|Commissioners to meet with Teen Court Wednesday to work out contract
|Faith Huffman | News-Telegram News Editor
Jan 4, 2006 - A work session Thursday morning with county commissioners regarding Teen Court's request to utilize court facilities concluded with an agreement to meet again Wednesday to hammer out a contract detailing use of county court facilities, as well as which facilities would be available.
Five teen-agers spoke this morning on behalf of Teen Court Merit Club members and student attorneys, as well as Teen Court board members, Sheriff Butch Adams, Municipal Court Judge Phyllis Rogers and Texas Ranger Phillip Kemp.
Commissioners, as they had done in previous meetings, expressed concerns for courthouse security, crowded court schedules, and accountability should a security situation arise or the courthouse be damaged.
Precinct 4 Commissioner Danny Evans said he would like to see a minimum of two law enforcement officers at any Teen Court proceeding held on county property. He indicated he would like the contract to require Teen Court officials to provide to the county judge the day prior to any Teen Court session a list of all law enforcement officers to be responsible for security. He also suggested the doors be locked to prevent those not affiliated with the court session from causing problems or bringing a weapon into the courthouse.
Texas Ranger Phillip Kemp, who has volunteered to serve as a security officer during Teen Court meetings at the courthouse, reminded that such security concerns as outsiders entering the courthouse with or stashing a weapon at the courthouse is also an issue during the day, when regular courthouse operations are being conducted. He also noted that a person who had been convicted of a criminal offense but released on bond until sentencing could represent a potential security problem any normal day in district or county court.
Kemp said the teens participating in the court as attorneys and court officials were doing so voluntarily, and those juveniles appearing in court were thereon Class C misdemeanor charges. While those offenses are still taken seriously, they are considered considerably less threatening than most other court trials held at the courthouse.
Precinct 2 Commissioner Burke Bullock noted that if the contract stipulated that courthouse security officer John Hipkins be present during the proceedings, "then I'd be willing to do almost anything," including allow Teen Court to meet in the courthouse.
Precinct 3 Commissioner Don Patterson noted that Hipkins' job has the courthouse security officer arriving around 6 a.m. weekdays to conduct a thorough search of the facility to ensure nothing untoward or dangerous had been left in the building, and that he continues the conduct "sweeps" of the courthouse throughout the day.
"We made him responsible for that," Bullock said.
Sheriff Butch Adams, one of the original Teen Court founders, said security should not be an issue. He added his voluntary service, along with that of the sheriff's office's reserve deputies, to ensure Teen Court would be adequately secure, whether with two or four officers as recommended by another commissioner.
Precinct 1 Commissioner Beth Wisenbaker said before she could agree to allow Teen Court to use the courthouse or any county facility she would require a written contract with Teen Court officials stating rules and regulations for the facilities use. She also noted hat the contract would have to stipulate responsibilities and that there can be "absolutely no food" at the facility. She also suggested the possibility of Teen Court using the two justice of the peace courtrooms for two court sessions, and if thos or any of the other court facilities were "not feasible, then look at the district courtroom."
Kemp noted that dividing the court session up at two locations would require twice as many personnel to oversee the teens, but having court in one session would contain them in one area.
Teen Court representatives Robby Moore, Kelly Horton, Katie Hettich, Rachel Ming and Whitney Hu assured commissioners that Merit Club members take Teen Court proceedings seriously, and do not currently take food into the courtroom with them. They would dress and act professionally and suggested that each member be required to sign a contract holding them accountable for their actions. They also agreed that it would be a good idea to have the doors locked during court, as participants are required to be on time.
Wisenbaker also suggested that it be a requirement the entire third floor of the courthouse as well as any other areas not being used be roped off to prevent Teen Court participants from entering them.

