Russian prosecutor calls in media tycoons
Prosecutors in Russia have summoned two prominent media tycoons, Boris Berezovsky and Vladimir Gusinsky, for questioning later this month, and they've threatened both with criminal charges.
The BBC Moscow correspondent says both men were influential under President Yeltsin, but his successor, Vladimir Putin, has issued strict warnings to any of Russia's business elite who dare to stand in his way.
Mr Berezovsky is due to be questioned over allegations that hundreds of millions of dollars were channelled straight from the Russian national airline, Aeroflot, into Swiss bank accounts.
Mr Gusinsky, one of Mr Putin's fiercest critics, is accused of fraud in a a case involving his company Media Most. He's currently abroad and has already ignored one summons.

LONDON -- Prince Andrew, who served as a helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands War, bowed out of a 22-year naval career on Monday to become a British trade ambassador.
The 41-year-old second son of Queen Elizabeth II, a commander in the diplomacy section of the Naval Staff since 1999, had a traditional send-off Monday -- a luncheon aboard the aircraft carrier Ark Royal on the northeast coast of England.
He will undertake more royal engagements, and in October will become royal roving ambassador for British Trade International, the government organization responsible for the development and promotion of overseas trade.
''What I have enjoyed over the last 22 years has been the remarkable change in the way that we do our business -- I joined in the end of the '70s, we are now at the turn of the 21st century,'' Andrew said at the luncheon.
Prince Andrew, a dashing 19-year-old when he joined the Royal Navy in 1979, became a helicopter pilot and a Green Beret. When Argentine troops occupied the British South Atlantic colony of the Falkland Islands in 1982, he was part of the British naval task force that drove the Argentines out and regained the islands, which Argentina claims and calls the Malvinas.
He flew as a so-called Exocet decoy to protect warships from missile attack, helped in casualty evacuation, transport, and search and rescue.
Before his marriage to Sarah Ferguson in 1986, his bride-to-be learned to fly a helicopter so she could share more of his life. She was later to blame the failure of the marriage on the lengthy separations caused by Andrew's naval duties.
Although they divorced in 1996, the duchess and their two daughters, Princess Beatrice, 12, and Princess Eugenie, 11, continue to live on Andrew's Sunninghill Park estate near Windsor Castle, one of the queen's main residences.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Panthers have won four of their past five games. That has some wishing Carolina could keep playing and others looking to fast-forward to next season and a clean slate.
The Panthers are 6-9 entering Sunday's season finale at New Orleans, but one thing is certain — there's plenty of optimism.
The team is buoyed by the thought of what sensational rookie quarterback Cam Newton might accomplish with a full off-season to work with coaches.
What's more, 16 players are coming off injuries and the bulk of the roster is under contract.
"I don't think there's any question, everyone in this locker room is excited about next year," tight end Greg Olsen said.
Coach Ron Rivera said he was talking with his coaches this week about how nice it would be if this were a 20-game season given the momentum the team has built the last month.
"If we had just had a few more weeks, who knows?" Rivera said. "I wish we had a few more just to see, just to see if we've reached that point where we've matured enough."
Newton, a leading candidate for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year with 34 total touchdowns and a first alternate for the Pro Bowl, said he "absolutely" wishes the Panthers could keep playing.
He sees a completely different team now from the one earlier in the season. That one was tiptoeing toward an uncertain future; this one is surging, ready to bust up anything in its way.
"It's evident on film," Newton said. "But we can't get that back. You can't press rewind in life and you sure can't press fast-forward, so you've got to live for the present. I think going into next year we have to focus on what we can control.
"We have to learn from it. There are going to be mistakes made and things we had back, but we had ample opportunities that we could have bounced back from to make a bigger difference."
The Panthers enter the Saints game ranked fourth in total offense and third in rushing, a dramatic turnaround from last season when the Panthers were last in the league in total offense.

Naper Settlement's Oktoberfest offers immersion in German culture this weekend with plenty of beer, bratwurst and oompah music.
"The event ties in with our missions of education and preserving our community's history for the future," said Naper Settlement's Donna DeFalco. "German immigrants began arriving in Naperville in the 1840s, and they brought their traditions with them, which no doubt included Oktoberfest. Naper Settlement's Oktoberfest is a tribute to our community's German roots."

The Wii U was a big ace up Nintendo's sleeve at this year's E3, but president of Sony Computer Entertainment America Jack Tretton doesn't see the console as much of a threat to its current generation PlayStation 3.
Tretton spoke to Forbes about the E3 reveal of Nintendo's new console and had this to say:
I didnt see anything about Nintendos announcement that said Oh, wed better get working on rolling out a new PlayStation here pretty soon.
Our attitude is kind of welcome to the party. If youre looking at being a multimedia entertainment device, if youre looking at high def gaming, that was 2006 for us.
Last year Sony launched its PlayStation Move motion controller and this year sees the release of its touch screen-wielding portable console, PlayStation Vita.

I just don't get it. I don't get why women get money in a divorce, "just because". It doesn't matter if they have a job that puts them in the 1% or if they are dirt poor, the man automatically owes in a divorce. I went to college, landed a great job and became very successful. I made the mistake of marrying a woman who didn't already have these things for herself. She worked a a boutique, didn't have a degree and was kind of just scraping by, but I fell in love with her. We were married for 4 years, and I had to pay out the ass. Why? I earned my life, I sacrificed for it and I deserved it. Why does she deserve to be paid because I had the foresight, the motivation and dedication to make my life a success? I don't want to be resentful towards women, but this the norm in our society. Sure, there's always the exception to the rule, but generally speaking, women always get paid in a divorce. It cost me money to get married, with ring and all, and it cost me money to get divorced. I'll be damned if I EVER get married again! She's living the high life now and what did she do to deserve it? Am I a true feminist in thinking that there should be equal treatment between the sexes?

The book, one of the best selling children's books of all time, was based on a story Carroll made up to amuse Alice and her two sisters on a river boat trip in 1862. It was published three years later, sold 5,000 copies within months and has sold millions worldwide since. The Alice collector's market has been fanatical for a century. The original manuscript, handwritten and illustrated by Carroll at Alice's request, was sold at Sotheby's in 1928 for the then record price of £15,400, almost £500,000 in today's money. She sold it to pay bills on her husband's death, and it is now in the British Library.
"To collectors of children's literature or 19th century portrait photography this collection represents the Holy Grail," Peter Selley, a literature specialist at Sotheby's, said yesterday. "This was Alice's personal collection, and has never been outside her family."
The book made her famous in her own lifetime. The archive was maintained by her and by her descendants, and includes her wedding ring, the only Lewis Carroll letter to her still in private hands, and a hand-coloured version of his famous photograph of her as a bare-shouldered beggar maid.
It has an early copy of Alice in Wonderland inscribed "to her whose namesake one happy summer day inspired his story", estimated at up to £300,000.
Lewis Carroll was better known to his contemporaries as the mathematician and photographer Charles Dodgson. The sale includes an album of his photographs - of Alice and her sisters and his Oxford contemporaries - that is regarded as the best to come on the market, and is estimated at up to £800,000.

