A DRUG addict son stole more than £4,860 from his mother's credit card account - and enrolled on an electrician's course.
Burnley magistrates were told that Andrew Storr, 31, had been his mother Maureen's carer when he rifled her Barclaycard Visa account.
Prosecutor Parveen Akhtar said the first that Mrs Storr knew about the matter was when she received a letter from Barclaycard enquiring about late payment fees.
The victim had kept the card in her bedroom drawer and occasionally used the account to shop online, the court heard.
Ms Akhtar said Mrs Storr confronted her son about the missing payments and he immediately confessed.
Later he was arrested and interviewed and admitted he had stolen the card and set up an online bank account, making a number of cash withdrawals on his mother's card.
The court was told he used the money to pay debts - and for drugs - but had also signed up an electrician's course at Blackburn College.
Adnan Hanif, defending, said Storr had not committed any offences since 1997 and had co-operated fully with police.
He had apologised repeatedly over the thefts and his mother did allow him to stay over with his two children twice a week.
Storr, of Alkincoats Road, Colne, admitted theft and making a false representation. He was given a 16-week prison sentence, suspended for 18 months.
He was also given six months probation supervision with a six-month drugs rehabilitation order and told to pay £500 compensation.
The court heard that Barclaycard could recover the outstanding money from Storr via a civil case.

Hi everyone!
I just signed up here looking for help writing because I'm writing my first book. My main problem is its based in the 1910s and I want it so sound authentic. I'm not familiar with any 1910s slang or lingo. The only things I know I know from TV or movies and as we all know most historic TV is about as authentic as Flava of Love. I don't even know where to search for this kind of thing. Google is no help at all. I don't trust Yahoo! Answers or Wikianswers at all. Is there anyone here who is familiar with this time period and can help me out?
Thanks a bunch!

Feminist Icon Gloria Steinem Says "Lovelace" Is Not So Realistic
"In real life, [Linda Lovelance's experience in porn] was much more violent. I don't think people could have watched. For instance, there's a gang-rape scene, in which [Lovelace's husband] Chuck Traynor takes her into a room and she's gang-raped. It's portrayed as if this happened to her later. That was the first thing that happened to her. They really didn't have a relationship. She always called him Mr. Traynor. She was terrified of him. I'm not sure anybody would have been able to sit in a theater and watch what really happened. I think [the filmmakers] did the best they could."
– Hollywood didn't get Linda Lovelace's personal story quite right. That's according to iconic feminist activist Gloria Steinem, who attended a screening of "Lovelace," a new film about the infamous "Deep Throat" adult film actress. Lovelace later renounced pornography and came public about the abuse she suffered in the industry (notably at the hands of her husband, who effectively acted as a pimp). "Lovelace," which stars Amanda Seyfried, apparently makes the sexual violence and physical abuse in her story less heinous and popcorn-friendly for movie-going audiences. Steinem penned an article for Ms. magazine called "The Real Linda Lovelace," so she should know. While I haven't seen "Lovelace" yet, I can recommend the 2005 documentary "Inside Deep Throat" as a realistic portrayal of what occurred. [NYMag.com]

Dance Track
The Dance Studies Track in Theatre at Wheaton College trains students in the creative art of movement, through both practical experience and intellectual inquiry. Students work towards proficiency in a particular tradition, acquiring both physical and verbal language skills pertinent to their focus, while being exposed to a global awareness of movement and its ability to articulate and express ideas of identity, sexuality, gender, ethnicity, race and nationalism. Students learn to recognize and distinguish the many diverse sources of dance, including historical and contemporary streams of socio-cultural influence and the ever-inspiring natural world that surrounds us. The integration of body, mind and spirit informs intellectual and expressive pursuits essential to the dance track such as dance technique, choreography, production, aesthetic integrity, dance history and dance ethnography. The dance track is one step towards preparing students for further study and/or careers in the fields of performance, choreography, dance education and administration.

More road closures this weekend
Updated 1:01 pm, Saturday, December 8, 2012
Drivers should brace themselves for U.S. 281 main-lane closures this weekend, as part of ongoing construction of an interchange at Loop 1604.
Northbound U.S. 281, from Donella to Sonterra Boulevard, will be closed between 4 a.m. and 9 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday while crews remove surface asphalt from the road. Traffic will have to exit Donella and then follow detour signs back to U.S. 281.
Construction work will also force closure of the Loop 1604 westbound frontage lanes, from Gold Canyon to the entrance ramp east of Stone Oak, from 4 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. But at least one lane will remain open, according to a news release from the Alamo Regional Mobility Authority, the agency building the interchange.
News Channel
Construction on the U.S. 281-Loop 1604 interchange started in March 2011; two of the direct connectors, joining northbound U.S. 281 to Loop 1604 east and west, opened last month. The remaining two connectors should open no later than February.

