"In the Motherhood," an ABC sitcom premiering tonight, is based on a Web series of the same name, but what makes it work is that it's also based on recognizable human behavior -- the warp and woof (and the bow and the wow) of everyday life as lived by three allied moms. Together, they share grievances, experiences and witticisms -- many of them well worth sharing and very well shared.
Long story short: These girls are golden.
"Motherhood's" pluses include an awesome twosome: Cheryl Hines of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" as Jane, a single mom with a job and a male nanny, and Megan Mullally of "Will and Grace" as Jane's friend Rosemary, a wisecracking troublemaker who's too funny for words -- most words, anyway. Mullally was more important to "Will and Grace" than either Will or Grace, or that other guy who was always hanging around.
"Oh, God, I miss being pregnant," Mullally says on the premiere. Why? Because "it makes your legs look so skinny." When she sees the polite deference a pregnant woman receives in the line at the coffee shop, she decides to have a pretend pregnancy of her own. It goes well -- a stranger fetches her a latte -- until a stuffed armadillo falls out of her coat during a tussle over a Blu-Ray player.
Mullally's meticulous timing, and her sardonic approach to the character, make her the most cherishable of the group. But there's one more funny mother involved: Jessica St. Clair as Emily, blond and, well, witchy. This character comes across as less likable than the other two, perhaps because she's depicted as adhering mindlessly to political correctness and also throws nasty tantrums when something ticks her off.
She looks and acts a little like Elizabeth Hasselbeck of "The View." In fact, "In the Motherhood" is sort of "The View" with mommies, and a script. The script -- in fact the first two, since both episodes were available for preview -- is a neatly balanced compilation of character comedy and sociocultural commentary.
The premiere even has a kind of theme -- when to tell the truth and when to substitute the expedient lie. Emily and her husband, determined to bring up their children by the book -- whichever book is currently in vogue -- decide that it's lying to let the kids continue to believe in Santa Claus. Cleaning up this lie results in confusion, hurt feelings and preschool pandemonium.
It's no spoiler to reveal that the Santa story line evolves in such a way as to give Mullally the last word, and the last line, in the episode: "That's not blood; it's Christmas juice." You'll have to be there.
One more sweet surprise on the show: Horatio Sanz, popping back after several years on "Saturday Night Live" and a few so-so movies. Some viewers may not recognize him: Not only has he grown a beard, but he has lost at least 40 pounds. He's also considerably subdued but still comedically proficient. He plays Jane's male nanny -- a "manny" -- who struggles to have a life of his own.
In another of tonight's plot threads, Jane has a date on Friday night, her first in too long a time, and she's very excited about it even though the guy keeps lapsing into Borat impressions ("great sook-sess!") at the office. The sex jokes are bawdy enough that they can't really be repeated here, and yet "Motherhood" is an 8 o'clock "family hour" show. Nobody seems to care much about that any more. Besides, when a show is genuinely funny, who wants to carp about racy references?
As fluidly directed by Richard Shepard, "In the Motherhood" pretty strongly makes the case that the death of the sitcom has been exaggerated. And yet the show (which is taped without a studio audience or a laugh track) doesn't quite have the aura of something that will be welcome in American homes for, say, the next four or five years. Maybe no sitcoms will be able to do that anymore; perhaps it's just one way that television and its viewers have changed.
The thing to do is to enjoy the good shows while they last, however many months or years that may be. "In the Motherhood" deserves a relatively long and reasonably happy life, but so have many other shows that nevertheless didn't get them.
In the Motherhood (30 minutes) premieres tonight at 8 on Channel 7.

Candlelight images from Gaza
Sometimes a picture is more powerful than a thousand words. Photographer Lawrence Cain has sent us the following beautiful gallery of images of Palestinian children in Gaza.
In his caption, Lawrence says: " this 'video' should in no way be considered, or promote, an attack on a particular people or culture .."
He wants it to be "strictly educational, to highlight certain realities that have gone especially unnoticed by the regular viewing American public and ideally to motivate everyone to become better, more compassionate, more aware, more conscientious and more sentient beings ..."

Bikers tempted by the warm weather to jettison their usual protective clothing are being warned - 'don't do it'.
The warning comes from the South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SCAS), whose consultant pre-hospital care practitioner Mark Ainsworth-Smith said: "As a biker myself I know the fun that can be had when riding motorcycles. However bikers are a very vulnerable group. They form only one per cent of road users but account for 19 per cent of all road deaths.
"Wearing protective gear, such as gloves, boots, motorcycle jackets and trousers can prevent serious injuries. Bikers should always ensure that their helmets are fastened securely and that they ride in a responsible manner."
He said car drivers have to play their part too.
"We would also encourage other motorists to be aware of bikers on the roads when manoeuvring, overtaking, or when entering or exiting junctions."

Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Glenn Close and Keith Carradine are the only non-Latino cast members of the made-for-TV Stones for Ibarra. Close and Carradine portray a San Francisco couple who feel they've lost touch with life's meaning. They journey to a tiny Mexican village, where they find themselves sharing the "companionship of death" with the locals. The film is at its best when emphasizing its mysticism and clashes of custom. Adapted by Ernest Kinoy from a novel by Harriet Doerr, this was originally presented as a Hallmark Hall of Fame special.

The relationship between the Catholic Church in Italy and the country's Fascist regime began seriously to unravel in the year 1938. Until then, two important considerations had mitigated the short-comings of Mussolini in the eyes of the Church: the signing of the Lateran Treaty and the Concordat. The first had ended years of strife between the Church and the country that had been the host of the Throne of St. Peter since the first century; the second had created Italy in the Church's image, at least to some extent.
As noticed previously, since the Concordat, Catholicism had become Italy's state religion, the Church supported financially by the state. All schools, and not just Catholic ones, taught Christianity from the Church's perspective, and marriage had become reserved for the Church. Little wonder many in Italy's Church believed Mussolini to have been 'a man of Divine Providence', for the contrast with Liberal Italy between the 1860s and 1929 could not have been greater.
The Church had paid a price, however, and the size of the payment grew as the years of Fascist rule accumulated. The first, and arguably greatest, price was the abolition of the Catholic political party. This had been a major factor in Italian politics and its sacrifice had been deemed to have been of lesser importance than the Lateran Treaty and Concordat. Of course, one needs to be aware that not all Catholics had welcomed the bargain: Italy's Church contained Catholics with varying views on the world, with many emphasizing the cause of economic justice set out in the Encyclical Rerum Novarum, a cause which underpinned the Catholic Party in the Italian Parliament.
Others were first and foremost social conservatives, whose main concern was with the authority of the Church and with the prestige of Italy as a nation state. Some of these have been termed 'clerico-fascists'. To Pope Pius XI, this cleavage presented a serious challenge: he wished for a unified Church and resented the incursion of political arguments within the ranks of the Church. In the Pontiff's view, these squabbles detracted from what truly mattered, the Church's task of spreading the Gospel. This task had been impeded by the rise of Liberal, Nationalist Italy, and the removal of that obstacle took precedence in Pope Pius XII's eyes.
This did not mean that he embraced Fascism in the way that some of the clerico-fascists in the Church did, far from it. The Holy Father publicly described the Fascist oath as being incompatible with Catholic teaching, and this should have been a warning for the bishops and priests in the country whose patriotism overrode their sense of Catholicism. Pope Pius XII had finely-tuned antennae that picked up the merest whiff of ideologies that attacked the essence of the Gospel. In this series we have already seen that the Pontiff clashed with Mussolini over Catholic Action, the social organization that had remained in being after the abolition of the Catholic Party.
It was a clash that would repeat itself in 1938, as the dictator tried to move closer to the ideological world across the Alps in Germany. The two Fascist regimes had already found each other in Spain, where they supported General Franco's nationalists. In 1938, two events removed the obstacles to greater co-operation and, finally, an alliance between Berlin and Rome. The first was the removal of Austria from the political map of Europe. To date, Italy had guaranteed the survival of the Alpine republic, where the regime mirrored the preoccupations of Rome. Yet Hitler was determined to incorporate what he saw as fellow Germans into his Reich.
