Tom (~1965-2009), who was retired to Fauna Foundation,
is Project R&R's ambassador (photo © Fauna).
Note: The Great Ape Protection and Cost Savings Act has not been and is not expected to be reintroduced, given NIH's 2013 decision to retire almost 90% of its chimpanzees.
Despite the enormous progress the Great Ape Protection and Cost Savings Act (GAPCSA) made in Congress, the 112th legislative session ended Jan. 3, 2012 without it passing. GAPSCA was one of many important bills a divisive Congress failed to act on or pass. However, given the successes on behalf of chimpanzees made since NEAVS' Project R&R: Release and Restitution for Chimpanzees in U.S. Laboratories campaign began in 2006, we are extremely optimistic the outcomes of our work and that of so many other animal protection organizations, sanctuaries, and legislators will continue to positively affect the lives of the hundreds of chimpanzees currently held in U.S. labs. For example, the NIH's December 2012 decision to retire 113 chimpanzees from the New Iberia Research Center (NIRC) in Louisiana and place them all in our federal sanctuary Chimp Haven – not in another lab as NIH had originally announced – is a milestone that anticipates the commitment NIH may finally be making to resolve a problem that is decades old.
On April 17, 2008, the Great Ape Protection Act (GAPA) was introduced into Congress. The bill – reintroduced in 2009 as H.R.1326 and in 2010 as S.3694 – would prohibit invasive research on great apes and retire all federally owned chimpanzees to sanctuary. With continued and growing bipartisan support in both the House and Senate, the bill was reintroduced again April 18, 2011 in the 112th Congress in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate and renamed the Great Ape Protection and Cost Savings Act (GAPCSA, H.R.1513/S.810).
GAPCSA would have phased out the use of all great apes in invasive biomedical research over four years and retired all federally owned chimpanzees. The bills were introduced by Representative Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) and Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), and had 177 co-sponsors in the House and 18 co-sponsors in the Senate. Despite this overwhelming and active legislative support, in the final hours the bill was successfully blocked by Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Ron Wyden (D-OR).
While other countries have already passed laws that limit or prohibit research on chimpanzees, the United States is the only remaining country in the world with a large population of chimpanzees held captive in its laboratories for use in research. An end to use of chimpanzees – and all great apes – in research will mark the first time a nonhuman species has been protected from use in invasive research in the U.S.

THE UK's first 'instant' homes have been put together in a Blackburn street, officially launching a project being touted as 'the solution to the housing crisis'.
The three-bedroomed, semi-detatched houses were built over a period of months in manufacturer's Easybase Home Ltd's factory in Lower Phillips Road and taken to Monmouth Road yesterday ready for construction.
The units, weighing 25 tonnes each, are made from galvanised steel and arrived in Whitebirk complete with baths, showers and kitchens already included.
There was an air of excitement as residents took to the streets to watch the unique construction work and film or photograph the process on mobile phones.
Jimmy Hicks, who lives in Monmouth Road said: "I think they're going to be all right these houses.
"I've had a look inside and they're all kitted out and ready to go.
"It's been really interesting to watch and I'm really impressed with them. The building work hasn't disturbed us at all."
Gayle Udokah, who also lives in Monmouth Road said: "I think it's fantastic.
"I've worked in construction and it's been amazing to see this coming together.
"It's not been like being next to a building site at all. There's no noise, there's no dust, there's no pollution flying around.
"I think it's a brilliant thing to be a part of and, of course, we'll have to see how it goes in the long term but it certainly looks like this is the future."
The first units were taken in two sections, lower floor then upper floor and roof, on the back of a flatbed truck and then craned into position before being fitted together.
Wendy Malone, head of project management at the Together Housing Group which commissioned the homes, said: "We'll be monitoring the performance of the homes very closely over the coming months.
"Fuel efficiency and security are very important to us and our customers so we're looking forward to seeing the results."
Ian Chew, chief executive of Easybase Homes, added: "The houses are built to the highest quality and...they are extremely energy efficient.
"Now we are able to manufacture a complete house in just three weeks we believe we have the solution to the housing crisis."

