Check with a divorce lawyer
I think you'll need a lawyer to answer this authoritatively, but my understanding is that creditors may not have to release you from the mortgage even after a divorce if you are a cosigner on the loan. Although the divorce settlement may have given her the house, this doesn't change the terms of the mortgage, which you signed years ago while married. Both your names are on the loan - the divorce doesn't change that. So what you can try to do is to contact the lender and ask them how you remove a cosigner from the loan. They may then require an underwriting process to see if your ex can qualify on her own. Obviously you'll need her buy-in to do this.

It must be something with Lighttpd that prevents the Haskell compiled CGI code to be executed. When I moved the exact same CGI file to the cgi-bin directory on my Apache it ran without problems.

Good jib board for the bigfoot people
I just got this board and so far so good. I love how poppy it is and on rails it is VERY stable. Bombing hills is another story. Its a trade off you're going to have to take to have this super responsive board. I like it, but I'd never take it to Montana with me. Read the recommended use to the right, and think about what you use and where you use your board the most.

Kate Middleton Stays in Hospital
The Duchess of Cambridge, pregnant with her and Prince William's first child, will remain in the hospital for a second day with hyperemesis gravidarum, or extreme morning sickness. St. James's Palace issued a statement on Monday saying the duchess is expected to stay in the hospital for several days for the rare condition, which causes vomiting, severe nausea, and dehydration. But hyperemesis is a condition that is more common among women expecting twins, causing some speculation. The Duke of Cambridge spent Monday at the hospital with his wife.

The MSU study, "Nutrition and Cost Comparisons of Select Canned, Frozen and Fresh Fruits and Vegetables" analyzed more than 40 scientific journal studies and nutrition data, comparing canned fruits and vegetables to fresh and frozen based on nutrition and cost. The results created a reminder of the many good reasons why it's time to revisit what's on the S.H.E.L.F. Canned foods are not only tasty, they are:
- S Safe: According to the CDC, at least 128,000 Americans are hospitalized each year with foodborne illnesses. The MSU analysis concluded canned foods are a safer option for produce thanks in part to the canning process that creates a barrier to microbiological contamination.
- H Healthy: The study underscored that nutritionally, canned foods are on par with and in some cases better than fresh and frozen. In fact, canning tomatoes improves the B vitamins, vitamin E and carotenoid content. Fiber, a nutrient of concern in the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, becomes more soluble and therefore more useful in the human body, in the canning process.
- E Ease of preparation: Canned fruits and vegetables are convenient to prepare and incorporate into meals or on their own. They are not subject to seasonality or refrigeration requirements, also making them easily accessible to all from corner convenience stores to supermarkets, a key recommendation in the IOM report.
- L Thanks to their long shelf life, canned foods are perfect staples to stock up and have on hand anytime. USDA reports Americans waste 25 percent of their fresh produce each year, and with 23.5 million people living in areas known as "food deserts" with little or no accessibility to nutritious foods, canned fruits and vegetables provide a smart shelf-stable option for families.
- F Financial benefits: Canned foods stretch hard-earned dollars, saving up to half the cost of frozen and 20 percent of the cost of fresh. For example, fresh green beans are estimated at 500 percent more costly than canned.
The release of the MSU study follows FDA announcement that BPA, a lining used to protect canned foods from contamination, is safe within current guidelines.

By the time 12-year-old Latino homo Sissy holds a dance-off with his sneering older sister she and her girls break it down to the Sylvers Hot Line; Sissy and his boys dust off and remix classic Jackson 5 moves for Blame It On the Boogie Ricardo A. Brachos play has settled into a raucously charming groove of digestible Marxist theory, redemptive Negro pop culture and odes to the uncharted complexities of Latino identities. The story a day-in-the life tale set in Culver City, 1978, on Sissys 12th birthday whisks us through scenes of sibling rivalry, parent-child conflict, cholo bullies, tranny whores dropping wisdom and show-stopping musical sequences set to the gamut of 70s black music. (Ameenah Kaplans inspired choreography is largely era-correct.) Bracho wittily threads the Marxist politics of Sissys parents through the boys struggles to hone not just his queer sexuality but also his Latino identity, when the absence of large-scale Latino representation made black culture the default setting for nonwhite identification. Running throughout is a sometimes prickly harmonizing between black and brown folk thats at odds with contemporary media-stoked tensions. Xavier Moreno is generally excellent as Sissy, though the sheer volume of words packed into some of his monologues had him rushing through them, swallowing some of the jokes. Hes matched in skill by the rest of the cast, who all play multiple roles. Director Armando Molinas inventiveness in having props also play multiple roles (a bunk bed doubles as a city bus, a clothesline demarcates city borders) folds neatly into the plays thesis that multiple identities are housed in every person or thing. Fridays, Saturdays, 8 p.m.; Sun., June 15, 7 p.m. Starts: June 13. Continues through July 20, 2008

