Eighteen months ago, who could have predicted that Sara Yoheved Rigler's book Holy Woman would become the second bestselling biography in ArtScroll's history? Many readers have declared it to be one of the most important mussar books they've ever read. A leading Lakewood Rosh Yeshivah urged all of his married students to buy the book — not for their wives, but for themselves to read!

Recently I saw in Halacha that it is inappropriate to have the sermon right before Kaddish of Musaf as it is considered a Hefsek. Yet many Shuls do just that and have the sermon right before Kaddish of Musaf. Is there any justification to do that? What is the source?
Although the Taz (S.A. O.C 55:3) only requires a minyan at the time of kadish, the Magen Avraham (69:4, 234:1) and others say that there needs to be a minyan at the time of pesukim/learning for the kadish to go on. I assume that the shuls don't want to leave the Torahs out and don't want to change the order of davening (and say ashrei after the Torahs are put away), and so rely on the pesukim in the drasha. Perhaps even the Taz (234:1) would not consider it a hefsek because the drasha is part of the pesukim. | |||
When one puts on Rabbeinu Tams before musaf on Rosh Chodesh, the custom is for the Chazan to say a pasuk quietly before Musaf because the donning of Tfillin is a Hefsek (though those not wearing Rabbeinu Tam Tfilin don't because just taking of tfillin is not). Perhaps that is what one should do (see LOR!). Though many say it is also disrespectful to speak before Torah reading (It's like saying "My speech is more important than the Torah"). Speeking after Davening isn't possible because people would run away before. | |||

By Henry Cuningham Military editor
"Hurricane Sequestration" is headed for Fayetteville, and local businesses should prepare for its impact, Fayetteville Regional Chamber leaders said Wednesday.
"We all stand to take a pretty big haircut," Doug Peters, president and CEO of the chamber, told about 40 business leaders at Methodist University.
Peters was among several speakers at a forum on how defense cuts in the Budget Control Act could hurt small businesses. The mandatory federal cuts, which would take effect in January, also could have other long-term implications, such as on education and early childhood programs, he said.
The speakers said the cuts could ripple across the Fayetteville area's military-dependent economy, from retail to real estate. Businesses already have difficulty making end-of-year budget decisions with uncertainty over what is to come.
In 2011, Fort Bragg had a $10.9 billion direct and indirect economic impact on 11 counties, according to the Army post's latest available figures.
Under federal law, automatic across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration begin in 2013 on top of budget cuts already in place. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said Congress must act to avert sequestration before it takes effect on Jan. 2, "and Congress is certainly on the clock when it comes to that potential sequestration occurring."
Businesses will face uncertainty even if Congress votes to postpone austere budget cutting, speakers said. Defense contractors may not get contracts renewed, and people might not be able to sell their houses for what they paid, said Doug Nunnally of the Fayetteville Regional Association of Realtors.
Elected officials in Washington say nothing will be done until after the election and the president's inauguration, Nunnally said.
Tighter federal dollars could lead to more audits of contractors, which could lead to investigations, said Keith Tilghman of Bank of America-Merrill Lynch.
Large contracts are "big targets for budget cutting," and contractors should conduct internal self-assessments to identify possible problems, Tilghman said.
Fort Bragg was the source of about $635 million in government contracts in 2011, according to the post.
"You should assume less-mission-essential activities will be phased out," Tilghman said.
The federal government's civilian workforce may take some of the hardest hits, said Brian Kent, president of K3 Enterprises.
Fort Bragg's Army civilian payroll in 2011 was more than $548 million, according to the Army post.
The cuts are looming as the military is repairing equipment that has been in Iraq and Afghanistan for the past decade, Kent said.
Large defense contractors are less likely to expand or retain operations in places such as Fayetteville, Kent said.
"The big boys are going to stay in Virginia," Kent said.

A sting operation aimed at online child predators led to arrest for a man who authorities say thought he was communicating with a 12-year-old girl, but was really sending graphic photos and other sexual content to an undercover law enforcement officer. He was arrested while at a Gadsden County high school where authorities say he sought employment and had spent more than two weeks volunteering.
It's a sure sign school is only days away when backpacks are flying off the shelves and filler paper and pencils dominate the aisles in most stores.
Some lucky Gadsden County parents didn't have to fight the crowds at retail stores to get their kids back-to-school supplies. Saturday, Aug. 10, the Gadsden County School District held its annual school supplies giveaway at James A. Shanks Middle School. Hundreds of children and parents took advantage of the opportunity.
Midway city officials were all smiles Thursday, Aug. 8, at the official ribbon cutting ceremony for Fire Station No. 2. County officials as well as state and federal representatives were on hand for the momentous occasion.
The Midway Town Council voted unanimously during the Aug. 1 monthly meeting not to allow the sale of alcohol at a proposed adult entertainment center. There wasn't a vacant seat in the meeting chamber as opponents packed the house.
"You don't have enough police, the sheriff has said, through his spokesman, that it will stretch them to their limits," said the Rev. Charles Scriven, who has been an outspoken critic of the proposed club from the beginning.
Harold Usry doesn't really have a place to call home. Now 56, the entire state of Florida, from Escambia County (Pensacola) to Monroe County (Key West) is where he lives.
Usry has a most unusual occupation: He paints flagpoles. That's how he makes his living, going from town to town, just painting flagpoles. His meager belongings are never too far away from him, usually tied to his Huffy mountain bike that he lovingly refers to "the old lady."
A spokeswoman for the Florida Department of law Enforcement confirmed Aug. 1 that an investigation has been initiated involving the April 29 city of Quincy election.
"All I can say is that an active investigation in underway, which is all I can say about it," said Linda MacDonald.
Michael Murphy of Hatch, Mott & MacDonald engineering brought the Midway Town Council up to date on the firm's progress with their facilities plan during the Aug. 1 council meeting.

