left aghast that I was told, if they are seen using these safety devices to protect our children, then they are liable for a bylaw fine from the city of St. Albert for �delaying traffic.� (http://www.stalbert.ca/uploads/files/our_government/bylaws/2011%20Bylaws/ConsolidatedTrafficBylaw18-2005.pdf. The actual bylaw statement is on page 15, section 22 (1) under Special rules of operation.
On a number of occasions I have approached the city about this issue, actually emailing the mayor and city manager, and speaking with a gentleman from �engineering� and having been turned from one department to another when trying to either have a bus route re-examined or altered to save children from needing to cross a busy street.
I also approached the school board in the summer and asked for the bus routes to be looked at in order to be sure that children did not have to cross a major thoroughfare in order to get to their bus in the mornings, and to get home in the evening, and again I came up against the following statements:
� "We can't change the route as we have a contract with the bus company, and that would mean a whole renewal process"
� "The buses can't drive around the side roads � they're too big"
Local law enforcement has told me that this is not within their locus of control, and that they are helpless in trying to make any changes of this type. They are frustrated by this and the challenges with the road safety in St. Albert (anecdotally). Seemingly no one has the will, the authority or the sense to make a change that could save the life of a child.
One final statement that came from someone in the city (no name, sorry) was �we have to make sure that there is a steady flow of traffic, and having the lights and barriers on the school buses would slow traffic down. Can you imagine the complaints?" As you imagine I feel quite strongly about this one!
Some more recent history. A crosswalk was provided following complaints of driver behaviour over the past years in the North Ridge area, although at this time of year with reduced visibility, snow piles, poor driving conditions and the innate lack of care by drivers, this has made little or no difference, and even the occasional appearance by law or bylaw enforcement has not reduced the speed, and lack of consideration.
I am now in the position of having a colleague of mine witness a child being struck by a vehicle while close to an elementary school in St. Albert only this morning (Dec. 10). When is this going to stop? When is the City of St. Albert going stop worrying about people getting to work on time and a steady flow of traffic because they can�t leave earlier and worry more about the safety of the citizens of St. Albert? When is the value of a child�s life going to outweigh the economics of traffic flow?
Why are we debating at length the dog leash issues when the risk to a child�s life is inherent every day in this city? I am open to suggestions regarding how to get this bylaw changed.
Brian Jackson, St. Albert

sad to read that she may stop fighting mma after opponent withdrawing from fight and due to issues of drug use in the sport.
Where's this been reported? What are the concerns about drug use?
Rosi Sexton posted this on FB yesterday bro........
Here's my bottom line. Female MMA has a drug problem. I'm not interested in taking steroids and I'm not interested in unfair fights. I don't have the resources to keep playing this game. Until something changes, I'm out!
Would be a shame. Any time a top 5 talent retires in anything before their time is truly done, it's a shame.
My position is that I will only take another fight if I can be assured a clean opponent and a level playing field. If that means I don't fight again, I'm ok with that.
Sounds like a good plan. Given the recent revelations about cycling [despite the efforts to clean it up that date back to the mid 90s] and some of the opinions openly expressed about performance enhancing drugs in MMA; it would be interesting to know what percentage of MMA fighters (of both genders) are clean and what percentage are using
MMA owes it to you Rosi, to make sure that you do fight again. I support your decision but hope that it has the intended result - it would be a tragedy for you to be waiting for legit opponents. I hope you only have to retire when you are ready to and not because of anything otherwise.
We should start the Rosi Sexton vs Rhonda Rousey campaign.

There comes a point in one's Hospitality career where one must make a decision – veer left or veer right. Get the hell out of the Service Industry or concede that you're well on your way to becoming "Lifer." You're not going to be doing "much else" besides slinging drinks and serving slop to alkies, social imbibers, and the dregs of humanity – or so the social elite (my parents, unfortunately) keep telling me.
