MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - Fifteen years ago, if an armed intruder made it inside a school, local and state police agencies couldn't respond immediately.
"You'd get there and you'd wait on a SWAT team and you'd barricade and secure the area around it," says Albert Paxton of Louisiana State Police Troop F.
On April 20, 1999, local police forces waited outside Columbine High School, for more than half an hour for SWAT teams to arrive. Although standard protocol, that hesitation cost more students lives.
Trooper Paxton says after seeing the devastation at Columbine, police forces changed tactics. "Because of these active shooters, not just school shootings, but the same as the mall or the thing in Colorado, they move in to stop the situation as quickly as possible," says Paxton.
"No hesitation" is the new policy, and it's how forces is Newtown, Connecticut reacted to Friday's tragedy. Police across the nation will take a closer look at the incident, and learn from it.
"A situation like that you look at and try to decide what could be done different if something could be done better," says Paxton.
Louisiana State Police will be analyzing and adjusting their tactics as they see fit, but Paxton says tactical changes may help better the situation, but can't prevent it.

Raincoat Round-up
I've been on the lookout for a stylish raincoat for what feels like forever. A light, waterproof cover-up is a travel wardrobe essential, so why are they so hard to find? Well, it turns out that truly waterproof coats are pretty darned expensive to produce (they've got to have sealed seams and all that) which means that affordable options are often merely "water resistant". Still, they DO exist! I've tracked down a small but cool selection, some more heavy-duty than others, that won't make you feel like a hiker on the streets of Paris.
1. Petit Bateau – Womens Raincoat (Yellow)
2. American Apparel – Flannel-Lined Rain Parka
4. Petite Bateau – Womens Raincoat (Smoking)
5. Orla Kiely – Birdwatch Raincoat
6. Terra New York – Rain Cape (they seem to be having some website issues, so check back later)
Istanbul treasures
A friend recently asked if I had any recommendations for a European getaway in November. I immediately thought of Istanbul, which has remained a vivid memory ever since my first (and only) visit a few years ago. It's a beautiful city, with the sparkling harbour giving a sense of space that balances out the crowded streets and dense markets. Another nice thing about Istanbul is that even though it's a huge, modern city, it still has a very distinct cultural style – and as a result is a wonderful shopping destination.
Latitude is an online store that fuses travel and fashion, giving the shopper a carefully curated taste of some of the world's most iconic cities. Of course, Istanbul is represented, and since it may be a while til my next visit, perhaps a little long-distance shopping may be in order. Here are some favourite items.
The search continues
The ongoing search for a practical, good looking and discreet camera bag recently led me to this nifty number from the very smart folks at Think Tank. The Retrospective bag is specifically designed to blend in with the crowd and remain inconspicuous in any situation – perfect for travel. But just because it looks basic doesn't mean it isn't full of features. It can fit a DSLR with a couple of lenses or a Micro Four Thirds system (like the Olympus Pen pictured here) and has heaps of other space for bits and pieces. Think Tank are rapidly encroaching on the professional camera bag market too – keep an eye on them!
The search continues…
If you haven't already noticed, the search for the perfect camera bag is a slight preoccupation here at Skip Town. That elusive mix of style, practicality and discretion is something we're always keeping an eye out for. This Mt. Rainer Designs camera bag, spied over at Inventory, may not check all of the boxes (I want one that I can fit other, regular, stuff into while travelling) yet it's nineties-style charm is still working for me.
Passport Holders (Etsy round-up)
Hello! It's moving day for me and I'm as busy as can be (that rhyme was accidental, I assure you!) but here's a little something for those of you planning to travel further than a couple of suburbs. We all know Etsy is the place to go for hand-made treats, and indeed, there is a great selection of passport holders on offer.
My first instinct was to go straight for tried and true tan leather…
… but by gosh, then I saw the periodical table option. Not relevant to travel? Who cares! Now we can brush up on the elements while waiting to board. Smart thinking Owlsay.
But if that hasn't convinced you, here's some other great patterns.
*Etsy artists clockwise from top left: downstairsDesigns, moxieandoliver, and Owlsay and MyPaperGarden.
Any bag camera bag
Here is an idea that is so simply practical and obvious that I wonder why it didn't exist earlier. It's a protective bag for your camera gear that can be inserted into your regular bag. The kind folk at Photojojo put me onto it after I featured their Sloop bag in my camera bag round-up a little while back. Check it out here.
Ready to wear (everywhere)
Mention special 'travel clothing' to me and normally I'd be thinking practical quick-dry trousers and jackets that make you look like you're about to climb Mt Everest. But really, all that's needed for travel is something that is well made enough to last a while, doesn't get too wrinkly, and goes with a large percentage of whatever else you have packed. Oh, and preferably looks like 'you' rather than some person who got lost in the camping store pre-departure.
The Travellers range from Obus ticks all these boxes – some items are even reversible so that you can change the neck line style! What's more, they're designed and manufactured in the city I now call home – Melbourne.
Crumpled city maps
How about this for preempting the inevitable split map situation while visiting a new city? A pre-crumpled map – well I'll be darned!
A bag for all timezones
I did something silly a couple of years ago when I was traveling with my old digital SLR.
I'd been on the go for three months by this stage and had staunchly refused to use a camera bag, instead stashing my camera in my shoulder bag along with wallet, snacks and god knows what else. So anyway, on this day I'm in the cliff-top village of Oia on Santorini, waiting to watch the famously beautiful sunset, when my camera dies. Dead.
I know – I had it coming! But there were several reasons for my neglect, some of which were more sensible than others. Firstly, if you've got anything bigger than a compact camera, the usual cases are quite bulky which means you end up carrying two day bags instead of one. Secondly, they're very recognisable as camera bags and depending where you are it may not be a good idea to advertise the fact that you're carrying expensive gear. Thirdly, *shame* camera bags are usually so ugly!
I've since learned my lesson, but I still don't like big camera bags. I currently use an Olympus Pen which I carry in one of those snug leather cases, so I can still fit it in my shoulder bag. But if you're a digital SLR user and want to fit everything (camera gear plus personal stuff) into a stylish but protective bag while traveling, here are some ideas.
For the ladies;
Man I love these! Emera do classic designs, with quilted and canvas styles available.
If you like a bit more colour, check out the Epiphanie range featuring such styles as the 'Clover' below.
For everyone;
The Cloak camera bag suits those stealth shooters who don't want to miss a thing – it doesn't have a base which means you can shoot out the bottom! Okay, so you can't fit anything else inside, but it's still very cool.
The reliable folk at Photojojo have designed their own camera bag – the SLR Sloop.
But for something more utilitarian, try the Incognito camera bag from Courierware.
And for the record, I did get a few nice shots before the 'incident'. Here's one.

