|Prisoners in Harare Central Prison, Zimbawe
Zimbabwe's Constitutional Court began its year Wednesday with a request from 15 death row prisoners for their sentences to be commuted. Rights lawyers are hoping the death penalty will be outlawed in Zimbabwe this year.
The lawyer for the 15 said they have been waiting for their executions for periods ranging between 4 and 20 years.
All have been convicted of murder or treason, which carry capital sentences in Zimbabwe.
Their lawyer, former Zimbabwe finance minister Tendai Biti, said after this case is over he wants the death penalty completely outlawed. "When someone has been sentenced to death, he cannot be subjected to death row for so long and wait for so many years on death row.We are saying that is unconstitutional.
We would want to challenge the death penalty. And I believe we will do so this year, once parliament passes amendments to Criminal and Evidence Act. We do not believe in the death penalty," he said."You can also see that some of the judges do not believe in it, including the minister of justice who is now vice president who does not believe in it. They just have not had the courage to simply say, 'Let us outlaw it.'"
The vice president Biti refers to is Emmerson Mnangagwa, who opposes the death penalty.
In 2013, Mnangagwa said he would "rather resign than sign certificates for executions." "We have 89 people on death row. 2 of them are women. They are lucky, I did not sign the papers for their execution. At the end of the day, we have commuted [their sentences] to life imprisonment," he explained.
Since those comments, the number of prisoners awaiting execution has risen to more than 100.
Biti said a ban on the death penalty must come from the courts, instead of depending on the benevolence of 1 politician.
On Wednesday, he argued that Zimbabwe's constitution protects everyone, including convicted prisoners, against torture or cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment.
He said the long periods his clients have spent in prison, never knowing when they might be hanged, amount to such punishment. Death-row prisoners in Zimbabwe are not told in advance of the date and time of their execution.

117 Zimbabwe inmates on death row
The 14 inmates are seeking an order to have their cases remitted for resentencing so that their sentences can be commuted to life sentences.
Zimbabwe has 117 inmates on death row at a time the country does not have a hangman, a situation that has left a number of the condemned prisoners subjected to psychological torture as a result of the delays in carrying out the executions. This was revealed at the Constitutional Court in Harare Wednesday where Shadreck Chawira and 14 others are challenging the constitutionality of their continued incarceration while they await the hangman's noose.
Harare Central Prison is the only prison designed for death row inmates but some of the prisoners sentenced to death were now being kept at Chikurubi Maximum Prison because of shortage of space, the court heard.
Justice Luke Malaba, leading a full bench of the Constitutional Court, reserved judgment on the case.
The 14 inmates are seeking an order to have their cases remitted for resentencing so that their sentences can be commuted to life sentences.
The lawyer for the inmates, Tendai Biti, told the court that his clients had been on the death row for periods ranging from 3 to 21 years and had suffered enough punishment that there was no need for them to be executed.
He said their continued incarceration was in violation of sections 51 and 53 of the Constitution and infringed on their rights to life and human dignity, which were the most important in the Bill of Rights.
Biti said he had 14 separate affidavits from the inmates explaining the conditions in prisons and the psychological torture that they suffered as a result of their placement on death row.
Given that his clients had served lengthy prison terms with various problems associated with incarceration in Zimbabwean prisons, Biti submitted that the correct remedy was to for the court to declare unconstitutional the continued incarceration and the blanket imposition of the life sentence.
"The court can make any order which is in the interest of justice... refer back to the High Court or resentencing taking into account the delay and what would have taken place over the years," he said.
State Counsel Olivia Zvedi said the severity of the crimes committed by the applicants warranted the treatment they were getting from the State, including being kept in solitary confinement for more than 20 hours per day.
Biti later told journalists that he would soon be challenging the death penalty as it was discriminatory and unequal.
"We would like to challenge the death penalty and we believe we will do so this year once parliament has passed amendments to the Criminal Procedures Amendment Act," he said.
"Some of the judges also don't believe in the death sentence. The fact of the matter is that there are some people, like the Minister of Justice, now the vice president, who feel that it is not right, they just don't have the courage to say let us outlaw it .The Constitution itself is discriminatory, women cannot be executed but men can be. Anything that is discriminatory and unequal is unconstitutional."

As disinterest in Facebook amongst the teen crowd continues, Facebook has stepped in to offer the Snapchat photo-messaging app fave $3 billion. Not exactly a paltry sum, yet the CEO of Snapchat, 23-year-old Evan Spiegel, has turned it down. Snapchat is HQed in Venice, California USA. China's Tencent Holdings has made its investment offer to Snapshot that would value the 2-year-old company at $4 billion dollars.
Facebook has already got Instagram with the help of $1 billion dollars, last year. Instagram are a popular messaging app with capabilities to rival Snapchat. Instagram already has gone a long way towards making amends for teenagers who felt like mom and dad on Facebook, also, were a bummer; being at the same party they are, so to speak.
Facebook spokesperson Denise Horn said: "We don't comment on rumors and speculation".
When are we going to get a Facebook "hmm" button. Actually, the spokesperson above could simply have commented: "Hmm".