In its September issue the well-known scientific magazine Seed devoted considerable space to Adnan Oktar's continuing global activities. The article in question described the Science Research Foundation, of which Adnan Oktar is the honorary president and which engages in international activities aimed at demonstrating the invalidity of the theory of evolution, as "mounting one of the most potent offensives against evolution."
The article also contained the following statements:
0000-00-00 00:00:00
He"s [Adnan Oktar] the 50-year-old founder of Bilim Araştirma Vakfi ("Scientific Research Foundation"), a creationist organization mounting one of the most potent offensives against evolution outside of the United States.
In its latest campaign, BAV has opened more than 80 "museums" in restaurants, malls, and city halls across Turkey, each stocked with fossils, posters, and eager volunteers. [They instruct] … passersby that evolution cannot explain biology"s complexity and is against the word of God.
But unlike its western counterparts, Oktar"s group claims Darwin is responsible for communism, fascism, and terrorism. Terrorists, according to Oktar, are "social Darwinists hiding under the cloak of religion," while communists, still active in Turkey, are in "bloody alliance" with Darwinism. "Evolution is a communist and fascist belief," offers Tarkan Yavas, BAV"s president. "The Muslim community understands that now."
Turkey is among the most Western of Muslim nations. It teaches evolution in its schools… In 1985 the minister of education mandated that creationism be included in science textbooks. … Ümit Sayin, a neurologist at Istanbul University and outspoken critic of Turkish creationism, estimates that the number of university-educated Turks who understand evolution has dropped to 20 percent from 40 percent over the past 15 years…
Oktar claims to have 4.5 million followers worldwide, who read his hundreds of books and essays and have seen the dozens of television documentaries that BAV produces and provides free of charge to Turkish TV stations. BAV"s Web sites offer downloadable PowerPoint presentations and questions to challenge science teachers. The foundation organizes anti-evolution conferences and petitions and runs a telemarketing scheme to sell books by Harun Yahya (Oktar"s pen name), which are available globally in 29 languages…
In August, Science published an analysis of global public attitudes toward evolution showing that, out of 34 sample countries, the US and Turkey had the lowest acceptance of Darwin"s theories.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/2/2013 (1655 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It is always pleasing to go to a professional education session and learn some valuable things, especially when it is a subject about which you thought you "knew it all."
In helping out clients over the years who own cottages and vacation properties, as well as their houses, we have done a lot of research on the principal residence exemption (PRE) and have been able to save them thousands of tax dollars as a result.
The PRE allows the tax-free sale of a residential property that is "ordinarily inhabited" by the taxpayer, spouse (or former spouse), common-law partner or children of the taxpayer claiming the exemption. You can also claim a trust or estate.
If you sell your cottage, can you claim that as your principal residence (PR)? Yes, you can. Even a mobile home or houseboat can qualify, as long as you have slept there, basically. There is no time limit imposed on how often it was "ordinarily inhabited." Foreign vacation property may also be claimed.
Raw land does not qualify until a residence is constructed on it. Large properties and farmhouses require specific advice.
If you own one residence only and sell it, you do not have to claim that sale on your tax return. The claim is assumed.
However, if for some reason you do not want to claim the exemption on a particular sale, then you must file form T2091 (IND) to account for the capital gain. This would be the case, for example, if you sold a house with a small gain and wanted to pay the tax on half that gain while retaining the exemption for your cottage, which had a much larger gain.
Be sure to use this form in such a situation or you will lose the right to make the claim for all the years you owned the property that is sold.
You would also use the T2091 if not all of your gain on a sale is covered by the PRE.
Only one PRE is claimable by each married or common-law couple. The exception is for years up to 1982 when each spouse was allowed a principal residence.
One of the things I learned recently, in the excellent presentation by Aurele Courcelles to the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners, is common-law spouses can claim two exemptions for years up to, and including, 1993, when the Canada Revenue Agency included them in the definition of "spouse."
Further, same-sex couples can claim two exemptions up to 2001, when they became "spouses" under the tax rules.
Other good news for me was the PRE can be claimed by people who used a portion of their house as a business, as long as there is no separate area for the business and no capital cost allowance was claimed on previous tax returns.
For a duplex or triplex which is partly rented, the exemption can still be claimed on the residential (non-rental) portion when sold.
If you move into a property you have previously been renting out, or if you start to rent out your principal residence, then you have a "change of use" and a deemed disposition for tax purposes. In the first example, that would mean paying tax on half the gain at the time of change.
However, according to Courcelles, an election can be filed to defer the deemed disposition and maintain the PR for another four years if certain criteria are met. An advantage would be to defer paying tax until you actually sold the property, for example. The election "form" is simply a letter.
The PRE makes the gain on most people's house tax-free, whether they sell it while they are alive, or if it is sold by their executors after they die. If you own one property with none of the complications mentioned here, then you have nothing to worry about.
If you own multiple properties or have any of these other situations, then it's best to get good advice before selling any of them. At the very least, proper application of the PRE calculation formula will net you an extra year of exemption. Your saving from proper planning may be much more substantial.