The Licking County Sheriff's Office is investigating an incident where a man reportedly lied to deputies about a gun shot wound he suffered.
Deputies responded to the area of 8861 Johnstown Alexandria Rd. in Johnstown, Ohio at 10:37 p.m. after receiving reports of a man laying next to the road with a gunshot would to his chest.
According to deputies, Micah Munday, 33, of Johnstown, told deputies that he confronted an unknown male subject in his residence who was stealing a weapon when the unknown subject shot him with. Munday was transported to Grant Medical Center and is in stable condition.
Deputies say after being interviewed, Munday admitted to detectives that the gunshot wound was self-inflicted, stating he was not attempting suicide, but said he wanted attention from this mother.

Tall, dark, mysterious - and with a faint scar on his cheek that only makes him more gorgeous - Kaiden Thorne is one schoolgirl obsession Skylynn never forgot. Now, returning to her childhood home after eight years, she can't believe her reclusive neighbor is still living across the street - and hotter than ever. Skylynn doesn't know how Kaiden manages to stay so young, virile, and impossibly attractive. But she knows she wants him…even if he harbors a fearful secret he refuses to tell her. When Kaiden sees the beautiful young woman Skylynn has become, he can no longer control the bloodlust that is his true nature. Once he pulls Skylynn into his arms, presses his lips against hers - and accidentally draws blood -he longs for more. Only she possesses what he wants and what he needs. Only she can save him or destroy him. But once Skylynn agrees to help Kaiden battle his darkest desires, there is no turning back…
©2012 Madeline Baker (P)2013 Recorded Books
"I was engaged in the plot but never gripped"
Kaiden Thorne was a drop dead gorgeous sexy Vampire (always a plus) whose deep longing for Skylynn, the mortal girl across the street, is about to get a whole lot worse when she returns from an unhappy marriage to clear out her deceased Grandfather's house. Skylynn has always day dreamed and fantasised about her sexy but mysterious neighbour Kaiden and when he turns up on her doorstep things will change forever for her too.
A tender contemporary sweet Vampire love story about death, betrayal, revenge and love with a few twists thrown in. There's a Hunter that stops at nothing to get his revenge, a traumatised Brother whose lost his memory, an Elixir that has almost magical powers and a few other ancillary characters. There's a bit of action but nothing really pulse pounding and weak, nearly non existent, sex scenes.
I liked this light listen but found it could easily have been a YA rather than the darker, sexier and altogether deeper stories that I love sooo much. I related to Kaiden (well hello who wouldn't) but I found it very difficult to connect with Skylynn and there were a few 'questionable' actions in the plot that I felt were just stupid. It had a 'Twilight' feel and Skylynn even referred to herself as Bella at one point.
Worth a credit? If you're in the mood for, or like, a fairly easy going Vampire romance then look no further you'll enjoy it but for me it wasn't very memorable so I've got to say I'm doubtful about the credit and, if I hadn't already downloaded another book of hers As Twilight Falls I think I'd have passed on it .... but here's hoping.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa has changed the weightings in its consumer price index basket to reflect the latest spending patterns, giving a slightly lower weighting to food, while petrol and electricity weightings will rise, the statistics agency said on Tuesday.
The weighting of electricity and other fuels has doubled to 4.1 percent from 2.1 percent previously, reflecting a steady rise in electricity tariffs from state utility Eskom. Petrol will rise to 5.4 percent from 3.6 percent.
Household contents and services also dropped in weighting, to 4.9 percent from 6.1 percent, Statistics South Africa said.
The agency said the new weights would apply from January 2013.
Analysts said the changes would not make a marked difference to headline inflation, which quickened to 5.5 percent in September.
Stats SA said it would not recalculate previous inflation numbers.

The Mechanism of Voting Efficiency
In the wake of the financial crisis, shareholders are increasingly relied upon to monitor directors. But while much has been written about directors' flawed judgments, remarkably little is known about shareholders' ability to make accurate judgments. What determines whether shareholders make the right decision when asked to vote on, say, a merger? This paper takes a novel approach to this question by drawing an analogy between corporate voting and another system to aggregate information on estimated values: stock trading. Using insights on stock market efficiency, the paper makes three contributions to our understanding of voting efficiency. First, the paper identifies four key mechanisms of voting efficiency: (1) informed voting, which implies that shareholders have some information to base their voting decision on; (2) rational voting, which implies that such information is processed in a rational, unbiased way; (3) independent voting, which implies that each shareholder arrives at a judgment by making use of his or her personal cognitive skills, and (4) sincere voting, which implies that shareholders vote with a view to furthering the common interest of maximizing shareholder value rather than their own private interest. The paper explores the operation of each mechanism, and demonstrates that the mechanisms interact in unexpected ways. Second, the paper shows that share trading, proxy solicitation and vote buying can usefully be viewed as arbitrage techniques that reallocate voting power in the hands of shareholders with superior information and processing skills, and with appropriate incentives. By reducing information asymmetry, arbitrage techniques potentially play an important role in improving voting efficiency. In practice, however, they are subject to cost constraints as well as legal constraints. The limits of voting arbitrage are significant, and affect voting efficiency much in the same way as limits of securities arbitrage affect market efficiency. Third and finally, the paper analyzes two issues that are currently being studied by the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission and policymakers around the world: voting without corresponding financial interest ('empty voting') and the major influence of proxy advisers. By showing that these issues each involve a trade off between the various mechanisms of voting efficiency, their costs and benefits are brought into sharper focus. Several policy options are then presented to mitigate the costs while fostering the benefits.

Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland
In the state of Maryland what does the term criminal assignment mean in a criminal case.
Asked on 9/07/13, 5:58 am
2 Answers from Attorneys
William Welch William L. Welch, III Attorney
Criminal assignment keeps track of what's available and what's not on the court's calendar. An experienced criminal defense attorney can help you evaluate the prosecution's case, any defenses that you might have, and any plea offer that might be made, so that you can decide whether to go to trial. Consider seeking a confidential consultation.