Loss 'tough to swallow,' but Badgers future is bright
ARLINGTON, Texas—Ben Brust had just completed his 124th game in a Wisconsin uniform.
His last game at UW.
Like many of his teammates, Brust talked proudly about the satisfying journey that took UW to the Final Four, two victories from a national title.
Yet asked how long he would feel the 74-73 loss to Kentucky on Saturday night at AT&T Stadium, Brust offered a telling response without hesitation.
"Obviously I'll remember this forever," he said.
UW won 30 of 38 games in Bo Ryan's 13th season as head coach. The Badgers did not win a Big Ten title. But they won their first 16 games, the best start in program history, and climbed to No. 3 in the national polls.
They reached the Final Four—the only Big Ten team to do so this season—for the first time since 2000.
There was much to savor. Yet understandably that wasn't possible in the locker room immediately after the loss.
"I'm not going to think about that right now," said redshirt junior guard Josh Gasser, who was sobbing when reporters were allowed in the locker room. "That's not even on my mind. We had a chance to go to the national championship game. One-possession game. Tough to swallow. …
"I love these guys so much and we wanted to finish it off. It sucks that we didn't do it, especially (for) these seniors.
"I don't know. It's kind of hard right now. These seniors. It's your last go-round. I wanted to do it for them. It's hard."
The loss was the last game for Brust, who started 73 games, and reserves Zach Bohannon and Evan Anderson.
UW will return four starters—Frank Kaminsky, Sam Dekker, Traevon Jackson and Gasser.
Kaminsky led the team in scoring (13.9 ppg). Dekker was third at 12.4 ppg, Jackson fourth at 10.7 ppg and Gasser fifth at 8.8 ppg.
Kaminsky blossomed into a first-team all-Big Ten performer. Although Kentucky limited him to seven field-goal attempts and eight points and five rebounds, he proved to be one of the best dual-threat big men in the nation.
Seeing Kaminsky so despondent in the UW locker room, it was clear the loss will drive him in the offseason.
"He said keep this one in the back of your mind," Kaminsky said, referring to Ryan. "Keep it for the next year."
Nothing will be guaranteed next season despite the fact UW will return four starters and key reserves Nigel Hayes, Bronson Koenig and Duje Dukan.
In addition to talent, teams need good chemistry, good health and some breaks along the way to reach the Final Four.
Hayes, limited mostly by foul trouble to two points in seven minutes in the finale, is almost certain to return a better player. He was particularly harsh when asked to assess his play against Kentucky. His combination of talent and work ethic, plus the manner in which the season ended, should help Hayes make a jump next season.
Koenig and Dukan should return better next season also. Koenig showed his ability to shoot and run the offense with 11 points in the first half when Jackson was saddled with two fouls.
Perhaps the biggest area in which he improved during his first season was the ability to shake off a mistake.
"I try to tell myself if I make a turnover or do something bad not to let it get to me," he said. "Trae is always good at telling me to keep playing and not worry about it. I thought I improved."
Koenig hopes to become a more vocal leader, tighten his defense and attack the rim more so he can get to the free-throw line.
Dukan provided a spark off the bench with eight points, five rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes in the finale.
"I'm the type of player who is never really satisfied," Dukan said. "Obviously, I like the progress I made with my game, but I feel there is a lot more improvement I can show."
His biggest weakness is a lack of consistency on defense.
"His minutes aren't limited because his shot isn't going in," assistant Lamont Paris said. "It's more being able to be mature enough … defend the right way, the way we defend. Don't break the defensive rules.
"It's paying attention to detail and maturing into that guy who you can count on to do the same thing every single time."
One other question mark involves forward Vitto Brown, who received limited minutes this season. The 6-foot-8, 237-pound Brown showed flashes in practice. He should be able to perform well enough to give the staff another option in the frontcourt.
The players and coaches will have months to move past the one-point loss to Kentucky and prepare for next season.
"We had a hell of a run," Kaminsky said. "We truly did. We were a really good team this season.
"We got to show that in this postseason run. It sucks we came up short."

Lockport man pleads guilty to making meth
LOCKPORT – A city man pleaded guilty Friday to making the drug methamphetamine in a Newfane home when police raided it Jan. 11.
James O. White, 21, of Olcott Street, admitted to third-degree unlawful manufacture of meth and could be sent to prison for up to 2½ years when he returns before Niagara County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III.
"This is probably the best I'll get," White commented.
A co-defendant, Sean A. Smith, 39, of William Street, Lockport, accepted a plea offer to fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
White also must forfeit $256 police seized from him after raiding Smith's then-home on Hope Lane in Newfane.

How do I change the hyperlink color in the css? I went through the whole style sheet and I'm not seeing the color for the hyperlinks anywhere. I know this must be an easy thing.
Also how do I do a quick search in the Editor area?September 14, 2012 at 3:33 am #90950
Here is my style sheet I tried adding a hyperlink and hover color and it's not working. It must be so obvious but I'm not getting it. I just want to change the hyperlinks in the body to Aother color.
Edit: Removed by Devin for less scrolling.September 14, 2012 at 4:12 am #90951
Links are actually set in several places so you may have to change multiple classes or IDs. The file you want though is either style1.css or style2.css located in the /css/ folder of theme's directory. The one you use depends on if you have a light scheme or dark scheme.
As far as your second question, "Also how do I do a quick search in the Editor area? " I'm not sure what "Editor" you're referring to. The one Visual Editor in Pages or Posts or the Editor in Appearance > Editor?
MyaSeptember 14, 2012 at 4:23 am #90952
Hi mya, I don't see the Style1 etc sheet where is it located? Do I have to do that in the FTP?September 14, 2012 at 12:21 pm #90953
Hi acleverly,
Yes, if your site is hosted on a remote server, you would surely need to use filezilla or other ftp softwares. The directory should look something like public_html > wp-content > themes > newscast > css > style1.css.
IsmaelSeptember 14, 2012 at 4:14 pm #90954
Almost there…
I added the following to overwrite the hyperlinks to this
a {
color: #008295!important;
text-decoration: none !important;
a:visited {
color: #008295 !important;
text-decoration: none !important;
a:hover, a:active {
color: #888F96 !important;
However now I just want the actual hyperlinks in the post and page body to have the color 008295, how do I do that?September 14, 2012 at 4:15 pm #90955
Or if that doesn't work to change the font hyperlink color only in the accordion slide areaSeptember 17, 2012 at 6:51 pm #90956
Hi acleverly,
Can you provide a link to a page with an example of exactly the link color you are trying to change. That way we don't have you adding or modifying any incorrect css.
DevinSeptember 18, 2012 at 6:51 am #90957September 18, 2012 at 8:58 am #90958
You can edit this element
#top .heading_clone {

z-index: 4;
bottom: 20px;

