(Once in a while I shine the spotlight on recipes that are a bit higher in carbs or more indulgent than my usual low-carb offerings; these treats are not always sweet, but they're always something delicious that you might enjoy once in a while for a healthy treat! These Low-Sugar and Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins with Pecans would make a perfect breakfast for Halloween or Thanksgiving morning. And just a bit of history here: although now I have my favorite pumpkin recipes, I think this is the very first pumpkin recipe ever posted on Kalyn's Kitchen.)
Back in 2010 I got an e-mail from a reader named Sommer asking if I had a South Beach Diet friendly recipe for pumpkin bread or pumpkin muffins. I can't always take recipe requests but Sommer's timing was great, because I'd recently shared a huge collection of Pumpkin Recipes at BlogHer.com, and I'd been thinking about experimenting with pumpkin muffins or bread ever since.
If you need something a bit less sweet to feed the little goblins on Halloween morning, Low-Sugar and Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins might be just the thing. (Use the sweeteners of your choice, and of course you can also make the muffins with a combination of sugar and brown sugar if you don't care about making them lower in sugar.)

Low-Sugar and Whole Wheat Pumpkin Muffins with Pecans
2/3 cup + 3 T pecans (or use any nuts of your choice)
2 C white whole wheat flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (see note below for substitute for this)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon (I use Saigon Cassia Cinnamon from The Spice House)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup pumpkin puree (I used canned, but you can make your own pumpkin puree)
10 T + 2 T Stevia in the Raw Granulated Sweetener (or use sweetener of your choice or regular white sugar if you don't care about low-sugar)
2 T + 1 T brown sugar (or replace all the brown sugar with Stevia or other sweetener if you want to reduce the sugar even more)
1/4 cup grapeseed oil (or coconut oil)
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg + 1 egg white
3/4 tsp. vanilla
In a medium-sized bowl combine the white whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice (or combined spices as described above), cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree, 10 T Stevia (or other sweetener), 2 T brown sugar, oil, buttermilk, egg, egg white, and vanilla. (The mixture will be stiff.) Fold in the 2/3 cup chopped nuts.
Fill muffin cups with batter mixture, sprinkling a heaping teaspoon of the topping mixture over each muffin. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean. (I baked my muffins exactly 27 minutes.)
These muffins were light and just slightly sweet, with a good flavor that reminded me of pumpkin pie. I put half my muffins in the freezer (to help with portion control) and I'll reheat them for about a minute in the microwave when I want to eat one later.
Made with all sweetener, these muffins could be an occasional treat for phase 2 on South Beach, and if you used partly brown sugar like I did, they're probably best saved for phase 3.

One of Bentham's oldest residents has died, aged 101.
Emmanuel Jackson, known as Manny, was born in 1912 at Bideber Mill, once a corn mill serving Westhouse.
When Manny was four, the Jacksons moved to Hardacre, near Clapham, and the family's possessions were loaded onto a horse and cart.
His brother, John, was badly gassed in the Great War, but survived and went on to manage the Co-operative shops in Low Bentham and Ingleton.
Mother Isabella made butter from the shorthorn herd and this was sold at the Co-operative. There was such a demand for her produce that shoppers would queue onto the pavement.
From Hardacre, Manny walked to school and chapel in Newby. The teacher at Newby School, Mrs Slater, was one of the first in the area to have a motor car and this seemed to engender in Manny, and his many brothers, a lifelong interest in cars and motorbikes.
Manny was apprenticed as a joiner to William Wilson. However, in the Depression of the 1930s business was quiet, so Manny worked for the new Bentham Electric Company in Duke Street. He also helped his father build the Sandaber houses on Tatterthorn Lane in Bentham.
During the Second World War Manny worked at Yeadon Airport, making and maintaining the wood wings of early Anson fighter-planes.
He met his future wife, Nesta Wrathall, whilst roofing on School Hill behind what was then Dewsbury's Garage.
They were married at St Margaret's, Bentham, in June 1943, but it was a very low-key ceremony as Nesta had received news that her brother, Jack, had been killed on HMS Dasher and another brother, Edward, was a prisoner of war, although he returned safely to England.
Manny bought Bentham Sawmill in 1950 and the couple lived next door. The business grew from two to 27 employees. His firm had a reputation for quality and was bought out by Naylor Myers.
Manny and Nesta were enthusiastic supporters of Bentham generally and Manny was president of Bentham Show.
They retired to Clapham and enjoyed village life, gardening and walking. More recently they returned to Bentham and spent alternate seasons with daughter Marion and son Russell and their respective families.
His funeral at his home church of St Oswald's near Westhouse was full of relatives and friends spanning five generations from most corners of Britain and the Channel Islands.

