The buzz centers on New Jersey's Chris Christie for now, but Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is using a national book tour to try to climb into the 2016 conversation. A small but potentially potent group of GOP insiders say he's a can-do governor with...

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
As moonkin I can say that I love the changes to the class and love the idea of depending on a player's abilities to prevail rather than just the class's abilities. I hope to do much more instances becasue of this. OTOH, I think the travel and cat form dances are way underrated. While others jump,stomp flip and spin around like their central nervous system is in distress, the cool cats just bob their heads and snap their claws.

The 6th Annual Chinese Moon Festival Concert is coming!
Saturda, September 20, 2014. 7:00pm. Samuelson Chapel.
Paraguayan film kicks off free festival
Cal Lutheran to show award-winning '7 Boxes'
(THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Sept. 12, 2014) California Lutheran University will open the second season of its International Film Series with a free screening of the Spanish film "7 Boxes" on Wednesday, Oct. 1.
The 2012 film from Paraguay will be shown in Spanish and Guarani with subtitles at 7 p.m. at Carmike Thousand Oaks 14.
The PG-13 movie starts on a hot Friday in the labyrinthine markets of Asunción, where a 17-year-old pushcart porter named Victor is promised $100 to transport boxes with unknown contents. He begins his journey accompanied by a hyperactive young woman named Liz and both become involved in a crime without knowing the cause, the victim or the perpetrator.
Directors Juan Carlos Maneglia and Tana Schémbori received the Best Director Award at the Cartagena International Film Festival for "7 Boxes." The well-reviewed movie also received the Nueva Vision Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, the Audience Award at the Miami Film Festival and Best Dramatic Film 2012 at the Cockatoo Island Film Festival. Filmmakers since the 1980s, the duo began their successful collaboration in 1990 with a TV miniseries and continued with short films, telefilms and TV series. "7 Boxes" is their first feature film.
This was the first feature film appearance for young Paraguayan actors Celso Franco as Victor and Lali Gonzalez as Liz. Both have since appeared in two more movies.
The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Carmike Thousand Oaks 14 is located at 166 W. Hillcrest Drive.
The festival sponsored by the Department of Languages and Cultures will continue with the Italian film "Caesar Must Die" on Nov. 12.

Core Ensemble:"Tres vidas", a chamber music theatre work conceived and performed by
THE CORE ENSEMBLE (cello, piano & percussion)
Samuelson Chapel on Friday, October 10, 2014 at 7:00 pm
The Core Ensemble will perform the chamber music theatre work "Tres Vidas" in the Samuelson Chapel at California Lutheran University. Chamber Music Theatre is a unique performance format developed by the Core Ensemble featuring a marriage of theatrical narrative and chamber music performance.
Actress Denise Estrada portrays multiple characters while interacting with the onstage musical trio of cello (Ju Young Lee) piano (David Berry) and percussion (Michael Parola). "Tres Vidas" celebrates the lives, times and work of three significant Latin American Women: painter Frida Kahlo of Mexico, peasant activist Rufina Amaya of El Salvador and poet Alfonsina Storni of Argentina.
With storylines including Frida Kahlo's dramatic and passionate relationship with painter Diego Rivera, Rufina Amaya's astounding singular survival of the massacre at El Mozote and Alfonsina Storni's lifelong challenges as Argentina's first great feminist poet, "Tres Vidas" presents dramatic situations timeless in their emotional appeal and connection to audiences across all gender and ethnic spectrums. With a script written by Chilean poet/writer Marjorie Agosin, it offers powerful portrayals of each woman and includes the singing of traditional Mexican folk songs as well as Argentinean popular and tango songs made famous by Mercedes Sosa and Carlos Gardel. Works by Astor Piazzolla, Orlando Garcia, Pablo Ortiz, Alice Gomez, Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez, Michael DeMurga and Osvaldo Golijov round out the musical score.
This event is free and open to the public. No tickets or reservations are needed.