NickMay 9, 2013 at 4:28 pm #90961
Hi Nick,

'The Boys in the Boat' is next year's Western Reads selection
Western Washington University has selected Daniel James Browns book The Boys in the Boat as the Western Reads book for the 2014-2015 academic year.
All new freshman and transfer students will receive a complimentary copy of The Boys in the Boat at orientation and will be invited to participate in a variety of Western Reads activities during the academic year, including discussions, faculty presentations and guest lectures.
Western Reads is Westerns campus-wide reading program designed to promote intellectual engagement and civil discourse among members of the campus community.
In this moving and insightful book, Brown tells the emotionally charged story of the eight-oar crew team from the University of Washington that beat the odds and won gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
Brown shares the moving story of working-class boys who came from the states foggy coastal villages, damp dairy farms, and smoky lumber towns" and mastered the art of rowing and work together and to become Olympic champions.
Joe Rantz, the central character and emotional heart of the book, is a young man who knows that a seat in the boat, and the camaraderie and commitment of the other boys, is his best chance of remaining in college. In the depths of the Great Depression and looming rise of Nazi Germany, nine young men changed the world of rowing and captured the hearts of the nation.
The Western Reads selection committee is comprised of faculty, staff and students from across campus. Criteria for selecting the book include issues of concern to students, accessibility, and possibilities for interdisciplinary conversation and opportunities for students to reflect on their own lives as learners. The Whatcom Reads program has also selected Browns book for the coming year and the two programs will work together on programming and events.
Previous years Westerns Reads books include: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot; Early Warming: Crisis and Response in the Climate Changed North, by Nancy Lord; The Young and the Digital, by S. Craig Watkins; Omnivores Dilemma, by Michael Pollan; The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, by Mark Haddon; Persepolis, by Marjane Satrapi; Honky by Dalton Conley, and The Battle Over the Meaning of Everything by Gordy Slack.
Western Reads is sponsored by Westerns Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education Senior Vice President, and Vice President for Enrollments and Student Services and by New Student Services/Family Outreach.

Revision as of 16:43, 14 December 2008
Template:Recasting controversy series Save our Voice Actors, commonly abbreviated SOVA is a Pokémon community-driven campaign to bring back the original Voice Actors instead of recasting the Pokémon anime dub with new Voice Actors.
The campaign started as Save the Dub on March 21, 2006. News broke out when a member at a Pokémon forum received a letter from Veronica Taylor. Moments later, Pokémon Palace Network received an email and a guest book entry by Eric Stuart. These letters provided evidence that Pokémon USA was going to recast the voice actors, which spurred significant controversy in the Pokémon communities.
The mission is to let as many Pokémon fans know and support the previous voice actors by communicating to Pokémon USA to tell them that the recasting of voice actors is wrong. Methods to convey their message include writing letters and e-mail, signing online petitions, and sending them styrofoam Poké Balls with messages written on them.
Recent victories?
In 2008, when TPCi switched dubbing studios from TAJ Productions to DuArt, several of the voice actors from the 4Kids dub began to return to the series. Initially, they were voice actors who had played minor roles or recurring characters, such as Evelyn Lanto, Sean Schemmel, Dan Green and Bella Hudson. However, beginning with Lost Leader Strategy, fans noticed that Rachael Lillis had returned to voice Maylene. Since then, Maddie Blaustein has returned as well, voicing Chatot in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2.
For the first time, a 4Kids voice actor was able to return to one of their roles. In The Thief That Keeps On Thieving!, Ted Lewis reprised his role as Giovanni.
- Dan Green (returned in The Keystone Pops!)
- Bella Hudson (returned in Bibarel Gnaws Best!)
- Sean Schemmel (returned in Nosing Round the Mountain)
- Mike Pollock (returned in Luxray Vision)
- Marc Thompson (returned in Journey to the Unown!)
- Amy Palant (returned in Tanks For The Memories!)
- Evelyn Lanto (returned in Hot Springing a Leak!)
- Rachael Lillis (returned in Lost Leader Strategy!)

CAIRO Egypts Islamist president fired the first volley in his war with the powerful generals on Sunday, calling on the Islamist-dominated parliament to reconvene in defiance of a military decree dissolving the legislature on the basis of a ruling by the countrys highest court.
A week into his presidency, Mohammed Morsis decree could plunge the country into a new bout of instability, and possible violence, nearly 17 months after the ouster of authoritarian leader Hosni Mubarak by a popular uprising and the start of a transition period defined more by turmoil than the freedom that followed some 30 years of authoritarian rule.
His decree also called for new parliamentary elections to be held within 60 days of the adoption of a new constitution for the country, which is not expected before late this year.
In the first sign of an imminent crisis, the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, the formal name of the body grouping the nations top generals, held an emergency meeting shortly after Morsis decree was announced by the official news agency.
The generals, said the agency, met to review and discuss the consequences of Morsis decision. In a separate report, the Supreme Constitutional Court, the tribunal that dissolved the legislature last month, will meet today to discuss Morsis decision.
The court ruling said a third of the legislatures members were illegally elected, but only ordered its dissolution in the verdicts legal citation. Acting on the courts ruling, the generals decreed the dissolution of parliament last month, angering the Brotherhood and poisoning the atmosphere ahead of the militarys handover of power to Morsi on June 30.
The basis of the ruling is that political parties breached the principle of equality by fielding candidates to run for the third of the chambers seats set aside for independents.
The text of Morsis decree made no mention of the Supreme Constitutional Courts ruling, saying it was revoking the militarys own decree to disband the legislature. The military decree came when the generals were in power, acting as a collective presidency.
Morsi is a conservative Islamist and a longtime member of the Muslim Brotherhood, Egypts most powerful political group. The fundamentalist group won nearly half of parliaments seats when elections were held about seven months ago.
The dissolution of parliament came as a severe blow to the Brotherhood which has dreamt of political power for most of the 84 years since its inception. Its imminent clash with the military evokes memories of the 1950s and 1960s when the government at the time jailed the groups leaders along with hundreds of its supporters. Mubarak also cracked down on the group throughout most of his 29 years in power.
Brotherhood leaders welcomed Morsis decision, but the countrys leading pro-reform campaigner, Nobel peace Laureate Mohamed ElBaradei, himself a longtime critic of the military, said it undermined the countrys judicial authority.
The presidents decree, he wrote on his Twitter account, ushered Egypt into a constitutional coma and a conflict between the states branches.
The move also reflects confusion in the roles and powers of Egypts governing institutions, with the constitution in force under Mubarak suspended after the uprising and no new one yet adopted.
The military announced a constitutional declaration last month that gave it legislative powers in the absence of parliament and stripped Morsi of much of his presidential authority. It also gave the generals control over the process of drafting a new constitution and immunity from any civilian oversight. It also gave itself control of the national budget.
Morsi came to power after narrowly defeating Mubaraks last prime minister, Ahmed Shafiq, in a June 16-17 runoff. He was declared the winner on June 24. He symbolically took the oath of office five days later at Tahrir Square, birthplace of the revolt that toppled Mubaraks regime on Feb. 11, 2011.