Just a quick question to the community about what software people use to prevent data leakage. For example, we have sensitive Excel spreadsheets that users email around internally but these could easily be forwarded to their home email address, etc unchecked.
What solutions are there to prevent this happening?
Look forward to your reponses...

What you are looking for is a DLP (data loss prevention) tool set. This software is complex to setup and if not done right creates a lot of false positives. You will want to cover all of your egress points like email, usb, removable hard drives, dropbox, etc. There are email gateways that support DLP in that if it detects a DLP covered topic the gateway will either block the email or hold the email for retrieval. You should also have a DLP component on the desktop to monitor what is copied to flash drives and internet sources like dropbox. I know you guys have privacy rules in the EU, watch out to ensure you don't get mixed up in labor relations because you are monitoring personal (private) communications.

Thanks for the quick reply. We currently have a Sophos Email Gateway appliance as well as Sophos Enpoint Security on the desktop. I will take a look at their capabilities in more detail and post back.

We had a spreadsheet that also contained some very sensitive data that we didn't want floating around either.
First thing we did was to password protect the spreadsheet, then I wrote some macros that hid all of the sheets containing data, leaving the default Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3 visible.
You would have to enable the macros (which were also password protected) to show the content. The macros would also ping several known servers on the network and make sure that it got responses. If all of the servers didn't respond, the macro wouldn't run and the sheet wasn't usable.
Is this approach bulletproof? No, but it did keep the data within the company. I also know that the multiple server ping worked quite well. Especially when I had one of the servers down for maintenance and I started getting phone calls from someone trying to use the sheet.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