World Day of Prayer for France
1st March 2013
1 March is the 2013 World Day of Prayer, an inspiring international ministry event encouraging people to pray for critical gospel needs across the world. This year, the focus of this event is France, particularly on spreading the gospel message to French youth. CMS is encouraging people to join with believers all over the world in praying for France, particularly as CMS has missionaries in France working with the GBU (Groupes Biblique Universitaires), an evangelistic on-campus program working with French university students.
The World Day of Prayer is organised by an international committee of women from over 170 countries. It falls on the first Friday of March every year. This year's focus on France is fuelled by a desire to see the gospel of Jesus Christ introduced to the huge numbers of French people who have never encountered Jesus or Christianity.
45% of French people aged 18 to 25 are self-confessed atheists.
France is a highly de-Christianised society. The government has a particular focus on maintaining a complete separation between religion and the state, meaning that Jesus is rarely proclaimed in government-controlled places, such as schools and universities.
Through the World Day of Prayer, people have also been praying for the Bible Society's ZeBible program. This program produces short, readable translations of the Bible that appeal to young people who are unfamiliar with reading the Bible. ZeBible is currently developing an online platform to reach the many tech-savvy French young people who have not been introduced to Jesus. Please pray that this platform will help French youth to engage with the Bible afresh.
Many Australians get involved in World Day of Prayer each year. For example, each year, a group of people in regional South Australia gets together for breakfast to participate in the World Day of Prayer. CMS supporter and coordinator Alison Keech says:
'The three small towns of Koolunga, Yacka and Gulnare combine to hold the World Day of Prayer. It is uplifting to think that there are groups praying into the same situation, like lights shining throughout the day all over the world due to different time zones."
We encourage you to join in the World Day of Prayer for France. You can pray through the following prayer points from some of the CMS missionaries and affiliates working in France:
Caroline Evenden (currently preparing to serve in student ministry in France):
• The position of General Secretary of the GBU in France is vacant, so ask God to raise up a suitable person for that leadership role
• Pray that the Lord will use his people in France to put God's word in the hands of young people over the years ahead
Paul and Sandra (working with the GBU in eastern France):
• Pray for preparation of the evangelistic theatre presentation The Mark Drama, which presents the Gospel of Mark, to be performed in Strasbourg
Joyce Chu (Affiliate working with the GBU):
• Thank God for the encouraging growth of the student prayer groups
And even if you miss the actual World Day of Prayer, remember that France requires prayer every day of the year! Click here to subscribe to prayer points from CMS missionaries in France

Don't Starve is constantly undergoing changes in its beta state. The most recent update was released on November 27, and it introduced new enemies, and more importantly, items to craft. The way Don't Starve is set up requires players to first spend Research Points in a Science Machine or Alchemy Machine before they're able to unlock some of the more advanced items. This system has been around for months, but Klei has plans to drastically change or remove Research Points in 2013.
According to Klei Entertainment's Kevin Forbes, the current Research Points system is too much of a grind. In some ways, he would be right. The most Research Points can be earned by cashing in trinkets found buried at grave sites or exchanging gold. The problem is grave sites don't respawn, and the drop rate for finding gold by smashing boulders has been drastically reduced. The only other way to get gold is to give meat to the Pig King. That method in and of itself requires grinding for meat that you can otherwise use to sustain yourself.
The new plan for unlocking advanced items isn't too much different than creating basic items. Instead of unlocking them through Research Points, you'll simply build prototypes by using more materials than normal.
"You build a prototype at the machine the same way you currently unlock a recipe – but it costs 2x (3x? character dependent?) the usual cost," Forbes wrote on the Don't Starve forums. "Once you've built a prototype, the recipe is unlocked for that world, and you can build the recipe anywhere at the normal cost."
This has naturally caused the community to offer their opinions on the matter. The Don't Starve forums are very civil, and some of the suggestions are quite interesting. Here are a few tidbits:
"I love the fact that it would kill of all the grind and that you would no longer need to rack up the points to build something. It is logical to think of an idea, make it and than be better at making that item, in that aspect it seems like a very natural way to do things. It would indeed also allow you to decide what you want to make every playtrough [sic] and determine your strategy for that survival run."
"Gotta say that I greatly dislike this change, it makes no sense to me, you are removing the aspect of grinding, by forcing us to farm huge quantities of materials just to make the prototype? Lets take a pig house for example, as I have recently constructed my own village of piggys: Being conservative and taking your estimate of x2… That requires 16 planks, and 14 stone… for 1 prototype… thats 96 logs just to create a prototype…"
"I'm liking the prototype idea, I think it'll add that extra 'Should I really build this prototype or should I use the resources for something else' kind of fear."
So what do you think? Would you be okay with prototypes replacing Research Points, or would you rather keep Research Points under a revised system?

Scientists Identify Sea Squirt as Model for Alzheimer Disease Research and Drug Testing
San Diego State University researchers have discovered a potentially valuable model for Alzheimer disease (AD) research and drug testing in the form of the sea squirt Ciona intestinalis.
The team reports on their studies with the marine tunicates in a paper titled "Ascidians: an invertebrate chordate model to study Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis," which appears in Disease Models & Mechanisms.
The fact that vertebrate models can take months or years to generate AD plaques is one reason why researchers are increasingly turning to the use of invertebrate model systems, particularly Drosophila and C. elegans, for research and drug screening, explain lead authors, Mike Virata, Ph.D., and Bob Zeller, Ph.D. However, because these nonchordates have a distant evolutionary relationship to vertebrates, research findings can be difficult to extrapolate to humans. The lack of BACE exhibiting β-secretase activity in both flies and worms has complicated efforts to examine amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing in these systems, they point out.
In contrast, sea squirts are possibly the closest invertebrate relatives to humans, Drs. Virata and Zeller claim. The animals not only share about 80% of their genetic make-up with humans, but in their immature forms as tadpoles, they also resemble vertebrates. In addition, bioinformatics analysis indicate that the sea squirt genome contains orthologs of all Alzheimer-relevant genes.
The latest findings suggest that the sea squirt may represent the first invertebrate model of AD capable of correctly processing APP to generate the plaques characteristic of the disease. When the researchers administered APP to sea squirt tadpoles, the animals rapidly formed amyloid beta containing plaques in their brains within just 24 hours. Treating the plaques with an experimental antiplaque drug subsequently reversed both plaque formation and the accompanying behavioral defects demonstrated by the tadpoles.
"Our results suggest that the ascidian will be a useful, rapid, invertebrate chordate model system to study the early stages of Alzheimer's disease," the scientists state. "Through its use, we believe that fundamental questions regarding the molecular mechanisms coordinating AD and its pathogenesis will be answered. Furthermore, owing to its small size and experimental tractability, the ascidian may permit cost-effective and rapid screening of candidate therapeutic compounds for AD early in the drug development process."

