Re: Trplets :-)
Congrats and good luck to them! And thanks to you for helping them!
Rachelle, Joy, and Mirabelle are each pleasing names with something to offer. I don't think that Mirabelle and Joy are too different in length. They're sort of connected by virtues: Joy is a virtue, and Mirabelle means admirable/wonderful (I think?). So that's nice. Also if they're using Belle as a nickname, that adds some balance.
I think it's nice, if they use these two names, if they go with something with two syllables for the other name for some balance. Maybe something that's French in origin like Mirabelle and Rachelle, or at least European in feeling, but accessible in English like Joy for even more balance. Something that starts with a different letter than the other 3 and ideally doesn't end in - l. Maybe Sophie, Corinne, Helen(e), Alice/Elise, Aimee/Amy, Charlotte, Colette, Diane, Louise, Audrey, Lucie/Lucy, Pauline, Sabine, Susanne, Sylvie, Therese, or Simone. Some of these balance more than others, but for me they all work.
One other choice besides those above might be to take the meaning of Joy/happiness but go more French or at least Latinate/longer: Felice, Felicia, Beatrice, Beatrix, and Letitia come to mind.
The difficulty for me, if they care (and I encourage them not to if they don't want to : D) is not length, it's more that Rachelle and Mirabelle really go together by sound with that elle thing, and then Joy is different. Now, maybe if her middle name is Noelle that will help pull her in a bit? That does seem a bit better. Especially if the third name doesn't end in -l.
And of course, with Rachelle being so much older and going by Rocky, it's not quite as close somehow as if it were a 2 year old Rachelle going by that name and a newborn Mirabelle, you know?
If they are still somewhat flexible on Mirabelle, I think Miranda or Mireille (Meer-AY) are two great options that relate to Mirabelle by sound and meaning, but aren't as close to Rachelle. Mireille is a little close to Marie to my ear, but I think it's different enough.
I am sure the girls will grow into their names beautifully even if every suggestion here is disregarded. They are ultimately just thoughts : D.
Best wishes!

Re: Trplets :-)
If the length of Mirabelle and Joy bothers them, how about using Mira and Joy together? Mira is such a pretty name on it's own to me. If they like Belle as a nn, the third daughter could be called Belle. Mira, Belle, and Joy. or Belle, Joy, and a third 1 syllable name.
or they could try: Mirabelle ___, Joy-Anna Noelle, and ____. (not sure if they are open to modifying Joy or not).
I also think Noelle is a very sweet sister to Joy. I wouldn't use Mirabelle here though. I'd look to pair Noelle and Joy with something like Felicity, Faith, Gracie, or Emma?Wife to one great guy

Re: Trplets :-)
Thanks everyone. I was thinking (haven't seen them today) like crunchymama said, maybe they could move Noelle to be the fn of triplet #2. Rachelle, Joy________, Noelle__________, and _______________.
I'm curious now. I'll call her right now. I might make a new thread about it if she likes the idea. If she doesn't, oh well, we'll keep thinking. Yeah, all my friends know that I'm a name-nerd, so they all turn to me for their baby naming advice.(\_/)

BOSTON, March 13 (UPI) -- U.S. researchers found red meat was associated with an increased risk of mortality, cardiovascular disease and cancer, but healthy protein reduces the risk.
Lead author An Pan, a research fellow, senior author Frank Hu, a professor of nutrition, both of the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston and colleagues observed 37,698 men from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study for up to 22 years and 83,644 women in the Nurses' Health Study for up to 28 years. The subjects wee free of cardiovascular disease and cancer at the beginning of the study. Study participants completed questionnaires on food consumption every four years.
"This study provides clear evidence that regular consumption of red meat, especially processed meat, contributes substantially to premature death," said Hu and Pan said in a statement.
The study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found a combined 23,926 deaths were documented in the two studies, of which 5,910 were from cardiovascular disease and 9,464 from cancer.
One daily serving of unprocessed red meat -- about the size of a deck of cards -- was associated with a 13 percent increased risk of mortality, and one daily serving of processed red meat -- one hot dog or two slices of bacon -- was associated with a 20 percent increased risk.
However, replacing a serving of red meat with fish reduced the mortality risk by 7 percent, 14 percent for poultry, 19 percent for nuts, 10 percent for legumes, 10 percent for low-fat dairy products and 14 percent for whole grains.

We were there last Sunday with our three girls, and the place was amazing. Granted, it is a bit of a drive from the Boise area, but well worth the travel. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable about the animals, and the amount of hands on your got to have was awesome. When did most of us ever think we'd get the chance to feed or pet a kangaroo-especially in Idaho? The price was reasonable. We will definitely be going again.

But on the show, Bristol earned praise for her down-to-earth demeanor and lack of Hollywood polish, riding a wave of voter popularity all the way to the finals of the show's 11th season. She took third place. Since Dancing with the Stars, she's released a book, moved to Los Angeles, and begun filming a reality show for the BIO channel.

The Pillars
of Islam
Food is an important part of every humans' existence.
Without it we would die.
However, for several reasons people deny themselves food, and sometimes water too:
Starter Activity
What do the words 'fasting', 'starving' and 'dieting' mean? What are the similarities and differences between them?
Fasting means denying oneself food deliberately for a religious reason. This said, some people today fast for charity (sponsored), or for the health benefits to the digestive system of occasional fasting.
Starving means that you cannot get either enough food, or any food. It occurs during famines, or in areas where people are so poor that they can't afford the basics of life.
Dieting means avoiding certain foods, or denying oneself food for the purposes of losing weight or becoming more healthy.
Sawm roughly translates as "fasting" in Arabic.
For a whole lunar month of the Muslim calendar known as Ramadan.…
Muslims will not EAT or DRINK anything during the hours of daylight!
This statement always gets the same responses:
What! ALL day- NO WATER even?
Yes! No water during DAYLIGHT hours.
Does everyone have to do it- even sick people and little children?
No! Islam is very practical. If it would injure one's health, or that person is very young or old they don't have to fast with the others. You can even get special exemption if you are an athlete training, or have exams.
3. Does it mean you can binge at night?
No! Islam states that only moderate meals should be taken in the morning (break-fast) and after sunset.
It may seem strange to many people that Muslims choose to give up such a lot for this month of Ramadan.
Even Christians today usually only give up a luxury during Lent (the weeks preceding Easter) e.g. chocolate or alcohol.
So why do it? Do you have any suggestions?
In pairs, use the pictures on the next slide to help come up with some ideas.
You hopefully got some of the following…
More time freed-up to study the Qur'an.
A statement to Allah about the importance of studying and worshipping Him, relative to even such an important task as eating/drinking.
A unifying experience, bringing the whole UMMAH (community) of Muslims together, whether rich, poor, Arabic, Asian, European etc.
An exercise in EMPATHY (or feeling for) those without life's basic needs.
Empathy for the poor and starving.
Sometimes the only way to really understand how it feels to do, or be something is to try it.
This is called empathy, because you are putting yourself into another's place to experience what they do.
We live in a world where, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO):
1/3 of the world is over-fed
1/3 is under-fed
1/3 is starving
Recently the issue of African poverty was discussed at the G8 conference of nations, at the same time as several LIVE 8 concerts organised by Sir Bob Geldof amongst others. These concerts aimed to raise awareness of the issues surrounding poverty.
See a short film outlining why the concerts were held by clicking here
The ONE campaign involves some of the world's most famous actors, asking for people to consider the plight of Africa

