Stop & Shop Marks Town's Anniversary
Grocer's store opening raises funds for occasion
Since the debut of Stop & Shop Supermarket Co. LLC's second Pembroke, Mass., store coincides with the town's 300th anniversary celebration, the Ahold USA division is helping to raise funds for the occasion. For every Stop & Shop "check-in" on Facebook or Foursquare during the store's grand-opening weekend (June 8-10), the chain is donating $1, up to $1,000, as a supplement to the $2,500 already being contributed to the town's anniversary fund.
"One of the greatest rewards of partnering with a town to create a new store location is being able to give back to our customers not only during their in-store shopping experience, but also in community support," said Joe Kelley, president, Stop & Shop New England division, which employs about 62,000 associates and operates more than 400 stores throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New York, and New Jersey. "We encourage local Pembroke residents to help us raise additional funds, which can be used for a variety of activities throughout the town's anniversary year."
Featuring full-service meat, seafood, and natural and organic departments, the new 45,000-square-foot store is offering further attractions over the weekend, including the chance to win $1,000 worth of prizes through its "Stop & Shop Brands Patrol!" store-brands program, and character appearances from the likes of Tony the Tiger, Oreo and Goldie the goldfish. Additionally, former Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield (pictured) was on hand at the June 7 grand-opening reception.
The location, which plans to pursue LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification in the coming months, is anticipated to use up to 20 percent less energy than a typical grocery store of its size.

Report: P!nk is Pregnant
P!nk fans may soon be raising their glasses to the acrobatic singer. Us Weekly reports the hitmaker, 31, is expecting her first child with husband Carey Hart, 35.
Citing an insider, the magazine says "she's 12 weeks along…she wanted to do it between tours, when she has some time off."
P!nk may already be prepping for motherhood, recently telling Access Hollywood that she believes in corporal punishment.
"I think parents need to beat the crap out of their kids," P!nk said. "I think the whole spanking thing and how it's all gotten PC is for the birds."
A baby would be the latest chapter in P!nk and Carey's sometimes rocky romance. They wed in Costa Rica in 2006, announced their separation in 2008 and reunited a year later.
Do you have well-wishes for Pink and Carey? Leave them in the comments.

There has been a rise in the number of attacks on Muslims since 7 July, and Dr Zaki Badawi said girls should have the choice of not wearing the hijabs.
"Dress is meant to protect from harm, not invite it," Dr Badawi said.
But some Muslims don't agree and say the hijabs are an important part of their faith, and girls are not at risk.
The hijab is a headscarf worn by Muslim girls and women to show they follow the guidelines of their faith.
It shows other people that they are Muslims. But Dr Badawi is worried that innocent women could be attacked because of the increase in crimes against people who follow the Islamic faith.
But it's important to remember that the Muslims involved in the bomb attacks are a very small group of people with extreme views, and the vast majority of Muslims do not agree with them.
Some Islamic groups are angry at the suggestion women shouldn't wear their headscarves. They say women and young girls are not at risk of attack, and stressed that the terrorists were not 'true Muslims'.
One Muslim girl called Hani told Newsround: "It said in the Koran that it will protect you, and Allah thinks it would protect you so if you believe Allah, you must believe what he is saying."
Her view was shared by Zarah:" I wouldn't consider taking it off... Before these people say stuff like this they should think twice."

The more we know on the fundamental, the less we agree on the price
I allow heterogenity in trading horizons across groups in a standard differential information model of a financial market. This can explain the empirical facts that after public announcements trading volume increases, more private information is incorporated into prices and volatility increases. Public information, in such environments, has the important secondary role of helping agents to learn about the information of other agents. As a consequence, whenever the correlation between private information across groups is sufficiently low, a public announcement increases disagreement among short horizon traders on the expected selling price, even if it decreases disagreement about the fundamental value of the asset. Additional testable implications are also suggested.