The most powerful of the week's trio of storms pounded the Southland Wednesday, sending mud and debris down steep canyons and flooding roads and highways as dozens of stubborn hillside residents defied evacuation orders to leave their homes.
Despite dire warnings from officials, no storm-related fatalities were immediately reported in Los Angeles on Wednesday and no homes were destroyed by the mud flows.
Two Southwest airliners out of Sacramento and Oakland were struck by lightning as they flew into Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, but they both landed safely, according to an airport spokeswoman. Both planes, per regulations, were taken out of commission. No one was seriously injured.
Wednesday's deluge, which dropped up to 2.3 inches on the Newhall area, was the first half of a storm that is expected to continue today. That follows two earlier storms that hit the area beginning Sunday.
An inch of snow fell on Palmdale and mountain areas saw a whopping 15 inches of the white stuff.
The last time a storm this big hit Southern California was January 2005, when 7 inches of rain fell in Los Angeles.
Today's forecast calls for more heavy rain and possibly a thunderstorm, with wind gusts up to 25mph in some places. Showers are likely Friday, and winds may die down. The chance of showers diminishes on Saturday and Sunday.
Officials cautioned residents against complacency and urged them to follow evacuation orders.
Los Angeles Fire Department Deputy Chief Mario Rueda offered a chilling comparison to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
"People in the Ninth Ward also said they have been through this before," Rueda said. "It's human nature in our experience. People wait until it's too late, and then they can't get out."
About a third of the 322 residents asked to evacuate from the foothill areas of Sunland-Tujunga refused to leave, according to a Los Angeles city fire spokesman. Early in the day, only one resident showed up at a Red Cross Disaster Relief station at Sunland Recreation Center.
As rain poured down, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and City Councilman Paul Krekorian visited communities where dozens of residents refused to leave.
Reluctant to leave
Dieter Kuehne, 76, and his wife Magdalena, 78, who have lived in Alpine Village (in the Tujunga area) since 1973, said surviving rainstorms and fires have become part of their regular life living in the foothill areas.
As water surged through the street alongside the Kuehnes' home, the seniors told the mayor that they would leave if conditions worsened.
"We moved here from Europe, with only a suitcase," Dieter Kuehne said. "We are so proud of what we've (done here) and that makes it difficult to leave."
Kevin Cavender, a 31-year Alpine Village resident, said he also had no plans to leave his home.
"I'll only go if there is a whole lot of mud," Cavender said as he stood in the heavy rain sporting only a light leather jacket.
"I was here for the floods in (1978). We were fine then, we'll be OK. I'm sticking it out."
But city officials pleaded with residents to obey evacuation orders, evoking other disasters such as the 2005 mudslide in La Conchita, when 10 people were killed and more than a dozen homes in the coastal Ventura County community were destroyed.
"I was digging through mud for three days in La Conchita to find bodies, to find victims (and) I don't want to see that happen here," said Craig Fry, LAFD assistant fire chief for the San Fernando Valley.
"We have driven, walked and flown the area (around the foothills) and the Station Fire has created several areas where this could occur."
It was in 1978, three years after the infamous Mill Creek fire, that residents of Alpine Village were awakened around 2 a.m. by the sound of a wall of mud and rock roaring down Alpine Way.
Paul Phillips, then a Glendale firefighter who had fought the Mill Creek blaze, leaped from his bed during the mudslide. What had been a quiet bucolic community of two-story homes with pitched Alpine-style roofs and tall chimneys visited by deer, raccoons and bobcats was now split by an avalanche of liquid rock.
"The street was covered with rock, debris. There was a pickup truck and another car pushed sideways down Alpine Way," said the retired firefighter, now president of the Alpine Village Homeowners Association, patrolling the neighborhood under an umbrella with his wife, Chris. "It was amazing. It was incredible."
Despite the mudslide that occurred decades ago, he estimated that about half of the residents of the village of 120 homes decided not to evacuate Wednesday.
He said he and his wife would stay in order to coordinate emergency services with firefighters and police.
"We're hanging tight," Phillips said. "I feel that we're in pretty good shape because the fire didn't burn immediately into our back yards."
`If it happens, it happens'
Others who didn't leave when asked by deputies were cautiously optimistic. Some said they never were notified of an evacuation. On many homes, American flags hung limp during the oncoming storm as sirens wailed in the distance. Sandbags were piled in front of many houses to divert the potential flood.
Matthew Ramirez, 24, uttered an expletive in defiance of evacuating.
"I don't really care," Ramirez said. "I wanted to stay here, because I didn't want to bother going anywhere else. It's one of those things: if it happens, it happens.
"No one's leaving. We'll definitely hang tough."
Along the river, next to the Tujunga Little League Fields, Andreas Weyermann, dressed in a parka, shorts and sandals, swatted tennis balls for his Hungarian pointer dog. Up the wash, the California Highway Patrol had closed access into Big Tujunga Canyon, where boulders were strewn across the road. A white mist clothed the barren hills that threatened communities at the bucolic edge.
"The dog's going to have cabin fever if I don't get him out," said Weyermann, 53, a tennis pro who lives about 20 houses away from the river, but was not asked to evacuate.
"I don't feel like we're going to have to worry about it."
In the La Canada-Flintridge area, devastated by last year's Station Fire, firefighters and public works crews monitored some of the 28 debris basins already filled with mud, rocks and tree branches from Monday's storm.
Break comes on weekend
The heavy rainfall, accompanied by winds gusts up to 35 mph, caused at least 500 crashes on Los Angeles County freeways Wednesday, compared to 280 reported a week ago within the same time period.
While the situation in the hillsides appeared fragile, those in more urban areas took the rain in stride.
In Glendale, U.S. Postal Service worker Francisco Ceballos wore a large slicker and a pith helmet and happily made his rounds.
"It feels good," he said. "I love this kind of weather. It's better than the heat. Everybody says I'm crazy because I like the rain."
But by Friday, plenty of people will have had enough of the "liquid sunshine," said National Weather Service weather specialist Stuart Seto.
"I think after Thursday people will be tired of this," Seto said. "We get a little break Saturday and on Sunday, and then Monday, there's a 30 percent chance of rain again."
Weather forecasters predicted that by the time the storm ends, coastal and Valley areas would see up to 5 inches of rain, while foothills and mountains may see 10 inches.

While Microsoft Corp. plans to eventually eliminate up to 5,000 jobs, including 1,400 cuts to be made Thursday, it is doing its best to minimize the impact on employees as well as its ongoing strategic efforts, CEO Steve Ballmer said.
"Let me make sure the math is clear: We are eliminating 5,000 jobs , but we are also adding a few thousand jobs," Ballmer said during a conference call Thursday with Wall Street. In total, Microsoft will reduce its 91,000 headcount today by 2,000 to 3,000 in the next 18 months.
In contrast to the 2% to 3% net cut in its full-time workforce, Microsoft also plans to cut its temporary and contract workers by up to 15%, said CFO Chris Liddell.
These and other cost-saving measures will help Microsoft save $600 million this quarter, which Liddell said amounted to 10% of Microsoft's cost base, and US$1.5 billion for the full fiscal year ending June 30.
"This is very prompt action," Liddell said.
In a separate letter to employees that was also filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Ballmer confirmed previously reported cuts in travel expenses, real estate expansion , as well as eliminating merit raises for fiscal 2010 that would have taken effect in September.
Ballmer acknowledged that the cuts were needed as Microsoft's "cost base has grown significantly."
For instance, Microsoft's R&D costs for the six months ending Dec. 31 totaled $4.6 billion, up 23% from the prior year and due mostly to "increased headcount-related expenses," according to a Microsoft 10-Q filing with the SEC today. The 23% increase also included several major Microsoft acquisitions such as aQuantive Inc. and Fast Search and Transfer .
Some Wall Street analysts questioned the shallowness of the cuts, saying that Microsoft's expenses would still be up on a year-over-year basis.
But Ballmer said Microsoft's cuts are deep and were done in the expectation that the PC market and the macroeconomic environment would not "quickly rebound."
"This is not a recession. The economy is resetting to a lower level of consumer and business spending," he said. "Our view is that things will stay down one year, two years, we don't know exactly what it will be."
Ballmer added that because of Microsoft's heavy investment in research and development, operating profit margins would not quickly rebound because of shrinking revenues, especially in its Windows business.
Despite shipping 50 million copies of Windows in the second quarter, revenues from Windows XP and Vista fell 8% as its most lucrative customers -- businesses -- chose to hold on longer to their existing PCs, Ballmer said.
In terms of severance for the 1,400 employees to be immediately laid-off, Microsoft expects to pay "several tens of millions of dollars, less than $100 million," Liddell said.
Microsoft is not planning to cut employee costs in order to spend more on acquiring companies, Liddell added.
"We may buy a few SMEs, but activity will be relatively low in the next quarter or two," he said.
One analyst pressed Ballmer on whether Microsoft would consider selling off certain businesses to raise cash and get leaner. But Ballmer rejected the idea. "I like our portfolio," he said. "The board likes our portfolio."