We live fast-pace lives, we want more 'things'- the latest mobile phone, iPod, plasma screen TVs, designer clothes and trendy (but not TOO trendy- so last week!) music.
We think they make us who we are, and that they make us better people.
The truth is they don't and the example of Sawm teaches us that there are higher things in life- even more vital than physical needs.
It also says that we should think about the suffering on earth and by experience push ourselves to try and stop it

Blueberry wine is considered one of the easier wines to create at home. The beverage is tangy and sweet, full of both flavour and antioxidants. The healthy berries fight disease, nutritionists agree, and are generally affordable in several varieties. The wine is aromatic and dry, and can be made either light or full-bodied.
Boil water in a large pot. Wash the blueberries and crush them. You don't need to pulverise or juice them, just break the skin so the fermentation process can begin.
Put the blueberries in a 7 to 10-gallon fermentation container made from stainless steel or food-quality plastic. Add the raisins, sugar, acid blend, enzyme, crushed Campden tablet and yeast energizer. Add the boiling water to melt the sugar. Stir.
Let the water cool to 21.1 degrees Celsius. Add the yeast and stir. Cover it lightly with a cloth, such as a clean dish towel.
Stir it every day, for one week. "Rack" the wine by straining the pulp and siphoning the blueberry juice into a second fermentation container at the end of the week.
Rack the wine again after three weeks, and then again at two months. After that point, wait until the wine becomes clear, and rack it again. Bottle it. Age the bottles one year before opening them and enjoying the wine.
Boil the water and sugar in a large pot. Crush the blueberries in a second container, and pour the boiling water and sugar over the fruit.
Let the mixture cool to 21.1 degrees C, and add a Campden tablet, yeast energizer, yeast nutrient and acid blend. Cover it with a cloth for 12 hours. Add activated yeast, stir and cover. Stir daily for a week, then rack the mix into a new container, and seal it with an airlock.
Rack the fruit again at 30 days, and then at every 60 days until the wine becomes clear. Rack the clear wine into bottles, and drink after one year.
The wine chemicals and clarifiers, the acid blend, enzyme and Campden tablets, are sold online, and at brewery and winemaking supply stores. A glass container makes a good second-stage fermentation chamber because you can easily see the clarity of the wine.
Tips and warnings

It's safe to say that most people never give a thought to their knee cartilage — which does much of the work of the knee joint — until something goes wrong and normal activities are painful or impossible. But for those who don't yet need or desire artificial knee joint replacement, the University of Maryland offers several versions of cartilage transplant therapy — including a brand-new procedure called Cartiform — that can help these individuals move as they once did and regain their previous lifestyle.
The human body's own intact cartilage is still the optimal material for lining knee joints, but car accidents, falls, and sports- and work-related injuries can destroy some or most of the articular cartilage in knees. To replace this missing or damaged material, cartilage transplants using either patient or cadaver cells can be the next best thing.
"Commonly these patients have been told they don't have options, that they'll eventually need a knee replacement and will just have to deal with the pain until they're older," says R. Frank Henn, M.D., an assistant professor of orthopaedics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and a team physician for the University of Maryland Terrapins. "When they get to me they're disheartened and then encouraged simply because we have options for them. I have to prep their expectations for the road to recovery — it's usually a year before they get back to athletic-type activities — but when they get back to that, they're a different person and their family gets their loved one back."
In use for more than 20 years, autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) remains the gold standard of knee cartilage transplant procedure. The two-stage therapy involves arthroscopically removing a small piece of normal cartilage tissue from a lesser load-bearing area of the joint and growing those cells in vitro over six to eight weeks from a few hundred thousand to 30 to 40 million. The treatment, known by the trade name Carticel, later re-implants the cells under a patch, where they grow to fill the "pothole" defect in the cartilage, Dr. Henn explains.
"The advantage is that it's autologous tissue," he says. "It takes time to grow — about 12 to 18 months — to get back to the point where it has an impact on the patient's activities. But it's appealing to use the patient's own cells to do that. All other transplants use donor tissue."
While the remaining options to transplant knee cartilage all involve donor cells, a huge benefit is that such tissue is "immunoprivileged" with no lymphatic or blood vessels, so it's isolated from the immune system and unable to cause rejection, Dr. Henn says. These cartilage replacement procedures use cadaver tissue — as is the case with many organ and tissue transplants — but immunosuppressive drugs are typically required to prevent rejection in other types of transplants.
"We're always concerned about disease transmission with donor cells, but fortunately it's more theoretical now and donors are tested first," Dr. Henn says.
One well-established donor transplant option is known as a fresh osteochondral graft, in which both bone and cartilage are transplanted. Optimal patients for this procedure have more extensive bone and cartilage damage, and the donor bone melds into the "host" bone after this single-stage surgery.
"There's no initial procedure needed to harvest tissue from cartilage," Dr. Henn says. "And it's cheaper than ACI from a societal standpoint. But one of the downsides is that graft availability is limited. We need healthy, normal cartilage, and donors have to be young and healthy. We have to wait for donors to become available for many of these patients."
Two new advances in knee cartilage transplantation involve the transfer of only cadaver cartilage tissue. The first, which has been available for the last several years, is called DeNovo NT and uses live juvenile donor cartilage that is cut into small pieces and implanted into the defect in the patient's cartilage with a fibrin glue that seals the cartilage in place. Because juvenile cartilage is obtained from young donors, the cells are numerous and have great healing potential, Dr. Henn says.
Only recently available, the newest knee cartilage transplant option is known as Cartiform and originates from Osiris Therapeutics in Columbia, Md. Instead of trimming cartilage into small pieces and waiting for it to grow, Cartiform uses mature cartilage and pokes tiny holes throughout, like a mesh, that allow the host tissue to grow into it, Dr. Henn says. Like DeNovo NT, it is also affixed to the patient's bone and cartilage using a fibrin glue.
"This product and approach holds a lot of promise," he says. "It seems to solve the problem of getting mature cartilage tissue alone to heal to the bone."
To refer a patient for consultation, please call 1-800-373-4111. For an urgent transfer, please call University of Maryland ExpressCare at 410-328-1234.