Brentwood baseball coach fitting together pieces of preseason puzzle
Greg Perdziola has been head coach of the Brentwood varsity baseball program for 12 years.
The 2014 squad — with only two seniors and four returning starters — is the youngest he's ever coached.
"This year's team is like a puzzle; we just need to find the right pieces and put them in the right places," Perdziola said. "This will be a very young and inexperienced team to start the year. The good thing is there will be a lot of opportunity for players to compete for starting positions at the varsity level.
"This is the first year I can really say every position is open for competition."
The Spartans suffered through a 2-12 season in 2013, competing in Section 1-AA.
"Our goals are always the same, to win the section and make the playoffs," said Perdziola, who also is longtime assistant football coach at Brentwood.
The returning starters are Sean Cloonan, a senior second baseman/outfielder; Derek Hogue, a senior catcher/outfielder; Connor McWilliams, a junior catcher/pitcher; and Tyler Jorgenson, a junior outfielder and one of the team's leading hitters last year with a .350 batting average.
"Playing time at catcher will be split between Derek and Connor. Both played there last year and will be in the lineup in a DH role or another position when not catching," Perdziola said.
Several players — including Cloonan, junior Nathan Christopher, sophomore Sean McGlaughlin and freshman Tanner Klein — have been competing for the middle infield positions.
McGlaughlin also is an outfielder, while Klein also is a member of the Spartans' pitching staff.
One of three juniors, Brendan Mulholland, Andrew Gazzam or Anton Zupancic, is expected to start at third base.
Mulholland also can play first base, along with junior Nick Balkovec and sophomore Brandon Mayfield.
Jorgenson most likely will anchor the Brentwood outfield as the starter in center. Cloonan, Mayfield and McGlaughlin, along with juniors Tyler Paranzino and Corey Samarco, are corner outfielders.
"Pitching is where we will be very inexperienced at the varsity level," said Perdziola, who is assisted by Dan Krzyzanowski and Mike Vickless.
Two players who have some experience on the varsity mound are McWilliams and Paranzino. McWilliams pitched as a freshman, but not last year due to arm trouble.
Paranzino registered 10 strikeouts in 10 innings of work.
"Tyler is dealing with tendinitis, so I am not sure how much he will be able to pitch this year," Perdziola said.
McWilliams, Paranzino, Cloonan, Christopher, Gazzam, Mayfield, Samarco and Klein have been looking for spots in the pitching rotation.
"With only two exhibition games, it will be tough to get them all enough innings at the varsity level prior to section play," Perdziola said. "At this point, how we do this year will depend on how we play defense."
One key player on last year's team who will be missed this season is senior Justin Vickless, who still is recovering from a football-related injury.
Vickless, an outfielder/pitcher, hit .347 last year and led the Spartans in runs, with 12; and doubles, with eight; to go along with eight RBIs. He also was the winning pitcher in Brentwood's two wins.
"Losing Justin is a big loss. He would have been my leadoff hitter, No. 1 pitcher and starting shortstop, and a three-year starter," Perdziola said. "More important, he would have provided a leadership role for this young team."
Hogue and McWilliams were two of the team's leading long-ball threats last season, and are expected to maintain similar roles this spring.
"I think we should be an above-average hitting team, but we need to be a much better team fielding the ball than we were last year," Perdziola said. "Our main focus this year during practice is to make the routine play and not give the other team extra outs."
The Spartans' top freshmen prospects include Klein, infielders Michael Lane, Luke Gidias, Jake Thomas and Brett Zakowski; catchers Gary Fox and Earl Simmons, who's also an infielder; outfielders Kirk Brown and Cameron Moir; and infielder/pitcher Jared Toth.
Perdziola said Quaker Valley is the team to beat in section play this season.
The Quakers won the section title with a 14-0 record in 2013, did not lose a regular-season game, and advanced to the WPIAL Class AA championship game.
Quaker Valley, which ended up 23-2 overall, New Brighton, Seton-La Salle and South Side Beaver were the top four teams in Section 4-AA last year.
"Quaker Valley is very good and should be the favorite," Perdziola said. "Seton-La Salle is always good, and South Side Beaver could have a very good team."
Brentwood is slated to open the season March 27 with a nonsection game at Clairton, followed by another nonsection contest March 28 at home against South Allegheny.
The Spartans are scheduled to begin section play March 31 at New Brighton.

text: Even if Roubini is correct, if this hellish confluence leads to a train wreck that's far worse than what we saw in 2008, what should citizens, specifically investors, do? Do you build a bunker? Do you buy a gun? Do you sell all of your belongings and put the proceeds behind some drywall? Should investors go to all cash positions? If so, can we keep that money in the bank or will they go down with the FDIC? I think Roubini wants us to worry and get real anxious so we wait for his next Tweet, attend his next speech, watch his next interview or blow whatever savings we have left to send our kids to NYU. The doomsayers would do actual service to society, namely investors, if they made more of a show of practical solutions for the typical household in an uncertain world economy than they do their calls of "Look at me, I'm about to be right!" I learn quite a bit by reading thinkers like Roubini. There's no question that he's sharp and provides information worthy of consideration and reflection. But he does nothing to have an impact on my life one way or the other. And you should not let him have an impact on yours. He's akin to the so-called conservatives on Fox News and the alleged liberals on MSNBC brainwashing the minions into believing that a political party controls your destiny. You control your own destiny, particularly if you're an investor, regardless of what Roubini says or thinks will happen. Investors should never make things more complicated than they need to be. Consider how long you have until you need your money and devise a plan that makes sense leading up to the time you'll start cashing out. The market crashed in 2008. Since 2009, the SPDR S&P 500 Index ETF ( SPY) has returned roughly 45%. If you bought SPY all the way down to $68.92 on March 2, 2009, you're better off for it today. It closed Monday's session at $135.20. The story of the century is not the financial crisis. The greatest period of world-changing technological innovation we have seen for generations deserves headlines. Not the crash of 2008. Not the pessimistic musings of a well-off economist who travels the globe regurgitating the same speech.

Here's what we used
|washable paint, fly swatters, paper plates, crayons, small table covered with craft paper.
Husbandie knew that I was planning on doing this activity with the boys so while I was at work he helped them draw bugs all over the paper.
Big Buddy really enjoyed coloring the bugs but was a little leery about the fly swatters - the splattered-paint-shirt look isn't for him.
Mini Man on the other has was all over the fly swatters, going feet first into the grunge look.
The neighborhood girls also couldn't resist joining the fun.
Which got me thinking that a kids paint party could be really fun. Husbandie thinks I'm crazy and that it would turn our house and yard tie-dyed. I think the mess would be the fun part, and if we did it on a warm day we could just turn the pool into a bubble bath. We will see who's right :).

Israeli backlash raises the stakes
As Israeli military strikes against Palestinian targets continue, observers are debating whether the Israeli Government wants to put strong pressure on Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat - or topple him from power.
By describing the Palestinian Authority as an entity which supports terrorism, the Israeli Government has crossed a threshold.
Using the analogy of the US-led war in Afghanistan, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is saying that Yasser Arafat and the PA are playing the same role as the Taleban.
He is implying that if they go on supporting terrorists they will themselves being treated as terrorists.
This is already a step too far for the Labour Party members of Mr Sharon's coalition government.
Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and the other Labour ministers walked out before the cabinet voted on the proposal last night.
Labour is now considering whether to stay in the government - and Mr Peres has gone off to Romania, where he is due to have talks with the US Secretary of State, Colin Powell.
Both men are having to digest the ominous implications of the cabinet's decision.
American frustation
The Americans are undoubtedly frustrated with the past behaviour of Yasser Arafat, but they still hope he has a role to play.
Mr Powell has already made it clear his special Middle East envoy, retired General Anthony Zinni, will stay in the region to pursue the peace initiative Mr Powell launched two weeks ago.
Many have already written off the initiative as still-born.
Nevertheless the Americans are struggling to make clear they have not given Ariel Sharon a blank cheque.

