How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
The army officer and alleged collusion in Yemen
09 Jun 2013 15:34 GMT | Politics, Lebanon, Syria
It has been a week of military gains for the Syrian government whose soldiers won an important battle against the rebels after long and intense fighting.
President Bashar al-Assad's forces regained control of Qusayr - the strategic city near the border with Lebanon. The main opposition coalition conceded defeat but says the uprising will go on.
The Free Syrian Army withdrew mostly for humanitarian reasons, not because of military defeat - because the shelling was extremely heavy and there was a heavy casualty among the civilians.
Saleh Mubarak, a member of the opposition SNC
The city had been under the control of opposition forces since last year but the rebels were pushed out by the Syrian army and Hezbollah fighters from Lebanon.
Thousands had already fled the city, but what has happened to many others is unknown. Qusayr is strategically important because the rebels used it to smuggle weapons into Syria through Lebanon and the Mediterranean.
Meanwhile, on the diplomatic front, the UN special representative for Syria, Lakhdar Brahimi, confirmed that an international conference to be held in Geneva has been delayed. It will not take place until July at the earliest.
But the country may be a step closer to receiving military aid from Europe. In May, EU foreign ministers revised some of their sanctions against Syria.
The asset freeze against al-Assad and his close aides will stay in place and Syria will continue to face EU restrictions on trade and finance. But the weapons embargo ended on June 1. Still, no shipments are expected until August, at the earliest.
Finally, the United Nations has appealed for a record amount of humanitarian aid for Syrian refugees. It wants $3.9bn dollars on top of the $1.5bn it asked for earlier this year - which is a total of $5.4bn.
The UN's humanitarian aid chief, Valerie Amos, told Al Jazeera what she believes is at stake: "I think the world does feel for the people of Syria. It's appalled by the brutality. There's no doubt this is a lot of money but we are going to go all out to raise it."
To discuss the latest developments, Inside Syria, with presenter Ghida Fakhri, discusses with guests: Robert Densemore, a defence and military analyst, and the editor of Defence Report - an online publication about global defence and security; Aron Lund, a writer and Syria analyst; and Saleh Mubarak, a member of the opposition SNC.
"I am worried that the nature of the conflict may have reached and passed a tipping point and that now this is very much a full-scale sectarian conflict - there is no doubt that President Assad has initiated this by recruiting Hezbollah forces and inviting Iranian aid and forces into his country ... The problem is that the worst thing that can happen right now is for Assad's regime to fail because now that we have reached this point of inviting foreign fighters in on both sides - both Sunni and Shiite - this is no longer about achieving democratic ends to the protests that began two years ago."

Gregg Swearingen
Good morning, and thanks for joining us for our 2012 third quarter earnings call. Mike Koehler, Teradata's CEO, will begin today by summarizing Teradata's Q3 results. Steve Scheppmann, Teradata's CFO, will then provide more details regarding our financial performance, as well as our guidance for 2012. Darryl McDonald, Teradata's EVP of Applications, Business Development and CMO, is also in the room.
Our discussion today includes forecasts and other information that are considered forward-looking statements. While these statements reflect our current outlook, they are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to vary materially. These risk factors are described in Teradata's 10-K and other filings with the SEC.
On today's call, we will also be discussing certain non-GAAP financial information, which excludes stock-based compensation expense and other special items, as well as other non-GAAP items such as free cash flow and constant currency revenue comparisons. A reconciliation of our non-GAAP results to our reported GAAP results and other information concerning these measures is included in our earnings release and on the Investor page of Teradata's website, which can be found at teradata.com. A replay of this conference call will also be available later today on our website.
Teradata assumes no obligation to update or revise the information included in the call today, whether as a result of new information or future results. I'll now turn the call over to Mike.
Michael F. Koehler
Good morning, everyone. And for those of you impacted by the storm, I hope that you're all doing okay.
Overall, I was pleased with Teradata's execution in Q3 given the macroenvironment. Revenue of $647 million was generally in line with what we had expected, growing 7% as reported and 10% in constant currency. From a region perspective, EMEA and APJ came in higher than we had anticipated and the Americas lower.
We had strong yield on revenue in Q3 with non-GAAP operating income of $166 million, which was up 16% over prior year, and non-GAAP EPS of $0.69, which was up 17%.
Longer-term, we believe we are well positioned for a sustained double-digit revenue growth. We have market-leading technology and solutions to build upon in 3 large and growing markets: data warehousing, big data analytics and Integrated Marketing Management. These are market opportunities that will continue to be top priorities for corporations as they look to gain competitive advantage from big data and the big data channels such as social networks, the web, mobile and sensor.