Question by Starfish 621 · Aug 17 '11 at 07:59 PM · metabolism carbohydrates healing
I have been overweight since childhood and struggled with a binge-eating disorder. My weight fluctuated a lot throughout my adolescence (I'm 22 now). I definitely would consider myself in the "metabolically deranged" category since I suffered all of this damage so early on. The low-carb paleo lifestyle was a godsend in helping me control my addiction and feel healthy again.
I have been eating strictly VLC paleo for a few months now (I dabbled with it in college, but didn't stick with it as well). My weight is now only about 5 lbs above where it needs to be in order to be considered healthy. However, if I eat more carbohydrates or fall off the paleo wagon, I instantly gain weight, and VERY QUICKLY.
So my question is this: Can I truly heal my metabolism? Will I ever be able to consume a higher level of paleo-friendly carbs without subsequent weight gain? Has anyone had success healing their insulin insensitivity? How long do you think it might take if I've been this way for over 15 years?
Thanks for your help!
P.S. I'm female, 5'9'', 175 lbs

Took me about 5 years to heal my metabolically deranged body, so I believe it can be done. Everyone will be unique and some will heal faster than others. The key is not to have some arbitrary timeframe in mind (ie I want to be healed in 4 months) just live the paleo lifestyle and the rest will follow naturally as one's own body dictates. We abused our bodies for decades to get so damaged and true healing can take years to accomplish, it's not a race. I was overweight, had digestive issues, was T2 diabetic, never pooped properly, had allergies, high blood pressure and a host of other issues, now my doctor calls me the picture of health and he is looking closely and utilizing paleo principles in his practice now.
Answer by luckybastard 12543 · Aug 17 '11 at 09:08 PM
I think it's possible. I had bad insulin resistance and couldn't look at rice or a potato. Now I eat both alot and often. I'm starting to think that using heavy resistance training to empty glycogen stores and then ramping up starch refeeds over a period of time is a great way to "teach" the body how to properly use glucose since it really needs it immediately after that kind of energy expenditure.
On a hypothalamic/leptin level, I really don't know how long it takes or the processes involved in reversing the glycation and oxidation of the receptors, though I'm sure healing needs to happen here just as much as the insulin resistance at the muscle cell level. Just eating paleo and keeping the toxins out will do this.
Answer by Beth-WeightMaven 15431 · Aug 17 '11 at 08:43 PM
I believe that it's possible, but I wouldn't begin to try and guess a timeframe. I think that what's important is to restore insulin sensitivity and to address the organs that support digestion & blood sugar handling, especially the gut and liver. Re the first, I think exercise is probably the most important -- not chronic cardio, but something that gets the causes your muscle cells to require glucose (e.g., HIIT or resistance training).
Re the second, the key is getting the right nutrients, healing the gut, and reducing stress/cortisol; I think Chris Kresser's 9 steps to perfect health is a great approach.
Answer by Dragonfly 32775 · Aug 17 '11 at 10:11 PM
I definitely believe it is possible.
I had hypoglycemia before going Primal. Now I can fast for up to 20 hours easily.
Here's a recent article that you may find interesting on the topic of metabolic impairment:
Answer by I'm_with_Raquel 1445 · Mar 05 '12 at 02:18 PM
You are probably short term healed in the sense that you've found a balance again in nutrients stored in your body and available for use. If you start hitting the high carb low nutrient pattern you will probably store fat very quickly though as you don't yet have a lot of reserves to take up the slack.
In a word - as long as you are eating right, you are healing it gradually, and how long this takes depends on many factors, such as your innate strengths and weaknesses and the extent of the decline from health you were previously at... as soon as you stop, you are reversing the work you have done, and a little bit of this is okay as long as it doesn't go beyond two steps forward, one step back. If it doesn't; if you maintain at least two steps forward, one step back, you are gradually making progress.