To Mussolini, this was incomprehensible. After all, he had, correctly, described racism and the ideals of race as "a stupid mistake". This was six years earlier, in 1932. The arrival of German troops on the Italian border made him nervous, for across that border lay southern Tyrol, a wholly German region which Italy had acquired as part of the Versailles Treaty in 1919. A previous German attempt to install a puppet Nazi regime in Vienna had failed precisely because Mussolini had opposed it. Now, however, the tables were turned. The Duce was convinced that Germany's army could not be stopped by his troops, indeed, was no longer convinced this was desirable.
In the aftermath of the annexation in April 1938, the Catholic Church in Austria and in Italy, as well as the Papacy, all received a serious shock. Vienna's Cardinal Innitzer and one or two of the Austrian bishops had urged the people to vote in favor of annexation. They believed that it would remove the threat of Marxism, and they believed Hitler would maintain the privileges of the Church as secured in the 1933 Concordat. They were sorely mistaken on the last count. Hitler closed all Catholic schools and silenced Catholic opposition. The final act was an open attack on Cardinal Innitzer's residence, after the latter had fronted a demonstration against the Nazis.
One month later, Hitler was being fêted by Mussolini and the Fascists as he visited Italy. The shockwaves that emanated throughout the Italian Church could hardly have been more severe. True, there were still some clergy for whom nationalism played a more important role than their Faith, but their numbers were dwindling fast. The oppression of the Church in Germany had already caused Pope Pius XI to ask the man who was to succeed him, Eugenio Pacelli, to write the Encyclical Mit Brennender Sorge, in 1937. What had happened in Austria had served only to underline the threat that Nazism posed to the Church and her teachings. It was dawning on many just what the price-tag was for the promise of Fascism to ward off the Church's enemies: Socialists, Marxists, Liberals and Freemasons. That price-tag was a new enemy, more ruthless than any except for the Russian Bolshevists.
Hitler's visit to Italy in April 1938 brought that new menace very close to the heart of the Church. Indeed, the German dictator was received by the Italian king in the Quirinal, the former palace of the Popes in Rome. It was followed by a renewed Fascist crackdown on Catholic Action in Italy. Mussolini's advisors were convinced by now that Catholic Action served as an incubator for a generation of militant Catholics, unreached by Fascist teaching. They were right, for this is exactly what the Pope had in mind when he had prevented Catholic Action from following the Catholic Party into oblivion. A secret service source reported that Catholic Action was a political party in waiting, prepared for when Fascism and monarchy were to topple. He was right. From it grew the Christian Democratic Party, which ruled Italy from 1945 to its demise in the late 1980s.
What caused most in the Church to abandon any remaining regard for the Fascists was Mussolini's introduction of Anti-Semitic legislation in the autumn of 1938. Italy's 70,000 Jews were amongst the best integrated in Europe, and had contributed to Italian life in all forms, from cuisine to politics. Amongst the founders of the Fascist party there had been many Jews, and one recalls Mussolini's remarks on the stupidity of racism. In its early days, Fascism had been markedly free of Anti-Semitism, and the party had exempted the Jews from the rules of the Concordat, to the dismay of the more Anti-Semitic wing of Italy's Church. All that came to an end with the stroke of the pen of a man desperate to ingratiate himself with Germany's racist dictator.
Pope Pius XI's reaction was typical of the man: he offered teaching posts to Jewish professors dismissed from Italian universities, and provided jobs for many other Jews. It convinced Pius that he had been wrong in seeing Mussolini as the man of Divine Providence; instead, he realized that the Italian strongman had been drawn into the vortex of Germany's neo-pagan rulers. Of course, Mussolini's own original dislike of the Church and the clergy resurfaced around this time, too. However, there were still those in the Church, true clerico-fascists these, who could bless the Italian army as it entered France in 1940, and some who remained staunchly supportive of the regime until its fall in 1943. Few went as far as the Archbishop of Palermo, who prayed for Divine intervention against possible British and American invaders, but many let their Italian hearts rule their Catholic heads, nonetheless.

