Khabari Crossing - The last US soldiers rolled out of Iraq across the border to neighbouring Kuwait at daybreak on Sunday, whooping, fist bumping and hugging each other in a burst of joy and relief.Their exit marked the end of a bitterly divisive war that raged for nearly nine years and left Iraq shattered, with troubling questions lingering over whether the Arab nation will remain a steadfast US ally.The mission cost nearly 4 500 American and more than 100 000 Iraqi lives and $800bn from the US Treasury. The question of whether it was worth it all is yet unanswered.Captain Mark Askew, a 28-year-old from Tampa, Florida who was among the last soldiers to leave, said the answer to that question will depend on what type of country and government Iraq ends up with years from now, whether they are democratic, respect human rights and are considered an American ally.Blood and dollars"It depends on what Iraq does after we leave," he said, speaking ahead of the exit. "I don't expect them to turn into South Korea or Japan overnight."The war that began in a blaze of aerial bombardment meant to shock and awe the dictator Saddam Hussein and his loyalists ended quietly and with minimal fanfare.US officials acknowledged the cost in blood and dollars was high, but tried to paint a picture of victory - for the troops and the Iraqi people now freed of a dictator and on a path to democracy. But gnawing questions remain: Will Iraqis be able to forge their new government amid the still stubborn sectarian clashes. And will Iraq be able to defend itself and remain independent in a region fraught with turmoil and still steeped in insurgent threats.Many Iraqis, however, are nervous and uncertain about the future. Their relief at the end of Saddam, who was hanged on the last day of 2006, was tempered by a long and vicious war that was launched to find non-existent weapons of mass destruction and nearly plunged the nation into full-scale sectarian civil war.Some criticised the Americans for leaving behind a destroyed country with thousands of widows and orphans, a people deeply divided along sectarian lines and without rebuilding the devastated infrastructure.Low-key exitSome Iraqis celebrated the exit of what they called American occupiers, neither invited nor welcome in a proud country.Others said that while grateful for US help ousting Saddam, the war went on too long. A majority of Americans would agree, according to opinion polls.The low-key exit stood in sharp contrast to the high octane start of the war, which began before dawn on March 20, 2003, with an air strike in southern Baghdad where Saddam was believed to be hiding. US and allied ground forces then stormed across the featureless Kuwaiti desert, accompanied by reporters, photographers and television crews embedded with the troops.The final few thousand US troops left Iraq in orderly caravans and tightly scheduled flights. They left at night in hopes it would be more secure and got out in time for at least some of the troops to join families at home for the Christmas holidays.The last convoy of MRAPs, heavily armoured personnel carriers, arrived in Kuwait around 07:30 local time (04:30GMT) on Sunday. Soldiers standing just inside the crossing on the Kuwaiti side of the border waved and snapped photos as the final trucks crossed over.'Awesome'Brittany Hampton, 21, was among the last soldiers to leave. "Awesome. It is awesome. I am very proud of it," she said.The final troops completed the massive logistical challenge of shuttering hundreds of bases and combat outposts, and methodically moving more than 50 000 US troops and their equipment out of Iraq over the last year - while still conducting training, security assistance and counter-terrorism battles.As of Thursday, there were two US bases and less than 4 000 US troops in Iraq - a dramatic drop from the roughly 500 military installations and as many as 170,000 troops during the surge ordered by President George W Bush in 2007, when violence and raging sectarianism gripped the country. All US troops were slated to be out of Iraq by the end of the year, but officials are likely to meet that goal a bit before then.The total US departure is a bit earlier than initially planned, and military leaders worry that it is a bit premature for the still maturing Iraqi security forces, who face continuing struggles to develop the logistics, air operations, surveillance and intelligence-sharing capabilities they will need in what has long been a difficult region.Despite President Barack Obama's earlier contention that all American troops would be home for Christmas, at least 4 000 forces will remain in Kuwait for some months. The troops will be able to help finalize the move out of Iraq, but could also be used as a quick reaction force if needed.'Chance for a successful future'Obama stopped short of calling the US effort in Iraq a victory in an interview taped on Thursday with ABC News' Barbara Walters."I would describe our troops as having succeeded in the mission of giving to the Iraqis their country in a way that gives them a chance for a successful future," Obama said.The Iraq Body Count website says more than 100 000 Iraqis have been killed since the US invasion. The vast majority were civilians.The US plans to keep a robust diplomatic presence in Iraq, foster a deep and lasting relationship with the nation and maintain a strong military force in the region.Campaign promiseUS officials were unable to reach an agreement with the Iraqis on legal issues and troop immunity that would have allowed a small training and counter-terrorism force to remain. US defence officials said they expect there will be no movement on that issue until sometime next year.Obama met in Washington with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki last week, vowing to remain committed to Iraq as the two countries struggle to define their new relationship.Ending the war was an early goal of the Obama administration, and Thursday's ceremony will allow the president to fulfil a crucial campaign promise during a politically opportune time.The 2012 presidential race is roiling and Republicans are in a ferocious battle to determine who will face off against Obama in the election.
And you wonder why USA is bankrupt. $800 billion is a lot of loot.
Not really. If you consider the jobs, factories, services, contractors,etc. etc. that the war created. The question now is what to do with this huge war machine and the thousands of people employed by it. Iran?
The USA is bankrupt along with the rest of the world because our economies are owned by private individuals who charge interest on money they simply invent.
The war is nothing more than a money making adventure and those that took part are fools first and bigots second.
@goyougoodthing, sounds like you need a hug :)
Jay: no, I don't. I would be very happy if people were not so stooopid. :-)
Enter the era of outsourcing military responsibility to murderous mercenary outfits like Blackwater, or Xe, or whatever other private militia you care to mention. But the public laps up the "withdrawal" lie while the embedded (read dumb-as-f***) mass media simper and whimper like a beaten dog that pees where and when it is told to pee, and never, ever, ever ask embarrassing questions like, Why hasn't any of these private militias actually been given a contract with the Iraqi government?
Come on people. Read between the lines.
When its black Libyians fighting for Gaddafi they are called mercenaries and those employed by the US are called private contractors.
Mercenaries like in Libie gets paid to kill the opposition and supporters...private contractors pay honest individuals and private security companies to look after their workers doing humanitarian work e.g building schools and hospitals and only shoot back when attacked. The Iraqi government did make use of PSC's to protect some ministers...why?...because they've seen to many assassinations by their own bodyguards turning on them
I am in Iraq, and still to this day there are attacks and bombings on a daily basis, what have the americans achived?
Time for all wars to come to an end, this killing of each other must stop. What the hell have we all become??
We are still the same warring species that have been on this planet from the start. We have become nothing better the the tribes of cave men that killed each other with clubs...we just have much more improved clubs now! So to answer your question: we are still the same and will not be changing much in nature.
God is the one who can do and prove better.

