HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- Maryland State Police are releasing the name of a state prison inmate who was apparently slain at the medium-security Maryland Correctional Institution near Hagerstown.
Police said Wednesday that 22-year-old Deavel Johnson died late Tuesday.
They say a correctional officer noticed Johnson bleeding from an upper body wound shortly before he collapsed at about 10:30 p.m. Police say the prison staff provided emergency care before Johnson was taken to a hospital.
Police say Johnson was in a "dormitory area" of the prison. That's an open housing area with bunk beds for up to 64 inmates.
Dormitory-style housing is provided at some prisons for low-security inmates and those with exemplary behavior.
Johnson was serving a four-year sentence for a 2012 first-degree burglary conviction in Howard County.

For Phyllis Kornluth, connecting with other adults with Type 1 has also been the key to her emotional well-being and ability to face the ongoing, daily demands of life with Type 1 diabetes. When she was first diagnosed, she recalls, "I really didn't know what the difference was between the types of diabetes. I only knew that I wanted to find and connect with other people who were living with Type 1 diabetes, and I couldn't find any!"
Since then, Kornluth has not only found other adults living with Type 1 diabetes, but she has also become a volunteer with Novo Nordisk's Divabetic program, in which diabetes education is introduced in a makeover format. (While Divabetic's outreach is aimed primarily at women with Type 2 diabetes, its events and programs are open — and welcoming — to women with any type of diabetes and to men, as well.) "It's not only about diabetes," Kornluth says about the makeover events. "It's about fashion and makeup and feeling good about taking care of yourself."
Becoming a blogger has given George Simmons a way to reach out to others who can understand his experiences. "Having an invisible disease is rough," he says. Simmons blogs about his experiences at www.thebadblog.com (bad stands for "Born Again Diabetic") and credits the online diabetes community and connections that he has made with other adults living with diabetes with giving him the support he needed to start taking care of his diabetes.
Making a difference Having to constantly educate others about diabetes and the differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes can get annoying, but sometimes making the effort can feel worth it. Last spring, for example, I picked up a book by one of my favorite writers, New York Times Magazine reporter Michael Pollan. In the book, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto, Pollan notes that what Americans are eating and how they're eating it (in front of TVs, in cars, etc.) is making them less healthy. I was agreeing and appreciating his well-written arguments until I got to a part in the book about the obesity epidemic and diabetes. He drew no distinction between Types 1 and 2 diabetes and even implicated insulin pump companies as benefiting economically from the obesity epidemic.
I was so upset that I wrote Pollan an e-mail message, as follows:
"Dear Mr. Pollan,
I am the author of Insulin Pump Therapy Demystified (Marlowe & Co, 2002) and I can assure you that the vast majority of pump users have Type 1 diabetes. That you include the insulin pump among technologies developed out of the obesity epidemic is absurd. The pump is the technology that has helped to keep Type 1 users alive and healthy. I could not have had two healthy pregnancies without it.
Please consider this point. I hope that you and no one in your family ever has to live with Type 1 diabetes and then deal with the media failing to distinguish the causality of these different types of diabetes."
I was pleased to receive a prompt reply from Mr. Pollan, thanking me and letting me know that in the future, he would be more careful about making a distinction between the types of diabetes. It was a small victory in terms of educating a media representative about diabetes, but one that I was happy to win.

10 of the Most Deceptively Depressing Songs in History
The legend of the Hungarian Suicide Song is one of those things that does the rounds on the blogs every few years, and it surfaced again on io9 over the weekend. The song in question — László Jávor and Rezső Seress's "Szomorú vasárnap," which translates into English as "Gloomy Sunday" — is famous for having allegedly catalyzed multiple suicides over the years, including its composer Seress' in 1968. Quite how much truth there is in all this is forever unclear, but one thing's for sure: the song's depressing as hell. Still, it's not always the obviously downbeat songs that cover disturbing and/or depressing subject matter — sometimes it's the most deceptively jaunty songs that conceal the saddest lyrics.

