Escaped carjack suspect found hiding under matress in Redford house
REDFORD Twp. Mich. (WJBK) - An escaped parolee is back behind bars after more than 24 hours on the run.
At 10 p.m. Wednesday parole absconder Rowvontae Tarrell Walker was apprehended and taken into custody after he was found inside a home on Dalby Street in Redford Township.
Officials are still investigating but they believe Walker's friends were inside the house and those people could face charges.
"Acting on intelligence after interviewing family and friends that he might be at one of two locations in Redford," said Holly Kramer of the Michigan Department of Corrections. "We sent teams to both and found him hiding under a mattress."
On Wednesday, 19-year-old Walker got away from the Lawton parole office in Detroit where he was being questioned about a carjacking.
"He was sitting at an agent's desk and when he was distracted, he walked out the door," Kramer said. "We are reviewing our policies to see if changes need to be made so this doesn't happen again."
As Walker got away on foot, search teams were activated and a manhunt got underway.
"We had a team of 40 law enforcement officers looking for him interviewing people he knows trying to track him down," Kramer said.
Walker is not a stranger to police, he was locked up in 2013 after he was sentenced for an unarmed robbery in Detroit.
His parole started in the fall of last year.
Now officials say Walker is being held at the Detroit Reentry Center and more charges could come after this case is turned over to the prosecutor's office.

FAO plans anti-food waste drive in Asia
Announcing the campaign, Hiroyuki Konuma, Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) director general and regional representative for Asia-Pacific, said the 'Save Food Asia-Pacific Campaign' would raise awareness about the high levels of food waste.
While focus will mainly be given to post-harvest food losses, market-to-consumer food waste will also be targeted.
Konuma said: "The FAO estimates that if the food wasted or lost globally could be reduced by just one quarter, this would be sufficient to feed the 870m people suffering from chronic hunger in the world."
The launch of the campaign took place at a recent two-day consultation on food losses, which was attended by 130 people from 20 countries. The consultation aims to look at ways to reduce food loss and waste, which will issue a guidance action on how to save food from farm to table.
Konuma claimed that the world produces enough food meet the demand from its 7bn population, but said 868m people (12.5%) were going hungry every day, citing Asia-Pacific as one of the most afflicted regions. "In 2012, the Asia-Pacific region was home to 536 million hungry people, or 62% of the world's undernourished."
Yet Konuma also noted that a recent flux in economic growth in the region this century had not helped, and said hunger and poverty were still an issue "because the benefits of economic growth were unevenly distributed".
Also speaking at the food loss consultation, Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister and minister of agriculture and cooperatives Yukol Limlamthong said the region needed to raise global awareness on the critical issue of food loss.
"The government of Thailand is deeply committed to working with FAO and with other partners and stakeholders in the region to promote the security of the region and also of the world," Limlamthong added.
Meanwhile, the Indian geneticist Mankombu Sambasivan Swaminathan explained that food waste, as well as being a waste of nourishment, was a waste of natural resources, like land and water. He said: "To a great extent, food losses and waste are symbolic of the inefficiencies of food systems. [This is] why food losses and waste are becoming so central to discussions on both food security and sustainable development."
The FAO's 'Save Food Campaign Asia-Pacific' is an ongoing campaign and aims to teach consumers to have more respect for food and to stop wasting precious commodities.

No silly antics here.
A typical advertisement for a personal lubricant often features couples alluding to sexual acts in various exaggerated scenarios, like on the counter at the pharmacy or in the middle of a busy restaurant. Gun Oil, a brand of sexual wellness products for men, decided to skip the antics and provide a touching storyline of patient, lasting love in their latest Valentine's Day commercial.
As the voice over takes you through the lonely day of this poor guy, you have to assume he's experienced a recent heartbreak, which has sent him to in a daily routine of depression, bed moping, and house wandering. Without giving away any spoilers, the sexy hunk gets a romantic surprise from porn star Dominic Pacifico, who plays his husband.
The commercial is only a minute long, but the lube still managed to tell a more compelling love story than all four Twilight books put together. Check out the heartwarming Valentine's Day ad here.