Williams-Sonoma, Inc. announced operating results for its fiscal second quarter 2013, and announced plans to expand its brands in its next international market - the Philippines.
For the 13 weeks ended August 4, 2013, profits grew 12.3% to $982 million versus $874 million for the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2012. Retail growth was driven primarily by Pottery Barn, West Elm and international franchise operations offsetting a modest decline at Williams-Sonoma stores.
Laura Alber, president and CEO said, "Our second quarter results demonstrate the strong demand for our brands and the profitability of our multi-channel, multi-brand platform. We generated a 12% increase in revenue and a 14% increase in diluted EPS over last year. We achieved sales and profit levels that exceeded our expectations while making investments in our growth objectives and in the infrastructure to support them."
Direct-to-customer (catalog, internet) net revenues increased 15.3% to $478 million from $414 million in Q2 12, primarily driven by Pottery Barn, West Elm, PBteen and Pottery Barn Kids. DTC net revenues generated 49% of total company net revenues in Q2 13, compared to 47% in Q2 12.
Retail net revenues in Q2 13 increased 9.7% to $505 million from $460 million in Q2 12, driven primarily by Pottery Barn, West Elm and international franchise operations, partially offset by a decrease in Williams-Sonoma. Including three net new stores within Q2 13, retail leased square footage increased 2% from the end of Q2 12.
Operating margin in Q2 13 was 8.0%, equal to Q2 12.
"Longer term, we remain confident in our ability to continue to grow sales, maximize profitability and capture market share as we build on our successes across brands and geographies," Alber said.
The company also announced this week a multi-year franchise agreement with Stores Specialists, Inc. for Williams-Sonoma's brands in the Philippines.
Pottery Barn and Pottery Barn Kids will be the first brands to debut and are expected to open in Manila in early 2014 at Bonifacio High Street, the first main street retail concept in the Philippines. The agreement with SSI includes development rights in the Philippines for all brands in the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. portfolio including: Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, PBteen and West Elm.
In the past year, Williams-Sonoma, Inc. has made multiple announcements surrounding its global expansion strategy including the expansion of its Middle East retail footprint with M.H. Alshaya Company, as well as new company-owned stores in Australia and the United Kingdom. In May 2013, the company introduced its first Australia stores in Sydney with the opening of Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids and West Elm at Bondi Junction. Additional West Elm store openings are expected in Melbourne and London later this year.
"We believe there is a significant opportunity to extend the reach of our brands globally," Alber said. "The Philippines is a natural market for us, with a strong, steadily growing economy and consumer interest in high-quality, stylish home products. We are pleased to partner with SSI, a company with demonstrated success developing well-known brands in the Philippines and a deep understanding of the local customer base. We are confident they are the right partner to introduce our brands to the Philippines market and deliver on our company promise to enhance customers' lives at home."

"The biggest barrier to being more effective is engaging and empowering middle management to execute on the organisation's strategy."Mark Joiner,Executive Director Finance,National Australia Bank Limited
Asked what stopped them from being effective, gaps in personal or finance team skills were the least of these CFOs' concerns. Internal issues — including bureaucracy, inadequate change capabilities and poor relationships — loomed large.
Top barriers to effectiveness
Despite operating in some of the most challenging times of their careers, CFOs rated internal bureaucracy and poor inter-departmental relations and internal communications on an equal footing with the difficult economic environment.
These comments correlate to the importance of positive stakeholder engagement and the need for a winning culture that responds to volatility, embraces major business and change programs and is flexible to the needs of stakeholders and the business.
As the CFO becomes even more critical to organisational success, addressing these issues will become a priority for organisations wishing to retain their vital strategic adviser.
In challenging economic conditions, organisations across Asia–Pacific are increasingly turning to their CFOs for strategic advice. CFOs are working closely with CEOs as the architects of corporate strategy.
This strategic adviser role is an important step in organisational maturity, supporting more disciplined decision-making. The danger is that, in an environment of cost cutting, this broadening remit will not be properly resourced.
Already, a quarter of CFOs are struggling to find the time to focus on corporate strategy. However, as their peers are shifting and the executives and boards are expecting this as part of their mandate, CFOs will need to focus on strategic insights if they are to move into the top eschalon of CFO roles.