The lack of color is disappointing for book covers and internal illustrations, and for comics. Color e-ink displays are in the pipeline, but not here yet.
The latest Kindle is moving to a more responsive capacitive-touch screen instead of IR, and all the new phones have a much wider suite of touch gestures (the new BlackBerry 10 OS is especially interesting).
Sony and Kindle have audio, but they haven't made use of it for voice controls (like Apple's Siri or Google's voice search). They support text-to-speech, but it needs a lot of improvement.
You can't zoom in book illustrations like maps and pan around currently.
Could you make a folding e-ink display so you could close it like a book?
Without going into anything technical about what is possible and not possible with the current display technologies, I think the critial issue is that for the most part, the innovations you describe are all hardware. Lets take the example of improvements in the e-ink display. There is a limited number of suppliers of the e-ink displays and they provide displays to all the manufacturers of e-readers. There is little incentive for them to limit the sales of their displays to one manufacturer, so the displays will be available to all.

While the promo video teases how Brody, Carrie and Saul's presence will create the tension on the show, a newly-released poster hints that Carrie must choose side.
Showtime unleashes a new teaser for "Homeland" season 3. Set to Adele's "Lovesong", the video title "Haunted" hints at how Brody, Carrie and Saul will never find peace as each other's presence or absence will keep them "haunted."
At the same title, a poster for the upcoming season is unleashed. Carrie's face is taking the center spot, being sandwiched between Brody's and Saul's. It has a tagline which reads, "Pledge Allegiance," suggesting that Carrie will have to pick one side.
When "Homeland" returns Sunday, September 29 at 9 P.M., Brody won't be seen in the first two episodes after he crossed the border. "The decision to not have Brody in the first two episodes was just a function of storyline," executive producer Alex Gansa reasoned.
He also said of the theme, "One of the themes of season three is the cost that being an intelligence officer exacts on the people who are in that career. And Saul and Carrie are obviously the prime examples of that. As a result of the attack last year, the CIA itself is on trial: That agency couldn't even protect itself; how should it be expected to protect the country? Saul is confronted with that very question in the first episode."
Producer Alex Cary added, "In the first two seasons you see Carrie and the CIA on the defensive, and now you see them on the offensive."

1977 - 2012
On New Year's Day 2012, Mount Rainier National Park lost a dedicated ranger and coworker when Margaret Anderson was fatally shot in the line of duty on the road to Paradise at Mount Rainier National Park. That morning, Margaret responded to a call to intercept a vehicle that failed to stop at a chain-up checkpoint. The driver of the vehicle opened fire on Ranger Anderson, killing her, then fled on foot into the woods and later died of exposure.
Margaret, age 34, began her career in 2002 at Bryce Canyon National Park. She is survived by her husband Eric, also a law enforcement ranger, and two young children. Margaret grew up in Westfield, New Jersey, and spent several years as a seasonal State Park employee during college. In 2004 she was hired at Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park in Maryland, where she worked until she and Eric transferred to Mount Rainier in 2008. They have two daughters.
Margaret's life was focused on service: to her family, her community, and her coworkers. We mourn the loss of our friend and fellow ranger; we honor her memory; and we hold her and her family in our hearts forever.
A formal law enforcement memorial service honoring Margaret was held on January 10, 2012, at Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. The service was widely attended by National Park Service employees and members of the law enforcement and fire service communities from all over the United States and Canada, dignitaries, and the general public.
On February 7th, 2012, the Washington State Senate passed Resolution 8676, honoring Ranger Margaret Anderson for her service. View a video of the Washington State Senate convening for regular floor session on SR 8676 (Honoring Margaret Anderson) in Olympia, WA.
On September 5, 2014, the post office in the town Margaret lived in while at Mount Rainier, Eatonville, Washington, was dedicated in her name. U.S. Eighth District Congressman Dave Reichert sponsored legislation to authorize the dedication event.

Quote:There are a lot of Buddhists in Japan and China, but are the philosophical underpinnings of Buddhism evident anywhere or do they just chant a lot? In Japan, for example, Buddhist priest reside over funerals while Shinto priests do marriages, new buildings, etc. The Buddhist priests chant, chant and chant so more, but few of them will engage you in a conversation about no-ego, non-attachment, meditation. etc. They're usually just regular joes who fish, drink and do karaoke...So what about it? Where is the Budhhist philosophy represented in these cultures?Any thoughts? I sure have some, but I prefer to share later...after some other have stepped up to the plate

Breakup Abs
Breakups happen all the time. It's a common thing, but this girl didn't get depressed or turn to food to make her feel better. She turned to exercise, and overcame the sadness by doing something that made her feel stronger both physically and emotionally. If you think her abs already look strong in the before pictures, wait until you see her ab transformation. Talk about sticking to a fitness plan.
I realize that the woman in this video could be seen as a little obsessive, and that she posted her belly on the Internet as a way to get attention. The smile on her face at the end is proof that she's so proud of herself, but I hope she knows that her 8-pack abs don't make her any more lovable for the next guy she dates.
What do you think about this video? Do you view it as inspirational or as a display of someone's poor self-esteem? Have you ever had something in your life happen that triggered you to get healthy or start exercising?

Alessandro Ballan suffered a broken leg, a broken rib and an injured spleen Thursday when he crashed on the penultimate day of the BMC Racing Team's training camp in Spain. The injuries require at least two separate surgeries – the first of which was taking place Thursday night, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Max Testa said.
Spleen Will Be Removed
Ballan was descending the Coll de Rates climb near Parcent toward the end of a four-hour training ride when the high-speed accident occurred. After being taken to a local hospital by BMC Racing Team Dr. Dario Spinelli, Ballan was diagnosed with a mid-shaft, displaced fracture of his left femur, a fracture of his ninth rib and some abdominal trauma. "The broken rib actually made a small puncture in his lung," Dr. Testa said. "The first priority is the spleen injury – that is considered a medical emergency." Ballan was undergoing surgery to remove his spleen Thursday night and a decision on when and where his broken leg can be operated on will come at a later time, Dr. Testa said.
Lelangue: 'His Loss Means A Lot'
BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue visited Ballan at the hospital and said the team's first priority is making sure the 2008 world road champion can rest and recover properly. Ballan had been scheduled to compete in the season-opening race, the Santos Tour Down Under, in Australia next month. "Of course his loss means a lot since Alessandro is one of our key riders for the classics," Lelangue said. "But most important right now is that he can recover and just get back to his normal process. We'll wait for all the medical information before even beginning to think about what could be his plan for coming back."
Ballan won two races in 2012: the final stage of the Eneco Tour of Benelux and the one-day Giro della Toscana. He was the team's best finisher at Paris-Roubaix (third), the Tour of Flanders (third), Strade Bianche (fourth) and Milan-San Remo (eighth). He also helped the BMC Racing Team earn a silver medal in the team time trial at the UCI road world championships.