October 9th at Muvico "Chinese Take-Away" (Spanish)
In Buenos Aires, the bitter and methodic Roberto is a lonely man and the owner of a hardware store. Roberto collects bizarre worldwide news in an album as a hobby and his acquaintance Mari has an unrequited love for him, but Roberto is always evasive. One day, Roberto sees a Chinese named Jun being expelled from a taxi while he is watching the landing of airplanes in the airport and he helps the man to stand up. Jun does not speak Spanish and shows a tattoo with an address on his arm. Roberto heads to the spot with Jun and discover that the place belonged to Jun's uncle that sold it three and half years ago. Roberto goes with Jun to the police station, to the China's embassy and to a Chinese neighborhood to seek out his uncle but it is a fruitless search. Roberto lodges Jun in his house and after a series of incidents, he finds a delivery boy to translate Jun and he learns the dramatic story of his life.
November 13th on campus in the Lundring Events Center "Mid-August Lunch" (Italian)
Gianni is a middle-aged man living in Rome with his imposing and demanding elderly mother. His only outlet from her and the increasing debt into which they are sinking, are the increasingly frequent quiet sessions at the local tavern. As an Oriental saying goes, 'Moments of crisis are moments of opportunities'. These appear during the celebration of the holiday of Ferragosto on 15 August. That's when everybody leaves town to have fun. Opportunity knocks on Gianni's door in the most unexpected way.
February 5th at Muvico "Red Cliff" (Chinese)
In 208 A.D., in the final days of the Han Dynasty, shrewd Prime Minster Cao Cao convinced the fickle Emperor Han the only way to unite all of China was to declare war on the kingdoms of Xu in the west and East Wu in the south. Thus began a military campaign of unprecedented scale, led by the Prime Minister, himself. Left with no other hope for survival, the kingdoms of Xu and East Wu formed an unlikely alliance. Numerous battles of strength and wit ensued, both on land and on water, eventually culminating in the battle of Red Cliff. During the battle, two thousand ships were burned, and the course of Chinese history was changed forever.
March 5th on campus in the Lundring Events Center "The Experiment" (German)
The movie is based on the infamous "Stanford Prison Experiment" conducted in 1971. A makeshift prison is set up in a research lab, complete with cells, bars and surveillance cameras. For two weeks 20 male participants are hired to play prisoners and guards. The 'prisoners' are locked up and have to follow seemingly mild rules, and the 'guards' are told simply to retain order without using physical violence. Everybody is free to quit at any time, thereby forfeiting payment. In the beginning the mood between both groups is insecure and rather emphatic. But soon quarrels arise and the wardens employ ever more drastic sanctions to confirm their authority.
April 30th at Muvico "Chicken with Plums" (French)
Teheran, 1958. Since his beloved violin was broken, Nasser Ali Khan, one of the most renowned musicians of his day, has lost all taste for life. Finding no instrument worthy of replacing it, he decides to confine himself to bed to await death. As he hopes for its arrival, he plunges into deep reveries, with dreams as melancholic as they are joyous, taking him back to his youth and even to a conversation with Azraël, the Angel of Death, who reveals the future of his children. As pieces of the puzzle gradually fit together, the poignant secret of his life comes to light: a wonderful story of love, which inspired his genius and his music.
For additional information, please see our department website at:
LIVE MUSICAL! Los Valientes (The Courageous Ones)
Sat, Oct 5, 2013 at 7:00 pm. Samuelson Chapel
Based on the lives of three heroic Latinos, Los Valientes (The Courageous Ones) is a live musical theater production featuring a singer and an onstage trio of cello, piano and percussion. The show celebrates Mexican painter Diego Rivera, martyred Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero, and Mexican-American outlaw Joaquin Murrieta, a historical figure who, some say, inspired the character of Zorro. The music ranges from traditional Latino folk and popular songs in Spanish to instrumental works by Latin American composers.
This event is free and open to the public. For the Samuelson Chapel location as well as public parking, see the CLU campus map.

Visit a BBC exhibition
Here are just a few places around the UK where you can see more of the BBC Collection.
National collections:
The Exponential Horn
BBC History has collaborated with the Science Museum on its wonderful Exponential Horn display and events programme.
Listen to archive and current BBC sounds via the biggest loudspeaker horn in the UK, from 20 May to 27 July 2014.
Science Museum (London)
The Voice of the BBC looks back to the BBC's first broadcast on 14 November 1922: a moment when radio listening changed from a specialist hobby to a national pastime. At its heart is part of the BBC's first transmitter, the iconic '2LO' transmitter. Before each show the presenter would announce, 'This is 2LO, London calling!'
Though this transmitter was replaced in 1925 it continues to symbolise the excitement and creativity of the early days of broadcasting. (Nov 2012-May 2013)
National Media Museum
The National Media Museum also celebrates the 90th anniversary of BBC with a display of seminal radio artefacts, including one of the original Big Ben microphones used to capture the sounds of the bell in 1924; a 'Lip microphone' dating from 1937, specially designed by the BBC to block background noise from sports commentary in the 1930s; and a famous 'biscuit tin' radio, dropped by parachute over occupied Europe during World War II. This display is a small part of almost 1,000 unique and rare objects, which have been donated by the BBC to the Museum so they can be curated and exhibited for the nation.
Museum of Childhood (London)
Don't miss the latest exhibition here, exploring Modern British Childhood from 1948 to 2012 (the period between the two London Olympic Games). Featuring seminal objects – including a BBC Blue Peter badge and some of the Teletubbie puppets, along with NHS prescription glasses, an 11+ exam paper and a chopper bike, to name but three! – this insightful exhibition dramatises the huge changes that have occurred in children's lives during this period (Oct 2012-Apr2013).
Other collections:
Droitwich Heritage Centre
In 1934, a new transmitting station was created at Wychold, Droitwich Spa. Radiating the National Programme (as it was then called) on long wave, the transmitter was the tallest and most powerful of its time in the UK.