AN OLYMPIAN helped to launch a cross between snooker and football at Grange Leisure Centre.
Bobby White, Team GB's handball team captain, made an appearance at the Grange Drive centre to unveil Street Snooker as part of Stratton St Margaret Parish Council's renovation of the complex.
A Street Snooker court already exists in Greenbridge and has been quite popular, leading the parish council to add it to the centre.
Nigel Chalk, chair of finance at Stratton St Margaret Parish Council, said: "Bobby White, who is an ambassador for Playinnovation and Street Snooker, came to launch the new indoor board. "The game is played like snooker but with a football, thus improving ball control skills.
"It was great to get Bobby down, he's an ambassador for the game and as it can be played by throwing the ball as well as playing with your feet, he was ideal.
"We hope people will take it up and then we might look at getting a league together."

HOUSTON - New video that shows a drive-by shooting that killed a baby was released on Wednesday.
Forever Donatto, 1, was fatally shot on Ponnel Lane near Ellington Street about 3 a.m. on Aug. 19.
Houston police said the shooters originally tried to break into a nearby house.
"The men fled after not being able to get into the house," said Sgt. Ryan Chandler with HPD Homicide. "After they fled, we believe these same two men came back to the house and committed a drive-by shooting."
According to detectives, the shooters used crowbars to get past burglar bars, but left when they realized the homeowner was inside and armed.
Minutes later, a car carrying four adults and Forever pulled into the driveway of the home.
"Right as they pull in, the dark colored SUV drives by and fires several shots," Chandler said.
One of the bullets pierced Forever's car seat and instantly killed her.
"I think they became mad because they couldn't make their way into the house and get whatever it is they wanted. So, in the process of fleeing, they decided to take one more shot at the house," Chandler said.
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477).

Cream-filled chocolate rolls, red velvet cake, ice-cold popsicles — tonight's all new episode of Unique Sweets takes a look at your favorite childhood sweets, but now they're all grown up.
Among the many irresistible sweet shops featured on tonight's episode is NYC's Lulu Cake Boutique. Chef/Owner Jay Muse opened the sweets shop knowing he wanted to pay homage to the decadent desserts he loved so much as a child. "I loved anything that was filled with cream or chocolate, and having the opportunity now as an adult to recreate to childhood classic and bring all those memories back, but with better ingredients and fresher quality is the best thing in the world."
But Lulu doesn't stop at upgraded ingredients — they add some pretty innovative twists to otherwise classic sweets. Their red velvet cake is filled with a sweet cream cheese, mascarpone and sour cream filling, coated in decadent white chocolate, and then topped with bright red sprinkles.
And then there's the passion fruit snack cake. It's a yellow cake filled with passion fruit curd, dipped in white chocolate, and then sprinkled with white chocolate shavings. Each bite gives way to a truly unique textural experience, from the soft, gooey curd, to the spongy yellow cake, and finally the hard white chocolate coating and shavings.
Owner Jay Muse gives a shout out to chocolate lovers, too. His highly popular blackout cake is a deep, dark and fudgey chocolate cake, filled with rich chocolate pudding, and coated in even more dark chocolate.
Tune into Childhood Favorites on Unique Sweets tonight at 10:30pm ET.
What's your childhood favorite?

dryloch - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkNo trackpoint no sale! The first thing I looked for was a rubber nipple on the keyboard. I will admit that a lot of people at my office never take the time to learn to use the trackpoint. I find it much more accurate then the alternative. Reply

Really? Boy, you have caviar tastes. Reply
LoneWolf15 - Monday, June 10, 2013 - link1600x900 is fine for me, but if you're shooting at ThinkPad owners, the trackpoint is a must. That's 25% of why I buy a ThinkPad in the first place. Reply
Dahak - Monday, June 10, 2013 - link1366x768 should die as a resolution on any business/pro laptop
I uses a 14inch HP Elitebook for work with 1600 x 900 and that should be the minimum.
Again the 1366x786 should DIE DIE DIE Reply
LittleB69 - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkWhy? On a 14" or lower screen it works just great. I have a 15" with 1920x1080 and it is great when watching movies or playing games but the rest of the time is spent zooming Reply
Otunia - Thursday, June 13, 2013 - link1366x768 must die, 16:9 must die too.
Please follow Apple's lead and start building laptops with 16:10. These are business laptops and they don't come cheap, right? Don't worry about asking for a few more bucks for 16:10 screens. People will pay. And yes, 15" is better than 14".
By the way, I saw a retina MBP today, 16:10 (good) but ruined by the glossy display and the simulated "best for retina" 1440x900 resolution. Not everything Apple does it great but 16:10 definitely is. Reply
Einy0 - Monday, June 10, 2013 - linkWarranty ??? Businesses care about warranties. They want three years, no hassles, two way paid shipping and fast turn around times. See Lenovo T Series which incedently has been on the decline since T400\T500 series. Lenovo service is still fantastic. People who speak English you can understand, fast and friendly. Lenovo business class knows customer service. Anyone who can copy that formula can compete; especially at the price premium Lenovo charges. Reply

