School board committee looks at 518 curriculum
WORTHINGTON -- District 518 School Board Instructional Committee met on Wednesday to discuss several upcoming events within the district.
Worthington High School Principal Paul Karelis presented a new media and computer arts class which will be offered next year.
The course will be offered through the business department and will be an option for students looking to fulfill the one-credit art requirement.
Karelis said he believes the course will complement the yearbook class and graphics program already in place. The course will expand on basic computer skills and will introduce students to various graphic arts software programs.
"I think it's a wise move," he said. "I think it's something that will open opportunities for students as they go through the registration process."
The committee also reviewed the possibility of offering biology, biotechnology, graphic arts and introduction to statistics as concurrent college courses at the high school. There are approximately 15 to 20 juniors and seniors currently enrolled in the Post-Secondary Enrollment Options program (PSEO).
Offering these additional four courses will not only expose students to more academic options at the collegiate level, but is financially beneficial as well.
The district currently pays per class for concurrent enrollment, which costs an estimated $1,800. The cost invested in these courses is cheaper than sending students off-campus, according to Karelis.
In other business, the committee on Wednesday:
* Discussed the WHS orchestra's trip to the University of Iowa orchestra invitation Feb. 25-26 in Iowa City.
* Discussed the review of the special education program. The review is still ongoing and will evaluate various aspects of the program and its expenditures. A final review will be discussed at the next committee meeting.
* Discussed the joint staff development day on March 14.
* Discussed the district's coordinator of curriculum and instruction position. The position will be filled by Katie Clark, who will start Monday, Feb. 21.
* Discussed the progress of Dashboard, which tracks a wide spectrum of data within the district. Dashboard is still in the draft stages and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
* Discussed calendar adjustments to make up three snow days. Possible make-up days include April 21 (originally scheduled as part of spring break vacation), May 6 (originally scheduled as a staff in-service day) and adding May 25.
Two additional days will be added to the third quarter at Worthington High School.
* Discussed new guidelines and procedures that will be utilized for volunteers within the district. The guidelines and procedures will be implemented next year.
* Discussed possible Minnesota State High School League football changes. MSHSL is looking to change how games are scheduled, as well as state tournament appearances and adding another class.
A final decision on proposed changes is not expected for another year.
All items discussed at Wednesday's Instructional committee meeting will be presented for the full school board's approval Tuesday.

I ran into something new with my port last week, and thought I would share in case it helps someone...
The last couple of times we have tried to access my port for chemo, there has been a little difficulty getting good blood return. (They won't give me the chemo without good blood return, because the chemo is a vesicant.)
The first time it happened they had me do some simple movements (raise my arm and turn my head, stand up, lay down, etc.) to get the blood return. This last time, nothing was working. There were 3 nurses who tried everything.
What finally worked was an injection called TPA. (I think it is a blood thinner, not sure though.) The nurse had to get permission from the onc to use it. She injected it into the port, I sat and waited 30 minutes while it did it's thing. After 30 minutes, the nurse withdrew the TPA....and whawla...beautiful easy blood return.
The nurse said that sometimes tissue grows around the port and interfere with it's function...she said the TPA 'cleans that out'. We'll see how the port does this week...

I almost always have had issues with my port. Even today, when I went in to have it flushed.
Sounds like you have had to do what I had to do: recline more, raise arm, turn, cough, move to an even flatter surface, injection. The joke is that I practically had to stand on my head to get a blood return.
Now that I am done with chemo (mid-July), I just go in to have it flushed every six weeks. (After my next CT scan next month, I will know if I can get my port out.) The last two times, since my port is not now being used for chemo or a blood draw, I still do some of those contortions. Then the nurses decide just to give me an anti-clot drug and be done with it.
Not sure why I have this problem, but I will say I got tired of its seeming to take forever to get chemo going -- although I was thankful that they were careful to make sure things looked good to go.

Hello Linda
I am a newbie here. I also have a port for chemo. I've never had a problem so far with blockage but I did Have to have a port replaced due to infection.
Nov 05, 2012 - 10:14 pm
I've never had any problems with getting good flow with my port in the 3+ yrs it's been in. Well there was one time when a student RN did it byt she just hadn't pushed it in enough. I get mine flushed evvery month as that is what is on the card from the manufacturer. The Cancer Center says you can do it every 8 weeks but my PA agrees with me - if the manufacture says every 4 weeks. It needs to be done monthly. Also I never get more than a tiny drop of blood when it's removed - some times not even that. But then I don't ever get more than a drop (maybe 2) of blood from a blood draw or blood donation. (The only time my port has been used for a blood draw was on a day that it was scheduled for a flush and I had a blood draw scheduled the same day so RN did the draw when she flushed.)
Thanks for the heads up and I will keep it iin mind in case a problem evelopes.

Sorry to hear about your trouble with your port. You have already been through too much. I admire your strength. I've never had a port although I've had chemo twice. I can't imagine what you are going through. You are one patient woman! Hugs.

Big Ticket winner gets Dh1m
Abu Dhabi Duty Free's Big Ticket raffle draw winners were announced today for the month of January producing the raffle's first grand prize winner to come from the Philippines.
Victor Cabote Arogar, 33, a senior technician resident in Abu Dhabi for seven years, bought his lucky ticket at Abu Dhabi International Airport before taking his vacation last month. Arogar is married and has one daughter on whom he intends to invest the Dh1 million for her education.
"I am very thankful and happy for the draw's result. I really could not believe it at first when I received the call telling me I was the grand prize winner!'' said Arogar.
"The popularity of the Big Ticket continues to grow and we are pleased to see a fair mix of visitors to the UAE along with residents taking their chance to become Abu Dhabi Duty Free's monthly millionaire,'' said Dan Cappell, General Manager, Abu Dhabi Duty Free.
In addition to Airport locations in both Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, customers can also buy their tickets at the City Terminal in Abu Dhabi City (opposite the Beach Rotana Hotel), the Ghweifat land-border shop between the UAE and KSA and online at www.addf.ae.