WASHINGTON (Legal Newsline) – It seems U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley's past remarks warning that a "farmer" could be the next chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee reached the ears of Texas trial lawyers.
Seeking financial backing for his U.S. Senate bid, Braley, D-Iowa, told a group of trial lawyers at a Corpus Christi fundraiser in January he's "someone who's been fighting tort reform for 30 years" and needs their "help" to stop Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley – an Iowa farmer prior to launching his extensive career in Congress – from becoming the next chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
In the months of January and February, Texas trial lawyers donated more than $24,000 to Braley's Senate campaign — an amount that includes a $1,000 donation made by plaintiffs attorney Brent Coon of Brent Coon & Associates in Beaumont on Feb. 20, according to the Federal Elections Commission.
For the month of March, he received $45,100 from Texas attorneys.
In the first quarter, Braley raised $1.25 million in campaign contributions, bringing his total to $5.4 million earned so far in the 2013-2014 election cycle, according to the FEC.
The congressman has spent $2.3 million in campaign contributions, leaving him with more than $3.1 million cash on hand going into the second quarter.
Four out of five of Braley's top contributors are major law firms, accounting for more than $105,000 in donations, according to opensecrets.org.
The Dallas law firm Waters & Kraus and its attorneys account for $19,350 in donations.
Weitz & Luxenberg, a New York City law firm specializing in asbestos litigation, has made $39,675 in donations to Braley's campaign.
The bulk of Braley's contributions, 78 percent, have come from individual donors for a total amount of $4,295,859, according to opensecrets.org.
Almost 23,000 individuals have donated to Braley's campaign, with ActBlue, a PAC supporting Democratic congressional candidates, supplying 2,726 of those donations, according to reports filed with the FEC.
Some of the larger donations from notable individual Texas trial lawyers include:
-A $2,600 donation from the "Texas Hammer" Jim Adler;
-A $2,600 donation from "Super Lawyer" Ken Bailey, Jr. of Bailey Perrin Bailey in Houston; and
-A $5,200 donation from Steven Kherkher, a managing partner at the asbestos law firm Williams Kherkher.
Braley, a plaintiffs lawyer by trade and former head of the Iowa Trial Lawyers Association, is the only Democrat running for Iowa's open U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Sen. Tom Harkin.
Before being elected to Congress in 2007, Braley "worked as an attorney for 23 years, holding corporations accountable to their employees and consumers," according to the congressman's online bio.
The Republican primary for the seat will be held June 3.

San Francisco Farmer's Market Report: Ferry Plaza
We went to the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market on Saturday and summer is in full swing here in San Francisco. Berries, stone fruits, and tomatoes have arrived!
The Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market is held on Tuesdays from 10 AM - 2 PM and Saturdays from 8 AM - 2 PM. It's at a great location right on the edge of the San Francisco Bay and accessible to public transportation.
There's a large number of vendors there selling everything from produce to flowers, prepared foods to bread, fish, meat, soup bones, poultry, and cheeses. It tends to be a little on the expensive side, but even if you don't buy anything, the eye candy is wonderful, and we always have fun browsing - we often find interesting food items that we've never heard of before.
Before doing our browsing and picture-taking, we had a nice breakfast of lavender hot tea and a breakfast pizza made with ricotta, fresh cherries, and sage from one of the market vendors.
We hope you enjoy these wonderful photos.
Peaches, plums, apricots, blueberries, raspberries, tomatoes, peppers, avocados.
Strawberries, potatoes, asparagus, beets, cherries, salad greens, herbs, almonds, rhubarb, local feta cheese.
Lamb, citrus, apples.

Oh. My. God.
Better than pr0n.
It's not as big, but the Tuesday one is cheaper. I know at least a few of the vendors raise their prices on Saturday to get the tourist market.
They also have a Thursday evening market starting in May. Not sure when it runs to, though.
I have to remember next week to buy a half-flat of strawberries and some lavender for jam.
Hi, its funny, Just today I purchased the cook book written as a result of the produce available at this Ferry Building Market. The pictures are very enticing and no food lover in the San Fran bay area should be disappointed with such an abundance. Happy cooking to all you in the Bay area.
I used to spend all of my cash when I visited the Ferry Building Farmers Market. Now I limit my cash and spending to $25 per visit. It makes each purchase all the more studied. I also don't have to worry about having too much to carry home.

Nothing says ringing in the New Year like erratic gunfire and bullets dropping to Earth at terminal velocity.
How did we get to the top and, for some, near the top of the food chain? It is strange — no, bizarre — how people think.
I actually thought my Uncle Dewey was a man of the world and had a solid take on things. He graduated second in his class at The Frederick DUI School (where, oddly enough, the graduation party was held at the bar across the street) and he held a certificate of small-engine repair from Broadwell's Garage in Tate, GA. Yet, he could not understand all the hub-bub about Sandy Springs Police Sgt. Dan Nable and the stray bullet that hit his car New Year's Eve.
"It's just good ol' fun," he said, reflectively, as he took a puff of his Pall Mall cigarette and then looked up toward the sky as if to give off some air of sophistication. "We did it every year up at the ranch and no one got hurt. My whole hunting club was up there and,