We wants it. We needs it ... The precious film ticketsAnnabel Ross
Published: December 20 2012 - 3:00AM
THE Boxing Day excursion to the cinemas is a tradition almost as time-honoured as the Boxing Day Test.
But this year, movie-goers might want to pre-book their tickets even earlier than usual.
At Village Cinemas Southland in Cheltenham, all 3D Gold Class sessions of The Hobbit are already sold out, and there is only one Gold Class session of Les Miserables with a few tickets remaining - at 10.30pm.
Despite releasing extra sessions of both films on Monday, the sessions, even in the standard cinemas, are already ''heavily booked'', according to a staff member.
At Hoyts Victoria Gardens, it's a similar story.
The La Premiere and Directors Suite sessions for The Hobbit are almost sold out, with as few as two or three seats remaining in some cinemas.
Hoyts' spokeswoman Sara Hoogendoorn says the exclusive seating offered in La Premiere and the Directors Suite means ''demand always outstrips supply''.
General admission tickets to both films are still widely available at this stage, but are expected to be in short supply closer to the day.
Cinema Nova in Carlton is not releasing pre-sale tickets for Boxing Day until this Monday, and is extending its hours and increasing the number of sessions offered to cater to demand.
At Palace Cinemas Westgarth, in Northcote, 213 tickets had already been sold for Boxing Day sessions at the time of writing, and a staff member said she expected most Boxing Day sessions to sell out on the day, if not earlier.
Opening in the United States last weekend, The Hobbit broke a December record, taking $US84.8 million ($80.5 million) over three days. It's a figure that suggests this Boxing Day might be the biggest yet for Australian cinemas, as the film, along with four others, is released on December 26.
Les Miserables looks to be the second most popular movie on the day, while animated kids' flick Wreck-It Ralph, Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut, Quartet, and family comedy Parental Guidance round out the new release offerings.
''Boxing Day this year sees a greater mix of films with literally something for everyone,'' Ms Hoogendoorn says.
To avoid the queues and sold-out sessions on Boxing Day, booking ahead is advised.
To buy tickets without paying the (small) online booking fee, visit the cinema box office ahead of time to purchase Boxing Day tickets.