Stocks discussed on the in-depth session of Jim Cramer's Mad Money TV Program, Tuesday August 5.
2 Picks from Larry Robbins: Flextronics (NASDAQ:FLEX) and Monsanto (NYSE:MON)
Larry Robbins recommended both Flextronics (FLEX) and Monsanto (MON), partly because of their generous buybacks. Flextronics is the second largest manufacturing services company in the world. Companies outsource their manufacturing to Flextronics, and the company has four divisions. Wearable electronics and integrated network solutions are strong segments. This company is a "total cash cow," which interests Robbins. Management plans to buy back 20% of its market cap, and until only recently, got hit by the 10% limit on buybacks in its native Singapore. The company managed to get an agreement with Singapore's government to allow it to buy back more stock, and the sky is the limit. Robbins predicts the stock could go 20% higher, and Cramer thinks this amount is conservative.
Monsanto (MON) may be "one of the most hated companies on earth" by those opposed to GMOs. Declining agricultural prices are a problem too. Robbins likes the company's buyback and its potential in emerging markets. As meat consumption rises, the demand for cheap feed and cheap seeds will rise. Estimates for the earnings seem to be too low, and it could be a breakup story with the spinoff of its chemicals business. Monsanto could be worth 17% more than it is now if it breaks up. The stock has been slammed because of falling agriculture prices and news that it is using debt to buy back stock. Cramer agrees with Robbins that Monsanto is a buy.
It's All About Russia: MasterCard (NYSE:MA), Chevron (NYSE:CVX), Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), Disney (NYSE:DIS). Other stocks mentioned: Sturm, Ruger & Company (NYSE:RGR), InvenSense (NYSE:INVN)
People are finally starting to realize that stocks are being hit not because of the Fed or earnings, but because of fears that Russia will invade the Ukraine. It is time to stop ascribing "magical powers" to the Federal Reserve. Cramer doesn't think the Fed is nearly as much in control of interest rates as many think. Vladimir Putin's reaction to the sanctions is to prepare for a military attack, and the Western leaders don't seem to know how to deal with Putin. There is an automatic selling of oil stocks when the dollar is strong, so even though the current conflict may bring oil prices up, oil stocks are still sold off because of the high dollar. Those selling off Chevron (CVX) and Exxon Mobil (XOM) are not thinking very far off, but are selling just because the dollar is higher.
Airlines were strong the first part of the year, but the downing of the Malaysian airplane might have changed the direction of this sector. Now there are concerns about air safety, but Cramer thinks this is not just because of Russia; the Ebola virus might also be causing unease about travel. Gold "should be" soaring on global tension, but Cramer says the jury is out on why it hasn't risen, but it could go higher.
MasterCard (MA) didn't go higher after a terrific quarter, partly because of its large business in Russia. The country has a history of expropriating funds from foreign companies. Plenty of positives, like Disney's (DIS) great quarter were ignored because of Russia. If stocks traded on earnings, stocks would have been up on Tuesday.
Cramer took some calls:
Sturm, Ruger & Company (RGR) has been controversial and in addition, it has been inconsistent. "I am away from the gun trade," said Cramer.
InvenSense (INVN) is alright as long as investors know this is speculative.
Are Coach (NYSE:COH), Whole Foods (NASDAQ:WFM), Panera Bread (NASDAQ:PNRA) and Target (NYSE:TGT) Bottoming? Other stocks mentioned: Costco (NASDAQ:COST), J.C. Penney (NYSE:JCP)
Coach (COH) has been able to make a bigger shift toward products for men than many expected. China is moving the needle for the company in a positive way. The North American same store sales were down 17%, which is a terrible number, but Cramer feels better about the stock and its prospects, including its 3.7% yield. Cramer thinks COH is headed up, but isn't sure whether it will rise in a straight line.
Whole Foods' (WFM) sales are decelerating, and it doesn't seem worthwhile to pay up for WFM when others are cheaper and are making stronger sales. Without real evidence that the company is turning around, Cramer would rather own Costco (COST). Panera Bread (PNRA) doesn't seem to want to go down anymore. When its CFO left unexpectedly, the stock didn't drop dramatically. Management is buying back stock, and it seems to be turning around. Target (TGT) is still being punished for its security breach, but management is fixing the company. The stock could rise, but Cramer isn't too excited about it, because basically, he's not thrilled with retail in general. One thing he can say about all four companies is they have strong balance sheets. It would be a mistake to short any of these. There is no guarantee their stock prices will rise, but it is reasonable to speculate on a bottom on any of the four after significant homework and patience in the investment.
Cramer took some calls:
J.C. Penney (JCP) is doing better than expected in an environment that has been tough for retail. It can be a hold, but Cramer wouldn't buy any more JCP.
Off The Charts With Tim Collins. Stock mentioned: SunCoke (NYSE:SXC)
Cramer spoke with technical analyst Tim Collins, founder of retrowallstreet.com. Collins thinks coal could be ready to rebound while long-term treasurys might fulfill bearish predictions. The chart of coal has been "abysmal," but coal is "beautiful" from a risk/reward standpoint. Collins sees $5 downside and $20 upside. Collins notes a bullish divergence and evidence that coal is bottoming. Collins thinks coal is the cheapest group in a expensive energy neighborhood. He looked at the chart of SunCoke Energy (SXC) and sees a breakout on momentum. It has shown a dip, but this dip may lead to a rally. "This is my favorite energy name to own period. I see $30 this year and $35 to $40 next year." Cramer says SunCoke has an advantage of exposure to steelmaking as well as energy; "That is one beautiful chart," said Cramer.
Treasurys have been an "easy trade" but there is a longer-term price resistance will a sharp pulldown going the opposite direction of price and causing a bearish divergence. Collins thinks these treasurys are "long in the tooth" and are not likely to rally. "I would not be a buyer of treasurys," Collins said.
CEO Interview: Steve Singh, Concur Technologies (NASDAQ:CNQR)
Concur Technologies (CNQR) is a high-flying cloud name that sold off with its cohort, but it has been working its way higher. The company provides services for the business traveler. It reported a stellar quarter with a 9 cent earnings beat and revenues that rose higher by 28%. Management gave great guidance, and bookings were strong. The stock has a rich valuation, but has given a 17% gain since Cramer last spoke to the CEO at the end of April.
CEO Steve Singh discussed how Concur is a market leader and has lucrative partnerships with major companies. Concur makes expense accounts easier and provides multiple options for the client. The expense report "literally files itself." Concur's partnership with Airbnb has been game-changing for the company's services. Cramer thinks Concur might be a buy on decline as long as investors understand that it is a volatile stock.

