|Has the ANC Finally Met Its Match?Wednesday, 19 November 2014
Has the ANC finally met its match? At SA - the Good News our primary mission is to enable a balanced narrative, "celebrate the good and confront the bad" is our mantra. That is sometimes a difficult task, not because there is a preponderance of 'bad news', but because change happens quickly in SA. Just this morning (17 Nov) Minister Dr. Bonginkosi Emmanuel 'Blade' Nzimande lashed out at the South African Editors Forum labelling them trouble makers and calling for an 'Insult Protection Law'. At the Kimberly EFF Elective Congress there were intra-party stabbings as rival groups squared up. Last week's parliamentary disruptions are described by...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Health officials say the worst of the flu season appears to be over.
The number of states reporting intense or widespread flu dropped again last week. By some measures, flu activity has been ebbing for at least four weeks. Deaths from the flu or pneumonia have been dropping for two weeks.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the latest flu numbers on Friday.
This flu season started about a month earlier than normal. Outbreaks began in the late fall, and the dominant flu strain is one that tends to make people sicker.
It's been nine years since a flu season started like this one, and that proved to be one of the deadliest. So far, this season has been labeled moderately severe.

Cattlemen's Day focuses on producers' challenges
This year, cattle producers will be faced with some tough decisions. The severe drought of 2012 has depleted pastures and feed inventories. The beef industry is ever changing, and drought management will be key in 2013.
The Cattlemen's Day on Feb. 15 at the Gudmundsen Sandhills Lab near Whitman will focus on the tough questions. Grazing during and after a drought, nutritional considerations of cows in a drought, challenges and opportunities of the beef industry, results of May calving systems, and a producer panel dealing with high input costs will provide insight for another dry year.
Jerry Voleksy, UNL Extension range specialist, will start the morning with considerations for grazing and forage for another dry year, or if the drought breaks. "Carryover grass (from 2011) supported 'fair' stocking rates in 2012 for many regions," said Volesky, "but most pastures have utilized all available forage." Reduced stocking rates, delayed turnout, or no turnout are considerations for the upcoming year. Seeding on cropland with annual forages may also produce much needed forage, but "seeding date and rates are critical." Don't wait until turnout, stressed Volesky. Planning for multiple scenarios should be done this winter to optimize pasture health.
If you are contemplating a May calving system, Rick Funston, UNL Extension beef specialist, will cover an array of considerations. The need for winter supplementation and effect on cow pregnancy rates and subsequent progeny effects, rate of gain of calves over winter and effect in a short or long yearling system, all the way through slaughter. The effects of over winter gain on heifer pregnancy rates, and just this year, effect of supplementation during the breeding season on heifer and first calf heifer pregnancy rates will also be discussed.
John Paterson, as a cattleman, well-known beef specialist with Montana State, and now the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's director for producer education, knows beef. The beef business is constantly changing and Paterson will talk about challenges and opportunities he sees for beef producers.
High feed costs will continue to plague producers in 2013. Aaron Stalker, UNL Extension beef specialist, will talk about cow's nutritional needs and considerations a drought situation could produce.
A producer panel will conclude with their strategies for dealing with high input costs.
There will also be an industry trade show. Contact Rick Funston at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 308-696-6703 for a booth (cost $50). Please pre-register for the sponsored meal, by Feb. 6 to the Central Sandhills Extension Office (800-657-2113 or 308-645-2267) or Ellen (firstname.lastname@example.com) or 308-696-6701.
The Gudmundsen Sandhills Lab is located 3 miles north of Whitman, then 5 miles east. The Wagonhammer Building is the building to the east.

CFD: Hot fireplace ash starts brush fire
firefighters doused a brush fire on Tuesday in Westchester Township,
apparently started by a resident disposing of ash from his fireplace in a
wooded area behind his home.
Capt. Tony Coslet
told the Chesterton Tribune today that, at 8:44 p.m., the CFD was
dispatched to the 1500 block of Orchard Lane in the Wake Robin subdivision,
after the resident, using five-gallon buckets of water, was unable himself
to bring the fire under control.
Firefighters laid
400 feet of hose and used 1,500 gallons of water to extinguish the blaze,
which was confined to a gully approximately 40' x 12' in size. The gully,
however, was filled to a depth of three feet by leaves raked there last fall
by the resident. "Plenty of material to burn," Coslet said.
Those leaves had
ignited when the man dumped into the gully hot ash from his fireplace, in
the belief that the area was damp enough not to burn.
The CFD did not
cite the resident but Coslet did say that he gave the man "the business."
"The man said he
was glad we didn't ream him because his wife already had," Coslet added.