"The Royal Islamic Strategic Studies Centre", which is an international research organization based in Jordan, published a book that compiled the most influential Muslims of the year 2010. In the work titled "The Most Influential 500 Muslims of 2010" Mr. Adnan Oktar was introduced as the "Authority on Islamic Creationism" in the 45th rank. In the publication that the author was introduced as "The Leader of Scientific Movement" these lines was reported:
Adnan Oktar
Authority on Islamic Creationism
Country: Turkey
Source of Influence: Scholarly, Scientific
Influence: The world's foremost authority on Creationism and Islam, has a huge fan base of more than 1.6 million people.
Writing under the pen name Harun Yahya, Adnan Oktar has gained international prominence as a spokesperson for creationism but also garners influence from his numerous and extensively distributed publications about Islam, and Islamic children's books. He is vocal about his stance against Darwinism and materialism and he is outspoken on the necessity to implement these ideas on the west.
Oktar is a pioneer spokesperson for creationism in Islam. His most notable publication is the Atlas of Creation which was distributed in Europe for the thousands. In it, Oktar elucidates the Muslim view of the end of times and Qur'anic proofs against Darwinism. His extensive publications and views have won him 1.6 million votes on an online Reuters Faith World poll conducted by journalist Tom Heneghan in 2009, for 'the world's most influential Muslim.'

Proceeds from auction will benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
This past weekend was a win-win for both the Ford Motor Company and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. In an attempt to raise awareness of MS, the Ford Motor Company auctioned its pride and joy: the 2014 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet prototype. The car is packed with goodies and ready to race.
Details about the 2014 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet Prototype:
- 5.0-liter supercharged V8
- T4 racing transmission
- Optional traction "wheelie" bar
- 8.50 ET certified chrome-moly safety cage
- Cobra Jet-branded Weld wheels
- Three-link rear suspension
- Lightweight racing brakes
- 9-inch rear axle
- Cobra-branded Recaro seats
What shocked the auction house, and the nation was the amount the car sold for: $200,000! Ford had no reserve on the car and after some feisty bidding at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Las Vegas, Nevada, an unidentified bidder won the car. The proceeds will help fund the organization that assists those living with MS, a disease that affects the central nervous system.
"Watching the car cross the block in support of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society was very rewarding," says Dave Pericak, Mustang chief engineer. "It is an amazing competition-ready car that will make any team an instant force in its class. This Mustang Cobra Jet will be an inspiring reminder for anyone who sees it on the drag strip to continue working to combat the effects of MS."
The person who won this prized 2014 Ford Mustang Cobra Jet prototype will get much more than an NHRA-legal vehicle; they will also become an honorary member of Team Mustang and receive full backstage passes to the Ford Product Development Center, Ford Design Studios and Ford Racing. Along with the membership and car, this lucky owner will get training at Roy Hill's Drag Racing School in Sophia, N.C.; a documentary of their training experience for a future book and film; and a video of the vehicle build, testing, and the action from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas, Nevada.
"We cannot be more grateful to the entire team at Ford Motor Company for their tireless work for our cause," said Elana Sullivan, president of the Michigan Chapter of the National MS Society. "Because of the incredible outcome of this auction, we will be able to move even closer to creating a world free of MS."
Additional facts about the car:
- Purpose-built factory race car
- Prototype for the 2014 model year racer
- Unique serial number of #2014 BJMS CJXX1
- Fiery Orange satin finish with dark gray reflective stripes
- Distinctive license plate with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's logo
"We're pleased this Mustang Cobra Jet captured so much attention at the Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas sale," says Steve Ling, North America car marketing manager for Ford. "Ford's long-standing relationship with Barrett-Jackson gives us the opportunity to help charities such as the National Multiple Sclerosis Society; Brain Injury Association of America; Carroll Shelby Foundation; and the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation through unique vehicle sales."

The eBook format wars seem to have lost a major player when Sharp announced it was discontinuing its Galapagos tablet, which used their homegrown XMDF format. This reversal has caused at least one writer to speculate it will drive Japanese publishers and device makers toward EPUB3.
The historical blocker for EPUB in Japan was its anemic support of Japanese typesetting standards, including arcane character sets and vertical type. Sharp built XMDF to address those issues. But now, according to Hiroki Kamata, writing in the Ebook 2.0 Forum:
EPUB3 now adequately supports Japanese typesetting rules (much of the work accomplished by a team of Japanese engineers) and is also usable with web browsers supporting HTML5, as well as the Japanese typesetting extension already implemented by Apple's Safari.
While the Japanese market is a tough one to crack by any measure, the prospect that EPUB will become viable in yet another market helps streamline the global eBook conversion process. More importantly, it can help stave off platform fragmentation. We can live with two eBook formats. Three is one road too many, even for a unique market like Japan.