What do you think the worst GTA Clone is?
Coment Below
Not every free roam game is a GTA clone, Mafia and Mafia II deifinitely aren't. The GTA clone thing started after GTA 3's release, Mafia was set to be released before GTA 3 but was held back at the last minute and have you actually played Mafia II there are practically no similarities to the GTA series. In my opinion the Godfather series aren't GTA clones either also True crime: Hong Kong has been cancelled. Tom Talk 11:10, April 20, 2011 (UTC)
- Thank goodness that True Crime:Hong Kong was cancelled. Those games are atrocious. Police games should be like what LA Noire is going to be. Dan the Man 1983 03:03, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
- The Driver series isn't a GTA clone because it was released before GTA 3, the first driver game was released in 1999 GTA 3 was released in 2001, thats 2 years difference for everyone.
- I voted other, for the simple fact we shouldn't label something as a clone of something else. Because then everything is a clone of something else at some point. I'm sure there was a game GTA1 was based on. Plus calling a game a clone of another means you must not be enjoying the game simply because you are playing it and going "clone of (insert game/book/movie/comic/tv series)".

A 'CALCULATED' finance director stole around £150,000 from a sportswear firm while workers were losing their jobs, a court heard.
Father-of-three Christopher Harold Horsfield, 45, took the money over five years from Kooga Rugby and used it to subsidise his income and lifestyle.
He was unsuccessfully playing the stock market and using his employers' cash to bring his bank accounts and credit cards back into credit, Burnley Crown Court was told.
Kooga, meanwhile, a small company suffering from cash flow problems, was having to make workers redundant.
Horsfield, who had a four-bedroomed detached home in Orchard Drive, Oswaldtwistle, is now starting a six-and-a-half-year jail term.
After the case, neighbours on the quiet, new-build residential street, where houses sell for around £150,000, said they had not noticed him living an extravagant lifestyle.
One said: "He was just normal, that's why it was a bit of a surprise." Horsfield, who is not a qualified accountant, was caught after Cheshire-based Kooga was bought out by the JD Group for a nominal £1 in 2009.
An audit was later carried out and anomalies were found.
He evaded answering questions from bosses, telling them he was undergoing cancer treatment and that one of his children was critically ill.
He left JD Group on March 10, 2010 and nine days later, rang up the firm, stating he had done stupid things and needed to set the record straight.
Horsfield said he had been writing out Kooga company cheques in his own name and creating dummy invoices in the accounting computer system to balance the books.
He said he wanted to pay back what he had taken, but cancelled a further meeting and was arrested on August 18.
Horsfield, said to have used 'clever' means to hide the thefts in the books and accounts, claimed he was £40,000 in debt, but a judge slammed his actions as greed.
The defendant had earlier admitted seven counts of theft, three of removing criminal property and two charges of attempting to pervert the course of justice.
Horsfield, who struck between March 2004 and December 2009, had no previous convictions. He faces a proceeds of crime hearing on September 26.
The hearing was told Horsfield, who has been on remand in Manchester's Forest Bank prison, had become the first mentor in business and IT studies there and was teaching people how not to do what he did.
Alexander Langhorn, prosecuting, said Horsfield abused his position of trust at Kooga.
The defendant had worked at Kooga as finance director from 2004 until 2010.
He was a director in name only, worked there for 10 years and, as a trusted worker, was promoted when the firm was taken over by JJB Sport Group in 2004.
He was qualified as an accounting technician. Mr Langhorn said in July 2009, the JD Group bought out Kooga, which had been experiencing difficult trading times since 2007.
When the figures failed to add up, Neil Greenhalgh, the financial controller at JD, investigated and it was found accounting files had been deleted from the computer system during the weekend of February 12 to 14, 2010.
Mr Langhorn said: "During the time Horsfield was stealing from Kooga, it was a small company suffering from cash flow problems which led to employees having to be made redundant."
The police investigation revealed that during the course of the thefts, the defendant was living well beyond his means.
Mr Langhorn said as the case neared trial, Horsfield produced emails to the prosecution, seeking to implicate others in the company of wrongdoing.
The prosecutor said the defendant had been the subject of a restraint order, limiting his use of bank accounts and access to funds.
Between January 2011 and February 2013, Horsfield put £188,271.40 into his mother's account in order to defeat the restraint order.
Mr Langhorn said: "It is not said that the money was sourced from crime, but from work he was undertaking. However, the money was used to continue to fund his lifestyle."
Ken Hind, defending, said Horsfield, who had married twice, was under financial pressure and had gone off the rails. He was supporting two families.
The defendant suffered depression and became unwell.
He had now separated from his second wife.
Mr Hind said: "He's lost his good name. He will never be able to work in this industry again, or any form of accounting, because he will not be trusted by anybody. He realises effectively he has smashed his life into little pieces."
Sentencing, Judge Beverley Lunt said: "These were sophisticated thefts, with a sophisticated system of hiding them. Such calculated criminal activity, of course, must result in a substantial prison sentence."
A spokeswoman for JD said: "We are grateful to Greater Manchester Police for their diligent work in investigating and prosecuting this criminal activity."