It probably doesn't help to look at people as either healthy or ill as the truth is we are only ever at one point along our own personal scale at any point in time. Better to continually reevaluate your position and work to create as much improvement as you can without destroying your quality of life through stressing over it too much.
Make positive changes, stick to them as much as possible, use your own judgement to evaluate your position and be happy knowing you're constantly learning and growing.

Ashley Judd - 1983
The 15-year-old was a classic preppy: "I worshiped at the altar of Izod. It was 'Give me the alligator or watch me suffer.'" She has joked that her youthful style was a reaction to the "suede-and-sequins show-business glamour" worn by her mother and sister, country singers Naomi and Wynonna Judd.

Found December 09, 2012 on
It's Always Sunny in Detroit:
You know how people will break up sentences into one word sentences for emphasis? For instance – worst. Free. Throw. Ever. This foul shot by Appalachian State junior center Kevin Okam deserves paragraphs of one-word sentences emphasizing how awesome/pathetic/hilarious this free throw is.
It happened Saturday during App State's game against Western Carolina.
This. Is. The. Worst. Foul. Shot. You. Will. Ever. See. Ok, that was a little excessive, sorry.
Okam is seven feet tall and I'll bet that shot didn't even go seven feet toward the rim (the free throw line is 15 feet away).

Where is Va landing?
I'm heading out this weekend with some family to virginia landing, this will be my first time. Hoping to try some fishing in the area ? My wife's family has a boat down there but their not really into fishing. What's the fishing like in the area ? What kind of tackle should I consider bringing ? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I primarily fishing in the mid to upper chesapeake.
Where is Va landing?
It's in Qinby VA, the camping area is called Virginia Landing. I saw on the map that Hog Island Bay is right there.
I am not at all familiar with that area, but from looking at it on the aerial maps, it looks VERY fishy......I would bring an assortment of bottom rigs, sinkers and hooks, as well as a couple of floats....the puppy drum and maybe some bigger ones should be up in the back waters and bay area of Hog Island Bay......and I am sure the croaker and maybe even a few spot are there by now.......and.....FLOUNDER should DEFINITELY be on your target list....get with a local bait shop when you get out there......Eastern Shore Outfitters is in Exmore.....Chris Bait and Tackle is better , but about a 40 minute drive back south....good luck and tight lines!
thanks for the info, I just got done putting together a variety of stuff.

A pollen count gives you the average number of pollen grains per cubic meter of air. See our pollen counting page for details on the calculations used to determine that number. Generally, when there are low amounts of pollen in the air, only those extremely sensitive to pollen or molds will experience allergic symptoms. A moderate amount of pollen will cause many people who are sensitive to pollen or molds to experience symptoms. High amounts will cause most sensitive individuals to experience symptoms and very high amounts will cause virtually all sensitive individuals to experience symptoms.
The purpose of the pollen graph is to quickly inform the reader of the day's pollen/spore conditions. The pollen graph also provides the reader with a reference point so the count can be interpreted. In each daily count the average grains/spores per meter3 of each category of pollen/spores (trees, grasses, weeds and molds) will be calculated. The calculated numbers will be compared against the chart below and graphed accordingly.
The chart was adapted from an article in The Pollen Monitor by David A. Frenz. Frenz's chart was derived from pollen and mold counts in 51 cities in the United States by Burge (1992). Frenz arranged the count data for each pollen/spore class in descending order and divided the data into four classes (low, medium, high and very high) according to the percentile.
Range | Low | Medium | High | Very High |
Percentile | (<50th) | (50th-75th) | (75th-99th) | (>99th) |
Trees | <15 | 15-91 | 91-1500 | >1500 |
Grasses | <10 | 10-50 | 51-500 | >500 |
Weeds | <10 | 10-50 | 51-500 | >500 |
Molds | <900 | 900-2500 | 2501-25000 | >25000 |