Vegetarian Stuffed Artichoke Bottoms Recipe. Fish and Meat Variations
Posted on 11th of May, 2011 by Lévana
Artichokes: A great Sephardi favorite, we grew up in Morocco eating them in every shape and form, even for dessert. Someone in the food industry, bless him, has done all the pesky job of snapping the leaves off the artichokes, and the even peskier job of scraping the fuzz off the artichoke bottoms, leaving us only with exactly what we want (perfect artichoke bottoms or baby artichoke hearts) in order to sail through the preparation of quite a few artichoke-based treats. There's nothing I don't do with them: Soups, tajines, Hummus, risottos, side dishes, salads, pickles, pastas, dips!
Frozen artichoke bottoms: How perfect is this?
Lean, nutrient-packed, different, and delicious. Did you know there was an artichoke liqueur called Cynar? Not for the fainthearted: Try it, it might grow on you!
You can stuff artichoke bottoms with virtually anything you like: Meat, fish, rice, vegetables, cheese, breadcrumbs (substitute ground meat or fish, or cooked rice, in equal parts, for the breadcrumbs, and proceed just as instructed): The latter is what I am choosing to go with in this recipe, just so I can let the artichoke be the main star.
¼ cup olive oil
1 large onion, quartered
4 large cloves garlic
2 ribs celery, peeled
1 bunch flat parsley
6-8 sprigs dill, fronds and stems
Juice and zest of 2 lemons
3 tablespoons capers
3 cups fresh bread crumbs, gluten-free OK
Salt and pepper to taste
14-16 large frozen artichoke bottoms, no need to thaw before using.
Cooking liquid:
2 cups water
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons turmeric
2 good pinches saffron
Heat the oil in large skillet. In a food processor, coarsely grind the onion, garlic, celery, parsley and dill, and add to the skillet. Sauté the mixture until translucent. Add all but last ingredients, and mix thoroughly, adding a few drops water if necessary to form a thick paste. Fill the artichokes with the mixture, using it all up. Bring the cooking liquid ingredients to boil, and place the bottoms stuffing side up in the skillet. Reduce the flame to medium, and cook covered 20 minutes. Transfer the artichokes to a platter, and look at the liquid left in the skillet: if it is too thin reduce to thicken, and pour over the artichokes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

If I fill the artichokes bottoms with chopped meat, should I bake them? How would the cooking method be different?

Compassion International is a Christian non-profit that provides for babies and mothers in poverty. Donations to charity are tax deductible.
Rescue Babies & Mothers
In the western part of Kenya there is a small village in the district of Kisumu called Lake Basin. Approximately 20,000 live in and around this village, of which more than a quarter are children under five.
Life is difficult in this poverty-stricken region. Women here become mothers for the first time at the average age of 18 and families have an average of five children. Thirty-five percent of the population is affected by HIV/AIDS and health problems like malaria, pneumonia, tuberculosis and waterborne diseases are common.
Farming is the most common occupation, but drug use, prostitution and illiteracy are rampant, as people struggle to cope with the reality of poverty.
I'd like to commit to supporting this child survival center:
$20 monthly
It is here that the PAG Buoye Child Survival Program is working to change the reality of poverty. The CSP provides families with life-changing benefits like:
When you choose to support the PAG Buoye CSP, you offer children a chance to survive and end the generational cycle of poverty. Mothers learn skills that will forever change life for them and their children. Most importantly, families have the opportunity to know the God who loves them deeply.
Lorna, at 69 years old, is raising her five grandchildren after losing nine family members. The youngest is an 18-month-old baby named Stacy, whose mother died of a stroke.
Lorna works in her garden and does occasional work for others, but struggles to support her grandchildren. While it is hard for Lorna raise such a young child, the support from the PAG Buoye CSP has made it possible.
The food, supplies and health care that Stacy receives at the CSP have been a tremendous encouragement to Lorna, as have the emotional support and encouragement she's found there.
I now have the strength to face different problems in my life after listening to different challenges mothers go through. I realize I am not alone in the problems and I will be able to overcome.
With Compassion, you can be assured that 80 percent of your charity donation goes directly to program recipients. Financial transparency is the basis for our national recognition.
Charity Navigator, the largest independent evaluator of charities in the country, has awarded Compassion its highest ranking for thirteen years in a row. The organization also ranked Compassion in the top one percent of charities.
Compassion is an accredited charity with the Better Business Bureau and a founding member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability. With this recognition, you can make your charitable donation with confidence as you touch lives worldwide.