About the Creator
Epstein's signature "fresco" style of photography is realized using a distinctive technique of layering multiple images, including ancient sites and the richly encrusted strata of Italy, to create a painterly, textured picture, revealing timelessness and the beauty of the imagination, and developing an illusion of shape and depth. Although contemporary in method and style, Epstein's artwork is seen somewhere between a painting and a photograph, transporting the viewer to another time and place. Her large-scale photography has been exhibited extensively in the United States and Italy. With psychological awareness gained through decades of practical experience as a therapist and creative coach, Diane Epstein, M.A., has focused on the art of expression, encouraging individuals to live and love in a manner that reflects their true nature. She leads photographic, journal writing and travel adventures, facilitating each person to develop their own style, passion, and vision.

The prudential regulator has cautioned financial institutions against paying their executives bonuses that promote excessive risk taking.
In a warning about the dangers of ill-directed incentive payments, the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority said encouraging senior executives to pursue short-term profits could have serious consequences.
"There is no doubt that the global financial crisis brought forth numerous examples of remuneration practices that spurred on excessive risk taking, often with fatal consequences for the firms concerned," APRA general manager David Lewis said in a speech to a Financial Institutions' Remuneration Group conference.
"Thankfully, most of these examples occurred overseas . . . But we also shouldn't sit idly on our hands.
Mr Lewis said APRA was not concerned about the big pay packets of bank chiefs as long as they did not include incentives to take on undue risk in the pursuit of "short-term profits".
He said the remuneration practices of Australia's financial institutions were generally good compared with overseas counterparts.
"Despite all the public angst about the size of bank executive pay packets, we're ambivalent about that," he said.
"What APRA looks at is not the 'how much' of executive pay, but the 'why'.
"Our concern is to make sure that the remuneration practices adopted by regulated financial institutions are sound and do not embed risk time bombs on the balance sheet which could undermine the viability of the firm in the future."

Are You a Maternal Gatekeeper?
While most mamas dream of having their hubbies help more around the house and with the kids, USA Today reporter Sharon Jayson says this is easier said than done. The difficulty is due to what she calls "maternal gatekeeping" — mom staying in the role of primary caregiver, which prevents true equality between parents. Do you step back and allow your partner to do what he needs to do or do you encourage him to do what you want him to when it comes to your offspring?

China's New Celebrity Car Salesmen
The U.S. billionaire duo of investor Warren Buffett and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates on Wednesday handed celebrity-level endorsement to Chinese auto maker BYD, in which Buffet's investment firm has a nearly 10% stake.
The two Americans rode in a BYD van from behind a cloud of mist and onto the stage of a Beijing media event for the company, before giving lavish, if seemingly rehearsed, praise for the van.
"It was fantastic. I am amazed at the quality of that vehicle," Gates said after exiting the van, called the M6.
Buffett was even more animated. "If I had a car like that in high school, I would've had a lot of dates!" the 80-year-old quipped, without explaining exactly why. The M6 has what the company calls a smooth "bullet" design meant to reflect "elegance and distinction," though it looks mostly like a standard van.
Gates also talked about his use of Twitter, without noting it is one of the many websites blocked in China by government censors. In response to a question from the event hostess, Gates said he follows "some" Chinese people on Twitter. "You know, Twitter isn't that big here yet," he said.
The billionaires' boost for BYD comes on the heels of remarks Buffett made in China on Monday, when he declared, "BYD is the right choice for me."
But as reporters chased Buffett and Gates after the event Wednesday, Buffett declined to comment on whether he would boost his stake in BYD, saying only that "we love it."
MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co., a unit of Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc., holds a 9.89% stake in the Chinese battery and car maker.
Buffett and Gates are in China this week on a mission to encourage China's richest citizens to donate to charity.

Jamie Spears must watch Supernanny
Britney's dad Jamie Spears is apparently running a tight ship. OK! Magazine reports Britney is kept on a regimented schedule which makes sense. Children crave structure and discipline which Jamie Spears is dishing out like Bruce Lee if he ran a day care for 26-years-old. I rock at metaphors:
Britney's father is not allowing her to drink alcohol, see her friends and insists that she prays in her pajamas every night. Jamie has also been encouraging his daughter to teach childrens' classes at her favorite hangout, Millennium Dance Complex.
But Britney's fighting back and plotting a return to her care-free days of acting like a batshit moron in public:
So far, Britney has been compliant with her dad's rules, but sources tell OK! that the singer is in the midst of plotting her revenge. Britney has been sending secret text messages to her former party pal and cousin Alli Sims and is reportedly working with her and Sam Lutfi to try to oust her father as her conservator.
I guess Britney Spears is getting tired of having to take a bath before bed every night. But she's got her dad fooled. She just locks the doors, runs some water and plays with her Barbies on the floor. Ha ha. Suckers.

FOR the third week running the weather wiped out most of the Sunday local football programme.
The only one game that survived saw Basingstoke and District League Division Three leaders RAF Odiham Families entertain Ghost, who they had already been comprehensively beaten in the reverse fixture 8-1 in October.
Ghost actually played quite well in the first-half, facing into the wind as the match alternated entertainingly from one penalty box to the other.
Alex Thompson scored a single goal for Ghost and the game was still closely contested with RAF Odiham Families just 3-1 up at the interval.
In worsening conditions in the second-half the home side added seven more goals to win 10-1.

Archaeologists examine ancient pottery to identify a culture's preferred cooking methods and to determine which of its members was the World's Greatest Dad. Make timeless memories with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $10 for $20 worth of paint-your-own pottery
- $10 for $25 toward BYOB Ladies' Night on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday
During drop-in sessions or designated Ladies' Night, artists of all levels can select bisque pieces of pottery, such as a mug ($12–$16), a platter ($8–$24), a bank ($12), or a figurine ($12). They then settle in to The Clayroom's cozy confines, where they can embellish their pieces with paints and designs. If they choose acrylic paints ($4/painter), they can take their creations home immediately; if they select the glazing and firing process ($8/painter), the pieces will be ready for pickup in one week and also will be food-, microwave-, dishwasher-, and oven-safe.
The Clayroom
At The Clayroom, an evening spent decorating bisque pottery pieces can spark conversation and unleash each guest's inner artist. Inside the cozy white abode embellished with green shutters, visitors settle in with their selected pottery pieces—such as a coffee mug, a piggy bank, or a cereal bathtub—then brush on various paints to create their own inimitable pieces of art. In addition to date night and ladies' night, the DIY studio plays host to birthday parties, bridal showers, and corporate events.