The classic Shakespearean play about a murderously scheming king staged in an alternative fascist England setting.
William Shakespeare's classic play is brought into the present with the setting as Great Britian in the 1930s. Civil war has erupted with the House of Lancaster on one side, claiming the right to the British throne and hoping to bring freedom to the country. Opposing is the House of York, commanded by the infamous Richard who rules over a fascist government and hopes to install himself as a dictator monarch.

The busy star finally gets some time off from promoting the new movie 14 Blades across Asia. Wu Chun is back in Brunei to celebrate the Chinese New Year with his family. The first thing he did following his return was to take care of his "wife" – a Lamborghini that cost over 10 million (NTD). He spent eight hours to wash the car, perform maintenance and even give it a wax treatment all by himself. With his 3rd gym set to open in June, Wu Chun is estimated to be worth over 100 million after four short years in show business.
Unfortunately there was no photo of Wu Chun in a batsuit beside his batmobile.
The black/grey Lamborghini was purchased by him as a birthday gift for himself last year. Wu Chun said the car is priced at 15 million in Taiwan, but only 9 million in Brunei. Since it was his birthday gift, he even spent another 30k to bid a license plate with the numbers "1010" to match his birthday (October 10th).
Wu Chun said, "This car looks like a batmobile, it can reach a speed of 300 km/h. I like the sense of speed and excitement. The sound of its engine is very rich, so I don't listen to music when I drive and listen to the engine instead. I'm rarely home so the car only gets driven several times a year. My brother gets to drive it mostly, so he's very lucky." For that reason, Wu Chun would drive the car to attend radio shows when he is in Brunei. He has even taken a picture with it in front of the mosque.
Wu Chun took time to wax his car on the eve of the Chinese New Year. He said, "I wash and maintain the car myself. There are seven steps in total and it takes eight hours to complete. The wax was especially ordered from the US." He treats his car like a family treasure with love and care. Even his family and friends would tease him, "You really love your car like it is your wife."
After debuting four years ago, Wu Chun now has a 10-million sport car and a 3rd gym set to open soon. His movie 14 Blades has made over 100 million worldwide. With his career on the rise, he is estimated to be worth over 100 million. However, Wu Chun remains humble, "I have a strong urge to breakthrough this year. The first two years were more like experimentation. The past two years (gave me) a sense of achievement and made me feel that I can do better. In addition to studying dance and acting this year, I will do more in charities and community events to make use of my influence as an artist."

project FIG Soothing Serum Reviews
No more razor burn!I LOVE the Project Fig soothing serum. I use if after I shave my bikini area and legs, and it's really cut down on my razor burn and irritation. It's also great after waxing and makes my skin feel super soft and smooth. I've tried other products before but this one really seems to work--plus I love the essential oil scent. It's also a great value for such a high-quality product. Definitely worth it! — 4 years, 6 months agobubblesbelize09 | 1 reviews

Extraordinary Modernist Retreat
Geoffrey Nelson Presents...
Hillsborough's leading voice in Bay Area Modern, 755 Bowhill Road brings loft-like urban architectural drama to the rustic seclusion of Lower South Hillsborough. A modernist masterpiece, this innovative total rebuild yields an architecturally significant home that harmonizes with its forested natural surroundings. Clean lines inspired by renowned twentieth century architect Richard Neutra and ground-breaking designers Charles and Ray Eames define the brilliant indoor/outdoor living spaces. The exacting standards of construction and detail articulate the cutting-edge chef's kitchen, stunning living/dining great room, glass-walled office, and tranquil resort-caliber master bath. Walls of glass capture a mature forest and greenbelt of indigenous trees in serene gated privacy. Despite the Shangri-La ambiance, this location is just 5 minutes from downtown San Mateo and downtown Burlingame, less than 5 minutes from South Elementary School, and about 10-15 minutes from San Francisco International Airport.
As published in an acclaimed 2006 architectural book, Berkeley architect David Avila interprets this solar-efficient design with a remarkable linear approach revealing a marvelous meeting of home and site. A panorama of outdoor verdancy becomes one with the interior palette. Barely visible from the road, the home emerges beyond a stone-paved walkway. Stepping inside, volume, vistas, and light create ultimate entertaining atmospheres. Strategic gallery-quality lighting accentuates the open flow and seamless transitions. The living room commands the center of the home with its exotic Anigre wood cabinetry and dramatic art display space. A cantilevered fireplace hearth echoes the pure lines with minimalist beauty. The formal dining area is sheathed in floor-to-ceiling glass including frameless-edge vertexes and sliding doors opening to scenic balconies. Perhaps the home's piece-de-resistance is the ultra-chic chef's kitchen. This space redefines both style and practicality for modern living. A solid walnut seating island for four emphasizes the inviting gathering flair, while the commercial-caliber amenities reflect connoisseur aesthetics. As found throughout the home, interaction with the outdoors is optimum. Tranquil open air destinations heighten each room, such as the dining deck off of the kitchen. Views extend through the trees to an open meadow beautifully terraced by the current owners. Many rooms open to wraparound decks, which become intuitive extensions of the living areas amidst the trees.
The floorplan balances sophisticated entertaining spaces with everyday flexibility. The dedicated glass-walled office overlooks the front garden courtyard and makes an ideal executive hideaway. Down the hallway, the library with customized built-in shelving also inspires a guest retreat looking out to the forest. The master suite achieves both understated privacy and resort-like indulgence. The master bath is a true conversation piece with its lofty ceilings and unique walk-in shower spa area. Downstairs, a game room precedes a stunning multi-use wing suitable as guest suite, teen respite, or media room.
The rarity of this offering is magnified on the grounds. The current owners have incorporated a greenhouse ecosystem complete with koi pond. An expansive new vegetable garden adorns a raised terrace. Newly integrated walkways provide Zen-like passages to a usable flat terrace for campfire soirees. Hosted by a prime Lower South Hillsborough location, this extraordinary lifestyle is only minutes from downtown San Francisco, the Bay Area's finest schools, and San Francisco International Airport. Irreproducible to this scale and detail, 755 Bowhill is an unrivaled design perfectly paired to a pristine setting. Timeless.