During an average lifetime, the human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times. Circulating blood through the body's network of more than 60,000 miles of vessels, the heart will pump roughly one million barrels of blood over the course of an average lifetime.
Be good to your heart and celebrate "One World, One Home, One Heart" this September 29 by taking responsibility for your own heart health, and spreading the message to others. Created by the World Heart Federation, World Heart Day aims to raise awareness for global heart health. Heart disease and strokes are the leading cause of death around the world. At least 80% of premature deaths from these diseases are avoidable if the main risk factors are controlled.
Heart 1: Transplant helps students understand the workings and anatomy of the heart and learn about new medical techniques that help people live longer, healthier lives. Heart 2: Changing Lifestyles and Heart Health examines and evaluates changes in diet and lifestyle from prehistoric to modern times and how these differences have spurred the development (and better treatment) of heart disease. Wake-Up Call uses a case study to teach about the risk factors and symptoms of a heart attack and the physiological changes that happen once artery blockage occurs.
Obesity: The Science Inside explores health problems associated with being overweight, including risks to the heart. The tool High Blood Pressure: The Science Inside, helps students understand how high blood pressure is a leading risk factor for heart disease and strokes. Hear how a heartless worm may help scientists figure out why some potentially useful drugs cause a mysterious and deadly heart reaction in Hearts and Worms. The Science Update Gum and Heart Disease investigates the connection between gum disease and heart disease.

text: Hi everyone: If you use the Courter Lane entrance to the park, you have probably noticed the new swing-arm gate that was installed this past week, at the point where Hilltop Drive crosses the western route (Hilltop Drive is the street currently dead-ends with a culvert). We've been having an issue with a landscaper dumping his yard waste (branches, leaves, grass clippings, trash) inside the park, so we had to eliminate his access in order to stop the dumping. The Parks Dept. will be removing the piles of dumped waste shortly, as well as locking the padlock on the gate. Hikers and cyclists can easily step around the left-hand side of the gate to enter the park, so the gate should not impede your access. Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions?

The Kaenon Women's Georgia Polarized Sunglasses sport a retro-inspired frame that complements Kaenon's performance-fit and superior optics.

Love love love these sunglasses! I have tried more sunglass styles, brands, etc than I could ever count (Oakley, Smith...) and this is literally the first pair that fits me. I always have issues with the temple length and either the glasses sit on my ears and then don't rest flush on my nose or the other way around. So just finding a pair that fits was a great feat, but these Kaenon's are amazing in every other way! The other reviewers have all raved about the optics and I couldn't agree more. They are unlike anything I have worn before. My eyes are very sensitive to sunlight so I needed a pair I could wear on those overcast or snowy but bright days and these are perfect. The don't make everything dark, they just cut the glare (guess that's what polarized glasses are supposed to do!). And on top of everything else, they are stylish too, an added bonus. Tried a couple other styles but they were all way to large. These are perfect, slightly oversized, wraparound. Never thought I would spend so much on sunglasses but these are worth every penny!
I've been asked before what the piece of gear is that I simply would NOT be able to live without, it's my Kaenon's. I own four pair. You've never seen your world this crisp and clear, and you've probably never looked as cool or been as comfortable as you will be in Kaenon's. The Georgia is a full frame, but not sight limiting like some wrap arounds. Yes, they are stylish, but the most functional pair of shades I've ever owned. I was introduced to Kaenon's in the sailing world, they are amazing at reducing glare on the water and for anyone who spends time in the white fluffy stuff, they are superb for you too! They fit well with my helmet, skiing or biking, and despite how hard I try to scratch them...failure. There isn't a scratch on my Georgia's yet and they are almost a year old. Go ahead, check out the world through a Kaenon lens - you won't be sorry you did!
These are amazing. Never thought I'd pay ~$200 on sunglasses, but I guess that's around the same price for a good pair of glasses (for those of us who are near-sighted). These things made my Oakleys look like child's play, for two reasons. (1) While my Oakleys (non-polarized) just made things look darker/gray-er, these Kaenons (gray lens) made things look darker yet somehow still bright. It's odd how the Kaenon gray lens still looked copper-ish compared to the Oakley gray lenses. The Kaenon therefore had better contrast. (2) As everybody else said, Kaenons have superior lens clarity. After I got used to my Kaenon, looking through my Oakley felt like looking out of a dirty windshield. Had to give up my Oakley shades, now just wear Kaenon Georgia. As for look, it's really personal preference. The Georgia is larger (lenses and temple width) than the Porter and it has a lot of attitude.