wikiHow to Explain Judaism to a Christian Child
You're Christian, and want to teach your child about Judaism? Are you a Jewish kid but have a Christian friend who just doesn't get it? WikiHow can help you explain. Keep reading for detailed instructions.
1Tell your child that Judaism is the religion that believes in one God. They DON'T worship idols or people.
2Tell your child that Abraham became the first Jew by making a covenant with God.
3Tell your child that both Jews and Christians are children of Abraham (as are Muslims and Baha'is).
4Tell you child that while Christians believe that Lord Jesus is the holiest person who ever lived, (because they also believe he is the son of God) Jews believe that Moses was their greatest prophet, because God gave the law to the Jewish people through him (however, Judaism is not centered on Moses in the same way Christianity is centered on Jesus Christ).
5Tell your child that Judaism was the religion that Jesus had belonged to, when he was on Earth.
6Tell your child that Jewish people worship the same god as Christians do, but do not believe the Messiah has come, like the Christians do.
7Tell your child that while Christians call the first part of the Holy Bible, The Old Testament, the Jews call it the Torah. Emphasize that it is the same book and that Christianity came from Judaism.
8Tell your child that while Christians worship on Sundays at church, Jews worship on Saturdays in a synagogue.
9Tell your child that while Christians eat whatever they want, Jews follow a special set of dietary laws called "kosher."
10Tell your child about parallel holidays or rituals between Christians & Jews. For example, Jews celebrate Hanukkah while Christians celebrate Christmas; Jews celebrate Passover, while Christians celebrate Easter, etc.
11Tell your child that while Christians have their babies Baptized, Jews have a baby naming ceremony for boys called a Brit Milah and naming ceremony for girls called a Zevad Bat.
12Tell your child that instead of Communion and Confirmation, Jewish boys have Upsherins and Bar Mitzvahs, while Jewish girls have first candle lighting ceremonies, and Bat Mitzvahs.
Community Q&A
Do Jewish people believe in Jesus being God's son?wikiHow ContributorJewish people only believe that Jesus is God's son in the sense that we are all children of God. They do not believe that He is God's only begotten son, as Christians do.
What does sunset mean to Judaism?Sam StanleyIt's the start of the next day. We use the lunar calendar, so days start at sunset.
Do the Jews have anyone in their religion that they think is more important than Jesus?In Judaism, Moses is the greatest Prophet, but, they believe that when the Messiah comes, he will be greater than Moses.
Does the Jewish religion believe in an afterlife?wikiHow ContributorSome do, some do not. Those that do believe in an "Olam Habah," or "a world to come" where they will be close to God, similar to Christian heaven.
Did Jews view Jesus as a false prophet?wikiHow ContributorMost Jews of Jesus day viewed Him as a Prophet sent from God but they did not believe He was the Messiah, the one Prophesied to save them from their sins. Jesus' disciples however knew He was the Son of God from Heaven.
What does Judaism think about Abraham?Sam StanleyHe founded the religion. He had a whole covenant with G-d, and is the founder of the lineage of all Jews (except converts).

- After you teach your child about Judaism, you may want to tell him/her about other faiths as well.
- Encourage your child to have friends from the Jewish faith.
- If your child (or you) still has questions on Judaism, make an appointment to speak with a rabbi at a local synagogue, temple or Jewish community center.
- You might want to consider buying The Jewish Book of Why and/or The Jewish Book of Why for Children, both excellent resources for questions on Judaism.
- Try to avoid summing up the differences between Judaism & Christianity by saying that a Jewish person is someone who doesn't believe in Jesus, because you may inadvertently cause your child to become bigoted towards his/her Jewish peers.

Product Description
Mermaid or Siren mold with textured background. Mold is approx 55 mm tall, Mermaid itself about 42 mm.
You will receive one like this, not necessarily the same mold color, but of course this won't affect your sculpted piece. The quality will always be very good as I'll test each mold. For the pendant/necklace example I cut it a slightly different and smaller shape using a smaller cutter. This size would create a nice pendant.
You can create your own pendants with a variety of finishes including that with an imitative bone finish which is great for Vegans or those who don't like animal parts
Stamping with this mold is easy. Just brush on a little bit of water and you're good to go as it is a natural mold release compound and doesn't react with the mold. Premo clays work best with this type of mold, but if you do use Fimo, then use cornstarch for release by dusting the Fimo with it, rather than the mold. Don't use water with Fimo as it will make the clay sticky.
Please allow 1 to 2 days for the creation of your piece.
Sample not included
If you have a design you want translated...I do custom work for both polymer clay as well as for Silkscreens. If you have a black and white drawing ready, message me!
For Tutorial purchases, please download them within 7 days or the link/s won't work and then I have to email you the files. I don't mind doing that but it might take me a day or two to get to your message. So much to do! :D

LG Achieves sale of five million LTE Smartphones around the world!
LG announced that that it reached a new milestone with global sales of five million LTE smartphones to date. After reaching sales of four million LTE smartphones last month, an additional one million smartphones were sold in the month of July – one LTE smartphone roughly every two and a half seconds.
LG released the first LTE smartphone "RevolutionTM by LG" in the U.S. in May of last year through the largest carrier Verizon Wireless and expanded its LTE target markets with its global LTE smartphones.
Focusing on the key markets with LTE capabilities, LG saw strong acceptance by offering diverse LTE smartphones according to consumer needs. Currently, more than ten LG LTE smartphones are available in countries where LTE service is available, including Korea, U.S., Japan and select markets in Europe and Asia.
Although Optimus LTE takes the title of the most popular LTE smartphone from LG with two million in sales, Optimus Vu: has sold over 500,000 units since March, demonstrating the device's acceptance as it prepares for its global roll-out. And with the release of the industry's first 2GB RAM LTE smartphone Optimus LTE II in May, LG saw the fastest sales among all LTE smartphones with this device reaching half a million units in the first 70 days.

Jim Hood doesn't think his fellow Mississippians can be trusted to run elections fairly.
Even with more black elected officials than any state in the country, even with courthouses and city halls around the state under majority-black control, the Democratic attorney general still believes that Mississippi could revert back to its segregationist past if left to its own devices.

Peeks through the trees.. Ohh I see the lake
:) thanks Chickie
Beautiful. Thanks Sandy!!
Sounds like a good plan. Everyone learns how to do it that way.
The rule at the lake was always...."You catch 'em, you clean 'em" (no matter WHAT our age)....unless it involved fine fileting....then mom did it!
It was worth it then, but I try not to eat like that anymore. LOL
Thank you PLG and Jack.
mimi, I'm on my way!
beautiful, i love it!
Tex, I'll meet you at Red Lobster! You come meet us too, chickiemama, we'll just buy you biscuits. Nice puzzle!
Very inviting! Thanks, CM!
Sound like it may be worth the time tu scale them!
Love those Red Lobster bisquits. Not so much for all the buttery food they serve.
Oh morris, I can remember the flavor of pan fish I mom used to fry when we were kids. And that crispy salted skin. Yummy
Beautiful trees. I would have no idea how to skin a fish, much less how to cook it. Red Lobster, here I come!
Cat fish are the hardest tu clean, getting that skin off! I just fillet the pan fish also. I don't bother scaling them. You really do not lose that much meat. I know, some people say that the flavor is in the skin.
Deal! I can clean and filet catfish, but hate scaling pan fish.
Pretty picture!! You catch 'em, I clean 'em, was that the deal.

Police have arrested a suspect in the attack on a woman who was pushed into her East Village apartment and raped early Monday.
The woman, 22, told police she was walking into her apartment near East Seventh Street about 4:15 a.m. when the attacker shoved her inside and raped her, the NYPD says.
Police say he did not know the victim.
After being questioned in the attack, 32-year-old Fermin Flores of Washington Heights was arrested on charges of rape, burglary, criminal sex act and strangulation, police said.
Law enforcement sources told NBC 4 New York Flores did not make incriminating statements during questioning but the victim was able to identify him as her attacker.
He declined to comment to reporters after he was processed at the police station Tuesday night.
Flores has no prior criminal history, according to sources. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.