He moved to Scotland at the age of 18, and attended the University of Wales, College Cardiff (then the Jesuit University of Antwerp, Belgium), and the University of Edinburgh, where he gained a masters. Schnitker completed his Ph.D. in medieval history at the same university. During college and through the study of the Middle Ages, he regained contact with his own Catholic roots.
Since graduating, Schnitker has taught at the universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, before moving to the Maryvale Ecclesiastical Institute, where he is the senior supervisor of Ecclesiastical History. The institute specializes in long-distance learning, and this allows Schnitker, his wife, son and daughter to live in the countryside of Perthshire, Scotland.

He has written for a number of Catholic newspapers and magazines, both in Britain, North America and Holland.
In the past Schnitker has been involved in curating exhibitions, both at a local and national level, and was responsible for the historical St. Ninian's pageant in Edinburgh in 2010 for the state visit of the Holy Father to the United Kingdom. He recently completed a book on the culture of the devotion to Our Lady, and is currently finishing a book on the memory of the saints in Scotland.

Well if it lives for a year..... i might add flaps to it and also something else.......
This wing rules....... and the fuselage is a speeding bullet!
Mounting the Neu black goodness now, excuse me.
As for the Fuse opening or cut out on the nose, yes, that was my Absolute. And your right, there is sooo much stuff packed into that vid, I even watched in slow motion to catch all the different planes.
The cut out never presented any problems structurally. I've done it on the S14 too and never had any issues. The reason for that opening is two fold.
Firstly, when trying lipo in what I call the "early days", there wasn't a lot of experience to draw upon and I was testing the claimed 30C burst enerland cells at 40+ in some HP set ups. I needed instant access to the drivetrain for accurate post flight temps, as well as a way to regulate airflow. By using tape to regulate the opening size, I was able to figure out optimum cooling. The ESC was always the bottle neck with those setups, but now with the Super 300 / the cells available / all the data we as a community have, HP is easy for anyone to do and it's very reliable.
Secondly, I can charge the batt without removing the wing. Not a recommended practice / compromises safety / it's an expensive batt holder if there's a fire / and all the rest; I know, and do it anyways.
Oh yeah, one other reason on the Absolute for the cut out was to allow the the CC125, that I used to use, to sit up in the airflow just slightly (best cooling ever), and pack a fat lipo under it. That was for a 5S 2P / 1509 1.5D set up. -that was a ripper (blew lots of capps).
I need to go through my flight logs and see some of the specs from that period. I have lots of data from then and it'll help optimize the new motor / batt selection.

No doubt it will be powerfull No doubt it will use a Neu and No doubt it will use a high S number of 60C rated cells!
Oh, incase anyone was wondering..... i did slightly file the TE of the wing tips to make them pointyer..........

Well,I did not hesitate much for its price and got myself last one from SUSA "yellow and red -gorgeous"
as Eric said.I hope he has a good taste but will see it in one week.Just want to check personally ,what is so special about this particular plane. My best guess is its a big molded brother of Bandit,they share same airfoil and ironically thinned RG-15 is fastest airfoil I have ever flew/"SRTL" -thinned RG-15/ .I have had a Bandit and just loved it.Still have no idea why did I sell it.
Bob also told me he just picked up some new planes from airport and addmited he does not even know what are they
Eric,you right my "planet earth" is just one phone call far from "Candy factory" I should cancell long distance service
I gotta party with these guys sometime!
I've been looking at calcs for a 6S 4900 based set up.
Motor Neu 1515 1D 6.7
Batts 6S 4900
prop 15 x 17 RFM trimmed slim
Net: 4700 watts output / 17.8 volts loaded at 280 amps / 70,000 motor rpm / 617 oz static thrust at 168 MPH pitch speed / prop 10,500 rpm. ---BTW, we've run a 1512 1D at a similar rpm on 5s without any problems, using F5B style throttle management.
The Castle Creations ESC's and F5B Neu motors continue to amaze. Because these calcs are hard to visualize, I'll reference a couple of posts.
About a year and a half ago, we did this 200 amp 5s set up;
That was similar to the new Neu set up, but a 200 amp limit was as hard as I felt comfortable pushing the CC125 on those 5S cells (voltage ripple>blown capps). The CC 300 ESC and Neu lipos open the door wider, a lot wider, now.
In relation to an F5B powered S14 (4S 4900 / 1512 1D 6.7 / 16x17 slim / plus 7 yoke), or the heavier Kamie with the same drivetrain, seen in the next link, The Neu Absolute will push about 1500 watts more power (duh, add 50% more cells;-) and it will have 30 mph faster pitch speed.
Heres the link to show F5B power in the Kamelot:
My S14 never really liked the pushed higher speed enevelope (got pitch sensitive and felt twitchy). So I never did any sport flying with it, just humble attempts at actuall F5B laps (not worth video-ing). And those laps were always a higher count with the standard set up as my errors were less costly. But the Kamie and Absolute were fine with the smaller cut down "speed" props, higher cell count and higher speeds.
In the Absolute, it all looks to be an easy fit, everything just drops in and nothing is stressed or squeezed. From the nose it goes gearbox/motor, then esc on top of 2s 4900, then 4s 4900 under the wing, then receiver pack and receiver. Appears to be pretty close CG wise and batts have room to slide back if needed.
I considered going nuts with a smaller gear reduction; bumping up the prop rpm and using a smaller prop. But in the end, I have decided that top speed isn't really what this plane is about. So, accelleration, or technically speaking, the "zippy factor", has drawn me towards the above, something "moderate" between F5B course entry speed and crazy fast.
Let's see. All parts are now in hand and accounted for except:
-new Hosemonster bungee: delivery expected this week
-CC Super 300: delivery expected this week
-motor: need to make a decision (waiting on some feedback), then I'll get that ordered, and hopefully get it this week also!!!
I feel an all nighter coming soon.