10 Great, Unexpected Mixtapes by Musicians Who Aren't DJs
This week sees the release of the soundtrack to British psychological thriller Berbarian Sound Studio, a soundtrack that's notable for being a) creepy as hell and b) the last thing ever recorded by much-missed British duo Broadcast before singer Trish Keenan's death from pneumonia in 2010. Keenan's death robbed the music world of a distinctive voice and a singular talent, and the release of Berbarian Sound Studio has got us listening again to the fantastic mixtape a friend of Keenan's released in her memory a couple of weeks after she died. This in turn got us thinking about other artist-made mixtapes that have brightened up our iTunes over the last couple of years, eclectic selections made by musicians you wouldn't necessarily expect to dabble in DJ mixes — we've shared a few of them after the jump. … Read More
50 of the Best Closing Lines in Music
It was about 18 months ago now that we collected an epic selection of our favorite opening lines in music, and we've been meaning to get around to closing lines ever since. There are plenty of candidates for such honors as far as films and books go, but surprisingly few for music — it's a more difficult exercise than it looks, perhaps because heaps of songs end with multiple renditions of the chorus rather than a punchy parting shot. Still, we've put together a bumper selection: 50 of the best.… Read More
A Selection of Great Duets We'd Love to See
As we've written here in the past, the duet is an inexact science — some of the collaborations that you'd think should have been roaring successes proved to be disastrous, and vice versa. We're still on the fence as to which group the new St. Vincent/David Byrne collaboration Love This Giant, which is out today, falls into — but either way, the fact that two of our favorite artists have made a whole record together got us thinking about other dream duets we'd love to see. We've started the discussion with a bunch of suggestions. Who would you like to see in the studio together? … Read More
10 of the Funniest Love Songs in History
Jens Lekman's new record I Know What Love Isn't is out this week, and on the whole it's a pretty morose affair, as befits its status as a breakup album. Still, even on a record this subdued, Lekman's signature humor can't help but shine through, despite the fact that he's left some of his funniest recent songs (namely "Waiting for Kirsten" and "An Argument With Myself") off the tracklisting. The fact that Lekman's songs are often as witty as they are moving is something that we've always liked about him — after all, love is frequently as bewildering, ridiculous, and, yes, funny as it is wonderful and inspiring, and love songs are a whole lot more effective if they eschew clichéd romanticism for realism. With that in mind, here's a selection of wry, witty, and/or plain old silly love songs that make us laugh, starting with one of Jens' best. Let us know your favorites in the comments. … Read More

Mustangs are ferel horses that are found in the western United States. They began as stray Spanish horses, but over the years, the Spanish breeds had mixed with European breeds as settlers expanded westward and have now been named mustangs. There is also some French horse breeds and wild horses from the eastern US mixed in the gene pool as well. The first ones came to AMerica in 1493 and they have been a bucnh ever since then creating the mixed breed. The word mustang comes from the Spanish word monstenco, which means wild. The population of wild horses in the US was 2 million in 1900, but had been reduced a lot since then to the point that congress created an act in 1971 that protected them. There are about 30,000 wild horses today.
Physical Characteristics:
The average height of mustangs is 16 hands which is higher than the average of all equine breeds however they do tend to have a shorter life expectancy than most horses since they only live about 20 years. They average about 750lbs which is vary light compared to most horses which makes them better suited to remain free and wild. They come in a wide variety of colors since there are so many breeds that make up mustangs.

Donald Byrd, one of the most prolific and dynamic jazz trumpeters of the 1950s, died Feb. 4 at 80 in a hospital in Delaware. After the '50s, he achieved commercial success, if not always critical acclaim, by exploring the contours of soul and funk music.
A spokeswoman for Haley Funeral Directors in Southfield, Mich., confirmed the death. No cause was provided. Word about Byrd's death began circulating on the Internet last week, but repeated calls to homes where he was known to have lived in New Jersey and Delaware were not returned.
Byrd emerged from the jazz caldron of Detroit in the mid-1950s and quickly became one of the primary instrumental voices of the hard-bop movement, a swinging blues-based style of jazz built around driving rhythms and tight ensemble work.
With a distinctive tone that balanced crisp intonation with a clean melodic line, he was in constant demand for record dates, including sessions with John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk, Jackie McLean and Max Roach. He appeared on 36 recordings in 1957 alone.
When Byrd's debut album appeared in 1955, jazz writer Nat Hentoff praised him in DownBeat magazine as "one of the most important jazz trumpet talents in the past few years."
Ever evolving as a musician and ever inquisitive as a person, Byrd studied composition in Europe with the acclaimed musical guru Nadia Boulanger in the early 1960s and began teaching at Howard University in 1968. He led the university's jazz band and developed a program of black music studies at Howard, where he taught until 1975.
As a performer, Byrd began to branch out from traditional acoustic jazz to explore a new, amplified style of music that drew heavily on the sounds of soul, funk and rhythm-and-blues. He recorded his first album in the new style, "Fancy Free," in 1969, followed a year later by "Electric Byrd."
In 1973, he released "Black Byrd," which soared up the R&B charts and sold more than 1 million copies, at the time the most ever for an album on the Blue Note label. With its throbbing electric bass lines, vocal parts, heavy percussion and other effects, Byrd's music found a new generation of fans, but many his older jazz listeners felt alienated.
He drew scathing reviews, including one from The Washington Post in 1975 that complained about "monotonous, over-amplified, disco-style noodling."
"I'm creative. I'm not re-creative," Byrd told the Detroit Free Press in 1999. "I don't follow what everybody else does. One of the proverbs my father used to say is, 'If you're not first, be among the first.' Everything I've done others have tried to copy."
With five of his students at Howard, Byrd organized a jazz-funk group, the Blackbyrds, that had a series of Top 20 R&B hits in the 1970s, including "Walking in Rhythm," "Happy Music" and "Time is Movin'."
In the 1980s and 1990s, Byrd experimented with rap music, and his compositions and trumpet solos were incorporated into songs by hip-hop artists Public Enemy, Nas, Guru and Erykah Badu.
Although hip-hop was different in tone and style from the jazz Byrd had performed in his youth, he considered it part of a long musical continuum.
"It reflects the tenor of the times, which African-American music has always done," he told the Chicago Tribune in 1993. "It is a furtherance of what vocal music coming out of the jazz and African-American expression has always been, from Louis Armstrong to Cab Calloway to people like Dizzy
Donaldson Toussaint L'Ouverture Byrd II was born Dec. 9, 1932, in Detroit, where his father was a Methodist minister.
The younger Byrd served as a musician in the Air Force in the 1950s and attended Detroit's Wayne State University before moving to New York. In 1955 and 1956, he occupied the trumpet chair in the Jazz Messengers, the influential group led for many years by drummer Art Blakey.
Byrd made many albums as a leader on the Blue Note label, including several with a fellow Detroit native, baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams. In 1960, Byrd was the first major jazz performer to hire the young pianist Herbie Hancock, who went on to great acclaim with trumpeter Miles Davis and as a solo performer.
Byrd had at least four academic degrees, including a master's degree from the Manhattan School of Music and, according to published reports, a law degree from Howard.
Byrd established jazz studies programs at Howard and North Carolina Central University and taught at many other colleges, including Hampton University in Virginia, Rutgers University in New Jersey, Delaware State University and the University of Delaware. He lived in Dover, Del., for several years.
Byrd was named a Jazz Master in 2000 by the National Endowment for the Arts, the country's highest honor for jazz musicians. He continued to perform sporadically into his late 70s and was regarded by generations of musicians as a jazz elder.