Friday is the funeral for Georgia State Trooper First Class Chadwick LeCroy. He was killed Dec. 27 when Gregory Favors allegedly shot three times, hitting Trooper LeCroy once. He died on the way to Grady Hospital.
You all have seen this scenario played out before. Favors is a career criminal, in and out of jail for years. He was arrested Dec. 11 and charged with breaking into a car, drugs and several counts of obstructing a law enforcement officer.
And he was allowed to sign his own bond? Seriously?
I have no idea what this guy will put up as a defense. Did he not get a hug when he was younger? Or maybe someone bullied him in the fourth grade? Poor kid, life is so rough. I'm sure he has a lot of "poor me" crap he'll present during his trial.
He had his chance and found it easier to victimize other people than to live his life with the simple dignity of contributing to society. Now, if convicted, he'll finally graduate as a murderer. Unfortunately, Trooper LeCroy

Folks, it's time for my annual fruitcake blog, which has become a holiday tradition.
As the Christmas holidays close in on us, we carry on the age-old traditions of our relatives. Among those traditions are scaring the hell out of the small kids with second-rate Santa outfits that make Uncle Gene look more like Nunda the Ax Murderer than St. Nick.
The money we spend on this holiday is obscene. Every year I vow to stop the madness, set an example, and refuse to accept anything materialistic—until I see the cool stuff I want.
I like to listen to Christmas music during the holiday season. Where else can you get Burl Ives, Kenny G., Michael Bolton, and Bing Crosby in the same set? Weird? Maybe— but its Christmas! Nothing has to make sense until the credit-card bill arrives in January.
No Christmas holiday season is complete without the annual "A Christmas Story" marathon and fruitcake. Nothing says Christmas like watching Santa push Ralphie down the slide and eating
Hey, it's Christmastime. Let's forget our differences and take to heart the spirit this time of year is meant for us to feel. And while you're at it — get the heck outta my parking spot, you &$(%#!!!!
That's right, kids, we're in holiday mode and it's everyone for themselves. And don't let those little old ladies fool you! They're animals.
Get in your car now because traffic won't get any better. To make it worse, it's getting darker earlier, meaning rush hour is illuminated by all those thousand headlights making it seem there are millions of taillights between you and the dreaded mall.
I hate the mall. Maybe twice a year I'll visit the mall around lunchtime just to break up the excitement of doing all the other lunchtime stuff that gets boring. Of course, after 30 minutes I realize I still hate the mall and I leave — smelling noticeably fabulous.
Quit spraying that stuff on us when we pass down the cologne aisle!

Okay, well I might have been a little frivolous in my "throw- caution-to-the-wind" approach to Thanksgiving dinner. Truthfully, I almost died.
It looked so good on my third helping and who can turn down another round of oyster dressing because you know, oysters are said to be aphrodisiacs but, well, I guess I didn't think it through because after eating, the only thing I was interested in doing was trying not to die. I was sitting on the couch, bloated like three-day old road kill. Somehow we survived it as I hope you did.
Back to business.
It has already started. Christmas rip-offs and scams are all over the place and despite warnings and all the good information out there on avoiding them, people still seem to walk right into trouble as if they just got off the bus from Sesame Street.
Wake up!
Fraud can be avoided.
Here are some things we call "clues" in police work.
Watch out if:
We are on the threshold of another Thanksgiving holiday. Once again it's diet-be-damned as we dive into the depths of too much food and the various ways we rationalize it before, during and after the feast.
The most common is the "Starting Tomorrow" speech as one piles the dressing on top of the mashed potatoes that are piled on the other kind of dressing that rests on the 16 slices of turkey.
"Tomorrow I'll be getting back to my diet of six calories a day, along with 16 hours of non-stop exercise."
We're never actually starting the diet and rigorous exercise program after Thanksgiving but rather continuing the workout that would easily train us for any upcoming decathlon. Everyone nods in false agreement that makes the person feel better.
"I'll just eat small portions."
This one is followed by six trips of small portions — the last two trips hopefully unseen.
Another favorite is the person who proclaims a pre-Thanksgiving fasting ritual: "I haven't
Continue reading Off-duty at Thanksgiving: Guilt just gets in way of the gravy »
Yep, it's that time of year again. I'll bet you can name a bunch of ways to stay safe through the holidays without being told anything. You should be able to. The cops and everyone else say the same thing every year:
• Don't leave your GPS, laptop, wallet, M-16, Rolex, pan flute or other valuables in the car while you're inside shopping.
• Don't leave your house unlocked with no alarm and the porch lights on all day and the mail stacked up and a sign that says "Out of Town" on the front door.
• Don't leave your purse in the child-seat of the shopping cart, open with your wallet sitting there, begging to be stolen.
• Don't leave your car on while you walk inside the convenient store to buy something.
• Don't send your name, date of birth and Social Security number, along with your bank account number, to that guy, the only living relative of the super-rich and recently deceased oil baron in the Great Providence of Neusabee because he happened to
A man answers an ad on Craigslist. The ad says they will hunt a car loan for him. All he needs to do is send $500, his name, date of birth, Social Security number and even his birth certificate to a guy known only as Dennis.
The victim did just that. The man later reports to the police that he never heard back from Dennis.
How many of you would do this?
This isn't an error in judgment. It's just stupid. We get dozens of similar reports each week.
You're selling a $500 lawn mower on Craigslist or the online paper. You're contacted by a man who said he wants to purchase the mower. He'll send you $1,500. Deposit it and then send a money order for the balance of $1,000 to an address in another city for "shipping."
You deposit the money order or check, then you send a money order as requested to the address. A couple of days later your bank said the money order you received was no good.
Yours was and it's now gone to a P.O. box to be collected by the crook.
Now this