Shorter-term, we are feeling the impacts of the macroenvironment but to varying degrees in each of the 3 regions.
In EMEA, we continue to generate double-digit organic constant currency revenue growth overall, but our results would be better if not for the macro headwinds. In APJ, we are now closing deals in China that were delayed from the first half. Japan is growing again, and overall, APJ is on track for decent growth for the year.
But in the Americas, we are now seeing slower growth and 3 factors that are contributing to this. First, we are seeing a little belt tightening and uncertainty on spending with some of our customers. Second, 95% of our revenue comes from our user base on average each year. The Americas' strong product revenue growth the past 2.5 years has added a lot of capacity to many of our customers, which gives them some flexibility as to when to add capacity, especially in times of uncertainty. And third, the prior year comparables, such as the 28% revenue growth we had in Q3 last year.
Although we experienced some minor lumpiness, overall, we believe these are the 3 key headwinds we saw in Q3 and also for what we are seeing in Q4 in the Americas.
The Americas' third quarter revenue of $384 million was up 2% and up 3% in constant currency over prior year. Year-to-date, revenue was up 15% as reported and also in constant currency. The win rates remained strong as evidenced with the Americas Q3 data warehouse new customer wins, which was the second highest for any quarter dating back to the year 2000.
New customers joining Teradata included Fruit of the Loom, which will use our data warehouse to provide a consolidated view of the supply chain and financial metrics across all of their brands; Aviva, one of the fastest-growing life insurance companies in the U.S., which is adding Teradata for predictive analytics; 24/7 Media, which will use Teradata to power its digital forecasting solution; The Men's Wearhouse which will consolidate its data markets into an integrated data warehouse for improved analytics; and Monroe Energy, a new oil refining company that will use Teradata as its foundation for integrated data and analytics.

Help if I add in Matt Slausen? or Jarius Wright rather than Amendola?
No one can argue that McKinnon should start over Spiller, lol. I don't think Amendola is better than Andrew Hawkins, nor do I really think Mohammed is any better than Maualuga (Mohammed is a better 3rd down LB, but Maualuga is a much better run defender). I don't think that trade improves my team in any tangible way.
Danny Amendola, Jerick McKinnon, Jorddan Mills, Mike Mohammod for Franklin
All cheap or free and all but McKinnon would start. And one could argue Jerick should start.
I guaranteed his entire contract when I signed him in FA. I can't move him unless I get like 4 or 5 really cheap starters.
Lol, I would offer quite a bit more but I totally understand that position
Orlando Franklin? Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Jordan Mills and Jerick McKinnon for Franklin?

Layla Rivera and Natasha Nice were just best friends hanging out on a lazy saturday. They decided to go to the local park and play some basketball, but soon realized it was way too hot and they both had something else on their minds, each other. They strip each other down and start kissing and caressing each other's tits. They then eat each other out right on the basketball courts, they were scared of being caught, but that only turned them on even more. They notice some people approaching so they hide behind some trees, but continue to pleasure each other. It starts getting too hot so they finish off by the pool.

With unsettling beauty and intelligence, Michael Ondaatje's Booker Prize-winning novel traces the intersection of four damaged lives in an abandoned Italian villa at the end of World War II.The nurse Hana, exhausted by death, obsessively tends to her last surviving patient. Caravaggio, the thief, tries to reimagine who he is, now that his hands are hopelessly maimed. The Indian sapper Kip searches for hidden bombs in a landscape where nothing is safe but himself. And at the center of his labyrinth lies the English patient, nameless and hideously burned, a man who is both a riddle and a provocation to his companions and whose memories of suffering, rescue, and betrayal illuminate this book like flashes of heat lightning.
About the AuthorMichael Ondaatje is a novelist and poet perhaps best known for his Booker Prize winning novel adapted into an Academy Award-winning film, The English Patient. His other books include Secular Love, In the Skin of a Lion, Running in the Family, and The Collected Works of Billy the Kid.

305/70/16 - to - 265/75/16
I am looking at replacing tires on my 2001, it currently has nikko terra graplers 305/70/16 - on stock rims - I am unsure of what lift is on the truck, as I just purchased it, and the prior owner did not know. I was considering the Hancook DynaPro ATM - but the same size is not available - and I don't want to go any wider or more expensive...what would the 265/75/16 be like compared to the 305? Feel, Look, Noise?
Anyone have the hancook on their truck in this size with pics?
your looking at about a 5-6inch drop in the height of the truck and im guessing the 305's where a little agressive because of the size so the sound could be less whiney , and there will be more space between your tire and wheel well , alot more space ... and because of the size tires on currently i'd guess theres at least a front leveling kit.