At the outset of the last New Hyde Park/Garden City Park School Board meeting, the board took time out to recognize math and science students.
The following Math Enrichment students presented their projects:
Grade 4-Gabriel Wong, of the Manor Oaks School.
Grade 5-Nicole Joseph, of the New Hyde Park Road School.
Grade 6-Danielle Schwartz, of Hillside Grade School.
The following students received awards of recognition from the district for participating and winning at the Long Island Science Fair held recently at Nassau Community College:
First place: Matthew Rowinsky, of New Hyde Park Road School.
Second place: Shane Sam, Jithin Thomas and Ryan Moon.
Third place: Kayla Loubriel, Jacqueline Lai and Caroline Bak.
The regular school board meeting then began with a report from the District Internal Auditor Dan Hoffman, of Cullen and Danowski, who reported that the district had been very cooperative in the areas his firm is required to review. Over the years they have gone over the records in purchasing activities, employee benefits, operations and facilities staff departments and recently payroll. Hoffman said he met with the audit committee that he deemed was well designed and knowledgeable.
Hoffman said, "Overall the controls in this district are very strong and through the years steps have been taken to consolidate jobs to provide some very good backup in such a small district. As a matter-of-fact due to the lack of findings we have been able to reduce our fees consistently."
The first topic on the agenda was the school budget to be voted on May15 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. at the Manor Oaks School, 1950 Hillside Avenue, New Hyde Park.
Superintendent Robert Katulak then commented on the budget process. He said, "We concentrated diligently on reducing all areas of expenditures without hurting the students by either cutting staff or academic programs. Further, we held a series of 10 public forums to explain the budget and the tax cap and to hear your concerns.
"What we have crafted through a collaborative process is a budget that preserves all essential academic programs and personnel and comes in with the lowest budget-to-budget increase of 2.88 percent in the past 10 years. We are presenting a budget that adheres to Governor Cuomo's tax cap and will require the simple majority role vote."
The following is the three-part budget for next year:
Administrative Budget
$3,523,469-10.21 percent
Program Budget
$25,462,296-73.82 percent
Capital Budget
$5,508,615-15.9 percent
$34,494, 380
Katulak added, "In the final analysis, the difference to the average tax bill of a passed proposed budget vs. a contingency budget will save each homeowner $82.01."
Lisa Friel, president of the PTA Intra School Council said, "We would like it to be known that all the memberships have voted and are unanimously in support of this budget. We would like to thank the members of the board of education for presenting us with an educationally sound budget with no cuts to our valued programs."
Joan Schuman, a 45-year resident of New Hyde Park, said she looked closely at the budget and under the administrative budget, the employees benefits were reduced. But, on the program budget they went up by $521, 000. She wanted to know what portion do the employees pay?"
Assistant Superintendent For Business Michael Frank explained that the reason there was a reduction in the administrative budget is that two positions were consolidated into one.
"In terms of overall benefits there are overall units. We have the administrators, we have the clerical, teachers, monitors, aides and nurses and each of those collective bargaining units have different share ratios. So for health insurance it differs in every unit."
Schuman said, "Did their fair-share increase according to the amount of settlement with the district. She also wanted to know why the testing services went up by $48,000."
Katulak said, "Under the new APPR Plan, mandated by the state education department, each school district has to offer a local assessment that is administered by a company that the district ultimately has to pay for."
Trustee David DelSanto said, "You talk about unfunded mandates we on the school board do not have a say. We would prefer not to have this testing service, but when the governor and the state school board association tells us we have to have it, and then add we have to pay for it out of our own budget, it drives us crazy and it happens all the time."
Schuman said, "May I make a suggestion, that when you send out the bulletin, regarding the budget, when there is an amount listed that has been increased that you give just a few lines under that item as to why it was increased."
Another resident said, "I would like to commend the board for putting together one of the most difficult budgets and further, the presentation by Michael Frank and Superintendent Katalak was probably the best I have seen because it was so understandable.
"What I would like to ask is that the community agreed to an $8 million capital program and I did not see any costs for that in this budget. I did notice that boiler repairs were listed and I thought that would be included in the capital program. It's a lot of money and I just wanted to know if that has been included in the budget."
Katalak answered, "All the contracts for that capital plan have been awarded and soon we will have a 'kick-off' meeting. The bulk of the work will be done during the summer months beginning in June. As we proceed there will be an itemized account of items listed on the district website."
The same resident was also concerned about the fence at Hillside Grade and a fence at Manor Oaks. He mentioned that the clips have been removed and that is sometimes is in preparation for removing the fence.
Stephanie Teff, a labor relation's specialist for the clerical employees, spoke at the end of the meeting. She said, "There are 15 members of this unit and they are hard-working and most live in New Hyde Park making an average wage of about $40, 476."
She then went on to say that in five years the same employees, if they accept the contract that is being presented now, would be paying almost 25 percent of their salaries for health insurance since it is expected that each year the Empire Health Plan will be increased by 10 percent.
After Teff gave her presentation, the meeting ended. The next meeting of the New Hyde Park/Garden City Park School Board will be held on June 11 at the Manor Oaks School, 1950 Hillside Avenue, New Hyde Park.