Attacks and chaos unfold on national TV
By Robert Bianco, USA TODAY
Now that TV has shown us what mass murder and destruction
truly look like, maybe we'll lose our taste for them in movies. Yet even though
we knew what we were seeing was actually happening, it was almost impossible
to believe. Watching the pictures coming out of New York and Washington of the
attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon Tuesday morning, your first
thought may have been that it all seemed so oddly and sickly familiar
an Independence Day come hideously to life. "It looks like a movie,"
said NBC's Katie Couric.
If only it were.
That momentary disconnect between fiction and a hard-to-face
reality was noted in a prime-time address by President George W. Bush, who said,
"The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings have filled us with disbelief
... and a quiet, unyielding anger."
The speech was a follow-up to his even shorter and less
satisfying TV appearance shortly after the attack, when he was once again unable
to use the medium to effectively convey any message or emotion. The florid prime-time
speech at least managed to hit the right comforting notes, though his delivery
is still appallingly awkward. Americans are accustomed to presidents providing
solace on TV at times of national tragedy, and Bush is unable to fill that role.
First word of a plane hitting one of the World Trade Center's
twin towers came during the networks' morning news shows at 8:50 a.m. ET. The
newscasts went live to the scene, which allowed them to capture on television
the second plane hitting the other tower, an image that was repeated endlessly
and is likely to be repeated for years to come.
And it wasn't over.
Just as former State Department official Larry Johnson
was telling NBC that other sites might be targeted, we could see an explosion
from the window of USA TODAY. NBC confirmed soon after that it was the Pentagon.
Shortly after the explosions, ABC, CBS and NBC began to
share all video and satellite footage, an admirable decision that ABC's Jeffrey
Schneider said might be unprecedented. Programming schedules were canceled,
so the news coverage could continue through prime time. And through their families
of cable outlets, electronic journalists made sure the news reached everywhere.
VH1 aired CBS news feeds, Fox Family Channel and Fox Sports Net carried Fox
News, some local PBS stations ran BBC reports, ESPN aired ABC News feeds, and
TNT aired CNN.
Surely anyone who had a TV turned on stayed glued to it,
and anyone who heard the news elsewhere rushed to find a TV even if it
meant gathering in front of a store window or joining a crowd at a bar. And
as with the explosion of the Challenger and the assassination of President John
F. Kennedy, it is sadly likely that those people will always remember where
they were as they watched events unfold. Even for a country grown used to televised
tragedies, the scale of this disaster is too overwhelming to forget.
Overall, what viewers found on their sets was a group of
dedicated journalists struggling to keep up with an incredible story against
great odds and sometimes in the face of great danger. For an hour, the terror
moved so quickly that TV had a hard time keeping up. As ABC was reporting the
news of the Pentagon attack from a New York rooftop at 10:02 a.m. ET, viewers
could see the collapse of the Trade Center's south tower in the background.
That was followed, almost unimaginably, by the collapse of the north tower
once again, caught live on television.
As compelling and important as those images were, there
was a danger in airing them from every conceivable angle in an ever-recycling
loop, as the newscasts did all day (and are likely to do today). Pictures that
incredible can begin to take on a grotesque fascination of their own; you marvel
at them and lose all sense of their meaning.
To their credit, reporters tried to remind viewers that
more than just buildings were lost. Up to 50,000 people may have worked in those
towers, and it was impossible to say Tuesday morning how many of them had just
been killed.
"There is simply no way to accurately describe the emotion,"
said ABC's Peter Jennings. "The landscape of New York City has just been changed,
and you have to assume that thousands of lives have just been extinguished."
When incredible events are happening one after another,
it is hard for a live newscast to maintain perspective, let alone accuracy.
Jennings offered a wise admonition: "We want to hold our breaths for a moment,
and not get in a mode that the country is under attack."
Yet, unfortunately, TV didn't always take his advice. ABC
ran an inaccurate report of an explosion at the Capitol, an error compounded
by CNN, which ran a "Breaking News" headline, "Explosion on Capitol Hill." Later,
CNN ran a live report from Kabul, Afghanistan, that incorrectly implied the
city was under retaliatory attack by U.S. cruise missiles. News divisions excuse
such mistakes by saying they were just passing along reports as they were received.
In this case, however, reality was frightening enough. More care should have
been taken to make sure TV wasn't compounding the problem.
Admittedly, chaos ruled, and news people are not immune
from fear or even panic, particularly when many of them had no idea whether
they might still be in danger. In the heat of attack, we can't expect TV to
serve as some comforting electronic hearth, the role it often fills during national
disasters. Sometimes, there is no comfort to be offered.

Two new trustees, Michael Dee and Ann Parsekian, have been elected to three-year terms, according to David A. Budd, chairman of the board of the Great Swamp Watershed Association (GSWA), which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. A current trustee, Nancy Conger of the Millington section of Long Hill Township, was elected to another three-year term. She is a certified financial planner and member of the development committee.
Dee is a longtime resident of Bernardsville whose "concern and interest in local environmental issues, combined with his diverse business background, make him a valuable trustee," said Budd.
Dee is a graduate of Yale University and is active in its alumni association. In addition to being a partner in a candy manufacturing business, he is working towards a master's degree in evolutionary history from Drew University. He's also an avid skier and ice hockey player.
Parsekian has been a volunteer and member of the association's local issues committee. She's been reporting on land use news in Bernards Township and Bernardsville for their newsletter and website. A 16-year resident of the Basking Ridge section of Bernards, she recently completed a certificate in historic preservation from Drew and is especially interested in the role of historic preservation in environmental preservation and open space acquisition. "Ann brings a new perspective to the board," Budd said. "Her interest and experience in local issues and historic preservation make her a welcome addition." Also re-elected for their second three-year terms were: Robert Blanchard of Green Village, who is currently vice-chairman of the board of trustees and chairman of the development committee. Julie Keenan of Summit, who has been an active member of the development committee. Linda Wilson, also of Summit, a certified financial analyst and treasurer o f the board of trustees.