I am behind the wheel all day in my sales job. Usually I am all about fashion---- sporting my Tom Ford's. I was looking for some polarized sunglasses that would wrap around my face when I am behind the wheel so afternoon sun would not filter in like it does when I wear my Tom Fords. I thought it was impossible to find function and fashion in one pair of glasses. I no longer feel this way since ordering my Georgia's. They are very face flattering and fashionable, but also are very comfortable and keep the sun off your face! Only wish was that the green pair I ordered was a bit more green...looks more like dark gray when worn on the face.
These lenses are great! No squinting through your sunnies in these--they really cover and cut the glare. I have a narrow face and it's always hard to find a pair of sunnies that won't slip or look too big, but these are perfect - almost tight. So,definitely avoid if you have a larger face. Only complaint is that the lenses get smudged really easily, much more so than my Spy's or Smith's.
Recently on steepandcheap as a total steal. Had to get another pair (white), which wrap around so nicely, I actually wear them riding. Alywas get compliments whenever wearing the white or the tobacco olive.
Kaenon lenses are the BEST LENSES available!!!
If you have ever worn glass lenses you know what good optics should LOOK like, but if you are used to wearing polycarbonate (what Smith, Oakley, Maui and others use) then you have NO idea how good it really can be!!! These lenses blow the competition away and you will never want to wear anything else! And the Georgia style... AMAZING FIT. I love these glasses and could not live with out them!
I mean, these are serious sunglasses. I have been wearing Oakley for the past ten years and was happy. I am a watersports woman and need some good quality lenses. So imaginary my surprise putting these on, the polarized lenses are just SO much more superior to Oakley glasses. I will never wear anything else. I bought the green frame and they look stylish too. Thumbs up for those!

Since then, she has had numerous 1st place finishes at competitions across the globe and also set the Womens World Waterfall Record at 82 ft. in Metlako Falls, Oregon.
Christie Glissmeyer wears Eden, Calais, Georgia and Basis.
Until the hardcoating went bad, I literally "bought" into the hype that the lenses were great etc... They are simply hard resin, not the best material, and I didn't appreciate having to pay the freight to have them replaced. I realized the Georgia frame is one of Kaenon's cheapest to make and I don't see how other comparable brands cost $100 less and hold up better. This is my second and last pair.

Le Gribraltor - Pedestrian zone
5 Responses to "Le Gribraltor - Pedestrian zone"
we really enjoyed our stay in Nice. The appartment was very spacious and the bedrooms were nice and quiet at night time because they are situated at the back of the appartment.
the central location of the appartment meant that we were literally 100 metres from beach and right beside shops and restaurants. in essence it is in the middle of hive of activity which really suited us.
Great apartment with all facilities that one can think of. Very close to beach. Walking distance to old town and train station. Fantastic balcony as an extension to the large living room with view over rue de France with much people strolling by. We really enjoyed this apartment.
My family had a comfortable stay at the Gibraltar - the apartment is very spacious and offers most of the facilities you need. The furniture is relatively old and some things were not functioning perfectly (TV, lights, shower), but by and large, we had everything we needed and the staff at Go Nice was very nice and helpful. The terrace is good for having a glass of wine or a quick meal, while watching people passing by Rue de France and without getting sun-burnt! The welcome package was very nice and thoughtful as well, the building was quiet and the neighbors were particularly nice, so overall - we recomment the place.
i had one dreaming week in Nice.
I want to say that first 2 days we were staying in a hotel and we were very desipointed.
But when we moved in this apartment, at the Gibraltar, everything was changed. our holiday started to be like a holiday, even more.
the accomodation its more then you can expect, you have there ALL you need, and whe i say all , belive … it is all … wash machine, tv, electronics for bath, for kitchen, anything you can emagine.
my friend and i had a realy great time in Nice and one of the reasons it was Gibratltar.
we enjoyed very much this apartment and in the future we will aply for him again, and i recomand Gibraltar with all my heart,.