Healthcare privacy and security issues arise every single day as information becomes less secure and enforcement grows more stringent. In fact, data breaches have risen drastically in recent years. A whopping 92 percent of all healthcare institutions have experienced one in the past few years, costing an average of $2.2 million.
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) was intended to streamline healthcare processes by establishing standards for electronic technology to process billing and insurance transactions. Although HIPAA has a mechanism by which healthcare providers can be subject to federal civil and criminal penalties for violations, HIPAA does not allow for a "private cause of action," meaning a private individual cannot sue a health care provider for breaching his or her medical privacy. So it is very important to pay close attention to the way each state's courts interpret HIPAA compliance relating to individual lawsuits.
Last week, the Tennessee Supreme Court completely dismissed one woman's lawsuit because she failed to comply with HIPAA's medical release requirements. According to the Supreme Court decision filed on November 25, Christine Stevens filed the suit after the 2010 death of her husband, Mark Stevens, who had looked for treatment at the Hickman Community Hospital emergency room.
Interestingly, there was a big difference between how the Tennessee trial judge and the state Supreme Court Justice Sharon G. Lee, who wrote for the majority, viewed Christine Stevens' responsibility in providing a HIPAA-compliant release to the defendant, Hickman Community Health Care Services. The trial court said that Stevens was excused from offering the release because of "extraordinary circumstances." Meanwhile, the Supreme Court said that a medical release requirement provides a means for the defendant to evaluate the merits of a plaintiff's claim by giving the defendant early access to a plaintiff's medical records.
So, the Supreme Court overruled the trial court's decision saying that Stevens's suit was invalid as the errors were numerous and significant. Due to Plaintiff's material non-compliance, Defendants were not authorized to receive any of the Plaintiff's records. As a result of multiple errors, Plaintiff failed to substantially comply with the requirements of Tenn. Code Ann. § 29-26-121(a)(2)(E).
Chief Justice Gary R. Wade's said that though the medical authorization form problems were significant, Stevens had substantially complied with HIPAA. Additionally, he argued that the inadequate medical authorization form didn't prevent access to the medical records, all of which he said were in the defendant's hands. Because the defendant failed to take minimal steps toward obtaining a proper medical authorization, Wade said they forfeited any claim of prejudice.
A HIPAA-compliant medical release must include:
(i) A description of the information to be used or disclosed that identifies the information in a specific and meaningful fashion.
(ii) The name or other specific identification of the person(s), or class of persons, authorized to make the requested use or disclosure.
(iii) The name or other specific identification of the person(s), or class of persons, to whom the covered entity may make the requested use or disclosure.
(iv) A description of each purpose of the requested use or disclosure.
(v) An expiration date or an expiration event that relates to the individual or the purpose of the use or disclosure.
(vi) Signature of the individual and date. If the authorization is signed by a personal representative of the individual, a description of such representative's authority to act for the individual must also be provided.

Avila proving unlucky with balls put in play
DETROIT -- Jim Leyland has the middle of his lineup going, leadoff man Austin Jackson out of a slump, and ninth hitter Omar Infante swinging like a power hitter. He does not have his catcher hitting yet. That's becoming a bigger concern.
"It would be advantageous to us if we could get Alex [Avila] going," Leyland said. "That makes you deeper and deeper, and I think he's going to get going."
Leyland isn't getting into the specialized stats on why Avila is struggling, but he's seeing the same thing many fans are.
"Early on, he was jumping on the ball pretty good," Leyland said, "and then later on, the trigger looked a little slow for some reason."
Avila's statistics show he is more aggressive swinging at pitches early in the count than he has ever been. He's swinging at the first pitch 37 percent of the time, easily topping his full-season high of 30 percent set in 2010. He's also fouling off pitches at a higher rate than he has in any season since '10.
Add it up, and he's swinging at 44.3 percent of pitches, up about 5 percent from last year, according to fangraphs.com. He's making contact with about the same percentage of swings that he did last year.
So far, though, those swings aren't bringing him up. He's hitting just .209 on balls put in play, compared with .313 a year ago.
"We do the same thing with Alex that you do with every other hitter on every other team," Leyland said. "We look at film. We hit extra. We talk about pitchers. We talk about some things. [Hitting coach Lloyd McClendon] is very good at dissecting stuff."

Bank of America Overdraft Fee Lawsuit Settlement
In late May, Bank of America's $410 million settlement of a class action lawsuit concerning debit-card overdraft fees received preliminary approval from a Miami federal judge. Thirty five banks were named in a class-action litigation and Bank of America was the first to settle. The final approval hearing will be November 7th.
Did you just get a letter in the mail about the Bank of America overdraft fee lawsuit settlement? Congratulations, you're due for a little piece of the $410 million dollar settlement that Bank of America agreed to several months ago in litigation named "In Re: Checking Account Overdraft Litigation. U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, No. 1:09-MD-02036-JLK" (they've settled on a lot of things, but that's the one this post is about). The agreement has been approved and you can now take action.
Remember a few years ago when it was revealed that banks were (allegedly) playing games when it came to the ordering of various transactions? Fifth Third Bank settled in April on something very similar. Well, the lawsuit charged that banks were processing charges days after a purchase was made, they were reordering the processing times, and doing all sorts of other chicanery in order to maximize fee
income. I won't be surprised to hear other banks settling too.
The judge ordered that the administrator create a website (it's now past July 1st so that's the website) and toll-free number (1-800-372-2390) by July 1st, so look for a website by then. Also, all class members will receive a postcard by September 2nd.
According to the website, if you want to get payment or account credit, you don't have to do anything. The website states: "You do not have to do anything to get a payment or account credit from the Settlement. If the Court approves the Settlement and it becomes final and effective, all identifiable Settlement Class Members who are entitled to receive a cash benefit and who remain in the Settlement Class will automatically get a payment or account credit and will give up their legal rights against Bank of America about thes claims in this litigation."
If you want to exclude yourself from the settlement, and thus retain the right to bring separate litigation, object, or go to a hearing, you can do so via the website (or find out more information on how to do so. If you do nothing, you'll get paid a portion of the settlement amount.Source: www.bargaineering.com