text: On January 9, 2011, about 0751 Pacific standard time, a Cessna 310C, N1755H, sustained substantial damage when it collided with terrain near the approach end of runway 24 at the General Wm J Fox Airfield (KWJF), Lancaster, California. The airplane was owned by the pilot and operated as a visual flight rules (VFR) personal flight under the provisions of Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91, when the accident occurred. The airline transport pilot, the sole occupant of the airplane, was not injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and no flight plan was filed for the cross-country flight that originated from Daggett, California, at 0707.In a written report to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the pilot reported that the nose landing gear failed to fully retract after a practice approach to the Palmdale Regional Airport, Palmdale, California. The pilot diverted to a nearby airport in Lancaster, with the intent of landing on runway 24. The pilot stated that he performed the "LANDING WITH DEFECTIVE NOSE GEAR" procedures, as indicated in the owner's manual; however, the nose gear remained in a mid-range position. Approximately 1/4 mile from the intended runway, with the main gear down and the nose gear in the mid range position, the pilot placed the mixture levers in the "cut-off" position and the propeller levers to "feather." The pilot reported that after doing so, the "the aim point rapidly shifted to approximately 500 feet short of the runway" and he inadvertently landed approximately 200 feet short of the paved surface.Postaccident examination of the airplane by a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector revealed substantial damage to the forward fuselage and wings.A secondary postaccident examination of the airplane, by the pilot, revealed that the nose landing gear centering roller mechanism was missing and most likely separated during the flight. This, according to the pilot, resulted in the nose gear wheel assembly not centering during retraction which jammed the wheel assembly in the wheel well. He stated that the nose gear continued to cycle when it jammed, and ultimately separated the primary landing gear push-pull tube from the forward rod end, rendering the gear inoperative. It was not determined why the missing nose landing gear centering mechanism separated from the airframe in-flight.The Emergency Procedures checklist for the accident airplane, LANDING WITH DEFECTIVE NOSE GEAR, indicated, in part, to land the airplane prior to placing the mixture levers to the idle cut-off position. The checklist does not make reference to the propeller levers. The pilot reported that the wind, during the of the accident, was from 260 degrees at 23 knots.

When it comes to beauty, Michelle Phan knows her stuff, just ask her nearly 4 million YouTube fans. Michelle often stays at our hotels and on a recent visit, we had to ask what are her top 10 beauty secrets for travelers on-the-go.
1. Put makeup on ready-to-use swabs. This is so much better than bringing a ton of different eyeshadows when you go away for the weekend.
2. To refresh makeup while traveling, never glob on more foundation or blush. Instead, spray a mist of mineral water and add a dab of moisturizer to freshen up your look.
3. Leave your house with a leave-in conditioner in your hair. Wrap it in a scarf, and you'll get an 'in-flight' deep-conditioning treatment.
4. Get the most from your makeup. Use products that have "long-lasting" or "long-wearing" in the name to maximize benefits and minimize the amount of bottles you need to pack.
5. Cool cucumber eye pads. Pre-moistened pads soothe and refresh tired and puffy eyes. Stick them in the fridge the night before you travel and they'll be perfectly chilled on the go.
6. If you run out of mascara, melt eyeliner with a blow dryer and brush it on with a spoolie from your makeup bag.
7. Add a drop of water to (crushed) powder aspirin from the hotel emergency kit as a great DIY for pimple treatment.
8. Use the business cards from your meetings to create sharp, clean edges for your eyeliner look.
9. To make your foundation last longer, skip moisturizers and use a face primer instead.
10. Warm a bit of clear lip balm between your fingertips to slick down any flyaways.