Just got mine an hour ago red/yelloy ,as Eric said "gorgeous".
Yes it is gorgeous.And 18 oz lite.I dont want to drill any holes in it for a while
Some nice things just sit under your nose for years and You dont realise ,that's the ONE untill You got it in your hands.
You talk me in to it with your teser posts.
Very happy now Yuri.
Now, you have a responsibility my friend. You need to share the luv!!!
Please post pics ASAP.
Do you have any idea how hard it was to choose between these colors?
The yellow red actually looks much better to me. But due to maximising contrast perception at dusk, the red white Absolute won out by a narrow margin; due to the day glow colors I will add to the leading edges.
Still no pic? Stop reading here and go shoot film
Eric, you are the man!
Good to see this plane beying to popular as it is what i have!
The numbers look good. You will have to make a slot in the nose for that big CC 300 to fit on top of the 2S pack i guess. But that is easy!
Also at those amps you might want to use the newer 30C/60C rated cells from either Neu or maybe Polyquest or even Kokam.
Don't make the prop to small is what i would say. More amps is better then killing the motor with to much revolutions.
Higher amps also means more power so....... Hoooooo Yaaaa!!!!!!
Looking forward to the VIDEO !!!
P.s. my humble 4S 4900 should be in the post by now i hope. FlyDMA?
fit check
Here is how things are lining up.
Hoping to hear back from tech support on final motor selection.

We'll have to see if she stays together first. I don't normally video tape maidens, but will consider it this time around.
If you have access to the plane shown in your avatar, you can make it from SLC for this evenings fly session! :-) Bring ear plugs, this will be a loud event when we motor test prior to flight.
Absolute won't be ready by this evening, but bungee rail launcher testing is scheduled and that should be fun.
When you do make it, fire off an advanced warning PM and we'll hit the local fields; lot's to see!!!
We just had an all electric, all weekend affair at Sepulveda basin's Apollo Field; camping, BBQ, night flying, the works.
Okay, stop distracting me! back to pedal launcer tweaking..... :-)

DC07 replacement brush roll
Bought this item because the 'also-listed DC07 equivalent brush roll' was not actually the same design as the original - Yourspares refunded the original order and processed this replacement. This Dyson-original part seems to be working OK and is the correct design for my DC07. Pity about the price difference between the two (supposed) options but the much cheaper one is not the right design. Thanks, Yourspares!

Repeated Games with Incomplete Information
During the height of the Cold War, between 1965 and 1968, Robert Aumann, Michael Maschler, and Richard Stearns collaborated on research on the dynamics of arms control negotiations that has since become foundational to work on repeated games. These five seminal papers are collected here for the first time, with the addition of "postscripts" describing many of the developments since the papers were written. The basic model studied throughout the book is one in which players ignorant about the game being played must learn what they can from the actions of the others. The original work, done under contract to the United States Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, was intended to tackle the gradual disarmament problem, in which neither player knew what his own payoff would be for any given agreement, because of uncertainty about the other side's arsenal and weapons production technology. But the research soon became much more generalized, covering information concealment and revelation, signaling and learning, and related ideas in any repeated competitive situation. The first four chapters of the book treat the competitive zero-sum side of the theory of repeated games. Chapter five takes up cooperative phenomena where one player may want to signal information to another. An extensive bibliography covers all items mentioned in the main text, in the postscripts, and in the introduction. The bibliography also includes a compilation of published papers and books that refer to the original reports.

Fan fiction comes of age - .PDF file.
Fan fiction — new stories inspired by popular books, shows, movies, comics, music, and games — is not new. Titles such as Fifty Shades of Grey, by English author EL James, started life as fan fiction and features characters based on those in the Twilight books. Therefore, Amazon's recently announced 'Kindle Worlds' fan-fiction platform is capitalising on a well-established genre rather than inventing a new one.
Amazon has started by doing a deal with Alloy Entertainment, Warner Bros' book packaging division, covering three book/television series crossovers: Gossip Girl, The Vampire Diaries and Pretty Little Liars.
The deal enables Amazon to license 'fanfic' authors to write new stories based on the characters and themes featured in the 'worlds' created by the authors of the original works. Other World licensors will be added. Fanfic authors get 35 per cent of net revenues, after royalties are paid to the World licensors, from Kindle sales…

Instead of leaving employees to schlep their holiday packages to the post office, allow them to bring their cards and packages to the company mailroom.
Example: JFK Medical Center's Ship-A-Weigh program allows employees to drop off packages all year long on Wednesday and Friday mornings, and more often during the holidays. Employees save 40 percent on shipping by using the mailroom, and they can pay for their postage in cash or by check. The Florida medical center also has a stamp machine in its cafeteria.