In a year when the number of "A" elementary school dropped by 48 percent statewide, Gadsden County kept the A's it had last year and added one more, for a total of four elementary schools earning top marks.
"That's significant in this particular environment," Reginald James, superintendent of Schools, said in a press conference.
At about 7:20 a.m. Friday, the Quincy Police Department responded to area of the 612 4th St., Quincy, in reference to a man attempting to run over a woman, according to a QPD press release.
First Baptist Church in Quincy was almost packed to the rafters Tuesday, July 23, when the Daraja Children Choir of Africa performed. The children's dynamic voices had people standing on their feet, waving their hands in praise.

Craig DeMartino Wins at ABS Nationals
Congratulations to Arc'athlete Craig DeMartino, who recently won the Paraclimbing Competition at this year's American Bouldering Series Nationals. Here is his wrap-up report:
"Now that the chalk has settled and I'm back home, I'm super stoked on the happenings of the past weekend. This was the first time that USA Climbing had a paraclimbing comp here in the US. We had our own division in the Citizens National on Saturday and had seven climbers from all over the US come in to compete.
The vibe was one of support and competition, which is how I like things to be. The men had a group of five strong climbers (after much convincing, my buddy Pablo, who crushes, entered and did just what I thought he would do – crush!) He placed second in a tie with Ronnie Dickson from Florida. Third place went to Perry from Atlanta, a below-the-knee amputee who also gets up the rocks with amazing grace and power.
For my part, I was fortunate to win the event, and it is so amazing to me the amount of support I receive from the other climbers at the comps. I climbed alongside regular climbers and we worked problems together, feeding off one another's beta and psych. This being the first comp here, it made it extra special to win, and it sets me up for the path to return to the Paraclimbing Worlds next year in Spain.
For now, I'm enjoying the win, but as usual, I'm already starting the training program for the Mountain Games in June, and the championships in Spain. I'm just not good at sitting around!"

It's generating a lot of -- -- in a tough economy.
Psychologist Karen Stewart here to sort it out to doctor.
This is just so is this something no I mean it sounds like it's pretty bad when you start reading through some of the numbers of this that it's it's gotta be.
Of one of the best economic indicators when you see all these adult children -- living with mom and a.
Absolutely actually one out of every seven -- the sudden.
One out of every seven people forty to 59 years old is now being supported by one of their family numbers it's it's kind of a -- so.
What I think about the is that you know the sale orders you think about them is going to be dolls they're trying to help elderly parents are also trying to help her adult children.
We'll now move back home -- it's causing a real chaos for all these families.
I get -- I get the elderly parents sometimes mom and dad right.
Weren't financially well off or -- they did not handle their finances right or they.
Through this economy that we've had a pattern of bad play of their cards but -- -- -- I wanna focus on the on the kids because.
I'm thinking they you know when you I got out of college windows live is like let me get the world -- by -- John.
Don't want places here that's got to be a major setback that could last a long time MR right.
-- and fortunately very right because what happens is everybody leaves college bright eyed bushy -- I'm gonna go conquer the world.
And then you get the job market and you can't find a job and one month three months now a year goes by.
You're now hitting with your student not that so now you have student loans you have your rent you have your living expenses usually can't afford yourself.
You have to go back home to mom and dad which is the only place you can -- so your parents -- ready for you to come back home they can't afford it you can't afford yourself.
So now they can be out your -- so -- support families are really struggling and it causes a huge problem in between.
All the generations basically what happens is the younger generation what are the adult children.
They've now become depressed because they have to grass and go back home is really causing a huge problem.
Well listen I think we've all had this conversation with friends or relatives and not only do the kids not want to be there.
But you can't go right back home and it you know that they probably never heard this from their parents probably July the parents don't want them there either there's something about.
Loving your children and then letting them fly out of the nest but the right and -- party it doesn't work now now I -- know where you were last night who Wear you out with -- I know exactly -- don't and -- actions.
Right and don't asking those questions I'm at a dollar can do what I want but.
You know whenever I work with children have to go back home to -- and -- you've -- respect your parents.
You know unfortunately it's that given take it you want free rent you want free food you gotta let your hair is -- yet on who you're doing outlet.
Yup that's kind of dichotomy that these people are dealing with the full grown adults are supposed to be on the -- and now they're back -- her mommy and -- groups that aren't really big conflict complicated -- You're -- in psychology business so for that yes.
Forty -- some.
Clean person that's got.
Johnny or Susie still living with them or came back home care and they got the parents that are saying we're in trouble.
This -- distressed the financial stress it's gotta be a doozy.
-- absolutely because nobody's ready for all that and if you think about it.
In our society -- -- trying to get stable enough so we are able to help our elderly parents that's kind of the goal you want to do better than a generation about the -- So when they're ready and they're set up they're taking care of themselves then they have to deal with her elderly parents now -- and dying knock on the door and like surprise -- living here to.
They don't have enough they don't have enough money -- -- around 33 generations.
-- that tough look there's tough love not apply in this case because they've really don't.
They're not doing their -- purposes is simply the cards that are dealt with the local with the economy.
This is how I would describe that yes I believe in tough love and that.
But what -- really gonna do if your child legitimately has lost her job or they can't find a job.
You know let's be honest nobody wants to move back -- all these kids are coming home and some sort of crisis.
You know you probably do have to open your doors but how long is that door open that's the biggest problem I see with us.
Is because of Johnny and Susie walk in the door on January 1 does that mean -- welcome -- on March 1 or is it you know in January of 2004.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Authorities say eight people have died so far in traffic crashes on Georgia roads during the Christmas holiday weekend.
The Georgia State Patrol reported the numbers Monday morning. The State Patrol based the count on a Christmas holiday period that began at 6 p.m. Friday and ends at midnight Tuesday.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports (http://bit.ly/U6t3N4) that state troopers investigated five of the fatalities reported through 12:30 a.m. Monday, with the other three deaths being investigated by police in Smyrna, College Park and Newnan.
The State Patrol worked 298 crashes with 124 injuries through early Monday.
Last year, three people died statewide in Christmas holiday wrecks.