Once in every 15-days, I travel by Delhi Local and proud to say the experiences are overwhelming. Day before yesterday, while I was coming back from office I was recalling my last journey in EMU when I happen to meet 5 Delhi-Government school children. I was wondering if I could meet some parents this time who could share with me their experience of the first PTM which was held on July 29, 2016, in more than 1000 government schools in the national capital to assess the performances of students. Parents of around 16 lakh students studying in 2500 government schools in Delhi today attended a "Mega PTM" (Parents Teacher Meeting) organized to bring the quality of education at par with that imparted in private schools.
From the Tilak Bridge station, two-three friends happen to board the train and sat next to me. While they were chit-chatting, I could see that in no time they will pull out their cards and start playing (which I'm also fond of but not publicly), so I interrupted them. I asked them do any of your child studies in Government School of Delhi and have you attended the Mega PTM. One of the man out of the three came first and told me that her daughter studies in Class 8 of Government Girls' Secondary School in F1-F2 block of Nand Nagri Extension. He further told me that he visited his daughter's school for the first time on that day. He met his eighth-grader daughter's teachers, and was told "she's doing fine and will be in Pratibha."
Then I also told them that the Delhi Government is again hosting the second mega parent-teacher meeting on October 15 in over 1,100 government schools. For morning shift schools, the PTM will be held between 8 am and 1 pm and for evening shift schools, it will be held from 2 pm to 7 pm. Then I asked them would you be interested in attending the meeting? One of them told me that earlier they would never get to know about the performance of our wards. At least now we know exactly where our kids are weak. So why won't' we attend? Another father who was sitting quietly in the corner, told me Ma'am ap humse jyada padhe likhe hain, apse kya chupaein, my kids didn't informed us (me and my wife) about the meeting because there are exam results to discuss and they're scared.
Delhi's Second Mega PTM Welcomes all parents
The focus of this PTM will be on sharing results of the first term exams held after the government started its ambitious Chunauti 2018 scheme to improve learning levels and take feedback from parents. The target is to make sure that all children are able to read by November 14.
The report card of first term exams will be given to parents on the day of the PTM. At the PTM, schools have been asked to brief parents of Class 9 students about the no-detention policy. The criteria regarding minimum 25% score in summative assessments will be made clear to the parents. Importance of attendance will also be explained to parents. 75% attendance is compulsory to appear in final exams.
Schools have to show the answer sheets if parents ask for it. While the feedback received from parents will be noted down by teachers, they have also been asked to show classwork and homework notebooks.
For primary classes, teachers have to brief parents regarding punctuality, regularity and cleanliness. For classes 6 to 8, parents will be briefed about monitoring the activity of children at home and report cards will be given to them.
Maa ki pyari aao school,
Maa ki pyari aao school,
School me khilte h fool (flower).
In a first, a Mega Parent Teacher Meeting was organized by the Delhi Government. The full day PTM and the carnival atmosphere at these government-run schools was an entirely new experience for the parents who were sent hand-out invites ahead of the meeting. The parents received warm welcome from student volunteers after which they had long interaction with teachers. Tea and refreshments were also distributed. Primary objective of the mega PTM was to explain CHUNAUTI 2018 and the process of dividing classes into Groups according to the learning achievements.
What is CHUNAUTI 2018
In a bid to put a check on dropout rate of students and improve quality of education with special focus on the weakest students, Delhi government announced a new education reform plan – Chunauti 2018.
- Students from Class 6 to 9 will be mapped and the weakest students will be provided with "special focus" to enhance learning levels.
- The government will especially focus on the "weakest students" of class 9 to help ensure that they successfully clear class 10 by the year 2018, a move aimed at 'leaving no child behind' in its schools.
- Manish Sisodia, who also holds the education portfolio, said the "best and dynamic teachers" would work on the weakest students in all the schools, besides holding extra remedial classes for them
Coming back to the conversation with the parents, in their opinion, it is again gonna be a grand affair likewise the first time. They told that Delhi government enrolls nearly 16 lakh students in its schools. In the first PTM held on July 30, parents of at least 70% students showed up at schools – many for the first time. Let's wait and watch what happens this time!!
With this conversation, this little but enriching meeting came to an end as my de-boarding station arrived. While getting down we all wished each other a bright future.