AstroCreep - Monday, June 10, 2013 - link14" is too small; I'd consider a 15.4"/15.6" model (if resolution were at 1920x1080).
I too would want a trackpoint. I like them a lot more than I do the touchpad. Reply
nevertell - Monday, June 10, 2013 - link12" X200 is an excellent road warrior. The T4xx series is excellent for most cases, as 15" laptops are just too cumbersome to carry around.
But on the whole, do they have accelerometers for the hard drive? Will I be able to manually set the limits of charge level ? The keyboard seems on par with Asus's entry level/mainstream notebooks.
I believe that most people think that Thinkpads are "business laptops", because of their aesthetic design, which is an odd way of looking at an instrument/tool that you make money with. Thinkpads are reliable. At least they were. The new chiclet keyboards just don't supersede the old ones, the layout is bonkers. I don't know about you, but when I'm writing stuff/coding, I rarely use look at the keyboard, so I find the backlight useless. And the trackpoint is again, more than just preference. I can't stress enough how much the seamless transition from typing to moving the cursor/using the mouse enriches the user experience. Of course, on windows the middle-button scrolling is a bit useless, but I believe there's a way to configure it so that it emulates actual scrolling, like it does in linux. And that's another reason I'd rather go with a thinkpad- they're really well supported in linux, whilst my colleagues often have problems configuring their distros to work with their particular Asus machines.
Wow, looking over mine and most of the other comments, we do really sound like a bunch of bots sent here by Lenovo. But I really do feel that there's something more to the thinkpad line than just the extended warranty and the different aesthetic style. Reply
marcplante - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkI've also been less than pleased with the quality and support of a pair of N series (read, not cheap) notebooks I bought from Asus last year. They have both had multiple RMAs and I have had a replacement on one. Their tech support is not very fluent in the intricacies of computer troubleshooting. I love Asus components, but their notebooks aren't ready for the Rigors of enterprise life IMO. My wife is giving up on her Asus (one of the aforementioned 2) and will likely replace it with a lenovo Y series ideapad (She wants a bit better media functionality than the Thinkpad line offers). Reply
Otunia - Thursday, June 20, 2013 - linkThey're cumbersome because they are 16:9. A 16:10 15" laptop is as wide as a 16:9 14" one. Progress gone backward is called regress. Everybody but Apple has regressed on displays in the last 5 years, and I'm writing more about the form factor than about resolution. Reply
thejaredhuang - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkThe fact that when you call Thinkpad/Thinkcenter support and some person in Atlanta picks up within 30 seconds is enough for me to buy Thinkpads for the rest of my life. Reply
n13L5 - Friday, July 05, 2013 - linkWonder if Asus knows business customers want people to talk to, when there's an issue...
Asus only has a forum stacked with customer volunteers... Good luck... Reply

If your doctor has recommended daily aspirin therapy for your heart health, it's important to know the facts before choosing a pain reliever. Acetaminophen, the active ingredient in TYLENOL®, won't interfere with the benefits of aspirin heart therapy the way ibuprofen (Advil®, MOTRIN® IB) can.
If you are on aspirin heart therapy, talk to your doctor or pharmacist and see if TYLENOL® is right for you.
The safety of TYLENOL® at recommended doses has been established through 50 years of use and scientific investigation; however, if you take too much, you could harm your liver.

"My grandfather belonged to Thomas Jefferson"
Fountain Hughes describes his connection to Monticello.
Themes: Family, Monticello
Dates: ca. 1860–1957
Family: Hughes (Hemings)
Occupation: Gardener; Driver
Fountain Hughes spent his boyhood in slavery on the Hydraulic Mills property of the Burnley family near Charlottesville. After the Civil War, in which his father was killed while with the Confederate Army, his mother, Mary Hughes, had to hire Fountain out for a dollar a month. In the 1880s he purchased horses and a carriage and worked as a hack driver, but soon sought greater opportunities in Baltimore, MD. There he worked for several decades for the Shirley family as a farmer and gardener.
An interview with Fountain Hughes in 1949 is among the few surviving sound recordings of former slaves. He had vivid memories of slavery in central Virginia and of the harsh conditions for black people during and after the Civil War. His longevity attracted notice and led to numerous articles about him in Baltimore newspapers. Shallie Marshall, his only surviving descendant, remembers outings to the Shirley farm to visit her great-grandfather, "Pap."