A Final Predraft Visit … from ESPN's Sal PalPosted by on April 24, 2009 – 4:32 pm
The Atlantic Health Training Center in Florham Park, N.J., is not only a grand new home for the Jets players and organization, but as a side benefit, it is also a magnet for NFL television megastars.
We had the full parade of league broadcasting teams come in here for production meetings during the season, of course, but already this off-season the Jets have gotten a number of visits, from ESPN's Chris Mortensen to SNY's Greg Buttle.
And today Sal Paolantonio is setting up shop in one of the glass-walled conference rooms on the AHTC's second floor.
Sal Pal is one of the very best NFL TV reporters in the game, and he was gracious enough, in between recording spots and meeting with Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum, to sit with Eric Allen and myself for one more bonus show in this jam-packed week of "Jets Two-Minute Drive." (
But he is, after all, a product of Queens and Long Island before he moved down to Philadelphia newspapering and back northeast to Bristol, Conn., and ESPN. "Those were my teams growing up," he confided to me as we walked down to the spacious Jets Radio studio. "Jets and Mets."
EA's first question was about the new facility, and Sal didn't have to go far back in his memory to compare it to the Jets' previous home base. "This is spacious compared to Weeb Ewbank Hall back at Hofstra," he said.
My immediate thought was to ask Paolantonio about one of his most talked about early moments for the Worldwide Leader in Sports. Less than two years into his gig, he had the remote draft duty from Hofstra in 1997, reporting live from "the Weeb's" locker room before and after each Jets pick (while I and my fellow beatwriters were a few first downs away, sealed behind the green door in the old media room).
This, of course, was Bill Parcells' first draft as the Jets' football boss. Paolantonio remembered how the Jets traded the top pick of that draft twice to get down to No. 8 overall and take LB James Farrior. But when Parcells joined Sal Pal for that standup:
"All I could think about was Keyshawn Johnson's book, 'Just Give Me the Damn Ball!' We were even standing right in front of Keyshawn's locker. Bill always declined to talk about the book. We were on air and I asked him about it once and he said he didn't want to talk about it. I asked him again and he was a little more forceful about not talking about it.
"I asked him one more time about it and he rightly was upset. I didn't come back for day two."
Sal went on to report that he and Parcells have since reconciled and that the Tuna, now executive vice president of football operations for the Dolphins, was a valued resource for him as he wrote his book, "How Football Explains America" by Triumph Books, now in its fifth printing.
It is an excellent, well-argued idea book on where the game came from and where it's going, with many stops in between, such as alongside Joe Namath's lounge in Miami before Super Bowl III and for Parcells' short but telling stay at West Point on his way to the Giants, Jets and other teams.
As far as all the rumors about the Jets' interest in trading for Arizona WR Anquan Boldin or in acquiring another quarterback, Sal shared his intriguing thoughts about those topics with us and will again during his several-day stay here in my neck of the woods. I'll leave you to find his reporting on ESPN and his chat with EA and me on Jets Radio. His interview will be up on newyorkjets.com shortly.
Update, 10 p.m. — ESPN is reporting on its Bottom Line tonight that Tannenbaum told Sal Paolantonio that the Jets would like to trade up in the first round. There has been no statement about the Jets' trade intentions from the team.