Well, seeing as you have the Sport, I think most of them came with like a 2 inch lift from the factory. That's why the 305's actually fit. Now, going from a 305 down to like a 265, you're gonna see a pretty big difference. First off, the truck will sit a little bit lower, but not 5-6 inches lower. The tires will be a lot thinner and won't stick out past the fenders. And you might feel a little difference handling like there's more body roll then what you're used to. If it were me, I'd get a 275 or 285/70/16.

Company Overview of Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc.
Company Overview
Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. engages in the ownership and operation of casino resort properties in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It owns and operates the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Resort and Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino, both located on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. The company's casino resorts operate approximately 5,700 slot machines, 280 table games, and 2,700 hotel rooms. Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. was founded in 1995 and is based in Atlantic City, New Jersey. On September 9, 2014, Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc., along with its affiliates, filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. Key Developments
Trump Entertainment Resorts has threatened to close the Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, N.J. on December 12, 2014. The issue is a union appeal of a bankruptcy court ruling that cancelled the pension and healthcare plans for workers. If the union continues, management says it will close. A closure of the casino would leave more than 3,000 people out of work. With recent closures at Revel, Showboat and Trump Plaza, roughly 6,100 have lost their jobs.
Carl Icahn is considering spending $100 million to save The Trump Taj Mahal casino from closing. Icahn is willing to consider the bailout "if and only if" he gets big givebacks from the casino workers' union, steep tax breaks from Atlantic City and county, and $25 million in funds from a New Jersey agency. Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. was presented a letter from Icahn's attorney, Allan Brilliant saying "Notwithstanding the fact that putting more money into the Taj is a questionable business decision, we share the company's desire to see the Taj Mahal remain open and preserve the jobs of the company's employees. Failing to get the concessions would make it impossible to operate a viable company at this time." Icahn was not available for comment.
Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. is reportedly considering buying back his Trump Entertainment Resorts, Inc. a day after it filed for Chapter 11. Trump plans to close the Trump Plaza casino in Atlantic City next week, and will shutter the Taj Mahal by November 13, 2014, unless it can come to an agreement with its union workers. Those closures would be the fourth and fifth casinos to cease operations in the New Jersey city this year.

Many dictionaries also note the metaphorical sense of "willful destruction of one's self-interest"[1] (e.g., "political suicide"). Suicide may occur for a number of reasons, including depression, shame, guilt, desperation, physical pain, emotional pressure, anxiety, financial difficulties, or other undesirable situations. The World Health Organization noted that over one million people commit suicide every year, and that it is one of the leading causes of death among teenagers and adults under 35.[2] There are an estimated 10 to 20 million non-fatal attempted suicides every year worldwide.[3] Views on suicide have been influenced by cultural views on existential themes such as religion, honor, and the meaning of life. The Abrahamic religions consider suicide an offense towards God due to religious belief in the sanctity of life. In the West it was often regarded as a serious crime. Japanese views on honor and religion led to seppuku, one of the most painful methods of suicide, to be respected as a means to atone for mistakes or failure, or as a form of protest during the samurai era. In the 20th century, suicide in the form of self-immolation has been used as a form of protest, and in the form of kamikaze and suicide bombing as a military or terrorist tactic. Sati is a Hindu funeral practice in which the widow would immolate herself on her husband's funeral pyre, either willingly, or under pressure from the family and in-laws.[4] Medically assisted suicide (euthanasia, or the right to die) is currently a controversial ethical issue involving people who are terminally ill, in extreme pain, and/or have minimal quality of life through injury or illness. Self-sacrifice for others is not usually considered suicide, as the goal is not to kill oneself but to save another. The predominant view of modern medicine is that suicide is a mental health concern, associated with psychological factors such as the difficulty of coping with depression, inescapable suffering or fear, or other mental disorders and pressures. A suicide attempt is sometimes interpreted as a "cry for help" and attention, or to express despair and the wish to escape, rather than a genuine intent to die.[5] Most people who attempt suicide do not complete suicide on a first attempt; those who later gain a history of repetitions have a significantly higher probability of eventual completion of suicide.[6] 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Suicide Epidemiology According to official statistics, about a million people die by suicide annually, more than those murdered or killed in war.[7] According to 2005 data, suicides in the U.S. outnumber homicides by nearly 2 to 1 and ranks as the 11th leading cause of death in the country, ahead of liver disease and Parkinson's disease.