When she came home many days crying with stories of mean girls that sent me spiraling back and re-living my elementary years drama/trauma, it was all I could do not to swoop in and decide we really were going to move to that cabin in the woods and be hermits. But I stuck with it, and so did she.
I knew having a child in school would be an adjustment for all of us. We braced ourselves to adjust, because despite reading books and blogs or talking to other parents, you never know exactly how your family will need to flex until you are living it. I have had to be a bit more structured with my time. I have had to become more organized. No more scrambling the morning of. I want Hayleigh to leave for school with a full bucket, not just a full belly. I would hate to have her leave without a feeling of peace and be gone for 7 hours. This has been a tough one for us at times because we had become so accustomed to leisurely mornings since Peter begins work around 9:30-10 am and Hayleigh was in afternoon preschool last year. I have had to say "no" to more things so I can say "yes" to other things-like being very present and available from 3 o-clock until bedtime. I am not saying this is how it has to be. It is just what works best for our family, and I am thankful every single day that I get to be home with Braxton and Royce all day and there to pick be the one to see Hayleigh's face light up as we pick her up every afternoon in the school cafeteria. I love being the first one to hear her stories, even if I often have to remind myself this is not an interrogation and the poor girl needs some breathing room.
The first few weeks Peter and I were ready for a personality shift. We had heard stories of sweet 5 years olds becoming almost unrecognizable for the first month or so until they adjusted to being "on" all day. We were ready to give grace, ready to coach her (and ourselves) through the emotional tornado we had been told about. But it didn't come, at least not in the way we expected. She held up really well to the physical toll. She was fairly engaged and energetic when she came home. She obviously missed Braxton and Royce and would jump right in to pretend play with them. We would hear stories from school, learn kids names and hear about her "specials". What I was not ready for is her neediness and how it would manifest in unfamiliar ways. The past month or so has actually been harder than the first month. Hayleigh's teacher is tough at times. I remember it from when she was my teacher. I have witnessed it first hand this year and heard some stories from Hayleigh. We know her job is not to nurture; it is to teach. And Hayleigh IS learning. It is so cool to see her learning the beginning stages of reading and math! Hayleigh is very much a "words of encouragement" love language girl. Her teacher does not give much positive reinforcement or really any warm, fuzzy feelings what-so-ever. Again, it is not her job to hug, nurture or praise my girl. And this is not how God has made her. We trusted that God would give Hayleigh the exact teacher he wanted her to have in order to mold her into the person He wants her to be. We are confident that the teacher Hayleigh has is that teacher. But many days Hayleigh comes home with her bucket leaking and nearly empty. She is craving all the attention and affection I can give, sometimes even more than I think I have to offer. When she isn't getting what she craves some new behavior has arisen. Our once rule-following daughter, who is obsessed with the rules/ adult approval at school, is testing the limits at home when she rarely ever has before.
I am feeling a bit drained from it all, but trying to remember what a wonderful opportunity this presents to remind Hayleigh of the Gospel. She and I are so alike. We are rule-following, people pleasers. Sometimes it is easy to kind of let Hayleigh "slip through the cracks" in my parenting because she is "easy" and "good". Braxton and Royce are younger and have different personalities that demand more of my energy (and often force me to my knees in prayer). I am reading "Give them Grace" by Elise Fitzpatrick (Mommy friends, read it. Read it. Read it.) She talks about two types of children: Little Prodigals and Little Pharisees. It is easy for me to discipline my prodigals. Okay, not so much easy to discipline, as easy to see the need for discipline. I have ample opportunities to remind them of their need for Jesus' forgiveness, to encourage them that Jesus has the power to help them do what is right even if their hearts still need Him, and to tell them how wonderful it is that God rescued us from our sins. It really seems like good news to the prodigals. Prodigals know they need help. Us Pharisees though, we are the ones to whom the good news doesn't always seem as good. We are the ones who often receive praise based on our behavior or performance. We start to think we have got this figured out. Exhaustion and overwhelming guilt and anxiety often follow pretty closely, but when we are clicking along following the rules, getting the nods of approval, pats on the back and stars on our papers, we feel like "we got this." We thrive on rules. Positive reinforcement is our friend. "Go ahead, tell me how good I am. Did you notice how I not only followed that rule, but I also made a newer rule to follow just so I wouldn't even come close to breaking that rule??…just so you would think I am awesome?" Ummm….hello modern day Pharisee. Yuck.
School (and all the rules that come with it) and new behavior at home have presented me with fresh ways to share the grace of God with Hayleigh. Rules are never enough to make us "good". We are good because of Jesus. Hayleigh has been very relieved to hear that while obeying the rules is important it doesn't make God look at her and see goodness. The reason God sees her as good is because He looks at her and sees His Son. She will often pray "Thank you God for putting the Holy Spirit in my heart so I can never be alone, so I can make good choices and so you see Jesus." Oh, what a sweet reminder that is for me, a Pharisee. The Prodigals obviously need Him. The Prodigals were Jesus' friends. Us Pharisees have farther to go, even though we think we are just steps away. I want so desperately to raise children who know they need Jesus, not children who know how to keep all the rules. I want kids who know that their value lies not in what they do, but in what has been done for them-on the cross. I want to raise kids who know God could never love them less or more than He already does. And I want to know that myself.
Lately I have been having such amazing and beautiful heart changes when it comes to understanding God, His love, His grace. I could go on and on, and maybe I will someday (lucky you!). But for now, I will leave it at this. I wasn't prepared for this rule following-Prodigal-Pharisee-stuff to be the way God grew us as we entered the school stage. I was expecting for it to be in conflict resolution, peer pressure, curriculum issues, learned behaviors that needed to be unlearned etc. But once again, God has surprised me. Once again God is using Mommyhood to teach me things about myself, and more importantly, about Him.

BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. – Nery Castillo made the kind of entrance saved for heroes on Sunday night at Toyota Park, but the Fire's prized new Designated Player never quite managed to save the day in his MLS debut.
Castillo logged 34 minutes off the bench in the Fire's scoreless draw, an expectedly short stint for a player still seeking match fitness. He's more than a month removed from real action and still far from acclimated to a Fire lineup very much in motion, but it didn't seem to matter to a Toyota Park crowd that waited breathlessly for his first steps on the field.
Castillo was greeted with a standing ovation and fireworks when he came on in the 56th minute, after Fire fans serenaded him in anticipation as he warmed up along the end line.
"I was happy to see how many people showed up to support the team, and to hear them chant my name was very special," said Castillo, who played up top in place of Brian McBride. "Their support means a lot to me; my respect to them."
Fire coach Carlos de los Cobos said following the match that he expects Castillo to be available for a full 90 minutes for Wednesday's road test at the New England Revolution.
[inline_node:315411]"I did get a bit tired because you come into the game and try to catch up to the rhythm at which it's been played, and it is hard," Castillo said. "But it was important for me to be on the field tonight and start getting used to my teammates, not just in training but in competitive situations."
Said McBride: "I think he's getting there, he's getting acclimated. You're starting to see him become more and more comfortable, and you can really see he has that offensive flair that can fit here. It's exciting to see what he can do for us."
Still, it's unclear how exactly Castillo will fit into the team's stable of strikers. McBride earned the start while Collins John failed to see time Sunday, and the Fire seem content to use new DP Freddie Ljungberg in an attacking central role some expected Castillo to fill behind McBride up top.
"Nery gave a very good effort, as did Freddie," de los Cobos said. "They just need to work on their chemistry. It will take time to work them into the system, but I'm confident that it's going to happen."
Castillo had sparkles of flair in his debut, but he failed to generate any real scoring chances for a Fire team that was relatively toothless offensively. The hosts managed just one shot on goal to New York's seven, and rarely threatened Red Bulls goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul.
"It's important to play with Nery, that's what we've talked about," Ljungberg said. "There's no point in kicking the ball long with two short guys up front. We need to play the ball up through the back, and when we played it out, I think we played really well. At times, I think we played really, really well."

--Sorry for the bad english, brazilian here--
I just bought a american Wii, LU31... about august 2007, then I put the drivekey(It came with the yellow sticker behind) on him(in the drivekey menu says SW Version v1.0/FPGA Version v2.0)
And here's a thing, I turn him on, put my false dvd, he reads, when I put the start button, it come the error screen, then I put thw wii sports, for about 3 minutes, take it off, put again the same dvd, and I can now play the false, and every time I turn him on it's the same history :/ There's anyone knows the reason for that?
The wii came on 4.2u, don't have homebrew channel, nothing, but when I connect him to the internet, he asks a wii update system, but I say no, should I do it?
Well.. that's it, I hope you guys can help me.

"hmm, there's a file README.build, oh run 'debian/rules setup'. cool, that works now" The only reason this isn't cleaner is because it's a hack on top of an aging source format. Making it more streamlined would require support from dpkg-source. IMO, it would look like: foo_1.0.tar.bz2 foo_1.0-3_debian.tar.gz (debian directory) foo_1.0-3_patches.tar.gz (get applied in the order they are packed) Makes more sense than what we have now, and is easier to seperate (where as now, the entire debian directory is in a diff, and would be easier to parse as a tarball of it's own). The point being, I'm not arguing that the format I or other people are using is right, but the "system" is more useful than what we are given to use (the diff/dsc/tar setup). You can argue about the tar in a tar all you want, I don't like it either. But the seperate patch set is a must, and don't argue "well apply and remove it during the build/clean targets of debian/rules" because that is ugly and asking for problems. -- -----------=======-=-======-=========-----------=====------------=-=------ / Ben Collins -- ...on that fantastic voyage... -- Debian GNU/Linux \ ` email@example.com -- firstname.lastname@example.com -- firstname.lastname@example.com ' `---=========------=======-------------=-=-----=-===-======-------=--=---' -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to email@example.com with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Buy your usual jean size - if they feel tight out of the box, it doesn't mean they are too small, it just means you need to spend a little quality time breaking them in. A few hours of wear is all it'll take to make these your new favourite jeans.
This fit has RE/DONE's classic high rise cut with well worn vintage denim and a finish that hits just above the ankle.
PLEASE NOTE: Each pair of RE/DONE denim is unique. The pair you buy will be different than the pair pictured (i.e: colour, wash.

I know…four days in and I've already jumped the healthy bandwagon. Will you forgive me for taking a one day break? Because these Slow Cooker Brisket French Dip Sandwiches just can't wait until February.
It wasn't supposed to be this way. This was supposed to be a nice simple beef brisket served with a pile of carrots, onions, and potatoes. Sure, it wasn't exactly the picture of health, but it was a complete meal made right in your crockpot.
I blame the brisket for this mess. It was just so darn tender. And the broth? The wine made it so rich, so perfectly dunkable.
The brisket literally fell apart. It was like a love struck school girl–I barely looked at it and it fell to pieces.
I took one bite of the stuff and some instinct in my brain just took over. It was yelling, "Cheeeeeese, woman! This needs cheese!"
And before you know it, I was slathering buns with butter and smothering that brisket in gooey melted Swiss.
It was an accident. The really happy kind.
Guys? These sandwiches are really, really good. And the whole process is made so easy by the trusty slow cooker. I did brown the beef in a skillet for a short time before throwing it in the crockpot, but other than that, this is a dump and go recipe. The brisket cooks low and slow in a beef and wine broth seasoned with rosemary and bay leaf.
Once the beef is done, you just pile it onto the sandwiches, add your cheese, and give it a quick turn under the broiler.
I've never really had a french dip sandwich before, but now I can say with confidence that you haven't really lived until you've dunked your sandwich in savory, beefy liquid. It's an entirely new experience. One I insist you try as soon as possible.
If you're not interested in cooking the carrots and potatoes with the beef, feel free to leave them out. I do suggest you keep the onions though. They really put the sandwiches over the top. Or, if you really must, I supppoooose you could skip the sandwich thing and serve this dinner as it was originally intended-on a pile of slow cooked veggies. Either way, you're gonna love this beef!
The #SundaySupper team is easing into the New Year with a whole line up of slow cooker recipes. If you're looking to simplify your evening dinner routine, this is the post for you! Check them all out below the recipe!
P.S. Because it's January and I know you all are trying to eat healthier, I also made you a salad to go with the brisket. You're welcome.
P.P.S. If you're looking for a good slow cooker, this is the one I use. It handles roasts like a boss and turns pork into fall apart tender, sandwich-ready BBQ. Five years and still going strong, this is a work horse in my kitchen.
Slow Cooker Beef Brisket French Dip Sandwiches #SundaySupper
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2-3 lbs. beef brisket
- Sea salt and black pepper
- 1 yellow onion, quartered
- 4 medium potatoes, quartered (optional)
- 4 carrots, chopped into bite sized pieces (optional)
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 4 bay leaves
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 cups dry red wine
- Enough water to cover
For the sandwiches
- Buns
- Butter
- Swiss Cheese
- Add oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Cut any large hunks of fat off the brisket then season it generously with salt and pepper on all sides. Add the brisket to the hot oil and cook until browned on all sides, 2-4 minutes per side.
- Place the onion, carrots and potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot followed by the brisket. Sprinkle with garlic cloves, rosemary, and bay leaves. Add the broth and wine then fill with enough water to cover all of the beef and vegetables.
- Cook on low for 8 hours, then high for an additional hour.** Remove the bay leaves before serving.
For the Sandwiches:
- Remove the brisket from the crockpot and shred it. Butter both sides of the buns then place them under the broiler on low for 2 minutes or until browned and toasted. Pile the bottom half of the buns with the briskets and a few onions followed by 1-2 slices Swiss cheese. Place that half of the sandwich back under the broiler for another 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Top with the other half of the sandwich bun. Use the remaining broth from the crockpot as the "dip" for the sandwiches. Dunk and enjoy!
**Note: Since I work during the day, I can't really set my crockpot to high, but if I didn't I would probably cook this on high for 6 hours then turn it down to low for another 2-4 hours. It wasn't quite fall apart tender after 8 hours on low. I think it benefits from the high cooking time.