Despite his club's offensive struggles, Darryl Sutter sees no scenario in which he'd be part of the Ilya Kovalchuk sweepstakes he's been linked to.
"He's a star player who is unrestricted next year, so you'd have to give up players under contract for a guy who isn't -- I don't think that's a move that's in the best interest of the organization," said Sutter, who told the Sun Saturday he has no plans to do anything radical such as trading Dion Phaneuf or Robyn Regehr before the deadline.
"When you have a $7-million player (Jarome Iginla), you aren't going to be able to have a $10-million player, too."
Kovalchuk is currently a $6.4-million cap hit but is asking for $11 million annually from Atlanta, prompting a likely move as a rental player.
Sutter insists that while a lack of cap space will restrict many teams from being active at the March 3 swap deadline, it's not an issue tying his hands.
"Today, we are 17th or 18th in payroll and 22 teams are over $55 million (the cap is $56.8 million) -- not a whole lot of teams can move. For us, salaries are not the issue."
Sutter simply believes his current crew can work its way out of a funk that has the rest of the city up in arms.
Another concern many Flames have these days is the possibility of losing forward Rene Bourque to unrestricted free agency this summer.
"We've talked to Bourque and Olli (Jokinen) off and on all year, but it's not to the point we're going to talk about finalizing any sort of deal," said the Flames GM.
"I think it can be a distraction. It's not a priority."
Now more notes, quotes and anecdotes from a sports scribe who can't help but believe former Red Deer Rebels sparkplug Colby Armstrong will be a Flame by season's end.
Hope for current Flames fans in the form of a funny tale from former Flame Steve Konroyd following a 9-1 spanking to Hartford in 1986 that was the team's 11th loss in a row. "(Coach) Badger Bob (Johnson) was always so positive -- he came in and talked about the goal we scored! Then Riser (forward Doug Risebrough) came in and tore us (apart)." The Flames went on to their first Stanley Cup final. Maybe the current Flames need a player in the room to go ballistic ... If you think the pair of nasty hockey hits in junior are sickening, I defy you to find something sadder than the Under-10 hockey brawl in Russia on YouTube ... Longtime Calgary residents can appreciate the great sign spotted at the Flames game Thursday: "Lanny sent me" ... Even though his club had the weekend off, Flames captain Jarome Iginla's bad luck continued Saturday when he was the first Flames player eliminated from the Flames Ambassadors charity poker tourney. The fifth annual event raised more than $300,000 for the Flames Foundation for Life.
Last chance to own a piece of Canadian history while also helping the people of Haiti. The jacket Olympic speed skating queen Cindy Klassen wore into the closing ceremony as Canada's flag bearer in Turin is up for auction on ebay.ca until 10:20 a.m. this morning. All proceeds go to Haitian relief efforts via the Red Cross. Latest bid is $800 ... Can someone explain why torch organizers felt the need to fly American Olympic gymnast-turned-Dancing with the Stars champ Shawn Johnson into Calgary last week to haul the flame? ... As the father of a three-year-old daughter, I appreciate the magic of Disney. But why does Disney always pick on hockey when it comes to making the cheesiest movies of all time? ... Air Canada gave Stanley Cup keeper Mike Bolt quite a scare last week when he was told upon arrival in Vancouver the world's most famous trophy didn't make the flight. Instead, a New Jersey airport employee sent it to the last place in North America it belongs -- Toronto.

With Castillo ailing, Cora starts at second
With Castillo ailing, Cora starts at second
NEW YORK -- With Mets second baseman Luis Castillo nursing a nagging left foot injury, Alex Cora was in the starting lineup Wednesday for the second time this homestand.
Cora laid down a bunt single in the Mets' six-run eighth inning Tuesday and scored the go-ahead run on Chris Carter's pinch-hit double.
For the season, Cora's on-base percentage (.308) is significantly lower than Castillo's (.364), but manager Jerry Manuel is content to leave Cora in the second spot in the batting order.
"Alex is playing real well, he's doing a lot of good things," Manuel said. "I think it keeps him in a nice little rhythm also. They bring about the same, so if we can keep both of them fresh, I think it helps us a great deal."

The New Swift: What Is Different
Its greatest. Its best. And yes! It could be the one to take the crown as the best sedan this year. The all new Maruti Suzuki Swift has a lot of changes inside and outside as well. Learn more about the new Maruti Suzuki Swift.
Do not waste more time to rent the car, a car that is not worth the praise, but used to go to most of the interior and exterior has been completely reworked. So people, do not expect a face-lift, if you thought about it. Think of a pack of new entry door.
The new Maruti Suzuki Swift is built on a completely new platform. Which is just a size between the old Swift and SX4. This makes the new model, more than 50 mm, giving a decent legroom in the back. Huge 14-inch wheels were also added to the base and releases the middle, while the top end with 15-inch alloys with high-end version with ABS with EBD and dual SRS airbags.
Not enough! Check this. The new design follows the same fast silhouette, but the little details like the headlights, wheel arches and rear lights have been improved to give a feeling of exclusivity.
Maruti Suzuki has been criticized for using some cheap plastic interiors. However, this is certainly destined to become the new Swift. Kizashi, based on the control panel controls the steering and yes, the plastics are of much better quality of fresh new look inside the dashboard, the rear seat.
The Driver Information System also has been updated and reminds you if you have not fastened your seat belt, or if there is low fuel with an audio warning. Adding to such little gizmos, the car also has tilt steering in all versions and retractable cup holders. An all digital integrated stereo also comes in the top-end versions of the petrol and diesel mills.
As for the rear legroom. Since the car is on an all new longer platform, the rear space has also increased. The NVH levels have also been improved.

Update: 22 August 2011: Please see: watirwebdriver.com for a detailed guide to Watir-WebDriver
Update: 22 July 2011: I have updated quite a number of things that have changed since the earlier releases
Watir-WebDriver is a really great tool; Jari Bakken's done a really good job of it. There's not a huge amount on the web about it, how to get it up and running and use it. I'm aiming to fix that here.
For those who don't know what Watir-WebDriver is, it's basically a nice Watir (ruby) implementation on WebDriver, so it gives you four browsers (three real, one headless) using one neat API, out of the box. The thing I like about it is you don't need to use JRuby (like Celerity), which means it plays nice with Cucumber (although Cucumber does work under JRuby).
I've written about how Watir, WebDriver and Selenium all fit together before, so this post aims to be a lot more hands-on.
Getting Watir-WebDriver Running
There are essentially two components you need: the Watir-WebDriver ruby gem, and the remote WebDriver server. The remote WebDriver server is only needed if you want to run your tests in headless mode without a real browser (or want to use Opera). You obviously need ruby first but I won't detail that here. You can find info about ruby versions etc. at watir.com. If you're on Mac or Linux, I strongly suggest using RVM and bundler.
The Watir-WebDriver ruby gem
It's a simple matter of opening a command prompt and typing:
gem install watir-webdriver(windows); or
sudo gem install watir-webdriver(osx or linux – better to use RVM and bundler)
The remote WebDriver Server
This is the slightly tricky part. This is so that WebDriver can run headless without a real browser, and isn't needed for real browser support (bar Opera). The quickest easiest way to get up and running is to download this java jar file, open a command prompt where you have saved it, and run:
java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.0b1.jar
You can also specify the startup and max memory allocated, which is handy when running large test suites.
java -Xms1024M -Xmx2048M -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.0a7.jar
You need to have this java server running whenever using WebDriver, but it's easy enough to bootstrap it.
Update: Jari has pointed out you can run the server programmatically which is even better:
require 'selenium/server' server = Selenium::Server.new("/path/to/jar", :background => true) server.start # run your tests server.stop
First Impressions
Waiting in Watir-WebDriver doesn't seem as straightforward as with Watir, probably due to the underlying drivers, but fortunately there's an inbuilt waiting library to use (also available in Watir 1.6.7+):
Watir::Wait.until { ... }: where you can wait for a block to be true
object.when_present.set: where you can do something when it's present
object.wait_until_present:; where you just wait until something is present
object.wait_while_present:; where you just wait until something disappears
Hello Watir-WebDriver
It seems pertinent to start with a google search example.
Hello Watir-WebDriver in three browsers
These three browsers seem to work very similarly, but obviously Internet Explorer will only run on Microsoft Windows.
require 'rubygems' require 'watir-webdriver' b = Watir::Browser.new :chrome b.goto 'www.google.com' b.text_field(:name => 'q').set 'Watir-WebDriver' b.button(:name => 'btnG').click b.div(:id => 'resultStats').wait_until_present puts "Displaying page: '#{b.title}' with results: '#{b.div(:id => "resultStats").text}'" b.close
The only difference for Firefox:
b = Watir::Browser.new :firefox
The only difference for IE:
b = Watir::Browser.new :ie
Hello Watir-WebDriver in Headless (HTML Unit)
Sample Timings
As an experiment, I looped the Google Search script above 100 times to measure and compare the execution times.
- Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7: 400 seconds
- Firefox 3.6 on Mac OSX: 277 seconds
- Headless HTMLUnit on Mac OSX: 269 seconds
Very surprisingly, the headless run wasn't much quicker at all. This may be due to running the test on Google over the Internet and not a local application.
Caveat Emptor
There are a number of differences between Watir-WebDriver and Watir. The main ones that are important to me are:
Zero based indexing as opposed to 1 based
For example,
In Watir/FireWatir: this finds the first table on a page:
puts b.table(:index => 1).text
But in Watir-WebDriver, it finds the second table on a page.
Attaching to windows
Attaching to new windows (for example pop-ups) has been fairly straightforward in Watir with its attach method, which is missing in Watir-WebDriver. It looks like you can iterate through a collection of windows in Watir-WebDriver using
browser.windows, but I haven't tried this out yet.
Watir-WebDriver is a very solid testing tool that uses a great browser automation engine (WebDriver) with a clean ruby API (Watir). I believe it will be a popular choice amongst testing teams, particually those using it for ATDD through Cucumber and running it as headless on a continuous integration server.

Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffYay! 5th review I've negged so far.
Album Rating: 2.0cool
jollyjoel is just a prick, ignore him
review is cool
Album Rating: 3.5Joel, have some composure please?
Album Rating: 4.0this is actually a well-written review though, classic case of sputnik users negging people for disagreeing with them
Album Rating: 3.5giorgio was like my favorite song on the album lol. i wish they would do more shit with a live drummer
doubt this is good
Album Rating: 4.5 | Sound OffYeah, that's right, I negged because I disagree with this review. Is there anything wrong with that? Review is pretty well-written but I don't agree with the opinion of the music.
Album Rating: 2.5this review is actually good, regardless of the rating, hes got lots of valid arguments.
the other dudes review was just raving about how it was the greatest electronic album of all time,
after it leaked 2 hours prior to his review.
"the melodies through virtually the entire album are as uninteresting and generic as the instrumentals
very very very true.
Album Rating: 3.5"Was this Review Well Written?"
Album Rating: 3.5I find that both of the reviews for this so far are pretty bad. This one being much better than the other, of course.
Album Rating: 3.0
Yeah, that's right, I negged because I disagree with this review. Is there anything wrong with that? Review is pretty
well-written but I don't agree with the opinion of the music.
Album Rating: 5.0I do not envy the people that review this album. That being said, both reviews have positive and negative sides to them. I would like to see an actually well written review on this.
This album isn't as bad as HammrHead makes it out to be, nor is it as great as KnootsKnocks thinks it is.
"If anything, they captured the feeling you felt sneezing in the stuffy Goodwill while the Bee Gees played over the speakers as you stared at the cracked and smudged jewel case to the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack because you thought it was a Bowie record."
Such a pretentious and unnecessary comment.
Album Rating: 3.5 | Sound OffDecent review, butthurt itt
Album Rating: 3.5oh look, foxblood being the voice of reason on sputnik yet again, what a surprise. ;)
The review was really well written... You're just going have to have to deal with these elitist
assholes when you first start submitting reviews, but don't worry it gets better. I don't really
understand how this review is bad at all actually...
I think there's so much dissonance between opinions because it's a good album but an awful Daft Punk album. I was hyped for beefy french house beats, not this electronic disco funk.
Ugh, ever since that Tron soundtrack, they've gone down the shitter...
Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound OffOther than mocking some of the guests on the album, Bowie, and the Bee Gees, review had many good points.

In this everybody-despises-the-NCAA culture, a petition filed on behalf of Northwestern University football players Tuesday to form a union — which could produce a domino effect leading to significant change in the college athletics governing body — was just a matter of time.
Just look around the NCAA landscape. Players see skyrocketing conference television contracts, coaching salaries soaring to absurd levels and no compensation for their labor beyond a scholarship.
Now that a college football playoff is going to add $90 million-plus annually to the five power conferences from 2014-25, did you think the players were going to sit idly by and not push for a bigger slice of the pie?
"How can they call this amateur athletics when our jerseys are sold in stores and the money we generate turns coaches and commissioners into multimillionaires?" said Northwestern senior quarterback Kain Colter, who leads the player charge for the union initiative.
It's a fair point, but this process to unionize college athletes, which has the financial support of the United Steelworkers, promises to be convoluted and lengthy. Whether or not the NLRB grants the players' request, there likely will be appeals and federal court involvement.
Also, this petition applies only to private schools. There's a different set of rules for athletes at public universities such as Florida and Texas, which must plow through state regulations to become a union.
The first hurdle is the union petition. Northwestern players must convince the NLRB they are employees, not "student-athletes," an accepted legal term for 60 years. But even if a players' union doesn't become reality, preventing them from securing the ultimate leverage of going on strike, players could reach their stated goal of improvements in medical treatment. The players want better benefits to pay for injuries that make impact beyond college, especially concussions.
Of course, any union is bound to seek compensation beyond a scholarship for the players, an issue already being addressed in legislation and pending lawsuits against the NCAA.
While the pay-for-play cause has some merit, there's a lot of hidden danger as well. The treasure chests of all FBS teams and Division I basketball schools are not created equal. While Ohio State and Clemson might have no problem handling an athletic stipend, the budget hit is much greater for San Jose State or Buffalo.
When the Big Ten negotiates a new TV contract in 2016, which I believe will trigger the formation of four 16-team power conferences, those schools can better afford to compensate players beyond a scholarship.
One thing is certain: Union or no union, NCAA presidents will have to make financial concessions to the players. The greedy environment they let run wild in college athletics practically mandates it.

Affordable Small Space Standing Desk?
Q: I'm not on the computer all day, but I do sit in front of a laptop long enough each evening to realize it's been adding to the muffin top-itis. I wanted to try working for those few hours standing, but the cool standing desks you've posted are kind of pricey and take up a lot of room. Is there an "entry level" standing desk you could recommend for a tiny apartment dweller on a budget?
Sent by Leslie
Editor - Just last month, Michelle shared her $30 standing desk, which is easy to put together for a small space if you've got an IKEA close by. And there are quite a few DIY solutions ready to inspire you.
Pre-made solutions are a little pricier, especially if you're trying to avoid some shoddily made product that could tip over or simply fall apart. The OFM Multipurpose Split-Level Stand was designed as presentation/podium solution, but also works as a standing design, since you've got to separate platforms for document and laptop placement; it looks fairly well made, like a optimized drafting table. It's $72.99, so not as cheap as the IKEA solution above, but neither a bank buster if you're looking for something to use for a few years, but that can easily hide away while not in use.