Talks on a bipartisan proposal to extend unemployment benefits are expected to continue into Tuesday afternoon, with supporters still holding out hope that an agreement can be reached on plans to pay for the extension.
Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) announced Monday afternoon that the Senate will vote Tuesday to end formal debate on the measure. He signaled that there is still no agreement between Democrats and Republicans to hold votes on several GOP amendments designed to pay for the $6.5 billion in unemployment benefits.
But the delay is seen as an encouraging development, because it will give senators more time to work broker a potential deal. Six Republicans joined with Democrats last week to launch debate on the proposal, authored by Sens. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) and Dean Heller (R-Nev.), that would provide an estimated 1.3 million long-term unemployed Americans with financial relief. Supporters hope that an agreement to pay for the extension can be reached so that several Republican senators join with Democrats to approve a new round of benefits.
A robust bipartisan vote of support likely would compel House Republican leaders to take up the issue. Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) has said he is willing to debate extending the benefits so long as they are paid for.

Nearly a quarter century into his career, DJ Premier has settled into a comfortable niche as one of hip-hop's most prestigious producers for hire. He's the collaborator of choice for any rapper looking to demonstrate a commitment to East Coast rap traditions, and though his beats aren't particularly exclusive (last year alone he contributed them to more than a dozen albums), they're a reliable highlight of almost any album that features them. With their distinctive bounce and precise repetition, his tracks have a way of making even the most pedestrian rappers sound like greats—and that knack has come in handy in recent years, since unfortunately Premier isn't backing actual greats like he used to.
Where the producer once worked with in-their-prime legends like Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z, and Mos Def, his 2010 compilation DJ Premier Presents Year Round Records: Get Used To Us could only muster a lineup of middling upstarts, fading old-school vets, and underground also-rans. The compilation also made it clear why Premier works primarily in one-off shots these days: While his production still dazzles in brief bursts, its luster fades over long exposures. That weakness also dogs The Kolexxxion, his new LP with Bumpy Knuckles, the combative rapper formerly known as Freddie Foxxx. A hothead whose claim to fame, like so many underground acts of the '90s, is having been passed over by fame, Bumpy Knuckles isn't the first rapper that fans would have chosen for Premier's first full-length collaboration since the death of his longtime Gang Starr partner Guru, but the two have history and chemistry. The rapper is an old cohort from the Gang Starr days, and his gruff voice and curt delivery nicely complement Premier's concise loops.
Middle age has done nothing to temper Bumpy Knuckles' pugnacity. He still raps almost exclusively in boasts, insults, and accusations. He's as gangsta as ever, he insists, still strapped with a vest of ammo that he'll eagerly unload on anybody who questions his mettle. On "Shake The Room," he threatens to take a crowbar to Guru's controversial late-life associate Solar. On "D'Lah," he calls out "emotional, industry-ass rappers," a likely Drake dis that's certain to go unanswered. If all that thuggery comes across as a little silly from a man his age, it was a little silly the first time around, too. For all his bluster, he's always been too much of a comic presence to be believable as an actual threat.
With his steadfast commitment to old battle-rap ideals, Bumpy Knuckles is a fitting collaborator for Premier, another '90s traditionalist who has also shown similarly little interest in updating his style with the times. If not for a few scattered contemporary references, The Kolexxxion could easily pass as a lost album from 1998. That's the essence of the album's charm, of course, but also its ultimate shortcoming. Even when The Kolexxxion is good—and it's usually pretty good—its playbook is so overfamiliar that it's incapable of truly surprising or exciting.

text: Posted March 15, 2014 Here you go. "I am no longer a No. 1 wide receiver and I know that," Smith told Sirius XM's Bleacher Report radio on Thursday after the Carolina Panthers released him. "And I've been knowing that, and I don't have a problem with that. "I will adjust to whatever team and whatever role that I would have. The only thing is I would like to know what that role is and what the expectation is so I can exceed it." Maybe this was Smith being politically correct because he now has to sell himself to another team. But I believe Smith, soon to be 35, was ready to morph into the "other" receiver if the Panthers signed somebody capable of taking over the top spot. He insists he's been asking management to get another top receiver for several years. On his willingness to step into his new role and "play nice with others": Smith was asked directly about those doubts on WFNZ-AM radio in Charlotte. He didn't refer directly to Gettleman, who had the ultimate say in the decision to release him, but he talked about individuals who hadn't been with Carolina since Day 1 judging him. Gettleman is beginning his second year at Carolina. "So your inaccurate assumption of something that has transpired is called an opinion," Smith said. "Whatever the case may be, my job is to be a football player." "You can't allow an individual or individuals to change how much a corporation or organization has treated me. I won't allow that to happen, and I won't think about it." Basically Gettleman wanted Smitty out, and, of course, Smitty feels some type of way about it. And I think that he should. All this poo that I am hearing about Smitty's negative effect on Cam and the team in general---basically the flipping of the script---is definitely going to be taken with a block of salt (at best), and that block is going to be bigger than the chip on Smitty's shoulder. 3 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mugabe scorns Western 'demonisation'
Page Tools
Hundreds of homes have been built in Zimbabwe's capital to replace some of the thousands destroyed in a widely criticised official "cleanup" campaign, the government said today ahead of a planned visit by a United Nations envoy.
President Robert Mugabe earlier scorned Western "demonisation" of his five-week program called Operation Murambatsvina, or "Drive Out Trash," which has left between 200,000 and 1.5 million Zimbabweans without homes or livelihoods.
Today's announcement followed the condemnation by 10 UN human rights experts of the demolition of tens of thousands of homes in shantytowns and the destruction of street markets and vegetable gardens.
More than 200 international human rights and civic groups on Thursday demanded an end to the campaign, as have Western governments, including the United States, Britain and Australia.
State radio in Zimbabwe reported today that the first 500 of 5,600 new homes were ready for occupation in the capital, Harare, and 250,000 plots of land had been made available immediately countrywide.
A special envoy of UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan is scheduled to visit Zimbabwe next week to assess Mugabe's campaign.
Opposition political groups say it is aimed at punishing those who voted against the ruling party in recent parliamentary elections.
The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corp also reported that Mugabe said he would receive the envoy "so as to enable the secretary-general to understand and appreciate what we are trying to do for our people, who deserve much better that are now being romanticised as fitting habitats for them."
Mugabe also pledged three trillion Zimbabwean dollars ($A422 million) for 1.2 million houses and plots of land by 2008.
He urged Zimbabweans faced by widespread international condemnation of the campaign "to remain focused and disregard the machinations of the West trying to demonise the country," according to ZBC.
The 81-year-old president, who has ruled the southern African country since independence in 1980, said the mass bulldozing of houses and businesses was to curb "lawlessness, illicit foreign currency dealings, black marketeering, rampant thefts, prostitution and other
social ills so detrimental to social morality and decency." He claimed that the program had been "well-received by the majority of our people."
Police say the blitz - in which 42,000 people have been arrested, fined, or had their goods confiscated - has resulted in a 20 per cent drop in crimes, including murder, house robberies and car theft.
Zimbabwe's Roman Catholic Archbishop Pius Ncube called for Mugabe's arrest and prosecution yesterday.
Speaking at the Vatican, Ncube alleged that Zimbabwe's government planned to drive disaffected urban voters back to the famine-hit countryside for political re-education, as the Pol Pot regime did in Cambodia in the 1970s.
Both the African Union and President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa have refused to condemn what they call Zimbabwe's "internal affairs."