Pretoria - North West provincial police chief Lt-Gen Zukiswa Mbombo was queried on Tuesday over her actions before the August 2012 shooting at Marikana, near Rustenburg.
Evidence leaders head Geoff Budlender, SC, cross-examined Mbombo at the Farlam Commission of Inquiry's public hearings in Pretoria.
He played a video recorded on August 16, 2012 where Mbombo told a media briefing: "We will ask them (protesters) to leave, but then I don't want to explain to you if they don't, what then. Today we are ending this matter".
Budlender asked Mbombo why she had not qualified the conditions which would cause the police to step up their intervention.
Mbombo said she did not want "to explain the nitty-gritties of the police plan" to the media.
"It still depended on the people (police officers) that were going to put the operation into action. They would have decided whether the situation permitted," she said.
Budlender reminded Mbombo that she was testifying under oath.
"You told the national commissioner, the meeting after the NMF 1/8national management forum 3/8, the world at large at your special media briefing, and also told the television interviewer that if the strikers did not hand their weapons over you would end the matter," said Budlender.
Mbombo said she trusted her charges would take all considerations into account before moving in to disarm the protesters.
"They knew that they had to look at all angles. The operation was largely dependent on the people that were charged to carry it out," said Mbombo.
She said she instructed that stage three of the police intervention plan be put into effect after being told that efforts by union leader Joseph Mathunjwa to negotiate with the strikers had failed.
"I was told that those people's negotiations had deadlocked and Mr Mathunjwa's intervention was unsuccessful. I was also told that the protesters' mood had changed," said Mbombo.
Commission chairman retired judge Ian Farlam asked Mbombo how the police could have resolved that Mathunjwa's efforts were unsuccessful when he was still engaged in the negotiations.
"Mr Mathunjwa had not come back to you yet. You had told him that he was obliged to go to the koppie and convince the people to lay down their arms," Farlam said.
"You had not received feedback from Mr Mathunjwa that he had been unsuccessful in convincing the people as you had told him that he was obliged to do. He didn't report to you that he was unable to convince the people."
Mbombo said there was no arrangement that Mathunjwa would give feedback to her. Police officers had informed her that Mathunjwa had been unsuccessful in negotiating with protesters.
Moments later, on August 16, 2012, 34 people, mostly striking miners, were shot dead and 78 people were wounded when the police fired on a group gathered at a hill near Lonmin's platinum mining operations in Marikana, while trying to disperse and disarm them.
In the preceding week, 10 people, including two policemen and two security guards, were killed in strike-related violence.
The public hearings resume on Thursday.

Artscape: Anatomy Series Three - HAIR, TISSUE, NERVE - 10pm Tuesdays on ABC1
Anatomy, the multi-award winning series of documentaries which explores the ways in which artists and performers deal with the subject of sex and the human body, returns to ABC1.
The third series consists of three unique documentaries linked thematically yet individual within themselves. Each week a different filmmaker tells a story that is variously funny, playful, confronting and in the end, illuminative in the role of sexuality and life in the creative process.

Watch episode three - Anatomy 'Nerve' online
Watch episode two - Anatomy 'Tissue' online

A short documentary by Paola Morabito
You are more authentic, the more you resemble the dream you have of yourself. Pedro Almodovar
HAIR is a story is about women and men, about brave shifts in identity, and the difficult beauty of honesty. For a long time the woman, and the man, within Paul Capsis have been defined by his long hair. In the recent past however, the cabaret star, singer, and actor has moved through a deep change, most clearly expressed by the choice to cut off his hair. Only a year and half since the chop, people find it hard to comprehend that his fabulous long hair has gone, including his own mother. This portrait explores the story of Capsis, his hair and his changing identity during his role in All About My Mother for the Melbourne Theatre Company, paralleling his own relationship with his mother as she takes part in the preparation of her son's role.

A short documentary by Alethea Jones
Can you imagine wearing a jacket made out of human skin?
Imagine wearing a leather jacket that was grown in a lab. The artwork Victimless Leather is cultivated in just this way using the tools of biotechnology and a procedure known as Tissue Culture.
The creators of Victimless Leather, husband and wife team Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr are considered pioneers in the genre of Bioart. Internationally this dynamic couple leaves a wake of critical acclaim and vigorous debate, so its hard to fathom that in Australia, their home country, theyre yet to secure a significant exhibition.
Throughout TISSUE we follow Catts and Zurr growing their final Victimless Leather jacket - a notorious and highly sought after piece that brought their Perth organisation, SymbioticA into the global spotlight when another of their jackets grew out of control at New Yorks Museum of Modern Art and was subsequently euthanized by the MoMAs curator.
As if looking through a microscope, TISSUE peers into SymbioticA in much the same way its subjects investigate their own work. We meet international artists-in-residence, there to develop their own Bioart under the guidance of Zurr and scientific mentors. We brush against dozens of eerie semi-living artworks and engage in the conversation at the core of all SymbioticA art. In these rapidly changing times, how do we engage with other living entities? Humorous and playful one moment, provocative and challenging the next, TISSUE explores the world of SymbioticA and the uncomfortable space between the living and non-living.