I hear that Arizona wants a second rounder plus a player for Boldin. They prefer a runningback. I am hearing that they have spoken with the titans about a pick plus either Lendale White or Chris Henry. If that is the case lets trade them Thomas Jones straight up for Boldin and then Pick up Knowshon Moreno with the 17th pick. Jones has to be more appeling to them then White or Henry.
By Mike Jet Vet on Apr 24, 2009 | Reply
Randy I do like Sal Pal really I do but he seems to be touting Sanchez on us & would be a big mistake for the jets at this time .. BTW if you have any influence on Mike -T-Rex or Mr Johnson please get into there ears & ask them to look at the Kid from Cal Poly Ramses Barden They won't be sorry either will you again I will say 6-6 230 LBs fast with great hands willing to plow over the middle
By Alan on Apr 24, 2009 | Reply
Assuming The jets dont Trade up, and they draft at 17. Randy how long do you think it would take until they draft. I know you can't give a straight up answer, but i just wanted to know how long you think it would take in "hours" until the Jets are on the clock at 17?
By chris sandham on Apr 24, 2009 | Reply
How bout this?
The Jets trade their 2nd round pick and Thomas Jones for Anquan Boldin.
Then the Jets can pick Knowshon Moreno or Beanie Wells at 17
Then they can draft Tight end Jared Cook or Shawn Nelson or Cornilious Griffin in the 3rd or 4th round
By Randy Lange on Apr 24, 2009 | Reply
This is like an SAT question. If the Jets draft at No. 17 and if each of the teams ahead of them uses about 68 percent of the 10 minutes allotted to make their selection, and the draft starts at 4:10 p.m. ET … the Jets would be on the clock at 6 p.m.
By Ira on Apr 24, 2009 | Reply
I know about all the reports out there about Mr. T telling ESPN the Jets could trade up if there was a player they wanted that fell. To me that can only be Maclin. I can't see them giving away 3 picks for Sanchez. I will stick with the trade down and take Pettigrew and a WR in rd #2. You can't mortgage the future for a player that has played only 15 or 16 games in college.
By 36 year fan on Apr 24, 2009 | Reply
Here's my Mock jets draft. #1 ; Crabtree #2 Beanie Wells#3 Pettigrue #4 Aaron Curry #5 Heywood Bey #6 Ayers #7 Orakpo #8 Maualga#9 Maybin #10 Tyson Jackson. This is specific to the jets needs. I think Wells could easily belong at #1 . Perfect one- two punch with Thomas Jones. Leon Washington is the perfect changeup to that whole running attack.
By Russell on Apr 24, 2009 | Reply
I hope the Jets do not trade up to get QB Sanchez. I want to see either Clemens or Ratliff man the Jets QB position this season. With the # 17 pick, I hope the Jets select WR Heyward-Bey. Randy, do you know anything about this young man named Nalbone from Monmouth? The Jets seem to like him at the TE position. Jets also need to draft a RB to groom when the Jets say goodbye to Thomas Jones.
By michael on Apr 24, 2009 | Reply
If they could somehow get sanchez without giving up too much, I guess they have too. But if that don't work out I think they should stay at 17 and take the best available WR.
By Randy Lange on Apr 24, 2009 | Reply
Russell, I don't know any more than you probably know. John Nalbone is listed at 6'4″, 255, with good speed and 101 career catches at Monmouth. And he learned a major lesson from WR Miles Austin, who also went to Monmouth: If you've got game, they will find you.
By Jay on Apr 24, 2009 | Reply
Chris- couldn't agree more. Lose Jones and a second for Boldin. Pick up Moreno. Grab G Andy Levitre or TE Cameron Morrah in the 3rd. Our offense would be beastly at this point. Clemens will be a player this year, and I was pulling for Ratliff. Clemens, Moreno/Washington, Richardson, Boldin, Cotch, Clowney, Keller/Morrah. There's playmakers and grinders in that bunch. Hope Sat. works out…
By Michael Thomas on Apr 25, 2009 | Reply
The Jets can fill two needs if they get Pettigrue.
He can block and help the ground game and be used as a receiver.
Keller and Pettigrue on the field at the same time would drive defenses crazy.
By CCY on Apr 25, 2009 | Reply
Like the idea of a Jones/Boldin swap. Would prefer to swap Round 1's (17/31) than give up a round 2—think D.Brown (UConn) will be there at 31. Prefer Carolina TE's Hill (NCS), Quinn (UNC), Drew (EC) to Morrah . Thoughts?