As of February 1st, Federal agencies, under a mandate from the Office of Management and Budget, had to have a plan in place for standardizing their desktop configurations. According to an article in NetworkWorld, "the Federal Desktop Core Configuration standard will require agencies to apply and maintain standard security settings on all desktops and laptops. The idea is to return control of key systems to administrators, limiting users' ability to change their desktop configurations while keeping the system more secure. Agencies have to have a plan in place by Feb. 1, and desktops have to be configured to meet the standard by the end of February."
In response to the desktop standard, Shawn McCarthy, a senior analyst and program manager at IDC Government Insights, asks the question on GCN.com, why not servers?
Here are eight suggestions McCarthy makes as a starting point. As he admits, "these steps are a long way from an FDCC-style set of requirements, they can help standardize an organization's approach to configuration management and security for servers."
What are your thoughts on creating a standard for server configurations for federal or even commercial environments? What are the pluses and the minuses?
If your organization needs an automated configuration management tool or is using a tool that doesn't provide all of the value mentioned, consider a trial of Ecora Software's Auditor Pro 4.5. These tools have become increasingly sophisticated, with integrations with help and service desk tools for validating approved changes and properly remediating unapproved changes, while also providing the ability to assess any portion of the IT environment against a number of internal policies and external regulatory standards.
I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions of other tools that have been effective for helping you maintain configuration standards and control changes in your environment.

I am thankful that Cathleen Falsani's blog post included the text of the prayer given by Bishop Eugene Robinson at the beginning of the Sunday "We Are One" concert. Even though friends and I arrived at the Lincoln Memorial and stood as close as the crowds and security would allow, we were no different than the millions who tuned in on HBO. We couldn't hear it, either.
When Bishop Robinson stood at the podium to give his remarks 10 minutes before the official start time of 2:30 p.m., there was barely any audio coming from the giant speakers which lined the reflecting pool. We couldn't tell if he was just rehearsing, as many had done throughout the morning and afternoon, or if he was actually praying. The crowd was stirring and began to chant "We Can't Hear!" and "Turn It Up!" We could see his face on screen, but no words accompanied the image. As you can see in the text of the prayer, it was long, and the audio kicked in when he prayed, "And please, God, keep him safe

You didn't have to be on the ice listening to Brent Sutter's early practice pep talk to know what it was all about.
All you had to do was watch the morning's drills.
"That's for us to discuss internally. I don't think we have to comment on what was said," Dion Phaneuf said after the hard-hitting and heavy skating that filled more than an hour of their day. "I think the practice showed what we deserved."
With the Calgary Flames dropping two straight games they could have won with more physical play and hard work, they were forced to put out the effort yesterday.
Even for professional athletes, the session was exhausting.
But it wasn't unexpected.
"We all knew it was coming, I think. It wasn't a surprise to anyone," said Flames winger Curtis Glencross, who was one of the guys singled out after a poor performance Saturday night in a 3-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings.
"We're not competing enough. We're kind of hurting ourselves."
Never one to shy away from a little contact, even in practice, Phaneuf was just as willing as everyone else in the locker-room to learn the lesson.
"That was basically the lesson of the day -- we did it to ourselves," Phaneuf said. "That's what you get when you're not playing well."
How they respond remains to be seen.
A bigger wonder is why it took a bag skate and one-on-one drills that pitted teammate against teammate in physical battles worthy of football practices for Flames players to take note of what Sutter is trying to teach?
"The words of the day were work hard, learn how to practise hard, try to kick some old habits and get some new thinking in here -- he was trying to drill it into us," Phaneuf said.
It shouldn't have to be drilled. Sutter said himself in his media gathering it has nothing to do with systems anymore.
It's all about effort.
Expecting the Flames to give their best every night -- and every morning during practice for that matter -- shouldn't be a struggle.
But Sutter is finding what his predecessors Mike Keenan and Jim Playfair discovered was a challenge when they took the reins from a demanding Darryl Sutter -- the Flames need constant attention.
"I remember when Darryl used to come in and you just knew (it was going to be tough)," Craig Conroy recalled of the days when the current GM was coaching and having to put the team through its paces in practice because of a lack of effort in games.
"You knew coming to practice (yesterday) it wasn't gonna be good."
Lacking execution in a couple of the early drills only added to Brent Sutter's anger yesterday, which led to more skating and more hitting.
But you have to believe the physical aspect of practice was coming either way.
It's arguably the biggest missing ingredient the last couple of games.
"If we got out there and hit teams like we just hit our own teammates, we can be a much better team," Conroy said. "We've got a big team, and you could see it in practice that when we're knocking guys over and battling it only creates more room for us.
"He let it be known this is how we have to play in a game."
If they don't, you might see a sellout crowd at the Saddledome later this week for practice following a two-game road trip.
It was that entertaining. Just not for the players.

Government to help taxi driver Macia's son 'this year'
"We learned that he had only one dependent in South Africa, his seven-year-old son. We will take care of him for the duration of this year until we are guided by the family on whether he goes back to Mozambique or not," premier Nomvula Mokonyane's spokesperson Thebe Mohatle said on Thursday.
Mokonyane visited Mido Macia's family in Daveyton, on the East Rand, on Friday. She sent her condolences to the family and condemned the police's actions. Mohatle said the provincial government would work with the South African embassy in Mozambique to help the family with arrangements for taking Macia's body home.
Meanwhile, eight policepeople implicated in the killing of Macia (27) were arrested on Friday. The suspects, two warrant officers and six constables, were arrested at the Benoni police station, the Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) said.
"The suspects will remain in custody until they appear in court. The Ipid is committed to ensuring that the suspects are held accountable and brought before the courts," spokesperson Moses Dlamini said.
All eight would face a murder charge. They were expected to appear in the Daveyton Magistrate's Court on Monday.
Macia was tied to the back of a police van and dragged along a street in Daveyton, on the East Rand, on Tuesday. An eyewitness filmed the assault. He died in the local police station's cells later that day. A post mortem report revealed that he died of head and internal injuries. – Sapa

Music Review: Dave Mason - 'Future's Past'
Published 10:00 pm, Friday, May 2, 2014
I don't know who said it first, but I've heard one truism from many rock veterans: "Once, you went on the road to promote an album. Now, you make an album to promote a new tour." I thought of this notion many times listening to Dave Mason's new Future's Past. More than any other release I've heard lately, it is clearly a collection of songs designed to supplement his road work in 2014.
For one matter, Mason's new touring band is billed as Dave Mason's Traffic Jam, although there are few overt connections to Mason's most famous group. Rather, Mason says Future's Past was built on songs his group has been playing live over the past seven years and most come from various stages of his career. Only one song, "That's Freedom," is new.