Christine Evangelista, Sherry From The Walking Dead
Christine Evangelista plays Sherry on The Walking Dead. She recently appeared on The Talking Dead where she discussed "The Cell." During her interview with Chris Hardwick, she discussed how she landed her role, as Sherry, on the series. Evangelista actually taped her audition at her house and sent it in without even knowing what role she was auditioning for.
Christine Evangelista has played Sherry on The Walking Dead since 2015 yet she has only appeared on two episodes: "Always Accountable" and "The Cell." Christine didn't think she would be featured on the series again after her season 6 appearance. The actress then read The Walking Dead's comic series.
|Christine Evangelista Sherry From The Walking Dead
In the comic, Sherry marries Negan but then her emotions get the best of her. She didn't think she would miss her husband, Dwight, and her love for him leads to harm. Negan burns Dwight's face with an iron.
Evangelista was born on October 27, 1986 in Staten Island, New York. The 30-year-old has appeared on numerous television shows including The Good Wife, Law and Order and Bleed For This. Hopefully we'll see more of her on The Walking Dead.
Sherry and Dwight's love for each other is undeniable. We see Dwight beg Negan not to kill her which makes Negan decide to kill Dwight instead. Sherry convinces Negan to spare Dwight's life, but she is forced to marry Negan.
Don't miss the next episode of The Walking Dead:

Delightful DIY: Colorful Paper Lanterns
I am always on the hunt for affordable DIY projects that I feel like I'll have the ability and patience to accomplish. This is definitely one of them! Not to mention, the outcome is a gorgeous colorful paper lantern fit for either a dining room or a patio!
Leave it to Martha Stewart to have the best DIY projects around, and to make them seem possible in about an hour! I don't even care that she probably has a team the size of a small nation's army coming up with these ideas.
This particular project is really as easy as it seems! The proof is in the pudding: there aren't really even any instructions, just a set of photos that prove that it's as simple as taping circles of tissue paper to an existing lantern. It's actually fun to see the progression of the lantern as the pieces are added.
I'll file this project under "Things I Wish I Came Up WIth On My Own."
Check out the full project details on Martha Stewart: Make It: Paper Lanterns.

Leaving Traces Trailer (2014)
01 January 2014
Inspired by the twenty-fifth anniversary of 'Bull Durham,' a team of artists converged on the Durham Bulls' stadium to document the legendary minor league team's 2013 season. 'Leaving Traces,' a feature documentary, follows the artists - including renowned photographers Alec Soth, Hiroshi Watanabe, Hank Willis Thomas, Kate Joyce, Frank Hunter, and Alex Harris, and writer Adam Sobsey - as they confront the challenges of finding something new in a baseball park. While techniques and output vary widely, this diverse group is united by baseball's (and photography's) unique experience with time. The slow, repetitive movements often hide the roiling drama beneath. By interweaving stories about process and craft, 'Leaving Traces' evokes baseball's atmosphere and captures the struggle to make the unseen visible.