As the European Stability Mechanism debate gets promoted to the top slot in today's papers, there's a new theme for September's national elections - Europe and the euro. If the financial crisis wasn't enough for any EU country to deal with, the Netherlands is confronted with the ghosts and the cruelty of its colonial past. And even more cruelty from the past – nuns as pioneers of waterboarding. Is Robben's Champions League penalty blunder a godsend for Holland?
Colonial bloodbath to end in claims
"A boy is walking behind a plough in a rice field. The plough has an engine – a kind of tractor on two wheels. It's hard work, but the 14-year-old youth manages it effortlessly. Here in Bulukumba he's considered old enough to man the plough and, indeed, for other things in life."
De Volkskrant sets a scene of serenity, like a script from a travel book. Until the pay-off comes: "The boy in the paddy field would also have been old enough to take a bullet from the Dutch military troops who carried out a 'cleansing action' here in 1947."
The odds were high he would have died by a Dutch bullet, the paper tells us. A special commando unit went on a killing rampage, executing 214 boys and men older than eight years in Bulukumba, the rice field town at the beginning of the narrative. The special forces then moved on to other villages and towns on the island now called Sulawesi, ending with the blood of thousands on their hands.
Families of ten of the victims have decided to file compensation claims following the success of widows in Rawagede, another infamous bloodbath incident. Lawyer Liesbeth Zegveld feels confident about a successful outcome - that the boys and men were executed without any form of trial is a fact. In the Rawagede case, the judge ruled it was not subject to the statutes of limitations because "a case cannot be considered too old if you murder people and consequently, in full knowledge, allow the murders to go unpunished."
Zegveld has approached Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal about the case, who has until 31 May to make a decision. "The foreign ministry does not wish to respond before that date."
Schism between politicians and voters on euro
Yesterday's press review reported on the Christian Union party's decision to vote against ratification of the European Stability Mechanism. The party couldn't have it on its conscience doling out 40 billion euros of taxpayers' money to Brussels – the annual budget for education and public safety combined.
This morning's papers have devoted front or double-page splashes to yesterday evening's debate on the issue in parliament. Geert Wilders tried to push back the debate until after the general elections scheduled in September, but that motion was rejected.
Not only financial markets but also the people of the EU "have little confidence in the battle against the euro crisis," write nrc.next. Endorsement of the ESM will see delays in at least four countries – the Netherlands, Estonia, Germany and Ireland. Nrc.next does an in-depth analysis of the consequences of the permanent bailout fund, identifying one major drawback. Only Germany, France and Italy have the power to decide when a country can dip into the fund, but the Netherlands or other smaller countries don't.
"If Europe is to be the theme of the elections, then the campaign kicked off yesterday evening," writes de Volkskrant. A majority of MPs are in favour of ratifying the accord right now, but an opinion poll among voters show a dissenting voice, the paper says. Two of out three people want to delay the decision until after the September elections.
Wilders has sought an injunction against the state to block ratification. "Even if Upper House also votes in favour of the ESM treaty and the judge laughs his head off because Wilders is at the wrong address with his injunction, the Freedom Party leader is keeping to his promise when he brought about the fall of the Rutte cabinet. His election campaign will revolve around Europe," concludes de Volkskrant.
Hail Mary, full of hate
Wim Deetman who led an inquiry into abuse at Catholic homes for boys is starting a second inquiry, reports Trouw. "This investigation will focus on the suffering of women who were abused as girls. The inquiry will not only cover sexual abuse, like the first inquiry, but also physical and psychological cruelty."
"Especially women who were forced to enter institutions after the war because they had a child out of wedlock, sometimes following a rape, got a special kind of 're-education'. These girls were discarded as whores."
De Telegraaf did its investigative homework and found some of the victims. One of them is a 65-year-old woman who was in an orphanage between 1950 and 1957.
"If you told a fib or misbehaved, you were grabbed by your feet, held upside down and then your head was pushed into a bucket of cold water – five buckets in a row. If you knocked over one bucket, then you went on to the next one until you stopped putting up a fight. I often went through the five."
One memory haunts the woman. "One disobedient girl was put into a bath filled with cold water to cool off on her own. Suddenly, we all saw water flowing under the door. She had drowned."
Another victim contacted Deetman to highlight the plight of female victims of the Catholic church. She was subjected to various degrees of torture – soap was shoved into her [vagina], she was locked up in a mouse-infested basement and hit with an iron ruler. She was never able to develop a sexual relationship afterwards. "Their celibacy became my celibacy."'
Hope for autism sufferers
For those suffering with autism, there is scientific hope. Medical experts at the Utrecht and Radboud university hospitals are optimistic that autism will be treatable in the future, thanks to a 30-million-euro grant which will facilitate the necessary research, reports AD.
"It's difficult to cure autism," says a molecular neuroscientist, "because there are usually genetic factors involved. But you can limit the effects enormously, which make the difference between being institutionalised and being able to live independently."
The Dutch university hospitals are working together with 20 other European universities and six pharmaceutical companies. Patients will have to wait for about ten years before the much-awaiting medicine appears on the market.
Robben booed by Bayern fans
Poor Arjen Robben. First, the devastation after he missed a crucial penalty in the Champions League final between Bayern Munich and Chelsea. Now, the humiliation of boos and jeers from fans of Bayern when he came on as a substitute for Holland in a friendly against his own club on Tuesday evening.
"Each time he touched the ball the stadium was filled with whistles. The old guard from Bayern defended him while the rest booed," writes De Telegraaf. The paper hopes his pain will be softened before the European Championship, when Robben plays for the Holland squad.
"The penalty blunder is a godsend for Holland," writes AD. "They [the Germans] have to get over the anguish of defeat, not us. We'll see what happens on 13 June." Holland play Germany in the group stage then – both are in Group B, dubbed the "group of death".
There was much anguish and suffering in today's papers. But summer has arrived and there are also photos of bikinis and jumping the waves.