If the Jets were to select Darius Heywerd-Bay this would be the worst draft choice in Jets history. Especially since we don't know how VG will pan out. DHB is raw speed like a D McFadden but far worse. Players are either born to catch the ball or not. Jets want there version of Randy Moss well this is far from it. WR are deep in the draft you can get a good one in round 2. NO DHB and NO FREEMAN.
By Mike Jet Vet on Apr 25, 2009 | Reply
I'm hyperventilating looking more & more like were moving up to take Sanchez ..I will say again we have to GIVE UP TO MUCH FOR UNDERCLASSMEN WITH NO NFL EXPERIENCE it's not rocket science …Hoping it's just a ruse to throw other teams in front of us off I know i've said all along I don't like Clemens & much rather see Rhatty in there but K-C KNOWS THE SYSTEM why did we keep him here 4 years
By Tim on Apr 25, 2009 | Reply
Our biggest whole is WR, which everybody knows. I only hope our GM realizes that. This team is a win now team not a rebuilding team. Find a way to get Boldin and at 17 pick the best available offensive player Harvin, Moreno, or Freeman. Forget Sanchez

Jets management would have to explain to fans {{why}}we gave Chad Penny away for no Picks no big money ..let AFC team the fins no less get him because of Brett Favre & he would have been mad I understand all that ..Then we keep K-C lets not 4get C-Penny beat him out last 2 seasons ..If we mortgage this draft for unproven QB They need to explain ..Thats 1 reason why were always looking for a QB

we should draft a running back! i really like donald brown. he is a grinder a can carry a running game… i followed him all year long! if uconn had a better quarterback they would of been playing ing the BCS last year! donald brown should be there pick if he is there. moreno too! i'm sold on brown. we should not draft any qb and if we do i think freeman is a good and solid pick.

How about this. Pick up Moreno in the first. Jones to Cards for Bouldin. add a 3rd to Cards in next year selection. Trade up for TE Pett or DE

Going to say this & know most won't agree.. I much rather if we must move up get that kid Brain Orakpo .. I know Defence isn't our choice at #17 but he would better serve this team then any underclassmen QB ..WE can get many very good players in the position of need on the team saying right were we are .. So please don't Johnny Mitchel or Anthony Becht this draft up do it right RB or receiver
By MIKE on Apr 25, 2009 | Reply
The only player worth moving up to get would be Michael Crabtree. He is an immediate #1 reciever put him beside Cotchery and Keller and we have a very dangerous trio of recievers.

Sanchez is too slow. He'd get tore up in the AFC East.And Freeman forget about it!! No Way. Beanie, or Crabtree the only way to fly.

Sad part is I think W- Johnson with the economy the way it is feels the need to fill The PSL's1st- especially with the talk if they don't games may be blacked out I don't think so but you never know.. Here is his predicament do we get a player who will help the team win or a player to fill the seats ..So far with the chatter out there it looks like the latter hope not we'll see at 6pm or so

good thought but who is going to throw the football
By Mike Jet Vet on Apr 25, 2009 | Reply
Same old stupid jet draft tactics at least if your going to give away our 1st pick give up the 3Th not the 2Th .. So we can get TE RB OR RECEIVER unbelievable this has to be the most dysfunctionaly challenged team in the history of the NFL

Maternity photos are the best way to capture the essence of motherhood.
|Photo by Travis Gauthier
Like so many moms out there, I live with the regret that I didn't document my pregnancy. My daughter is 21 and I'm 45, which means I had one opportunity and I blew it.
Sure, I have a few images from my pregnancy — which was among the best nine months of my life — but nothing like the beautiful, elegant images I see of my friends who hired a professional photographer to capture this life-changing moment and the glow that we all (well, most of us) feel while we're going through it.
Apparently, I'm not alone in my disappointment. "I've had women say, "Oh, I wish I had done it," says Lafayette photographer Travis Gauthier. So for any of you on the fence about this, I'm here to say, "Go for it."
Have your hair and makeup done — though you'll probably want a more natural look — don some heels if you can, and relax. If you work with a pro, you'll love the results.

There is really no right time to take maternity pictures because every woman's body is different, though most women tend to have them done between 28 and 30 weeks — before their belly drops and the real swelling kicks in. For Gauthier, the sweet spot is 7 months. "The belly is nice and round; it's pretty," he says.
|Photo by Michelle Fuselier
"It really depends on the woman," says Michelle Fuselier of Maurice, who has been taking maternity photos for the past decade. "I actually had one that ended up giving birth the next day."
Gauthier says maternity work for local photographers has really taken off in the past three to five years. Decades ago, some women tended to hide their pregnancies, even staying inside once they reached the third trimester and it had become obvious they were pregnant. But we've come a long way.
"Today it's just the opposite," Gauthier says. "Women are celebrating their bodies and how they look when they are pregnant."