Life is short isn't it?
I heard a song the other day that said: "Life is a game you can't win so enjoy the ride." I'm sure that there are about a hundred variations of that in song or poems or drunken reflections, but it's all true.
I figure I've delivered a couple of dozen death messages in my career—mostly in the early days when I worked the road.
The first time was unbelievably hard. All I can remember is taking advice from "The Godfather" movie, choosing to deliver the bad news quickly. It was something that I always remembered. They know you're there for bad news because it's all over your face. There is no sense asking them to sit or otherwise prolong what you need to say. It's once you say it that you need to take time with them.
People react differently. Some get angry, some just don't believe a word of it and some just stare at you.
I worked a traffic fatality one night. I drove to the woman's apartment and spoke with her fiancé. I sat
Halloween is again upon us.
It's the time of year when little kids dress up like princesses and pirates while the older kids dress up in more theme-oriented costumes as Lindsay Lohan or Quagmire from "Family Guy." (Whatever floats the boat, right?)
Every year we look at Halloween safety, and every year dole out the same advice: be a parent.
I get comments every year saying we shouldn't give out the same advice each and every year, that they know all the safety tips for kids. They want something new — like there's some new strain of Halloween risks out there we should be aware of.
The reason we repeat what you probably already know is because there are a lot of parents out there who don't do the basics and send the kids out there without a clue of what those basics are. That's why God gave us Family and Children Services.
Believe it or not, some kids get sent out by parents who toss them a bag and say, "See you at 10." My hope is that I'll hit the basics

Japan enhances efforts to cool nuclear reactor
Tokyo: A Tokyo fire department truck was to shower tonnes of water upon an overheating nuclear reactor for four more hours on Saturday in north-eastern Japan in hopes of averting a potential meltdown.That would extend the operation to 11 hours for Saturday, public broadcaster NHK said.
The truck had originally been scheduled to spend seven hours spraying 3 tonnes of water per minute - a total of 1,260 tonnes - upon the fuel storage pool on reactor number 3 at the nuclear power plant in Fukushima, which was damaged by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
The operation has been "successful to some extent", Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said, but added that the situation was unpredictable.
Edano said reactor number 4, another part of the six-nuclear-reactor facility was to also be doused Saturday.
Temperatures and pressure have risen at the reactors since their cooling systems failed after the coastal plant was swamped by the tsunami, leading to fears of reactor meltdowns at the plant. Hydrogen explosions, fires and releases of radiation have occurred, and core damage has been confirmed at three of the reactors.
High levels of radiation were detected in milk in Fukushima and spinach in neighbouring Ibaraki prefecture, Edano said Saturday. The government was considering regulating farm products in areas near the nuclear power plant.