Towards a Differentiated Modelling of Origin Effects in Hedonic Analysis:An Application to Auction Prices of Specialty Coffee
Origin matters. This has been shown by numerous studies using either discrete choice or hedonic approaches to derive implicit prices for origin as a product attribute. In most of the hedonic studies, intercept dummies were introduced for specific regional origins and statistically significant coefficients of those variables were seen as an indication of either a superior or inferior reputation compared to products from other origins. We argue that hedonic pricing models of this type may be too simple to detect the true origin effects if assessments of a product's sensory quality are available and interact with prior beliefs on reputation. Based on a supply-and-demand framework to explain auction prices, a reduced-form hedonic pricing model is suggested that includes intercept- as well as slope-dummy effects of the regional origin. As reputation and the objective product quality are particularly important on markets of differentiated, high-quality foods and beverages we analyze auction markets of specialty coffees. The findings for the Cup-of-Excellence data reveal that it is important to distinguish reputation, sensory quality and their interaction as determinants of coffee auction prices as well as varying origin impacts across market segments.

Hot Starcraft II is Frying Graphics Cards, Blizzard Issues Temporary Fix

Starcraft II is overheating some users GPUs, but Blizzard has released a temporary fix.
(Source: Doupe)
Starcraft II fans beware, your graphics card may get Zerg rushed
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty
, the first game in Blizzard's highly anticipated real-time strategy sequel trilogy
launched on Tuesday
. Unfortunately, the blockbuster PC title -- which is expected to sell 10 million copies or more -- had some bumps during its launch.
There were a number of minor bugs, but nothing show stopping at first. Then the reports of melting GPUs hit.
Among those affected was Adam Biessener of
Game Informer
whose card melted while he was live blogging about his game experience. He bemoaned, "Three hours of cursing later, I'm posting this from my wife's laptop because both my graphics card and my work laptop appear to be fried."
The problem appears to be located in the main menu, where an uncapped frame rate maxes out the GPU, in some cases pushing it to overheating and potentially permanent failure.
Blizzard has issued a response on its support site, acknowledging that it was aware of the issue, and offering a quick fix. The company
Certain screens make your hardware work pretty hard
Screens that are light on detail may make your system overheat if cooling is overall insufficient. This is because the game has nothing to do so it is primarily just working on drawing the screen very quickly. A temporary workaround is to go to your Documents\StarCraft II Beta\variables.txt file and add these lines:
You may replace these numbers if you want to.
For eager customers who already lost a graphics card, though, that fix may prove too late. Blizzard has
announced any plans to replace the lost hardware of victims who experienced the bug.
Many customers are outraged at this.
one victim Lorsaire:
Why was this not addressed already before release, and why were there no breaking news warnings or updates to fix this before people started having damage done to their hardware? My Nvidia GeForce cost me more than $300 to get a good card that was great for gaming... Blizzard are you doing anything or have plans to compensate people for the damage you've created?
Of course some of the cards may be covered by manufacturer warranties. And while it does appear a bug (uncapped framerates) is partially to blame for killing off the cards, a card pushed to the max would generally not die instantly were it not for poorly engineered and/or defective cooling. It appears that the cards ultimately were done in by the double blow of both a software bug (in
) and hardware issues.
The game features intensely addictive multiplayer gaming between three diverse races -- the Zerg, the Protoss, and the Terrans. It also features a single player campaign in which you play a Terran rebel.
Future titles
Heart of the Swarm
Legacy of the Void
will included Protoss and Zerg campaigns, and possibly deliver new multiplayer features as well. Just beware the uncapped framerates.

Thanks guys. Yup, th4ese darn pain meds due a number on me. I had posted something here several months ago and then when I went in the next day, what a mess. It was kind of funny.
I am doing OK. The DR did a bit more surgery than we expected so I have about an 8 inch curved scar or more from the top of the breast, under and over to the arm pit. As Mark has said, I am all bound up. It's not too bad. I just had a bad night as I can only sleep on my back.
On one from my family (other than my DDs remembered). It kind of makes me feel bad. I guess my mother and sisters are sick of hearing about my surgeries or cancer in general. So no one called. Oh well, that is life I guess.
My sister had surgery on her thumb and that is all my mother talked about before and after for the past 3 weeks. I did contact my sister over the week end to see how her thumb was feeling though.
It must be the meds, I am feeling sorry for myself. But then I come here and can feel the warmth.
Thank you.

"Better for older kids"
This was another book that I purchased for my 6-year old daughter. I am afraid that she never really got into it, and after about 1 hour she asked me to stop playing it. I don't thins that this book is really meant for younger children. I don't mean to say that it is inappropriate for younger children. I just think that the beginning starts a little slow for them and it is hard for them to become engaged with the story. Also, the main theme of the book for the first hour is a 12-year old girl coping with the emotional aftermath of her parents separation and recent divorce. Topics that are just a little heady for a 6-year old who has not yet contemplated, nor probably wants to, such a situation. The performance of the narrator is adequate, and the writing is actually not bad, the story was just not for my daughter. But I could see how older children, especially those who are coping with their own parents divorce, might actually really like this book.

It would be easier if they have been turned over to a collection agency, But you still have a good chance if they are still with the hospital.