A short documentary by Kim Munro
How far would you go?
NERVE is a film about London-based Australian photographer, Paul Knight, and his ambitious project, Proposition. Knight has built his artistic career on pushing the boundaries of sexual representation.
His new project, Proposition, is about to up the ante on previous projects, opening him up to scrutiny and possible failure. Knight has a month to find two complete strangers, of any gender or sexual orientation, to meet and then immediately have sex on film. Knight sees this as an opportunity to create a dialogue about gender and sexuality and also an opportunity to investigate/critique societal expectations and opinions of sexual behaviour.
As the sun shines on the streets of London, full of promise and hope, Knight embarks on the quest. He employs a number of strategies to find people; recording their opinions in the hope they will engage in the final act at the booked venue. Gradually spring gives way to cooler, greyer days and time is running out. Will Knight find these two willing participants?
Interwoven in Knights search, in a city of eight million people, is the story of his own attitude to sexuality, and what is really important to him.
Set against the backdrop of sex with a stranger, NERVE is about intimacy, privacy and vulnerability.

Birmingham (United Kingdom), June 23 (ANI): Loyal and excited fans thronged the Edgbaston stadium on Sunday to watch an in-form Indian team take on the home team England, in the summit clash of the ICC Champions Trophy and wished they get their money's worth and also hoped the rains don't play party-spoilers. However, the rains have interrupted the play.
" I am just hoping that the rains stay away and we have a full match, as this will be a lifetime experience," said an exuberant Indian fan, Rohan.
The media has already touted this as the battle of the equals. It is also expected that Edgbaston will witness a full-house.
Another fan, Ravi said, " We were hoping that India makes it to the final, so the first wish is accepted and now the second wish is India should lift the trophy."

Canberra Raiders star Josh McCrone was putting in some hard yakka on the family farm when he learned of his shock Country call-up yesterday.
The playmaker had returned to Temora for some fresh air and peace and quiet, blissfully unaware that he was about to be handed his breakthrough representative jersey.
McCrone thought he was the victim of a prank when Country and Raiders media manager Ben Pollack rang to tell him that Danny Buderus was out, and he was in.
''I was lucky to get the phone call actually, I was at home putting out salt blocks on the farm,'' McCrone said before making the dash down the Hume Highway.
''I just got home from that because Mum had to go get a haircut, otherwise I wouldn't have come back to the house and heard the phone.
''When I first saw the number, I thought 'what have I done here? Have I forgotten to go to a promo or something?'
''I've had a fair few phone calls, and Mum's pretty excited and calling everyone.''
Ironically, McCrone's selection allows his brother-in-law, Melbourne Storm utility Ryan Hinchcliffe, to move into the starting line-up at hooker.
Hinchcliffe is also a Temora product, and McCrone married his sister Courtney during the off-season.
''Yeah, everyone's playing happy families, aren't they?,'' McCrone laughed.
McCrone's inclusion increases Canberra's Country representation to three after winger Blake Ferguson and prop Tom Learoyd-Lahrs were named in the side on Sunday.
McCrone was chosen for his utility value, and is likely to give Hinchcliffe a breather late in each half where he can use his speed to expose some tired forwards.
The five-eighth admitted he came close to assuming the Raiders' hooker role when the club suffered a dummy half injury crisis last year.
''Tonguey [retired skipper Alan Tongue] probably played a couple of games he shouldn't have, and if he didn't get through the 80 minutes I was next cab off the rank to go to hooker,'' McCrone said.
''I think the last time I played there was about five years ago in the Premier League.''
The nature of McCrone's call-up reflects why Country is so desperate to ensure Sunday's clash with City at Mudgee isn't the concept's last.
McCrone used Tongue as a perfect example of how much the boys from the country covet the maroon and yellow jumper.
''I think it's a silly idea to can it,'' McCrone said. ''It's an opportunity for a rep jumper and a fair few guys miss out [otherwise] - Tonguey only ever got one go in a rep jumper, and that was a Country jumper.
''I'm pretty excited and I think it's a great opportunity for us Country boys to represent where we come from.''
McCrone's views were supported by Learoyd-Lahrs, who declared the game crucial to give something back to the grassroots of the game.
''It's basically recognition for the guys, like the city boys have had growing up in those big competitions and probably stronger clubs,'' Learoyd-Lahrs said. ''A lot us come from clubs that were struggling financially, and this is the system that kept them afloat.
''The other thing is guys like Joshy [McCrone] get to play alongside other class players and have that stepping stone to Origin.
''In my first Country camp I learned things about preparation and patience in games, but everything he learns is going to benefit us at club level for sure.''
NSW City v NSW Country at Mudgee, 3pm. TV Time: Delayed on WIN at 4pm.