The Island Arts Centre and SERC are celebrating after their Arts Service was listed as a co-finalist for the 'Career Inspiration Award' category in the Irish News Workplace & Employment Awards 2014.
Now in their eighth year, the glittering 2014 awards will take place in Titanic Belfast on Thursday June 19 and will honour exceptional organisations in Northern Ireland that put an emphasis on developing, nurturing and getting the best out of people.
Mags White Arts Administration Coordinator, Island Arts Centre said: "With a record number of entries this year, SERC and Island Arts Centre are delighted to have made the shortlist for one of the most prestigious prizes in the business calendar.
"It demonstrates our extraordinary commitment as educators and communities to our students' futures."
The award category focuses on key strategic partnerships between business and education organisations, and what steps they are taking, to enable young people, to achieve the critical initial steps, towards their career ambitions.
SERC Performing Arts students and Island Arts Centre, have been operating in partnership since 2012.
Initially, the Arts Service identified an opportunity to use the Performing Arts Students as walkabout entertainers for the annual Lisburn City Halloween event.
This has been developed by the provision of professional coaching and tuition by the Arts Service team, the development of the SERC Performing Arts curriculum to reflect these projects, and the students' own professional theatre company being contracted to perform as part of the biannual Season Programme of Events in the intimate Studio Theatre at the Island.
SERC Performing Arts lecturer Sarah Collyer said she was delighted with the news.
"This is fantastic recognition of the work we are doing at the college and for our partnership with ISLAND Arts Centre.
"The work-based initiatives are designed to bring out the best in our Students and to encourage them to use their own creativity throughout every endeavour."

Letters to the editorNov. 15, 2005
Group a 'shire,' not 'squire'
First of all, I would like to thank you for your fair treatment of our organization in Friday's edition of the Lariat, and your attempt to debunk a few myths about us that seem to flourish on our lovely campus. However, you very well may have just created a few of your own without realizing it.
For one thing, our name is the Shire of Morconor, not the Squire of Morconor. The title of 'squire' is reserved for individuals who have been chosen by a 'knight' in our organization because they show promise as a future knight. I have to wonder how such a typo occurred.
We haven't ever used our forums to create our characters -- we create them ourselves, out of our own imaginations, and use our message boards to communicate either with other groups, other members or to express general silliness and fun.
We don't have or use scripts unless someone decided to start using them without contacting any of the other leaders of HFS either. Your writer almost got our system of fighting correct. We not only meet in our garb to elect officers, we meet in it whenever we so choose. We don't wear green-and-gold uniforms -- we wear medieval garb of our own taste and style. Uniforms have nothing to do with our organization unless we are part of a special group within a group, such as a guild, house, clan or company.

Dismissal has been worn out
As I got my daily Lariat and opened it to the editorial page, I was annoyed to see yet another letter to the editor about Tim Smith's removal from Hankamer's advisory board.
While Baylor is a Baptist school and in his removal, the school upheld its standards, it's also an outrage that we, as humans, can't get past someone's personal choice in how they live and love them as God has commanded us as Christians to do.
It's time to move on to other topics in the editorial section instead of staying with this one "travesty." Enough is enough, and in this case, more than just enough.

Postgame Quotes - January 27, 2012
Pistons vs Hawks
Hawks: Larry Drew | Joe Johnson | Marvin Williams
Pistons Head Coach Lawrence Frank
(On not fouling in final seconds of regulation) - "Well, it really goes back to this, we hit the bucket with 39 seconds to go, they're walking the ball up the court and we don't get mad stub and we gave Marvin Williams the three, and now six becomes three. We had a foul to give, obviously we wanted to foul but we didn't foul. We kicked the game there is no doubt about that, it's obviously a game we should have won, we didn't and obviously it is very disappointing. Yet another group performance that gets wasted and not in win town. Like I said, during tough times like this, mistakes are made. That is when you're a group it is easy to support your guys, this is the growing pains, obviously no one wanted to lose the game, we put ourselves in a position up six with 39.8 to go and we lost the game."
(On tonight and if it's considered losing on your terms as it was against Miami) - "Well I think obviously Joe Johnson set that third quarter, we gave up 28 points in that third quarter and Johnson obviously was not going to keep just the two points like he did in the first half. They were scoring on their terms in the third quarter, specifically Johnson. Late on helps, not up on screens, whether it was on pin downs or pick and rolls, but I thought that group, Walker (Russell), and Rodney (Stuckey) that got us up to 78-70 and gave us a nice lift and then the moment of truth in that last six minutes of the game. That is when we have to make winning plays and we left them out of there again."
(On not fouling) - "For me I go back to the fact that we make a bucket, literally they were just walking the ball, and we couldn't get matched up and that is when we gave (Marvin) Williams the three and then, what I think happens, it's late game situations, you know the moment and guys get caught up and we did not execute what we wanted to do. Obviously we executed it against Portland up three but we did not execute this time and the fact is we never should have even been in that position but we were and we didn't get the job done."
Pistons Guard Brandon Knight
(On mindset going in overtime) - "Basically you can't think about it, which is what happened. We have to try and focus on overtime, try to think about what we can do in overtime and play these five minutes tough."
(On losing concentration in overtime) - "As a team, I think it was a little bit demoralizing when he (Joe Johnson) hit that shot, but that's something we can't do in the future. We need to keep plugging, keep playing. We controlled most of the game, so we just have to continue plugging away, no matter if it's overtime or not."
(On foul to give in fourth quarter) - "I know we talked about it a little bit. I think we just decided to play it straight up and he (Joe Johnson) ended up hitting a good shot."
(On frustration of controlling whole game) - "It's frustrating, but we have another game tomorrow. That's the biggest thing about this league; you might be frustrated with one game, but there's nothing you can do to change that, we learn from it, look at it briefly. We can see we're getting better as a team. As a unit, we're competing now. We use what we learn in today's game and try to put what we learned into tomorrow's game."
Hawks Head Coach Larry Drew
(On the game) - "To me it's just an unbelievable win. I told the guys coming into this game that would be the best 4-15 team we will ever face. I have been watching this Pistons team; they play hard, they've been in games down the stretch. For us, it was a gutsy performance. We were literally dead in the water. I thought in that fourth quarter we hit a bad bump. We came out in the third quarter, picked it up with a little bit more energy and we got back into it. It seemed like we couldn't get over the hump. We tied the score and then gave up a three-point basket to (Jason) Maxiell. But as the game progressed our guys just kept fighting and then Joe (Johnson) hit the big shot in regulation. We scored the first two baskets in overtime and you could kind of see that just kind of deflated them a little bit. But, just a big-time performance from our guys."
(On last minutes of regulation) - "We just wanted to just to kind of hang in there. We hit a bad stretch in that fourth period but I still felt that if we got some good looks, got some guys to knock a couple of threes down we'll still be right there. Then Marvin (Williams) hit a big three and it gave us hope. In those tight situations, it really shows your character to see what you're made of. As I mentioned, for a minute it looked like we were dead in the water but our guys kept fighting and kept persevering through the tough times and come out with a big, big win against a very scrappy, blue-collar basketball club which this Pistons team is. They really played hard and I give Lawrence (Frank) credit. He's got this team playing really hard. They are much better than what their record is."
Hawks Guard Joe Johnson
(On fourth quarter) - "Fourth quarter we were able to come up with a few loose balls and a couple big shots to get back in it."
(On leading team) - "I just wanted to be aggressive especially once we got that chance to go in overtime. I know we had a chance. I really wanted to kind of validate that and be aggressive in the overtime. I wasn't looking for my shot, I was making plays for other guys."
(On game-tying shot) - "Honestly, when I got the steal I was reading up court. I didn't know if he (Coach Drew) wanted us to call a time out or not. I saw there was nobody calling a time out so I was kind of trying to look my man off. He was relaxed so I could get a shot but he wouldn't. I tried to back him down a little bit behind the three and try to pop back up so I could shoot and I was able to shoot a turn around three and I made it."
Hawks Forward Marvin Williams
"We all came in here at halftime and said we're going to put the first half behind us and play with a lot of energy and a lot more effort in the second half and I really think we did it."
(On his shooting performance) - "Hopefully I can say that I will have better nights than this one but I think so far this is probably the best it's felt since I've been shooting. Guys got me the ball and I was able to knock down shots."
(On overtime three pointer) - "Kirk (Hinrich) threw it to me and I turned. No one was even running towards me so the biggest thing I wanted to do was just slow down and take my time. Once I realized that I had enough time to get it off I really took my time and was able to make a good shot."