Although I hold down a corporate day job now-a-days, and have taken a couple of bartending hiatuses over the years, I recognized a long, long time ago, that I'd be in the bar business forever. It's my passion. It's what I crave. It's what runs through my blood. Sitting at a desk in a monkey outfit, soaking in nauseating fluorescent lighting, and cursing out some executive on the other end of the planet via some massive conference call (after first making sure my Mute is working) does not inspire the soul. Pitching gussied up PowerPoint presentations, fixing elaborate Project Plan dependencies, and incessantly troubleshooting catastrophic network connectivity problems also makes makes me want to blow chunks. Bartending, on the other hand, is nothing short of a nightly endorphin rush, rife with surprise, laughter, danger, awe and instant gratification.
I cut my teeth really early. At 12 years old, I landed my first [illegal] stock boy job at a neighborhood delicatessen for the grand sum of $2.50/hour. This year was 1983. At 16, I "graduated" to the much desired job of dishwashing at a Sizzler Steak House – earning me a tidy $3.35/hour – minimum wage at the time. I didn't care though. I wanted for naught. My $75/week or so check was plenty-o-cash for a 16 year old in 1987. I guess someone saw something in me because not 4 or 5 months later, I was the cold side prep guy making tubs of Russian dressing, filleting slabs of beef into single portions, making salads, etc. Towards the end of my Sizzler run, I was line cook and then a waiter.
I just kind of fell into it. At the time, I was't planning on working in a restaurant. They just happen to the be the first establishment that hired me. I needed Summer cash for buying crap like Lik-A-Stiks, Baby Ruth bars ($.50 at the time) and cheap .$.50 soda cans. There was a five-and-dime around my way that also sold cap guns and explosive, pull-string caps (liberal wankers succeeded banning that shit in Bloombergistan). My needs were simple.
Fast forward to 2012. I sometimes feel like Mr. Hedly (of Living Color fame) with "four-tin jobs, man." In all those years, I've held down every bar/restaurant gig imaginable. I've been the dishwasher, the porter, the cold-side prep boy, and the butcher. The butcher gig was pretty bitchin'. Along with learning the fine art of filleting perfectly proportioned and marbled loins/strips, I'd gnaw on scraps of Prime Rib and Filet Mignon all shift long. I then graduated to various positions on the cooking line – fry guy, expediter, grill man, etc. Then came the requisite Front of House years as server, manager and finally, bartender in various venues in and around New York.
It's gotten to the point that I have a newbie routine. When I get hired at a new bar, they typically have mass training or introduction. I stand up, raise my south paw, and sheepishly proclaim "Hi, I'm Freddy… and I'm a lifer" That's usually followed by some light comedy, a big grin, a brief bio, and some thrilled to be here blurb (which is entirely true). As are my job hunting processes, my Bartender's Anonymous speech is nearly down to a science.
I may be a lifer, but I've still got some aspirations. I've done ok financially. I own my own house, party it up here and there, indulge in the odd holiday, and dabble in investments. My dream, however, has always been and continues to be to open up my own bar. Not surprised, ay? Lots of ex servers and bartenders go down that road. And why not? It's what they know best. I've seen numerous venues both prosper and fail. In doing so, I've accumulated massive wealth in the form of extensive experience and broad industry knowledge. I'll put it all to good use one of these days.
The term "lifer" is taken from the playbook of – you may have guessed it – our country's prison system. It's obviously a nod to the most violent felons; those who will be staring at a closet-sized concrete bunker – adorned with an ingenious, combination stainless steel sink and toilet – for the rest of their natural lives. That connotation kind of adds the air or mystique of "service industry professional" don't you think? Unfortunately for us, outsiders tend to pass judgement on servers and bartenders something awful. In their minds, we're one small notch below being incarcerated.
In any case, boys and girls, today's lesson: the Service Industry is not much different than the mafia. Once you're in, you're always in. For those who stay a while, it becomes part of you fabric – your raison d'etre. Oh you may go dabble in other waters, but you always come home. Just ask our boy Hoy Wong (above) of The Algonquin fame. 90-something years old, still ticking like a fine watch, still slinging Martinis, and still claims to be intoxicated by (and tapping) the odd piece of ass that falls his way… That's how lifers get down.