Recipe: Orzo with Caramelized Fall Vegetables & Ginger
I have been thinking about orzo this week, trying to figure out what to do with it. I love orzo — its plump, chewy grains so much like rice, but on a grander scale, and with the tenderness of pasta. But I don't cook with it often enough, which seems silly, given how fast it can be. So I mused over what I would really like to eat right now and came back up with all the fall vegetable flavors from last week — caramelized onions, garlic, mushrooms, sweet potato. Preferably dark and caramelized, which is the flavor profile of this whole dish, as it is built from the ground up in one big skillet, browning, caramelizing, and sautéeing until you're left with a big pile of chewy orzo and dark, delicious fall vegetables.
After the pasta is cooked, you only use one more big sauté pan to put this dish together. It takes some hands-on time, but it's very satisfying, layering each component and flavor on top of the previous. You really see how flavor is built and where each taste in the dish comes from.
This is also a satisfying dish to eat — there's no meat, and it's even vegan, if you leave off the final sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. But I would happily serve this to a crowd of dedicated meat-eaters; it's one of these dishes that really spans a group of various preferences.
A few technical notes on this dish: It's best to use your biggest stove burner, and your biggest sauté pan. I used a great big 6-quart sauté pan, although a 4-quart should work OK as well. If you don't have a straight-sided sauté pan just use your widest, deepest skillet.
I have a slideshow here with photos, too, of most of the steps in the process, showing you how I caramelized each ingredient, then pushed them aside to soften and cook down while I went on to the next one.
Orzo Caramelized with Fall Vegetables & Ginger
1/2 pound orzo pasta
Grapeseed, peanut, or vegetable oil
1 large sweet potato (about 3/4 pound)
2 medium onions (about 1 pound), finely diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3-inch piece fresh ginger — peeled and grated, about 1 tablespoon
6 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and caps diced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
3 big leaves chard or kale, stalks removed and leaves finely chopped — about 2 cups
Freshly ground black pepper
Parmesan, optional
Heat a large pot of water to boiling and salt it generously. Cook the orzo until barely al dente — about 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and toss with a generous drizzle of oil so that the grains of orzo are lightly coated with oil. Set aside.
Peel the sweet potato and dice it finely into cubes about 1/4 to 1/2 inch to a side. Heat a large sauté or frying pan (the largest you have — you want plenty of room and hot surface) over high heat. Drizzle in a little grapeseed or vegetable oil (not olive oil — you want an oil with a high smoke point) and heat until very hot. Add the sweet potatoes and arrange them in one layer. Cook them over high heat until they are beginning to caramelize and turn brown — about 4 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 3 minutes or so.
Turn the heat down to medium and push the sweet potatoes up in a pile against one side of the pan. Add the diced onions to the center of the pan and sprinkle them lightly with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are beginning to turn brown. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger and stir them into the onions. Push the onions off to the side of the pan, next to the sweet potatoes, where they will continue to caramelize.
Add the diced shiitake mushrooms to the hot center of the pan and cook them for 4 minutes without turning them. Then flip and stir them and cook for another 4 minutes.
At this point everything should be getting well-cooked; the onions should be quite dark brown and the garlic should be golden and soft. The potatoes should be softening.
Whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of oil. Pour this into the pan with the vegetables and mix everything together, scraping the bottom as you go. Cook all the elements together for about 3 minutes on medium heat. Then turn the heat up to high, as high as it will go.
Add the orzo gradually, shaking in a cup at a time, and stirring and scraping constantly. Cook the orzo over high heat with the rest of the vegetables for about 5 minutes, letting the orzo get browned on the bottom of the pan, then scraping it up. You are developing a little more color and flavor on the pasta, and helping all the flavors combine.
Finally, toss the chopped greens into the mix and cook for 1 more minute or until the greens are barely wilted. Turn off the heat and taste. Add salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot, with shavings of Parmesan if desired.
• For vegans: Leave off the cheese.
• For omnivores: If desired, render a little bacon, sausage, or guanciale fat in the beginning, and use this to cook the vegetables. Keep the meat in too.

What is a Page Thumbnails Pane
Page thumbnails pane is a powerful tool in Adobe Acrobat which give access to you to a range of features in a single window enabling you to edit your PDF document seamlessly. It shows thumbnails of the pages of the active PDF document and you can do page level operations while looking at the previews.
How to access it in Acrobat
Page Thumbnails pane is available in the left hand navigation pane. In Acrobat X the icon of the pane looks like two pages with one on top of the other. The below snapshot shows the icon with the corresponding tool tip.
If the pane is not enabled in your Acrobat then you can enable the Page Thumbnails pane in the navigation pane through two ways. First is through the View menu.
And the other is through the right click menu of the navigation pane.
What all you can do in Page Thumbnails Pane
You can navigate through the PDF document in this pane by selecting the page thumbnails. The page in view corresponds to the thumbnail selected in the pane. There are various other features which one can access in this pane apart from simple navigation. In fact this pane is a dream come true for a knowledge worker who needs to manipulate pages in a PDF document.
Through this pane you can work on the PDF document while viewing the entire file in a single window. You can resize the pane to cover the whole Acrobat chrome and complete your work. You can come back to the page view by clicking on the collapse button on the top right of the pane.
You can access the features available in the Page Thumbnail pane in two ways. Either through the drop down on top left or by right click context menu of a thumbnail in the pane.
One advantage of working in this pane is that you can preview the contents and do page manipulation in the same window. Another advantage is that different features automatically take the range of pages selected in the pane as an input, you don't need to renter the page range. The features you can access in page thumbnail pane are:
- Insert Pages: to insert new pages from a supported file, clipboard or even a blank page. The shortcut for Insert Pages from a file is Shift+Ctrl+I and the shortcut for Insert Blank page is Shift+Ctrl+Q.
- Extract Pages
- Replace Pages
- Delete Pages
- Crop Pages
- Rotate Pages
- Page Transitions
- Number Pages
- Print Pages
- Embed or Remove the Page Thumbnails in the PDF
- View Page Properties
You can also zoom in the page contents through this pane. For this first select a page in the pane and then zoom in the page contents by resizing the black bounding box surrounding the selected page in the pane or by pressing the 'Ctrl' key followed by '+' or '-' key on the keyboard.
Resizing the pane reflows the thumbnails correctly and also keeps the selected page in the view.
You can reorder pages of the active PDF document by dragging and dropping pages in the pane. You can drag and drop a single page or a page range (both continuous and non-continuous). In the snapshot below I am dragging pages 8, 9 and 14 and dropping them after page 16.
You can also select a group of pages by creating a rectangular marquee selection in the pane using the mouse.
Let me end this post by telling you about one more feature supported in the Page Thumbnails pane. You can actually drag and drop an Acrobat supported file from your system onto the pane and Acrobat will add the file for you in the active PDF document at the exact location where you had dropped it. If you drop a non PDF file, Acrobat will first convert the file to Adobe PDF and then insert it at the selected location. In the snapshot below I am dropping a MS Word file onto the pages pane after page 2 and Acrobat first converts it to PDF and then insert it into the PDF.
I hope this post will help you in understanding Page Thumbnails pane better and you will find this feature useful. Stay tuned for more such posts on your favorite software Adobe Acrobat.