Selectmen to meet with lawyer about treasurer questionClosed-door meeting planned for Jan. 24
Union — Selectmen will meet behind closed doors with the town attorney to discuss the town's treasurer and issues surrounding the position in recent months.
Some town officials have argued for changing the treasurer position from elected to appointed, in part to make the treasurer accountable to town office leadership.
Residents voted to keep the treasurer's position an elected rather than an appointed role in the November election. It was reported in late November that 25-year Union Treasurer Linda McAllister was not attending work for medical reasons.
In an email Jan. 21, Town Manager Jay Feyler said the McAllister's lawyer has contacted the town's attorney.
Selectmen plan to meet with the town attorney behind closed doors Jan. 24. The meeting will start at 3 p.m.
"Since the treasurer is still getting paid and not performing her statutory duties, the board needs to make some decisions," Feyler wrote. "Those decisions, I assume, will be based on what her lawyer has to say. Currently we will run a significant deficit in the approved amount for this position as we have to pay two people to perform this job — the elected treasurer and someone who is actually doing the work. They may have to decide on a special town meeting to cover the overdraft that could be $15K or more."

Question regarding charCodeat for conversion
So, I am quite the beginner at javascript and, for an assignment, I need to convert text to ascii. My professor mentioned charCodeat with using a for loop and an array, but I'm not sure how to do that. What my ultimate goal is to turn that ascii into binary and then the binary to morse code to use as a beat for a song. Here's what I have so far, but I think I'm way wrong. I think my problem is just trying to incorporate the charCodeat with the rest of the code. Any help?
I looked around and he said that I should do something like this:
<title>JavaScript String charCodeAt() Method</title>

or (preferred) var arrName = [];
Your professor should be aware that document.write() is in effect obsolete. document.write() statements must be run before the page finishes loading. Any document.write() statement that runs after the page finishes loading will create a new page and overwrite all of the content of the current page (including the Javascript which called it). So document.write() is at best really only useful to write the original content of your page. It cannot be used to update the content of your page after that page has loaded. So useable only if the character string to be converted is pre-defined.
BTW, when posting here please help us to help you by following the posting guidelines and wrapping your code in CODE tags. This means use the octothorpe or # button on the toolbar. You can (and should) edit your previous post.

All the code given in this post has been tested and is intended to address the question asked.
Unless stated otherwise it is not just a demonstration.

I read somewhere that you should have one signature dish that you can always whip up.
Writing this I think Hannah Gale wrote in one of her very fab blog posts. The idea being that on a Saturday at midnight, when you've missed the last train home, you can still make this recipe. You can perfectly create it every damn time. You don't need to weigh out 59603059220 different ingredients. You've made it so many times it's inscribed on the cookery book you keep inside your noggin.
For me that did is homemade pizza. It started last year when I oddly had all the ingredients in the cupboard. I then lived off homemade pizza for six months. (Almost.) T and I recently celebrated two years together and I suggested making pizza. T pulled a face thinking it would take 98 hours. But, I whipped it up in half hour or so. So I'm sharing how you can do the same.
Put in your trolley (For the dough.)
200g strong white flour
50ml of lukewarm water (Give or take.)
1tbsp of olive oil
For Toppings
Tomato and basil passata
Deli Chicken (We used chicken tikka, T had quorn.)
An egg
Anything else you fancy topping your masterpiece with.
You may have noticed there is not yeast in this recipe. I like very, very thin and crispy pizza bases so I don't wait for the dough to rise. I've done it before and (with yeast and proving,) and found it unsuccessful. (If you were wondering.)
Step One
Measure out the flour into a bowl, spoon in the oil. Make a well in the middle and pour in the water bit by bit. I add very little amounts at a time – you don't want it too sticky. Stir with a spoon until it comes together and then use your hands.
Step Two
Put the oven on to pre-heat at 200C.
Take the dough from the bowl and knead. Youtube helps if you're struggling with the motion. Knead until it resembles mashed potato. Then roll out using a rolling pin. (Or a bottle of tomato sauce.) It will spring back, so keep rolling until it's circular(ish) and the thickness of a pound coin. Liberally sprinkle a baking tray with flour and place the dough on-top.
Step Three
Top with the passata (quite a lot) and then add your toppings (minus the egg.) We added a mixture of the toppings featured but just use your favourites. Mushrooms, olives, artichoke – whatever you fancy. Pop in the oven and cook for 7 minutes.
Step Four
Once the base is cooked – give it a prod, crack the egg on top and then whip back in the oven. T likes his quite cooked so he put his on a couple of minutes earlier. Once egg is cooked take out, slice and devour.
Numbers (if you're bothered.)
Depending on how many toppings you use this comes to between 450 – 500 calories which is higher than a lot of the recipes I've been posting. But compared to ordering a large dominos you're onto a winner. It's a brilliant way to treat yourself without ruining your healthy eating mission.

Austintown librarian Kathe Orr led a Smart Money story time for 2- and 3-year-olds April 24 in the children's room. She began by talking about the difference between coins and bills and all of the things you can do with money, including saving it.
She then sang a song about keeping coins in order of value: penny, nickel, dime and quarter.
Orr also read some of the books from the Smart money kit, such as "Money, Money, Honey Bunny!" by Marilyn Sadler, which was about a young rabbit whose family gives her some money and she uses it to buy gifts for all her family and save some, as well.
Orr sang several money-themed songs at the story time, including "How Much is That Doggie in the Window," and "Ten Little Pennies" to the tune of "Ten Little Indians."
The story time ended with Orr passing out piggy banks, courtesy of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County, and giving each child a penny with which they could start their savings.

Eschalon: Book III - Preview @ GameBanshee
GameBanshee has posted a new preview for Eschalon: Book III.
So far I'd say that Book III looks pretty good. It definitely feels like an Eschalon game, with the content I saw leaning more towards humor and oddness than character depth and emotional catharsis. For example, while The One looks like he'll be the end boss for the game, you don't see or hear from him at all, and instead you complete offbeat quests where you rescue kittens and deal with snapping clams. Book III's tone might be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what you're looking for. I enjoy quirky games, and so it works for me, and I also prefer games where you start your character fresh (the earliest levels are usually the most interesting as you're guaranteed to have gaps in your repertoire), and so that's a bonus for me as well.

Creating change with change
Beth Wheelock Tallon
Friday, February 22, 2013
Beth Tallon is the Public Relations Director for YWCA Rock County.
A local family made a donation to the YWCA this week. That in itself is not uncommon. We are grateful for all our donors.
The way they raised several hundred dollars for the donation intrigued me.
Three years ago, a member of the family gave each of the 13 members of her extended family a white piggy bank. She asked each person in the Saltzman, Gilbertson and Kane families to deposit extra pocket change into the bank. At Christmastime they combine the money collected and donate it.
Each relative then guesses the total amount. The person who guesses closest gets to choose where the money is donated. In years past they've given to Heifer International and sponsored a child through World Vision. This year they chose YWCA Rock County.
The family says it's a good reminder that just the little bit of change in the bottom of your purse or pocket can add up. It also helps the children in the family see that they can make a difference, too.
Personally, I'm going to adopt this idea for our family.