Assessing the Atlantic 10's NCAA Tournament ChancesPosted by Joe Dzuback on March 16th, 2014
Joe Dzuback is the RTC correspondent for the Atlantic 10 Conference.
The chances for six bids, a record high for the Atlantic 10, are strong. The source for the seeds is the Bracket Matrix (a consensus of approximately 100 bloggers/bracketologists).
Virginia Commonwealth (#6 seed) — For the Rams, who have had problems generating offense from the half-court all season, turnovers leading to fast breaks and transition threes are especially important. Virginia Commonwealth's HAVOC approach to defense is designed to generate turnovers through aggressive pressure and quick traps. HAVOC defense values turnovers and the scoring opportunities they create over shot defense. The key to negating the Rams' strategy is to grow old and patient. Lineups that feature upperclassmen, especially in the ball-handling positions, can break the press on most possessions and make the Rams pay with easy baskets. A turnover or two should not rattle the backcourt and cause hasty, turnover-inducing decisions like the ones that plagued George Washington in the Atlantic 10 semifinals on Saturday. thrives in a hurry-up offense and defense that values turnovers over shot defense. Break the Rams' press and avoid the half-court traps, unlike George Washington's guard Joe McDonald Saturday, and the opponent should have a clean look at the basket. He and freshman point guard Miguel Cartagena threw two passes away with under four minutes to play and the Colonials down nine. "You can see it in their eyes… in their body language… when they are rattled," a scout observed. Smart's squad is the A-10's best bet for a deep run this NCAA Tournament. While they have their flaws, they also have an experienced coach who will get them ready to play.
Saint Louis (#6 seed) – VCU may get most of the "defense" ink, but St. Louis has compiled the most impressive defensive resume in the conference… up until two weeks ago, holding opponents to 0.93 points per possession, good for #8 in Division I, according to Ken Pomeroy. The defense is vintage Rick Majerus — stifling shot defense (especially out to the three-point line) that values defensive rebounds, limited fouls and a hand in the face over turnovers. Their late February/early March slump could be anticipated because the Bills' had a string of small point margins through much of their 12-0 start to conference play. Their 1-3 close has hurt their projected seeding and possibly their confidence. While Austin McBroom and Mike McCall are decent from beyond the arc, they are specialists. Opposing defenses know if McBroom or McCall (or forward Rob Loe) has the ball, the shot will come from the outside and anyone else will drive the lane or pass into the low post. Jordair Jett, the A-10 Player of the Year, has proven to be able to create his own shot, but everyone else needs a setup or set play to score. The Bills will have to find a third/fourth option on offense to take a deep run.

During his working visit to New York, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan met with Foreign Ministers of Mexico, Cuba, and Guatemala on September 28.
The meeting of E. Nalbandyan and Mexican Foreign Minister Ms. Patricia Espinosa was dedicated to the development of bilateral links. The two ministers discussed in detail the joint steps aimed at developing the cooperation such as strengthening the legal and contractual basis, fostering the political dialog, and developing the inter-parliamentary links. The Armenian foreign minister informed his Mexican counterpart about Armenia's plans to establish an embassy in Mexico next year. E. Nalbandyan also spoke about the efforts of Armenia and the international community to resolve the Nagorno Karabakh problem.
At the meeting with Guatemalan Foreign Minister Harold Caballeros, the interlocutors discussed the bilateral willingness to develop relations, touching upon the establishment of cooperation between the foreign ministries of the two countries, and the opportunities of cooperation in culture and education spheres. Harol Caballeros invited Edward Nalbandyan to visit Guatemala in order to continue the dialog.
Steps to boost bilateral relations were discussed at the meeting with Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez. The sides also exchanged views on regional problems.