The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
In wet conditions at the Stade de France they had the better of the first half, going in at half-time six points to the good thanks to two Greig Laidlaw penalties.
Les Bleus responded with three penalties to lead for the first time, and although Laidlaw got the Scots back on level terms, two quick tries from Wesley Fofana and Maxime Médard just after the hour, turned the tide decisively.
Tim Visser hit back for the Scots late on, and Hamilton insists there are positives to take from the tournament as a whole despite the defeat in Paris.
He said: "Naturally we are pretty disappointed, we thought we could come here and win and that was our mindset going into the game.
"Up to 60 minutes we were definitely in the game and then the tide turned a bit, we dropped off a few tackles, they probably got a bit of dominance in the scrum and that was probably the turning point.
"We've got to take a lot out of that. We have had a half-decent tournament, our defence has been outstanding at times, we've dug deep and we are team that never give up.
"We've got a lot to work on and we just want to get better every time we play.
"We are on an upward curve, we've always said we are trying to learn, we've got new guys in the team, we have got a few young guys who are stepping up and doing well.
"There is still a lot of work to do, we've got a big tour in the summer and we are just looking to improve every time we play."

Pope: Evangelization connects to solidarity for oppressed
To not be concerned with life's temporal problems would be to forget the Gospel teaching to love one's neighbor who is suffering and in need and "it would not be in harmony with Jesus' life," which combined proclaiming the Good News and curing people of disease and illness, the pope said in his message for World Mission Sunday 2011.
The annual observance will be marked Oct. 23 at the Vatican and in most countries.
In his message, the pope focused on the responsibility of every baptized Christian to announce the Gospel message to all men and women in every corner of the world.
"We cannot remain untroubled by the fact that after 2,000 years, there are still people who don't know Christ and still have not heard his message of salvation," the pope said.
Just as important is the cultural transformation of traditionally Christian countries that have forgotten or abandoned the Christian faith and are now "resistant to opening themselves up" to the dimension of religion and belief, it said.
Globalization and relativism have fueled the spread of a mentality and a lifestyle that "exalts the search for well-being and easy money and having one's career and success be the goals of life, even at the expense of moral values," the papal message said.
Bringing the Gospel to everyone is "the most precious service the church can give to humanity and to every individual on a quest for profound reasons to live life to the full," it said.
But evangelization is "a complex process" that includes solidarity with those in need, the papal message said.
Catholics are called to support foreign missions and to promote the human person, it said.
Pope Paul VI underlined that is was "unacceptable that evangelization would ignore questions concerning human development, justice and liberation from every form of oppression, obviously with respect for autonomy in the political sphere," it said.
Supporting missions
Supporting the church's work in missionary lands with their prayers and their financial contributions, Catholics also improve the lives of the poor and promote dialogue, said the new prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples.
"Evangelization always promotes the development of peoples," Archbishop Fernando Filoni told L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, Oct. 2.
"The proclamation of the Gospel brings and creates solidarity," said the archbishop, who was appointed in May to head the Vatican congregation responsible for the church in mission territories.
The Vatican newspaper interviewed him about the importance of the church's observation of October as a month dedicated to the missions. World Mission Sunday is Oct. 23.
Archbishop Filoni said all of the baptized have a responsibility for mission; besides being a command of Jesus, being blessed with the gift of faith naturally should lead people to want to share it.
Sharing the good news of God's love and of salvation offered through Jesus, he said, helps people live with greater dignity and instills in them the values they need to improve their societies.
"In defending the principles of the Gospel, one must speak of justice," which many of the countries in the mission lands need, he said.
While the first obligation of Christians is to tell others about Jesus, reaching out to them also includes concretely recognizing their human dignity by supporting education, health care and government and social networks that protect their human rights, he said.
"Evangelization also promotes ecology, helping make known and increasing respect for the environment both on the part of the local population as well as on our own," the archbishop said.
Archbishop Filoni, who served in the Vatican diplomatic corps in Iraq, Jordan and the Philippines, said the church's activity in mission lands also can promote dialogue with members of other religions.
"If the church is esteemed, it's clear that it always will be able to have a role anywhere, including in the Islamic world. I lived for a long time in the Muslim world and saw how our schools, for example, were very often frequented by Muslim students, which is a sign that their families valued and appreciated our service. Often," he said, "they asked that their children be formed in our principles of justice, truth and good.
"Esteem allows for dialogue, and with dialogue it is possible to coexist with all," the archbishop said.
While financial support for the missions is very important, he said, "we hope the generosity of Christians always will be accompanied by a great love for the missions and by fervent daily prayer in support of missionaries and the proclamation of the Gospel."

Generally finding the best running shoes for you will involve developing an understanding of the type of running you anticipate pursuing, developing an understanding of your personal biomechanics and finally performing some experimentation on which combination is right for you. This may seem like an insurmountable process, but if you can break the larger process down into smaller parts, it becomes much easier. Therefore, let's consider the steps in finding the best men's running shoes for you:
The primary two types of running are road running and trail running. Understandably, road running involves running on primarily paved surfaces, while trail running is off-road and commonly involves rocks, roots and other obstacles. When selecting the best running shoes for your application, consider which type of running you plan on pursuing most. Since road running focuses on repetitive forward motion, running shoes for this type are constructed accordingly, so lightweight running shoes and those that focus on cushioning or stability are often used. If trail running is your preferred activity, there are trail shoes for men that are built for lateral stability, support and under-foot protection. Clearly, selecting the right men's running shoes starts with your favored type of running.
Everyone has their own way of running. Typically your heel strikes the ground first and then rolls slightly inward as the arch flattens to cushion the impact. Known as biomechanics, this process is related to the shape of the feet and provides important clues when trying to find the best running shoes for you. Your biomechanics will reveal different types of arch motion experienced while running and the primary forms are:
Once you gain a better understanding of how you run, finding the right pair of men's running shoes will be much simpler. Although the best way to truly determine your running style is by visiting a podiatrist or physical therapist, you can find some clues by simply looking at the wear pattern on an existing pair of your shoes:
While there are several pieces of advice and tips that trainers and avid runners can provide depending on the type of running you are going to be engaged in, here are a few tips to get you running in the right direction toward the best running shoes and running accessories for you.
** It is best to check with a personal trainer and other professionals when preparing for a long run such as a marathon.