There have been quite a few MMOs who have thought themselves to be WoW-breakers and all have fallen by the wayside. I'm thinking of Age of Conan and Aion in particular. While they delivered at the start, the games didn't appear to have the same longevity and, while they have kept a loyal player base, a lot of people have either lost interest or gone back to games they played previously.
After playing Rift to level 16 on a character, I don't think this game is ready to steal WoW's crown, but it is very good, for various reasons, and has the potential to 'stick' if enough people play it and decide to keep with it. I think it's unrealistic to expect any new MMO to throw itself onto the scene fully polished - like with some TV shows, it takes a couple of seasons for things to shine. But this is a good start, and some of the features already in place bode well for the future.
The one thing I particularly like, and which differentiates Rift from many other games of its type, is that from the moment your first character gets out of their starting area you can join in with huge public raids. All you need to do to join them is to be passing through an area where a bad rift has opened up and various unsavoury entities are spilling out of it. There are various kinds, such as life, fire, water. Once you draw close you get the message onscreen to join the raid if you wish to. You don't have to. But it is fun! I think it's a great feature that players are involved in exciting stuff from the start, and it's not just a case of 'kill this many wolves' or 'collect that many fangs' until you reach a level where the game gets more interesting. That is one of the drawbacks of many MMOs. You can choose to ignore the rifts if you prefer to carry on questing or farming, but everyone who takes part in such raids gets a bag of loot in their inventory. These include items that can be cashed in for blue level pieces of gear and other enhancements, appropriate for your level. There are also daily quests to participate in rift fights, which mean xp and gold when you cash them in. It really is no hassle if you're on your way to a quest and pass by a rift where people are fighting. Might as well join in for a few minutes and share the spoils.
The Story
The Official blurb:
Rift is set on Telara, a fantasy world which lies alarmingly close to a variety of other planes of existence. In the final days of the Mathosian civil war, the Ward that protected Telara from planar convergence with these other worlds was severely weakened by a disaster known as the Shade. Since that time, rifts between Telara and other planes have been increasingly devastating the land, and old enemies in the form of monsters, held at bay by elemental prisons have begun actively clawing their way out. Telara's greatest enemy, the god Regulos, pounds against the outside of the Ward, seeking re-entry into Telara to finish the job he once started. Meanwhile, Telara's own pantheon of gods has suddenly grown silent, and the world is descending into total chaos.
The people of Telara are now convinced that the end of the world is at hand. In these desperate final days, two major factions have arisen to battle the coming apocalypse: the Guardians and the Defiant. Though each faction wants to save the world, their beliefs and methods differ, and they war upon each other as often as they do other enemies of Telara.
Character Creation
Character creation has quite a wide scope. I found that the characters I made looked better in the game than they did while I was creating them. They don't have quite the extreme amount of customisation that Aion offered, but far more than WoW does. As for the character classes, the choices are huge. There are two factions, Defiant and Guardians, and within each of those you have a choice of four 'starter' types: mage, warrior, cleric and rogue. These are known as 'callings' and refer to the first choice you make for your character. At first, this appeared limiting until I saw the actual classes available within each calling. Mages include, for example, all manner of magic users; warlocks, necromancers and elementalists, to name but three. The rogue calling encompasses the ranged fighters, with or without pets, the archetypal dagger-wielding, stealthing rogue and also a class that can only be likened to engineering in WoW - the Saboteur who uses bombs, explosives and other such devices. The warrior calling, which I've not yet tried, includes different styles of fighter as well as the more familiar tank. Clerics can be healers, or smiters (even melee), or hybrids. There are 8 different classes (or souls as they are called in the game) for each calling, and in the early stages of the game you are allowed to have 3 of them for a character, which allows for a massive amount of customisation as to how your character performs. As you level up you get points to spend in each 'soul tree', which unlocks skills. I understand that later on, you are able to have even more classes and can change specs 'on the fly' as it were, should you need to swap to a healer, dps or tank role for a specific situation.
Each calling also has pet classes within it. Even the warrior, with the Beast Master class, gets pets to fight alongside them, if that's your choice.
By the time you finish the starter quests, you will have chosen your three classes, and pointers are given to you as to which other classes combine to best effect with the first one you chose.
It can be argued that this multiplicity of choice really over-complicates the game and might well lead to hideous problems with class balancing later on, but at the moment I'm just finding it fun and interesting to play around with the different choices. The potential to spend your soul points unwisely is of course rather large, when you do have so many branches to follow, but you can always respec later on when you know more about the game.
Everyone who plays MMOs hates having to travel on foot. Well, good news here. In Rift, you can ride mounts from level 1. The only restriction is gold. I've found mount vendors in a couple of early locations, with mounts of various speeds suitable for different levels, and quite exotic looking beasts they are too, but they're not cheap. At level 16 I've got over half of what I need to buy my first mount, so I guess it's similar to WoW in that respect. By level 20 a character should be able to ride. And if you stick with the game and roll alts, your main character should easily be able to fund their riding for them. So effectively, you'll only have to trot around on foot until level 20 once.
The other mode of travel is using Porticulums, which are portals found in various towns and cities. These have to be unlocked, so you can't take advantage of them until you've discovered at least two, but it will save a lot of time later on. You can bind a character's soul to a Porticulum, which means you can teleport back to its location wherever you are in the world of Telara. The locations for the soul bind can be changed as you move through the zones, levelling up.
The User Interface
One good thing about most MMOs is that the UIs tend to be pretty much the same, allowing new players to get to grips with a game quickly. Rift is no different there. But a particularly cool feature about this game is that you can customise your UI a great deal. Many players are used to installing 'add ons' written by other players to enhance their favourite games, which at best can be a cumbersome and irksome requirement, since add ons can go out of date and not be updated, or they can interfere with game play by conflicting with other add ons or the game itself. In Rift, there are many options in the UI that you might in other MMOs have to find outside the game. Some options are turned off by default, but you can activate them easily. And if it's your choice you can modify totally the way your interface looks with an editor that's fairly easy to use.
You will need a high spec computer to run the game on 'ultra' video mode. I turned up the graphics settings on my machine just to take a peek at what it could look like, and it was stunning. Just unplayable on my machine, unfortunately.
Game Play and Other Features
Gearing up your character isn't that much of a chore, since the quest lines provide constant gear upgrades. Obviously, when the character is of a level to sample the instanced dungeons more fabulous loots will be on offer, but in the early stages it's great to see significant improvements just by questing.
Quest objectives are fairly easy to find using map features and tracking, and don't require a lot of 'out of the way' travel. And the quests themselves are often quirky and inventive, rather than just killing mobs or collecting items from them.
Like any MMO, Rift encourages people to team up with others and to join or form guilds. As in WoW, a guild can level up and earn perks for its members. At this stage of the game there isn't a feature in place to help players team up easily with random strangers for dungeons, but it's young, and there aren't that many high level players yet. Perhaps that is a feature Trion might consider adding later on. My character is just about at the point where he can enter a dungeon, but although I've heard very good reports about the Rift instances, in terms of appearance and play, I haven't looked inside one myself yet.
Again, another similarity to WoW in Rift is an achievement system, where players can complete tasks to get rewards or titles. This also applies to guilds.
You will find all the things you'd expect to find in a quality MMO: banks, auctions houses, mail boxes, trade skill professions and so on. These don't have to be much different from any other game; they are part of the backbone of a virtual world, and should fit seamlessly, which they do.
On PvE servers, this appears to be confined to Warfronts, which are cross-server battlegrounds that you can enter once your character reaches level 10. There is a choice to join a PvP server when you first start creating your character, so I presume that is like any other game and that PvP takes place in the wider landscape as well as on the Warfronts. PvP players can earn ranks, titles, loot and unique souls to enhance their character for that purpose.
End Game
I guess what everyone really wants to know is what's the end game going to be and will it be worth sticking around for? Although I've not even encountered the early dungeon part of the game yet, there is information around about what's in store for higher levels. Each zone will have a dungeon appropriate for player level within that zone. These are for teams of 5 people. At top level 50, harder dungeons will become available, in both normal and expert modes. It also seems that the harder versions will also be tiered, in that there will be expert tier 1 and after that a more difficult tier 2. After this will come raids, in 10 and 20 person versions. As to which team size you take, that will be entirely your choice.
One thing that has struck me is how virtual worlds have a definite character and feel to them. Rift has a Tim Burtonesque, surreal Alice in Wonderland quality, while others have more of an epic fantasy ambience, or a science fiction theme and the atmosphere within them reflects that. In my opinion, a good MMO should have this palpable sense of place and character. You don't feel a deep sense of history in Rift, but that might be because it is so new. But it certainly has character. I felt the landscapes weren't as awesome as those in WoW, where the environment is an important part of the game. But the cities and towns in Rift are pretty stunning. A lot of the appearance of the game might be down to the fact I can't play it on a very high video setting, and that is an important consideration because not everyone has an ultra top end gaming machine. However, the Rift NPCs are beautifully realised in fantastic costumes, and there is much interplay going on between them if you can be bothered to stand and listen. Some of the creatures I've met while questing are really quite scary looking. They remind me of something from Edward Lear, just bizarre and grotesque things that might be invented to scare kids into behaving themselves! And fairies in the game are right hard little buggers. Not pleasant at all, and spooky to look at. They really do remind me of weird illustrations in some old childhood books that were a bit... off kilter, as it were. Some of them are little flimsy females with wings, yes, but they're deathly pallid, far from pretty, and look eminently squashable, like malevolent butterflies. And they hit hard.
It's difficult to say whether Rift has staying power. You really can't tell until you've played a game for a while. Rift is a subscription game, so does require some financial outlay if you want to give it a decent try of a few months. But it's important to bear in mind that subscription games usually work out far cheaper than so-called free to play MMOs. You don't have to shell out any money at a game store to enhance your game experience; everything you want is in game. At the moment, Trion are offering cheap deals for founder members, obviously to try and encourage people to play. Any game has its work cut out for it to compete with WoW; no one can argue with that whether they are WoW fans or not. Just re-entering Azeroth after Rift made me appreciate how polished it is. But that said, raw edges aside, Rift is probably the best of other MMOs I've given a try. The developers have cribbed from WoW massively, but that just makes it easier to learn. They've tried to give their game its own character and in that I think they've succeeded. But I don't think it's the WoW-breaker. My thought is that the only game that will do that is the next one Blizzard brings out. But Rift is worth a try nonetheless and, who knows, it might well stick and develop into something greater.