Obama Promises to Defend Interrogators, But No Promise on the Bush Lawyers Who Signed Off
This afternoon the Obama administration released lightly redacted versions of four previously classified legal opinions from the Bush Justice Department approving CIA interrogation techniques now widely catalogued and condemned by many to have constituted torture. To continue withholding them in the face of a multi-year ACLU lawsuit to win their release, said President Barack Obama in a statement, "would only serve to deny facts that have been in the public domain for some time." Shortly after taking office, Obama ordered the abusive interrogation techniques abandoned.
Early press reports are focusing on the administration's promise not to prosecute any CIA employee who reasonably relied on the memos to carry out interrogations. The government has also said it will defend employees in U.S. or foreign courts and before Congress.
But the administration was silent on its allegiance – or lack thereof – to the former administration lawyers, from the Office of Legal Counsel, who authored or signed off on the memos. It's the lawyers who may face prosecution before a Spanish court and who've long been the subject of calls from U.S. civil liberties advocates for further investigation.
In two parting memos, outgoing Bush OLC supervisor Steven Bradbury repudiated a slew of counterterrorism-related legal opinions while defending the professional conduct of their authors.
We asked about the administration's stance on the conduct of those who wrote today's released memos. Justice Department spokesperson Tracy Schmaler said that, because an internal Office of Professional Responsibility investigation is ongoing, "We can't comment."
Today's memos help flesh out the remarkable legal story behind the previous administration's so-called war on terror – a story you can follow by exploring our chart of more than 50 related memos, listed by date, author and topic. Our continuing coverage of the battle to win release of some 30 still-secret memos can be found here.
The four newly public memos about interrogation are:
- One signed by then-OLC head Jay Bybee, dated August 1, 2002;
- Two signed by Bradbury from May 10, 2005, addressing the legality of specific torture techniques used separately or in combination;
- And a fourth under Bradbury's name discussing the use of "enhanced interrogation techniques" on "high value al Qaeda detainees."
2 comments
I honestly cried when I read:
"In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carrying out their duties relying in good faith upon the legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution," the White House statement said.
I am so proud of our country, and of our leadership. I certainly would not object to holding the former Department of Justice leadership responsible, but I honestly feel for those who only executed its orders. Obama's message of compassion and humanity could not have come soon enough.
"Just following orders" is known as the Nuremberg Defence. It didn't work then and it ought not work now.
Recall that more than mere torture was perpetrated, there were many many deaths arising from the torture sessions, what some would call murder.
Granting immunity for murder with impunity will invite home again those same chickens that came home to roost on 911, and we'll have President Obama to thank for the consequences.
Commenting on this story is closed.
The government remains uncertain what to do with its prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

This beautiful 2 handled porcelain pin tray was made in the late 1880's with the blue Royal Bayreuth Priv Blue Bavaria mark. Features a farmer with cycle cutting grass with three chickens, two hens and one rooster, in a beautiful painted farm scene. The handles have a out line of gold paint on the inside. Measures 7-3/4 inches long, 4-1/4 inches wide and 1-1/2 inches deep. The tray looks like it has never been used. Comes from an estate of a friend who had the bowl in her china cabinet for years. Her grandmother had left it to her in the 1940's. The bowl is made like R.S. Prussia which is very transparent and light. Will make a great addition to any collection.

Reviews for New tab toolbar button
47 reviews for this add-on
Simple and useful Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thanks for this useful extension
Not like the original one Rated 2 out of 5 stars
It could use the icon still included in Firefox. Furthermore, when used with New Tab Homepage View, the Google search textbox doesn't get focus.
There's still a new tab button functionality in Firefox, until you remove it from your toolbar. That is it's not visible in the Customize Toolbar dialog, but it's still there.
To add it manually, open "Help>Troubleshooting Information", then click "Open Containing Folder" and open the localstore.rdf file in your profile.
Then look for the second occurence of "chrome://browser/content/browser.xul#nav-bar" and paste "new-tab-button," (with the ",") after 'currentset="' (after the ").

New Tab Button - Thanks! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This the next best thing to the original tab button that was built in. It won't sit to the right side of the tab like the original, but it works and I'm happy. Also, to the person who seemed unhappy that the add-on doesn't also open his home page as well, even the original "new tab" button didn't function also as a "home" button. It only opened new tabs. There is a "home" button already available. The only thing I didn't like was in the 16th version of Firefox, the new tab when opened would show come kind of menu with a bunch of tiles of the last 15 or so (more of less) of the previous pages that had been visited. I didn't like that so I got rid of it and set it up to show a blank page instead every time I clicked to get a new tab. Thank you Mr Stanos for this add-on. Happy Days!

Lightweight addon @10.2kb
addon is a must for those , who have enabled Open New Tab Next to Current Tab feature in Tab Utilities Lite addon
Just Drag the New Tab Toolbar button to the extreme left inside tab bar , and use that instead of default ,
to lessen the mouse strain caused by long distance navigating action for selecting the newly opened tab everytime
Great! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Just what was needed, thanks!
I put a "Home" button on my toolbar right next to this "New Tab" button. Seems to pretty much cover all bases.
Great add-on! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
When I updated Firefox, couldn't figure out where that new tab button went. Thought something was wrong with my installation. Thankfully now I have it back with this add-on. Thanks to the developer!
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
exactly what i was looking for, since the new versions for firefox dont have 2 new tab buttons like the 3.6
Thank you very much!
((( WILL NOT OPEN HOME-PAGE ))) Rated 2 out of 5 stars
Many users want the "new tab" function to open their homepage. This extension will not do this, even if you have the correct extension to make Firefox do this automatically (like "My Homepage").
So, yes, this will put a "new tab" button somewhere on your toolbar, but if you want it to automatically open your homepage, it WILL NOT.
(Seems like a bug. Hopefully this can be fixed, please!)
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great !
I usually don't display tab bar when viewing a single page. So I always used New Tab Button to get a new tab since there's no "+" button without tab bar...
Now I can open a new tab again without having to use "Ctrl+T" or using the context menus.
I modified it to look like this Rated 5 out of 5 stars
love it, but now it point to google.com and modified it to suit my needs. Thanks for this awesome addon.

We are creatures of habit... going from Firefox 3.6.23 on to version 7 I was missing this new tab button in my toolbar. I don't want to double click on the tab bar, or click the little plus button on it :) I wanted my old way back. Thanks again.