By Kelly Whiteside, USA TODAY
COLUMBIA, Mo. After one of the greatest football victories in school history, against the University of Missouri's biggest rival, longtime Tigers fan Bill Cocos was invited into the winning locker room. Of all the Mizzou football moments Cocos has seen during the last half-century, he never thought he would see this day.
Missouri rose to No. 1 in the Bowl Championship Series standings after beating Kansas last Saturday and now is just one win away — the Big 12 title game against No. 9 Oklahoma on Saturday — from playing for the school's first national championship.
Cocos, who runs his family's plumbing business in the St. Louis suburb of Lemay, hasn't missed a Missouri home football game since 1948 and has been at every away game but two since 1969. In the locker room Saturday, he sat in his wheelchair surrounded by Tigers players who lined up to shake his hand. Then head coach Gary Pinkel took the crystal Big 12 North Division championship trophy and placed it in Cocos' lap.
"Bill, you deserve this," Pinkel said. "We're so happy for you."
As much as Missouri's 36-28 win against Kansas belonged to its once-embattled coach, to its Heisman Trophy hopeful at quarterback, and to an upstart team that began the season unranked, it also belonged to a plumber from Lemay and every other long-suffering Tigers fan — from Blue Springs to St. Joseph to Poplar Bluff and beyond.
In this surreal season in which the national title picture has been as clear as the Big Muddy, the long-downtrodden Tigers' rise to the top has been its most magical surprise.
"I never thought at the age of 76 that I would be in the dressing room of the No. 1 team in the country," Cocos says. "It was like giving me a million dollars or more. I have to pinch myself once in a while to make sure it's true. It's nice to know if you follow a team, they don't forget you."
If the Tigers (11-1) can avenge their only loss of the season and beat Oklahoma (10-2) in the Big 12 title game in San Antonio (8 p.m. ET, ABC) they will finish first in the BCS standings and play for the national championship Jan. 7 in New Orleans. Their opponent would be West Virginia, if the Mountaineers — No. 2 in the BCS standings — defeat Pittsburgh on Saturday night.
Missouri hasn't won even a conference crown since it shared the Big Eight title in 1969. Since then, it has been an unremarkable program, with 13 consecutive losing seasons from 1984 to 1996.
But now, the state is in a frenzy over Tigers football. They're cleaning out the local Tiger Spirit store of anything gold or black. They are knocking back shots of Black and Gold (Goldschlager schnapps, which has flecks of gold mixed, plus Jagermeister, which is black) at Harpo's bar in downtown Columbia. They are gobbling up tickets for the Big 12 title game. (Mizzou's allotment of 8,500 sold in about three hours Monday morning.)
Signs of Tiger mania are everywhere. Along Interstate 70, the state's department of transportation signs usually flash messages such as "Drive Safely." Last Saturday, they read: "Go MU, Beat KU!" School officials say all the attention has helped drive up applications to the university by 20% compared with this time last year.
Two days after the win against Kansas, a packed house greeted Pinkel for his radio show, Tiger Talk, at Spanky's Sports Zone in the Holiday Inn Select near campus.
The Knuckleheads, a group of friends from Columbia, have spent their Monday nights at this spot since the early 1990s. They received their moniker from Tiger Talk host Mike Kelly, the team's play-by-play announcer, who joked when the team was mediocre that only a bunch of knuckleheads would show up for every show.
As loyal as they are to the Tigers, even the Knuckleheads can't believe that Missouri is on the cusp of playing for a national title. "During the middle of the season, a friend said to me, 'This is what we've been waiting our whole life for,' " says Greg Wren, a computer programmer. "I never thought it would happen but it has."
Most devoted Missouri fans figured the Tigers would be good this season, says Knucklehead Larry Windmoeller, who has missed just two home football games during the last 27 years. But, he says, "This is beyond comprehension."
The loyal Knuckleheads
The Tigers entered the national rankings this season after their third win, on Sept. 15, then climbed steadily on the strength of their fast-paced spread offense run by junior quarterback Chase Daniel, the nation's eighth-ranked passer. Mizzou is the only team in the nation to score at least 30 points each game this year.
It's easy to root for a winning team. Loyalty is rewarded with victories and championships. But why devote yourself to a loser? Why tailgate in shivering temperatures when the only reward is heartbreak? During the worst of times, did the Knuckleheads ever look inward and ask, "Why bother?"
"No, no," Wren says, reacting as if he's just been asked the most ridiculous question ever posed. "Even if we kept going 5-6, we still would keep showing up."
During the team's 13-year streak of losing seasons, the Tigers' average home attendance was 40,732. The Mizzou bandwagon is bigger this year; the average attendance at Faurot Field was 60,232.
True fans always believe tomorrow will be a better day. But faith was hard to come by as recently as 2004, when the team went 5-6 and some fans called for Pinkel's job. During the lean years, at times, the only fans at Tiger Talk were the Knuckleheads and the Antlers, a student cheering group.
To join the Antlers, a group of 30 students named after a 1976 Saturday Night Live skit in which Lily Tomlin performed an "Antler Dance," a prospective member must possess a quick wit to heckle the opposing team, leather lungs and unwavering dedication. (The Antlers are at every home basketball and football game.)
Kyle Morris, an Antler from Blue Springs and a graduate student, says the team's success is changing the perception of his home state.
"I think Missouri is largely ignored east and west of here," he says. "The perception is that we're just flyover land for people going from east to west. But sports success furthers awareness. People on the East and West coasts know Nebraska and Oklahoma because of football."
'It might be a football school'
Across the nation, Missouri is known more for its men's basketball team than for football; the Tigers have been to the NCAA tournament 21 times but have never reached the Final Four.
"When we came here, we knew Missouri was known as a basketball school, but we're trying to change that," says senior running back Tony Temple, who is from Kansas City, Mo. "Our school is known for Brad, Sheryl and journalism," Temple says, referring to actor Brad Pitt and musician Sheryl Crow, who are former Mizzou students, and the highly regarded journalism school that will celebrate its centennial next year.
"But," Temple says, "it might be a football school one day."
The day seems to have arrived already. From plumbers to politicians, Mizzou Mania has spread across the state. Like the Knuckleheads' Wren, many say that all those years of losing have made this year especially sweet.
John Ashcroft, the former U.S. attorney general who was a U.S. senator, governor, state attorney general and state auditor in Missouri, says the state's mood is measured by the "grin coefficient," which right now is large.
"It's one thing to win a game over Kansas," he says, "but when Kansas becomes a party to promoting Missouri (in the national polls), it's wonderful."
Claire McCaskill, the state's junior U.S. senator who grew up in Columbia and graduated from Mizzou in 1975, will be at the Big 12 title game Saturday. For the Kansas game, she wore an MU sweater her mother knitted for her father in the late 1950s, when the senator was 5.
"Suffice it to say, I would not have the nerve to talk about politics in Missouri this week," McCaskill says. "It is all football, all the time."
Another lifelong resident of Columbia, NASCAR star Carl Edwards, is close to the football program and the university because his stepfather, Jim Sterling, is a journalism faculty member. Edwards was on the sideline for the Kansas game.
"I was like, 'Man, I've got to go to this game.' I've never been into football because I'm so involved in racing, but it's the biggest game of my life," says Edwards, who plans to be at the Oklahoma game.
Cocos will also be in San Antonio, of course, just as he has for 441 of the team's last 443 football games. Cocos, who played the trumpet in the Marching Mizzou band during his college years, says he has one more goal in life.
"I want to see them play for the national championship before I go. If that don't come, well that's the way it's meant to be," he says. "But I sure hope it does."
Cocos hasn't made plans for New Orleans because he doesn't want to jinx his Tigers. "But if it does happen, God willing and the creek don't rise … I'll be there."