National anti-nuclear activist Daniel Hirsch was in Oceanside on Saturday to voice concerns about the potential dangers of Southern California Edison restarting its reactors at the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.
"These are very sick puppies," he said of the reactors, which have been shut down for months because of cracks found in the recently replaced steam-generator tubes.
Ruptures of the tubes could have disastrous effects on the 8.5 million residents within a 50-mile radius of the plant, he said.
Hirsch heads the Committee to Bridge the Gap, which focuses on nuclear issues from weapons proliferation to waste disposal, and has been involved in the nuclear energy field for decades.
"Nuclear is safe until it isn't safe," he said to about 50 residents who attended his two-hour lecture, "The Risks of Restarting the Damaged San Onofre Nuclear Plant," sponsored by the Peace Resource Center of San Diego.
Both units have been shut down since the last day of January as Edison looks for a solution to the unexpected wear that has caused the utility to prematurely plug hundreds of the damaged tubes, which carry slightly radioactive water heated by the reactor.
Hirsch told attendees that the repairs have been minimal and that Edison plans to restart one of the reactors soon "just to see what happens."
"It is the kind of experiment where there are 8.5 million guinea pigs," he added.
An Edison spokeswoman Jennifer Manfre, contacted Saturday afternoon, said Hirsch's statements show a "blatant disregard for the facts" and that Edison can not restart an reactor without the oversight and approval of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
"We are a highly regulated company," she said. "There is no timeline on safety."
Seated in rows at a community rooms next to Oceanside's downtown library, residents gasped at some of the scenarios Hirsch presented to them, including what would happened if a Fukushima-like event occured in Southern California, a hotbed of earthquake fault lines.
The people who attended the lecture were a mix of those who are pro-nuclear energy, anti-nuclear, and people just seeking answers.
Eunice Tirado of Escondido called the presentation "scary."
"I am here because I don't want another Fukushima," she said. "The apathy is amazing."
Joanna Hostetler of Oceanside asked Hirsch during a question-and-answer session why there hasn't been more action to convince the government to shut down the plant altogether given the recent problems.
"I don't understand why this isn't in the national news," she said.
Carlsbad resident Alvars Berzins said nuclear energy can be beneficial
"I think there's a lot of scaring going on," Berzins said to Hirsch and other attendees. "Who's standing in the way of technology?"
Interviewed after the event, Berzins said he thinks there are too many naysayers on energy and that each source ---- coal, wind, solar ---- has its problems and that because of politics, generators in the United States haven't gotten the updated technology.
"I say look at what France is doing," he said, adding that the French have more modern facilities. "What would you rather drive, a 1967 beat-up car or a brand-new Lexus?"
Hirsch emphasized that the immediate cause for concern is the possibility of Edison restarting one of its reactors without making sufficient repairs.
Edison shut down one of the plant's two reactors Jan. 31 after detecting a leak in one of the nearly 10,000 thin, steel-alloy tubes inside of the unit's two replacement steam generators. The plant's other reactor ---- Unit 2 ---- was already shut down for refueling and maintenance when the Unit 3 leak was detected. Both reactors had their steam generators replaced about the same time at a total cost of about $680 million. The plant's Unit 1 reactor was retired years ago.
Edison officials announced this summer that the utility has spent $48 million to inspect and perform initial repairs to the steam generators and another $117 million to purchase replacement power since the plant went off-line. It also laid off about one-third of its workforce last week.
Hirsch said Saturday that Edison was trying to meet a nine-month deadline to avoid having to repay residents who paid for the costly replacement steam generators.
Further, Hirsch argued that the NRC is run by those with close ties in nuclear energy.
"This is an uneven fight," he said. "There are lot of powerful people behind this."

Palestinian officials seize accounts, assets in corruption probe
Attorney general says 25 in custody
RAMALLAH, West Bank -- Palestinian prosecutors have frozen bank accounts and seized assets in a widening corruption probe of dozens of government officials suspected of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars in public funds, according to the attorney general.
But the sweep appears to fall short of a major postelection housecleaning in the corruption-riddled Palestinian Authority.
A Palestinian legislator who has collected information on dozens of officials and transferred it to prosecutors said two Cabinet ministers were among the corruption suspects but they are not currently under investigation.
Growing voter frustration over corruption and official mismanagement is seen as a key reason the Islamic militant group Hamas won last month's Palestinian parliamentary elections. This week, Attorney General Ahmed al-Meghani said he suspected officials have stolen billions of dollars from public coffers in the past decade.
Among the suspects, 25 are in custody and at least six have fled to Arab countries, including four to Jordan, Meghani told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Wednesday evening. Among the suspects is a deputy minister who allegedly misappropriated more than $100,000, according to documents shown to the Associated Press.
Meghani has refused to release the names of suspects. Asked whether he was only going after lower-level officials, he said: ''The coming days will prove the contrary."
The attorney general said he is investigating dozens of suspects and that the probe is widening.
''Every day, we get new proof [of wrongdoing]," he said, citing as an example the Palestinian Petroleum Authority, which held the monopoly for the import and sale of fuel products in the West Bank and Gaza. The authority, which operated with little supervision for a decade, was brought under control of the Finance Ministry in 2003.
The attorney general said the investigation of the Petroleum Authority alone yielded 30 suspects. Palestinian security officials said the former head of the authority, Harbi Sarsour, is imprisoned in the West Bank.
Meghani said he has frozen the bank accounts and assets of dozens of suspects, but declined to give details. ''It is a temporary freeze until we finish the investigation and the trials," he said.
He noted that one former suspect -- Palestinian TV chief Hisham Miki, who was killed by gunmen in 2001 -- was believed to have stolen $23 million in public funds, and that his London apartment was seized during the investigation.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has pledged to clean up the Palestinian Authority and his Fatah Party, both infested with corruption, but progress has been slow.
Palestinian legislator and anticorruption campaigner Azmi Shuaibi said no Cabinet ministers or security chiefs were being investigated, even though he had transferred information on the possible corruption of two Cabinet ministers to the prosecutors' office.
Shuaibi said he believes Abbas has been hampered by holdovers from the era of his late predecessor, Yasser Arafat.
''It's not enough to have a president who has the will to do this," Shuaibi said. ''When he looked around him, he found only people who were part of Arafat's system."
Arafat had permitted his inner circle to engage in corruption to solidify his power. For years, the former Palestinian leader spent money without supervision, giving loyalists control over profitable government monopolies and disbursing millions to supporters.
Many Arafat loyalists remained in office after Abbas was elected president last year.
The attorney general said he has opened an office at the Rafah terminal between Gaza and Egypt, which is run by Palestinians under European supervision. Among other things, prosecutors at Rafah are to enforce the travel ban imposed on corruption suspects.
Meghani said the Palestinian foreign minister and Palestinian ambassadors were trying to persuade the suspects who had fled to return voluntarily. If they refuse, ''then we will demand their return by force," he said.