Ingenious! Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thank god I found this addon (again).
Just updated my friend's FF but I forgot the addon's name - almost gave up! :-)
It's such a simple addon but I can't imagine living without it!
"just doubleklick the bar" is no option!
Thank you a lot for fixing Firefox' "it's not a bug, it's a feature"-policy!
Excellent Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This works in FF6! Can't thank the dev enough for this. Also reviewers Larry Love and Suoshi who's instructions (below) helped me set it up so that each page would open on my homepage. I'm sure setting up for a speed dial page would work too.
Now I can go back to work in the way I've been using FF for many years, no thanks to Mozilla themselves for losing this functionality in the first place.
Need to add Fast Dial compability Rated 2 out of 5 stars
I am very sorry for having to give this addon a poor rating since I actially does what it's supposed to. But when I open a new tab it it's a blank tab this is wrong as it should show my fast dial buttons.Please add compability for this addon.
Godsend Rated 5 out of 5 stars
This add-on is a godsend. Why the New Tab button is missing in Firefox 4 & 5 is hard to imagine. It is SO BASIC!
New Tab Button works for Firefox 5 Rated 5 out of 5 stars
A big thanks to the developer for the New Tab Button since Firefox keeps trying to make itself like *ahem* OTHER browsers instead of realising that what made it so great to begin with is being itself and being convenient to its users. I open new tabs continually. I do not want to have to use a drop-down menu to find a new tab selection. This button solves the problem that shouldn't exist to begin with. THANK YOU! :)
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Works good. The only small gripe is the image is not the same as the default Firefox version and it opens into a blank page. Both were an easy fix. Just use Photoshop or other program to change the icons and notepad to change the blank page.
Icon fix:
1. Right click and save the file to your HDD.
2. Use 7zip or other and extract the file.
3. Navigate to the "chrome" directory and locate the files "newtab.png" and "image,png" (this 2nd one not as important)
4. Open those files in Photoshop or other and change the color(s) to what you want.
What I did was I took a screen shot of my browser with the DEFAULT FIREFOX NEW TAB BUTTON MOVED from the tab bar to the button bar and pasted in PAINT. Then I copied the default FF new tab button and pretty much pasted it into the files above using Photoshop. You need to size and do some erasing and stuff but it's very easy. The image you need to fix is "NEWTAB.PNG" (it's a icon of 4 folders) the other file is basically just used when you click see add-ons.
Google Default Page fix:
1. Right click and save the file to your HDD.
2. Use 7zip or other and extract the file.
3. Navigate to the "chrome" directory and use notepad to open "newtab.js"
4. CHANGE THIS LINE: var tab = document.getElementById("content").addTab("about:blank");
TO READ: var tab = document.getElementById("content").addTab("http://www.google.com/");
5. SAVE and exit notepad
If you use the the Firefox 3 look in FF4 I've done the work:
Replace one or all 3 files in the chrome directory with the files in the link. REMOVE the spaces

A BIG BIG Thank you to the Dev of this add-on and you can use these files in an update if you want.

Diplomats said John Negroponte had delivered a very strong message for an end to Pakistan's state of emergency.
Ahead of the meeting, Gen Musharraf told the BBC his country was safe as long as the military was in charge.
He warned that if polls he has promised for January were held under disturbed conditions, the country's nuclear arms could fall into the wrong hands.
Mr Negroponte, the US Deputy Secretary of State, is expected to try to revive a deal between opposition leader Benazir Bhutto and Gen Musharraf.
He spoke to Ms Bhutto on Friday, saying "moderate forces" should work together to get Pakistan back to democracy.
Mr Negroponte is expected to call for the release of thousands of lawyers and political prisoners and an end of emergency rule as a pre-requisite for a fair election.
But Gen Musharraf had insisted that emergency rule could only be lifted once the security situation in Pakistan improves, a presidential aide said.
"President Musharraf made it clear to the visiting US envoy that the emergency can only be lifted once the situation regarding law and order improves," Gen Musharraf's aide told AFP new agency.
"He told the envoy that the emergency is meant to reinforce and strengthen the law enforcement apparatus in the fight against militancy and extremism," he added.
Mr Negroponte also met General Ashfaq Kiyani, Pakistan's deputy army chief of staff and Gen Musharraf's chosen successor if he resigns as head of the army as promised.
A military official told AFP they had "discussed matters of mutual interest and security".
Gen Musharraf says he will resign as head of the army once the Supreme Court has ratified his next term as president.
Election chaos
In an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme Gen Musharraf defended his decision to impose emergency rule.
He said that if elections were held in the wrong environment, the results could lead to chaos.
And if that happened, he argued, Pakistan's nuclear weapons could become vulnerable.
"They cannot fall into the wrong hands, if we manage ourselves politically... The military is there - as long as the military is there, nothing happens to the strategic assets, we are in charge and nobody does anything with them," he said.
Gen Musharraf told the BBC it was judges and opposition politicians - not himself - who were trying to derail the political and democratic process in Pakistan.
He demanded an explanation for his portrayal in the Western media in recent months.
"Did I go mad? Or suddenly, my personality changed? Am I Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde?" he asked.
"Have I done anything constitutionally illegal? Yes, I did it on 3 November," he said, referring to his imposition of emergency rule. "But did I do it before? Not once."
"Who is trying to derail the political and democratic process? Am I? Or is it some elements in the Supreme Court - the chief justice and his coterie... and now some elements in the political field?"
Meanwhile two leading independent television channels in Pakistan have been forced to shut down completely.
Cable broadcasts of the stations, Geo and ARY, were stopped when Gen Musharraf imposed emergency rule two weeks ago. But the two channels had been able to broadcast on satellite out of Dubai.
Now the authorities in Dubai have ordered them to stop satellite transmissions.
Angry journalists held a march through the Pakistani city of Karachi, to protest at what they say was direct pressure from Gen Musharraf to shut down the two channels.
The US said the decision to shut the channels down was troubling.
"We are troubled by this expansion of restrictions on the media despite our calls to ease the restrictions," a state department official said.
'Darling of the West'
Gen Musharraf has criticised former Prime Minister Bhutto, despite recent efforts by the two to form an alliance.
He said Ms Bhutto feared the polls, set for January, because she was corrupt and unpopular.
Gen Musharraf said she was "the darling of the West" but that "she would not like to go into an election because her party is not in a state to win at all".
"Therefore, I will certainly go for the election, in spite of any agitation by her. We will not allow her that," he said.
Ms Bhutto, who was released from house arrest on Friday, has said that she will meet other opposition leaders to discuss a boycott of January's assembly elections.
The opposition says polls under emergency rule would lack credibility.