Brussels - Nato has no intention of launching new air operations in Libya despite deadly clashes taking place in a former bastion of late dictator Muammar Gaddafi, the alliance chief said on Thursday.Fighting erupted in the oasis town of Bani Walid earlier this week, three months after Nato ended its air war in Libya and declared it had accomplished its mission to protect the civilian population."We are not present in Libya and we have no intention to return," Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen told a news conference.Rasmussen noted that the UN mandate that authorised the operation was no longer active. The seven-month Nato bombing mission crushed Gaddafi's army, giving rebels an edge in the conflict."On October 31 we terminated the operation because we clearly assessed that we had done our job and done it successfully," he said. "This is also the reason why we have no intention to return. Our mission has been completed."Libyan Defence Minister Osama Juili declared on Wednesday that Bani Walid was back under government control after Monday's violence left at least five people dead.
Of course they wont come back.
Oil fields are now in Western hands. Mission accomplished.
Terrorists of note.
You don't give much credit to the Libyan people, do you ??
You just can't stop to insult them !!!!!
You mean the people running the country now ? 1000 times worse than Gadaffi.
Sickening Western countries created this mess NOT the Libyan people
All oil ends up on the market. There never is an a priori necessity to capture the oil wells. If the US had wanted they could have bought Saddam's oil at a discount without ever going to war. Same in Libya.
Like in Iraq, where the Nato countries got all of TWO oil contracts?
This kind of comment only comes from people who lack truer understanding and insight into the events unfolding in the Middle East. They're stupid.
Yet when Saddam Hussein invades Kuwait FOR THE OIL, nothing. When Moamar Gaddafi uses oil revenues to kill, maim, detain and torture tens of thousands of Libyans, nothing. When Russia protects its investments in Syria and gives a license to kill to the UNELECTED tyrant Bashar Assad who is killing thousands of Syrians who want nothing more than THE RIGHT TO VOTE, nothing.
These are people being stupid and stubborn.
Just another UN failure. They have left the country and its people worse off than if they had stayed out of it in the first place.
@Barry. What was so good about Gadhafi?
What was so good about Gaddafi.
The most literate population on the continent.
Free education A-Z
Free House hold Electricity.
Direct benefit from the countries resources to the countries people.
Now with the NATO gooks in power ?
Seems that the Libyan people disagreed with your view, Patrick/Barry. As did the Arab League, representing up to 350 million Muslims, who led the intervention in Libya, and Turkey, Nato's second-largest member, a country of 73 million Muslims.
That you would want Libyans to not have the RIGHT TO VOTE is reprehensible. Thankfully the vast majority of Libyans decided otherwise. As did Tunisians and Egyptians. As are Syrians.
No thanks to you.
of course NATO will come back to Libya once their strategies for resource exploitation comes under threat. wait and see!
Like in Iraq, where Nato countries received all of TWO oil contracts?
It would be best to read up on oil tenders to see how they work.

Afghan widows are struggling for survival. After their husbands' deaths, the women are faced with rape, poverty and social condemnation. One of them considers her life to have ended before it ever really began.
Gulghotay's world fell apart she when heard the news of her husband's death. They had been married for only three months and now he was suddenly dead. But Gulghotay didn't want to lead the life of a widow. She decided to drink a small bottle of acid and end her life.
Gulghotay lives in the eastern Afghan province of Maidan Wardak. She had been doing housework when a bicycle bomb went off in front of a police station in the neighbouring province of Ghazni, killing two people. Seven civilians were hospitalized, among them Gulghotay's husband. He died shortly thereafter from sustained injuries. His death was a shock for Gulghotay, says Mohammad Azim, brother of the young widow.
According to Azim, his sister was very happy with her husband. But now he is deeply concerned about her: "Gulghotay was at home with a friend when she drank the acid," he said. Fortunately, her friend managed to get her quickly to a hospital.
Women pushed "over the edge" But Gulghotay's fate is shared by many other Afghans. Over the past three decades, thousands of women have lost their husbands or other male relatives during the war. Since they depend on them, the women find it difficult to cope emotionally and financially with the loss and often fall into a state of depression.

Trackback Pingback Compatibility
I've been asking this question ever since I first starting playing with WordPress a couple of years ago: Why does WordPress implement this feature DIFERENTLY from other blog systems? I have THREE other blog systems: Movable Type (my main blog) and dotText, and Community Server (which subsumed DotText, both built on dotNet). All three of these trackback from one to another without a hitch…I create a post in one with a link to a post on either of the other two, and a ping is recorded on the receiving blog in the feedback or as a Trackback.
However, in WordPress, it is reuired that I go into the Trackback section of the target blog post and copy the Trackback URI and enter that separately into the "Send trackbacks to:" section.
I can understand , I think, not making this the default behavior, but I have yet to see an implementation of a way to set this as the default for a post.
I have heard various arguments from people on the WP forum here about how Movable Type has the Trackback/Pingback definitons wrong. I don't care what is defined as what. I want some compatibility and consistency. Given that ALL these other blogs (as well as a couple of others who feature "Trackback/Pingback" displays for posts, I sure wish I could do this with Wordpres. I have argued before that to require two addtional steps (copying a separate URL from the actual post's Permalink (which I use to point to the post…in order to also "ping" the post, is to lessen the appeal and the convenience of the Trackback/Pingback feature, which is to help notify blog authors of the posts of others who reference them, and this can help produce "blog conversations" (assuming the problem of spamming can be handled somewhat effectively).
Is there a setting in WP2 that I have missed, or an available plugin to enable my WP blog to automatically pingback to the blogs to which I link in one of my posts?