Could the mathematician who in 1867 published ''An Elementary Treatise on Determinants With Their Application to Simultaneous Linear Equations and Algebraical Geometry'' also be the author of ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland''? To be sure. His real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), and under it he functioned as an Oxford don who taught math, a cleric, a poet, a pamphleteer, a deviser of games and puzzles, an ardent theatergoer and a gifted amateur photographer. But the pseudonym Lewis Carroll, a Latinization of Charles Lutwidge in reverse order, is the name that belongs to his most brilliant achievement, the ''Alice'' stories.
The show ''a k a Lewis Carroll'' at the Morgan Library marks the 100th anniversary of the death of this odd and intriguing polymath, and it reflects a life of fascinating paradoxes. A Church of England deacon and an eminently proper Victorian, he also took adoring photographs of little girls and often fell in love with his subjects. A writer of ''serious'' if schmaltzy Victorian verse, he was also an ironist and nonsense rhymer who had fun with sober institutions like Oxford and the British monarchy. A very private person who kept Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and Lewis Carroll strictly apart, he was also a tireless celebrity chaser who sought big names to pose for his camera.
The exhibition, assembled largely from the Morgan's own collection by Anna Lou Ashby, curator of printed books, represents a very respectable slice of Dodgsonia. It includes letters (he wrote thousands), personal memorabilia like his microscope and watch (a big silver timepiece that resembles the White Rabbit's), first editions of his books, pamphlets and other literary endeavors, original drawings by John Tenniel, the Punch cartoonist who illustrated ''Alice'' and its sequel, ''Through the Looking-Glass,'' photographs of Dodgson himself and those he took of his very young friends.
There is a load of associated ephemera, too: the childhood ring and purse of Alice Liddell, for whom his Alice was named; parlor games invented by Dodgson; toys, songs and records inspired by ''Alice''; parodies of his work by other authors; drawings and cels for Disney's 1951 animation of ''Alice,'' and a book version of the 1933 Paramount movie ''Alice in Wonderland,'' starring Gary Cooper as the White Knight, Cary Grant as the Mock Turtle and W. C. Fields as Humpty Dumpty.
If a few things have been left out, like nude photographs of girls (he thought boys were ugly), pages from his voluminous diaries and the original ''Alice'' manuscript (now in the British Library), no matter. There is enough Dodgson/Carroll material here to keep a viewer hopping. And those who want to know more can turn to the redoubtable biography by Morton N. Cohen (Knopf, 1995), now a Vintage paperback.Continue reading the main story
The son of an accomplished parish curate and community leader, Dodgson was the oldest and much adored boy in a family of 11 children. Seven were girls, a fact often cited in speculations about his interest in prepubescent females. A clever, personable young man, especially good with words and mathematics, he grew up in his father's country parsonages, was sent to Rugby at 14, entered Christ Church, one of Oxford University's most fashionable colleges, at 19, and stayed on as a don until his death. He taught, was active in college politics, had a social life and at 24 got hooked on the popular Victorian vice of photography.
He was good at this then very cumbersome process, so good that sitters beat a path to his door. From photographing fellow academics and churchmen, he went on to their children, and so met Alice Liddell, the 4-year-old daughter of Henry George Liddell, the newly appointed dean of Christ Church. She was to change his life. A number of photographs of Alice with and without her two sisters appear in the show; two of the most engaging were taken when she was 7. In one she proudly sports a crown of flowers, in the other she presents a grave profile as she presses her face against the back of a chair.
His most famous photo of this seductive child is included, ''Alice Liddell as Beggar Girl,'' taken at the same age in the deanery garden. Barefoot and dressed in rags, like the child prostitutes who frequented London streets, she cocks her head in a challenging come-hither look, one foot drawn up and resting on a ledge. There are two versions: one a carte de visite, the other a larger presentation copy, hand colored and dressed up in a leather case. Also on view are photos of several other young girls, among them Xie Kitchin, the daughter of the headmaster of Winchester College, and Julia Arnold, the niece of Matthew Arnold and later the mother of Aldous Huxley.