[8] According to a 2008 report from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's, Center for Injury Research and Policy, the rate of suicide in the United States is increasing for the first time in a decade. The increase in the overall suicide rate between 1999 and 2005 was due primarily to an increase in suicides among whites aged 40–64, with white middle-aged women experiencing the largest annual increase.[9] Worldwide suicide rates have increased by 60% in the past 50 years, mainly in the developing countries. Most suicides in the world occur in Asia, which is estimated to account for up to 60% of all suicides. According to the World Health Organization, China, India and Japan may account for 40% of all world suicides.[10] Gender and suicide: In the Western world, males die much more often by means of suicide than do females, although females attempt suicide more often. This pattern has held for at least a century. Some medical professionals believe this stems from the fact that males are more likely to end their lives through effective violent means (guns, knives, hanging, etc.), while women primarily use more failure-prone methods such as overdosing on medications. United States suicide rates for white men, by Health Service Area, 1988–1992. This map and the map at right use the same color scale: note the large difference in rates between men and women. The regional patterns for men and women are similar, but not the same.[11] social stigma against male depression and a lack of social networks of support and help with depression are often identified as key reasons for men's disproportionately higher level of suicides, since suicide as a "cry for help" is not seen by men as an equally viable option. Typically males die from suicide three to four times more often as females, and not unusually five or more times as often. CALM, the Campaign Against Living Miserably is a charity in the UK that attempts to highlight this issue for public discussion. Excess male mortality from suicide is also evident from data from non-western countries. In 1979–81, 74 territories reported one or more cases of suicides. Two of these reported equal rates for both sexes: Seychelles and Kenya. Three territories reported female rates exceeding male rates: Papua New Guinea, Macau, French Guiana. The remaining 69 territories had male suicide rates greater than female suicide rates.[12] Barraclough found that the female rates of those aged 5–14 equaled or exceeded the male rates only in 14 countries, mainly in South America and Asia.[13] China is the only country in the world where more women than men take their own lives, with female suicides representing 58 percent of the total.[14] National suicide rates: Some studies show that national suicide rates are generally stable,[17] but differ significantly between countries.[18] Ethnic groups and suicide: In the USA, Caucasians die by suicide more often than United States suicide rates for white women, by Health Service Area, 1988–1992.[11] Others ascribe the disparity to inherent differences in male/female psychology.

Some studies have found that elderly people are more likely to commit suicide around their birthdays. Related phenomena Euthanasia and assisted suicide Suicides in the U.S. by gender, age, and racial or ethnic group, 1999–2005. African Americans do. This is true for both genders. Non-Hispanic Caucasians are nearly 2.5 times more likely to kill themselves than are African Americans or Hispanics.[19] Age and suicide: In the USA, males over the age of seventy die by suicide more often than younger males. There is no such trend for females. Older non-Hispanic Caucasian men are much more likely to kill themselves than older men or women of any other group. Season and suicide: People die by suicide more often during spring and summer. The idea that suicide is more common during Euthanasia machine invented by Dr. Philip Nitschke, on display at Science Museum, London. Individuals who wish to end their own life may enlist the assistance of another person to achieve death. The other person, usually a family member or physician, may help carry out the act if the individual lacks the physical capacity to do so even with the supplied means. Assisted suicide is a contentious moral and political issue in many countries, as seen in the scandal surrounding Dr. Jack Kevorkian, a medical practitioner who supported euthanasia, was found to have helped patients end their own lives, and was sentenced to prison time. 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Suicide Japanese air pilots during the Second World War. Murder-suicide A murder-suicide is an act in which an individual kills one or more other persons immediately before or at the same time as him or herself. The combination of murder and suicide can take various forms, including: • Suicide to facilitate murder, as in suicide bombing • Suicide after murder to escape punishment • Suicide after murder as a form of selfpunishment due to guilt • Having a combined objective of suicide and murder • Considering one's suicide as the main act, but murdering one's children first, to avoid them becoming orphans, to be together in an expected afterlife, in the context of severe depression where the person feels he is sparing his loved ones from a horrible life, or simply just to experience the act • Joint suicide in the form of killing the other with consent, and then killing oneself • Punishment - taking revenge on those deemed responsible and escaping the world seen as a terrible place, as in many school shootings • Committing suicide using a method that results in the deaths of others such as crashing an aeroplane, such a suicide was famously attempted in FedEx Flight 705 • Some cases of cult suicide may also involve murder. Conversely, many spree killings have ended in suicide. The motivation for the murder in murder-suicide can be purely criminal in nature or be perceived by the perpetrator as an act of care for loved ones in the context of severe depression. The severely depressed person may see the world as a terrible place and can feel that they are helping those they care about by removing them from it. Self-injury Self-injury is not a suicide attempt; however, initially self-injury was erroneously classified as a suicide attempt. There is a non-causal correlation between self-harm and suicide; both are most commonly a joint effect of depression. Suicide locations Some landmarks have become known for high-levels of suicide attempts. Two of the most popular locations in the world are reportedly San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge and Japan's Aokigahara Forest.