Fuselier likes to turn her pregnancy images into works of art, a form she says appeals to women who are uncomfortable taking full body shots. "At the very least I try to get them to come in to do just their belly so I can do an art piece," she says.

As someone who is a creator at heart, East Williston artist Sabine Jean-Bart enjoys any activity that calls for transforming something. She loves to sew, knit and even garden, but her true love is to paint.
Painting has always been an activity Jean-Bart takes pleasure in doing, but it wasn't until 10 years ago that she started developing her skills. When her youngest son started high school, she found that she had more free time and decided to do something for herself.
"I'm always learning and always trying to absorb from whoever I'm working with," said Jean-Bart. "There are so many great artists out there. I'm just scratching the surface."
Jean-Bart's paintings have been on display at Barnes Gallery in Garden City since the end of February and will be taken down this week. She began taking painting classes at the community center in Herricks.
She has been painting ever since. Her preferred of painting is oil but she also enjoys painting in acrylic and watercolor.
Out of the many paintings in the art show "The Brushstrokes: Oil and Watercolor," there were twelve paintings sold, including three from Jean-Bart.
She had ten paintings on display at Barnes Gallery, and only seven remain. All of the paintings sold were oil landscapes.
Barnes Gallery holds six art shows a year.
"Our primary focus is picture framing," said gallery owner Gregory Schnoor. "That's how we make our living, but we do the art shows as well and have a really good time doing it, and meet a lot of really nice people."
This is not Jean-Bart's first art show. She has had paintings on display in Mineola during the month of February in the "Women of the World Art and Photography Exhibition." In August, she will have two paintings on display at LIU Post in the art exhibition called "The Endless Summer of Long Island."
It's hard for Jean-Bart to pick her favorite subject to paint. She enjoys showing the effect of light and shadows in her paintings. "The challenge is to see more than what hits the eye, and to make something that looks ordinary look extraordinary," she said.
Jean-Bart finds inspiration from the people and animals in her life. She uses nature to create landscapes and does commissioned paintings of people, children and animals.
Jean-Bart moved to America 33 years ago from Germany. She is married with two sons, Christopher and Michael and works as an operating room nurse at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn. Since last May, she has started to work part time, which has given her more time to focus on her passion for painting.

ALBACETE, Spain - The Ragin' Cajuns men's basketball team won their first game in their trip to Spain, defeating Albacete, a semi-professional team, 93-71 on Tuesday evening. The Cajuns used a strong second half to pull away and breeze to a 22-point victory and open the tour 1-0.
The Cajuns fell into foul trouble in the first quarter, getting five fouls early in the game, putting Albacete into the bonus. In international basketball, a team is only allowed five fouls a quarter, before sending their opponent to the line. Those fouls wash every quarter.
Albacete held on for the first quarter before getting into their own foul trouble in the second quarter, allowing the Cajuns to take a lead 53-38 lead going into the locker rooms at half time.
The Cajuns spread the ball around in the first half, with senior Bryant Mbamalu leading the pack with 13 points.
Albacete came out of the half with a bit of a spark, opening with a 9-4 run, cutting the Cajuns lead to 57-47. Louisiana responded right away with the best run for either side in the game, scoring 16 of the next 21 points, six of those coming from senior Elridge Moore to give the Cajuns a 73-52 lead.
Moore finished the game with 14 points, including a monster dunk in the first half, and eight rebounds.
The Cajuns added 20 more points in the fourth quarter with six coming from sophomore Steven Wronkoski, to finish the game off in a convincing 93-71 fashion.
Junior Elfrid Payton led the way for the Cajuns, posting the teams lone double-double, scoring 16 points with a team-high 11 assists and seven steals. Mbamalu added four more points in the second half to lead the team with 17 points.
Joining Mbamalu, Payton, and Moore with double-digit points was Wronkoski with 11 and junior Kevin Brown with 13.
Wronkoski also added nine rebounds, tying fellow sophomore Shawn Long for the team lead in that category. Moore was one behind them with eight rebounds.
The Cajuns will play their second game of the trip, and final game in Albacete tomorrow afternoon. They will then travel to Madrid, Spain for the final leg of their tour and two more games.