He prospected roads around Solihull to form routes and, with the help of publicity in the local newspaper, led short, regular ride along these routes.
Over the last five years the routes and the attendance on the rides have steadily grown-each year expanding on the previous one. In 2009 there were a total of over 1000 riders on a wide choice of rides –from 'taster', to 'stretcher' that were led along the (now) 20 printed and distributed routes within the surrounding lanes of Solihull. Many of the participants have subsequently become members of CTC and have broadened their cycling through joining local cycling clubs.
Stephen is the Chairman of the Solihull Cycling Steering Group and has been instrumental in developing the Solihull Cycling Map, the 'Cycling to Solihull' day, cycling training in schools, and other cycling publicity events in the Borough. He has recently started his own cycle training business.


text: Spot the error. A display at the Toronto Science Centre (Canada) on calendars leading up to the year 2000 listed an orthodox Jewish calendar which, in September of this year, transitioned from 5759 to 5760. Don't be surprised - they forgot to mention it was 5760 AC (after Creation) and its coming up to 2000 AD (after the birth of Christ). The evolutionist establishment is determined to leave the truth out - even from calendars!

This is getting out of hand. When I opened this morning's e-mail and sipped my first cup of coffee, here's what I found:
The last time I visited a doctor, about a month ago, I fell off the scale in his office and broke a rib. It was 9 o'clock in the morning, and I had consumed only one cup of coffee.
Grant and join me, if you will, in a little personal celebration. It means a lot to me to realize that during the two weeks since my last column, I completed 50 consecutive years of writing a personal column in Gainesville newspapers. This came during my 53rd year as a working journalist here. I complete this 53rd year Sept. 10.
On May 30, Brenau University and an array of community volunteers will present a cultural feast - a professional barbecue-cooking competition for teams from around the South. For side dishes, there will be local cookers in it only for bragging rights, bluegrass bands and a host of other attractions that will contribute to a spring festival atmosphere.
Since Brenau University probably is better known for its genteel, tradition-laden Women's College where white-frocks young ladies still frolic around a May pole, the cutting-edge liberal arts institution that could be the home of a future medical school, the home of an opera ...
I heard that former Clinton White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers was coming to Atlanta to keynote a conference with an eye-glazing title: "Possible Woman Conference: Power, Promise and Possibilities," to take place April 21 at the Georgia World Congress Center.
The proposed subject of her talk intrigued me: "Why Women Should Rule the World." Dumb me. I thought women already did.
To paraphrase Annie Dillard who paraphrased Oscar Hammerstein: Fish gotta swim. Birds gotta fly, but men do all sorts of nasty things to one another.
If you have lived in North Georgia for any amount of time, you probably have a picture in your mind of James and Francis Mathis. Most likely, you would picture them as they tirelessly pulled in harness toward some civic goal to benefit our community.
The main symbols of the two political parties in the U.S. are the donkey for the Democratic Party and the elephant for the Republican Party. Both appear to have been made popular by political cartoonist Thomas Nast in the 1870s.
I have read with surprise and interest the articles in The Times regarding Rep. Carl Rogers' bill to hold a nonbinding referendum on the question as to whether the chairman of the Gainesville Board of Education should be elected citywide. I currently serve as chairman of the Gainesville Board of Education, and as you would expect, this issue is very much of interest to me.
We are four months into the new year, and I have heard nary a public peep from President-for-Life Jimmy Carter, our Ambassador to Outer Space Cynthia McKinney or noted land baron Ted "Buffalo Boy" Turner.
A couple of weeks ago, a good friend received a phone call. When she hung up, it was obvious something was wrong. She said her stepdaughter had called to tell her that there had been a warning on "the news" announcing there was going to be a gang initiation at Wal-Mart that night and three women were going to be shot.
The General Assembly is taking some heat in the media this year for having one of its least productive sessions ever, in terms of addressing issues that really affect the lives of Georgians. Legislators still have one last shot at redeeming themselves in the closing days, however.
Remember "The Rat," a giant Godzilla-like creature that stalked the Georgia TV-scape nearly 10 years ago? The monster - - a guy in a rat suit - starred in the darnedest political commercial Georgia had ever seen. The rat gobbled up everything in sight. He even ate the Capitol. The year was 2002.
State Rep. Carl Rogers is taking a lot of local heat he may not deserve. That's not to say that some points made by local elected officials aren't perfectly valid. The opposite sides could be enlightening if personal sensibilities which must have been offended would permit. Let's elaborate.
First and foremost, I am a Christian. Everything else that I am or believe is derived from my faith, or at least it is supposed to be.