MSHA News Release: [09/18/2007]
Contact: Matthew Faraci Amy Louviere
Phone: (202) 693-9406 (202) 693-9423
Release Number 07-1428-NAT
MSHA announces new process for collecting civil penalties
ARLINGTON, Va. - The U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is implementing several new changes to improve its civil penalty payment process, the agency announced today.
"These are the first of several changes that we are making to streamline our debt collection process," said Jay Mattos, acting director for MSHA's Office of Assessments. "Our goal is to establish a better process that is more user friendly for everyone."
New Mailing Address - Beginning October 1, all payments for civil penalties must be mailed to a new address: U.S. Department of Labor/MSHA, P.O. Box 790390, St. Louis, MO 63179-0390.
Electronic Funds Transfer - Payments that are made by check will be converted into electronic funds transfers (EFTs) and electronically debited to a company's account for the amount of the check. The debit usually will occur within 24 hours and will be shown on the company's regular account statements.
Assessment Statement Delivery - MSHA will deliver monthly assessment billing statements via Federal Express. Federal Express delivery requires a street address. P.O. boxes and drawers may not be used.
MSHA asks that each company ensure its address of record reported on the Legal Identity Report is correct. Addresses of record on file with MSHA can be reviewed on the agency's Web site at www.msha.gov/drs/drshome.htm. If another address is desired, the Legal Identity Report can be updated by filing a paper copy that can be obtained from the mine's servicing district office or online by accessing www.msha.gov under the Forms/Online section of Quick Links.
Independent contractors must also ensure that their records with MSHA are up-to-date and contain street addresses. Contractors should provide MSHA with the following information: Contractor ID, contractor name, street address, city, state, zip code and phone number. Information can be sent by mail to: Assessment Center, 7 N. Wilkes-Barre Blvd., Stegmaier Building, Suite 432, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18702; by facsimile to (570) 826-6778, Attn. Robin Salmon; or via e-mail to email@example.com.
Notices about the new mailing address, EFTs and assessment statement delivery are being included in current assessment invoices or mailed separately to operators and contractors. For additional information on MSHA's new debt collection improvements, please visit www.msha.gov.

TERRY FITZGERALD, a Perth property agent, has made an emotional return to Bali to lead negotiations to buy the site of the Sari Club, where scores of people died in the 2002 terrorist attacks.
After years trying to locate the mysterious owner of the site and then persuade him to come to the negotiating table, the talks, if successful, will prevent the vacant lot from being developed into a nightclub complex.
A group of Australians, backed by the Governor of Bali, I Made Pastika, wants the site to become a rare green space in bustling Kuta, a landscaped memorial garden and place of peaceful contemplation.
Mr Fitzgerald's teenage son, Brendan, died in the second Bali bombings of 2005, when a suicide bomber detonated himself in a restaurant. Mr Fitzgerald, who was with his son, was injured and now uses a wheelchair.
It was his first time in Bali since the attacks.
''Not a minute goes by when I don't think of Brendan,'' he said. ''It's extremely emotional being here. If it wasn't for the Bali Peace Park, I doubt I would ever come back. I certainly wouldn't be here right now.''
The talks with the representatives of the land owner, the Jakarta businessman Sukamto, were sponsored by the Governor.
Two hundred and two people died in the 2002 attacks on Paddy's Bar and the Sari Club, including 88 Australians.
The vast majority of those who perished died in the inferno at the Sari Club, where a massive car bomb was detonated as revellers drank and danced. The Balinese nightclub impresario Kadek Wiranatha, who owns the lease on the land, has fought hard to build an upmarket nightclub and restaurant complex there.
His campaign for the nightclub upset victims of the bombings but was backed by influential elements of the Balinese media. However, the intervention of the Governor and one of Bali's most senior Hindu priests proved pivotal in blocking the development and persuading Sukamto to consider selling.
Ceremonies were held on the Sari Club site but the priest, I Pedanda Gede Tarukan Manuaba, said they were not sufficient.
''The souls of the dead may still be there,'' he told The Bali Times this year, speaking in support of the Bali peace park concept. ''If they are, there will be a disaster at that site in the future if a nightspot is built.
''For instance, ceremonies have been performed at the site for the souls of the Balinese. But for the souls of non-Balinese, such as from Java, ceremonies for them may not have been performed, and they may still be there.''