Our sessions run quarterly for a 3 month time period. Our first session (Fall Session) starts mid September to mid November. We have a little break then second session (Winter Session) starts early December to early March (there is a long Holiday break during the winter session). Third session (Spring Session) goes from mid March to end of May. Our final fourth session (Summer Session) which tends to be a limited class schedule is beginning of June to early August. To find an exact date to register and start a class check out our calendar. The classes consist of 10-12 practice days for every class you register for. The price point is built on how many days of practice are scheduled for that session and may be differ from session to session. Find the list of our facilities and contact information for pools on out about page.
There are two organizations involved in Montgomery County's diving programs: Montgomery County Recreation Department (MCRD) and the Montgomery Dive Club (MDC). MCRD owns the pools and operates the Active Montgomery registration, which is what you need to use to register for an in water class. MDC is contracted by MCRD to staff and manage the diving programs at their facilities. MDC runs www.montgomerydiveclub.org. Any classes that that involve getting in the pool will require you to register with MCRD.
We offer programs in two broad categories (dryland and in-water), and two broad skill groups (Human Springs and National Team). Each of these broad categories is further divided into developmentally appropriate skill levels based on age and ability. Scroll down for full descriptions of all levels below.
- Human Springs (Levels 1-3)
- High School Springs (Level 3)
- Rusty Springs (Adult Classes)
- AAU National Team (Level 4)
- USA Diving National Team (Levels 4 & 5)
HUMAN SPRINGS Level 1-3
The Human Springs programs are designed for absolute beginner to advanced divers. These classes are either 45 or 90 minutes long, and typically consist of 25% dryland instruction and 75% in-water practice. Participants must be at least six years old, must be comfortable swimming in deep water, and must come to class with a willingness to learn new things. We recommend that participants practice a minimum of two days per week to ensure steady progress. Our customers have found that a combination of dryland and in-water classes brings about the best results. In all Human Springs classes divers learn core diving skills from the 1-meter and 3-meter springboards as well as the lower platforms when available.
- Level One
- Level Two
- Level Three
- Dryland Classes
Level One
Our Level One classes are designed for younger divers, aged 6-9, who lave little or no experience with the sport of diving. These 45-minute classes focus on the fundamental skills of our sport, such as proper body shapes, front and back jumps, and front and back head-first entries. Level One participants use the side of the pool, mats, 1-meter springboard, 3-meter springboard, and low platforms for a variety of skills and drills. Level One divers are encouraged to participate in our Human Springs Competitions held at the end of each session. Below you will find a video describing the skills learned in our Level One classes.
Level Two
Participants in our Level Two classes practice for 90 minutes. Younger kids (6-10) with a background in competitive gymnastics but little diving experience are encouraged to start with Level Two classes. Participants of any age who have not yet learned back dive tuck and inward dive tuck are also well-suited for at least one session in these classes. Level Two participants use the side of the pool, mats, 1-meter springboard, 3-meter springboard, and low platforms for a variety of skills and drills.
Level Three
Participants in our Level Three classes practice for 90 minutes. Younger kids (10 and older) with a background in competitive gymnastics, past diving experience from summer diving or level 2. Divers must have the ability to do all category dives, a hurdle, back press, as well as safe come-out skills. Level Three participants use the side of the pool, mats, 1-meter springboard, 3-meter springboard, and low platforms for a variety of skills and drills. They will be encouraged to compete in our local hosted meets at the end of the sessions.
The MDC Dryland Training Center (DTC) was created in July 2012, and was used by the USA Diving Olympic Team in preparation for the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Today MDC offers classes to all levels of divers in this amazing facility, with access to two dry diving boards, two trampolines, and a variety of tumbling mats and training tools. The facility is designed to allow divers to perform skills quickly and repeatedly, leading to faster learning. We run dryland classes every session, with 60-minute classes for kids 10 & under and 90-minute classes for 11 & older divers. Watch the video below for an idea of what we teach in these classes. Learn more about our dryland classes at our registration page.
HIGH SCHOOL SPRINGS - Level 3
The High School Springs Program has been tailored to meet the needs of High School divers, focusing on developing a competitive diving list from the one-meter springboard. In order to accomplish this, divers will utilize a variety of equipment, including tumbling mats, low platforms, 3-meter springboard and the side of the pool. Whether you are hoping to make the varsity team, want to perfect a list for the Metro Meet, or hoping to qualify for the State Meet, our High School Springs group will help you meet your goals.
Masters Diving (RUSTY SPRINGS) - Adult Class
Our Masters Divers make diving a life-long pursuit. Anyone age 19 and older is encouraged to participate. Rusty Springs train on the 1-meter springboard, 3-meter springboard and platforms. As divers gain sufficient skills, they have the option to train for a variety of competition including our end of session Human Springs Competitions, the Annual John Smith Memorial Meet, various invitationals around the country, and even USA Diving Masters National competitions. We have a terrific group of masters divers at MDC, and we are always happy to have newcomers join us - no experience required.
AAU NATIONAL TEAM - Level 4
The AAU National Team is a small, invitation-only group that trains at our MLK location in Silver Spring. Divers in this group range in age from 12 - 18, and train a minimum of six hours per week year round. AAU NT members are selected from our Human Springs groups based on demonstrated skills, talent and attitude. Divers on the AAU NT better their skills in an effort to qualify for AAU Nationals and to prepare for NCAA competition. This group has the opportunity to travel to overnight meets such as the Winter Weekend in Stamford CT, as well as the AAU National Championships every summer. If you would like to be considered for the AAU NT program, please email a video of your diving, gymnastics or trampoline skills to firstname.lastname@example.com.
USA Diving NATIONAL TEAM - Level 4-5
For a very select few, MDC's USA Diving National Team is an opportunity to pursue the highest of goals. Access to this group is by invitation only, and athletes must meet strict standards to maintain membership. USAD NT members train at our Rockville and Germantown locations under full-time professional diving coaches. Participants range in age from 7 - 19 years old, and train between 8 and 18 hours a week. As their skills advance, divers compete around the country and around the world. Athletes who wish to be considered for USAD NT should email a video of your diving, gymnastic or trampoline skills to firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.