Arcadia W. is currently a junior at SYA Spain. She comes to SYA from Irvington High School (NY). Read more of Arcadia's Campus Reporter work throughout the year here.
Three months left, absolutely unbelievable! As I look back to last September and the person that came to Spain, I feel as though it has been years, but I also feel as though these past six months have flown by in a series of amazing, action-packed events.
The amount of freedom and responsibility given throughout this year will allow you to truly find yourself, your values and most importantly your people. I like to describe this year as a clean slate; coming to Spain, you are not only able to be yourself, you are almost forced to become the person that you are destined to be.
You will soon come to understand the term "independence". While it's true that your Spanish mom loves to cook for you, there are many aspects aside from food that you will learn to make a part of your daily routine. On your thirty minute Tranvía ride, you might realize that shampoo and conditioner is way heavier to carry than you thought, not to mention that it runs out all the time and you have to replace it. Living with a foreign family forces you to actively decide how you want to present yourself. Whereas at home, it's easy not to care about making your bed or doing the dishes; when you live with new people these once chores are now things you voluntarily do. This is not to say that over the course of nine months you have to hide your messiness, only that you might strive to be a generous, active member of your family.
Money! This will definitely be a difficult period for everyone. I highly recommend making yourself a budget, and being aware of your spending as this can definitely be difficult at first. Although clothes are much cheaper here in Spain, be careful not be fooled, as everything adds up.
It's up to you...
Your life in Spain has the potential to be action packed with adventures and culture. While this is true, it is up to you to take advantage of these opportunities that you are given. SYA will help you complete meaningful volunteer work, sports, cultural learning and even help you gain work experience if that is what you desire, but you have to remember to fully utilize these great resources. While school work is most definitely a priority, it is vitally important to make use of these unique opportunities.
You will most likely leave SYA with a specialty degree in travel planning. One of our favorite activities at SYA is independent travel, where once you reach a degree of language acquisition and are academically secure, you are given permission to travel with a group of three friends completely on your own. While SYA is very involved in making sure your travel plans are secure, you and your friends must complete the itinerary and book the trains, planes and hostels. The trust and confidence that you gain as a result of this freedom to travel will make future traveling seem like a breeze.
Above all, this year will be one huge adventure. You will make countless memories and experience independence. There will be a learning curve on just about everything, but every step is a great accomplishment. Remember to enjoy your time in Spain, take advantage of all the incredible opportunities and disfruta la vida!!

Arkansas AAU Football League rallies to stop the violence
Families and football players rallied together on the steps of the state capitol to stand up to violence. The Arkansas AAU football league teamed up with the "Stop the Violence" campaign in hopes of drawing attention to the violence in the Little Rock area.
Former Cowboys player, now AAAU football commissioner, Reggie Swinton led the rally Sunday.
"This is where I grew up and I love it very dearly," Swinton said. "I've seen so many of my friends get killed and I don't want to see the youth of today especially my children."
Swinton said the league planned the rally three weeks ago.
James Cain, one of the AAAU organizers, said this event was imperative to teach the players about taking care of their own community.
"I was always raised if you can't take care of home, you can't take care of somewhere else.We have to acknowledge the problems going on here in our community and that way we can take it and help other communities, " Cain said.
According to the FBI, in 2012, Little Rock had the second highest murder rate among small cities. Averaging 23 murders per 100,000 people in Little Rock.
Cain said violence seems to be escalating much quicker that it was when he was growing up.
"Back then when you argued you talked it out, you argued but then you shook hands, now no one wants to talk problems out anymore. They think violence is the way and it's not."
Swinton said the rising crime is affecting everyone.
"Crime is crime, nobody wants to get that phone call. No parent does. I don't care what color, what nationality you are, let's as men do something about it."
The AAAU hopes that more organizations promote the "Stop the Violence" initiative.
Editors note: Reggie Swinton played for Murray State not University of Arkansas.