Three of the re-worked numbers debuted on Mason's 2008 26 Letters 12 Notes, the last studio album Mason released before Future's Past. They include "Good 2 U," "How Do I Get To Heaven," and the splendid instrumental, "El Toro (Spanish Blues)." From Mason's 1970 debut solo album, Alone Together, we get a substantially re-arranged "World in Changes" and a beautiful, live version of "Sad and Deep as You." "It's a rare case," Mason told me, "of a new version of a song being much better than the original."
Most listeners will likely be most intrigued by the two Traffic revisions, "Dear Mr. Fantasy" and "You Can All Join In." The latter makes sense as it was one of Mason's own contributions to the band, but "Dear Mr. Fantasy?" After all, that one was penned by Steve Winwood, Chris Wood, and Jim Capaldi, a trio Mason was famously rarely simpatico with. When asked about this choice, Mason shrugs off talking about the old gang. "I do many songs written by other people," he said. "'We Just Disagree' was written by Jim Krueger." Whoever composed the original hit, Mason offers a bluesier reading of "Dear Mr. Fantasy," stripping off the song's psychedelic layering to show off what he can do now that he's singing and playing lead guitar on a tune for which he was once the bass player.
Rounding out the nine-song set is the down-home Robert Johnson cover "Come On in My Kitchen," where Mason gets both playful and down-and-dirty simultaneously. In short, this is a short collection of songs Mason clearly likes and are more-or-less road tested. Concert goers this year can assume they'll be hearing them wherever Traffic Jam appears. Who's in the band? The players on the album vary from track-to-track, and Mason isn't talking about his traveling musicians. Well, seeing Dave Mason will be the point anyhow for ticket buyers and Future's Past-along with all the other merchandise at the official website-are the souvenirs waiting for them.
For everyone else, Future's Past is a pleasant enough assembly of tunes with some high-quality guitar licks, to put it mildly. The new "Dear Mr. Fantasy" is certainly worth hearing, even if its inclusion makes the whole "Traffic Jam" brand seem a tad opportunistic. It's hard to imagine any Mason fan not being knocked out by the new "Sad and Deep as You." So there are good reasons to fly with Future's Past, especially if the music of Mason has been part of your own past.

A very happy Constitution Day to all Loop fans!
Yes, indeed, Sept. 17 is the 226th anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution by the delegates meeting in Philadelphia in 1787. (It's also the 106th birthday of former Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, but we digress.).
As we all know, the Bill of Rights, which protects us, among other things, from having to let soldiers crash in our homes without our permission — at least "in time of peace" — was not ratified until four years later.
But how much do you know about the Constitution?
Do you know that a 2004 federal law (Public Law 108-447) requires that the head of each federal agency or department "provide educational and training materials concerning the United States Constitution to each employee" on Sept. 17?
Do you know that law, thanks to an amendment slipped into an appropriations bill by former Sen. Robert Byrd (D-W. Va.), also requires all schools receiving federal funds must also teach the United States Constitution?
So did the National Security Agency make all employees memorize the First Amendment and highlight significant First Amendment cases?
What is your agency doing Sept. 17 to comply with the law? Let us know! Leave a comment, send an e-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) or tweet us:@InTheLoopWP

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Despite the budget deal reached by the Legislature and the governor, most state offices will remain closed for three days each month for the next year. According to the Chron, the closures and forced unpaid days off for state workers amount to a 15 percent pay cut for state employees. The cuts were necessary to help balance California's $26.3 billion budget deficit. The closures also will result in longer lines at state offices, including the DMV.
After months of bitter negotiations, the state legislature approved a budget that saves state parks and spares local governments, but falls short of closing California's $26.3 billion budget gap. As a result, the state's budget problems will continue next year even if the economy recovers, according to the Chron. In reaching the budget compromise, Sacramento lawmakers used a series of accounting gimmicks, along with deep cuts to state services. The governor also plans to use his line-item-veto powers to achieve more cuts and balance the budget overall. In addition, lawmakers put off making a decision on how to implement $1.2 billion in cuts to the state Department of Corrections until next month.
A guided tour yesterday of Downtown Berkeley's Hotel Shattuck Plaza, which occupies the site of the former Shattuck Hotel, revealed eye-poppingly cool design elements and green technology.
Peralta Community College Trustee Marcie Hodge says she knowingly used a college district credit card for personal use, including buying expensive clothes from Las Vegas and Manhattan. According to the Contra Costa Times, Hodge defended the purchases, saying she repaid the district and always intended to do so. But it appears that Peralta Chancellor Elihu Harris knew what Hodge was doing was ethically questionable and had tried to cover for her. According to the paper, an assistant for Harris repeatedly attached notes to Hodge's expense reports, saying that she had "mistakenly" made the purchases. But Hodge says she didn't write the notes and knew all along that she was using a taxpayer-funded card for personal use.
Dianne Feinstein is among a group of moderate and Blue Dog Democrats who are blocking passage of the president's health care reform package. According to the Chron, Feinstein says she's concerned about the potential future costs of the program and doesn't want to expand "entitlements." The longtime US senator from California, however, is apparently unconcerned about the 47 million Americans who can't afford private health insurance or about the skyrocketing costs of health coverage as insurance companies continue to rake in obscene profits.
Even though the number of foreclosures dropped in the past few months, the total number of property defaults jumped significantly. The development is raising fears that the housing crisis, which looked to be improving, may actually worsen in the months ahead. There were nearly 20,000 default notices issued in the Bay Area from April through June, a jump of 7.3 percent over last year, the Chron reported. More troubling is that a significant portion of the increase occurred in wealthier areas that had been previously insulated from the foreclosure crisis. That means that more middle and upper middle-income residents are having a tougher time making ends meet. If the trend continues, it could lead to a widening of the housing crisis, putting any hope of an economic recovery further in doubt.
It appears that state Republican leaders are more concerned with appearances than actual policy making when it comes to being tough on crime. The state GOP leadership had threatened to scuttle a budget deal negotiated with Democrats and the governor because of the governor's plan to lower the state's prison population by about 27,000 inmates. Republicans said they would never agree to such a plan. But then they backed off after Democrats and the governor assured them that the plan would be negotiated separately from the budget in August, according to the Chron. The result, however, is that the governor's plan will likely win approval next month because it only needs a simple majority vote of the legislature to pass while the budget deal requires a two-thirds vote. In other words, it looks as if the Republicans are more concerned about not voting for the prison reform plan than actually stopping it.
The Oakland Police Officers' union is expected to agree to an overall 7.5 percent cut in compensation after union leaders reached a tentative agreement with the city. According to the Chron and the Trib, the police rank-and-file began voting on the agreement last night. The deal would save the city about $11.8 million next year, and it's hard to see the union members turning it down, after it got a ringing endorsement from their leadership. "I think it's a good deal for everybody right now," Sgt. Dom Arotzarena, the police union president, told the Trib. "It will save jobs. It will save the city money."
Phil Tagami, a politically connected Oakland developer, has won the right to develop the Port of Oakland's piece of the former Army Base and likely will receive the city's portion as well. Tagami and his business partners plan industrial uses for the base, including an array of support services for the port. Although the City Council will not award the city's section of the base until Tuesday, it would difficult for the council to now give it to a competing developer who wants to build a retail center, since Tagami's plans for the other half of the base got the greenlight Tuesday from the port commission.
One day after state political leaders finally reached a budget compromise, the deal was in doubt as Republicans threatened to block it and local governments vowed to sue. According to the Chron, Republican legislators are angry that the budget deal may result in the early release of up to 27,000 non-violent prison inmates, and local governments are upset about the state taking $4 billion of city and county revenue to fix its $26.3 billion fiscal mess.