If it escapes you why the slogan "Don't Snitch," has more street creed than the slogan "Don't Shoot," the students who attend Manual Academy can tell you all about it.
For those of you who know nothing about what it takes to survive in the inner city; and seem to have this romanticized notion about "snitching." Here is how it works IF YOU ARE LUCKY and you snitch on the kid next door, or the kid down the street...
Boy arrested after allegedly threatening Peoria homicide witness
A heavy police presence greeted Manual Academy pupils Tuesday after a student who is a witness in some classmates' murder case was threatened at gunpoint Monday off school grounds.
Authorities have arrested a 16-year-old boy on harassment and weapons charges as part of an ongoing investigation into the slaying last week of Michael Robinson during an armed robbery.
Word of the witness's involvement with the case apparently began to spread among students Monday through Facebook, on which some of the suspects and their "friends" in the homicide last week identify themselves as being affiliated with the Bombsquad street gang.
Three juveniles were arrested over the weekend and charged as adults with murder - Charles Smith, 15, of 2431 W. Starr St.; Dionte Wells, 15, of 2722 W. Garden St.; and Marquis Flora, 16, of 719 S. Greenlawn Ave. - for the double shooting of Robinson and another man Sept. 26 at 2241 W. Starr St.
When the boys were charged as adults with murder on Sunday, several friends who identify themselves as Bombsquad members immediately copied the mug shots from pjstar.com and used them for their own profile pictures.
One person edited the photo to include a drawing of a handgun, caricatures of circular bombs with smiley faces on the foreheads of the boys and the words "one team" and "one dream" above and below their faces.
The threats against the witness began to show up within the Facebook network, according to authorities, then materialized in a face-to-face confrontation Monday afternoon. Source

Monarchs Fight On Despite Shootout Loss
MANCHESTER, NH – The Manchester Monarchs scored three goals in the third period but lost in a shootout against the Providence Bruins, 5-4, on their third annual Pink In The Rink game at the Verizon Wireless Arena on Tuesday night.
Manchester (21-22-2-3) is in fourth place in the Atlantic Division with 47 points. The Bruins (27-17-0-3) are in second place in the division with 57 points.
"We got a lot out of our guys in the third period," said Monarch Head Coach Mark Morris. "The second period put us in a hole. We spent a lot of energy in that period. I credit our guys for hanging in there and battling back. We did all we could until the shootout. We just needed a save."
Right wing Jamie Tardif, center Carter Camper, left wing Carter Cunningham, center Trent Whitfield and defenseman Torey Krug beat Monarchs goaltender Martin Jones in the shootout. Center Ryan Spooner, center Maxime Sauve, and right wing Graham Mink were denied by Jones in the shootout. Center Jordan Weal, right wing Tyler Toffoli, left wing Colton Yellow Horn and right wing Brandon Kozun scored on Bruins netminder Niklas Svedberg in the shootout. Svedberg denied left wing Tanner Pearson, center Linden Vey, left wing Andy Andreoff and center Robbie Czarnik in the shootout.
The Bruins opened the scoring with a goal by defenseman Matt Bartkowski at 6:18 of the first period. Bartkowski intercepted a pass in between the top of the face-off circles and skated into the left wing face-off circle where he wristed a shot high on the glove side of Jones burying his third goal of the season.
Spooner scored on the power play to give the Bruins a 2-0 lead at 4:06 of the second period. Tardif carried the puck behind the Monarchs cage before sending a pass to Spooner inside the right wing face-off circle. Spooner wristed a shot into the net for the goal. Krug recorded an assist on Spooner's 10th goal of the season.
Tardif scored on the power play at 8:14 of the second period making the score 3-0. Krug took a pass from Tardif before entering the Monarchs zone on the left wing. Krug skated down the left wing and behind the Monarchs net. Krug fed Tardif on the left doorstep who immediately took a shot that Jones denied. Tardif's rebound went into the air and was batted in by Tardif who had followed his own rebound. Camper also tallied an assist on Tardif's 24th goal of the season.
Yellow Horn scored to cut the Monarchs deficit to 3-1 at 12:20 of the second period. Yellow Horn skated down left wing in the Bruins zone and dropped the puck back to Weal in the left wing face-off circle. Weal skated in before wristing a shot that bounced off Svedberg landing in the crease. Yellow Horn came in and banged the puck into the back of the net for his first goal of the season.
Mink made the score 4-1 with a goal at 12:43 of the second period. Center Christian Hanson took a feed from Krug on the right doorstep. Hanson faded into the right wing face-off circle and fired a pass in front of the net. Krug redirected the pass for his second goal of the season.
Kozun scored on the power play at 4:55 of the third period to cut the Monarchs deficit to 4-2. Weal carried the puck to the bottom of the left wing face-off circle and sent a pass intended for Kozun in the right wing face-off circle. Yellow tipped the puck in front of the net to Kozun who finished the play burying his 12th goal of the season.
Monarchs defenseman Andrew Campbell cut the deficit to 4-3 with a goal at 5:44 of the third period. Andreoff fed a pass from the bottom of the right wing face-off circle to left wing David Meckler in between the top of the face-off circles. Meckler fanned on the one-timer but the puck traveled to the left point. Campbell jumped on the puck and took a slap shot that beat Svedberg for his first goal of the season.
Monarchs tied the game at 16:46 of the third period with a goal by Pearson. Vey played the puck in front of the benches to Pearson who broke in on the left wing. Pearson wristed a shot from inside the left wing face-off circle that beat Svedberg high on the glove side. Campbell also recorded an assist Pearson's 11th goal of the season.
Jones (7-16-3) took his third shootout loss of the season stopping 22-of-26 shots in regulation and overtime, and stopped three of eight shootout attempts. Svedberg (22-6-2) earned his 22nd win of the season making 27 saves on 31 shots in regulation and overtime, and stopped four of eight shootout attempts.
Manchester went 1-for-8 on the power play. Providence was 2-for-5 with the man advantage.
Notables: The Monarchs are on a six-game winless streak (0-5-0-1)…Monarchs left wing Colton Yellow Horn scored his first career American Hockey League goal…Monarchs defenseman Andrew Campbell scored his first goal since November 19, 2011.