Famously, while boating on a summer day in 1862 with the Liddell children and an adult friend, Dodgson concocted the tale of Alice in Wonderland to amuse them, and wrote it down later at Alice Liddell's insistence. Originally titled ''Alice's Adventures Underground,'' it was published in 1866 as ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' and is possibly the world's most widely read children's book, rendered into more than 70 languages, including Swahili and Yiddish. (A lineup of translations, among them a 1923 version in Russian by Vladimir Nabokov who was later to write the pedophiliac ''Lolita,'' fills a display case in the show.) Also on view is a facsimile edition of the original manuscript, with drawings by the author that include a giraffe-necked Alice.
Not the least of this show's pleasures is the number of illustrations, some original, some in proof form, by Tenniel (1820-1914), who created the legendary images of Alice, the White Rabbit, the Red Queen, the Duchess, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and the rest of the gloriously wacky Wonderland crew. (An early review of the book called the illustrations ''square, grim and uncouth.'') Although many other illustrators -- the work of Arthur Rackham, Marie Laurencin and Barry Moser is shown here, among others -- have had a crack at ''Alice'' over the years, the Tenniel drawings have never been surpassed.
If this show is made up of maybe too many ''bits and scraps'' (Dodgson's description of ''Alice''), it's still an enjoyable tribute to the shy, unmarried don who somehow found the freedom to let the child in him out.

Wildcats Lead by Three Strokes after First Round
Oct. 27, 2013
KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. – Four Wildcats are sitting in the top 15 after one day at the Invitational at The Ocean Course to put the University of Kentucky men's golf in first place by three strokes at even-par, 288.
Rounding out the top five after Kentucky is South Florida at three-over par, South Alabama at six-over par and Charleston Southern and Georgia at nine-over par.
The rest of the team standings are filled out with Florida (+12), Notre Dame (+13), Georgia Southern (+14), Western Carolina (+16), Michigan (+17), College of Charleston (+18), Francis Marion (+22), Rice (+23) and Michigan State (+24).
"You can't win a tournament on the first day, but you can lose one," said Kentucky head coach Brian Craig. "I am real proud of the boys for a great effort today. We have put ourselves in a good position but have a long, long ways to go. This is a big man's course and we need to stay focused on what we can control and keep executing with confidence."
Kentucky was led by senior Cody Martin's two-under par, 70 on Sunday afternoon to put him in a tie for fourth place. For the day, Martin recorded four birdies and an eagle en route to a sub-par round.
Sitting in a tie for eighth place is senior Ben Stow after an even-par, 72 round of 18 holes. Stow struggled out of the gate by posting four bogeys on the front nine, but regrouped to birdie four of his last five holes to end the afternoon.
Three Wildcats recorded a one-over par, 73, including freshman Stephen Stallings who is making his first appearance in a collegiate tournament. Stallings was joined by junior David Snyder and sophomore Harrison Greenberry, who is playing as an individual, at one-over par. The trio is tied for 13th after one round.
Rounding out the UK competitors was senior Stephen Powers who registered a two-over par, 74. Powers is tied for 20th.
Teams return to the course for second round action Monday morning at 7:50 a.m. ET.
The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort has played host to the 2007 Senior PGA and 2012 PGA Championships and is only the fourth course to host each of the PGA of America's major championships. Located on the eastern-most end of Kiawah Island, The Ocean Course has more seaside holes than any other course in the Northern Hemisphere.
Fans can follow the action with live scoring available at Golfstat.com. For more information on the University of Kentucky men's golf team visit UKathletics.com and follow on Twitter at @UKmensgolf. The Wildcats begin spring competition at the Mobile Bay Intercollegiate in Mobile, Ala., from Feb. 17-18.