Background and Context
Indigenous Peoples and the Environment
Indigenous peoples numbering more than 400 million at present have their own worldview or concept regarding man's relation to the environment or ecological system. Since time immemorial, indigenous peoples' lives have been interdependent with their natural environment or with mother earth. They have nurtured the land with hard labor, not only for their own survival, but also for generations yet to come. They regard the symbiotic relationship with the ecological system as something to be enhanced and nurtured for the common good and for the continued survival of all. From this historical perspective, indigenous peoples can be regarded as the original ecologists and environmentalists.
Because of the indigenous peoples regard for their natural environment, this has become the base of their life, spirituality, ethnicity, culture and identity as people and their distinct collectivity. Indigenous socio-cultural and political systems are largely based on the principles of collective peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, cooperation, collective work, selflessness for the common good and consensus building in decision-making processes. This indigenous worldview makes them distinct from the prevailing western oriented culture in regard to resources.
With the advent of colonialism, indigenous peoples were considered savages who were barbaric and uncivilized because they resisted assimilation to the mainstream colonized society. Later, they were subjected to forced assimilation and development aggression which in many instances resulted in their further isolation from the so-called mainstream society. The aggression to control the natural resources of the world through colonization has disenfranchised indigenous peoples the world over. Consequently, when nation-states were formed out of the formerly colonized societies, laws on the ownership of resources by States further aggravated the oppression of indigenous peoples.
Today, this oppression is being intensified by so-called development programs which are actually designed for resource extraction especially in the homelands of indigenous peoples. Bilateral and multilateral aid agencies and multinational companies are pushing projects such as large dams, corporate mining, commercial logging, and commercial agricultural production that completely disregards the rights of indigenous people as if their integral existence with nature were just incidental. As a result, they have put up resistance which in many instances has been met with force and deception, if not with the outright use of the military might of the State.
Indigenous Peoples and Human Rights
With the historical relations of indigenous peoples to their land and territory as the material base of their survival, they have the inherent right to their land.
Because of the historical injustices committed against indigenous peoples in taking away their land and resources, and in disregarding their interests, welfare and rights as human beings, their collective right to exist as indigenous peoples must be protected and guaranteed to ensure their continuing survival. For indigenous peoples, the right to life of every human being is the right to land. For without their territory, indigenous peoples collective well-being with their natural environment will also be gone. Without the material base of their existence, indigenous peoples will not be able practice their distinct culture, spirituality and ways of life.
Thus, indigenous people claim and assert their right to self-determination. This is their collective right in the same manner that every nation-states exercise the right to self-determination as their right to development. This collective right of indigenous peoples will guarantee them the right to define and pursue their development in accordance with their own culture and ways of life, which remains dynamic. Other collective rights of indigenous peoples include the practice of their culture and indigenous systems which should be respected; the development of their languages; and the promotion of their interest and welfare in matters affecting them.
These collective rights of indigenous peoples cannot be segregated from each other and from their fundamental rights as human beings like every one else. This is to ensure that indigenous peoples will have full control of their land and resources, and in charting their own development. These collective rights of indigenous peoples are now embodied in the draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples of the United Nations, a document that has been the result of years of struggle and lobbying of indigenous peoples all over the world.
Even with the growing popularization and recognition of indigenous peoples rights, these are still being violated with impunity in most countries with indigenous peoples among their population. Thus, more and more indigenous peoples are now putting stronger resistance, and forging solidarity relations, as well as intensifying their local struggles in defense of their land and their very survival.

Related stories: Slight realignment changes in Gov. Jerry Brown's new budget proposal | Gov. Jerry Brown urges restraint in revised budget proposal
After years of punching new holes in their collective belt, Gov. Jerry Brown's latest budget revision gives more money to local schools, including funds to help ease the transition to a technology-dependent curriculum.
In January, Brown reintroduced an idea that went down in flames last year: Instead of the state paying districts the same money for all students, and paying for individual programs with funds that could only be spent certain ways, California will give districts a mostly unrestricted pool of money and districts facing additional challenges would receive additional funds.
Brown's plan, if approved, would mean no district would receive less money than it did this year, and districts would receive additional funds based on the number of students from low-income families, students whose families do not speak English at home and foster children.
On Tuesday, Brown upped the amount of that money by about 1 percent, increasing the money for local school districts by $240 million to $1.9 billion.
Bob Blumenfield, D-Van Nuys, chairman of the Assembly Budget Committee, wants to ensure poorer school districts spend their additional revenue to aid disadvantaged students.
"A rising tide lifts all boats," he said. "If our goal is to educationally help kids, great goal, but good intentions are not enough. We want to make sure that we're achieving that goal. "
The revised budget also includes $1 billion to help ease the transition to the new Common Core curriculum, a framework adopted by 45 states and the District of Columbia. The new, more rigorous curriculum, which is expected to be fully implemented in California by fall 2014, relies on computers for tests that adapt as students take them.
Edgar Zazueta, Los Angeles Unified's chief lobbyist, said the budget is "very positive" for the state's largest school district. The $1 billion allocated statewide works out to about $170 per student for 2013-14, he said. With about 550,000 students, LAUSD would receive $93.5 million that could be used for technology, professional development and instructional materials.
It's not all good news: UC Riverside's new medical school set to open this year with 50 students will do so without being fully funded. The UC system sought $15 million annually to get the school off the ground.
The school's interim chancellor was not surprised at the snub.
"We are still hopeful of securing the state funding needed for school through the legislative process," Jane Conoley said in a release. But, she noted, legislation to support the medical school is progressing through the Senate and Assembly.
Shortchanging the school will have a financial impact on the broader region, said Sen. Richard Roth, D-Riverside.
"The UCR Medical School is a critical catalyst for new economic growth for Riverside and Inland Southern California that will attract new biomedical research and development," he said. "The medical school will grow health care employment at all levels – from GEDs to Ph.D.s. "