Guinness Premiership - Round 4 Review
Saracens march on to top spot
September 25, 2009
Saracens fullback Alex Goode is caught by Mike Tindall © Getty Images
London Irish 28 - 16 Wasps Saracens 19 - 16 Gloucester Rugby Bath Rugby 20 - 20 Leicester Tigers Northampton Saints 30 - 10 Yorkshire Carnegie Worcester Warriors 24 - 18 Sale Sharks Newcastle Falcons 17 - 17 Harlequins
Replacement hooker Schalk Brits scored the decisive try and fly-half Glen Jackson chipped in with 14 points as Saracens condemned Gloucester to their third consecutive defeat, going top of the Guinness Premiership thanks to a 19-16 triumph.
The Cherry and Whites had taken a second-minute lead through Rory Lawson's opportunist try and maintained that advantage until Brits barged over in the 67th minute. Nicky Robinson landed three penalties and a conversion but he missed with an injury-time drop goal that would have earned Gloucester a draw.
Sarries skipper Steve Borthwick was forced off after just 13 minutes with a nasty cut to his left eye after an apparent clash with the Gloucester hooker Olivier Azam. Saracens' uninspiring brand of rugby may be winning matches but it is not winning them many new friends - only 7,777 turned up and some of them were booing in frustration before Brits plundered over to secure the win.
Lawson put Gloucester ahead inside two minutes after Alasdair Strokosch stole the Saracens lineout 10 metres out and the Scottish scrum-half darted through the gap to score. But Saracens stuck by the boot and it once again proved effective as Gloucester failed to deal with successive high balls and on both occasions conceded penalties. Jackson stroked both kicks over.
Jackson and Robinson exchanged further penalties as the game descended into another drab affair of few openings and plenty of mindless, aimless kicking. Gloucester have had discipline problem this season and after receiving a team warning for persistent infringements, Lawson became their fifth player to be sin-binned so far this campaign.
Jackson missed the penalty but opened the second period with a drop-goal. But, once again, Robinson replied with a penalty almost immediately. Saracens reverted back to kicking everything and their approach began to draw jeers, whistles and slow handclaps from their own supporters during a particularly tedious bout of kick-tennis.
But Justin Marshall's introduction changed the tempo and, after Saracens kicked a penalty into the corner, the former All Black orchestrated a series of close-range attacks before Brits drove over the line.
A titanic arm-wrestle at the Rec between Bath and Leicester saw a late Dan Hipkiss try cancelled out by a Nicky Little penalty and the teams finish 20-20 in their Guinness Premiership clash on Saturday.
The visitors outscored their hosts by two tries to one as Hipkiss was joined by Mefin Davies on the scoresheet but a typically robust score from Matt Banahan and five penalty goals from Little saw Bath hold the initiative for most of the match.
Leicester were well marshalled by their fly-half Jeremy Staunton who kicked two penalties and converted both tries for Richard Cockerill's side - the touchdowns being the Tigers' first of the season. They also saw their captain Geordan Murphy helped from the field late in the second-half when he appeared to injure an already troublesome shoulder after landing awkwardly in attempting to get to a ball that he'd kicked ahead.
It wasn't until the 76th minute that a Ben Youngs break saw him fire a pass to Hipkiss who stood up his defender and scorched over for a crucial try that Leicester had a realistic chance at victory.
It wasn't to be though as Bath, fully deserving of the draw in front of their fans, had Little step up and slot a late penalty to earn himself the Man of the Match award and Bath a share of the spoils.
Shane Geraghty produced an inspired performance to lead Northampton to a bonus point 30-10 victory over bottom-of-the-table Leeds in the Guinness Premiership on Saturday.
Geraghty, a leading candidate to start for England in the autumn internationals due to injuries to Riki Flutey and Toby Flood, was the star turn at Franklin's Gardens in his usual position of fly-half, scoring one try and setting up two others for in-form centre Jon Clarke. The 23-year-old also chipped in with seven points with the boot, through one penalty and two conversions, the second of which was the bonus point try by Chris Ashton.
Leeds' sole try, converted by Henry Paul, came from Ceiron Thomas in the 40th minute and the Welshman also added a penalty which was scant consolation for a brave performance by the visitors. They stay rooted to the foot of the Premiership table.
Geraghty, who missed an eighth-minute penalty, made amends 11 minutes later by breezing over down the right after receiving a pass from Lee Dickson, following sustained home pressure on Leeds' line.
The No. 10 hit the post with his conversion but converted a try made by himself - with a deft grubber kick - and finished off by the rampaging Clarke after some soft hands by Chris Mayor, the recipient of Geraghty's kick. It was the first of three tries in a five-minute spell that blew Leeds away, as Northampton secured the bonus point after just 32 minutes.
The third touchdown arrived after more good work by Geraghty, who under pressure lofted a left-footed kick to the left corner for Clarke to collect and ground for his fourth try this season. And the fourth was a superb team try, with Ben Foden, Bruce Reihana, Chris Mayor and Ashton combining for the latter to canter under the sticks.
Thomas reduced the deficit on the stroke of half-time when he arrived on the shoulder of Jonny Hepworth to go over for a scored converted by Paul, who had earlier taken over kicking duties from the Welshman.
A resilient Worcester denied Sale in a tight 24-18 win at Sixways on Saturday with individual tries from wingers Marcel Garvey and Miles Benjamin and the boot of Willie Walker proving decisive.
Worcester hit Sale hard in the opening minutes of each half and used Walker's kicking - three penalties, a drop goal and a conversion - to build a handy lead.A brilliant try from England centre Mathew Tait, who had an outstanding game, caused Worcester some late anxiety but Sale only secured the losing bonus point through a last-minute drop goal from Lee Thomas and a missed penalty by Walker with the very last kick of the game.
Worcester crossed the tryline as early as the ninth minute as off an attacking scrum Garvey beat off a weak challenge from Chris Bell and darted between two more defenders for a superb individual score. Chris Bell scored Sale's first try in the 17th minute, after James Gaskell gathered Nicholas Macleod's deft flick-pass and drew the cover defence to put Bell away.
Worcester began the second-half as they had the first with Netani Talei and captain Pat Sanderson opening up Sale's defence with storming runs and Benjamin applying the finish with an arcing break through more flimsy tackling.
Tait decided not to trust those around him and jinked through for a brilliant try under the posts after he collected a pass from Cueto. That wasn't enough though as Walker kicked the penalty to put the Warriors out of Sale's reach.
Nick Evans landed a late penalty to earn Harlequins a 17-17 draw with Newcastle Falcons at Kingston Park on Friday night.
The result ended Quins' run of three successive Premiership defeats and incredibly was the third time in four outings that the Falcons have had to settle for a share of the spoils.
Evans had opened the scoring with a three-pointer five minutes in but Newcastle quickly took stranglehold on the game, thanks to converted tries from Tane Tu'ipulotu and Tim Swinson.
Micky Young was involved in both scores, putting Tu'ipulotu over in the eighth minute after a terrific run from Falcons wing Charlie Amesbury had taken the hosts deep into Quins territory. In the 22nd minute, Young again came to fore, taking his side to within touching distance of the whitewash before Swinson burrowed his way over.
The fit-again Jimmy Gopperth converted both touchdowns and the visitors went in 14-3 ahead at the interval. However, Quins made a stirring start to the second half, with Evans slotting over his second penalty of the game before Ugo Monye raced through to score in the corner in the 46th minute.
Gopperth responded with a penalty to put six points between the sides with just over 24 minutes remaining but Evans landed a penalty in the 66th minute and then struck again with just five minutes to go after Rob Vickers had been sent to the sin bin to level matters at 17 points apiece.
The former All Black then had a late chance to clinch what would have been Quins' first win of the season but his drop goal attempt drifted wide.