Tuesday, November 4, 2008, was not a great day for Catholics. Vote-wise, a majority of baptized Catholics (54 percent) sided with the presidential winner, Senator Barack Obama, as they have in every election since 1972.
White Catholics cast 52 percent of their votes, however, for the GOP standard bearer, down four percent from 2004. Sixty-seven percent of Hispanics voted for Obama, up eight percent over Kerry's 2004 total.
Although practicing/church-going Catholics (who represent ten percent of the electorate) gave McCain 55 percent of their vote, many in the rust belt regions of Pennsylvania and Ohio stayed home because they were disenchanted with the Republicans; angry at Bush; or unhappy with McCain.
On the bright side, exit polls indicate America is still a center-right nation. Thirty-four percent of voters consider themselves conservatives, 22 percent liberal – unchanged from the 2004 election, and essentially the same breakdown as has existed since Reagan recentered the electorate to the right.
Four out of five Green ballot issues went down to defeat – two of them in California. In Arizona, California, and Florida, same-sex marriage bans passed with the overwhelming support of African-Americans and Hispanics.
On the dark side, Democrats who will control on January 20, 2009, the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, will be positioned to implement their extreme leftist social agenda. In their new social order, rights will be the weapons of self-interest; responsibility based on a moral hierarchy will be anathema.
Here's what Catholics can expect:
Also, after the inner-city Saul Alinksy community organizers descend on Washington and grab control of the federal bureaucracy, Catholic institutions will be harassed. Expect the I.R.S. to go after Catholic dioceses, colleges, think tanks, foundations – and their donors – for promoting their faith in the public square.
For forty years, radical groups promoting secular ideologies such as Marxism, Darwinism, Freudianism, and behaviorism – all of which deny man's spirituality and declare him free of all moral constraints – have been plotting to get their hands on the wheels of the federal government. Well, on November 4, they and their fellow travelers finally succeeded.
Catholics must realize that for these ideologues man is an individual without intrinsic value; he is not a person in the traditional sense, just the highest animal on the evolutionary scale. For these ideologues the human person is irrelevant. Universal ideas and absolute values are meaningless because man's existence has no spiritual dimension. The concept of liberty as freedom to do what one ought to do is, in this view, absurd; freedom means license to do whatever is desired. Values are merely a matter of taste; the common good is disregarded in favor of the collective good or individual good.
Practicing Catholics in the public square must get it through their heads that while the new regime's rhetoric may be appealing and sound sophisticated, nevertheless, there is an underlying and serious distaste for Catholicism. Catholics will be viewed by these secular humanists as public villains and in their salons, anti-Catholicism will be an even more acceptable prejudice than it already has been.
Catholics must brace themselves for the worst and be prepared to be public defenders of the faith.
The Catholic Thing welcomes comments, which should reflect a sense of brevity and a spirit of Christian civility, and which, as discretion indicates, we reserve the right to publish or not. And, please, do not include links to other websites; we simply haven't time to check them all.

Washington Post:
Mr. Bush will go down in history for his embrace of torture and bear responsibility for the enormous damage that has caused.
N.Y. Times:
While the White House agreed to a list of grave breaches of the conventions that could be prosecuted as war crimes, it stipulated that the president could decide on his own what actions might be a lesser breach of the Geneva Conventions and what interrogation techniques he considered permissible.
Glen Greenwald:
The President had only one objective with these "negotiations," which was to ensure that the CIA's torture program could continue, and that goal has been fulfilled in its entirety.

Valentine BINGO Centerpieces: table decor ideas
Looking for wedding table decor? Baby Shower centerpieces? These are Valentine centerpieces headed to my local library for table decor, but it's a fun idea that can be applied to any occasion: Rosettes!
To make these easy Valentine centerpieces, I used the Designer Rosette Die from Stampin' Up! (see it online) and the More Amore Designer Series Paper (see the paper online – 129309). If you've never made them before, be sure to check my Designer Rosette Die Tutorial.
For this size of picks, I cut one full strip of designer paper with the rosette die, then cut it into 3 pieces before folding and gluing (TIP: hot glue for speedy rosettes!).
Here are some of the fun supplies I used:
- Big Shot (see it online – 113439) — see more Big Shot ideas on my blog
- Designer Rosette Die (see it online) — see more Designer Rosette ideas on my blog
- Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit (see it online)
- Occasions Alphabet ( see it online – 123598)
Here's another idea for the Designer Rosette Die same shapes (cut into 3 strips per rosette die-cut) but different paper.
Have fun with these!

During landing on runway 12L at the William P. Hobby Airport, Houston, Texas, the pilot noticed flames between his feet. He exited the runway to the left and deplaned. Examination of the airplane by the FAA inspector revealed that a high pressure fuel line on the right side of the engine, had a hole burned into it. The fuel line had been improperly installed to within one inch of the exhaust pipe. Further examination revealed that the right main landing gear had been damaged by a 'previous landing,' and an aft engine mount had a break that 'appeared to be old.' The airplane was destroyed by the fire.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

The pronounciation of "Florilegium"? Who knows? It's Latin. Yes, the spelling is often a problem and I realized that it would be from the start. But "Miscellany" was already being used. :-) I figure most people bookmark it and don't type it in each time. While the idea of listing the Latitude/Logitude info might be useful, perhaps it is something that would best be added to the event directions or perhaps a webpage on a kingdom or local website. Is there a standard form for this information that all GPS receivers can use? Since the Florilegium is an international list, I don't think that the Florilegium is really the best place for such a list. Even though once entered this information probably wouldn't change much. Except perhaps for that Shire? on the aircraft carrier. :-) Stefan stefan at florilegium.org