We have put sorters in place to help improve service. You'll notice items are checked in automatically when placed in the sorter and that they are back in circulation much faster.
Behind the scenes, the sorter is helping our staff too. Managing the return process manually, staff were able to sort 300-400 items per hour. With the sorters we'll be able to sort up to 1,500 items each hour! This will allow staff to spend more time doing what they enjoy most--helping you!
The Arvada sorter is different than the others you may have seen around the system because it takes items in on the first floor and delivers them to the basement where the sorting takes place. You can return JCPL materials to any location, so have some fun and test out the new return system at the Arvada Library! Let us know what you think!
Major disruptions to streets and parking lots are expected. Unless you are going to see President Obama's speech, you're advised to avoid the area, especially around Lions Park and the Golden Library. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

The Mets are off today before starting three with the Athletics at Citi Field tomorrow night. More on the A's in a bit, but first, I wanted to let you know about a couple of events in the community that allow you to do some good and get your Mets fix at the same time.
This Wednesday, June 22, New York Blood Center and Clarkstown Central School District are offering the chance to donate blood and receive a pair of Mets tickets. In other words, you give blood you don't need anyway, someone else who desperately needs it gets it, and you get a night at Citi Field. That's like a trade where everyone gets Nolan Ryan and no one gets Jim Fregosi.
The event takes place from 11 AM to 5 PM at 62 Old Middletown Road, New City, NY, in the Board Room. For more information, contact Sue Sherlock at (845) 620-2016.
And next month, Ike Davis will headline a dinner at Michael's Restaurant in Brooklyn to help raise money for the charity Solving Kids' Cancer. The event will be hosted by ESPN's Lina Cohn, and takes place at 7 PM on Sunday, July 17. The night includes dinner, drinks, a full Q and A with the guests, a signed baseball item from Ike, and other perks as well.
Hope you'll consider attending both events.

"Absolutely beautiful. It was really easy to customize the wedding invite. My designer did a great job of brining my ideas to life. I really wanted to be able to include our parents in the invite and the designer came up with a great solution and moved a few things around. The invite is exactly what we wanted. Thank you so much!"
"I was so afraid to order my shipment without seeing the exact card proof but I love them! I had ordered the LINEN background because others had recommended it, and instead of the textured I ordered the PEARL WHITE SHIMMER for a more modern look. I couldn't be happier with them. It looks like, from other reviewers, you really have to change the background to linen if you want the shimmer. I hadn't liked the roughness of the original sample. The red is a bit on the pink side but not too much. The designers were able to put the little Ganesh in the top circle for me which I was very impressed with! I definitely recommend!"
"My color theme for my wedding it a variation of purples and this invitation was just perfect for it. The quality is also great! Delivery was amazingly fast! I am very satisfied with my finished product and would definitely recommend them to anyone."
"I am having and as Asian-American wedding and was looking for an invitation that wouldn't put us over out budget but still had a nice Asian flair. I loved the design and to top it off the little elephant on the front and back made everything come together perfectly. My family is from Laos the land of a million elephants. I was able to keep the information simple yet it still made the invitation beautiful. The customer service was wonderful. I received my proofs within a timely manner and when I did come in contact with any staff they were always friendly, and knowledgeable."
"This was a beautiful invitation on very nice quality paper. The bride to be was very excited when she saw the finished product. They also arrived several days before the estimated arrival date. Thanks!"