These groups are not clueless when it comes to social media. But their efforts to spin the public may backfire because it can't silence other voices, said Zeynep Tufekci, a fellow at Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy.
Tufekci said she's having a hard time opening her Twitter timeline because it's littered with people on the ground who are posting "pictures of mangled children's dead bodies." Those photos -- and tweets from people on the ground who are experiencing the violence -- make the spin-heavy feeds from both sides of the conflict seem "hollow" and distortionist, Tufekci said.
She said it's especially jarring because the messages are stacked right on top of each other in her feed.
"I really think that the power of social media in such cases is to make real -- and very excruciatingly real, and horrifyingly real -- what war actually looks like," she said. "These (official) Twitter accounts, (from what) I've seen of IDF, they're trying to make it unreal. They're trying to spin it and have PR, and that is really not working because there are so many pictures coming out of the reality of what it looks like."
She hopes the graphic tweets will remind the public of the grave consequences for both sides. "It's not a social media war," she said. "It's a real war."

Chicken Tortilla Casserole for Two
I could eat comfort food year round - it definitely makes its way onto our menu from time to time even in the dog days of summer. The frequency really ramps up when the cooler weather arrives though; and while that hasn't happened with any regularity yet, it probably won't be too much longer. So, naturally I have been keeping my eyes peeled for new options to add to our rotation. You can never have too many comfort food dishes in your back pocket :)
Casseroles are something I don't make all that often, but there was no question I was making this as soon as I read Josie's post. She mentioned it's a repeat recipe in their house, and when a food blogger makes a recipe over and over again, you know it's a good one! I love that it's designed specifically for two and that it's made from just a short list of fresh ingredients, which definitely can't be said about all casseroles. Another added bonus - it's a one-pot meal so clean-up is quick and easy.
The only thing that made me slightly nervous about this recipe were the tortilla chips. I was worried they'd be soggy and completely unappealing but fortunately that wasn't the case. Half are added early in the cooking process and basically dissolve to thicken the sauce, and the remainder are added right at the end and retain their crunch so the dish has some texture.
Shane raved about this meal more than anything I've made in quite a while - he hasn't stopped asking me to make it again :) It has some heat from the chipotles, which he loved, while I enjoyed the freshness of the tomatoes and the herbs. And not surprisingly, we could both get behind the mound of cheese on top. This chicken tortilla casserole is simple, comforting and even relatively healthy - pretty much a winner in every category!
Chicken Tortilla Casserole for Two
adapted from Pink Parsley (originally adapted from Cook's Illustrated, Cooking for Two)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon canola oil
3 tablespoons minced red onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-2 tablespoons minced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
5 cups tortilla chips, broken into pieces
1 tomato, cored, seeded, and chopped
4 oz sharp cheddar, shredded
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Add the oil to a 10-inch oven-safe skillet and set over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken breasts and brown well on both sides, about 6-7 minutes total (the chicken won't be cooked through yet). Remove the chicken to a plate and tent to keep warm.
Add the onion, garlic, chipotle peppers, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the pan and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 3/4 cups of the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then mix in half of the tortilla chips. Reduce the heat to medium and nestle the chicken into the pan. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (it will register 160-165 F on an instant read thermometer). Remove the chicken to a plate and allow it to cool slightly. When you can handle it, shred into bite-size pieces.
Preheat your broiler and place an oven rack about 6 inches from it.
Add the shredded chicken, tomato, 1/2 cup of the cheese and 1 tablespoon of the parsley to the skillet, stirring to incorporate (if the mixture seems a little dry, stir in the remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth). Add the remaining tortilla chips and gently mix to combine.
Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the casserole and place under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and browned. (If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the mixture to a greased 9-inch baking pan and broil in there.) Remove and let cool for 5 minutes then garnish with the remaining parsley and serve.

This looks like just the right kind of comfort food. Someone pinned it so I grabbed it to put in my chicken board and give it a try. Fall/Winter are coming soon and my grill goes into hibernation in December, this looks like just the thing for then!

Just finished eating this. YUM. I used chicken that I had precooked and had in the freezer. I put the frozen chicken, broth, onion powder, garlic, first part of chips, chipotles in the pan together and cooked until the chicken was thawed and heated. Added a can of Rotel with green Chile's and the 1/2 c cheese. Then the remaining chips. I did add more water. Used too many chipotles so I mixed in 1c. Sour cream before topping with the last of the cheese. Served over Mexican rice.

It was the comment that launched a thousand hate e-mails and lit up "Twilight" message boards across the World Wide Webs. Previously adored, charming guy-next-door actor Adam Brody backhandedly told Kristen Stewart to "quit" acting if being famous bothered her so much.
The firestorm was sparked by an interview Brody gave on Diablo Cody's online chat show, "Red Band Trailer." When Cody asked Brody whether he enjoyed his celebrity or if he would prefer to be known as just "an actor," referencing Stewart's comments about wanting to be left alone, his response was a bit testy.
"It's only gotten worse, I'm sure, being a celebrity," Brody, who is in the "Scream 4″ cast, said. "At the same time, I don't have a lot of patience for people who moan about it too much. Because there are many things you could do. … It's like, quit … you don't need to be an actor, so it's like, if it's that much of a problem … there's the door."
And with that, the hate-on-Adam-Brody campaign began. When MTV News caught up with the man in question to talk about his upcoming ensemble flick "The Romantics," we asked him whether his response might have been taken out of context.
"I, no, I just, I, this is horrible," he started, seemingly uncomfortable addressing the hot-button issue. "It wasn't taken out of context. I saw [the episode] and thought I sounded like an idiot. I did," Brody admitted. "Regardless of how anyone else took anything, I would think that sounds very ungentlemanly and I sounded like a jackass."
A Hollywood actor who publicly acknowledges a gaffe? Well done, Mr. Brody. Points to the former "O.C." star for his honesty!