Motorola has pushed the latest update for Connect. This time around the update deals with the Android version found in the Google Play Store and the Chrome version found in the Chrome Web Store. Key with this update, Motorola Connect users are getting MMS support.
Essentially, it looks like Motorola is trying to attract new users with new features. In the past the Connect setup allowed users to deal with calls, text messages and Hangouts messages. As of this update Connect users will have MMS messaging and group messaging. Specifically, the ability to receive and reply to MMS messages, and also receive and reply to group messages.
Motorola also noted improved contact matching and phone number format as being included with this update. Of course, perhaps the real key here is the heart of the Motorola Connect app — the ability to read and respond to messages coming to your cellphone — from your computer. Bottom line here, Connect is a good option for those regularly sitting in front of a computer.
The Motorola Connect app can be found in the Google Play Store, and also in the Chrome Web Store. The most recent update is already available in both locations, however those with the app/extension already installed may want to launch the respective app store on their device/computer and simply check for updates.

The ABA Rule of Law Initiative's (ABA ROLI's) Asia Division currently implements technical legal assistance programs in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Mongolia, Nepal, Pacific Islands, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Thailand and Vietnam. It also operates regional programs that address corruption, media and freedom of expression issues in South East Asia, and a Pacific Islands exchange program on women's rights; and cooperates with the Association of South East Asian Nations' Inter-governmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR). It previously had programs in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, East Timor and India.
Much of the Asia Division's work focuses on the following substantive areas: judicial and legal profession development, anti-corruption and citizens' rights advocacy aimed at increasing access to justice. The division has also played an important role as a convener of regional meetings for legal professionals, including a judicial program for high court justices from Indonesia, Laos, Philippines and Thailand that was conceived of and moderated by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is also special adviser to ABA ROI's Asia Council. In 2011, the AICHR held a meeting for civil society organizations and human rights experts in South-East Asia to discuss ways to strengthen the region's human rights system through advocacy. To supplement these efforts, ABA ROLI has trained lawyers from South-East Asian countries—including Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines—on advocacy issues, focusing on media and freedom of expression.

Not Again, Not Alone
Our accumulated experience should teach us a lesson that is the opposite of 'A nation that will dwell alone and not reckon with the nations.'
Eighty years have passed since the Nazi party headed by Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany. Four generations experienced the Holocaust and the founding of the State of Israel, and the wars and crises it has experienced during its 65 years.
Our accumulated experience should teach us a lesson that is the opposite of "A nation that will dwell alone and not reckon with the nations." To maintain our national existence there is no substitute for international alliances with the countries in our region and with the global powers. In a volatile world, the wisdom of statecraft is to identify the changes in time and work to garner support.
How to apply this lesson is not self-evident. Even when Hitler's Germany was the bitter enemy of the Jewish people, there were elements among the Jews of pre-state Palestine who made overtures toward it in an effort to undermine Britain, which controlled Eretz Yisrael.
Other elements, which saw the Soviet Union as the leader of a world revolution, ignored the weighty significance of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact (in fact, a pact between Stalin and Hitler), which gave the Third Reich a free hand in Europe, leading to the defeat of France and nearly of Britain as well.
Only after Hitler turned on Stalin did the Soviets end up on the right side of World War II. Afterward it assisted in establishing the State of Israel, but it then chose to support and arm its enemies and promote the escalation of tensions.
The U.S. government was apathetic to the reports from Europe of Jews being slaughtered, but its entry into the campaign when Germany and Japan declared war upon it eventually decided the course of the war. The tortured conscience of American society and its leadership played a significant role in the United States agreeing to the establishment of the State of Israel, and in its diplomatic, security and economic support since then.
Other examples of the Holocaust's lessons for Israeli diplomacy are the complete turnaround in relations with France, Turkey and especially Germany. But the banner headline was supplied by U.S. President Barack Obama last month when he declared that Israelis, or perhaps the Jews, "are not alone."
Foiling another Holocaust is indeed the supreme goal of the Israeli government and the Israel Defense Forces, but achieving that will require sober and moderate policies that will prevent Israel from being dangerously isolated.

Maoists kill two police officials, abduct one in Bengal (Second Lead)October 20th, 2009 - 10:00 pm ICT by IANS
Kolkata, Oct 20 (IANS) Armed Maoists rebels killed two police officers and abducted another in a daring daylight raid on a police station in West Bengal's West Midnapore district Tuesday, officials said.
The rebels also looted money from a nearby Keshiapara branch of the State Bank of India and left posters demanding the release of a jailed Maoist leader.
The looted cash amounted to around Rs.1 million. SBI branch manager Bairagi Charan Naik said the operation was led by a woman who had firearms in both hands. "She was speaking fluent English, Bengali and Hindi," he said.
A group of around 50 Left-wing rebels attacked the Sankrail police station under Jhargram sub-division and shot dead sub-inspector Dibakar Bhattacharya.
They also fatally shot assistant sub-inspector Swapan Roy before abducting the officer-in-charge Atindranath Dutta, state Chief Secretary Ashok Mohan Chakraborty told newspersons at the state secretariat Writers' Buildings after a high-level meeting convened by Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee.
Owning up responsibility for the raid, Koteswar Rao alias Kishanjee, a top leader of the banned Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), issued a threat to kill any senior police officer of the rank of director general or inspector general if they ventured into the area.
"Yes, we conducted the raid. We killed the police officer and abducted the OC. And if the director general or any inspector general rank police officer goes there to free the OC, we will shoot them dead also," Kishanjee warned.
Inspector General of Police (Western Range) Kuldeep Singh confirmed the rebels' raid.
According to police sources, the staff at the police station were heavily outnumbered in the assault and many fled.
At the nearby Keshiapara, motorcycle-borne Maoists decamped after looting money from the bank close to the police station and pasted posters demanding the release of arrested tribal leader and People's Committee Against Police Atrocities (PCAPA) leader Chhattradhar Mahato.
A large police force has left for the remote spot, but has not been able to reach as Maoists have reportedly planted landmines along the way.
Dibakar Bhattacharya and Swapan Roy are the first two police officers to be killed by the ultras after the West Bengal government launched a massive security operation to flush out Maoist rebels from Lalgarh, 200 km west of Kolkata, in June. The Sankrail police station is located to the south of Lalgarh and close to the state's border with Jharkhand and Orissa.