Nomadic folk duo Blessed Feathers wanders its way into the spotlight
When I last spoke with Donivan Berube and Jacquelyn Beaupre – the duo better known as Blessed Feathers – in the fall of 2012, the band was gearing up to release their first album, "Peaceful Beasts in an Ocean of Weeds." Three of their debut's six songs were inspired by places the duo had lived in, places like Lakeland, Fla.; Holyoke, Mass.; and their current base in Wisconsin.
And they've only continued to add places to that list, thanks to a two-year span that's seen the folk duo go nomadic, release a new full-length album, build buzz locally and nationally, and find themselves the cause of a Internet commenter war on the usually docile waves of NPR. It's been quite a road, one that now leads to a lower level show at The Pabst Theater on Saturday night.
Oh, and they got engaged. On Dec. 18, 2012, near the end of a gig opening for Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons at Turner Hall Ballroom, Berube popped the question to his bandmate in front of friends, her family and fans.
It was an exciting event for the musically talented couple, one that sparked even more developments the following year. In February of last year, Berube and Beaupre quit their jobs at Januli's Pizzeria and Italian Deli in West Bend to performing, touring the country's national parks and living nomadically.
"It's pretty intense, but we have good friends and good family," Berube said.
While Blessed Feathers was traveling the country and living from place to place, they made the time to record and release a full-length album, "Order of the Arrow," this past fall.
"We had spent that whole year on the road, and the album was recorded right in the middle of it," Berube said. "So we were trying to capture that spirit, and it sounds like we kind of did, at least based on everyone's feedback. I still write songs the same way about the places we spent time in and the people we met there."
That includes Wisconsin, which doesn't always get the fondest treatment in Berube's lyrics. In reviewing the album, the Journal Sentinel's Piet Levy even noted that the lyrics were "sometimes ugly … (singing) of beer guts."
"A lot of Wisconsin cabin fever came through," Berube said. "In the winter, I'd start hating myself, and all these songs would be all this pent-up angst because I couldn't go anywhere. I was so damn cold all the time. I got pretty intense."
Considering how this particular winter has gone, many Wisconsinites might find themselves agreeing with Berube's "ugly" lyrics, even if that wasn't the point.
"I didn't mean them to be ugly; I meant for them to be real," Berube explained. "There are songs that I look back on and think, 'What the hell was I talking about?' And then you listen to albums like Bruce Springsteen's 'Nebraska,' and they're all these heart-aching stories. You think, 'Wow, this is what a song should really be if you're going to have words at the base of the songs.' They should mean something to at least yourself, if not anyone else."
Even so, "Order of the Arrow" made solid waves locally and nationally, going as far as NPR's "Morning Edition." The network picked up on the duo's rich folk tunes – and their story of roaming romance – and interviewed them for an end of the year segment called "Music We Missed."
"My expectations for that thing were rock bottom," Berube said. "Obviously, 'Morning Edition' has a massive audience, but she had to edit the interview down to three or four minutes. And it's a four- or five-hour show, so who's really going to be paying attention to our tiny, tiny, tiny part? And of those people, who's going to care enough to look us up? And of those, who's going to care enough to buy an album?"
Apparently plenty. The interview became a viral hit, with the link scoring tons of comments and Berube and Beaupre receiving letters from across the country offering words of praise, encouragement and places to stay. One person even paid $100 for the album.
"We received dozens of emails saying, like, 'Hey! I'm from Manhattan, Kansas. If you're ever coming through and need a place to stay, come on over," Berube recalled. "I'm like, I'll probably never be in Manhattan, Kansas, but thank you!"
Of course, as is typical with Internet commenters, not everything was positive. In fact, the interview sparked a modest bit of controversy, mainly coming from Berube's talk about his days as a Jehovah's Witness. In the interview, he explained that as he and Jacquelyn – not a Jehovah's Witness – fell more in love, he made the decision to write a letter of dissociation and leave the faith rather than be expelled for breaking the rules. Since then, his family and old friends in the faith have shunned him.
"There was the negative side of people, who thought that I was badmouthing the organization, which I made a point to say in the interview that that wasn't how I felt," Berube said.
Shortly after the segment's posting, Berube posted a note to Blessed Feathers' website explaining the shortened interview, that there were no hard feelings toward his former faith nor a mission to shame or twist the facts about it. Even with his first dose of commenter outrage, however, the positive words outshine the negative.
"I wasn't offended by any of it," Berube said. "I thought it was damn interesting. I got so many letters – apparently every ex-Jehovah's Witness ever listens to NPR now – with people saying, 'Wow, it's so reassuring to hear of an ex-Jehovah's Witness that's doing something with his life.' People would tell me, 'You're a shining beacon to the rest of us who lost everything.' It was really encouraging."
Blessed Feathers' year of adventure and new places hasn't quite ended yet. At the beginning of the new year, Berube went off on a six-week residency in Peru to give English lessons to the local children. He also is all prepared to start recording another album on Sunday in Cudahy.
And even with a bigger profile, Berube and Beaupre still plan on living their nomadic journey. Berube noted that they might stop and find a place to settle down in the late summer, but for the time being, Blessed Feathers has other goals in mind.
"All any musician should worry about is writing better songs. It's easy to get sidetracked by the business of the music industry and worry about getting press and worry about making the right connections. But as a musician, your job is to make better songs. That's all I want and think about: trying to make my music and my albums better. There's so much sh*tty music out there. We don't need any more; we just need better music."

Maple Leafs back to tackling home woes
By LANCE HORNBY, QMI Agency
As a kid, Mike Kostka loved going to the Gardens, riding the wave of the Doug Gilmour-era Leafs and later attending the electric overtime win that launched the Air Canada Centre.
So he knows how a home crowd should be able to lift the Leafs. But now you can put Kostka in with the rest of the befuddled Buds, trying to figure out why Bay Street has become such an icy minefield. The latest chapter in this mystery unfolds this week, when the Leafs have three shots to better their record of 1-4 after taking six of seven away from the ACC.
Never, in 94 seasons of Arenas, St. Patricks and Leafs, in three different rinks, has Toronto won a half dozen on the road before recording its second home win.
"I think everyone is trying to figure that out," Kostka said Sunday at the MasterCard Centre. "I've read where it's been a league-wide pattern (home losses this lockout year), at least right now.
"But sorting it out is something we're trying to do. We want to make a good

Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero is back from her tour of Turkey and is talking about her trip.
The U.S. State Department invited her to talk about the importance of women participating in politics. Turkey is holding elections on March 31, and few women are running.
Right now, no women serve as mayors of major Turkish cities, and less than 1% of all city council members in that country are women.
Rogero said she talked about her experience as a woman in politics.
"All of this was about encouraging the women to run and encouraging the men to understand what value this brings to their political parties, to their communities, and to their governing structure," said Rogero.
Rogero's 17-year-old granddaughter went on the trip with her. The mayor paid for those expenses.
You can see photos from her trip here.