Zebra Peep Bow shoes from Schuh
The blue version of these shoes got a mention not so long ago and received a pretty good reception. This particular style takes the shoe to a different level, it's more 'notice me, notice my shoes first'. I actually quite like them but I think that's because I'm really quite bored of all things leopard print and I love the fact that the bow stands out even more than usual because of the eye catching hot pink. If you also quite like them they can be found at Schuh for £49.99.

Energy-Efficient Lights for GTNP
The National Park Foundation recently awarded Grand Teton National Park with a 2012 Impact Grant to help launch an energy saving project to replace 60 halogen lamps with energy efficient LED lamps in the historic Crandall Studio adjacent Jenny Lake. Strings of track lights provide illumination for interpretive exhibits, historic artwork and retail displays for the bookstore, as well as for general lighting throughout the building. Replacement of inefficient 50-watt halogen lamps with 9.5-watt LED lamps will provide the same level of lighting, but result in a substantial savings in energy use and cost. The grant is part of the National Park Foundation's Impact Grant program which gives parks the critical financial support needed to transform innovative, yet underfunded ideas into successful in-park programs and initiatives.

To Cameron, Clegg and Miliband.
1. Stop concentrating on little problems when we have so many huge ones.
2. Listen to the majority opinion and act on it, we are supposed to be a democracy.
3. Stop procrastinating, spinning, explaining, and negotiating on Europe. Just tell them what we will accept and if they don't quickly agree, call the referendum. We can re-negotiate once we are out.
4. Accept that even governments can't force people how to think.
5. Close the borders except in special cases, now. Worry about International/EU law later. Encourage proper integration of immigrants and stop trying to be multi-cultural.
6. Pay decent benefits to those who deserve them and stop overpaying people who clearly do not, even if they have lots of children. There are other ways of helping the kids.
7. Properly regulate banks, former utilities and fuel costs.
8. You work for us, so does "the state", we do not work for you. Remember this. We can fire you. You have 2 1/2 years to get it right. Start now.
To everyone else. I know this is a somewhat right wing paper and don't wish for another Labour government but, just for a while, please, please, put aside any party loyalty and help drive this message home. Vote against the big 3 in every election you can. Never abstain. It will do no harm and not change the government right now but it will deeply shake up the main parties and they so need shaking. If the conservatives do not remove their finger quickly the Labour "social democrats" will be back.

Title: impractial and poor quality
Date: Jul 27, 2011
My daughter was so excited to wear this at her bday party and we just couldn't get it to work. Wouldn't stay in the right place. The chain is impractical as a means to wear it over your eye. After a little while of trying to position the patch the chain broke. I was still going forward and was going to get it fixed, I put it in a baggie and planned to take it to a "bead shop" where i new they'd have tools and chains, however before doing that I noticed that a rhinestone was floating in the baggie and was missing from the eyepatch. Well, considering it hadn't been worn yet I thought that was pretty bad! No longer had hopes in this product! Poor quality too. We were really disappointed. I'd recommend the pink pirate patch!

When Barack Obama Starts Killing Babies, Trig Palin Will be the First to Go
As if suffering the slings and arrows of outrageous bloggers wasn't bad enough, now Governor Sarah Palin faces the ultimate indignity: watching as the president of the United States develops a complex, multi-agency health care reform plan designed to do just one thing.
Ha, no, I'm not talking about baby-killing. That's ridiculous.
I'm talking about killing one specific baby in particular…
The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's "death panel" so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their "level of productivity in society," whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.
This, of course, is from Sarah Palin's first (!!) Facebook note since leaving office, and if you think it sounds far-fetched, well, you just hold your mooses. Sarah Palin got her information from a very reliable source…
Rep. Michele Bachmann highlighted the Orwellian thinking of the president's health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the White House chief of staff, in a floor speech to the House of Representatives.
Say no more, Sarah. Say no more.