Here's my story from The Journal News and Lohud.com:
By Rick Carpiniello
GREENBURGH – The Rangers hit the ice Monday – well, 15 of them did – and though they'd skated in groups throughout periods of the NHL owners' lockout, this was different.
"It was great," new Rangers power winger Rick Nash said. "It's one thing to be out there skating and wondering when things are going to be happening, but it's another thing when you're out there skating and you know things are done and the season's coming. It seems like everyone has a little extra jump in their step."
Training camp and the actual start of the season are still being held up by the ratification of the new collective bargaining agreement, reached in principal Sunday morning.
It is expected that camps won't officially open – meaning coaches present and mandatory workouts, etc. – until Saturday or maybe even Sunday. The regular-season, therefore, is anticipated to be 48 games worth of intra-conference play (not the 50 the league had hoped), beginning Jan. 19.
"Everything's going to be more magnified," Brad Richards said. "It's more like a playoff mentality where, if you dwell on things good or bad it could spiral quickly. We don't want to do that. We want to try to build on everything. Forty-eight games, you're going to need a good start and that's just obvious. There's not many games to regroup if you don't get off on the right foot."
Rangers coach John Tortorella, who could not be with the skaters on the ice (and who insisted Marian Gaborik's off-season shoulder surgery is completely healed), said he believes that the returning core of players maintained contact with the new players and that they all know the grueling camp that awaits, albeit short. And he is confident they will be ready for it.
He said he doesn't believe last year's success – best record in the East and a berth in the Eastern finals – is what motivates the Rangers.
"I think the hunger is that they're together again and will be a team again," Tortorella said. "We've gone through a few years of trying to cultivate it. I think the room is good. I think that's what they want to get back to, and competing. That's all these guys know how to do, is compete. That's what they're anxious to do. Sure they were excited about last year; we made some good steps ahead. But I think right now, they just want to play."
The players are certainly not oblivious to the harm the 113-day lockout may have caused, or the toll it took on the fans.
"It's their right to feel how they feel and I don't blame them," Richards said. "Unless you're in the meetings and living it, it's really hard to understand. I don't blame them if they don't come back. I hope everybody gives us a chance ot watch what I think is a great sport and to get out there and play our hearts out like we want to do. That's what the game of hockey's about, not what's happened here the last four months."
Nash was asked if there needs to be some damage control done.
"For sure," he said. "We missed the game just as much as they did. Obviously we're not happy with the way everything went down, but we've got to look ahead, look at the future, look at the positives. It's back and hopefully everyone will be supportive of the NHL and the players and we can just go on with the greatest game."

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A judge has ordered a former central Ohio school resource officer to stay in jail while awaiting trial on charges that he coerced sexual behavior from two teens at the high school where he worked.
A federal judge called officer Todd Smith's alleged actions "violence of the worst sort" after listening Thursday to a prosecutor and FBI agent read sexually graphic text messages Smith exchanged with two 15-year-old girls at a Columbus high school.
Smith has pleaded not guilty. The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/REgYjJ ) reports that his attorney, Sam Shamansky, asked that his client be released on bond, which the judge denied.
An FBI agent testified that the alleged victims would be concerned about their safety if Smith is released.

text: comaX, I don't know whether you have updated your script beyond the feb 12 version, mainly because I have yet to confirm the update bug being fixed because I still get no updates available. Are there any? Like the allowing of anonymity as a default? If yes, then the bug still exists... If not, can you add a -u like we talked about, or the anonymity which seems cool, so that I can confirm the bug being gone? Thanks