Re: Domasa Dupont and Marceline Dupont
Annie Carlile 12/29/12
Thank you much. You are an angle. I never thought about Marcelline's previous marriage with regard to these two children. She was a baby machine. I now need to trace three or four of her children supposedly born in the USA. You have to appreciate that Exurie born in L'acadie moved to Napierville, Lecolle, Henryville, St Hermeneguild and at one point to USA where he was godfather to William my grandfather and endded up in St Hermeneguild where he died. His father Francois fathered 23 children with three wives. Follow that??? Thanks once again you cleared my head on this matter.

Opponents of the Bush tax cuts say that they favor the rich. Steven E. Landsburg, however, argues that the opposite is true: the Bush tax cuts have favored the middle class and poor more than the rich. In fact, he contends that the tax code is more progressive because of them.
Landsburg analyzes the effects of the Bush income tax cut and notes that the non-rich received big tax cuts. Focusing on income taxes only, he finds:
- A married couple had a taxable income of $20,000 to $60,000 received an income tax cut of 24 percent.
- In contrast, a married couple that made $350,000 received a tax cut of only 12.5 percent, while those making $1 million got an even smaller cut.
- Pre-Bush, the $1 million a year couple paid 33 times as much as the $60,000 people; today they pay more than 38 times as much.
When including all the Bush tax cuts on capital gains, dividends, inheritance and boosts to child-care tax credits, the poor still benefit most. According to Landsburg:
- The biggest percentage tax cut -- about 17.6 percent -- went to taxpayers in the second-lowest quintile (lower middle class).
- The middle class received a tax cut of 12.6 percent, while the upper middle class received a tax cut of 9.9 percent.
- The richest quintile received a slightly larger tax cut of 12.7 percent.
So, the Bush tax cuts have made the tax code more progressive.

Spring Lake, NC (PressExposure) May 22, 2011 -- So often small business owners find it challenging to identify and employ dependable people with skills to perform at high levels with any longevity. And when they do, they must stay competitive to keep them working. Ironically, the employment rate is still hovering around 8.8% according to United States Department of Labor and that is down from 2010. However, it stands to reason that there are people seeking jobs.
Lisa Thomas, Success and Leadership Coach, recently delivered a keynote address to local businesses and potential employees at a business and opportunity expo in Cary, NC. As a service, she provides life coaching for women. Additionally, she offers helpful articles and videos. Her intention was to provide potential employees a method for finding the right employer who would be offering the right job at the right time.
She began with asking "How would you like to get paid and never have to work?" Everyone responded with their hands raised. Lisa then stated "I'm about to share with you how you as a potential employee can get paid and never work again. For business women seeking employees, I'm about to introduce you to a method of finding potential employees that will readily accept your positions with vigor and passion."
The secrets revealed at this event were not limited to participants seeking career or staff positions, but applicable to those facing many of life's challenges. In fact, the secrets set the participants up for what she called "discovering a better you." These secrets were also revealed on NBC 17, My Carolina Today and many were moved to take action. The life coaching for women secrets are now available via a series of online videos and articles.
She explains, "Most of our lives we are taught to get an education, get a good job and make good money, but rarely do we stop to think of our own passions and desires and if we do, we quickly dismiss them. In my experience, the happiest people pursue what they love while others suffer in careers, marriages and other relationships they dislike."
Lisa further says, "The video series opens up the window to new opportunities and takes women on a journey of self-discovery.

The bank has "profoundly" apologised for the glitches - which it claims has been caused by a "complex technical issue" with its internet banking systems.
According to its latest statement, services are still down for many thousands of customers - although the mobile banking app is not affected.
HSBC has promised to reimburse any customers who incur fees because of the disruption, which began on Monday.
It has stressed that the outage has not been caused by a malicious act such as a cyber attack.
John Hackett, HSBC UK's chief operating officer, said: "Our customers continue to have issues with HSBC online and mobile banking. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.
"Our IT team has been working non-stop since Monday morning to find a solution. This has involved many tests, diagnostics and trial truns. We are getting closer to solving the problem, but are not there yet."
He asked for disgruntled customers to be patient when contacting HSBC's call centres or visiting a branch, as the bank is currently experiencing "increased demand".
UK banks have been plagued by IT problems in the last couple of years. In the summer around 275,000 HSBC bank payments were held up by a computer glitch.
Royal Bank of Scotland has also had a string of problems. In June, 600,000 payments failed to reach the accounts of its customers.
Meanwhile, Barclays suffered a technical glitch in October which meant some customers were unable to withdraw cash.