If you watch the movie SALT, during the chase scene on the bridge you can see the spinning U-Haul truck in the background.[joeb, 09/01/2012]
Major Albany highways and overpasses were used in Spring 2009 for SALT's big escape scene early in the movie. Angelina Jolie doesn't leap onto the spinning U-Haul -- perhaps because a truck spinning on a pole would seem too fake?
I was on my way back from a car show and was driving along I-787, and spotted what looks to be a full size U-Haul box truck spinning on a stick on top of a U-Haul facility in Albany, NY.[Tyler Salls, 10/08/2010]

LONDON (Reuters) - European drugs regulators said on Friday that evidence suggesting a link between GlaxoSmithKline's Pandemrix flu vaccine and a sleeping disorder called narcolepsy is "insufficient" and does not lead to any new concerns.
Pandemrix was designed to protect against the H1N1 pandemic flu that spread around the world in 2009 and 2010. At least 30.8 million people in Europe were vaccinated with it during the pandemic.
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) began a review of the vaccine's safety in 2010 after Finnish researchers presented evidence suggesting it might be linked to a rise in cases of narcolepsy, a rare condition which causes a person to fall asleep suddenly and unexpectedly.
"After careful consideration, the (committee) concluded that the data presented by the Finnish researchers are preliminary and that the evidence presented so far is insufficient to allow conclusions to be drawn," EMA said in a statement.

Strike Force
by Dale Brown
Action packed adventure from The New York Times bestseller Dale Brown Charged with rebuilding America's long-range attack force devastated in Edge ... Show synopsis Action packed adventure from The New York Times bestseller Dale Brown Charged with rebuilding America's long-range attack force devastated in Edge of Battle, Special Adviser to the President Lt. Gen. Patrick McLanahan shocks everyone by proposing to build a force of spaceplanes, able to attack any target on the globe within minutes. The project is led by test pilot Captain Hunter Noble. Just then, Iran's theocratic regime falls victim to a swift military coup that reveals its immense military power to the world. The new self-appointed Iranian president, General Buzhazi wants to normalize relations between Israel and the United States. Buzhazi appeals to the world for help in hunting down terrorists, he argues that only he has the resources to stop radical fundamentalist Islam, and the world responds favourably. Hunter Noble secretly launches several reconnaissance satellites over Iran to monitor Buzhazi's powerful forces. Soon the satellites reveal Buzhazi's real plan, planting thousands of Iranian Pasdaran special-ops troops throughout the oil-rich Kurdish region of northern Iraq. The U.S. tries to re-establish a strong military presence in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Peninsula, but Iran has the upper hand now, and the U. S. government realizes it is in danger of losing control of the entire Middle East. But Hunter Noble is already working up a plan to strike back, showing the real power of the spaceplane force.

A wronful death lawsuit was filed Monday against the Omaha hotel where a 5-year-old boy drowned in 2006. A similar incident happened in the same swimming pool a decade ago.
The Guevara family of Marshalltown, Iowa was vacationing in Omaha and staying at the Howard Johnson at 72nd and Grover. Brian Guevara drowned in the hotel pool on June 19, 2006.
"There should be more light," says father Rafael Guevara. "It should be clear water." Brian's parents and their lawyer contend the boy could have been saved if he could have been seen on the bottom of the pool.
The lawsuit alleges the condition of the water was to blame. "Totally murky, you couldn't see the bottom," says James Martin Davis, the Guevara's attorney. "It was not just cloudy, it was filthy and we have video of that."
A major piece of evidence in this lawsuit is security camera videotape from that day showing the mother anxiously looking for her son. What the tape clearly shows is cloudy water.
The mother couldn't find her son, but just a few feet from where she was looking, several boys helping search located Brian's lifeless body. "It's not just sad, it's just heart-wrenching," says Davis.
A few weeks after closing the pool in June 2006, health inspectors allowed Howard Johnson to reopen it. Channel 6 News video shot in July 2006 showed clearer water than when the youngster drowned.
The boy's family says that came too late and their lawsuit will be a warning to all pool operators that if you can't see bottom, don't let anyone swim. "It's not the money," says Rafael.
"The unfortunate thing is this is the second time in 10 years that this has happened at the same Howard Johnson in the same pool," says Davis. "They were sued about 10 years ago for the same thing and a large judgment was rendered against them. You would hope they would learn."
In that case, the victim was 10 years old. Davis says the courts ruled in the family's favor, awarding them a half-million dollars.
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts tells Channel 6 News it's unaware of the lawsuit filed Monday.
All Howard Johnson hotels are independently owned and operated. A Channel 6 News call to the manager of the Howard Johnson at 72nd and Grover has not been returned.