Witness testifies 'refugee' from Manchester played a role in mass killings in Rwandan homeland
"Beatrice would ask people passing by for their IDs. People who were ethnic Hutus would be allowed to continue. And people who were ethnic Tutsis would be gathered on one side and they would lead them behind the hotel where they were going to kill them," Consolee Mukeshimana testified on the fifth day of Beatrice Munyenyezi's retrial on immigration fraud charges.
Women and girls were separated from the men and taken by the extremist Hutu militia members, known as the Interahamwe, to a nearby building where "you could hear their screaming," Mukeshimana told the 10 men and six female jurors in U.S. District Court.
"She (Munyenyezi) was there because, in order for them (Tutsis) to be killed, she had to ask them for their IDs and then led them to the Interahamwe," Mukeshimana, a Tutsi who testified through a Rwandan interpreter as Munyenyezi listened from the defense table.
During her two hours at the roadblock, Mukeshimana said she witnessed three Tutsi men get clubbed to death for resisting arrest. She said she managed to escape with the help of her brother in law - a Hutu related to the family of Munyenyezi's husband.
"He told the Interahamwe that he was going to kill me. He had a club. And he led me down the small path...We walked behind the (school) and there was a mass grave where they were throwing people," Mukeshimana continued.
At a turn in the path, she said her brother-in-law instead took her back to his home where she stayed with her sister.
Dressed in a brightly-colored African head scarf and dress, Mukeshimana is among some 11 new Rwandan witnesses the government brought here to testify at Munyenyezi's second trial.
Munyenyezi's first trial ended in a mistrial last March after jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict on two counts of fraudulently procuring citizenship.
The government accused Munyenyezi of presiding over murders, rapes and kidnappings in her Rwandan homeland, then lying about her role in the mass killings of mostly ethnic Tutsis on her refugee application in 1995 and when she applied for U.S. citizenship in 2002.
Munyenyezi became a U.S. citizen in 2003 and was living in Manchester with her three daughters when she was arrested in 2010.
Defense attorneys Mark E. Howard and David W. Ruoff of Manchester claimed Munyenyezi, who was pregnant with twins in 1994, stayed at the hotel to be safe and care for her eldest daughter. They maintained she never participated in the mass killings nor had any involvement in the ruling political party.
An estimated 800,000 people were killed during the three-month period known as the Rwandan genocide that began in April 1994.
Mukeshimana testified Munyenyezi, Munyenyezi's husband, Shalom Ntahobali, and his mother, Pauline Nyiramasuhuko, worked the roadblock along with many heavily armed Interahamwe.
Munyenyezi and Nyiramasuhuko wore the military uniforms of the ruling Hutu party as they checked IDs of those passing through the roadblock, she said.
Ntahobali and Nyiramasuhuko were convicted in 2011 by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda of genocide and human rights violations. Both are serving life prison terms and are appealing their convictions.
Under cross-examination by Howard, Mukeshimana admitted that, even though she had been interviewed for a book about the genocide in 1995, she never mentioned Munyenyezi's role at the roadblock until American investigators approached her last year.
"You speak about what you are asked about," Mukeshimana replied.
"I did tell them (book's author) a long story, but it's never ending because there is a lot to talk about," she responded.
Howard sought to undermine Mukeshimana's credibility and recollections of events by attempting to draw inconsistencies between her prior statements and testimony.
Mukeshimana was one of four witnesses to testify Wednesday and one of five Rwandans to take the stand since the trial opened for testimony Feb. 6. The trial is expected to continue through the end of next week.

6 comments
This art form is particularly important to those of us with medium skin tones. We know bright, berry colors work well for those with deeper tones, and light pinks jive best with fair skin. But, what about those who fall in the middle of the skin-tone spectrum? And, once you've found your perfect, complementary shade, how do you go about applying it?
To answer these burning questions, we called in makeup pro James Vincent. And, after viewing the results, all we can say is: Medium-skinned ladies, meet your new best friend.

Of Cabbages And Kings (1967)
Andy Shernoff of the Dictators once wrote a song called "Who Will Save Rock and Roll?," which featured the memorable verse "June first, '67/Something died and went to heaven/I wish Sgt. Pepper never taught the band to play." Maybe Shernoff was going a bit far to make a point, but the unfortunate truth is that once the Beatles released their magnum opus, it would be many years before an album that was simply a collection of great songs would seem to be enough in the eyes of the rock cognoscenti. Seemingly every act of any significance during the late '60s made a high-gloss concept album, and Chad & Jeremy were no exception; while they had a sure knack for smart and subtle folk-influenced pop with outstanding harmonies, the times demanded more of them, and in 1967 they released their response to the Sgt. Pepper's phenomenon, Of Cabbages and Kings. Taking its title from Lewis Carroll (whose Through the Looking Glass is quoted at the outset) and credited to Chad Stuart & Jeremy Clyde, Of Cabbages and Kings opens with six lushly orchestrated, self-consciously arty pop tunes, beginning with "Rest in Peace," a smart but cheeky number in which a man who carves gravestones tells listeners just how he feels about his customers. Side one also gingerly flirts with controversy with "Family Way" (about an unwed girl who finds she's pregnant), and allows Chad & Jeremy to ponder the sorrows of a musician's life in "Busman's Holiday." If the songs are often too wordy for their own good, they confirm that Stuart and Clyde were gifted songwriters who could work outside the standard pop framework of the day, and Stuart (who orchestrated the album) was a talented and imaginative arranger who gives the material a sound that's both rich and intimate. It's side two where things go seriously awry; "The Progress Suite" is a wildly pretentious five-part tone poem cluttered with sound effects and voice-overs that charts the rise and fall of the modern age (or something like that), and while they manage to inject a certain amount of whimsy into the proceedings, at close to 27 minutes it goes on far too long and raises the eternal question "Sure it's art, but is there another reason why I should care?" The trouble with the second half of Of Cabbages and Kings is that it clearly confirms Chad & Jeremy had the talent and the ability to create something more ambitious than "A Summer Song" or "Yesterday's Gone," but no one had the sense to rein them in once the album began to teeter on the edge of collapse. Ultimately, it's the simpler but still adventurous first side of this album that succeeds, while "The Progress Suite" sounds like the score to a movie that wisely never got made; shut this off at the halfway point and you might think it's a masterpiece. - The All Music Guide Thanks to Grateful for the re-up.