[21] In 2005, the Golden Gate Bridge had a count exceeding 1,200 jumpers since its construction in 1937,[22] while Aokigahara has had a record of 78 bodies found within the forest in 2002, replacing the previous record of 73 in 1998.[23] The suicide rate of both places is so high that numerous signs, urging potential victims of suicide to seek help, have been posted. Beachy Head, in the United Kingdom, is another popular suicide location.[24] Suicide methods Suicide attack A suicide attack is when an attacker perpetrates an act of violence against others, typically to achieve a military or political goal, that results in his or her own death as well. Suicide bombings are often regarded as an act of terrorism. Historical examples include the assassination of Czar Alexander II and the in part successful kamikaze attacks by Percent of suicides that are by firearm in the United States, by gender and age, 1999–2005. Data from the CDC. In countries where firearms are readily available, many suicides involve the use of firearms. Over 52% of suicides that occurred in the United States in 2005 were by 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia firearm.[25] Asphyxiation methods (including hanging) and toxification (poisoning and overdose) are fairly common as well. Together they comprised about 40% of U.S. suicides during the same time period. Other methods of suicide include blunt force trauma (jumping from a building or bridge, self-defenestrating, stepping in front of a train, or car collision, for example). Exsanguination or bloodletting (slitting one's wrist or throat), intentional drowning, self-immolation, electrocution, and intentional starvation are other suicide methods. Individuals may also intentionally provoke another person into administering lethal action against them, as in suicide by cop. Suicide biased if he believes that suicidal people must be mentally ill. This bias is indirectly confirmed by statistics: "the highest estimate of mental illness when a sample had been diagnosed before suicide was 22 percent. Afterward the highest estimate was 90 percent."[28] Use of after-the-fact diagnosis may lead to a kind of tautology. In simple words, "We say, in essence, 'All people who attempt suicide are mentally ill.' If someone asks, 'How do you know they are mentally ill?' the implied answer is, 'Because only mentally ill persons would try to commit suicide.'[29] Other reasons Suicide as a form of defiance and protest In the 1960s, Buddhist monks, most notably Thích Quảng Đức in South Vietnam, drew Western attention to their protests against President Ngô Đình Diệm by burning themselves to death. Also in the 1960s, Quaker Norman Morrison committed suicide by selfimmolation to protest the United States involvement in the Vietnam War. In Ireland there exists a long tradition of hunger strike to the death against British rule, predominantly in Northern Ireland during the infamous 1981 hunger strikes, led by Bobby Sands, which resulted in 10 deaths. The period caused international outrage as shown by the Indian parliament standing for two minutes of silence and the Iranian government renaming the street in Tehran on which the British Embassy stands to "Bobby Sands Street". Suicide and mental illness Studies show a high incidence of mental disorders in suicide victims at the time of their death with the total figure ranging from 98%[26] to 87.3%[27] with mood disorders and substance abuse being the two most common. A person diagnosed with schizophrenia may commit suicide for a number of reasons, including because of depression. Suicide among people suffering from bipolar disorder is often an impulse, which is due to the sufferer's extreme mood swings (one of the main symptoms of bipolar disorder), or also possibly an outcome of delusions occurring during an episode of mania or psychotic depression. Major depressive disorder is associated with a higher than average rate of suicide, especially in men. Judicial suicide A person who has committed a crime may commit suicide to avoid prosecution and disgrace: • Irish revolutionary Theobald Wolfe Tone cut his throat rather than be hanged, after his request for a firing squad (a death worthy of a soldier) was denied. • Colonel Alfred Redl was presented with the evidence of his espionage and shot himself to avoid a trial. • Budd Dwyer, a Treasurer of Pennsylvania, killed himself on January 22, 1987 while on live television after being convicted (wrongly, he claimed) of financial crimes, in order to draw attention to his case and to enable his widow to draw survivor World map of suicide rates per 100,000. Controversial criticism Many studies measuring incidence of psychiatric disorder in suicides employ after-thefact diagnosis. Such studies are often criticized for lack of objectivity. The main argument is that a decision of the psychiatrist is 5 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia benefits (since he died before being removed from office). • More recently, Deborah Jeane Palfrey, dubbed the DC Madam by the media, was convicted on April 15, 2008 of racketeering, using the mail for illegal purposes, and money laundering. On May 1, 2008 she was found dead by hanging, an apparent suicide. Suicide weapon to the enemy. Perhaps the most famous example of dutiful suicide is a soldier in a foxhole throwing his body on a live grenade to save the lives of his comrades. Examples • Disgraced Roman aristocrats were sometimes allowed to commit suicide to spare themselves a trial and penalties against their families. An example of this was Emperor Nero who reportedly committed forced suicide following a large fire that burned through much of Rome.