Over the years, we've seen many characters or ideas from "Saturday Night Live" get transferred from the big screen. And many of those films have been royal stinkers, despite the fact that many have been hits. So, it's not uncommon for a TV character to make the leap to the silver screen, but it's a challenge to make a good movie in this genre. But, Jamie Kennedy has been able to take his Brad Gluckman character from his TV show "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment" and on his first try, make a silly, but solid film.
Malibu's Most Wanted tells the story of Brad Gluckman (Jamie Kennedy), who calls himself B-rad, is a spoiled, rich white guy from Malibu who loves rap music and sees himself as a playa and potential rap star. His father, Bill Gluckman (Ryan O'Neal) is running for governor, and his campaign manager, Tom Gibbons (Blair Underwood),fears that Brad's bizarre hi-jinks will cost Bill the election. So, Tom hatches a plan. He will have two actors, Sean (Taye Diggs) and PJ (Anthony Anderson) pretend to carjack Brad and take him to the "'Hood" to show him what the gangsta lifestyle is really like. In short, Tom's plan is the scare Brad into being white.
So, Brad is kidnapped and taken to the home of PJ's cousin, Shondra (Regina Hall), where he is subjected to the true world of rappers and playas, and learns that this culture is for rizzle. But, will this dose of reality "cure" B-rad, or will it only feed his delusions?
Reviewing comedies like Malibu's Most Wanted is never easy, because stupid comedies only appeal to a certain part of the viewing audience. (And many critics feel that they can't stoop to praising a dumb film.) At first glance, Malibu's Most Wanted has one strike against it for having an unoriginal plot. The story borrows liberally from Black Sheep (the annoying relative who is jeopardizing a gubernatorial campaign) and CB4 (the nice boy from an upscale neighborhood who wants to be a gansta rapper). But, unlike those two films, Malibu's Most Wanted takes the comedy to a new level of parody and cartoonishness.
The fact that there are people like B-rad out there aside, Malibu's Most Wanted works because, after the first act, it leaves reality behind and becomes a ludicrous romp. As B-rad becomes more immersed in the gansta culture, the comedy become more broad, and enables the film to spoof more serious films which have focused on urban culture. B-rad is forced into many crazy situations and even hallucinates about talking rats. As with many recent comedies, Malibu's Most Wanted mixes low-brow humor with more quick-witted one-liners (listen for B-rad's request when he's onstage), making a seemingly "dumb" comedy accessible to many audiences. And the movie doesn't play favorites with its targets, as it makes fun of black and white culture. Jamie Kennedy carries the film as B-rad, and turns in a very convincing performance as a very confused young man. But, it's Taye Diggs and Anthony Anderson who steal the movie, playing too uptight actors who do their very best to act tough. Their scenes are hilarious and give the movie the extra boost that it needs. The ideas in Malibu's Most Wanted may not be very original, but the film is very well executed, and most importantly, it's funny.
Malibu's Most Wanted has been captured on DVD by Warner Home Video. The film has been letterboxed at 2.35:1 and the transfer is enhanced for 16 x 9 TVs. This is a very good transfer, although it does have a few problems. For the most part, the image is very sharp and clear, showing only trace amounts of grain. But, there are a few daytime scenes which looked too bright, making the colors appear faded. Those few moments aside, the color palette in the film is a nice mixture of darks and pastels, and they look great here. There are some subtle moments of artifacting and edge-enhancement, but nothing major. Those overly-bright scenes aside, this is a nice transfer.
After viewing Malibu's Most Wanted, my subwoofer walked over to me and said, "Mike, can we watch that again?" The DVD's Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track contains an incredible amount of bass, delivered by the film's rap soundtrack, and should leave your sub begging for more as well. Along with that LFE feast, we have clear and audible dialogue and no indication of hissing or distortion. The surround sound effects are plentiful, not only during the musical cues, but during crowd scenes and the shoot-out as well. This is one of the better soundtracks that I've heard lately.
The Malibu's Most Wanted DVD contains a few extras, which are oddly arranged. This is a 2-sided disc. On Side A, we have the film, which is accompanied by an audio commentary, featuring director John Whitesell, star Jamie Kennedy, writers Fax Bahr & Adam Small, and stars Anthony Anderson & Regina Hall. This track has been edited together from three separate sessions (Whitesell & Kennedy, Bahr & Small, and Anderson & Hall). Although this kind of shuffling back and forth destroys any sort of spontaneity, the speakers involved in this commentary do offer a wealth of information, as they discuss shooting locations, the origins of B-rad, and the film's production. Side A also contains selected cast & crew filmographies.
Side B contains 11 deleted scenes, which can be viewed with or without commentary from Whitesell, Kennedy, Anderson, & Hall. These scenes total 22 minutes, and most of them are brief and inconsequential. But, the extended version of B-rad's dream sequence is definitely worth seeing, simply for the cameo. This side of the disc also has the original theatrical trailer, which has been letterboxed at 2.35:1.
There are probably plenty of people out there who fear that they won't like Malibu's Most Wanted because they don't like/don't know anything about rap music. While a knowledge of rap will certainly add to the film, anyone who has been to a mall and seen kids like B-rad will get a kick out of the film. Don't expect any serious comments on society or race, but the movie is funny. For rizzle.

Forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad are using sexual violence against men, women and children in detention and during raids in opposition strongholds, Human Rights Watch said in a report on Friday.
ISTANBUL - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sparked a strong response from women's rights activists after calling for legislation to restrict women's access to the procedure. The future of abortion is now in question in Turkey.
Hundreds of women protesters demonstrated outside the Istanbul office of Prime Minister Erdogan. The protest followed his strong attack on abortion at a congress of his party in a football stadium in Istanbul Sunday.
Yesterday, approximately a month after the documentary Saving Face won an Oscar for best short film, a victim of an acid attack, Fakhra Yunus committed suicide. Saving Face explored acid attacks, and how they affect women across the world, including in Pakistan.
Kuwaiti police has launched an investigation into the attempted suicide of an 18-year old Egyptian girl who threw herself off the balcony of an apartment building to avoid a forced marriage.
She survived the fall but suffered multiple fractures.
While recovering at a hospital, the girl told the police that her mother and brother had unexpectedly introduced her to a man and told her that she was his wife and should start "spousal relations" according to a report in Kuwait's al Rai newspaper.
RABAT (Reuters) - Morocco on Thursday said it would amend a law allowing rapists to marry their underage female victims after the suicide of a teenage girl raised doubts about the effectiveness of reforms to women's rights in the country.
Sixteen-year-old Amina El-Filali killed herself last week near the northern city of Larache by swallowing rat poison after a six-month forced marriage to the man who raped her.
Local human rights activists say the law violates women's rights and was created to avoid damage to the reputation of the victim's family.
RABAT, Morocco -- The case of a 16-year-old girl who killed herself after she was forced to marry her rapist has spurred outrage among Morocco's internet activists and calls for changes to the country's laws.
An online petition, a Facebook page and countless tweets expressed horror over the suicide of Amina Filali, who swallowed rat poison on Saturday to protest her marriage to the man who raped her a year earlier.
CAIRO // A university professor committed suicide last month in 6th October City on the outskirts of Cairo because she reached 40 without being married, local media reported.
With the continuing violence in nearby Mosul and Diyala province, war surgery is in great demand. So too is the burns unit. The chief nurse, Ahmed Mohammad, has done the tour of the women's intensive care unit many times before. "This is ICU burns," he said. "We have four patients here."

Maczko, Orendas/Arendacs
Expand Messages
- Dear Listmembers,
I have a problem which I hope can be solved with your advice.
I have hit a brick wall in attempting to determine the natal villages
of my ggf, John Maczko b 12.24.1878 and my ggm, Mary
Orendas/Arendacs, b.03.13.1883(approx). Information on the death
certificate of their eldest child, Emil b.1900 d.1901, indicates that
he was from Saros(county, I assume) and she from Eperjies(modern day
Presov, district I assume). We know that they were married somewhere
between 1898 and 1900, but we do not have an exact date. I contacted
St. Mary's Assumption Roman Catholic Slovak Church in Passaic NJ this
morning, where they were married, for information, on the advice of a
genealogist friend and while I got a very nice, though busy,
reception from the church secretary, she agreed to try and look up
the information. I did expect this; I do have an uncle in the area,
but he is inexperienced and I hesitate to urge him to do the lookup.
I live in New Hampshire and am unable to get down to NJ until next
October. My problem is that when I called the church later to check
on the secretary's progress, I got a very nasty reception from the
Monsignor that's left a bad taste in my mouth. So, can anyone tell me
how else I can track down the original villages? Through the good
help of Steve Osifchin at tccweb. org, I have the 1910, 1920 and 1930
censuses, but no villages are listed, and I am at an impasse! I thank
you all in advance for whatever help you can give-
Your message has been successfully submitted and would be delivered to recipients shortly.

With an eye toward business travelers, Southwest Airlines Co. today is unveiling the first major update to its Rapid Rewards program since the airline launched the frequent-flier benefits nearly 24 years ago.
The changes sweeten the rewards for people who pay more for tickets, since the points earned are directly linked to the ticket price. People who buy full-fare tickets will earn more points per dollar than those flying on advance-purchase fares.
But people who were used to flying a lot of short hops to get a free ticket may not like it so much.
The changes seek to take away the reasons that potential customers pledged allegiance to the loyalty programs of other airlines rather than Southwest's.
"We just know that relative to the size of airline we are, we ought to be garnering more frequent fliers," Southwest official Ryan Green said Wednesday.
"We think there were structural things about the old program that kept us from getting our fair share. Part of the impetus in designing this new program was to remove some of those barriers so we can get our fair share," said Green, Southwest's senior director of loyalty and partnerships.
Southwest chairman and chief executive Gary Kelly said Southwest invested close to $100 million over the past five years to develop its revamped program. But he said it should bring in "several hundred million dollars" in extra revenue a year, by attracting new customers and persuading existing ones to pay more for a ticket.
"If we got our fair share of the frequent-flier market, that number is gigantic," Kelly said. "I'd be embarrassed to tell you how big it is. It's just gigantic. The opportunity is huge. How fast it will come along, I don't know."
Kelly, Green and others outlined what customers told them they don't like about the program and what Southwest is doing, effective March 1, to answer them:
•Old: Free travel was limited to the cities served by Southwest. New: Points can be used to buy airline tickets and pay for other travel costs in Hawaii, Alaska and international destinations, through Maritz Travel.
•Old: Credits in the program expired 24 months after they were earned. New: Rapid Rewards points will never expire, as long as the member has some activity during the previous 24 months.
•Old: The airline automatically issued a ticket for a free flight once it was earned, whether the passenger wanted it then. New : The airline will issue the ticket when the member requests.
•Old: Passengers earned a single credit per flight, whether the trip went 182 miles from Dallas to Austin on a $49 "Wanna Get Away" ticket or 1,990 miles from Baltimore to Phoenix on a $459 "Business Select" ticket. New: The points earned go up as the price of the ticket goes up, with bonuses for full-fare tickets and elite status fliers.
•Old: Passengers got one free ticket for every 16 credits, regardless of how much they paid or the length of their flights. New : The points needed are directly tied to the price of the free ticket being acquired.
Kelly and other airline executives said Wednesday that the system needed to be changed so the Dallas-based carrier could attract more business travelers paying higher fares on longer trips.
In 1987, when Southwest began Rapid Rewards, the airline was a short-haul, regional carrier, Kelly said. The average Southwest passenger traveled 577 miles each way.
"The earn-and-burn ratio was off because it was all designed when we had one-hour trips," he said.
By comparison, the carrier's passengers this year are averaging 883 miles a trip, an increase of more than 50 percent in trip length. Kelly said business travelers who fly on transcontinental routes, for example, "are not earning enough compared to what they could get on another airline."
Green declined to reveal the size of the Rapid Rewards membership. But he noted that Southwest carries more domestic passengers than any other airline, including American Airlines Inc., which had 64 million members in its frequent-flier program at the end of 2009, and United Airlines Inc., which had more than 56 million members.
"We don't have that many," Green said. "Half is probably a good estimate."