yeah, she's a little beyotch.

yeah, she's a little beyotch.
She should have called "First!" when in the foot race to the mat. That would have settled it. Besides, it's not fair that A&H have already had their turn at being first. If they had let Jennifer (and Nathan) be first this week, then she would certainly have let someone else be first next week, even if it meant she had to wait at the mat for as long as it took for the next place team to show up. It would only be fair. After all, it is a race, and they all need to take turns.
I agree, Adult Beverage. Everyone should actually just get together at the start of each leg and draw straws to see what order they'll arrive, and the short straw will go home. That's almost as interesting as actually RACING.
Wow, what an unearned sense of entitlement.
Was she really serious with that attitude last night on the mat? I was completely blown away that she wanted them the let her get first. Come on! It's a freakin race. She better try a little harder to get their first next time if it really means that much to her to get her turn. :ohno
In the TAR All Stars season, there was an episode where two teams showed up at the mat for 1st and 2nd place at essentially the same time and one of the teams let the other team take the prize. I can't remember who the teams were, but the team that got the prize was pretty much blown away. I remember thinking "they don't want to pay the taxes on that prize" but it was an odd enough event that Phil was even surprised by it. Maybe Jennifer saw that and think everyone should give away their prizes to her? Nah, she's just living in her own world.
Yeah, I think that was Danny and Oswald that gave the trip to Uchenna and Joyce, who was overwhelmed. Nice guys. :nod
Back on topic...Jennifer needs a swift kick back to reality. What a spoiled, entitled bitch.
She read the title and only got as far as The Amazing before she thought it was obviously all about her. She doesn't know it's a race.
:lol Nice.Quote:

It's a race, they worked hard and shouldn't have to give first place to anyone.Quote:

RANGE-style cooker specialist AGA Rangemaster said today that pre-tax profits for 2012, excluding exceptional costs, would come in ahead of the previous year, despite "continuing headwinds".landlords rent guarantee insurance
Weak consumer demand in the home move and home improvements markets had left cooker revenues slightly lower, with overall revenues down 2% at the year-end as they had been at the half-year stage.
However, the company said the decline was primarily down to declines in Ireland and currency movements.landlords rent guarantee insurance
New arrangements with the group's pension scheme and agreement on new banking lines finalised in late November would help the group position itself for growth, irrespective of tough domestic markets, with 2013 seeing continued cost reduction measures.

There was a net cash balance of more than £5million at the end of the year despite the a one-off deficit payment and contribution payments into the pension scheme totalling around £20m.
"Our great brands, tight cost control, product innovations and international market development programmes continue to sustain us against the headwind of weak housing transaction levels – for which prospects are now somewhat better," said chief executive William McGrath.
"We will be investing in our key brands to make sure 2013 is a more progressive

Toronto physiotherapist Lynn Suter, 39, will be watching when Mad Men returns to TV this Sunday – with her laptop and her phone right beside her. She will be following Twitter feeds and entertainment sites for commentary as the show unfolds, and will be texting friends and family with her own reactions as 1960s ad exec Don Draper and his hip young wife, Megan, greet the Summer of Love.
Bureaucrat Roy Scott, 60, will wait until the next day to watch it on his tablet as he takes the train from his home in Richmond Hill, Ont., to his job in Toronto. He subscribes to satellite TV at home to watch sports, but finds it more convenient to download his favourite shows illegally the morning after they air.
In Vancouver, 24-year-old music teacher and food blogger Heather Beaty is not exactly sure yet how she is going to snag her Mad Men fix, but she's willing to provide baking for any friend with a good cable package. A law-abiding type, she doesn't subscribe to cable – but also never downloads. Last week, she exchanged chocolate-chip oatmeal cookies for an invitation to the season premiere of the fantasy series Game of Thrones. "I am," confesses Beaty, "a bit of TV moocher."
Whether they are scrounging or paying, streaming or tweeting, today's television fans want the top cable dramas. And they want them now. In the process, their voracious appetites are transforming TV – reinvigorating the experience of appointment television even as they drive more and more viewers to piracy.
Launched by HBO's The Sopranos in 1999, the ascendancy of the cable drama as cultural marker and commercial product is now complete. On Easter Sunday, AMC's zombie series The Walking Dead clobbered the broadcast networks in the ratings, while HBO's sex-and-violence fantasy series Game of Thrones was subject to record levels of illegal downloads. This weekend, it's the turn of the slickly stylish Mad Men to shed more light on a landscape in which those too impoverished to pay cable bills gather around a friend's TV, while tech-savvy viewers torrent and binge.
In the "walled garden" tended by subscriber-only HBO, in the upper-cable tier inhabited by AMC, on the online subscription service offered by Netflix, and in the black market of torrent websites, viewers are looking for critically acclaimed, grownup shows with explicit sex, dark violence and plots so complicated they can spend most of the next day discussing them online. The broadcast networks, which have come to rely on cheap reality formats and tired procedural franchises to continue drawing a mass audience to free TV, have vacated the cultural high ground.
"The quality of TV is so much ahead of film now," Scott says. "I go to a torrent site … I watch episode after episode, week after week. It's wonderful. It's opened up my life to the arts."
"There are so many options today: PVR, video on demand, free [TV], behind the walled garden and … there is a lot of piracy, absolutely," says media and communications consultant Brahm Eiley. "But what is amazing is that linear [viewing] is still rocking. Look at the numbers!"
Specifically, the AMC cable drama The Walking Dead closed its season last Sunday with a record 12.4 million live viewers in the United States, and won the night. In the same time slot, Game of Thrones brought in 4.4 million for its third-season premiere, showing an increase of 13 per cent over its Season 2 opener – impressive numbers for a subscriber-only commercial-free TV channel like HBO. (Canadian ratings are not publicly available, but are generally about 10 per cent of American ones; HBO Canada, meanwhile, says Game of Thrones is up 11 per cent over last year, and remains its most popular show ever.)
And yet, as record numbers of legitimate viewers tuned in to Thrones, so did the pirates: This week, Internet site TorrentFreak reported data showing one million illegal downloads of the premiere of a show it had already named the most downloaded series of 2012.Report Typo/Error