[30] • Erwin Rommel, found to have foreknowledge of the July 20 Plot on Hitler's life, was threatened with public trial, execution and reprisals on his family unless he killed himself, which he did.[31] Military suicide Impact of suicide It is estimated that each suicide in the United States leaves an average of six people intimately affected by the death, either as a spouse, parent, significant other, sibling, or child of the deceased person. These people are referred to as survivors.[32] It is estimated that 80% of all in home suicide scenes are cleaned up by a close friend, significant other, or a family member. Those that cleanup a suicide scene of a close friend, significant other, or a family member are 75% more likely to commit suicide later on in life.[33] A kamikaze attack on the escort carrier USS White Plains In the final days of World War II, some Japanese pilots volunteered for kamikaze missions in an attempt to forestall defeat for the Empire. Near the end of WW2 the Japanese designed a small aircraft whose only purpose was kamikaze missions. In Nazi Germany, many soldiers and government officials (including Adolf Hitler) killed themselves rather than surrender to Allied forces. The Japanese also built one-man "human torpedo" suicide submarines called Kaitens. Views on suicide Medical In the United States, individuals who express the intent to harm themselves are automatically determined to lack the present mental capacity to refuse treatment, and can be transported to the emergency department against their will. An emergency physician will determine whether inpatient care at a mental health care facility is warranted. This is sometimes referred to as being "committed". A court hearing may be held to determine the individual's competence. In most states, a psychiatrist may hold the person for a specific time period without a judicial order. If the psychiatrist determines the person to be a threat to himself or others, the person may be admitted involuntarily to a Dutiful suicide Dutiful suicide is an act, or non-fatal attempt at the act, of fatal self-violence at one's own hands done in the belief that it will secure a greater good, rather than to escape harsh or impossible conditions. It can be voluntary, to relieve some dishonor or punishment, or imposed by threats of death or reprisals on one's family or reputation (a kind of murder by remote control). It can be culturally traditional or generally abhorred; it can be heavily ritualized as in seppuku or purely functional. Dutiful suicide can be distinguished from a kamikaze or suicide bomb attack, in which a fighter consumes his own life in delivering a 6 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia psychiatric treatment facility. This period is usually of three days duration. After this time the person must be discharged or appear in front of a judge. As in any judicial proceeding this person has a right to legal counsel.[34] Switzerland has recently taken steps to legalize assisted suicide for the chronically mentally ill. The high court in Lausanne, in a 2006 ruling, granted an anonymous individual with longstanding psychiatric difficulties the right to end his own life. At least one leading American bioethicist, Jacob Appel of Brown University, has argued that the American medical community ought to condone suicide in certain individuals with mental illness.[35] Suicide • German law interprets suicide as an accident and anyone present during suicide may be prosecuted for failure to render aid in an emergency. A suicide legally becomes emergency when a suicidal person loses consciousness. Failure to render aid is punishable under article 323c of the StGB, with a maximum one year jail sentence. Cultural In the Warring States Period and the Edo period of Japan, samurai who disgraced their honor chose to end their own lives by seppuku, a method in which the samurai takes a sword and slices into his abdomen, causing a fatal injury. The cut is usually performed diagonally from the top corner of the samurai's writing hand, and has long been considered an honorable form of death (even when done to punish dishonor). Though such a wound would be fatal, seppuku was not always technically suicide, as the samurai's assistant (the kaishaku) would usually stand by to cut short any suffering by quickly administering a fatal cut to the back of the neck (just short of decapitation), sometimes as soon as the first tiny incision into the abdomen was made. Criminal In some jurisdictions, an act or incomplete act of suicide is considered to be a crime. More commonly, a surviving party member who assisted in the suicide attempt will face criminal charges. In Brazil, if the help is directed to a minor, the penalty is applied in its double and not considered as homicide. In Italy and Canada, instigating another to suicide is also a criminal offense. In Singapore, assisting in the suicide of a mentally handicapped person is a capital offense. In India, abetting suicide of a minor or a mentally challenged person can result in a maximum 1 year prison term with a possible fine.[36] Religious In most forms of Christianity, suicide is considered a sin, based mainly on the writings of influential Christian thinkers of the Middle Ages, such as St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas; suicide was not considered a sin under the Byzantine Christian code of Justinian, for instance.