Twin saved her sister's life in the womb after mother was told losing both babies was 'inevitable'
At 20 weeks pregnant with twins, Andrea Goodrich was given the heartbreaking news that losing both babies seemed inevitable.
Yesterday, however, she was cradling two healthy daughters after one saved the other's life before they were born.
Scans had revealed that one of the girls, Kiki, had a heart problem and fluid was leaking from the placenta.
'Guardian angel': Nico, on the right, acted as plug inside the womb, preventing a miscarriage and saving her sister Kiki's life
But miraculously her sister Nico positioned herself so low in the womb that she acted as a plug, preventing a miscarriage or an infection.
'We truly believe she acted as her sister's guardian angel,' said Mrs Goodrich, 39, from Camberley, Surrey.
'I feel the luckiest mum alive. To all intents and purposes after what happened the twins shouldn't be here.
'But remarkably it was as if Nico sensed something was wrong. What she did saved Kiki's life.'
Mrs Goodrich and her husband Paul, 46, a company director, already have a four-year-old son, Luca, and daughter, India, two.
The drama began when Mrs Goodrich went for a routine 20-week scan and doctors noticed a strange halo around Kiki's heart.
'I was referred to a London hospital for further tests but within two days I'd started bleeding and doctors told us the placenta had ruptured,' she said.
Relief: Parents Andrea and Paul Goodrich had been told the babies had no chance of survival
Worse was to come when tests also confirmed a tear in the amniotic sac, which meant the waters were leaking.
Doctors explained that at just 20 weeks, the babies had no chance of survival if they were born.
All medical staff could do was admit her to hospital and wait for what they believed was the inevitable miscarriage.
'Paul and I prepared ourselves for the worst,' said Mrs Goodrich.
'But doctors were amazed when they did a scan to find Nico, who was healthy with an intact placenta, was lying underneath Kiki.
'Amazingly, Nico stayed in that position. And it was a huge relief when we got to the 24-week milestone.
We knew every day that they stayed inside the womb meant their chance of survival was greatly increased.'
At 30 weeks, Mrs Goodrich went into labour and had an emergency caesarean. Nico was born first weighing 3lb 6oz, followed five minutes later by 3lb 1oz Kiki.
'Although they seemed tiny to me, doctors said they were both very good weights – all down to the fact Nico had managed to keep them inside for ten whole weeks,' said Mrs Goodrich.
'Both girls went into special care but thankfully Nico was only in for six weeks and Kiki for three months.'
Tests have since revealed Kiki's heart is fine. 'Doctors don't know what it was they saw on the scan,' her mother explained.
'But her heart has since developed perfectly normally.' The couple say they have noticed the non-identical twins, now aged seven months, are particularly close.
'They like to be able to always see one another and already make each other laugh,' said Mrs Goodrich.
'And when they get older, we will tell both of them the reason they have such a special bond isn't only because they shared a womb but because before they were even born, Nico saved Kiki's life.'