The Celtics and the Clippers are nearing a deal that will send coach Doc Rivers to Los Angeles.
The deal was reported on Sunday, but will not be up for league approval until Monday, when NBA offices open. NBA commissioner David Stern said he would deny a rumored trade that involved Rivers' contract and player Kevin Garnett as a package deal.
The Clippers and Celtics are confident that this trade will put Rivers in L.A.
"This is very, very close to being done," said an official, who is not authorized to speak on the trade. "The belief with both teams is that the deal is going to get there."
Donald Sterling, owner of the Clippers, is working to finalize a contract that would pay Rivers $6 million to $7 million per season as part of a five-year deal.
Rivers currently has three years and $21 million on his contract with the Celtics.

AMR Corp. reports profits up by nearly 9 percent
DALLAS - American Airlines' parent, AMR Corp., said Wednesday that profits rose nearly 9 percent in the second quarter as the nation's largest carrier filled more seats with passengers paying higher fares, but results were dragged down by a spate of bad weather.
AMR reported profits of $317 million, or $1.08 per share, in the April-June quarter, compared with $291 million, or $1.14 per share, a year earlier.
Revenue fell 1.6 percent to $5.87 billion from $5.97 billion a year earlier. That was also less than expected by analysts polled by Thomson Financial, who were looking for revenues of $5.98 billion.
Southwest Airlines' profits fall to fuel costs
DALLAS - Southwest Airlines said Wednesday that its second-quarter profit fell 17 percent as rising fuel costs weighed on the discount carrier.
Demand for tickets was sluggish for much of the quarter, although it improved in June.
The company earned $278 million, or 36 cents per share in the April-June quarter, compared with $333 million, or 40 cents per share, a year earlier.
Revenue rose to $2.58 billion, just under analysts' forecast of $2.6 billion but better than the second quarter of 2006, when sales were $2.45 billion.
Pratt & Whitney gets $1.2 billion NASA contract
EAST HARTFORD, Conn. - A Pratt & Whitney subsidiary has won a $1.2 billion NASA contract to design and develop rocket engines for the next generation spacecraft that would someday send astronauts back to the moon, the company announced Wednesday.
The J-2X engine will power the upper stages of the Ares I and Ares V launch vehicles. The Ares rockets are part of the Orion program that NASA hopes will deliver astronauts and cargo to the moon no later than 2020.
The contract calls for the engines to be developed and evaluated through Dec. 31, 2012. Engines for operational missions will be purchased through a separate contract.

The U.S. Department of Education is reporting that its current student loan debt collection contract produced more revenue in the first 15 months of operation than the previous debt collection contract did for the same period of time, but debt collection revenues are still below the department's projections.
According to figures released by the Education Department, 23 debt collection agencies currently employed to recover defaulted student loans have recovered more than $3.8 billion in previously uncollected revenue, a 41-percent increase over the previous debt collection contract.
The newly recovered revenues include payments gathered via all sources, including litigation and student loan rehabilitation efforts.
Despite the jump in recovered revenues, the Department of Education says that its efforts to collect on unpaid federal college loans are still falling short of its projections.
"Although we are collecting more funds, we are not meeting our own internal goals and expectations for recoveries," a department spokesman told insideARM.com. "We continue to analyze the data and look for ways to improve the department's recovery efforts."
The current Department of Education loan debt collection contract, awarded in 2009, includes new incentives for top-performing collection firms. Earnings and bonuses for the top performers now include a greater share of the revenues these companies collect.
The Education Department was hoping that these incentives would translate into increased competition among the debt collection firms. To date, that has not been the case, and as insideARM notes, it has been rare to see any one collection company earn the top-performance ranking two quarters in a row.
Of the $3.8 billion in student loan debt that has been deemed "recovered," about $894 million has been classified as "collected," which includes rehabilitated loans.
The Department of Education's student loan rehabilitation program enables borrowers who have defaulted on their federal education loans to "rehabilitate" those loans, putting the loans back in good standing, by making nine on-time full payments of an agreed-upon amount over a period of 10 months.
Once this trial repayment period has been completed successfully, the defaulted student loan is considered rehabilitated and returned from collections to regular servicing. The notice of the default is removed from the borrower's credit record, and the borrower will again be eligible for federal financial aid and federal education loan benefits, including income-based repayment options and authorized payment-postponement periods.
Once rehabilitated, defaulted education loans are no longer subject to wage garnishment or to tax-refund withholding by the Internal Revenue Service.
Student loan debt collections among some private-sector lenders are also striking a sour note, but for different reasons. In late February, a federal judge refused to throw out a class-action lawsuit against student loan giant Sallie Mae that accuses the company of illegal debt collection practices.
In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs — all former students at a for-profit culinary arts school in California, which itself was sued by graduates who said the school burdened them with student loan debt and then failed to teach the skills necessary for gainful employment after graduation — claim that Sallie Mae illegally added an "unreasonable" 25-percent collection fee to their student loan account balances before turning the delinquent loans over to a third-party collection agency.
Sallie Mae argued that the 25-percent charge, which it assessed to cover its collection costs, wasn't necessarily unusual and that the class-action suit should be thrown out because the plaintiffs weren't specific enough in their claim of "unreasonable costs."
The judge in the case disagreed and is allowing the case to proceed to trial, although she rejected the plaintiffs' claim that Sallie Mae attempted to collect on their student loan debts unfairly and barred the plaintiffs from seeking relief under either the Consumer Legal Remedies Act or California's Rosenthal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.