The Barnes House on Oak Ridge
A long winding driveway leads you to The Barnes House on Oak Ridge in the San Rafael Hills designed by prominent architect, Elmer Grey in 1913. Grey is best known for his design of the Pasadena Playhouse, Beverly Hills Hotel, and his co-design with Myron Hunt of the Henry Huntington residence in the Huntington Gardens in San Marino. Grey envisioned Southern California as a "unique American Mediterranean". The Barnes House, which draws on English Arts and Crafts influences is considered to be one of Grey's finest achievements in the Craftsman style. There are six bedrooms and five baths in this spacious home - beautifully situated on over an acre and a half of land. With high boxwood ceilings, lovely hardwood floors, French doors, built-ins, and an airy interior with views out of almost every window of the gardens and Arroyo Seco. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Pasadena's architectural history.

FOR FOODIES: Gordon Ramsay planted his second Union Jack in Vegas with his Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, which gives guests a chance to sample British pub fare. Bobby Flay's longtime Mesa Grill seems like an old fixture, but guests still flock here for Southwestern fare. Michel Richard and his James Beard Foundation award-winning cuisine find a home in his first 24-hour restaurant, Central Michel Richard, where his penchant for crunch is expressed in creative ways. Francois Payard can go upscale at his fine dining restaurant or downscale with crepes and croque-madame at his café next door. For a decadent dining experience, Restaurant Guy Savoy features one of the most expensive tasting menus in the city along with a Krug Room and Cognac Room for over-the-top experiences. Bacchanal Buffet, with its seemingly endless line of food from across the globe, makes dishes in individual containers for the buffet fan.
FOR LUXURY LOVERS: Caesars Palace is massive, and to set its most luxurious rooms apart, Caesars formed The Laurel Collection, consisting of the resort's Augustus and Octavius towers. Like other hotels-within-hotels on the Strip, The Laurel Collection has its own private valet entrance, exclusive registration and a dedicated staff. The 949-room Augustus Tower features the massive Qua Baths & Spa as well as the superlative Restaurant Guy Savoy. The Octavius Tower, a 668-room structure that was part of the mega-resort's $860 million expansion, is the newer building. Accommodations have a soothing brown, taupe and gray palette plus a bevy of high-tech amenities. The entire collection has its own special app through which guests connect with the hotel's services.
FOR PARTIERS: In the 2009 hit movie The Hangover, the bachelor partiers checked into Caesars. That inspired a lot of guys to follow suit. Rates aren't cheap, starting in the $110 range, but the casino is convivial (check out the Pussycat Dolls gaming tables with scantily clad dealers and go-go dancers). PURE Nightclub with its terrace overlooking the Strip packs them in, and the roster of bars and eateries is gargantuan. Guests can even play blackjack on stools submerged in the Fortuna pool.
FOR SHOPPING DIVAS: Why waste time in a modern-day chariot getting to the famed Forum Shops? Choose luxury lodging in The Laurel Collection in Caesars' complex, including the lavish, recently-renovated Octavius Tower, with separate check-in area (accommodations start at under $200, about double that for a basic Caesars room during slow periods). After a buying spree, treat yourself to the most extravagant buffet in town or a show by Celine, Elton, Shania or Rod in the Coliseum.
FOR A SURPRISE: The guys from The Hangover partied at a replica of the property's Forum Tower Emperor's Suite, one of several Caesars Fantasy Suites. The bi-level beauty also made the scene in the 1988 movie Rain Man. You can book what's billed as "the ultimate party pad," a collaboration with ABSOLUT vodka. The 2,650-square-foot ABSOLUT Find Your Flavor suite features four bedrooms whose color schemes are inspired by the brand's flavored vodkas – lemon, peach, raspberry and mandarin orange — plus a living area that channels ABSOLUT Raspberri . The two-level suite includes a wet bar (natch), dance floor (yeah, baby) and Strip views from 20-foot windows. Expect to pay $3,000 and up nightly, unless you're a high roller Total Rewards member. Unlike most other suites at Caesars Palace reserved for big spenders, the Fantasy Suites can be booked by anyone.

Our product is fantasy football management software. The web site is commishfantasyfootball.com. Please do not use the logo of the site, I like it for the site, but not for the banner.
The banner should be fun and inviting.
Our clients are 90% male, between the ages of 20 - 45.
You can produce an example in 468X60, but the final product should contain 468x60, 120x240,125x125, and 120x90 sizes.
I would like the files to be PSD format divided in layers.
Do not worry about matching the banner with the website. Our web site will be overhauled next year anyway.
Slight animation is OK, but nothing too flashy.