Rockwell Cage (Building W33): Venue for MIT's basketball and volleyball teams (Map)
duPont Athletic Center (Building W32): Venue for MIT's fencing and rifle teams (Map)
duPont Gymnasium (Building W31): Venue for MIT's volleyball teams (Map)
The first step toward what is now the duPont Athletic Center was the acquisition of the Rockwell Cage which had been used by the United States Government for indoor drill. The cage was acquired largely through the efforts of then-Athletic Director Ivan J. Geiger, who was also instrumental in turning the facility into the new home for MIT basketball.
Aided by the vision of David Flett duPont, who left a million-dollar bequest toward the improvement of athletic facilities, the duPont Athletic Center opened to the MIT community in 1959. duPont's bequest also led to the construction of 12 outdoor tennis courts.
In addition to serving as the home to MIT basketball, men's and women's volleyball utilize the facility as its home court. The duPont Athletic Center generates the most daily traffic and is equipped with a pistol and rifle range; fencing room; wrestling room; squash courts and additional instructional rooms for dance and martial arts.
Rockwell Cage, which is still the official venue name for basketball and volleyball, was named in honor of Dr. John Rockwell '96. Dr. Rockwell was one of the leading athletes in his class, and in 1927, began a run as President of the Advisory Council for Athletics.

DETROIT - The drumbeat against K2 exploded three days ago, and yet there in the BP gas stations's entrance, was a 31-flavor display. Right in the heart of Livonia. It's the first thing to catch your eye. A case full of the phony potpourri. The charade was never more evident. The drug was surrounded by pipes and bongs of all shapes and sizes. With a name like "Killer Zombie" it's clearly not something mom is going to ask you to pick up to grace the powder room for visitors.
The display couldn't have been more brazen or more eye-catching for the kids who are smoking this junk. We took some surreptitious video of the showcase, with intentions of returning early this morning to challenge the owner.
The poisonous consequences of this poorly classified "synthetic marijuana" have been known for two years or more. But following the Cipriano murders and the vivid illustration of how violent K-2's users can become, how could anyone with a shred of conscience still market this in our community?
Sure, the neighborhood spice concession yields $10k in profits every month. Sure, it's legal. But do these business owners really think their freshly enlightened patrons aren't aware, and won't resent them peddling this poison a quick bike ride from schools? Aren't the potential losses greater than the wicked windfall?
Twelve hours after I discovered the herbal marijuana motherlode, we sent an intern in, to make a buy, and confront owners/operators about why they persist.
Imagine my surprise when our crew called to say, that while the pipes were still for sale, the bogus Pot-Pourri was nowhere to be found. In a "better late, than never" change of heart, owners woke up, smelled the real potpourri and decided an outraged public was more frightening than the prospect of losing super-sized profits.
In the interim, Wayne County authorized a ban, and BP threatened its franchise holders with loss of their lucrative franchise rights.
Wouldn't be nice if we could get this kind of rapid resolution to face other community scourges?
Today it's easier to find someone who has CLIMBED K-2 than someone who is selling it.
It's a testament to smart advocacy journalism on the part of Local 4 Defender Kevin Dietz and colleagues, a motivated band of viewers thoughtfully channeling their outrage by calling police departments and elected officials, and those same officials taking effective action.
I can't ever remember our community so successfully confronting a social problem and virtually eradicating it in such a short time. It's a reminder of the media's power to inform, and the public's power to use that information to make society better.
What should we work on next?

So, the Mets are one of six teams reportedly interested in Jack Wilson, the Wayne's World "We're in Delaware" of free agents. Wilson hit .243/.274/.285, but he played second, short and third. So he can… hurt you at three positions.
He's got a great defensive reputation, but UZR actually had him at -10.7 runs at shortstop per 150 games in 2011. Still, let's assume that he's above-average defensively, for the sake of argument. That offensive line is still awful.
Still, let's apply the test, shall we? After all, the Mets aren't rumored to be in on many free agents.
1. Can this player help the Mets? A little. Having a backup shortstop is better than not having one, since if you fail to field a shortstop at all, every ball hit that way is a single. But he shouldn't be doing much more than replacing people for defense late. And heaven forbid he gets any starts at third base over David Wright. .243/.274/.285!
2. What kind of contract can he expect? Amazingly, a pretty good one, if six teams want him. He's coming off of a two-year, $10 million deal. So one year with an option, $3 million per season? Just a guess. But something like that.
3. Can the Mets afford him in 2012? Yes, though with around $12-15 million to spend this winter on free agents, is that really how you want to blow your money?
4. What is the maximum amount the Mets should offer him? The league minimum. I mean no disrespect. But a backup middle infielder with a good glove who will put up a sub-.600 OPS is available for this much money as a minor league free agent, or in a trade for a bag of nothing. And he'll probably be younger, too, leaving more room for potential breakout.
5. What are the chances I think he is a Met in 2012? I honestly don't think this player fits this management unless he's available for far less than I speculated he'd get in answer to question 2.