If this sounds like you, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com explaining why you deserve the town's most active crown.


text: Sorry I can't get link to paste with iPad but in newszone broadus is reporting that Romo had option for a running play or pass play and checked off in to a pass play. Then Romo locked on to the low percentage throw to o- tree instead of hitting Austin dragging over the middle for the easy first down ? I wanted Red dead because of that call and it turned out to be Romo ???!!!! I've had sympathy for Romo till this point with our o-line and dumb receivers. But to have a veteran quarterback make that decision in that situation makes Romo a huge part of the problem. Moronic idiot decision that probably cost us the game.

Muscat trying to turn PL into a copy of the PN - Gonzi
Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi said this evening that a vote for the PN would be a vote for the real thing and a guarantee for the future while a vote for Muscat was a vote for instability and a risk not worth taking.
Speaking at the PN's stronghold of Balzan this evening, Dr Gonzi said that Labour was so ashamed of its past that it was trying to disguise itself into a copy of the PN. However, he argued, that people have got used to associate the PN with stability, sound finances and a strong sense of direction which Muscat could only aspire to imitate.
"We are the real PN and if you want a sound future you know that the right choice is the PN once again. In order to win, Muscat is trying to turn his party into a copy of the PN but everyone knows that he is just a false imitation."
"Muscat is so ashamed of Labour that he speaks, dresses and acts like a Nationalist. But please don't let him fool you. The real nationalists are us," he said.
Dr Gonzi said that whenever Labour were in power they made a mess out of the country.
He said that the last time Labour was in power in 1996, even though for a brief period, it froze Malta's application to join the EU and tried to change the VAT system, creating the biggest deficit the country has ever seen. Now history was repeating itself and Labour was once again promising projects that if implemented would mean a disaster for the country's future.
Dr Gonzi said that despite the difficult international situation, the PN had managed to create a thriving economy which produced more wealth and created more than 20,000 new jobs.

!!The original books
* Mowgli leaving the jungle for the very first time. He just witnessed almost the entire wolf pack, who had always been his family, turn against him because of Shere Khan's manipulations, and try to kill both him and Akela. It's even the first time Mowgli actually cries in his entire life.
--->"What is happening to me? What is wrong with my eyes? Bagheera... am I dying?"
* In "Red Dog", [[spoiler:Akela's death. After helping the Seonee Pack fight off the dhole, he succumbs to his wounds but not before telling Mowgli his debt to the wolf pack is repaid and he must return to men.]]
* When Mowgli leaves the jungle for the last time to return to the world of men and must say good-bye to his animal friends.
!!The Disney animated film
* ''That'' moment when there's a very real chance Baloo had been killed by the tiger.
* Baloo "coming back to life", while Bagheera is still eulogizing him.
-->"Greater love hath no one than he who lays down his life for his friend. When great deeds are remembered in this jungle, one name will stand above all others: our friend, Baloo the bear. The memory of Baloo's sacrifice and bravery will forever be engraved on our saddened hearts. This spot where Baloo fell will always be a hallowed place in the jungle, for there lies one of natures noblest creatures."
* Bagheera finally convincing Baloo to take Mowgli to the man-village. Despite knowing Mowgli for all of a day, [[PapaWolf a great deal of attachment and devotion has been placed onto Baloo]], making his realization that he will have to let him go (and break his promise) genuinely emotional. And his desperately trying to get around to explaining this to the blisfully unaware Mowgli, which is rather painful to watch. Mowgli feels betrayed when Baloo tells him he should go to the man-village, then running away and abandoning him.
-->'''Baloo:''' [[PlatonicDeclarationOfLove I love that kid.]] I love 'im like he was my own cub...
-->'''Bagheera:''' Then do what's best for Mowgli and not yourself!
** And during that scene, Mowgli is happily singing "The Bare Necessities" and gets excited for a fun day with his friend, which gives Baloo doubts about breaking the bad news to him.
* "My Own Home" is just a haunting tearjerker of a song.
* Mowgli's second encounter with Kaa shows how hurt he is by Baloo's betrayal.
-->'''Mowgli:''' ''(to Kaa)'' I don't trust anyone anymore.
** Also, Mowgli seems rather... less scared of Kaa than you'd expect, since he clearly knows Kaa wants to eat him. While he's clearly trying to resist Kaa, he doesn't seem especially scared, and doesn't even try calling for help, likely because he knows who would come. It's like he's so depressed by this point that a part of him doesn't really care if Kaa eats him or not, just as long as he doesn't have to leave the jungle.
-->'''Kaa:''' It's like you said man cub, you can't trust ''anyone!''
* The final scene where Baloo just stares blankly for a moment when Mowgli shrugs and walks away, and then is coaxed by Bagheera into pretending as if everything is just fine, since Mowgli is safe where he belongs.
* The fact that [[RealitySubtext this was the last animated feature which Walt Disney personally worked on before his death]]. The scene where Baloo and Bagheera dance off into the sunset on a light-hearted note can be a way of saying "Life goes on" and that all is well.
** After the film was completed, Disney's personal nurse, Hazel George, went up to animator Ollie Johnston in tears, saying that the way Baloo and Bagheera danced off into the sunset together was perfect, since it was the same way [[GoOutWithASmile Walt had gone out.]]
* The Sequel lets Mowgli give Baloo a proper goodbye. As in crying into his stomach.
-->'''Mowgli:''' Come with me.
-->'''Baloo:''' You know I can't do that...
!!The 1994 live-action film
* Mowgli crying while holding [[spoiler:Baloo]], who got shot helping him. [[spoiler:He got better at the end.]]