Fire causes evacuation, more than $15,000 in damages at MSUM
MOORHEAD – A fire that started in some construction materials piled near Snarr Hall at Minnesota State University Moorhead caused about $15,000 to $20,000 worth of damages and an evacuation of students here early Friday, according to fire officials.
Firefighters responded to the call on the northwest side of Snarr Hall on 14th Street South here about 2:57 a.m., said firefighter Trent Amundsen.
The fire began in some pallets stacked with Styrofoam meant for the construction of Snarr Hall's new roof, Amundsen said.
The pallets were about 40 feet from the building, which wasn't threatened by the fire, Amundsen said.
MSUM officials made the decision to evacuate the students from a nearby building, he said.
Firefighters had the fire knocked down and the scene cleared at about 4:15 a.m. They don't yet know what caused the blaze, Amundsen said. It remains under investigation.

Portland Trail Blazers vs. Los Angeles Lakers - 1/23/16 NBA Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Los Angeles Lakers (9-36) at Portland Trail Blazers (19-26)
NBA Basketball: Saturday, January 23, 2016 at 10:30 pm (Moda Center)
The Line: Portland Trail Blazers -10.5 -- Over/Under: 205.5 See the Latest Odds
The Los Angeles Lakers travel to the Moda Center to take on the Portland Trailblazers tonight.
The Lakers will be looking to avoid a sixth straight loss after getting thumped by the Spurs in a 108-95 defeat last night. D'Angelo Russell led the team in scoring with 18 points on eight of 10 shooting off the bench, while Jordan Clarkson and Louis Williams chipped in with 16 points each but while the final score looks respectable, the Lakers were always a couple steps behind the Spurs. The Lakers could have done with a little more production from Kobe Bryant who scored just five points, but really it was their defense that allowed too many fast break points which was the difference in the end. With the loss, Los Angeles falls to 9-36 on the season and 5-15 at home.
USA TODAY Sports
Meanwhile, the Trailblazers have won four of their last six games but are coming off a disappointing 104-98 loss to the Hawks. CJ McCollum led hte way with 28 points while Al-Farouq Aminu added 12 points, but Damian Lillard shot just eight of 22 for his 18 points. Overall it was a tight game until the last six minutes of the fourth quarter where the Hawks just executed their offense better and pulled away with the narrow win. Portland is now 19-26 on the season and 10-10 at home.
In ATS trends, the Lakers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last five games against a team with a losing record, while the Blazers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games against a team with a losing record and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games against a team below .400.
Head to head, the Lakers are 15-38 ATS in the last 53 meetings and 7-20 ATS in the last 27 meetings in Portland.
The Blazers have really found a nice bit of form lately and should be more than good enough to blow away a struggling Lakers team playing on the road without rest.

Paul Bissonnette of the Phoenix Coyotes is known for his fighting on the ice and his chirping on social media, but this tough guy has a soft heart for the homeless.
Bissonnette can be found spending his free time helping the homeless of Arizona. For the past two seasons, he hosted families from Central Arizona Shelter Services at Phoenix Coyotes games.
"Paul wanted to help others get to a game that would not have the opportunity otherwise," Kimberly Trichel said over email. Trichel is the Director of the Community Relations department for the Phoenix Coyotes.
According to Trichel, Bissonnette invited families to attend the game and the Phoenix Coyotes organization provided transportation as well as food and drink vouchers. Bissonnette met the families after the game.
"CASS has been a partner for years and we are happy to work with them to get a group of families out to a game and give them a night to have fun."
As he travels around the League for each game, he often talks about his encounters with the homeless on his social media accounts.
Last season, he won the Gila River Casinos Man of the Year Award for his work in the community. The award is one of the team awards presented at the end of each season.
When asked if there will be another game this season, Trichel said, "we will do it again this year — date is still TBD and Paul is always willing to help out when he can."
Bissonnette also works with Sauce Hockey for the charity The Healthy Scratch Foundation.