[38][39] The argument is based on the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" (made applicable under the New Covenant by Jesus in Matthew 19:18), as well as the idea that life is a gift given by God which should not be spurned, and that suicide is against the "natural order" and thus interferes with God's master plan for the world.[40][41] However, it is believed that mental illness or grave fear of suffering diminishes the responsibility of the one completing suicide.[42] Counter-arguments include the following: that the sixth commandment is more accurately translated as "thou shalt not murder", not necessarily applying to the self; that taking one's own life no more violates God's law than does curing a disease; and that a number of suicides by followers of God are A tantō knife prepared for seppuku In Germany, the following laws apply to cases of suicide:[37] • Active euthanasia (killing on request) is prohibited by article 216 of the StGB (Strafgesetzbuch, German Criminal Code), punishable with six months to five years in jail 7 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia recorded in the Bible with no dire condemnation.[43] Judaism focuses on the importance of valuing this life, and as such, suicide is tantamount to denying God's goodness in the world. Despite this, under extreme circumstances when there has seemed no choice but to either be killed or forced to betray their religion, Jews have committed individual suicide or mass suicide (see Masada, First French persecution of the Jews, and York Castle for examples) and as a grim reminder there is even a prayer in the Jewish liturgy for "when the knife is at the throat", for those dying "to sanctify God's Name". (See: Martyrdom). These acts have received mixed responses by Jewish authorities, regarded both as examples of heroic martyrdom, whilst others state that it was wrong for them to take their own lives in anticipation of martyrdom.[44] Suicide is not allowed in the religion of Islam; however, martyring oneself for Allah (during combat) is not the same as completing suicide. Suicide in Islam is seen as a sign of disbelief in God.[45] The use of suicide attacks is strictly forbidden in Islam, however it is practised by Radical groups such as Hamas and Al-Qaeda in Iraq. In Hinduism, suicide is frowned upon and is considered equally sinful as murdering another. Hindu Scriptures state that one who commits suicide will become part of the spirit world, wandering earth until the time one would have otherwise died, had one not committed suicide.[46] Suicide Some see suicide as a legitimate matter of personal choice and a human right (colloquially known as the right to die movement), and maintain that no one should be forced to suffer against their will, particularly from conditions such as incurable disease, mental illness, and old age that have no possibility of improvement. Proponents of this view reject the belief that suicide is always irrational, arguing instead that it can be a valid last resort for those enduring major pain or trauma. This perspective is most popular in continental Europe, where euthanasia and other such topics are commonly discussed in parliament, although it has a good deal of support.[47] A narrower segment of this group considers suicide something between a grave but condonable choice in some circumstances and a sacrosanct right for anyone (even a young and healthy person) who believes they have rationally and conscientiously come to the decision to end their own lives. Notable supporters of this school of thought include German pessimist philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer,[48] and Scottish empiricist David Hume.[49] Adherents of this view often advocate the abrogation of statutes that restrict the liberties of people known to be suicidal, such as laws permitting their involuntary commitment to mental hospitals. Peer encouragement of suicide Some suicides are done under peer pressure. It can take place with as few as two people, in a "suicide pact", in which two people pledge to die together, or with larger amounts of people, as in a cult, as the mass suicide/massacre that took place in Jonestown, Guyana. Others have been encouraged to commit suicide. In 2008, a Florida teen committed suicide in front of a live webcam stream. Some onlookers encouraged him to do so, although they were not all proven to have been aware that it was not simply a false teen prank. Most thought he was merely play acting.[50] Philosophical See also The Way Out, or Suicidal Ideation: George Grie, 2007 • American Foundation for Suicide Prevention • CALM, Campaign Against Living Miserably 8 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Cult suicide National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Mass suicide Mercy killing The Myth of Sisyphus Jack Kevorkian Quantum suicide Samaritans (charity) Senicide Suicide Act 1961 Suicide attack Suicide bridge Suicide methods Suicide note Suicide Prevention Action Network USA Suicide watch Suicide mental_health/prevention/suicide/ suicideprevent/en/.

The Hemi in the Barn: More Great Stories of Automotive Archaeologyby Tom Cotter
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
"Tom Cotter tells fascinating tales of dream cars discovered everywhere . . . the stuff of every enthusiast's fantasy." — Road & Track
Yes, the dream really does come true. Finding a great classic car hidden under a tarp in some great-granny's garage is not a myth, as author Tom Cotter proves again with his follow-up to The Cobra in the Barn. With nearly forty more stories of cars long lost and eventually found, The Hemi in the Barn: More Great Stories of Automotive Archaeology continues the search for amazing barn finds, detailing every tip and hunch followed along the way.