I had to upgrade Drush on simplytest.me to work correctly with Drupal 8, now commerce kickstart fails to build while other distributions still work.
Comment #1ryan.armstrong CreditAttribution: ryan.armstrong commented
I've gotten this too but on my own custom make files. For me, if I keep rerun the drush make command it eventually works. It sometimes takes 2-5 tries. I am also using Drush 7. I'm pretty sure this is a bug with Drush 7 and not Commerce Kickstart.
Comment #2danielphenry CreditAttribution: danielphenry commented
|» Critical
+1 to that. I upgraded to drush 7 and started getting this error intermittently with my custom make file. It fails 4 out of 5 times. Very annoying as drush make is now unusable for me. This is a critical issue as it incapacitates the tool.
Comment #3iMiksu CreditAttribution: iMiksu commented
|» Normal
Drush 6 is the recommended version, so keep using that instead when building D7 sites.
I think this isn't an issue with commerce kickstart itself. Should we move this issue to drush project?
Comment #4ryan.armstrong CreditAttribution: ryan.armstrong commented
Yea this isn't an issue with Kickstart it's with Drush. And Drush no longer uses d.o. They're on Github and there is an open issue tracking this:
@iMiksu: This error can also occur in Drush 6. It seems the only way to fix it is to go back to Drush 5 or just keep rerunning the command in Drush 6 or 7 until it works.
This issue should be closed.
Comment #5iMiksu CreditAttribution: iMiksu commented

Comment #6ricardo_reyes CreditAttribution: ricardo_reyes commented
@iMkisu @ryan.armstrong
Do you know if there a fix to the Drush issue?
GitHub has not found a resolution to the drush include file either.

2009 was a fantastic year for emerging junior gold producers and stocks in the Gold Stock Strategist Emerging Junior Gold Producers (GSSX) Index ©. The GSSX Index© outperformed GLD, XAU, HUI, and the TSX Venture Exchange.
The GSSX Index© powered ahead 123 percent, beating the yellow metal, beating the HUI gain of 30%, beating the XAU gain of 36%, and even beating the TSX Venture Exchange of 92%.
Data from Yahoo Finance
Components of Comparison Indexes
The XAU is a capitalization weighted index comprised of 16 large cap precious metals mining companies traded on the Philadelphia exchange. Companies in the index include: Agnico Eagle Mines (NYSE:AEM), Anglogold Ashanti (NYSE:AU), Barrick Gold (NYSE:ABX), Freeport-McMoran Copper and Gold (NYSE:FCX), Gold Fields (NYSE:GFI), Goldcorp (NYSE:GG), Harmony Gold Mining (NYSE:HMY), Kinross Gold (NYSE:KGC), Newmont Mining (NYSE:NEM), and Pan American Silver Corp. (NASDAQ:PAAS).
The HUI—AMEX Gold BUGS (Basket of Unhedged Gold Stocks) is a modified equal dollar weighted index comprised of 15 major gold mining companies including Agnico Eagle Mines, Barrick Gold, Compania de Minas Buenaventura (NYSE:BVN), Coeur d'Alene Mines (NYSE:CDE), Eldorado Gold (NYSE:EGO), Gold Fields, Goldcorp, Golden Star Resources (NYSEMKT:GSS), Harmony Gold Mining, Hecla Mining (NYSE:HL), IAMGOLD Corporation (NYSE:IAG), Kinross Gold, Newmont Mining, Yamana Gold (NYSE:AUY) and Randgold Resources (NASDAQ:GOLD).
The TSX Venture Exchange index represents the 2,300 companies listed on the TSX Venture Exchange. The TSX Venture Exchange is a public venture capital marketplace for emerging companies who have not yet met the requirements for listing on the TSX, which deals mostly with well established companies. The TSX Venture index is a much broader index sector-wise than the others and includes companies other than gold miners such as junior natural gas explorers and other companies—primarily in the natural resource sector.
Finally, GLD is an ETF designed to track the price of gold. However, GLD was up 20 percent in 2009, trailing the actual price of gold. In 2009, the price of gold closed the year out by rising from a close of $884.30 on December 31, 2008 to $1096.50 on December 31, 2009, registering a 24 percent gain.
Composition of the GSSX Index©
As I have indicated in previous reports, the composition of the GSSX is subjective, as are all indices. Nevertheless, the GSSX is a fair representation of the universe of emerging junior gold producers.
Here is a list of the 18 companies included in the GSSX Index©.
Alamos Gold (AGIGF.PK)
Alexis Minerals Corp. (AXSMF.PK)
ATW Gold (ATWGF.PK)
Aurizon Mines Ltd. (AZK)
Capital Gold Corp. (CGLD-OLD)
Gold Resource Corp. (NYSEMKT:GORO)
Gold-Ore Resources (OTC:GREXF)
Jaguar Mining (NYSE:JAG)
Jinshan Gold Mines (OTCPK:JINFF)
La Mancha Resources (OTC:LACHF)
Metanor Resources (MEAOF.PK)
Minefinders (MFN)
MDN Inc. (MDNNF.PK)
New Gold Inc. (NYSEMKT:NGD)
New Guinea Gold (NGUGF.PK)
Richmont Mining (NYSEMKT:RIC)
San Gold Corp. (OTC:SGRCF)
Timmins Gold (OTC:TMGOF)
Originally, the GSSX was comprised of 20 stocks. Two companies in the index were bought out during 2009—Kinbauri and Castle Gold.
The 20 companies included in the original index represented about 40% of all emerging junior gold producers and about 1.3 million projected ounces of gold produced in 2009. Each company represented 1/20 of the total index. It was not—and is not—weighted by market capitalization. I removed Castle Gold and Kinbauri from the index for the end of year calculation in this presentation, so each company represents 1/18 of the total index.
GSSX© Component Performance
The top performer by far for the year in the index was La Mancha Resources, with a whopping 724 percent gain. Other high flyers include San Gold (237%), Gold Resource (221%), Timmins Gold (190%), New Gold (160%) and Jaguar Mining (131%). The average gain for the year was 123 percent. The only company that did not register a gain for 2009 was MDN Inc. (0%). One interesting item of note is that after conducting a sensitivity analysis by removing a clear outlier, La Mancha, and adding back in the returns for Kinbauri and Castle Gold the results are nearly identical at about a 120 percent or so gain.
The GSSX Index©, will have 3 to 4 new component companies added for 2010 and will be updated more regularly.