Pacific Gas and Electric Company reminds customers of ways to stay safe and keep energy bills down in anticipation of significant heat and increased fire danger beginning Wednesday and lasting through the weekend.
Safety tips
• When temperatures are unusually high, you can visit PG&E-supported Cooling Centers to escape the heat, free of charge. For information on Cooling Centers, or to find out if there is one in your neighborhood, contact your local city or county.
• If your neighborhood does not have a Cooling Center, plan trips to public places with air conditioning such as libraries, movie theaters or shopping malls.
• "Look Up and Live!" — Use caution and keep fireworks, balloons, kites and toys (such as high powered water guns or remote control aircraft) away from overhead electric lines. Contact with lines can lead to serious injury, fires and outages.
• Never go near a power line that has fallen to the ground, is dangling in the air or appears to be damaged. Always assume downed electric lines are energized and dangerous. Stay away, keep others away and immediately call 911 to alert the police and fire departments.
• Be sure smoke alarms are installed throughout your home.
• If your smoke alarms run on batteries, or have battery back-up power, replace batteries at least once per year. If the low battery warning beeps, replace the battery immediately. All smoke alarms in your house should be tested once a month using the alarm test button.
Conservation tips
• Set your air conditioner thermostat to 78 degrees or higher when you're at home, health permitting, and 85 degrees when you're away.
• Setting your AC thermostat 5 degrees higher will save about 10 percent on cooling costs.
• Shut windows and draw the shades to keep in pre-cooled air from the night and early morning.
Have your central cooling duct system checked for leaks. Up to 20 percent of cooled air can be lost through leaky or poorly insulated ducts.
• Buy an Energy Star® air conditioner if your air conditioner is ready to be replaced. It can reduce energy usage by up to 10 percent.
• Avoid using an electric oven on hot days. Instead, cook on the stove, use a microwave oven, or grill outside.
In addition to conservation, utilities depend on "demand response" programs to keep the grid stable during summer months. Demand response programs are voluntary and allow enrolled customers to receive an incentive for reducing their energy use during peak demand times, like weekday afternoons.
SmartAC is an optional program in which PG&E installs a free device to your central air conditioning unit that allows it to produce cool air for 15 minutes and cycle the already cool air the next 15 minutes for no more than six hours, thereby saving energy. Participating customers receive a reward check four to six weeks after the SmartAC device is installed.
SmartRate is a voluntary summer pricing plan that lowers customers' electric rates from June through September in exchange for customers agreeing to a higher rate from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. on 15 high-temperature days each summer. As an added incentive, customers who enroll by the end of August and stay enrolled through Oct. 31, 2012, will receive a $25 reward in the form of a Visa debit card mailed to them.
Customers can contact PG&E at 1-800-743-5000 to learn whether these demand-response programs are right for them.

Christine Sinclair's goal ended the Germans enviable World Cup record
The German women's team looked like it was coasting to a win led by an exciting new generation of multi-ethnic players just like their male counterparts. The names of Celia Okoyino Da Mbabi and Fatmire Bajramaj will no doubt become familiar to thousands as the World Cup goes on.
The match adhered to script as the lanky Kristen Garefekes took advantage of a terrible mix up that left Canadian goalie Erin McLeod stranded in no woman's land to head home the first goal in the 10th minute. They doubled the lead as Mbabi raced ahead beating the offside trap and finished coolly to send Germany into halftime salivating at the prospects of a blowout.
Coach Silvia Nied had not even trotted out her shiny new toys in Alexandra Popp and Bajmarj. Birgit Prinz already a legend had a laboured first half and was subbed off to a standing ovation. Meanwhile Canada was left to rue a 6th minute Christine Sinclair miss that would have narrowed the gap.
Popp came on in the second half and served notice that she is Prinz's heir apparent and minutes later the stadium erupted to the arrival of Bajmarj, a refugee by the way of Kosovo who battled her father's ambitions for her as a ballet dancer to don soccer cleats. With prolific goalscorer Inka Grings also in the midst, it felt natural to wonder how many more goals would Canada bleed?
Germany came close but were not able to add to the tally with Garefekes the goal at her mercy missing a point blank chance. At the other end the outclassed Canadians looked for a sign, any sign for a chance to turn things around. That opportunity presented itself when Simone Laudehr fouled Sophie Schmidt just outside Germany's box. This was a golden moment for Sinclair to step up and the Canadian captain a picture of intense concentration pulled of a Beckhamesque free kick. It was a great piece of skill which left Nadine Angerer at goal with no chance. This was the first goal conceded by Germany in a World Cup since the 2003 finals against Sweden. Game on and Germany were looking a bit ragged.
The crowd was on edge and referee Jacqui Melksham came for some protracted booing for giving the Canadians the benefit of the doubt on a couple of tackles. The Canadians went short on a corner pulling Sinclair and Matheson to the right as they recycled the ball and then sent it long for Emily Zurrer to almost pull of a miraculous equalizer.
Germany get their three points but the enterprising Canadians made it interesting and with goal differential a potential factor in the group stage this goal could be huge. The more salient question is when are they going to riot? And do we get another couple for love in the time of cholera.