Epilogue14 Reviews
It's over, it's done, it's not going to be updated. FINALLY!!!!!!!! This is the epilogue.
A/N- YES!! The last chapter of this story. Oh yeah. I'm happy. My next story...man, you guys are going to like. (Hopefully.) It's going to be damn good. ANYway, look for it tomorrow or Friday. And remember, I have never edited or prewritten ANY of my stories. Not even this one. As I type, I am writing. Just so you know. Well, here's the epilogue of "The Aftermath". Finally. sighs in relief**
Gerard's funeral was on a Sunday morning. It was drizzling and the sky was dark. There was not one person in the entire cemetery not sobbing.
No one, besides me.
All I kept thinking was that it was too early. Gerard was still asleep; he'd never be able to wake up this early to make it. He'd be late.
But then, I'd remember that Gerard was already here. He was in that sleek black box, covered in roses and farewells. He was in that box slowly being lowered into the ground. He was in that box, and never coming out again.
Then, I got angry.
I was angry at Gerard for leaving the hospital and essentially committing suicide.
I was angry at Mikey, not only for breaking my arm and leaving me hospitalized, but for acting as if he was the only one who lost someone important. I don't care that they were brothers. Mikey wasn't the only one who lost Gerard. I lost him too.
I was angry at Donna and Donald Way for not coming to Gerard's funeral. Who the hell doesn't go to their own son's funeral? Especially when there are thousands of fans who never actually met the man surrounding the cemetery.
I was angry at Bob for breaking down and crying when I needed a shoulder to cry on.
I was angry at Ray for comforting Bob and not me.
I was angry at the thousands of fans crying for Gerard. They didn't know him, how can they cry? Why were they defiling this sacred ceremony with their idiotic hero worship?
I was angry at the priest for trying to make everyone cry. Gerard wants us happy. Why was he speaking in a monotone and telling us of all the bad times in his life. It should be happy. I kept telling myself that. It should be happy.
I was angry at the guests for pretending to care so much for my boyfriend. Gerard is mine. And now, he's dead.
But most of all, I was angry at Criss Manson for killing my baby.
No, not angry. Furious. Not even that. Words could not describe the emotions coursing through me.
I actually wanted to take someone's life, for the first time in my life. Not fake, "Urgh, I'm gonna kill him for that!" No.
This was revenge.
Gerard always loved the concept of revenge. He would love to know that I am going to avenge his death.
I didn't even notice that the crowds had started to disperse. I just noticed that the grave digger was starting to shovel the dirt back into the whole that now held a man who didn't deserve to die.
That's when I heard a loud scream.
I spun around, my eyes wide.
Mikey was pointing a shaking hand to the left of me, tears pouring down his cheeks.
Slowly, I followed Mikey's gaze and my breath caught in my throat.
Criss Manson.
The man I wanted to kill so badly was about to /kill me/.
I sucked in a deep breath and he smiled.
He smiled and cocked the gun in his hand.
He smiled, cocked the gun in his hand, and /pulled the trigger/.
Mikey let out a loud scream as the bullet crashed into my chest. From my chest a strange, freezing cold sensation flowed throughout my body, and the ground came up to meet me.
As my world went black, I heard three more gun-shots.
I guess I'll soon find out whether or not Bob, Mikey, and Ray will be joining me. I hope not. I don't want them dead.
A/N- Wow, that sucked. I'm really not happy with that. I just wanted it to be done, I'm sorry. This muse for my epic is killing me. As you can probably tell, I'm pretty excited. So, yeah. REVIEW!! And I hope you enjoyed "The Aftermath". I didn't. laughs manically stops, looks around, and sighs I'm such a loser...

The Portland Trail Blazers and Kia rolled into Valor Middle School on the Statewide Summer Tour Tuesday morning with an all star make it better team. The coaching staff, consisting of Trail Blazers Alum and Radio Analyst Antonio Harvey, Trail Blazers Strength and Fitness Coach Bob Medina, Trail Blazers Arena Emcee (and Summer Tour basketball clinic head honcho) Todd Bosma, and a crew of Trail Blazers employee volunteers, was greeted by an eager group of 125 eager young hoopers. With a big assist from Coach Medina, the kids were led through dribbling and shooting drills as well and strength, endurance and agility exercises. The two hour clinic provided a great opportunity to show the budding athletes just how fun fitness can be. If the kids of Woodburn had half as much fun as the coaches did, the day was most definitely a success.