Consent is the voluntary agreement to sexual activities. Sexual assault is a crime in so far as the sexual actions and activities happen without the consent of the individual. Unless a person is 16 years old or older, the law says that the person cannot give consent.
The consent is valid only if it is given freely. If the person is paralyzed by fear or is afraid to react, there is no consent. Moreover, kissing or caressing someone doesn't mean that the person agrees to other sexual activities.
(Source: Guide d'information à l'intention des victimes d'agression sexuelle, Table de concertation sur les agressions à caractère sexuel de Montréal, pages 45-46)

Think what you want of American Idol, but how could I deny the show of Cover Wednesdays when its contestants had the chance to perform songs from the Lennon/McCartney.
David Cook rocked Eleanor Rigby and was definitely a favorite of mine (not because it's one of my favorite songs).
Amanda Overmyer definitely knocked You Can't Do That out of the water. But instead of tapping the inner Beatle, she sounded more like Janis -- obviously not a bad thing...
Carly Smithson's rendition of Come Together can be described simply as brilliant. She gives Joe Crocker a run for his money.

A Collingwood despatch dated the 19th inst. says ; - " The steamer Owen Sound, which arrived this morning reports having picked up the mate of the steamer Manitoulin, of the Great Northern Transportation Company, in a sailboat bound for Killarney, about six miles from the port. He states that about 11 a.m. on the morning of Thursday, 18th inst. while off Shoal Point, about four miles from Manitowaning, the Manitoulin took fire, and was completely destroyed. While trying to lower one of the boats so many crowded into her that the davits broke under the pressure, capsizing the boat, and throwing the people into the water, whereby Mr. Robert Henry, of Mudge Bay, and a little girl, name as yet unknown were drowned. The mate Mr. Johnston leaves for the burned vessel immediately on the arrival of Mr. A. Clark's tug, which was momentarily expected at Killarney.
No additional intelligence has been received respecting the terrible disaster to the fine steamer Manitoulin, of the Great Northern Transportation Co. burned yesterday at Manitowaning bay, with the exception that the fire was supposed to have originated from the explosion of a lamp in the engine-room. The Steamer Northern Belle immediately on her arrival from Algoma Mills this morning was despatched to the scene of the disaster, and until her return, which will probably be late to-morrow, nothing of a definite character as to the conditions of the steamer can be learned. It is, however, evident from the reports brought down by the steamer Owen Sound that the passengers and crew with the exception of two, escaped to shore in safety. The Manitoulin was a comparatively new steamer, built at Owen Sound in the spring of 1880, and was just entered on her third year's trade. She was valued at $35, 000.
A late despatch shows that the disaster was much greater then at first anticipated. It is now thought that from 20 to 50 persons have lost their lives. The names of those whose bodies have been recovered so far are - Robert Henry, Thos. Hanbury and wife, Geo. White, Collingwood; Jas. Lewis, Algoma Mills; J. Little, of Sullivan. Marpole & Co.; John Fitzpatrick, and a little girl, Fanny Proud.

Oregon coach Chip Kelly was named the Walter Camp Football Foundation's 2010 Coach of the Year on Monday.
The 12-0 Ducks face unbeaten Auburn in the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 10 after reaching 12 victories for the first time in the school's history.
Kelly is the first Oregon coach and the first Pac-10 coach since 1996 to win Coach of the Year honors.
He is in just his second year as Oregon's head coach. He was hired away from New Hampshire by Mike Bellotti to become the Ducks' offensive coordinator in 2007. After he was promoted last year, Kelly led the Ducks to a 10-3 record, a Pac-10 title and the Rose Bowl, and was named conference coach of the year.
Kelly agreed in September to a six-year contract extension that runs through the 2015 season.
Information from ESPN.com's Ted Miller was used in this report.

Old Crossleyans are banking on an expansive approach paying dividends in tomorrow's rescheduled North One East game at Darlington.
The home side have struggled to find their form all season - picking up just three wins - and finished on the wrong end of a cricket score at Broomfield earlier in the season.
But Crocs captain James Wainwright insists that while his side will travel with confidence, they won't be harbouring complacency.
"I think it's a game where we are well capable of getting a result," said Wainwright.
"But I don't think it's as easy as it might look on paper.
"Those three games they have won have come in the last five matches, so they've obviously managed to turn things around a little bit.
"I'm not really surprised; they have a massive pack and don't try to play much rugby and the way the weather has gone over the last couple of months will have definitely helped them.
"The good thing is the size of their pitch, which is probably the biggest we will play on all year.
"We'll try to get the ball wide as much as we can and if we can make sure we get a share of the ball we should be okay."
Like several of their Calderdale neighbours, the scheduling of a fixture on an originally blank weekend will leave Crocs shorthanded.
Chris Seymour, Rory Davies and Manny Riaz are all unavailable, while points-scoring back Leigh Thomas has left the club.
"We should still have enough to get a win," emphasised Wainwright.
Ireland's November Test matches will be broadcast live by Sky Sports for the first time from next year.
The Irish Rugby Football Union today announced a four-year deal with the broadcaster up to and including 2017.
Ireland's autumn games, which often feature clashes against the likes of New Zealand, South Africa and Australia, are currently screened live by the BBC.
Irish broadcaster RTE already hold rights to the RBS 6 Nations Championship through a direct agreement with the tournament organisers, the Six Nations.