Hospital executives plotted to get a millionairess patient to give them cash donations and other gifts by tapping into the elderly woman's childlike love of the Smurfs and The Flintstones.
Reclusive heiress Huguette Clark was a voluntary patient at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York for two decades before she died in 2011.
During that time she made a number of sizable donations to the hospital and some staff. It has emerged today that officials even planned how they would get more money from her.
According to the New York Post, one official suggested sending the then 86-year-old a birthday gift of Smurf or Flintstone balloons because 'Smurfs are her new cartoon'.
Hospital CEO Dr Robert Newman is said to have enlisted the help of his own elderly mother to befriend Clarke and would allegedly force her to go to the heriess' room on a daily basis with the sole objective of 'obtaining even more purported gifts', court papers say.
At one point, Newman's mom was directed to keep asking Clark for a cash gift 'even if she changes the subject to Smurfs or Flintstones'.
The court papers detail that on one occasion in 1998, the elderly lady was sent to watch a Smurf movie with Clark as a guise under which to talk to her about the 'great joy and spiritual satisfaction of preparing her will', which she had not done yet.
'I kid you not! My mom spent 30 minutes watching the Smurfs celebrate Christmas: she deserves a medal,' Newman reported, according to court papers obtained by the Post.
Revealed: How hospital execs 'tried to get cash out of millionairess Huguette Clark by giving her Smurf and Flintstones presents'

I am always amused the shipping and handling cost is a separate line item. I want to see line items for lights, buildings, entertaining, coffee breaks, etc. You get the point. I agree, this post is not about the 135is.

Betty Toney was busy helping a co-worker with a problem when her manager asked her to stop what she was doing.
Toney followed her manager out of the office and through the door in the back of the Walters Auditorium at Northeast Georgia Medical Center. As Toney stepped around the edge of the stage's black curtain, she stopped, and her eyes began to water.
Nearly 50 of Toney's co-workers stood Monday afternoon at a surprise recognition ceremony to applaud the 71-year-old patient access representative for 50 years of service.
Many of those in attendance appeared in a short video tribute, congratulating Toney on reaching the milestone.
Toney is the first employee of the hospital to make it to the half-century mark.
Toney's face reddened as she thanked her co-workers for their kind words.
Northeast Georgia Health System President and CEO Carol Burrell presented Toney with a Torch Award.
"Betty has been welcoming everyone with a great smile and a level of care that made you feel at home, almost as if the person taking care of you was your own mom," Burrell said. "Co-workers, hospital staff and patients see Betty not as a fixture but as the exemplary image of what serving a patient with care and compassion looks like. I would say she epitomizes our values."
Toney was 21 years old when she applied for a position as a ward secretary with then-Hall County Hospital on Nov. 11, 1963. Toney was hired on the spot the next day.
"I'd planned to save money and go to nursing school, but my parents got sick," Toney said. "... And by the time that all rolled around, the timing was just wrong so I thought I'll just stay where I am. I'm in the medical field, and I know what's going on so I'll just stay where I am."
Toney later accepted a position in the admissions department, where she stayed for 44 years before becoming an outpatient registrar in 2010.
Over the years, more things have changed than stayed the same, Toney said, laughing.
Computers and electronic filing systems replaced typewriters and paper files. One thing that hasn't changed is the importance of being compassionate.
"Treat others as you would want to be treated yourself," Toney said. "I always think this could be my mother or this could be my father. I would want other people to treat them nice so I treat them like my family would want to be treated."
Dana Mack, patient access manager, said it's not unusual to hear patients praise Toney.
"She is phenomenal," Mack said. "What really stands out is her empathy and her caring for the patients. It is not uncommon to get numerous compliments on her. The patients just say that she makes them feel at home, like they're family."
While some people might be ready to retire after half a century, Toney said she hasn't even thought about it.
"I never would have thought I'd have been here so long," Toney said as a co-worker handed her a piece of cake. "It's just my home away from home; it always has been. I don't have any thoughts about (retirement) yet. Everybody asks me (when), but I just keep telling them as long as I'm in good health and my bosses like my work. I like it and I love to meet people."