By Paul Woolverton Staff writer
The North Carolina Court of Appeals has overturned a $450,000 verdict in a wrongful termination and harassment lawsuit against the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. plant in Fayetteville.
The court overturned a Cumberland County jury's award to LaShanda Shaw, who worked at the plant from 2007 to 2009, based on a finding that Shaw brought her original case through the wrong venue. Her lawsuit accused the plant of wrongfully firing her after she complained of harassment and racial discrimination.
In an unrelated case, the Court of Appeals also ruled Tuesday that a man whose arm was crushed and burned in an accident at the Goodyear plant in 2000 is not due further compensation for a back injury.
According to Shaw's case, she managed work crews and said a supervisor repeatedly harassed her. She is black, and her complaint said she believed some of the harassment was based on her race and gender.
She alleged in court records that the supervisor, Doug Swain, yelled at her and belittled her, sometimes in front of others. She said she felt threatened and intimidated.
"Plaintiff's supervisor's behavior toward plaintiff was obnoxious and rude; the harassment was verbal and involved some forms of intimidation but did not involve anything of a sexual nature nor did it involve any physical contact with plaintiff," wrote Appeals Court Judge Donna Stroud in Tuesday's ruling. She was citing the background of the case as related to the appeals court.
In her complaint, Shaw also alleged that she and two other black women with college degrees were passed over for a management promotion, while a white man with only a high school diploma was given the job. She said that they were told a degree and management experience were job requirements.
Documents say Shaw complained to the company about Swain, but nothing was done. She filed a complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in June 2009 and was fired in August 2009.
She sued the company in Cumberland County Superior Court. In April 2011, a jury ruled that Goodyear did not discriminate against her based on her race or sex. But the jury found the plant did retaliate against her for making the complaints, and that she suffered from emotional distress because of Goodyear's negligence.
The jury awarded her $450,000.
In the appeals ruling, Stroud and two other judges determined that under state law, the case should have been handled by the N.C. Industrial Commission instead of Cumberland County Superior Court. The Appeals Court vacated the judgment and award.
Shaw is disappointed but will continue to press her case, said Harold Kennedy III of Winston-Salem, one of her lawyers. She will attempt to take her case to the state Supreme Court and persuade it to reverse the Court of Appeals decision, he said.
A Goodyear spokesman could not be reached for comment.
In the arm-crushing case, Craig Murphy's left arm was crushed and burned when a platform he was standing on collapsed.
When Murphy fell, his arm got stuck in a machine that pulled it between rollers. He was trapped for 30 minutes.
Murphy has had more than two dozen surgeries and was left with minimal use of his arm, the record says.
This litigation is not about the arm injury, but about Murphy's back. He claimed that he suffered a back injury in the accident and was due additional compensation.
The N.C. Industrial Commission and the Court of Appeals found little evidence to prove a link between Murphy's complaints of back problems and the accident. His claim was denied.

Information on the current SBI officers (89 kB)
Historical list of SBI officers (68 kB)
Information on the election and membership of the bodies of the Convention and the Kyoto Protocol here
Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI)What is the SBI?The SBI is one of two permanent subsidiary bodies to the Convention established by the COP/CMP. It supports the work of the COP and the CMP through the assessment and review of the effective implementation of the Convention and its Kyoto Protocol. The SBI also advises the COP on budgetary and administrative matters. The SBI is currently shifting to a new and transitional phase towards monitoring, reviewing and verifying (MRV) functions and demonstrating progress in implementing the Bali Action Plan. This year, the SBI has the challenging task of managing the shift in focus towards the MRV issues with the launch of the international assessment and review (IAR) and international consultations and analysis (ICA) in 2014, and work on nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs). Last year, the SBI completed its work on the design of the registry and the secretariat has deployed a prototype version. The registry will be a platform to enhance cooperation among Parties toward the formulation and implementation of their NAMAs. In the lead-up and during the COP19/CMP9 in Warsaw, SBI issues, such as loss and damage, and finance to which the SBI will contribute, will be the focus of political attention. SBI 39 will be considering institutional arrangements for loss & damage, with a view to establishing such arrangements at COP 19. On adaptation, finance and technology transfer, the focus will be on finding the best way to manage relevant issues in the SBI agenda while making the best use of the increasing role of the specialized bodies and institutions that have been created in Cancun and Durban and operationalized in Doha (e.g. Adaptation Committee, Standing Committee on Finance, and the Technology Mechanism), to deal with the relevant issues. While the technical discussions under these traditional items are now being taken up under the constituted bodies, the SBI will have the responsibility of maintaining the political momentum and ensuring transparency on these matters.

Hi people I think I am just starting to develop an anxiety disorder. I am 16 years old and do not like things to stop my goals in life. Within the last year I have been feeling worried about things that have happenend in the past. It wasn't that bad at first, and I didnt notice it getting worse over time so I just keep ignoring it like most of you probably did in the begining. Later on I started to notice that it was getting worse after I smoked marajuana. I would get worse during the weeks after I smoked. I told myself I would never do it again, but being a kid and not knowing that something like this could happen to me, I smoked one last time. Now my anxiety is becoming way worse and has actually kept me up during the night. I have been researching what is wrong with me and have not told anyone at all that something is wrong with me yet. What I havent mentioned is that my father too suffers from anxiety and depression. I never thought it would happen to me since I always felt like a normal kid until now. I do not live with my mom and I should probably seek help soon but I dont want my dad to know. My question is, will telling my dad that I have anxiety too make him feel worse. Im worried he will feel its his fault and get more depressed about the situation. I think I read somewhere that it can be passed down to kids so that is what im thinking has happened to me.
I know in my head that what im going through isnt actually real im just imanging it which works very well and is what I do for now when I feel bad.
This is very hard for me I need some outside help besides my own personal thoughts! Thanks for your time and good luck to you as well.