With 42 points in the second half on Saturday, the North Platte High School girls' basketball team blew past Hastings 71-37 at the Dawg House.
"If we can get four in double figures we're very tough to stop," said NPHS coach Mark Woodhead.
The Lady Bulldogs scored the first eight points of the game and then they took a 13-3 lead halfway through the first quarter on a Doughty three-pointer.
North Platte led 21-8 at the end of the first quarter before Hastings (0-2) scored the first eight points of the second.
But the Lady Dawgs distanced themselves late in the first half and led 29-18 after Doughty made an 18 foot jumper with 1:27 left until halftime.
Mattie Stokes scored the last basket for Hastings to make it 29-20 at the half.
In the third quarter, Hastings pulled within five but the Lady Tigers just couldn't stop NPHS.
The six-foot senior Hernandez scored anytime she got the ball on the low block and that freed up the outside.
"Ashten creates a tough cover when she's playing again smaller girls and that ended up opening it up for us," Woodhead said.
North Platte led 47-35 at the end of the third before blowing it open in the fourth, outscoring Hastings 24-2 in the final period.

Fran Drescher in a bikini
For anyone who's seen The Nanny and/or heard Fran Drescher speak these pics are extremely unfortunate. It was bad enough her voice made you want to shove a wolverine into your ear canal, but now you can't even look at her. It's almost like God is trying to make the most unfuckable creature imaginable.
GOD: Hmm, the voice is nasally and repellent, but something's missing…
JESUS: Jennifer Love Hewitt thighs?
GOD: Perfect! Thank you, son. Now what were you saying?
JESUS: I married that prostitute chick in the Bible.
GOD: The one with the awesome rates?
JESUS: What?
GOD: Nothing.

It looks like there will be a Social Security cost of living adjustment, or COLA, in 2012 -- positive retirement planning news for many.
Bill McBride, a retired financial executive, blogs at CalculatedRiskBlog.com about economic trends. On Friday, he calculated the early line on Social Security COLAs and concluded that based on Friday's report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics saying that "The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) increased 4.3 percent over the last 12 months," the Social Security COLA will be 3.5 percent in 2012.
McBride pointed out that Medicare premiums are also tied to this calculation and will rise as well, so some of that small retirement windfall is already spoken for.
He calculated that the contribution base cap is like to rise from $106,800 to somewhere around $110,000, although it's possible that if wages remain flat, there will be no increase, he said.
In a related post, he contemplated a switch to the chained Consumer Price Index, or CPI, from the CPI-W. The chained CPI is one of the most likely to be adopted in Social Security cost-saving scenarios. McBride said that if the government had adopted the chained CPI 10 years ago, Social Security benefits would be about 3.6 percent lower than they are now.
That doesn't sound terribly drastic, although it would certainly add to the pain for the 25 percent of recipients who are dependent solely on Social Security.

La casa se encuentra muy bien situada y con el metro llegas enseguida al centro de la ciudad.
La habitación es muy tranquila, limpia y acogedora. Además, tiene un balcón enorme que a mi particularmente me ha encantado.
Los anfitriones Luis e Isabel son muy atentos y harán que no te falte de nada.
La recomendaría a cualquiera que quisiera viajar a Lisboa!!
Super gelegene Wohnung zwischen zwei Haltestellen von der Straßenbahn 28. Optimal für unsere Stadttouren. Nette, hilfsbereite Gasgeberin.

In winter it is very necessary to habe warm clothes because the flat has no heating. But a warm athmosphere.
Quiet place near Rossio. Metro-station not far away. Isabela and Luis are very helpful.
This was my first stay in a Wimdu type accommodation. I think it was mostly as advertised. Hosts were friendly, room was clean, wifi was reliable. I met great fellow guests and we felt we had our own space to relax. Luis responded to my late night request to stay the next day and though I had trouble finding the address, his wife saw me from my profile picture as I entered the cafe next door and knew who I was. It was a nice welcome to Portugal. There wasn´t breakfast per se but the kitchen was well stocked with cooking necessities. I would return.
Luis and Isabelle gave us a very warm welcome in their cosy appartment. They gave us very nice inside tips about sights in Lisbon. The appartment is well located and we enjoyed the view!
The stay was great! Super cool house where you feel at ease from the start. Thanks Isa and Luis !!, and that your wishes are followed.