and you should be seeing your surgeon NOW for recommendations on how best to achieve symmetry. Something is not right and you need an evaluation to ensure that your bigger side is not continuing to get bigger. If you had a major asymmetry, some strategy should have been employed to help improve symmetry so I'm assuming you got different sized implants to help with this. Regardless, you need to be seen to either figure out what is happening or to have your surgeon provide you reassurances that all is truly okay.
Almost 4 months post-op and one implant has dropped and is much larger than the other, should I be worried?
I had a look at the photo you posted some time ago. It does appear that the right implant sits somewhat low. You have saline implants which, as you know, are heavier than the silicone gel devices. It is important to wear excellent, professionally-fitted support. Additionally, I recommend you try to see your surgeon before the new year to discuss your concerns. All the best.

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph and I see why you are concerned. Compared to your appearance on a previously posed question your implant looks to have suffered a malposition issue, with the implant having dropped too low and towards the side of your body. I would see your surgeon for an in-person evaluation so that they can diagnose the displacement and recommend the needed surgical treatment. Best wishes.

Thank you for the picture and questions. Although I am not sure what you looked like pre-op, the picture you have shared shows some significant asymmetry that does not appear typical at four months post-op. I would contact your surgeon to be seen sooner to discuss the problem. You may require revision surgery to correct the problem, but this should only be discussed with your surgeon or another board certified plastic surgeon after a physical exam.
Best of luck!
4 Months Post Op
Thank you for your question and photo. It would be helpful to see pre op photos. I recommend that you see your Plastic Surgeon in person for evaluation. Breasts can settle at different rates normally but if you feel that one is increasing in size at this point you should be examined in person.
All the best!