Jagex appoints Jon Hare as head of publishing
Jagex Games Studio announced today that Jon Hare has joined the company as Head of Publishing, with a particular focus on further developing FunOrb.com, Jagex's gaming website targeted at time-pressed gamers.
"Jon is one of the most highly rated game designers in Europe and has had a hugely successful career developing classic titles such as Sensible Soccer, Mega-Lo-Mania and Cannon Fodder," said Mark Gerhard, Jagex CEO.
"Jon will be playing a very hands-on role, actively engaged in developing and optimizing all of our games. Jagex has always focused on creating games that we want to play, FunOrb is no different. We have specifically created FunOrb for the time-pressured gamer, people who want a high quality deep gaming experience but only have 30 minutes a day or perhaps even a week to relax and enjoy playing.
"The site isn't for kids or for mums; it is designed for adult gamers who ask themselves 'why don't they make great games like they used to?'."
Hare has developed more than 30 games on over 20 formats from Sinclair Spectrum to the Nintendo Wii, and was named one of the top 10 Britons who changed the games industry by The Times.

Utah governor vetoes Thompson's retail Bill
Utah Governor Jon Huntsman has vetoed a Bill (HB 353) put forward by Jack Thompson which would have seen harsher fines to retailers that allowed under-age kids to buy adult rated games.
Here's why:
After careful consideration and study, I have decided to veto HB 353, TRUTH IN ADVERTISING ACT AMENDMENTS, and have transmitted it to the Lieutenant Governor for filing.
While protecting children from inappropriate materials is a laudable goal, the language of this bill is so broad that it likely will be struck down by the courts as an unconstitutional violation of the Dormant Commerce Clause and/or the First Amendment.
The industries most affected by this new requirement indicated that rather than risk being held liable under this bill, they would likely choose to no longer issue age appropriate labels on goods and services. Therefore, the unintended consequence of the bill would be that parents and children would have no labels to guide them in determining the age appropriateness of the goods or service, thereby increasing children's potential exposure to something they or their parents would have otherwise determined was inappropriate under the voluntary labeling system now being recognized and embraced by a significant majority of vendors.
Thanks, Kotaku.

It's over: Jack Thompson officially disbarred
30 days and zero appeals later, Jack Thompson's career in "law" is finally kaput.
The Florida Bar's website, after a quick search for the unsuccessful law-fighter, serves as official proof of the man's disbarment. A large, bold, "Not Eligible to practice in Florida" is now the most noticeable aspect of his profile. Neat.
Go check it out, if you feel like it. Make Thompson's defamed profile your desktop background or something.
Thanks, GamePolitics. You made our day.

Lowenstein: The press made Jack Thompson, covering him was a "cop out"
Ex-ESA boss Doug Lowenstein's written to Kotaku to claim that about-to-be-disbarred legal sensation Jack Thompson was partially a monster creation of the games media, accusing the specialist press of reporting on him despite the fact "he was a charlatan who wholly lacked credibility".
"The game press had a schizoid relationship with Thompson," said Lowenstein. "He was the person they loved to vilify and the person they could not get enough of. Time and again, the game press — and mainstream press — would ask ESA to engage with, or respond to Thompson's latest excess. The media knew well that he was a charlatan who wholly lacked credibility.
"But hey, they said, he was news and could not be ignored. That was a cop out. It gave Thompson a platform he might not have had for as long as he did."
Lowenstein went on to say Kotaku's coverage of Thompson gave legs to mainstream stories, branding Thompson an "extremist."
"As it takes delight in his apparent demise, it is a good time to contemplate whether the game media itself has matured," he said.
"You help set the tone for mainstream media coverage and if you validate extremists you give license to the less informed to follow your lead."

Jack Thompson to be disbarred in 30 days
Kotaku's reporting that Jack Thompson has finally, genuinely been disbarred. Or at least he will be 30 days from now.
A US court has approved a previous ruling made by Judge Dava Tunis that Thompson be permanently removed from the law professions, stating:
The Court approves the corrected referee's report and John Bruce Thompson is permanently disbarred, effective thirty days from the date of this order so that respondent can close out his practice and protect the interests of existing clients. If respondent notifies the Court in writing that he is no longer practicing and does not need the thirty days to protect existing clients, this Court will enter an order making the permanent disbarment effective immediately. Respondent shall accept no new business from the date this order is filed.
So long, Jack. He's already filed an emergency motion to try to stop all this happening, but, like, seriously. Dude. Go sit by the beach, or something.

Audio of Jack Thompson's Miami hearing posted
Daily Business Review's posted an audio file of Jack Thompson's Miami hearing last week, during which a judge recommended he be disbarred for 10 years.
It's shit quality, but you can make out what's going on. It's not the prettiest thing in the world.

Jack Thompson set to be disbarred for 10 years
A Florida court yesterday recommended that anti-game super-lawyer Jack Thompson be banned from practicing law for the next decade.
If upheld, the ruling will be Thompson won't be able to perform any legal function whatsoever for ten years.
Thompson stormed out of the hearing, claiming the judge involved had no right to hear his case.
Judge Dava Tunis' specific recommendations for sanctions will be included in her official report, to be due to the Florida Supreme Court by September 2.
There's a huge report on this on Kotaku, including a full, 4,500-word objection Thompson filed with the court.
"I am 'guilty' of being right and ahead of the curve when it came to Howard Stern and as to Grand Theft Auto. Because I took on Bar complainant, Al Cardenas, the Howard Stern Show is off terrestrial radio and his influence diminished," said the soon-to-be-not-lawyer.
"Because I took on this cop-killing, woman-bashing video game, the Presidential race is now addressing the issue and this particular video game. Try to get me disbarred. Go ahead, do your worst, Referee Tunis. I will continue to do my best."
Jack, for Christ's sake. Take the fucking hint.