Corinthians distance Paulinho from speculation linking him with Chelsea
Brazilian outfit Corinthians have rubbished reports suggesting they would listen to an offer from Chelsea for Paulinho.
By Paulo Freitas
Last Updated: 17/10/12 4:12pm
The 24-year-old holding midfielder is the latest Samba star to be linked with a high-profile switch to Europe.
A number of clubs are said to be weighing up the merits of an approach, with Premier League leaders Chelsea among those to be monitoring Paulinho's progress.
Corinthians, though, have no intention of selling and claim Paulinho understands that his ongoing development would be better served in his homeland.
"I have no idea where this information has come from," Corinthians manager Tite told Globo Esporte on the Chelsea rumours.
"We are at an important stage in Corinthians' history and this information will not disrupt us.
"Money doesn't buy everything. It could be a lot of money, but if the player is smart and has ambition like Paulinho does, then money will not be enough."
He added: "Everyone wants him, but that changes nothing.
"Corinthians come first. The biggest asset a club have is their players and their achievements here.
"I want him to stay and I praise Paulinho's intelligence. When he decided to stay here, he increased the value of everybody.
"He is at a club where he is settled, in a system that suits him, so his career will continue to grow."
Tite believes moving to Europe is not always the best option for a player breaking through the Brazilian ranks.
He added: "Hernanes, for example, moved to Lazio. He was doing fantastically well here, but is not playing much now.
"Paulinho was smart and everyone in Brazilian football wins.
"If one goes to another club and doesn't play, an entire career suffers. It is a missed opportunity for both the player and the club. Paulinho understands that.
"The World Cup (in 2014) will be another important step in his career, and he knows that."

Birth Control FAQs (cont.)
Which form of birth control can I afford?
Some insurance plans pay for birth control pills and other birth control methods that are available by prescription only. Some insurance plans do not pay for prescription birth control methods, though the Affordable Care Act has made coverage much more available.
Before you begin a hormonal birth control method, such as the birth control pill, check into the cost by asking at your pharmacy (doctors generally do not know the costs) and asking your insurance company if they cover it. If you don't think you will be able to afford a hormonal method, you may want to consider other forms of birth control that are available without a doctor's prescription (such as condoms) before you begin a program you cannot afford.
You may wish to contact your local Planned Parenthood organization as well, to see if discounted birth control is available to you through them.
What birth control methods are available without seeing my doctor?
Patient Comments
Condoms (also called rubbers) are available in most supermarkets, drug stores, and in vending machines in some public restrooms. They are available without a doctor's prescription.
Most condoms are made from latex rubber. A man puts the condom on his erect penis before having sex. A condom is used only once. Some men and women are allergic to the latex in condoms. If you aren't allergic, you should use condoms made from latex because they are best at preventing pregnancy and protect against transmitting sexual diseases such as AIDS and genital herpes. Do not use condoms with lubricants such as Vaseline or other brands of petroleum jelly or oils. They make the latex less effective and may damage the condom. You may use a lubricant, such as K-Y Jelly, which does not contain oil.
A form of female condom (brand name Reality) is also available at stores without a doctor's prescription. These are made of polyurethane. A woman inserts the condom into her vagina right before sex and uses it only once.
Do not use a male and female condom at the same time. The male condom is more effective at preventing pregnancy and protecting against sexually transmitted diseases.
Spermicides are available in drugstores without a prescription. They can be a foam, cream, film, or jelly. Spermicides contain a chemical that kills a man's sperm. The woman should carefully follow the instructions on the package. Most spermicides must be inserted into the vagina 10-15 minutes before sexual intercourse. One dose usually works for an hour. Use another dose if you have sexual intercourse again, even if it has been less than an hour. Do not use douches or rinse your vagina for at least 6-8 hours after having sex. Spermicide alone is not completely effective at preventing pregnancy.
Behavioral methods such as pulling out before ejaculation are not very effective. Douching (rinsing out the vagina) after sex is not effective and not recommended. Breastfeeding a newborn can be protective against pregnancy for up to 6 months, but most women don't breastfeed often enough to prevent ovulation.