Some of the treasures found include a rare, unrestored Duesenberg that Jay Leno discovered in a Burbank garage, another Duesie long abandoned in a New York City parking garage, as well as a Plymouth Superbird hidden in an Alabama hedge. And there's the story of the original Cobra Daytona Coupe built by Peter Brock and sold to Phil Spector—a story that somehow involves a divorcée setting herself and her rabbits on fire. As entertaining as these tales are, they're also full of tantalizing hints and suggestions for your next barn-finding adventure. Time to stop dreaming and start hunting.
"Every car enthusiast dreams about finding an old car in a barn. I've been lucky to find a few cars that way, and two of those stories are in this book. Sometimes 'barn finds' are valuable; sometimes they're not. But they're usually great stories. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did." - Jay Leno, host of The Tonight Show
"Tom Cotter's sequel to the best-selling The Cobra in the Barn relays one great tale after another, with players unearthing rare cars to die for. The treasures include an armored Mercedes-Benz Aktion P command car discovered in pieces in Russia, a desirable Dodge Daytona Hemi virtually abandoned behind bushes in a guy's yard, a bushel of Bugattis in a barn, the 'Divorcee Cobra,' and a GTO owned by a mobster. These are great stories about great cars." - Edmunds.com
"The book is highly entertaining, often exciting and should hold universal appeal for all car enthusiasts." - Hemmings Muscle Machines
It's every car lover's fantasy: the perfectly preserved classic automobile discovered under a blanket in some great-granny's garage. And as author Tom Cotter has discovered time and again, it's a fantasy that can come true. The Hemi in the Barn offers more than forty stories of amazing finds and automotive resurrections. Avid collectors big and small recall the thrills of the hunt, the tips and hunches followed, clues pursued, the heart-stopping payoff. There's the forgotten Duesenberg—probably one of the last unrestored ones around—that Jay Leno found in a Burbank garage. Unbelievably, Leno found another Duesenberg in a parking garage in New York City—a car that was parked in 1933 and never moved. There's a Plymouth Superbird found buried in a hedge in Alabama. There's the rescue of the first 1955 Corvette ever built. As entertaining as these tales are, they're also full of tantalizing hints and suggestions for readers setting off on their own adventures in automotive archaeology.
About the Author
Tom Cotter writes regularly for Road & Track and has a deep-seated love for automotive rescue. One of his best-known saves, a neglected Shelby Cobra, was chronicled by Peter Egan in Road & Track. Tom has been in and around cars all of his life and built up one of the most successful PR agencies in motorsports, with a client list that included Lowe's, McDonalds, Mercedes-Benz, Ford, Dodge, Pontiac, BMW, John Deere, UPS, General Foods, Sears, and Speed. Cotter resides in Davidson, North Carolina, with his family and a garage full of collector cars.

Just in case others have the same issues with the mouse. I am running Windows 7 pro 64 bit and a GTX 560Ti. I cannot run an newer driver than v314.22 without the curser changing into a text edit mode and the PC freezing. Sometimes it's a lock that will cure itself wtihin 10 or 15 seconds, sometimes it locks completely and I have to hard reset. It will even crash the PC into power off state with little or no warning.
Event viewer only shows the event occassionaly and only as a recognition that the graphics drivers are causing the problem. Not why they are casuing the problem. Have given up trying to update to the latest drivers. Have tried installing three different driver versions over the past 6 months and no joy. Version 314.22 does work very well for me however.

Since it is a sin for a REIT to have significant idle funds, I wonder what IRT is doing with its $33 million in cash. $3 million went back to RAS buying back some prfd shares. The property they bought could have been done with 100% cash for now, so that a nice chunk of cash it at work. Still that leaves almost $20 million idle. Can they lend it to their parent company, RAS? They obviously should do that so they get some type of return.
They found ways to use up the $33 million ASAP.
That was my post on dividend, it somehow got mislabeled and moved here
IRT did the apt acq beginning of Sept, they'll keep doing those $15 mil one offs I suspect. Economics on the one they did look good, ESP if they finance at low rate
I didn't know that there was enough available information to know that it was a good deal. We know what they paid, we know they have 98% occupancy. I assume they got it at a reasonable price relative to cash flow, but how do we know? Did I miss a bit of info?
Wonered if there was a Yahoo cross pointer in there somewhere?