Glamour and glitz are just the surface of Las Vegas. Beneath the skin of five-star hotels and vibrant street theatre this desert oasis is a cultural epicentre, filled with museums and art galleries. On its outskirts sit eerie ghost towns, memorable for their silence, in contrast to Vegas' bustling streets.
So book a flight to Las Vegas with Qatar Airways for one of the most entertaining breaks available on the US' west coast.
If you are travelling to Las Vegas with children, be sure to pay a visit to the Adventuredome Theme Park, a five-acre indoor entertainment centre with fun for all ages. It is home to the largest indoor rollercoaster in the world. And if 'coasters' are your thing, don't miss the Desperado, which includes a 70m drop down a 55-degree incline. It can be found at Buffalo Bill's Hotel, around 40 minutes from Las Vegas, in the outlying district of Primm.
Las Vegas is synonymous with Bonnie and Clyde, two of America's most notorious outlaws. Also in Primm you can see the bullet-riddled car in which they made their final getaway. For a taste of the Old West, head to Bonnie Springs, monument to the frontier days of gunfights and gold-mining.

19 fun car road trip activities
Turn an ordinary drive into a world of fun adventures and possibilities. more
Have a clear plan for how you will handle a tantrum for a range of situations, ie; at home, out shopping, playing at friend's houses. If a tantrum then occurs, remember to focus on your plan rather than the tantrum. This will help keep you calm and in control.
If your child is old enough to understand, you can remind them of past experiences and the consequences of misbehaving.
Refocus their attention by calmly offering something else to do, see, eat or play with.
The faster you can intervene or distract your child from a tantrum the better.
This aligns you with them and sets the stage for him/her to begin to work through his own problems. For example, setting up a chart for positive behaviour they need to work towards helps your child to focus on a positive goal.
Stay within the child's sight but carry on normal activities without talking to him or acknowledging the tantrum.
Once a tantrum is over, the child is entitled to start over with a clean slate. Comfort may be given, but any original demands the child had should not be fulfilled. Otherwise, tantrums will become a way of life.
If a tantrum does happen you need to be strong. If you are out shopping, for example, leave the shopping basket where it is and take your child out to the car or somewhere quiet until the tantrum is over. They need to see they can't hold you hostage to a situation.
For a few days - when the tantrums happen - note what time of day, what you are doing and what your child is doing, when it happens. If it always happens around dinner, try letting your child have her dinner earlier, giving her a bath before dinner, letting her help you prepare the meal, or having some special time with her at this time of day.
If you are unable to stay near because you feel yourself losing control and are worried about what you may do, tell your child that you will be leaving for a short time but will be back soon to look after him. Make sure he is safe and have someone else stay with him if you can.

Maybe we are overrating michael jordan too much.
I remember in the 80s and 90s jordan was guarded by players shorter than him or players less physically gifted than him. 1980s never won. Fast forward 90s against the lakers i forgot who guarded him. Against the knicks john starks? Seattle gary payton? Utah against byron russell, howard eisley, shannon anderson....even jeff hornacek.
The only player who played great defense against jordan was derrick mckey. I remember the 98 series and wow i thought we won that.
So if jordan plays today we will never know if he can score 40 points with the emergence of more physically gifted, quicker and taller players.

Vehicle replica of Speed Racer's famous Mach 5? Yes. Action figures of Speed Racer and the gang? Not so much. Such was the hard lesson learned by ReSaurus; the truth shown all too clearly by the red sticker sale price of $1.94. To be fair, the figures were well done. I just think ReSaurus over estimated the demand for Speed Racer collectibles. Heck, even a major motion picture years later couldn't change that fact.

Redlands >> A Redlands man was in custody after an early morning incident that left his mother dead and sister hospitalized.
At 5:35 a.m. Saturday, police responded to a call from the 400 block of Doyle Avenue where they found the suspect's mother, 46, and sister, 21.
According to neighbors, four people lived in the house: a mother, two adult children and a grandchild.
Police arrested Pablo Hernandez Jr., 25, on charges of murder and attempted murder, according to department spokesman Carl Baker.
Authorities late Saturday identified the slain woman as Ines Hernandez.
Pablo Hernandez's sister was treated by Redlands Fire Department paramedics and was transported to a hospital where she underwent surgery. Her condition was unknown.
Police declined to say what type of wounds the two women sustained.
Neighbor Jeff Reeves, whose house was cordoned off and whose front door had a bloody handprint on it, said he and his wife heard their doorbell ring early in the morning, shortly after he returned from work.
"I heard the doorbell ring and the girl call for help," Reeves said. "When I looked outside, I saw her back was covered with blood."
Neighbor Paul Prieto said he heard someone screaming and went out to aid a girl who was seeking help.
"All I heard was someone yelling they needed help," he said. "I went outside; the cops turned the corner and put lights on us and turned (toward) the house," he said.
Prieto said he went out to see who was screaming and it was his neighbor's family.
"By the time I came out, the cops already had him," he said. "Thank God."
Anyone with additional information is asked to call police Detective Corey Hunt or Redlands Police Dispatch at 909-798-7681. Anonymous tips can be provided by texting 274637, using the keyword "REDTIP."