Agency says draft environmental study almost finished; plan sets up showdown between federal and state jurisdictions
By Summit Voice
SUMMIT COUNTY — Despite significant concerns and opposition from local neighborhoods, the U.S. Forest Service continues to push ahead with plans for a 30-mile motorized trail system on Tenderfoot Mountain.
According to the agency, the draft environmental study for the trail project is almost complete and scheduled to be released in the coming months.
As one of the final steps, the Forest Service is doing a sound test on June 21 to try and assess noise impacts to areas closest to the proposed motorcycle track, including the Tenderfoot Addition to Dillon, Corinthian Hills, Summerwood, Summit Cove, Tennis Townhomes, Saints Johns Condominiums, and The Enclave. The test will be done between 5 p.m. and 7:15 p.m.
An initial sound test conducted June 1o involved four motorcycles being ridden on trails closest to those neighborhoods. According to the Forest Service, a sound technician used a decibel meter to measure the sound — without success, primarily due to the background noise from traffic on Highway 6.
Residents of the area continue to pepper the Forest Service with critical emails, accusing the agency of kow-towing to special interests, while motorcycle enthusiasts complain that they are constantly losing access to public lands.
The Tenderfoot Mountain area has been scarred by years of unauthorized off-road use, which resulted in an extensive network of damaging trails and displacement of wildlife in the area, according to former Colorado Division of Wildlife manager Tom Kroening.
Over the years, there has been very little enforcement at the local or federal level and the motorized community has been unable to police itself, judging by the continued spread of renegade trails. The damage extended to county land, as well, including illegal use of heavy machinery to work on trails near the county landfill.
The process may lead to a showdown between federal and local powers, as the Forest Service seeks to meet its multiple use mandate, while local land-use plans have designated the area as non-motorized.
In a draft comment letter written last fall, the county commissioners said the proposal doesn't mesh with local land-use guidelines, as expressed by the Snake River Basin master plan. The commissioners also questioned the Forest Service's intention to evaluate the proposal with an Environmental Assessment, a level of analysis that, for an approval, must conclude with a formal Finding of No Significant Impact.
"The County believes that a motorized trail system of this extent would have significant impacts on the community, wildlife and natural environment within the Snake River Basin," the commissioners wrote in a letter to be finalized before the Nov. 20 comment deadline.
The county wanted the Forest Service to study the trail system with an Environmental Impact Statement, a higher level of analysis that requires the agency to discuss several different alternatives, potentially including a different location for a motorized trail system with less impact on the natural and human environment.
The Forest Service says it has addressed many of the major concerns in an informal pre-NEPA process by avoiding sensitive wildlife areas and laying out the trail system in a way that avoids conflicts with other users and residents.
The proposal includes the rehabilitation of 15 miles of existing trails in the same area. Some illegal user-created trails in the same area would be closed and rehabilitated. Read more about the proposal in this Summit Voice story.

With Jason Smith bringing his on-ice animosity to the City of Brotherly Lowe, the Oilers developed the need for a tough, menacing, stay-at-home defenceman.
Since they had a pretty good candidate already, one who's spent the last two seasons learning at the foot of the master, they figured it would be a good idea to lock him up.
So restricted free agent Matt Greene is an RFA no more after signing a two-year, $2.3-million contract yesterday.
"It feels great, this has been my dream all along to prove myself in an organization,"said the six-foot-three, 223-pounder.
"I definitely feel I was drafted by the right team. I've been happy since I got here and this makes it that much better.
"I want to stay with the Oilers for a long time."
His new deal averages out to just over $1 million a goal, if you go by Greene's numbers from last year (1-9-10), but the Oilers are paying for much more than his hands.
He's a physical presence who's crammed a lot of experience into his two seasons - between a trip to the Cup final in '06 and increased responsibility necessitated by last year's run of injuries on defence.
"Last year was a tough year, tough to play through, but looking back on it, it gave me a lot of ice time in a lot of different situations that I normally wouldn't have played in," said Greene, one of Edmonton's three second-round draft picks in 2002 (along with Jarret Stoll and Jeff Deslauriers).
"I'm just excited, this is a great commitment from them.
"Hopefully, I see my role increasing - playing more minutes and being more of a factor for this team moving forward."
That's the plan. Greene, meanwhile, owes a lot to his former captain.
"Everything," he said of Smith. "He was my mentor coming up. I lived in his basement for a lot of the time. When I finally did move out I left all of my stuff there just so I would have an excuse to go back there for dinner.
"He's been everything to me in terms of my development and where I am now."
You don't get better role models than Smith, who learned how to be a pro from the likes of Scott Stevens in New Jersey.
"When you get a little bit older you start picking players that you want to be like, who you want to emulate," said Greene, 24.
"He was always one of my favourite players, so to be able to sit in the same lockerroom as him was a great experience.And then to become great friends, living in the same house was unreal for me.
"Every day I woke up I pinched myself at the opportunity I had to learn from him, on and off the ice."
And now he'll be called on to help fill Smith's void.
"I don't think I can ever fill those shoes, the total package he brought - intensity, grittiness and leadership and professionalism.
"But I'm going to make a good effort trying to do what he taught me."