text: ok, I had all my contacts saved as PHONE, so I thought it would be a good idea to switch them all to GOOGLE so I could add them to my gmail. SO...I exported to SD card, saved them as PHONE bc they were all PHONE contacts. Then, I deleted ALL my contacts, although the fbook ones stayed but those are fine. Then, I went to import contacts from my card, imported them as GOOGLE, which worked. I did it and everything worked fine. But today I got a notification telling me too many contacts had been deleted and it gave me 3 options, delete all contacts like I originally wanted to, undo the delete, or do nothing, but the notification was bothering me so I chose delete all contacts, and it didn't do anything, then I tried undo, well now I have 3 of every contact in my people app. Also, when everything was fine, I tried saving a new contact and it was like 50/50 if it would work or not, I'm hoping to get this fixed tmrw so I don't have to scroll thru 800 contacts to find the right 1.

Charles Wereko-Brobbey says the consistent load shedding by the ECG is a 'complete nonsense'.
Charles Wereko-Brobbey, former Chief Executive Officer of the Volta River Authority (VRA) has described the erratic power supply as complete nonsense.
At a public forum organized by Joy FM on the power crisis, he said he prevented the power crisis when the dam was at its lowest level.
The former VRA boss said the dumsor started with six hours, moved to 12 hours and its now 24 hours. It can't be any worse he hinted but said "I prevented dumsor when the dam was at its lowest level and then I got sacked."
Wereko Brobbey popularly known as Tarzan, alleged the power rationing exercise favours "the middle class" who have been excluded while the poor continues to suffer.
"It's working to the benefit of the middle class," he added.

I saw a question on another website asking how the reader feels in their space. I replied "I don't remember. I need to re-claim mine." That got me thinking that I can not remember a time in my life when I was ever neat and organized. I hear stories of people who have a life event trigger clutter and disorganization, but I have not heard about people who admit to never remember having the skill in the first place.

I was the kid with the messy room, with my mom yelling at me to clean it up. I still have a cluttered, disorganized home. I try now to be a little better- the mess bothers me more than it used to. And I am trying to teach my kids to put stuff away when they are done instead of waiting until there is a huge mess- but that is something I have yet to master.

Ah hah never in my life have I personally maintained an organised and tidy area. When I had to work in a clean and tidy office environment, it felt almost emotionless.
A cluttered comfortable set-up works really well for some people. I feel most at home and calm in my own little cluttered space.
Others find it unbearable and irritating but I find it supportive in a way. My space. My stuff. My work. My world.

I currently live in a huge mess. My appartment is undergoing repair after repetitive flooding. Except that the repairs are not happening, The clutter built itself up to a point where I have to look out where i put my feet while carrying my baby 'cos I could trip over anything and fall on my face with her. I got into a huge depression (as big as the mess is) over our place. I was not the kind of girl that was always tidying big time all the time, but I did have some limited organized chaos going on that would get tidy every once in a while.
As a kid, I was messy according to my mom. One time, she had asked me to tidy my toys and I didn't. She put all them in a trash bag and threw them away. She was and still is a very tidy and clean woman, she would not have put up with mess. As it happens, my brother who was a very tidy kid turned into a messier adult while I did the reverse !
On the other hand, my husband has always had some horrible mess going on (I think I could call his mess hoarding to some extent). And though he claims that the mess we're living in is affecting him, he never does anything about it. He actually makes it worse by not putting his empty bottles in the recycling or throwing his trash away or even puting his socks in his laundry bag. And From what I have gathered from his parents, he's always been like that.
I think everyone has the potential for change for better or worse :)

However, these softwares usually read "RegisteredOwner" and "RegisteredOrganization" from the registry of windows system as their default user name and organization.
Now You may wonder where these two values come from. In fact, they were stored in registry when you installed you windows operation system and input your user name at the first time. After that, whether you edit your user name or add a new user, these two values will not be under the influence.
However, you can modify them though EDIT YOUR REGISTRY as follows:

Smoak working on fielding poor throws
Smoak working on fielding poor throws
ARLINGTON -- Justin Smoak worked on fielding low throws during batting practice Thursday and also had a brief discussion with manager Ron Washington about the topic.
Smoak has struggled scooping throws in the dirt. He failed to come up with a low throw by third baseman Michael Young in Wednesday's 4-1 loss at Oakland.
Smoak said Washington told him to work on making sure his glove "is more open" when fielding throws. Smoak has the difficult task of following Chris Davis at first base. Davis has a knack for coming up with throws in the dirt.
"I feel great out there," Smoak said. "I'm working on some things. I've just got to catch the ball."