Thompson stands up to help EA evict "Zelnick Trojan Horse"
Jack Thompson has offered his help to EA in securing a take-over of Take-Two, and in the process getting rid of Strauss Zelnick, the publisher head he blames pretty much everything in the world on.
"I am delighted to work with Electronic Arts to evict the Zelnick Trojan Horse from within Take-Two's corporate walls," he said in a letter sent to EA. "In doing so, I can get the new Take-Two into the clear as to the trouble I and others can send its way.
"Zelnick is the source of trouble headed Take-Two's way, not I, and EA can make the case, with my help, that such trouble can be avoided."
He doesn't mention how he can help EA buy Take-Two. The letter was CC'd to various media outlets. If you can help by engaging in a campaign of shameless self-promotion, Jack, we're sure EA will be interested. Great portrait, by the way.

Thompson threatens NIU with lawsuit
Jack Thompson has written to North Illinois University threatening a lawsuit if the institution doesn't hand over any documents related to killer Steven Kazmierczak's experience with videogames.
"Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request production of copies of all documents that reveal Steven Kazmierczak's play of violent video games, including but not limited to the use of his computer to play Counter-Strike, which he apparently, according to the New York Post, used to rehearse for his Valentine's Day Massacre at NIU," said Thompson in the letter faxed to the University today. "The killers in the two worst school massacres in history — in Erfurt, Germanay, and at Virginia Tech University—similarly trained on Counter-Strike to rehearse for their killing sprees. If I am not provided with this information, I shall bring a civil action to secure these documents."
The editor of GamePolitics.com got in touch with Thompson, asking him if had really sent the letter. Thompson replied:
"Of course I sent it to them, you idiot. The NIU investigators have already responded, professionally, and told me they will get me this information in due time. This is how you do this, which you wouldn't know."
Us? Stunned.

Thompson writes to NIU president on "mass murder simulation game, Counter-Strike"
Anti-games campaigner Jack Thompson has written to the president of North Illinois University – site of this week's shootings by former student Stephen Kazmierczak to again link the crime to "mass murder simulation game, Counter-Strike".
Following the shooting, Thompson appeared on Fox News to immediately associate the killings with gaming. Yesterday, the New York Post "revealed" that Kazmierczak used to play Counter-Strike while enrolled at the campus.
John B. Thompson, Attorney at Law

Coral Gables, Florida 33146February 16, 2008
John G. Peters, President
Northern Illinois University
1425 W. Lincoln Hwy.
DeKalb, IL 60115-2825 Via Fax to 815-753-8686Re: Part of the Explanation for this Awful Disaster
Dear President Peters:
First of all, my condolences for this terrible loss. I have had the disturbing privilege of representing a number of families devastated by these types of incidents. I represented all six parents of the three girls killed by a 14-year-old video gamer in the Paducah, Kentucky, school massacre. I currently represent the families of three policemen in Alabama who were slain by a teen who trained to kill them on the cop-killing simulation video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. This case was featured on 60 Minutes. See [here].
The day after the NIU tragedy this week, I was on the Fox News Channel predicting that the killer on your campus would be someone who was immersed in violent video games, as this is a common thread in almost all of these incidents. I mentioned in the interview the mass murder simulation game, Counter-Strike. It was the game of choice by the killers in the two worst school shootings in history—Virginia Tech and Erfurt, Germany.
Sure enough, the New York Post reports today the accuracy of that prediction. I attach herewith the Post article.
Governor Blagojevich was on Fox hours later echoing my specific concern about the linkage between violent video games and school killings.
I have addressed roughly 200 college campuses about this problem. I am more than willing to come to your campus, free of charge of course, to explain to the students and faculty and surrounding community why these games, played by students, pose a public safety hazard. Brain scan science recently coming out of Harvard explains it well. There are multiple reasons why these evil events happen. Immersion of young males in murder simulation as a form of entertainment is one of the more powerful reasons.
Jack Thompson
To be honest, Jack, it rankles that we have to give you air-time. Maybe you should be looking into the fact that any kid can buy a gun on a US street for about 50p instead of taking issue with creative entertainment.

Thomspon connects US shooting to games – video
This is pretty shocking. As you can see from the video below, US attorney Jack Thompson made more than a passing reference to games on Fox News yesterday in relation to the llinois University shooting this week.
The first thing Thompson said in the report, in response to a question about what can be drawn from the fact Stephen Kazmierczak was 27 years old and had already graduated from the university, was , "Well, we find from brain scan studies out of Harvard that if you get started, for example, playing violent videogames you can, ah, more likely to copycat the behaviours in the games. And the disturbing thing that keeps popping up in many of these, as in Virginia Tech, Columbian, [something else which we can't make out] where I represented the parents of the three girls shot and killed, is that you can rehearse these types of massacres on simulators which are called videogames, and can therefore be made more proficient in doing this."
We would say something. But we're speechless. Watch for yourself. So far there has been no evidence at all that Stephen Kazmierczak played videogames.

Thompson blames Illinois shooting on games
According to this, anti-games campaigner Jack Thompson appeared on Fox News this morning to blame yesterday's Illinois University shooting on games such as Counter-Strike.
As far as we're aware, no evidence has linked anything that happened during the shooting with gaming in any way.
Stephen Kazmierczak opened fire on a class at the university yesterday, killing five and injuring 15 before killing himself.

SOURCE International Association of Law Schools (IALS)
SINGAPORE, Sept. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In the largest assemblage of its kind in recent memory, more than 80 law school deans and chairs of law faculties from around the world met in Singapore on September 25th – 27th, 2013 at the Global Law Deans' Forum to adopt a set of principles of standards and outcomes for a legal education. These global principles grew from two years of regional law deans' workshops sponsored by the International Association of Law Schools (IALS) which gathered together law school leaders to explore the commonalities and standards to be applied worldwide to legal education.
The need to define these global principles was driven by the rapidly changing face of legal education in the midst of evolving domestic and international norms.
The principles developed will be the foundation upon which the association will continue its engagement with law scholars, judges, the professional community, and other stakeholders in establishing guidelines and suggested practices for a global legal education.
The president of the association, Prof. Francis SL Wang stated, "The principles will serve as the fundamental building blocks for further defining a globalized legal educational initiative which will honor our diversity while connecting all teachers of the law in a shared vision of nurturing the next generation of law graduates."