Talbot Avenue Station Project
The proposed Talbot Avenue Station would be located approximately six city blocks from the Codman Square business district. The station would be closer to the square than the existing Ashmont Station on the Red Line Rapid Transit System.
The station will consist of approximately 800-foot long high-level platforms in order to facilitate direct platform-to-coach boarding. The platforms will include detectable warning strips, new canopies, passenger shelters, benches/windscreens, wayfinding signage, graphic panels, a train approach warning system, variable message signs, and high non-glare lighting. The station will also be equipped with closed circuit television (CCTV) video surveillance cameras, police emergency call box systems, and public telephones. There is an unused MBTA parcel of land at the corner of Talbot Avenue and Norwell Street adjacent to the inbound platform entrance that will provide off street minimal parking and a drop-off/pick-up area.
Due to the elevated track structure through the site, vertical access points to the platforms need to be addressed. Constructing new concrete sloped walkways and ramps will provide full access to both the inbound and outbound platforms for all passengers. North end platform access points will also be constructed from Park Street and West Park Street.
The project will also consist of the reconstruction of the Talbot Avenue and Woodrow Avenue Railroad Bridges. The bridge work includes, but not limited to, demolition of existing structures, construction of new steel bridge spans, construction of new reinforced concrete bridge piers, support of existing utilities, grading, drainage, traffic management, signal and power line relocations along the right-of-way, and preparation of new railroad track bed subgrades. Lighting systems will be installed on the bridge abutments in order to illuminate the areas under the bridge.
Existing sidewalks along Talbot Avenue from Norwell Street to Westcott Street will be reconstructed within the immediate vicinity of the station entrances and new wheelchair ramps will be constructed at the adjacent roadway intersections.
The construction work commenced in November 2010 and is expected to be completed by Fall/Winter, 2012.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/9/2013 (1441 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It's a story of two Jacobs that fortunately had a happy ending — but it may end up being a learning experience for local educators and child-care providers.
A series of communication breakdowns led to Jacob Rojo, 4, being dropped off at the wrong school on his first-ever school bus ride.
The tale involved a bus driver, two schools and a daycare.
Jacob is enrolled in afternoon kindergarten at Laura Secord School, and qualifies for busing back and forth to his daycare centre at Agnes Street and Sargent Avenue.
Belhen Rojo said Thursday the daycare put her son on a Winnipeg School Division bus, which dropped him off at Mulvey School — where he stayed until being put back on the bus after school to return to the daycare.
Mulvey and Laura Secord are both on Wolseley Avenue, Mulvey just west of Maryland Street, Laura Secord eight blocks west.
In all that time, no one phoned her to let her know what happened, said Rojo.
WSD did not provide an orientation session before Jacob's first school bus ride to the first day of kindergarten, she said.
Nor did Rojo see it as her responsibility to be involved that first day — she left everything up to the other adults.
"Some things they need to learn on their own — I don't want to be a helicopter parent," hovering over the kids, she said.
She was unaware the school bus for afternoon kindergarten stopped at more than one school.
"The daycare didn't know it would be stopping at another school. They stop at Mulvey first and then at Laura Secord," she said.
The daycare didn't call Laura Secord to check whether Jacob had arrived, Rojo said — the daycare expected Laura Secord to call home if there was any problem.
Turns out there were two Jacobs on the bus, only one of whom is enrolled at Mulvey.
"The driver called off the first name, and both boys got off," she said.
An educational assistant met the bus, and found there was only one of the two Jacobs who was on the list of enrolled students busing to school.
"They added him to the list, and kept him for the afternoon," Rojo said.
Mulvey staff put her son on a bus back to the daycare after school, mom said.
Meanwhile, Jacob was supposed to be at Laura Secord School all afternoon, but no one there noted his absence, and no one followed the policy of notifying parents when a child is absent, said Rojo.
Over at Laura Secord, Rojo's seven-year-old daughter was supposed to meet Jacob after their classes got out so they could ride the school bus back to the daycare together. But they turned out to be on different buses even though they were going to the same place, and big sister got to the daycare first, where she alerted staff to Jacob's absence. He arrived soon after.
All Rojo knew Monday was that somehow Jacob had been placed on a separate bus after school Monday.
But then on Tuesday, she said, "The bus driver apologized to the daycare staff for the confusion, letting them know Jacob had been at the wrong school all of Monday afternoon. I was informed by my daycare staff that same evening when I was picking up my children on Tuesday."
That's when she finally heard the full story about Jacob's big adventure.
"There's attendance (taken) for a reason. No one cared where my four-year-old was that first afternoon," Rojo declared.
Winnipeg School Division said Thursday that Rojo's version of events was pretty accurate.
"Definitely, something like this did happen," said communications officer Dale Burgos.
"At no point was he ever left unattended to," Burgos pointed out. "The division does have many checks in place — unfortunately, on this day, not all of those checks were made."
Burgos said senior administrators are reviewing what happened that afternoon, and talking to the schools and transportation department about policies and procedures, but will not identify what staff at each of the schools did and did not do.
At Mulvey, "They did internal checking. I can't get into too much details," he said. "The child was vocal, and did share his name with the school. It made them believe the child belonged to their school."
Burgos said Jacob has been happily attending Laura Secord since Tuesday.
"There have been apologies made. Bottom line, it actually happened, we apologized for it," he said.