New Dead Rising & Lost Planet May Go Multiplatform
Capcom's Keiji Inafune has revealed that the company is planning new instalments in the Dead Rising and Lost Planet franchise, hinting that the forthcoming sequels may be released for multiple platforms.
To quote: "We're finally putting out new Dead Rising and Lost Planet games! As a main principle we're thinking about multi-platform, and expanding upon both slightly from the Xbox 360 versions," said Inafune, head of Research & Development and Online Business for the Japanese publisher.
Given that the majority of Capcom's franchises have been released for multiple consoles recently, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the publisher is thinking about taking the same route with sequels to Dead Rising and Lost Planet.
As many will no doubt recall, the original Lost Planet was released exclusively for the Xbox 360 back in 2006, before finally making its way to PlayStation 3 the following year. Similarly, Devil May Cry 4 eventually found its way onto Microsoft's console and PC having originally been conceived as a PS3 exclusive. Stay tuned.

Praise for teacher
To the editor:
I am writing to praise one of my teachers who does not receive as much appreciation as she deserves. Mrs. Karen Wessel, my earth science teacher, teaches eight periods of science at Summerville High School, without a prep period. These eight periods include one freshman study skills, one regular study skills, two seventh- and eighth-grade science classes, and four freshman earth science classes.
Somehow she manages to make it through the day with enough energy and patience. While teaching, she is always eager to answer questions and help us with whatever scientific problem we encounter. In addition, not once have I heard her complain about the amount of classes she has to teach or about the amount of grading she must do. I am so grateful that she puts so much time into helping us learn.

Obscure policy
To the editor:
In our collective zeal for distraction - Pelosi missteps, Perez Hilton antics, American Idol and so on - sinister clouds and black rain threats go unnoticed as the administration apparently resigns itself to acceptance of Iran's nuclear aims, without so much as stocking up umbrellas against possible fallout.
Whilst we gawk at the spectacles, ingredients for World War III just might be stewing, and a blame-game against Israel could be in the making. Portentously, Caroline Glick, deputy editor and op-ed writer for the Jerusalem Post, reports (obtained from Israeli government sources): "... we have learned that the [Obama] administration has made its peace with Iran's nuclear aspirations. Senior administration officials acknowledge as much in off-record briefings. It is true, they say, that Iran may exploit its future talks with the U.S. to run down the clock before they test a nuclear weapon. But, they add, if that happens, the U.S. will simply have to live with a nuclear-armed mullocracy."
Glick goes on to state that American officials would regard any harm to American interests stemming from Israeli attack(s) on Iranian nuclear facilities as Israel's fault, not Iran's nuclear menace toward the Jewish nation that many Arabs have constantly vowed to "wipe from existence."
This is the net-affect of the armature you elected, America, although the President is a likable sort, has good intentions and heartfelt aims to better America, and many hope he succeeds. The end result of his attitudes for appeasement and placations could well one day rain down on our childrens' heads. God forbid! But get those umbrellas ready, just in case.

Ignored conflict
To the editor:
It has recently come to my attention that there is a deadly conflict going on right now that seems to be both ignored and forgotten. I was almost as appalled by the fact that I had not heard of this as I was about it actually happening. Every day tens of thousands of people die in the Congo, many of which are women and small children. Hundreds of rape cases are reported every day and about a third of the victims contract HIV. The people who survive the slaughters deal with starvation and worse than harsh living conditions. They flee one area, only to find themselves stuck in another. They are displaced, trapped and tired.
This is not a new war, or a sudden conflict, but something that has been going on for more than a few years. You could say the Congo is blessed with their available resources, but that blessing has been warped into a curse. There is a large supply of tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold which is being traded with other countries to make mostly electronics like cell phones and computers. These mines are being raided, and the workers and people in surrounding villages are being slaughtered or abused. I'm asking that companies that use these materials to make their products pay attention. Take a look at who you're buying these minerals from and where their getting them. The people of the Congo have no one to protect them and nowhere to go. The least you can do is stop fueling the conflict. Stop giving these brigands a reason to kill.

Review laws
To the editor:
I would like to give my deepest sympathy to Officer Aitken and his family for his injuries from his car accident.
Thank God no one else was injured during Officer Aitken's pursuit. Some years ago in Tracy a pregnant young mother of two was killed by an Alameda County policeman in a pursuit. The policeman was driving through town at excessive speeds (over 60 mph) pursuing an alleged stolen car. It turned out it was not a stolen car.
Communities around the state should not be put at risk by excessive speeds by any drivers. Maybe it is time to review our laws. If 40 mph is an excessive speed on Lyons Bald Mountain Road then double that is way out of hand for anyone.

Review: Strawberry Kiwi
Posted: Oct 29, 2010 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: Nov 08, 2010 at 9:48 AM)For anyone who has had a strawberry kiwi (or kiwi strawberry as it's more commonly called) flavored juice drink, the flavor of Celsius Strawberry Kiwi should be very familiar. In this case, it's a noncarbonated formulation that's sweetened with sucralose, which does, as the can states, taste great. Functionally, this product follows the same format as the rest of the Celsius line, with vitamins (B and C) along with their MetaPlus blend (taurine, guarana, green tea extract, caffeine, glucuronolactone, and ginger root) added to create the product's energy and calorie burning functions. While we can't say that it works on the calorie burning front (Celsius has clinically validated this claim), it definitely has energy kick to it. As far as packaging goes, we bet that many consumers see this product and assume that it's carbonated (which it's not). Otherwise, there's a lot of stuff going on on the can, so if a consumer is new to Celsius, it might be a bit hard to figure out exactly what's going on. However, emphasizing the calorie burning and body fat reduction points seems smart — a large percentage of the population certainly wants that. Overall, it's a nice tasting product and, despite the busy looking can, the presentation is good.