Breast asymmetry 4 months post op BA
Thanks for your questions. It is very difficult to answer your question with seeing how asymmetrical you were pre op and without seeing more images (side profile). Based on the one image you sent, it seems to me that your right breast crease was significantly lower than the left pre op. I don't think your right implant has "bottomed out" much because your right nipple is sitting at the correct spot relative to your implant (when compared to left breast). I hope that made sense to you. Voice your concerns with your surgeon. Good luck.
Why do my breasts look so different?
Thank you for asking about your breast augmentation result.
- There is no need to wait until January to see your plastic surgeon to assess your result.
- I agree with you that your asymmetry is quite unusual.
- I doubt that it will self-correct.
- The difficulty is in knowing what is causing this -
- Among the possibilities are significant asymmetry before surgery in which the larger side needed a reduction, deflation of a saline implant on the smaller side, a capsular contracture - among other possibilities.
- So a face to face discussion with your surgeon and review of your before and after photos is essential.
- A four month visit with a result such as this merits an early visit - even if nothing will be done until 6 months after surgery.
Always see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Best wishes - Elizabeth Morgan MD PHD FACS
Breast aug
Hi- From your photos you may have a capsular contracture which is contributing to your asymmetry. I recommend following up with your surgeon sooner than later to discuss your options and what he/she recommends. Hope this was helpful. Good Luck!
This degree of asymmetry at 4 months post-op does not appear normal
The one thing that I think is obvious is that your breasts look significantly different, and at 4 months post-op, I think you are right to at least question why this is so. It will be difficult to determine online what the exact source of the asymmetry is, as there are a number of possiblities. We have no opportunity to examine you in person, and we do not know how the breasts looked preop. It may be a case in which one breast has a fluid collection around the implant, and this has made it appear larger and lower, or conversely, the other breast may be firmer and tighter from a capsule contracture, which could then force that implant higher, producing the same kind of asymmetry. I would not wait for my January appointment if I were you. I would call the surgeon's office and tell them about your concerns so that they can schedule you to come in sooner for an evaluation. Best of luck.

Thank you for your question.Despite good intentions, online consultants will not be able to provide you (in any responsible fashion) with specific enough advise to be truly helpful. Given your concerns, you'll be best off seeking follow-up with your plastic surgeon, earlier that already scheduled if necessary, for in person evaluation.
Best of luck!!

Spring Risotto With Shallots and Lemon
Recipe by Shannon Cooks
This risotto recipe is a masterpiece, a fresh musical overture for your palate - dining on this risotto is akin to hearing a symphony played by the world's greatest philharmonic, performed in a glorious baroque concert hall.
Top Review by Annacia
I lightened this just a bit by not cooking the celery and shallots in butter but just softening them in water. The heavy cream became fat free evaporated milk and the only fat I used was about 1/2 to 1 a tsp of olive oil to replace the final butter. I love the lemon in this dish and, of course, whats risotto if you don't have the Parm. I don't think I'll add the rosemary next time as even the small amount came through quite strong. All in all it was a great side to the Souvaki Chicken that I will defiantly made again.

I quite like this campaign. It's fresh and the copy is quite thoughtful.
"Here's a little song for anyone who's ever hated. In the key of Grrr..
Can hate be good? Can hate be great? Can hate be good? Can hate be great? Can hate be something we don't hate?..."
Nice continuation (in style and tonality) of a multi-award winning MEGA HIT from a few years back for their revolutionary diesel engines.
The whole notion of taking/embracing something negative and turning it into a positive is not a new concept by any stretch. But when done right, it works like a charm.
Writing's cool. Why is the art direction so shit? Looks like Microsoft Word Art. Ruins a nice copy ad.

Compare redundancy insurance
Protect your income against accident, sickness and involuntary redundancy and receive a monthly benefit if you are unable to work.
Receive a tax-free monthly benefit if you are made redundant involuntarily. Protect up to 65% of your gross income with a benefit paid for up to 12 months.
Safeguard your income if you are unable to work due to illness or injury with policies designed to cover you right up to retirement age.
Protect your family home if you are unable to work with an income protection policy designed to cover your mortgage payments and associated costs.
Redundancy insurance, also referred to as unemployment protection insurance, is a protection policy that can pay you a tax-free benefit if you are made redundant involuntarily.
ActiveQuote are specialist redundancy insurance brokers and can help you compare redundancy insurance policies online to help you find a policy that meets your budget and needs.
Redundancy insurance is an income protection policy that provides financial cover for up to 12 months following involuntary unemployment.
If you have been made redundant involuntarily you should provide your insurer with any relevant documents needed to confirm your claim to receive your tax-free monthly benefit.
Based on your policy there may be a waiting time until you can receive your first payment. Typically this waiting time will be 30 days but you can choose a back-to-day-one policy that pays you after 30 days but then back dates payments to the day you were made redundant.
You can also increase your waiting period to reduce your monthly premium, for example if you had enough savings to cover two month's salary and you were happy to use these savings to cover your income then a policy with a 60-day waiting period may suit you better.
No one likes to think about being made redundant but with an average 1,300 redundancies made each day in the UK1 redundancy insurance may be worth considering.
If you are made redundant you can find yourself struggling to meet your mortgage repayments or rent payments and government support could prove insufficient.
As of April 2014, the maximum a person can claim for Jobseeker's Allowance is £71.70 a week2 but this could be even lower, depending on your circumstances.
If you think that government support would not sustain your lifestyle and cover the costs of utility bills, council tax, internet and TV contracts and food and clothes shopping then redundancy insurance can provide peace of mind.
When considering a redundancy insurance policy you can select how much of your gross income you would like to insure. Insurers will let you cover up to 65% of your gross annual income.
Many people take out redundancy insurance to protect:
Redundancy insurance is designed to cover an unsuspected unemployment situation such as involuntary redundancy. It is important to be aware of any exclusions regarding your unemployment insurance plan.