Smart Neanderthals had feelings, according to articles in ScienceDaily21 September 2010 and Fossil Science 23 September 2010 and 6 October 2010. Anthropologist Julien Riel-Salvatore of UC Denver has challenged the idea that Neanderthals were "thick-skulled, primitive 'cavemen' overrun and out-competed by more advanced modern humans arriving in Europe from Africa". Riel-Salvatore has spent seven years studying Neanderthal sites in southern Italy. He found projectile points, ochre, bone tools, ornaments and possible evidence of fishing and small game hunting. These are not traditionally associated with Neanderthals and seem to have emerged in areas separate from "modern humans". He concluded that Neanderthals have invented this technology when the climate changed in Italy and Neanderthals had to adapt to new sources of food. Riel-Salvatore rejects the idea that Neanderthals are a separate species. He commented: "Basically, I am rehabilitating Neanderthals. They were far more resourceful than we have given them credit for." He went on to say: "It is likely that Neanderthals were absorbed by modern humans. My research suggests that they were a different kind of human, but humans nonetheless. We are more brothers than distant cousins."
Meanwhile a team of archaeologists at the University of York are attempting to chart the history of compassion in humans and have found evidence of regular long term care of the ill and infirm in ancient human sites, including "a Neanderthal with a withered arm, deformed feet and blindness in one eye who must have been cared for, perhaps for as long as twenty years." Penny Spikins, who led the research, commented: "Compassion is perhaps the most fundamental human emotion. It binds us together and can inspire us but it is also fragile and elusive. This apparent fragility makes addressing the evidence for the development of compassion in our most ancient ancestors a unique challenge, yet the archaeological record has an important story to tell about the prehistory of compassion."
Editorial Comment: Riel-Salvatore and Spikins are correct. The archaeological evidence fits with the physical evidence that Neanderthals were fully human. They had bigger brains on average than the modern man (that includes you and I), so it is no surprise they showed signs of being resourceful and innovative. Showing compassion and caring for the weak and infirm also fits with them being fully human. Human beings do this because they were specially created in the image of a caring God, and are not the end result of a ruthless struggle for life where only the strong survive.

Already the storyline that is emerging about the one surviving Boston Marathon murderer is too sympathetic for my taste. The simple story of a younger brother led astray by his older sibling perhaps makes the monstrous murder more understandable for some. But I'm not buying it. I don't like the narrative of the poor, young immigrant (his friends call him "Joe"—how all-American) manipulated by his evil older brother (whom he conveniently ran over with an SUV—some victim). This scum allegedly placed a bomb at the feet of an 8-year-old and waltzed away. Let's be very careful not to paint this murderer (alleged, I know—alleged, alleged, alleged murderer) as a victim.
In fact, why depict him at all? Why don't the media blot out his face and his name? Let's deny him and all other mass killers the notoriety they seem to crave. Let's just call him the Boston murderer or the Boston terrorist. Let's put a black bar across his eyes in pictures. Why not? The media routinely block out the names of certain crime victims—why not certain criminals? When NBC's chief foreign correspondent, Richard Engel, and his crew were kidnapped in Syria, the media wisely declined to report it, lest their reporting endanger their colleague. Rape victims and children victimized by crime routinely and properly have their identities shielded. I am not talking about censorship, here. I would never tolerate the government telling the free press not to publish a murderer's name. Instead, I'm talking about judgment, discretion, self-restraint from the media.
Maybe our need to impose order and sanity and reason obscures the darker truth: there is evil in the world. We need to be more comfortable with the sometimes unexplainable nature of evil. And at a more practical level, it may be that the more attention we give to killers like this, the more monsters we create.