Stewart Island: Ecological Wonderland & New Zealand Jewel
A remarkable hideaway that embraces the serenity of nature but also promises a Southern adventure, Stewart Island is a "must do" when visiting New Zealand.
1 / 6
Beauty cloaks Stewart Island. A 20-minute flight from Invercargill with Stewart Island Flights, or a one-hour ferry from Bluff across Foveaux Strait with Stewart Island Experience, gives way to a unique ecological world.
Check out some of our top picks for experiencing Stewart Island.
1. Go Hiking, Walking, Tramping
Stewart Island's setting and wildlife make for a hiker's utopia. Its 240 kilometres of treks range from 10-minute strolls to 12-day-long adventures in the island's far-flung reaches. Which one will you do?
Our top picks include the Rakiura Track, Port William Excursion, Coast to Coast and Stewart Island's top short walks. If you would like to hike with a guide there are plenty of options available with Kiwi Wilderness Walks and Ruggedy Range Wilderness Experience.
2. Birds, Birds, Birds
Nature lovers travel from far and wide to see New Zealand's largest and most diverse bird population. See kaka, albatross, penguins and weka (just to name a few) as Stewart Island is home to numerous species many of which can only be seen on the island.
We also can't forget the famous Stewart Island Brown Kiwi. The island offers the best chance in New Zealand to see Kiwi in the wild and in their natural habitat - they outnumber humans 20-1. However, as they are a nocturnal bird you will need to stay overnight. For the best chance of seeing them we recommend you take a tour and some great companies include Bravo Adventure Cruises and Ruggedy Range Wilderness Experience.
3. Escape to the island sanctuary of Ulva Island
Just a short boat ride from Stewart Island is the forest-clad Ulva Island, a pest-free open sanctuary where you can learn and see New Zealand's bird species and flora that couldn't survive on the mainland. Half or full day trips are easily organised and you can go with or without a specialist guide.
If you're looking for a guided experience on Ulva Island there are loads of options. Some of our top picks include: Ulva's Guided Walks, Ruggedy Range Wilderness Experience, Stewart Island Experience Paterson Inlet Cruise, Rakiura Charters and Sails Ashore.
4. Eat, Drink, Laugh, Learn
Stewart Island is world famous for its seafood and there are loads of great places to try it. We would recommend the South Sea Hotel, Church Hill Restaurant & Oyster Bar and the Kai Kart. The Kiwi French Cafe is also great if you would like something sweet.
Looking for a challenge? We recommend you join the locals for a beer and a feed at the famous Stewart Island Quiz Night. Prince Harry took part in the quiz when he visited in 2015!
You can discover the fascinating history of this southern land at the Rakiura Museum. Gain local knowledge and insight about Stewart Island by taking scenic, guided tours which showcase the unique island stories. These tours depart regularly by bus. Options include the Village and Bays Tour and the Island Culture Scenic Road Tour.
Theatre more your thing? Stewart Island has one of those too! A Locals Tail is a special story created by two Stewart Island residents to showcase the areas unique heritage, people and their determination to make this southern land home.
5. Fish the Foveaux Strait
Fishing for Blue Cod on Foveaux Straight is another popular activity and several charter operators offer either half or full day trips. Don't worry if you don't have gear as this will be supplied for you. The skippers are mainly ex-commercial fisherman so they know where all the best locations are.
Some of our top picks include LoLoma Charters, Rakiura Charters and Aurora Charters.
6. Under the Sea: Dive with a Great White Shark
How about getting eye to eye with a great white shark in the safety of a shark cage? Running from January to June only, this is your chance to get up close and personal with these fascinating creatures of the sea. Are you up for the thrill and excitement? If you are, head to Shark Dive NZ or Shark Experience NZ.

(PhysOrg.com) -- A Simon Fraser University lab's invention will make it easier for researchers to travel anywhere to study how extreme environments affect various populations, including the elderly, athletes and the sick.
In fact, SFU environmental physiologist Matthew White and his lab colleagues could eventually turn their portable breath-monitoring-and-manipulation device into a backpack for creating portable extreme environments.
Called an End-Tidal Forcing (ETF) system, the invention regulates the composition and availability of air gases a person inhales and exhales on a breath-by-breath basis.
The device mimics air conditions in extreme environments by delivering various levels of nitrogen, carbon dioxide and normal air into a volunteer's lungs.
"Under normal conditions, we breathe in air that contains 20.9 per cent oxygen, 79 per cent nitrogen and only .03 per cent carbon dioxide," explains White. "Our blood transports the mixture of gases that we inhale, including the vitally important oxygen, from our lungs to our body's tissues."
The ETF system can induce the experience of breathing on Mount Everest by having a volunteer inhale air in which the mixture of gases is lower in oxygen than normal.
The ETF system consists of a computer, a valve control system, a metabolic cart with gas and flow sensors, gas-filled bottles and respiratory tubing with a mouth-piece to deliver gases to the volunteer.
To test the physiological impact of extreme altitude/depth environments on humans, SFU researchers have relied on a pressure-controlled hypo/hyperbaric chamber in the Department of Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology's Environmental Physiology Unit (EPU).
"The EPU's hypo/hyperbaric chamber remains critical to our research because of its exceptional capabilities," says White. "But the flexibility of the ETF is akin to having a portable Mount Everest or ocean floor."
White's lab is also using the ETF system to study the physiological responses of the elderly in hot environments in the hopes of better understanding the impact of global warming on Canada's aging population.
White plans to extend his research to studying people with lung and heart diseases in climate-change-related hot environments.
The European Journal of Applied Physiology is about to publish an article on a study that employs White's ETF system, which is explained in a March 2009 article in the Respiratory Physiology & Neurobiology Journal.