Approachable. Diverse. Delicious. South Africa's wines are characterized by a down-to-earth friendliness. Read on for our best recipe and cheese pairing suggestions!
The White Wines
Bursting with notes of lemon and pear, Protea's Chenin Blanc is a slightly dry white wine. Seafood is a natural pairing, but our Grilled Chicken with Fresh Herbs is its recipe soulmate. For a cheese pairing, Humboldt Fog's slight tang and mild creaminess allows the wine's citrus notes to come forward in the finish.
Sauvignon Blanc from Indaba features grapefruit, citrus and tropical notes that move to a grassy mineral-tinged finish. We paired it with Grilled Tuna Kabobs with Peach Mango Salsa. This crisp wine goes well with piquant and creamy Wellspring® Creamery's Goat Milk Brie.
DMZ Chardonnay starts off with citrus and pineapple before revealing toasted caramel and mineral in the finish. It makes a wonderful match for roasted Brussels sprouts, charcuterie or this sweet and savory Arugula Salad with Roasted Butternut Squash and Prosciutto. Like the salad, the saltiness and earthiness in Hervé Mons Camembert plays to the wine's fruit and minerality.
The Red Wines
Silky and dark with notes of pepper and blackberry, Wolftrap Syrah Mourvedre Viognier shows the depth of a great South African red wine. Hearty dishes like our Spaghetti Squash Marinara with Italian Sausage – or even a slice of pizza – pair especially well. Borough Market Cheddar's sharpness complements the wine's smoothness.
The Cabernet Sauvignon from esteemed South African winery Robertson displays its varietal characteristics of mulberry, plum and cassis, giving way to a lingering finish.Our Lamb Stew with Lemons and Olives is a bold recipe that stands up to this bold wine. For a cheese choice, the cream and spice in Robusto's 9-month aged Gouda-style cheese resonates with the wine's dark berry flavors.
Flagstone's Dragon Tree is a South African red to be reckoned with. Cascading notes of dark cherry, cigar box and the slightest hint of mint are followed by fruit in the sweetly spicy finish. The wine is on full display when paired with rich Roasted Cauliflower Risotto. El Trigal Manchego, a luscious sheep's milk cheese from Spain, likewise brings out the wine's layers of fruit.
Another syrah-mourvédre-viognier blend, Bellingham Small Barrell S.M.V. is a wine you can store for years. Dark chocolate flavors mingle with violet and black and red berry notes before moving to a velvety finish. Pair with rich foods like roasted lamb, vegetable ragoût or our Grilled Bison Strip Steaks with Sweet and Sour Onions. Nutty Le Gruyère Reserve highlights pepper, spice and cherry in the wine. To experience its true character, open this wine an hour before serving.
Something wonderful happens when wines meet their perfect matches. We'd love to hear how these pairings worked for you, or about other creative pairings you've discovered!

Sullivan tipped to break world 100 metres record
Australian swimmer and newly crowned world record holder Eamon Sullivan.
Photo: Mark Baker
MICHAEL Klim believes Eamon Sullivan will be the one to break one of swimming's most imposing world records, Pieter van den Hoogenband's 100 metres freestyle mark of 47.84 seconds, as the West Australian flyer continued to "revolutionise" Australian freestyle sprinting.
Sullivan's Olympic Games chances have firmed in the 50 and 100 metres freestyle double after an amazing NSW titles, at which he broke Alex Popov's 50 freestyle world record of 21.64 seconds, which had stood since 2000, with a 21.56. He then eclipsed Klim's Australian record of 48.18 with a time of 48.11.
Klim said it was only a matter of time before the 22-year-old, whose times have been improving steadily for two years, broke van den Hoogenband's mark. But first, he expects him at next month's Olympic trials to at least join van den Hoogenband and Swede Stefan Nystrand as the only swimmers to have broken 48 seconds over the two laps.