Uncle Lige
Elijah was 2nd cousin of President Abraham Lincoln. Elijah fought for the Union during the Civil War. On 9/8/1862 Lincoln mustered into Company B of the 58th Indiana Infantry. He was Mustered Out on 6/4/1865. He was also Great grand nephew to the EX governor Levi Lincoln Sr of Mass.
Ft. Branch Man's Remarkable Resemblance to Abe
Article taken from the "Princeton Clarion-News," (Princeton, Gibson Co, I N), 14 Feb 1911.
"ELIJAH LINCOLN - Ft. Branch Man's Remarkable Resemblance to Abe. - Second Cousin of the Martyred
President - At 79 is Well Preserved and an Honor to Name.
Gibson county has a distinction to which on Lincoln Day -- as well as o n other days -- she can
point with pardonable pride. Within her borders lives probably the only direct connection of
Abraham Lincoln now residing in Indiana who bears the Lincoln name. He is Elijah Lincoln, of Ft.
Branch, widely known as almost the living image of the martyred president. M r. Lincoln is now 79
years old and still retains the same resemblance t o his second cousin, the martyred president,
that has so long attracted attention to him. He is well known throughout the county, and
especially t o the old soldiers.
Elijah Lincoln was a second cousin of Abraham and was born near Zanesville, Ohio., September 17,
1832, the son of Leonard and Nancy Lincoln. While M r. Lincoln has little definite knowledge of
his lineage beyond his father 's time, his parents both having died in his early youth, it is
believe d his father's father was Josiah Lincoln, the younger brother of Thomas , who was the
father of Abraham. Josiah spent most of his life in Virginia or the Carolinas, and it was from
that part of the county the father of Elijah emigrated to Ohio.
The resemblance of Elijah Lincoln to the dead president is very striking . The Lincoln lines are
seen in every feature of the face, and the tall , gaunt body bears out the resemblance. He is six
feet four inches high , a jolly good story teller, loves children, is very fond of a joke and t
ells them with the same characteristic twinkle of the eye that cousin Abe had.
Elijah Lincoln was a mighty hunter in his early days, often tracking the wilderness in Kentucky,
southern Indiana and Illinois alone for weeks a t a time during his young manhood, and he still
enjoys a good hunt or a long tramp, in spite of his years. He is supple and strong and keeps
himself busy at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Clinton Bell, with whom he live s in Ft. Branch.
He has lived in this vicinity most of the time since h e was twenty years old. Frequently he
visits a son, Abraham, at Wharton , Tex., and he has several other children. He served though the
civil war in the Fifty-eighth Indiana regiment.
Elijah Lincoln saw his cousin Abe only once or twice, but he says he regards him as a great and a
good man, and he has always tried to do his par t toward keeping the Lincoln name above reproach.
He is a stanch defender of the flag and the government and is quick to resent any slighting rem
arks of either.
"Uncle Lige," as he is familiarly known, lost his wife by death many years ago. He lives quietly,
is a great reader and keeps well informed on al l current events, political and otherwise. He
loves to tell stories, an d there is always a willing group of listeners, young and old, to hear
them. Though Mr. Lincoln never mentions his relationship to the martyred president unless asked
about it, he is proud of the kinship and always read y to pay a tribute to Abraham Lincoln's
manhood and greatness."
His Family: In 1857 Mr. Lincoln was married to Harriet Conner, daughter of Alexander Conner, one of
the pioneer settlers of the Hoosier state. His wife passed away in 1874, having been the mother
of eight children, namely: Leonard, Alonzo, Daniel and Warren are deceased; Abram is now living
in Horton, Texas, where he has been successful and is the owner of much property; Rosie is living at home; Louisa is also residing in Horton, Texas; Clara is in St. Louis.

The 2012 American Music Awards
"I know you ain't cryin' back there."
*sniff* "This isn't the way Usher does it…"
Here's the rest of The 2012 American Music Awards in case any of you are interested in seeing the music industry's top "talents" being forced to perform at an event that basically named Justin Bieber its Prom King while letting Chris Brown wave his dick at everyone.