Almost a year after World War II ended, Congress established the United States Atomic Energy Commission to foster and control the peace time development of atomic science and technology. President Harry S. Truman signed the Atomic Energy Act on August 1, 1946, transferring the control of atomic energy from military to civilian hands. This action reflected America's postwar optimism, with Congress declaring that atomic energy should be employed not only in the Nation's defense, but also to promote world peace, improve the public welfare and strengthen free competition in private enterprise. The signing was the culmination of long months of intensive debate among politicians, military planners and atomic scientists over the fate of this new energy source.
Congress gave the new civilian Commission extraordinary power and independence to carry out its awesome mission. To provide the Commission exceptional freedom in hiring scientists and professionals, Commission employees were exempt from the Civil Service system. Because of the need for great security, all production facilities and nuclear reactors would be government-owned, while all technical information and research results would be under Commission control. The National Laboratory system was established from the facilities created under the Manhattan Project, and Argonne National Laboratory was one of the first laboratories authorized under this legislation as a contractor-operated facility dedicated to fulfilling the new Commission's mission.
Chicago Office (Chicago Operations Office) is Established
On January 1, 1947, the fledgling Atomic Energy Commission took over the massive atomic energy complex from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Manhattan District. As part of this reorganization, the Chicago Office (then called the Chicago Operations Office) was established as one of the new AEC's first field offices. From 1947 until 1949, the first Chicago Operations Office was located in the former Army Corps offices at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. In 1949, the office moved to new laboratory facilities being built southwest of Chicago near Lemont, Illinois, as the new home of Argonne National Laboratory.
For the next three decades, AEC's Chicago Operations Office supported and participated in research, development and demonstration programs leading to commercial development of nuclear power, naval nuclear propulsion and other nuclear technology applications. This involved research and development leading to the major power reactor technologies in use in the nation today. As part of this effort, Chicago Operations directed the design and construction of several small power demonstration reactors throughout the Midwest, part of the AEC Power Reactor Demonstration Program. Chicago Operations continued to be responsible for a large share of the AEC's contracts and grants with universities and other educational institutions, industry and state and local governments.
AEC's Chicago Operations Office grew during this period, taking on responsibility for AEC's research facilities in the Northeast, including Brookhaven National Laboratory, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, Environmental Measurements Laboratory and New Brunswick Laboratory. Chicago also took on responsibility for a large number of additional research contracts and grants for east coast institutions.

Since the close classified briefings on Capitol Hill two weeks ago lawmakers have stressed that ambassador Susan Rice had -- to both the unclassified intelligence on -- -- -- attack including the controversial CIA talking points.

MukMuk-D tagged along and we headed to the outlets first. The four of us finished all our shopping in less than one and a half hours!!! The mall was so dead!!! Since it was still early, we all decided to drive to Pike Place for some chowder...mmm...clam chowder!!!
At first, MomM only wanted to share a large bowl of New England Clam Chowder (top left) with me...but after she tried it...she hogged it!!! Lucky me, just for fun...I made Buddha Boy bought me one in a Sourdough Bread Bowl (top right). Buddha Boy had a Seafood Bisque (bottom left) and shared a Curried Chicken Roll (bottom right) with MukMuk-D (who also had a large bowl of clam chowder). The sandwich was nothing spectacular. The grilled chicken was a bit dry and the bread was too dense. Not something we'd order again.
Yup, the crazy Buddha Girl visited her favorite chicken store at the market again!!! I couldn't help it! I love eating Deep-Fried Chicken Hearts!!!
I also picked up a couple of those Spicy Hot Chicken Sticks to share while we munched down the chowders...yum!!!
We've read a lot of good things about The Crumpet Shop, we decided to stop by for a quick dessert. It was only steps away from Pike Place Chowder.
A crumpet looked pretty much like an English muffin, just not done crispy. To start, we ordered the most basic, Crumpet with Butter, with honey. The crumpet was quite soft, light and very simple tasting. It was good, but I probably would have liked it more if the bottom was crispy.
Just for fun, we also tried a Crumpet with Walnuts, Honey, Ricotta Cheese. This was good, but I still would have preferred some contrasting crispness.MEE SUM PASTRY 美心餅家
Previously, someone suggested that we should really try the Hom Bow. I really wasn't expecting much, after all, Vancouver is quite well-known for Chinese food in North America, the standards are set pretty high.
At first glance, the buns was quite large, however, something looked off. The bun had no glisten of the sweet egg wash and it did not have that tad stickiness on top. Biting into the bun, I was shocked with how light and airy the dough was, however, it lacked that small hint of sweetness.
Now, the BBQ pork filling, well, after two bites, I ended up tossing the whole bun. While ample in stuffing, it was so salty that I was willing to give up the meat. In comparison with the buns in Vancouver, this was comparable with the bottom tier. Most dim sum places offer acceptable BBQ buns. One of my go-to bakery is Michele Cake Shop 君悅餅廊.
Guess what? I saw Michael Jordan!!! Yes...Michael Jordan...in a lingerie store...at the Seattle Premium Outlets!!!
Yup, Buddha Girl the idiot. :p Hahahaha! Ok...why would Michael Jordan be the "face" of ladies socks & underwear?!?!? Hey, according to the banner...you get the fourth pack free with a purchase of any three packs!!! LOL!!!
And to our beloved KimHo of I'm Only Here for the Food...