PHILADELPHIA, PA - NOVEMBER 07: Quarterback Jay Cutler #6 of the Chicago Bears celebrates after throwing a touchdown pass to Earl Bennett #80 (not picttured) during the fourth quarter of the game at Lincoln Financial Field on November 7, 2011 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Nick Laham/Getty Images)
The biggest problem for Jay Cutler since joining the Bears has been the inability to stay upright. He led the league in sacks in 2010, and has been sacked 21 times this season. The good news is that against the Eagles, the Bears offensive line kept Cutler from getting sacked. The last time that happened was in a Nov. 12, 2009 loss to San Francisco. That's just short of two years.
Since the last time Jay Cutler went sack-free:

Let's be honest here, looking for a job can be brutal.
It's hard, it can take forever, and you don't get paid. If you think about it, finding a job really is a full-time job. (Of course, without all the benefits of a job, such as money, self-respect, and minimal motherly nagging.)
Before landing myself a sweet job at TalentEgg, (woot!) I spent a solid couple of months looking.
I know how it feels to sign on to Monster only to find that the majority of jobs in the one to two year experience level are crap (and I mean crap). They are the type of jobs where all you can think is "Why did I even bother going to university? I could get a job at a bar and make more money, and probably learn more too." It's discouraging to say the least.
Here's what the older generations say:
You have to put your time in, and everyone does jobs that they don't like…blah blah blah.
I know, I get it. I've done plenty of jobs I didn't like. But before anyone gets on their high horse to lecture me, may I remind everyone that it was those generations that raised us to believe that we could do anything we want and to never settle for less.
Now that I've said that, lecture on.
Well, I'm not settling. I want a job that is challenging, that I can respect myself for doing, that I see as worthy (yeah, I said worthy) of the amount of time and effort that I put into getting my university degree. And it's not about the money, it's about finding something to build on that will help me develop as a person. That's what's important. The money comes later.
So, yeah, looking for a job can suck. But you know what's worse? Settling for something that you don't respect yourself for doing and not acting on that nagging feeling of "I can do better than this." That sucks more than looking for a job.
Hi. My name is Nathaniel, and I'm the new marketing and sales co-ordinator at TalentEgg. How did I get this job? I didn't settle and I stayed determined. Cheesy, I know, but it's true.
So, I'm asking you not to settle.
In fact, all of us here at TalentEgg won't let you. That's why we have the best internships and entry-level jobs from across Canada, so you can find the one that excites you and stops your mother form nagging you so much.
Employers and educators, this is where you'll find the students and new grads who have decided not to settle.
Welcome Nathaniel! I'm glad you decided to hold out for the egg carton!
P.S. Wicked picture!
I think you're selling yourself a bit short here… You also worked really, really hard, and proved to the whole team that you should be here. I think job hunting would suck less for recent grads if more of them had your attitude and work ethic!
Thanks Arina! I'm very glad too! I can't take credit for the pic, that was all Cassandra.
Cassandra – you're awesome! Thanks for the kind words and I'm very happy to be part of the team.
Hi Nathaniel,
I completely agree – finding a job can indeed suck. A year ago I was job hunting and panicking about having done my Undergrad degree in England and then needing to find a job in Canada but I found TalentEgg. I wrote to Lauren and she completely reassured me and I started to use TE as my friendly encyclopedia of knowledge for all things Canadian Employment related. The main thing I learned was to consider all options and network your butt off – which I did and now I have an awesome job working for a great start-up tech company in London. While I didn't end up in Canada all those lessons still applied no matter where I was in the world.
I've forwarded your article on to my little sister who is beginning her entry into the working world in Vancouver and finding it very frustrating and disheartening as I did. Hopefully Talent Egg will be able to help her as it did me.
You guys make what can be a terrifying part of growing up a far less scary place. Thanks, and what a fantastic job to have!
Hi Ali,
Thanks for the comment! It's always great to get positive feedback from someone who has been helped by TalentEgg. Especially on a Monday! Congrats on landing a great job! If you can remember, I'd love to know which articles you found most helpful?
Thanks for passing my post to your sister. If there is anything we can do to help her out, let me know.
Best of luck at your job!

'Bullying Bill' is unfunded
House Members Joe Radinovich and John Ward voted for the unfunded "Bullying Bill" mandate. When you see your property taxes go up, remember, the unfunded mandate had to be paid by somebody. Maybe they will give us a bailout on our property taxes to help pay for their votes.
This bill does not protect all children equally. call Joe at 888-682-6154 and John at 800-683-4205 to ask them why they voted for this.

Board attorney, county administrator fired, replaced
On successive split votes, the county Board of Supervisors voted Monday night to replace longtime Board attorney Andy Dulaney and county administrator Clifton Johnson.
Supervisor McKinley Daley, representing District 5, interrupted halfway through the regular meeting agenda to move that the Board "hire Ellis Pittman...to replace Dulaney Law Firm as Board attorney."
District 4's Henry Nickson quickly seconded, and before Board president James Dunn could get a handle on the developing situation, Phillis Williams of District 3 joined Daley and Nickson to oust Dulaney.
"Can you justify it?" Dunn broke in.

web designer + front-end developer

Do yourself a favor, and check this out.
Now that a real company is standing behind web fonts, I think web typography is going to explode.
The server response is unreal – I've not been seeing any flashes of un-styled content in any of my own test uses of it. Like in my headlines or current site title.
I also encourage others to start using these fonts that Google is hosting. The more they're used across the web, the more users will have cached versions of them – which means faster response for everyone.
I do have one question: how does one contribute to this apparently open-source effort? That is, can one contribute fonts to this directory? I'm sure the folks at The League of Movable Type would love to have some of their work represented.