Manning arguments wrap up; judge to deliberate
FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) - Army Pfc. Bradley Manning's fate was in the hands of a military judge Friday after nearly two months of conflicting portrayals of the soldier: a traitor who gave WikiLeaks classified secrets for worldwide attention and a young, naive intelligence officer who wanted people to know about the atrocities of war.
Judge Col. Denise Lind said she will start deliberating Friday on the 21 charges Manning faces, but she did not say when she would rule, only that she will give the public a day's notice before her announcement. The most serious charge is aiding the enemy, which carries a potential life sentence in prison.
During closing arguments, defense attorney David Coombs said Manning was negligent in releasing classified material, but he did not know al-Qaida would see the material and did not have "evil intent," a key point prosecutors must prove to convict Manning of aiding the enemy.
Prosecutors contended Manning, 25, knew the material would be seen across the globe, even by Osama bin Laden, when he started the leaks in late 2009. Manning said the leaks didn't start until February the following year.
"Worldwide distribution, that was his goal," said the military's lead prosecutor, Maj. Ashden Fein. "Pfc. Manning knew the entire world included the enemy, from his training. He knew he was giving it to the enemy, specifically al-Qaida."
After Coombs finished his three-hour argument, there was a smattering of applause from Manning supporters, who were quickly hushed by the judge.
"All right, that's enough," Lind said. "This is a court of law. I would ask, please, that you keep your reactions muted."
Meanwhile, one of Manning's most visible supporters was banned from the trial Friday after the judge said someone posted threats online. Clark Stoeckley, a college art instructor from New Jersey, confirmed he was the one booted.
Stoeckley attended the court-martial often as a sketch artist, arriving each day in a white box truck with bold words painted on the sides: "WikiLeaks TOP SECRET Mobile Information Collection Unit."
A tweet Thursday night from an account Stoeckley used said: "I don't know how they sleep at night but I do know where." It was removed Friday and Stoeckley told The Associated Press on Twitter he couldn't comment.
Inside the courtroom, a few spectators smiled - as did Manning - when Coombs mocked a former Army supervisor who testified last week that Manning told her the American flag meant nothing to him and that she suspected before they deployed to Iraq that Manning was a spy. Coombs noted she had not written up a report on Manning's alleged disloyalty, though had written ones on him taking too many smoke breaks and drinking too much coffee.
Manning also faces federal espionage, theft and computer fraud charges. The Crescent, Okla., native has acknowledged giving WikiLeaks some 700,000 battlefield reports, diplomatic cables and videos. But he says he didn't believe the information would harm troops in Afghanistan and Iraq or threaten national security.
"The amount of the documents in this case, actually is the best evidence that he was discreet in what he chose because if he was indiscriminate, if he was systematically harvesting, we wouldn't be talking about a few hundred thousand documents - we'd be talking about millions of documents," Coombs said.
Giving the material to WikiLeaks was no different than giving it to a newspaper, Coombs said.
"That's giving information to a legitimate news organization in order to hold the government accountable," Coombs said.
The government disagreed and said Manning would also be charged if he had leaked the classified material to the media.
Coombs also showed three snippets of video from a 2007 U.S. Apache helicopter attack Manning leaked, showing troops firing on a small crowd of men on a Baghdad sidewalk, killing several civilians, including a Reuters news photographer and his driver. Coombs said the loss of civilian lives shocked and horrified the young soldier.
"You have to look at that from the point of view of a guy who cared about human life," Coombs said.
Coombs has said Manning was troubled by what he saw in the war - and at the same time was struggling as a gay man in the era of "don't ask don't tell." Those struggles made him want to do something to make a difference and he hoped revealing what was going on in Iraq and Afghanistan and U.S. diplomacy would inspire debate and reform in American foreign and military policy.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said Friday in a telephone press conference that if the aiding the enemy charge is allowed to stand, it will be "the end of national security journalism in the United States."
He accused the Obama administration of a "war on whistleblowers" and a "war on journalism."
The verdict and any sentence will be reviewed, and could be reduced, by the commander of the Military District of Washington, currently Maj. Gen. Jeffery S. Buchanan.