"These are adorable and make a cute centerpiece for an Easter table. Instead of baking the cupcakes in paper liners, these are baked in the waffle bowls used for ice cream. The cupcakes can be stored for up to 1 day at room temperature. After a day, the cupcakes will begin to pull away from the sides of the waffle bowls. Times are approximate. Cooking time includes allowing the cakes to cool for 30 minutes before frosting."
Easter Basket Cupcakes

READY IN:1hr 30mins
YIELD:10 cupcakes
Ingredients Nutrition
- 10 waffle bowls (the type used for ice cream sundaes)
- 1 (18 1/4 ounce) box white cake mix
- 3 1⁄2 ounces vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1⁄2 cup milk
- 1⁄2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 tablespoon coconut flavoring (or substitute another flavoring) (optional)
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 3 -4 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (or other extract)
- 3⁄4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 3 drops green food coloring
- 2 cups jelly beans (this is approximate)
- 10 pieces red licorice, each 9 1/2 inches long (strawberry-flavored Twizzlers, for example)
- MAKE CUPCAKES: Place rack in center of oven. Preheat oven to 350F degrees.
- Cut ten 8-inch squares of aluminum foil. Place each waffle bowl in center of each foil square. Wrap the outside of of the bowl with the foil, tucking the edges of the foil just inside the top of the bowl. Place bowls on baking sheet and set aside.
- In large bowl, add cake mix, pudding mix, milk, oil, eggs, egg whites, and coconut flavoring (if using).
- Blend 30 seconds with electric mixer on low speed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat 2 more minutes on medium speed, scraping sides if needed.
- Fill each waffle bowl with a heaping 1/2 cup batter.
- Bake the cupcakes approximately 24-27 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and spring back when lightly pressed with finger.
- Place pan on wire rack to cool for 5 minutes.
- Gently peel off aluminum foil. Allow the bowls to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- MAKE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING: In large mixing bowl, add butter and mix with electric mixer on low speed until fluffy (about 30 seconds).
- Add confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons of milk, and vanilla. Blend on low speed until sugar is incorporated (about 1 minute). Beat 1 minute more on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add up to 1 tablespoon milk if the frosting seems too stiff.
- Note: If you want a slightly lighter color of frosting, beat the butter several extra minutes with the electric mixer before adding sugar. You can also flavor the buttercream frosting with other extracts in place of the vanilla extract. Use almond extract for almond buttercream, coconut flavoring for coconut buttercream, etc.
- MAKE BASKETS: Place the coconut in a plastic bag. Add 2 drops of green food coloring. Seal the bag and shake well until the coconut turns green.
- Add more food coloring if needed.
- TO ASSEMBLE: Place 2 heaping tablespoons of frosting on each cupcake and spread it out smoothly with a short metal spatula or spoon, until the tops are completely covered.
- Sprinkle on coconut to resemble grass. Place a pile of jelly beans on the coconut to resemble eggs.
- Create a basket handle by inserting one end of a licorice or Twizzler stick in one side of the cupcake near the edge. Bend the Twizzler over the cupcake and insert the other end in the opposite side of the cupcake.

Washington - US Congressman and stalwart Second Amendment enthusiast Paul Broun has launched a competition on his website offering a fantastic array of assault weapons as prizes to supporters of his anti gun control election mandate.
Inspired by the success of South Carolina state Senator Lee Bright's campaign offering an AR-15 rifle as a competition prize in the run up to a tilt at the US Senate, Broun has upped the ante to include his own astonishing assortment of home defence weapons.
His website is offering anti gun control supporters the chance to win surface-to-air missiles, hand-held, grenade launchers, Marine Corps issue OKC-3S Bayonets and Gerber Mk2 knives, a range of grenades including the M67 fragmentation grenade/the AN/M14 thermite grenade/the AN/M8 white smoke grenade/the AN/M18 colored smoke grenade and the M7A3 CS Gas Grenade; several army-issue pistols including the M9 (Beretta 92FS, 9x19mm) and the M11 (SIG Sauer P228, 9x19mm); M18A1 Claymore Anti-personnel mines and MM-1 Minimore Anti-personnel mines; a number of refurbished Patriot missiles AND the latest Pentagon must-have drone plane, fully equipped with laser-guided Tomahawk missiles.
Commenting on the upcoming US Senate election campaign Broun said he was overwhelmed by the amount of support registered on his website and hoped to be able to add a few extra surprises into his lucky bran tub of arms and ordnance goodies.

10-year-old Brian McDermott disappeared from Ormeau Park in Belfast, Ireland in 1973. His mutilated and charred remains were found in a river in Belfast, Ireland in 1973. His murder remains unsolved.
About the Case
Brian McDermott, 10, was last seen at Ormeau Park in Belfast, Ireland on September 2, 1973. A week later, the River Lagan was lowered, and a sack containing mutilated and charred remains was found. The body was later identified as Brian McDermott through fingerprints salvaged from one of the boy's fingers.

"That puts intense pressure on the victim to withdraw from the case. For a lot of victims, this is not worth it."
"It is deplorable, but not tragic, simply to be a victim of circumstance. Sheer victimization is not an assertion - and it naturally makes not for vision but for frustration. The victimizing circumstances, or accidents, seem arbitrary and exorbitant, even silly."

Beck is reporting that Boesch is to have season-ending surgery
Brad Penny was daytime Bad, and surrounded by a bit of clown show defense, but the Tigers made an improbably comeback from a 7-run deficit to put the White Sox on the verge of a sweep, and an 8 1/2 game Central hill to climb.
Max Scherzer (13-8, 4.52) climbs the mound for the Tigers, auditioning for the Since-We-Can't-Pitch-Justin-Every-Game role for the playoff rotation.
And speaking of Justin, after a rough outing by Jared Weaver he is now the pitching Triple Crown leader (thanks Kevin). Verlander has 21 wins (2nd: Sabathia 19), a 2.34 ERA (Weaver 2nd at 2.49), and 224 strikeouts (Sabathia 2nd with 211).
Mark Buehrle will be taking the mound for Chicago, and looking for a solution to the Austin Jackson problem.
Over the last week Jackson has been red-hot, hitting at a .552 pace (1.586 OPS), with more extra-base hits than strikeouts, and 2 stolen bases. For most of the season Jackson has been a weak spot in the Tiger lineup, leaving the Tigers 12th of 14 teams in hitting with the leadoff spot in the lineup, and 11th in OBP leading off games with a tepid .266 On Base Percentage. If Jackson can go into the last month of the season at even league average or above the Tiger lineup suddenly looks a lot more potent.
In case we get Bad Max on the mound today, it may be useful that the Tigers have recalled Al Alburquerque from his rehab assignment and activated him from the DL.
Player of the Pre-Game: Austin Jackson (see above).
Today's Bring-Out-The-Broom Lineup:
Beck is reporting that Boesch is to have season-ending surgery
It would be nice to get 6 good innings out of Scherzer tonight and, now that AlbKK is back, go with the 7-8-9 routine to finish off.
Kicking them when they are down. Excellent.
I feel like I'm stealing. Well, if I knew what that felt like.
A one-hitter from Max to drive the point home would also be nice.
Man, it has been nice to watch the Tigers…This is only the second full game I have watched this season. If only Indiana would broadcast Tigers games….
I like the fact that Scherzer is atill mixing his pitches rather than going to the all-fastball-pitch-to-contact bs.
Too bad they can save a few hits/runs for Cleveland!
Sorry, should be can't, not can.
I like Andy Dirks – good things frequently happen when he is in the lineup. He should be our 4th outfielder next year.
Marte continues his audition for middle relief role in '12.
So far, so good.
Below, on the other hand, not so much.
Did I mention that I liked Andy Dirks?
Why can't all the games be done by Rod and Mario? It's so lame to watch tonights game on ESPN2 and listen to such biased commentary and listen to them exclaim how great Chicago is as they are getting lambasted by the tribe. And by the way get your players names right. That was Alex Avila not A.J. going to the mound to confer with Scherzer. When is Detroit going to get the respect they deserve?
Couldn't have had a better series against CWS (OK with the exception of Penny)… let's hope they saved some runs for CLE – who is now the only viable threat for the AL Central.
Alburquerque did one rehab assignment and was called up, let's hope his elbow has also healed and he returns to his first-half form – because the Tigers really need some reliable relief pitching beyond Benoit and Valverde.