"Personally, I thought Eamon was probably more suited to the 100. I am anticipating Eamon to go a sub-48 swim at trials and maybe at the Olympics. He's obviously capable of that.
"That's something that Eamon's really working hard on with (coach) Grant Stoelwinder he can go out as fast as he can but he'll have have to be able to bring it home strong and I think that's what's going to get him the world record over the 100," he said.
Klim said he was not disappointed at losing his record to Sullivan.
"I half expected it, to be honest. When you get so close and you have a bit of a sniff, it motivates you, especially after breaking the world record in the 50 I'm happy it went to a guy like Eamon," he said.
" The timing of his swim would probably be the surprise. I know that he's definitely capable of swimming that fast but to break a world record a month out from the Olympic trials, it's interesting timing."
Klim was also astounded at how good Sullivan's start and first 25 metres were on Sunday in the one-lap dash a feature that Klim said set him apart from previous Australian freestyle sprinters.
"He's really revolutionised Australian swimming with just the way he goes about his races. He's obviously got an amazing start there's obviously there's no one with a start as fast as him because he's the world record-holder now.
"He's swimming in an unconventional way to how Australian sprinters were taught," Klim said.

The ruling Democratic Party of Japan is preparing a new proposal for reducing the number of House of Representatives seats that is more reflective of the demands of small opposition parties, DPJ sources said.
The DPJ is now considering scrapping 50 of the 480 Lower House seats, while the current plan calls for cutting 80 seats.
DPJ Secretary General Azuma Koshiishi plans to present the proposal to other parties this week in the hope of breaking the deadlock in electoral reform talks for the powerful chamber.
Under the new proposal, the DPJ plans to eliminate five seats in less-populated single-seat constituencies to reduce vote-value disparities between such constituencies and heavily populated electoral districts.
The DPJ also plans to slash 45 proportional representation seats, cutting the total to 135. Thirty-five of those seats will be allocated under a distribution method more beneficial to smaller parties.
If the DPJ plan is adopted, the total number of Lower House seats will fall from 480 to 430.
It is uncertain, however, whether the new DPJ proposal will be accepted by other parties.
New Komeito favors the new seat distribution system for the 35 proportional representation seats, while the Liberal Democratic Party opposes the idea.
The DPJ promised to cut the number of Lower House seats by 80 in its campaign platform for the 2009 general election.

Line 153, Column 44: The element button must not appear as a descendant of the a element.
<button class="btn primary readMore">read more</button></a
not sure how to fix this.has anyone run into this & how did you solve it please?thxD
I am not entirely sure what you mean as "appear". elements are/are not decedents. But you have a couple of other issues in your code as well.
1) It's not good practice to have links inside or around your buttons.2) you didnt close your tags properly, that probably caused a bunch of unforeseen results.
<button class="btn primary readMore">read more</button>
hope that helps.
Don't use a button. Just have the anchor and style the anchor like a button.
<button> is (mostly) for having a style-able thingie that when users click it, runs some script. If it goes somewhere then a plain link makes more sense.
While I personally don't like loose inlines with block siblings, this is legal:
<hx>Article title</hx>
article teaser...
Read More »
And set the .button { display: inline-block;} or float it or something.
I'll bet that's why the validator said something about descendents: the tags are not well-formed and the closing  is outside the closing </button> so it may have assumed the button was a descendent here somehow.
At work there was/is some crappy old code doing this<input type="button" value="some text">and I'd like to note that unless you add an onclick event on the anchor, IE (not sure about 10) won't work clicking on that thing. So I don't know but it wouldn't surprise me if there was a user agent who didn't like anchors inside a button (but I don't think there's a spec reason why it wouldn't work).
Dresden, Stomme, thank you both. And Stomme thank you on the extra advice on fixing this. I was toying w/the idea of creating an div & styling for a button but will try your suggestion and style the  first.D
Using the anchor gives you automatially both the functionality of a link without extra scripting, and also it's already accessible natively (except if your link text is bad like "read more" then the aria-label will help, at least for users of newer AT).