Police plea after family threatened by armed raiders

"Threats were made against the woman and her children before the men made off in the family car."
The grey Audi A4 car, registration ERZ 3363, has not yet been recovered.
The PSNI spokesman added: "We are appealing for anyone who has seen the car since Monday to come forward."
Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives in Downpatrick on 101 quoting reference 1207 10/10/16 or the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Politics | Wed Jan 11, 2017 | 12:06pm EST
NEW YORK U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday said pharmaceutical companies are "getting away with murder" in the prices that they charge the government for medicines, and promised that would change.
Trump has made few public comments about drug pricing since he was elected but his campaign platform had included allowing the Medicare healthcare program to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies, which the law currently prohibits.
The comments knocked down shares of biotech and pharmaceutical makers by about 2 percent.
"We are going to start bidding. We are going to save billions of dollars over time," Trump said.

My Story
My Due Date
Postpartum Doula Services
I'm a thirty-something year old, trying to find my way through life after multiple losses. Married to my love, Beilal, a hard working, and adventurous man. A proud mother to Mr. Ethan, my smiling, always happy little man and Miss Isabel, our sweet angel we lost in October 2015.
I have a passion for music and it's healing abilities, and for connecting with people on a deeper more meaningful level. When I'm not adulting, I like to run around chasing Ethan, making him giggle, and wishing that I could be with him all day. I do best when I am out in nature, listening to all its sounds, and taking in all its energy. I love my home and always try to fill it with love and kindness.
With each day that passes, my heart is filled with love and remembrance for the sweet baby girl we lost far too soon. Life isn't easy anymore, and I have been challenged to find new meaning in everything.
My wish is that you find comfort and hope in my words, as reading others' stories has brought that feeling to me. Grief is never ending, I will grieve for as long as I love, so that means for a lifetime. Whether I embrace it, or let it live silently in my shadows, I know that it is always there. If you are experiencing grief, maybe one day you can accept it and have patience that it will change you in new and meaningful ways.
Peace & Love always.

PROPER wine is made only from grapes. So why can we smell and taste so many different fruits and other flavors in wine? This week's iDeal section looks at the role of fruits in Chinese cooking, so I thought it apropos to look at the role of fruit in wine.
Let's dismiss wines made from fruits other than noble grapes. Often called fruit wines, the best examples of these simple cloy beverages are at best only drinkable. Real wine uses the Vitis Vinifera species of grapes and the magic really starts when the grape juice undergoes fermentation. Yeasts eat the natural sugars of grapes during fermentation and the byproducts are alcohol, carbon dioxide and several hundred aromatic esters. Each specific ester has a specific aromatic profile, so when you smell apples in a white wine its because that same or similar aromatic ester found in apples is in the fermented grape juice. That may explain the complex aromatics. But why do white wines often taste like apples, pears, citrus fruits, peaches and other flavors, while many red wines have red and black fruit flavors?
The secret of complex fruit flavors in wines is related to the volatility of alcohol and the connection and interaction between our mouths and noses. When we drink wine, the heat and saliva in our mouths help evaporate part of the wine and these sensations reach and interact with our nasal passages sending fruit and other flavor sensations to our brain. So it's not merely an illusion — you are actually tasting many different flavors in wine.
Climate with an abundance of sunshine can make fruity wines, and for this week, I decided to introduce a very special wine producing island that's intimately tied to the sun. Welcome to beautiful Sicily, home to some of the world's best fruity wines.
Settled as early as 8000 BC by tribes from the Iberian Peninsula, the first archeological evidence of winemaking in Sicily dates back about 3,500 years ago when Phoenician traders brought vines to the island. Recently, some historians are suggesting that wine cultivated by island natives may predate the arrival of the Phoenicians. In any case, Sicily has Italy's longest winemaking history.
Homer's epic work, The Odyssey, brought the world's attention to Sicilian wine. Since ancient times the wines of Sicily have alternately been highly regarded and disparaged. For most the 20th century, the ripe grapes of Sicily were consumed locally or sold in bulk to provide sugar and alcohol to wines made in the more northerly wine regions of Europe. Sicilian wines themselves were considered overripe, too high in alcohol and lacking in elegance. In the wine world we call these wines fruit bombs.
But the problem was never the grapes themselves. The real culprit was excessive heat and lack of modern transportation and winemaking equipment. Throughout the winemaking process the heat and exposure to oxygen would start rotting the grapes and result in wines that were oxidized and lacked freshness and style. Now, with new technology, Sicilian wines are some of the most exciting and affordable Italian wines. They are also wonderfully fruity.
The sheer diversity of wine regions and styles in Sicily is astounding. This shouldn't be surprising because Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea with an area of more than 25,000 square kilometers and a population of 5.2 million. The terroir is varied, so there is a large number of native and non-native grapes, including Nero d'Avola, Nerello, Inzolia and Grillo. Sicilian winemakers are using Trebbiano, Muscat and Chardonnay white varieties and Sangiovese, Barbera, Syrah and Merlot red wine grapes to make award-winning wines. Some of the best producers of Sicilian native and non-native varietal wines that you can find in Shanghai are Planeta, Donnafugatta, Firriato and Settesoli.
The fabled Mount Etna volcano is located along the east coast of Sicily. Fine wines have been made in the shadow of Europe's tallest active volcano for thousands of years; but only recently have they received world attention. The picturesque sloping valleys below Mount Etna have fertile volcanic soil and plentiful sun that nurture numerous vines and olive trees. Traditionally, the wines of Mount Etna were overly rough and rustic for international palates, but as in other parts of Sicily the use of modern winemaking techniques and equipment have mitigated the negative influence of the ravaging heat and scorching sun while emphasizing the beautiful ripe and fresh fruit flavors. If you're interested in something truly different and distinctive at affordable prices, then I suggest you try these wines. Good Mount Etna producers with wines in Shanghai include Cantina Patria, Benanti Winery and Tenuta Terre.
Where to buy in Shanghai
Sicily is home to numerous distinctive regional varieties including Catarratto, Grillo and Inzolia white grapes and Nero d'Avola, Nerello and Mascalese red grapes.
Key term:
In the wine world baked is a negative term used to describe wines with fruit damaged by excessive exposure to heat.