Kelly Campbell is first out of the starting gate in the CFL playoff race.
The Eskimos receiver is the first player to drop a juicy quote to the media regarding the post-season, which opens Saturday.
After scoring a touchdown against Montreal in the final regular-season game on Friday night, Campbell delivered this statement to TSN: "We're giving Montreal something to think about for two weeks."
That quote made its way through the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' dressing room yesterday after that club defeated Hamilton to end the regular season.
In Bombers' territory, that quote could add a little motivation to the East Division semifinal crossover playoff game in Manitoba.
The winner of that game between the Eskimos and Bombers advances to the Nov. 15 East Final in Montreal.
But on the public record, very few Bombers are shooting back at Campbell right now. The only significant comment to come from the Winnipeg side is courtesy of Stanford Samuels.
"Sometimes you put a lot of food in your mouth, and it's hard to negotiate all of that," said Samuels. "And sometimes you bite your tongue in the process.
"But Kelly is a cool dude, man. We were real cool when I was in Edmonton. I would guarantee you he's not looking past us.
"They know they have to come in here. And they know they're going to have a dog fight."
Edmonton head coach Danny Maciocia paused for a moment when he heard Campbell's quote yesterday, but didn't seem to be angered.
"He is a confident young man. And I am sure we got a few more just like him," said Maciocia on his rookie receiver.
"I'd like to think Winnipeg has got a confident group, too. They're a very good, very well-coached football club."

If Phelps wins, is he the greatest Olympian ever -- greater than, among others,

This class apparently will train and certified any public safety officer to become an EMT-B with training focusing on tactical medical operations. I was told that the course is free as the task force does not charge any fee; however, the local college providing the facility charges $400 for 7 units of college tuition as well for books and materials.

Beware: New DOL action makes using independent contractors even riskier
SOURCE: Written by Christian Schappel, Published by www.HRMorning.com
Submitted by: Lisa Schaffer, AIBD Associate Member – FinPan / T. Clear Corp.
To all those using independent contractors: The Department of Labor (DOL) is no longer looking to just strengthen its own enforcement of employee classification rules, it's now strengthening states' enforcement efforts as well.
That means expect even more audits of employer relationships with independent contractors. The DOL just announced that it's providing a total of $10.2 million in funding to 19 states to enhance misclassification auditing programs and other initiatives aimed at cutting down on classification mistakes — both unintentional and willful.
This marks the first time the DOL has awarded state grants dedicated to this effort. The grants were made possible by the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014. Should employers be worried about this grant funding? You betcha.
The feds generally don't like to give this kind of money away unless they feel it'll produce a significant return on investment. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), as well as the states, aren't happy about the tax revenue they lose when employers improperly classify employee as independent contractors, and you can bet they expect to see a lot of that money find its way into their hands…

ELON � Elon men�s tennis coach Michael Leonard has devoted a minimal amount of time to talking strategy with standout Cameron Silverman this season and instead opted to take a psychological approach.
�It�s really just getting him in the right frame of mind,� Leonard said Monday. �If he does that, the rest kind of takes care of itself. When he�s really focused and zoomed in, he�s fun to watch.�
And difficult to defeat.
Silverman supplied a spotless 9-0 record in Southern Conference competition at the No. 1 singles position and was rewarded with the league�s Player of the Year honor Monday, marking back-to-back seasons in which the senior has claimed the conference�s top individual award.
He became the fifth player in league history to repeat as Player of the Year. And as the 35th-ranked player in college tennis, Silverman said he has felt a certain level of expectation to perform to that standard.
�Every match I play, I�m supposed to win, so that can put pressure on me,� he said. �To go undefeated really makes a statement that I brought it every day. That�s something I�m really proud of. And I think I�ve matured this year compared to the past. I come in and I try to take care of business.�
Silverman went 14-5 all told in singles as Elon delivered its second Southern Conference regular-season title in as many years.
The Phoenix (16-4 overall, 9-0 Southern Conference), which holds the top seed for this week�s league tournament, dominated Monday�s all-league selections.
▪ Leonard, whos in his 10th season in charge of his alma mater, picked up his fifth Coach of the Year award in the conference. Hes averaging a rate of one Coach of the Year honor every two seasons.
▪ Stefan Fortmann joined Silverman as a first-team selection in singles.
▪ Silverman and partner Jordan Kaufman were picked first-team all-league in doubles.
▪ Robert Lindgren, Brian Kowalski and Kaufman were second-team choices in singles.
▪ Fortmann and partner Juan Madrid landed second-team recognition in doubles.

Maroon Bells; The Perfect Place For Landscape Photos
If a perfect place for landscape photography were to be built, what amenities would be included? Most photographers would want mountains, lakes, an assortment of trees, a U-shaped valley, a stream, easy access, protected land, a trail system, eastern or western exposure, wildflowers, a different look for each season, a beaver dam, driftwood, boulders, blue sky, high clouds, fog, snow, mild summer and fall temperatures, a meadow, environmentally-friendly restrooms, a campground, a picnic area, and friendly people. This place does not have to be built...it already exists! The Maroon Bells - Snowmass Wilderness, in the White River National Forest, has all of the listed amenities plus it is located only 10 miles from Aspen, Colorado, and can be reached by car, bicycle, or bus.
Photographing in a popular area, such as the Maroon Bells in the fall, poses
many challenges. Sunlight filling the valley, tourists, and other photographers
all led to the composition of this image. During the fall, the sun has to rise
over a 12,000-foot tall ridge before light illuminates the trees below the mountain
peaks. This happens about 9:30am, the same time the tourist buses start arriving.
For the mid-morning image shown here I left the lakeshore and the other photographers
for a location in the meadow. By positioning the tripod close to the ground
I was able to hide the lakeshore, the other photographers, and the arriving
tourists behind the tall grasses of the meadow. The use of a normal lens allowed
the six aspen trees to frame the main subject while breaking up the large shadow
on the left side of the image. The boulder was included to emphasize the color
of the mountains; the downed tree was included to show how the native wildlife
affects the forest. I also left enough area between the lakeshore and the downed
tree to preserve the option of displaying a panoramic image.
The exposure was determined by a comparison of spot meter readings taken from three objects in the image. The meter reading from the blue sky, over the top of the Maroon Bells, matched the meter reading from the yellow aspen leaves at the base of the Maroon Bells, which matched the meter reading from the Sleeping Sexton, the ridge to the right of the Maroon Bells.
Landscape Tips
I find that by keeping people and modern objects out of the composition, my images have more of a timeless quality to them. Clothing and automobile styles change yearly, automatically dating an image. Even people or automobiles rendered small in an image can distract interest from the main subject.
Try a different camera angle when unwanted objects cannot be physically removed from the composition. A high or low angle might hide the unwanted object. By placing the camera low to the ground the tall grass, about 3 ft high, concealed 25-30 people wandering around in the meadow.
Getting There
The Maroon Bells are located at the end of Maroon Creek Road southwest of Aspen, Colorado. From the town of Aspen travel west on State Highway 82. Turn left at the traffic circle, or roundabout, onto Maroon Creek Road. Maroon Creek Road ends at a parking lot. Park and follow the trail to the lake, meadow, or mountains.

Femme Fatale (1993)
Directed by Udayan PrasadRun Time - 80 min. | Countries - UK |
Share on
Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
Poor Maddalena (Sophia Diaz). She's so beautiful and sexy that men in her native Italy could not stop trying to romance her. She could have gone to a convent and she would have had trouble with the priests. There was no place that she could think of that she wouldn't be constantly subject to sexual and romantic demands by men. At some point, though, she remembered what she had heard about the stodginess, even the natural puritanism of the British. And British men are famous for their lack of sexual prowess. In this British-made comedy (penned by the very witty Simon Gray), Maddalena has moved to the British countryside and married a perfectly pleasant British man. Unfortunately, instead of inspiring lust in her new homeland, her great beauty inspires cardiac arrest in those who inopportunely view too much of it on the not infrequent occasions when her breasts break free of their moorings.