text: > On request of Milan, this is a follow up proposal to > > http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/libraries/2011-May/016362.html > > Here is what this patch specifically implements: > > - Shared representation between lazy and strict variants > - Lazy/Strict modules exporting appropriate operations for each The reason I requested this proposal is that we are talking about a bigger change and I was not sure what the community's opinion is. Current proposal splits the Data.IntMap into two modules -- one implementing IntMap with lazy values and other with strict values. The datatypes are the same, so users can freely use value-strict or value-lazy API. This allows reasonable naming of methods like insertWith' and also provides value-strict implementation of all methods. Methods insertWith' and insertWithKey' of Data.IntMap will be documented as "to be deprecated", then deprecated in the future and removed in even farther future. I assume that is a reasonable way to do very slow removal. As mentioned, we have no consensus on whether we should provide Data.IntMap.Lazy, which would export the Data.IntMap methods without the insertWith' and insertWithKey'. Currently I am against it. If we pursue this, we should do the same thing with Data.Map, as well. Cheers, Milan

LEADING THE DAY: Patent reform hits the House on Wednesday afternoon. The Judiciary Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition and the Internet will hold a hearing to discuss the House version of the America Invents Act. The bill, sponsored by Judiciary Chairman Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Tex.), is similar to the one that passed the Senate earlier this month. In a Politico editorial, Smith said a move to a first-to-file system and the addition of a review measure that allows third parties to submit information about patent applications will modernize and streamline the U.S. patent system.
The reform measures in both bills have the backing of the administration and several notable companies such as General Electric and DuPont. But some have said that provisions in the bill will hurt small inventors, particularly language that appears to weaken a grace period in which applicants can test their inventions.
Amazon Cloud Player raises legal questions: Amazon's new streaming music service has raised questions among music studios, who were reportedly only informed of the company's plans a week before the service launched. Sony spokeswoman Liz Young told Reuters that the music company hopes to reach a licensing deal with Amazon and will be "keeping all of our legal options open." Amazon told Ars Technica that it does not need a license to store music in its Cloud Drive. "The functionality of saving MP3s to Cloud Drive is the same as if a customer were to save their music to an external hard drive or even iTunes," Amazon spokesperson Cat Griffin told Ars.
BP loses laptop with personal data: BP lost a laptop that contained the private information of 13,000 victims of the spill cause by its Deep Horizon rig on the Gulf Coast. The company sent out a letter to those whose data were lost, saying the laptop included a spreadsheet containing the claimants' names, Social Security numbers, phone numbers and addresses. The AP reported that there is no evidence the information has been misused. BP has said no claimants will have to refile claims. The laptop was lost during "routine business travel" and contained the information of claimants who filed with the company before it handed over claims processing to the Gulf Coast Claims Facility.
Microsoft readying mobile payments: Bloomberg reported Wednesday morning that Microsoft is preparing to put Near Field Communication technology in its Windows Phone 7. That news follows reports that Google is pushing an initiative to spread the mobile payment technology across the county and Apple is said to be including the technology in a future version of the iPhone.
Google to start using smarter ads: Taking cues from its Priority Inbox feature, Google will begin tailoring ads for Gmail users based on actions they take in their mail accounts. For example, if a user gets a lot of ads about skiing but marks them all as spam, Gmail won't push skiing ads. The company said it is trying to cut down on bad ads and will take advantage of user cues to do so. It also mentioned offering local coupons but did not elaborate. In a help article describing the new ads, Google was careful to note that the system is automated and that no person will be reading e-mails to obtain this information. Users can opt-out of the new ad system.
Google also launched a chat bot for users of its Google Talk program. The bot, called Talk Guru, can answer specifically phrased queries about the weather, arithmetic problems, some language translations and more.
Meg Whitman joins Kleiner Perkins: Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman will join Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers as a strategic adviser. The firm announced Tuesday that she will advise entrepreneurs and help evaluate new digital investments. Whitman recently lost her bid for the governor's office in California.

You will need to provide the Yacht and Ship Section's ORI number (FL921900Z) to the vendor so they can submit the fingerprints directly to FDLE. Submit a copy of your receipt with a completed application for licensure or reinstatement to the Division with an application fee of $500. NOTE: The Livescan vendor will charge you directly for the fingerprint scan.
2) The second option is to request a fingerprint card from the Division's Yacht and Ship Section by calling 850.487.2987. Fingerprints may be obtained at a law enforcement office, then mailed to the Division along with your completed application and fee of $551.

It's been a long, tough fight, but I finally talked the big boss man into letting me go to South America. The Airblaster and Paul's Board Bin pro teams was headin' down to Argentina towards the end of August, so I jumped in for a couple weeks of south-of-the-boarder shred action.
I'll go out on a limb and say that it could have been one of the best trips I've ever had. The folks at South American Snow Sessions hooked us up with lodging. Las Lenas had what I think is some of the best terrain in the southern hemisphere. To top it all off, it snowed feet and feet of snow. And let me tell you something, if you don't know what Paul's Board Bin is all about—well, you will soon enough. We're talking a team that will destroy the modern snowboard world as we know it. When joined together with Airblaster heavyweights such as Travis Parker, Jake Welch, Shaun McKay, Robbie Sell, Japanese super pro JT, and Jed Anderson, I'm surprised that mountain is still standing. They tore it to bits. Keep an eye out for a feature in an upcoming issue of TransWorld.
Check out Coyle's slideshow, or don't, whatever.