Islam is one of the biggest and strongest religions in the world today. Regarding the future of Judgment Day, Islam believes that there will be a future judgment on the last days. Since they believe that Allah is God, they also proclaim that Allah will be the Judge, and he will judge every single man and woman in the world.
Islam also believes that people need to do so many requirements in order for them to be able to go to heaven. At the same time they are to be forgiven by Allah on the Day of Judgment. Muslims believe that if people have done enough good deeds while on earth, and have practiced the six pillars when they experience death, they will be accepted by Allah to enjoy life with Him. According to the Muslims believe, those who want to go to heaven, they need to follow the things that the prophet Muhammad did through the book of Hadiths.
On the Day of Judgment, all the dead people will be raised up and will sit before the throne of Allah to be judged no one can deny the Day of Judgment (Sura 83:1-12). When the Judgment Day comes, the book of deeds will be opened where everyone's good and bad deeds were recorded (Sura 18:49; 81:1-14; 82:) and will be judged according to what they have done on earth. The righteous people will go to heaven (bliss) and the wicked will be thrown into hell (fire). They will have no more chance to repent so as to escape from hell but rather eternity they will for be in hell (Sura 82:13-14).
They also say that everyone's bad and good deeds will be weighed or balanced by Allah. If the good deeds are more than the bad deeds, they will be automatically going to heaven. And if the bad deeds are more than the good deeds, they will go to hell. Those who are in heaven will have a chance to marry as many wives as he pleases, where as those who are in hell will have no chance to do so.

HARTFORD, CT - The second-ranked defending national champion Amherst College women's lacrosse team netted five consecutive second-half goals and held off a late rally en route to a 12-9 victory at ninth-ranked NESCAC foe Trinity College on Wednesday night. Amherst senior tri-captain Allison Aldrich (Cornwall, VT) netted four goals and dished one assist and junior Ashley Harmeling (N. Reading, MA) had three goals and five assists as the Jeffs remained undefeated with their sixth victory of the season.
It didn't take the hosts long to get on the scoreboard as junior Tracy Nesbit found the net just 14 seconds after the draw. Amherst answered with a pair of scores, one each from Harmeling and classmate Cate Smith (Saint James, MD), to take the lead at the 4:46-mark. Trinity knotted the score again on a goal from sophomore Christine Ryan, but the Jeffs pulled away scoring three straight, including Aldrich and fellow senior Liz Martin (Baltimore, MD) dealing assists to each other just 13 seconds apart to take a 5-2 edge. The Bantams fought back with consecutive tallies from junior Beatrice Gratry to pull within one with just over 10 minutes remaining in the half. Aldrich and Harmeling each netted their second goal of the half, pushing the lead to 7-4, but the hosts cut the deficit back to two as Ryan netted the final score of the frame.
Trinity again cut the lead to one as Ryan completed the hat trick just over a minute after the break. However, the Jeffs exploded with five consecutive goals to ensure the victory. Amherst senior tri-captain Jackie Sargent (Concord, MA) started the rally with her ninth score of the year, and Aldrich followed with back-to-back scores, securing her fourth straight hat trick. Harmeling continued her early-season scoring onslaught with her sixth consecutive hat trick, and 24th goal of the year, and Sargent capped the run. Trinity tried to mount a comeback, scoring three goals down the stretch, but could not overcome the deficit and Amherst held on for the win.
Amherst junior goalie Olivia D'Ambrosio (Farmington, CT) was credited with 13 saves, while senior Alexandra Benjamin and first-year Kate McNerney shared time in goal for Trinity, collecting six and three saves, respectively.
Amherst returns to action Saturday at 4:30 p.m. against top-ranked visiting NESCAC archrival Middlebury College at UMass Amherst's Garber Field. The Jeffs bested the Panthers 11-9 in last year's national championship game, ending their 51-game win streak and earning the first national crown in program history.