Perham pyrotechnic lights up the skies for the 4th of July
For the last 22 years, Perham business owner Steve Richter has had an explosive pastime. As a certified pyrotechnic shooter, he's been the guy behind the scenes at city fireworks displays.
The first fireworks show Richter helped with was in 1990 at the all school reunion in New York Mills. Since then, he's helped with at least five shows a year, all around the area.
In 1996, the state of Minnesota passed a law requiring that fireworks fuses be lit only by certified technicians. This was when business kicked off for Richter, as fire departments could no longer legally do their own shows.
In an interview on Monday, Richter explained the process of putting on a show. To start, all the fireworks are set up beforehand according to size. This way, the shooter can move up and down the rows of mortars, and mix and match the smaller and bigger fireworks throughout the show.
In the world of fireworks, the bigger the bomb, the higher in the air it flies before exploding. 'Cakes' stay closest to the ground but are packed with a variety of fireworks. Shows around here consist of a lot of three-inch bombs, and some fours, fives and sixes, Richter said.
With a small flare in his hand, Richter, along with other members of the team, works in a rhythm. The team lights a bunch of three-inch shells, mixes in a couple of fours, fives and sixes, throws in a cake or two and continues that rhythm throughout a show.
And then, of course, they explode 100 or so at once for the grand finale.
"Its a lot of malarkey up in the sky for about 20 seconds," Richter explained.
Though electronic boards are used in some cities, shooters around here still do everything manually: "We can do just as much" that way, Richter said.
He emphasized that the shooter has to be ready for anything and everything. He estimates that one out of 300 shells doesn't perform as expected. It's a pretty low percentage, but shooters have to be prepared for duds or shells that explode too early or too close to the ground.
"It doesn't matter how many years of experience (shooters have), stuff happens," Richter said. And they have to be prepared.
Though most shows last less than 20 minutes, the prep time takes six times as long. For Fourth of July shows in Perham and New York Mills, the work begins three hours before dusk, as the traditional holiday baseball games are just beginning.
Richter and some of his helpers (Bert Nelson, Brian Selander and Terrance Nelson) take all the necessary safety precautions and do all the prep work to put on a good show.
Richter said sometimes people want to come and visit the shooters as they're setting up, but this isn't something that should be done - they are dealing with explosives and caution needs to be high.
The shooters watch the weather, check wind direction and pace out where the crowd should stand.
Then, as the game comes to an end and the lights go out on the field, Richter and his crew begin the magical tradition of fireworks.
Richter said the length of the fireworks shows do not change with higher budgets. Instead, the quality of the shells change - meaning there are more of the big ones.
Looking back over the last two decades, Richter said, "I'm hoping this is my last year. That's my intention. It's probably time to turn the door handle and let the young guys do it."
July 3: New York Mills, Russ Jacobson Field
July 4: Perham, Tuffy Stadium at Krueger Field
July 6: Little McDonald Lake
*In case of rain, shows are rescheduled for the next day.

POLICE say it would be "foolish" not to believe a spate of deliberately lit fires across the southern suburbs last night are not linked.
Investigations are continuing into a dozen fires that were lit between 12.30am and 3am this morning as police work to determine if it is one person or several behind the arson attacks.
"We've identified 12 (fires), there may well be other fires that we are not aware of," Superintendent Paul Bahr said.
"Several fires have been lit in close proximity of each other..... it would be foolish to suggest that they are not linked.
"I don't want discount that it could be one person, at the same time I don't want to discount it could be more than one person..... we have to keep an open mind."
A large contingent of firefighters were called in to fight one of blazes at Onkaparinga Hills, which was just 50m from Marianne Burke's home where she said she woke to a "wall of flames" about 3am.
"That was really scary to wake up to," Mrs Burke said.
"We just panicked and put all the roller shutters down and watched it."
Mrs Burke said it was concerning the fire had been deemed suspicious.
"It's scary but it's not surprising because we've had people light fires around here before," she said.
"It's an accessible area and it would be easy for someone to throw a match and drive off."
The fire burnt 4ha of scrubland and before it was contained.
Onkaparinga Hills resident and councillor Steve Webster said he thought there could be a connection to the spate of fires in late 2012.
"From the reports I have heard there is someone going around the city (lighting fires) so someone has got a beef,'' Mr Webster, said.
"It is important that neighbours are looking out for neighbours and that is the good thing about our community.
"I would like to see a ramp-up of Neighbourhood Watch in the area and a community meeting with police and the CFS would be a positive move.''
The first grass fire was called in by residents about 12.50am in Seaford Rise, near the waste depot, forcing emergency crews to close Bakewell Drive until they were able to extinguish the flames.
In the following three hours, crews responded to about 10 fires in McLaren Flat, Christies Beach, Onkaparinga Hills, Noarlunga and Morphett Vale.
A shed and machinery were destroyed by fire on a McLaren Flat property.
Onkaparinga mayor Lorraine Rosenberg said the southern suburbs had until today been relatively fire free over the dry and hot summer period.
"Then in just one night you get a spate of fires,'' Ms Rosenberg said.
"I think if the people doing this are seriously trying to do harm to the community they have got a criminal mind.
"And if they are trying to just cause nuisance value then they have absolutely no understanding of mother nature and what happens when a fire takes hold in these extraordinary dry conditions.''
The fires are the latest in a series of suspicious incidents.
Last week 40 firefighters attended a paddock fire at Hallett Cove, which burnt up to 12 hectares.
The grass fire last Wednesday at Perry Barr Rd took three hours to be extinguished by crews from the CFS and MFS.
The fires came amid blistering heat, with temperatures in the 40s.
All of the fires - in areas ranging from Onkaparinga Hills, Morphett Vale and Hackham - were deliberately lit.
The fires were started in targets such as rubbish, grass, bins and sheds.
The incidents last week were:
• A council bin at bus stop 58 on Doctors Rd, Hackham, was set alight at 12.20am on Tuesday.
• At 9.30am on Wednesday 4 sq m of grass on council land along a bike track in Ellis Ave, Morphett Vale, was burnt.
• Rubbish in the front yard of a house in Stirling Dr, Morphett Vale, was set alight about 12.10am on Wednesday.
• About 9pm last Wednesday, a vehicle drove away from States Rd, Onkaparinga Hills. The grass verge then immediately caught alight.
• Overnight on Wednesday, papers at the rear of a medical practice on Doctors Rd, Morphett Vale, were set alight.
• At about 1.30am on Friday a fire started in a carport in Argyle Ave, Morphett Vale, and spread to a neighbour's fence.
Investigators are seeking information from the public to help identify any suspects.