Power was certainly displayed by the Dunedin players in 2005. The team combined for 110 home runs and was led by third baseman Eric Arnold, who hit 19 dingers and drove in 72 runs while batting .274. Another player that was involved in the discussion for the award was outfielder David Smith. The outfielder hit .294 during the season with 14 home runs and 73 runs batted in. Over his final 28 games of the season, Smith hit .373 with 6 home runs and 26 runs batted in. Smith had a streak of seven consecutive games in August in which he drove in at least one RBI in those games and had at least one RBI in nine of ten games during August. Carlo Cota also had a solid season for Dunedin, after being demoted from New Hampshire as he struggled to begin the season. In 68 games, Cota hit .304 with 10 home runs and 35 RBI. Ryan Roberts who was promoted to New Hampshire to replace Cota was hitting .287 with 9 home runs and 35 RBI in 42 games. Clint Johnston was in a similar situation as Roberts. Johnston began the season with Dunedin, but was rapidly promoted to New Hampshire after he hit .310 with 4 home runs and 21 RBI in 42 games. One player who came through during the season half of the season was catcher Robinzon Diaz, who hit .294 on the season with 65 RBI. Diaz hit .324 during the month of July and .337 during the month of August.
We talked about him during the Lansing Offensive Player of the Year voting and he will come up once again. That is none other than Chip Cannon, who had perhaps the most surprising performance in the system in 2005. Cannon played in just 29 games for Dunedin and hit .384 with 14 home runs and 39 RBI. Although he had the highest average and the second highest home run total, unfortunately he does not qualify for the award. Cannon scored 28 runs and had a slugging mark of .830 in 112 at bats for Dunedin.
The winner of this year's award goes to a second year player, Adam Lind. The young outfielder hit .313 in 126 games and had 12 home runs and a team high 84 runs batted in. Lind also scored a team high 80 times and struck out just 77 times in 495 at bats.
Lind began the season on a hitting tear as he batted .360 over his first 22 games of the season. The 22-year-old then had a par performance in May and June before ending the season on a tear, not only with his batting average, but his power. The negative on Lind was that he would not hit for much power, however, he showed that his gap power translated into home runs as he got more comfortable in professional baseball. Lind hit .358 during the month of July and had six home runs and twenty runs batted in. Over his final 27 games of the season Lind hit .320 and belted four more home runs. He has two home runs over the first three months of the season and ten over the last two months of the season.
Nine of his twelve home runs came with runners on base and with the bases loaded he hit .364 in 11 at bats.

Isle of Ely rowers have one eye on spot at Rio Olympics
PUBLISHED: 09:26 06 August 2014 | UPDATED: 09:26 06 August 2014
Dan Clift and John Hale, members of the Isle of Ely Rowing Club, will be representing England in the Commonwealth rowing regatta this weekend.
The regatta, which takes place in Strathclyde Park, Motherwell, is an opportunity for rowers to show their versatility, as each rower needs to be able to compete in both sweep-oar and sculling events.
Clift is part of the GB Rowing Team Start Programme at the Isle of Ely club, run by GB coach Peter Lee, and is rowing in the open men's competition along with Robbie Massey and Tom Barras.
Hailing from Torpoint, Cornwall, Clift's talent for rowing was spotted in January 2010 through the UK Sport 'Tall and Talented' scheme and Clift is aiming for a place in the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
He said: "It's really good that I've found something I'm good enough to do something special with. Not everybody gets that chance."
Hale, who learnt to row at the City of Cambridge rowing club as a junior, has rowed for several Cambridge clubs and for the Cambridge University men's lightweight crew, before joining Isle of Ely to further his GB rowing ambitions.
He said: "It's great to have the chance to represent England at the Commonwealths and it's also a great stepping stone to the British senior team in the future."
Hale, along with Matthew Bedford (University of London Boat Club) and Nick Buckle (Leander) make up the lightweight group at the Commonwealth regatta.
Sponsorship has been key to both men achieving their current successes. Hale is supported by Cambridge Consultants, for whom he works, and Clift is a recipient of an award from The Lord Lieutenant's Fund for Youth, a Cornish organization that supports exceptional ability in a number of disciplines. Both men hope that their participation in the Commonwealth Regatta is one further step along the road to Rio.