Two of six people killed in a an early-morning head-on collision on the 60 Freeway in Diamond Bar have been identified, and coroner's officials continued working Sunday to determine the identities of the other four.
Five women and one man died in the 5 a.m. crash between a Chevrolet Camaro, which was allegedly heading the wrong way on the freeway and driven by a drunken driver, and a Ford Explorer, California Highway Patrol officials said. The collision occurred in the westbound lanes of the 60 Freeway, just west of Phillips Ranch Road.
Two of the victims, a 24-year-old black woman from Chino and a 24-year-old black woman from Rialto, were identified through fingerprints Sunday afternoon, however their names were not released pending notification of their families, Los Angeles County Department of Coroner Lt. Fred Corral said. It was not clear which vehicle they had been riding in.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) – We all know that a dog is man's best friend, but that's not always true for insurance companies. There are certain dogs that are blacklisted by insurers.
Betty from Knoxville asks: "If you own a certain breed of dog, can you have a harder time getting homeowners insurance?"
As much as you may love your dog, your homeowners insurance may not, depending on the breed. Risk managers say insurance companies go by the average number of bites reported for a certain breed of dog in determining which are the most aggressive and might have breeding restrictions on them.
The Humane Society of the United States reports that the bite list changes from year to year and from one area of the country to another, depending on the popularity of the breed.
Just a few years ago, the doberman was the breed to fear, even though it can be affectionate and obedient according to the American Kennel Club.
Today, the doberman is number two on the list of bites reported across the country. Topping the list now are pit bulls and Staffordshire terriers as being the most aggressive dogs.
However, advocates from the Humane Society say these dogs are unfairly demonized. Again, it is dog bites that the insurance industry tracks because they accounted for more than one third of all homeowners insurance liability claims paid out in 2012, according to industry records.
Rottweilers are number three on the bite list. Experts say while they make good service or therapy dogs, they're very protective of their territory and are known to be aggressive if not kept under control.
If you have one of the dogs that might be deemed aggressive by your homeowners insurance company, should you tell them you own one of these animals when they ask?
Because insurance companies have a misrepresentation clause in their coverage, and if you don't reveal you have one of the dogs considered overly aggressive and you file a claim, they may not pay anything.
Some dog friendly carriers do not discriminate by breed while others do.

When booking a Kenya and Tanzania safari, there are a wealth of excellent locations to explore the endemic flora and fauna, but one of the most underrated destinations for nature travelers in East Africa is Tarangire National Park in northern Tanzania.
Named for the mighty Tarangire River that crosses its grounds, Tarangire National Park is an arid stretch of grassland that spans an area of roughly 1,000 square miles. Its dusty expanses of dry grass and red clay formations have produced a unique environment that harkens back to prehistoric times. This environment has given rise to beautiful forests of baobab trees, whose skeletal visage sets the park's aesthetic apart from its contemporaries.
Despite this arid landscape, the park is home to a rich and diverse crop of wildlife that ranges from wading water fowl to massive cats — notably the country's largest population of tree-climbing lions. Central to the park's appeal is its large population of African elephants. Herds of as many as 300 majestic pachyderms can regularly be seen crossing the plan in search of food and water.
Other animals commonly spotted in the celebrated preserve include wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, impala and gazelle. Birds in the park include the Kori bustard, stocking-thighed ostrich and ground hornbill.

Enacted pursuant to Section 922 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Rule 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provides for monetary awards and protection from retaliation for corporate whistleblowers, among other things. Awards under the rule are limited to information relating to violations of federal securities laws leading to a successful Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enforcement action resulting in monetary sanctions exceeding $1 million. While the granting of awards under the rule is contingent on the satisfaction of multiple procedural and substantive requirements, the rule creates an unavoidable incentive for the disclosure of sensitive information about subject companies, including information that may be subject to attorney-client privilege, which, under certain circumstances, may be deemed a waiver of such privilege.
In adopting Rule 21F, the SEC implicitly recognized this incentive, and expressly excluded tips based on information obtained through attorney-client privileged communications or in the course of the legal representation of others from eligibility for awards. Such exclusion is not applicable, however, where the disclosure of the information was otherwise permitted, such as instances where the privilege had been waived, or where disclosure was permitted under applicable ethical standards or SEC rules or regulations (for example, Sarbanes-Oxley provisions permitting disclosure to the SEC under certain circumstances). It should also be noted that while the rule protects certain attorney-client privileged information, other confidential information, including information protected by a non-disclosure or similar agreement, is not protected under the rule and companies generally may not seek to prevent a whistleblower from disclosing information to the SEC by enforcing, or threatening to enforce, a confidentiality agreement.
Although attorney-client privileged information may not form the basis of a whistleblower award, the exclusion to the rule raises significant issues relating to what constitutes a privilege waiver for companies which are the subject of a whistleblower allegation. Significantly, while the SEC is not permitted under Rule 21F to give monetary awards based on privileged information, the rule does not address the issue of whether an unsuccessful whistleblower's disclosure of the privileged information to the SEC may nonetheless constitute the basis of a third party claim that the privilege has been waived.
The determination of what constitutes a company's waiver of a claimed attorney-client privilege varies significantly depending on the jurisdiction and the specific facts of the case. While many courts will look to the company's intent and factors such as how carefully the information was protected internally and the position of the person disclosing the information within the organization, other courts have taken a much stricter approach holding that any third party disclosure may constitute a waiver.
While no court to date has considered the issue in the context of Rule 21F, the application of the latter approach would suggest that any information provided to the SEC in connection with a whistleblower's claim may constitute a waiver of the privilege. Accordingly, companies should continuously evaluate their procedures to protect privileged information internally, and to retain the privilege with respect to protected information improperly disclosed. These steps may include limiting dissemination of privileged information internally to a strictly "need to know" basis, preparing strict confidentiality and waiver policies and immediately and vigorously asserting privilege over information that the company believes has been wrongfully disclosed.
Rule 21F became effective in August 2011, and while the SEC has reported a significant number of allegations being made under the rule, it is premature to evaluate the SEC's application of the rule or its effect, if any, on attorney-client privileged information. However, the adoption of this rule and the potential financial incentives that it offers for the disclosure, and possible waiver, of privileged information clearly warrants increased vigilance by companies.