Chris O'Dowd to write 'Moone Boy' books
Comedian Chris O'Dowd is set to write two children's books based on his hit Sky One show 'Moone Boy'.
Mr O'Dowd, alongside co-creator, Nick Vincent Murphy, has signed a publishing deal to write the books, with the first one due out next Autumn.
The show, very loosely-based on Mr O'Dowd's own childhood, follows the story of a young boy in rural Ireland, his imaginary friend and his dysfunctional family. The third season will air next year.
"Throughout the first three series of Moone Boy, it's often occurred to us that there's so much more we could do with the world of the imaginary friends, but the hassle of having to film things with our big clumsy cameras made it tricky to delve too much into it in the show," he said.
""However, this feels like the perfect world in which to explore novels for a younger audience, with plenty of opportunities for fun doodles and illustrations by Cartoon Saloon. There will be lots of jokes and we hope that parents will want to steal the books from their children to read them too."
Last month the show was awarded an International Emmy for comedy. The show faced competition from South Africa's 'Late Nite News with Loyiso Gola', France's 'Workingirls' and Brazil's 'How to Enjoy the End of the World'.

The Mystery Of Mel's Hole?
March 5, 2013 in Weird News
Somewhere in the wilds of Washington State is a bizarre geographic anomaly that locals believe may well be a gateway into another dimension. While the legend of the Devil's Hole allegedly goes back for decades… if not centuries… the public at large did not become aware of the phenomenon until 1997, when legendary radio host and paranormal enthusiast, Art Bell, invited a man named Mel Waters to be interviewed on his globally syndicated radio program Coast to Coast AM.
Mel Waters is a captivating character who claimed to be the owner of an unusual piece of property located near Manastash Ridge, Washington. The property, which is adjacent to the Yakima Firing Range near the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, was, in and of itself, nothing special, but situated on an isolated portion of the acreage is a geological irregularity — a hole to be specific — that was said to bear strange and arcane attributes that could only be found at one other place on Earth.
For decades residents from the Manastash Ridge region have talked about one of the most unusual aspects of the sprawling landscape that haloed their hometown. Hidden nearby, on a densely forested parcel of private property, was a seemingly bottomless well that was surrounded by an aura of mystery and danger.
This unfathomably deep pit was said to be about 9-feet in diameter and was shored up with hand placed bricks to a depth of nearly 15-feet until it gave way to earthen walls. The hole had been known to locals for generations — and to Native Americans before them — and had been used as an unofficial dumping ground for everything from defunct refrigerators to old tires and television tubes to livestock and pet carcasses.
What disturbed those who utilized this illegal dumping ground most was the fact that no matter how heavy the object being discarded may have been, those that tossed it into the void never heard it hit bottom. This led some of the more supernaturally inclined in the region to dub the place the "Devil's Hole," and rumors quickly spread that this never-ending crater tunneled a direct trajectory to Hades, making it, in effect, a highway to hell.
In September of 2008, an inter-tribal medicine man by the moniker of Red Elk — who's legal name is Gerald Osborne — appeared on a radio show and claimed to have visited the enigmatic hole with his father as a young boy in 1961. According to Red Elk, the hole was well known to the indigenous peoples, as well as local and federal authorities, and was believed to be an unbelievable 24 and 28-miles deep.
The medicine man also speculated that pit served as a tunnel which connected to Mt. Rainier and that it might be associated with both UFOs and vile, quasi-reptilian entities that allegedly dwell deep within the bowls of the Earth known as "reptoids."

For the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, a run-of-the-mill portrait studio shot just won't do!
Instead, 1-year-old North West makes her debut as a model in the upcoming issue of CR Fashion Book, a guide to high-fashion style that is run by the former editor of Vogue Paris.
The fashion-forward tot makes her debut in a slick, black-and-white photo, shot by the grandson of legendary fashion photographer, Richard Avedon. Rather than looking straight-forward at the camera and smiling, little North shows off her cute profile while looking into the distance (totally highlights her gorgeous curls and sparkly eyes!).
She's showing off a flower brooch and quilted handbag, both by Chanel, and a famous quote from Karl Lagerfeld, the head of haute-couture label, Chanel, and its creative director, accompanies the photo: "It's never too early to care about fashion."
It's OK to envy a toddler's wardrobe, right?
According to CR Fashion Book, North is the youngest person that they have featured in the magazine. She appears in a section entitled "Legends" that "celebrates the unconventional side of fashion icon status."
The style makers also predict that she already is on course to a "bright fashion future." Her iconic status in the fashion world at this tender age is courtesy of her chic parents, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
Kardashian, who appeared on the cover of CR Fashion Book while pregnant with North, is known for taking fashion risks, while Kanye has designed his own fashion lines. And the entire family appeared in the pages of American Vogue not too long ago, so it's really no surprise that North is already following in her parents' (and her aunt Kendall's) footsteps.
And you have to admit, she's pretty darn cute. Kardashian recently posted a photo of North and Kanye in his music studio that proves the photogenic tot is equally adorable and in both posted and candid photos!
What kinds of stylish photo shoots have your kiddos done? Share below in the comments section!