ADODB.Connection error '800a0e7a'
Provider cannot be found. It may not be properly installed.
/scripts/sec.asp, line 21
Have given anonymous web user account on the server read/execute permissions to the following directories and subdirectories:

Here's where I try to make the connection in my code:
Set OraConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Oraconn.ConnectionString = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source=oraDB;User ID=user1;Password=password;"
oraCommandStr = "SELECT GUID FROM SECURITY_TABLE WHERE GUID = 'user2'"
Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Set objRS = OraConn.Execute(OraCommandStr)
Response.Write objRS.Fields("GUID")
Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong or have not checked?

London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) August 11, 2009 -- "Zen International" sources say that the firm's analysts believe that it is far too early for their quantitative easing programs to be withdrawn. On the contrary, they believe that the dearth of lending by the nations' banks and the indebtedness of their consumers will require the extension of stimulus programs to help keep credit flowing through their respective economies.
One of the "Zen International" sources said that it was no coincidence that the US and the UK's economies were proving more resilient to stimulus than other developed counterparts citing the fact that high debt levels had left consumers in these countries largely unable or unwilling to take on more credit and, in fact, had established a new trend for paying down debt rather than adding to it.
This, in and of itself, was ample reason to suspect that it would be a long time before the consumer would represent a strong showing in economic activity.
"Zen International" believes that central banks in both the US and the UK are raising the issue of exit strategies to reassure investors whose concerns over the excessive debt issuance by both nations may see their appetite for government bonds wane in the months ahead.
This would represent some serious problem for the finances of both nations as they need to raise money for the funding of their out-of-control public spending programs.

Actually I am not a fan of credit card. Not even have any credit card in my purse…hehe all the cards I have are debit card. Anyway, this kind of promotion by Citibank looks really interesting, isn't? Who don't want rebate? Almost nobody doesn't want it.
Well.. this is a new promotion by Citibank. Maybe you are interested, so I am here just to inform you. First of all, you can instantly apply for this card here.
I am not interested to its T & C because I didn't acquire one to me, but if you want to have this credit card…. it is very important to thoroughly read its T & C.
What I am interested with it.. actually its rebate. The more we spend, the more rebate we will get. Meaning that Citi is so happy and welcome you if you are a big spender. Hehehe Anyway, this is a win-win situation right? Rather than having a credit card that did not give rebate to us?
Let's take petrol expenses as an example. The oil price (Ron97) is always increases regardless of world oil price huh? So by having Citibank Cash Back Platinum Credit Card.. you will be able to cover the cost of rising price of oil (if you are using Ron 97).
Also get RM60 cash back upon card approval and when youregister to pay your monthly bills (Promotion valid for new Cardmembers approved by 31stMarch 2011. Cash Back to be credited upon one successful transaction through Citibank One Bill within 60 days after promotion end date).
Sound tempting, right? 🙂
PS: It is like a 2011 trend in credit card business to give cash bank. Do you know Maybank Dual Card also give 5% weekend cash back?