Giants dig out of six-run hole at Coors Field
Cain overcomes rocky start for his third consecutive win
DENVER -- Thursday night's first three innings didn't represent the resilient effort the Giants had in mind.
They fell behind the Colorado Rockies, 6-0, as starter Matt Cain yielded three home runs. It echoed the six- and five-run deficits the Giants faced after one inning during lopsided defeats Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively, in Toronto. Then the pendulum swung inevitably and irrevocably in the other direction, as it often does in baseball.
"Especially here," Giants first baseman Brandon Belt said, referring to Coors Field. "There are a lot of runs to be scored here."
For the rest of the evening, the Giants scored all of them. They amassed five runs in the fourth inning and three more in the sixth to prevail, 8-6, lengthening their winning streak against National League West rival Colorado to 10 games.
Brandon Crawford's bases-loaded double highlighted the big fourth for the Giants, who entered the game leading the NL in hitting. Crawford also contributed to the sixth-inning uprising that featured Angel Pagan's tiebreaking, two-run single.
This decision reflected the Giants' growing ability to strong-arm opponents offensively. That wasn't always the case, even while they were winning two of the previous three World Series.
"We were known for the strength of our rotation and playing close 2-1 ballgames," said left-hander Jeremy Affeldt, who set up Sergio Romo's 13th save with two innings of hitless relief. "But right now our close ballgames are 6-5."
Coincidentally, the Giants last overcame a 6-0 deficit to win here on Sept. 23, 2005, when they rebounded to post a 7-6 triumph.
Maybe the spirit of Hunter Pence moved them again. Belt recalled that before the Giants launched their comeback, Pence -- whose verbal encouragement roused them last postseason and on occasions earlier this year -- just happened to speak up.
"Hunter was like, 'Synergy, synergy, we have to believe,'" Belt said. "I hadn't heard from him in a couple of games, and sure enough, we scored five runs. He's a magician. That's unbelievable."
Crawford delivered the biggest hit in the fourth, clearing the bases by lining a 2-2 slider from Rockies starter Jhoulys Chacin into right-center field.
"I was ready for anything," Crawford said. "He threw me a lot of sinkers outside. I actually thought he might go back to that. He went with a slider and fortunately I stayed on it."
Chacin faltered again in the sixth as Pagan, the only Giant who hadn't reached base safely to that point, grounded an 0-2 pitch up the middle to send home Belt and Crawford after Gregor Blanco's sacrifice fly forged a 6-6 deadlock.
"He didn't hit it well; he hit it in a good place," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said, referring to Pagan's hit. "Sometimes good things happen when you put it in play."
Said Chacin (3-3), "I wasn't aggressive like the first three innings, throwing aggressive strikes. Those guys, they're always waiting for the opportunity to do damage."
The Rockies did all the damage earlier, as Todd Helton and Nolan Arenado homered on back-to-back pitches in the second inning and Wilin Rosario pumped a three-run, opposite-field homer to right in the third. It marked the third time this year that Cain, who has surrendered a Major League-high 13 homers, has allowed three long balls in one game.
But the right-hander regained enough equilibrium to retire 13 of the final 15 batters he faced. "I really had nothing else to lose," said Cain (3-2), plainly disgusted with himself. He also singled to drive in the final run of the fourth inning and preceded Pagan's go-ahead hit with an essential sacrifice bunt.
To spare Cain the wear and tear of traveling, the Giants sent him here from San Francisco and allowed him to bypass Toronto, where the Giants were outscored 21-9. But the Opening Day starter watched the pair of losses on television and didn't recognize his teammates.
"That was definitely not characteristic of how we've played," Cain said.
The Giants proved that with this triumph.

text: After spending his childhood being teased and beaten up, David Spade used his business degree from Arizona State to pursue the stand-up dream. Eventually relocating to LA, he caught the eye of an agent at a comedy club who cast him in Police Academy 4. In 1989, he appeared on HBO's 13th Annual Young Comedians Show, which was hosted by Dennis Miller who would help him secure a coveted Saturday Night Live position a year later. During his six years there, he perfected his snide-with-a-smile delivery, developed his love of skewering celebrities in "Hollywood Minute" segments (a blueprint for his later series, The Showbiz Show) and met the men who would become his most successful partners in comedy like Chris Farley .Utilizing what he called the "age-old secret of fatty and skinny," he and Farley cracked up audiences in Black Sheep and Tommy Boy. It also hooked him up with Adam Sandler who has produced several Spade vehicles like Joe Dirt and given him a plethora of other roles in films like Grown Ups and Hotel Transylvania. His career has seen plenty of ups including being a spokesperson for Sierra Mist and Capital One, earning a star on the Walk Of Fame, dating Lara Flynn Boyle, Kristy Swanson and Julie Bowen, and getting an Emmy nomination for Just Shoot Me. The current Rules of Engagement star has also had his fair share of downs from being attacked with a stun gun and robbed by his personal assistant and being charged with reckless jet-skiing. In 2008, his brief hook-up with Playboy Playmate Jillian Grace resulted in a daughter named Harper.