Abandoned puppies rescued in Porter; Police seek driver of SUV
Porter County Animal Control would like to speak to the driver of an SUV
suspected of dumping a parcel of puppies on Friday on State Park Road in
According to Porter Police, at 11:24 p.m. a motorist turned onto State Park
Road, just off Waverly Road, and saw a dark-colored SUV to the west of her,
its lights off. She also saw several puppies running loose in the roadway.
Then, as the SUV "quickly" left the scene, she saw "several more puppies and
the mother running in the road."
The motorist, along with several others, stopped and began gathering the
lab-mix puppies and putting them in their vehicles until Animal Control
arrived at 12:20 a.m.
All told: 17 puppies were rescued. Fifteen of them were immediately
transported to the Animal Shelter, while two were taken home by a good
Samaritan who, concerned for their health, said she would get them to a vet.
The mother, a black lab, was subsequently live-trapped in the area of State
Park Road and Ind. 49.
PCSP Sgt. Larry LaFlower told the Chesterton Tribune today that, to
his knowledge, all of the puppies and their mother, will be adopted out.

My Blog
Michael Pento continues:
Because of this fact, Japanese politicians have succeeded to increase the debt to GDP ratio to 237%, which should have already caused a collapse in Japanese Government Bonds (JGBs) and the Yen. However, JGBs have held their value for two reasons: The Japanese own 92% of their sovereign debt; And, up until now, deflation has reigned over the island....
Continue reading the Michael Pento piece below...
To hear which two companies are merging into a gold powerhouse with nearly 10 million ounces of gold and why it has attracted BlackRock, JP Morgan, Van Eck & Sprott
Asset Management as major shareholders click on the logo below:
"Since foreigners do not own a large portion of Japanese bonds, there isn't a big concern about a mass exit from JGBs due to the fear of a weakening Yen. If foreign ownership of sovereign debt was more in the area of 50% (like it is in the U.S.), there would be a palpable fear on the part of those creditors that their wealth could be wiped out upon currency repatriation—especially in light of the new administration's love affair with inflation and a falling currency.
More importantly, since aggregate prices have dropped in 10 of the last 15 years, and inflation has averaged a negative 0.6% in the last 4 years, holders of JGBs weren't that concerned about yields being so close to zero percent. Falling prices allowed the government of Japan to issue debt with very little cost.
Both of those conditions needed to stay in place in order for JGBs and the Yen to hold their values. Thankfully for Japan, foreign creditors still hold a very small proportion of sovereign paper. However, deflation is soon to become a thing of the past. If Shinzo Abe achieves his goal of at least a 2% inflation target, it will remove the most important support pillar for Japanese debt. In effect, the Japanese government has pulled the pin on a debt grenade that will explode in the very near future.
As of now, the Japanese 10-year note yields just 0.75%. That's a very poor yield; but since holders of Yen are currently experiencing deflation, they still are provided with a real return on their investment. But if inflation does indeed rise to 2%, the yield on the 10-year note would have to rise above 3.3% in order to offer the same real yield seen today.
However, the problem is that Japan is already spending nearly 25% of all national revenue on debt service payments—despite the fact that interest rates are close to zero. If the average interest rate on outstanding debt were to increase over 2% -- or anywhere close to offering a real yield on JGBs -- Japan would be paying well over 50% of all government revenue on debt service payments alone.
Of course, some will say that yields won't go that high even if inflation creeps higher. But these investors should be reminded that the Japanese 10-year note was 1.8% back in May of 2008. That was not too long ago and it occurred during a time when inflation was rising at just a one percent annual rate.
If the government of Japan has to pay 50% of its income on debt service payments it will be game over for JGBs. Domestic investors will flee the sovereign bond market in search of a real return on their investments, as they collectively realize that there is zero chance of being repaid their principal and interest in real terms.
Unfortunately, Japan has chosen to go down the path that leads to a currency and bond market catastrophe. The BOJ wants the Yen to go lower; and yet at the same time the Fed wants the dollar to lose value as well. Both Bernanke and Shirakawa want more inflation and a weaker currency vis a vis the other.
This begs the question; when two central bankers launch an all-out currency war who will win? History shows us that the answer is clear. The absolute losers will be the middle classes of both countries. And the winner will be those who have the intelligence and foresight to eschew fiat currencies and the sovereign debt they support.
With so much monetary madness crossing the globe, it isn't such a shock to learn that the U.S. mint has sold out of 2013 American Eagle silver coins. Exchange traded products now own a record $20.1 billion worth of silver, and central banks are buying more gold than they have in the past half century.
Since central bankers are more determined than ever to destroy their currencies, it seems more important than ever for investors to store their wealth in alternative currencies that cannot have their value inflated away, and that means increasing money flows into both gold and silver."

This Exploding Grenade Will Create A Gold & Silver Surge
After a solid advance last week for gold and silver, today Michael Pento has written exclusively for King World News to let readers know about the exploding grenade which is going to send, "... increasing money flows into both gold and silver." Here is Pento's piece: "Japan has already suffered through 25 years of an economic malaise because they have refused to allow the free market to work its reconciliation magic. Their reliance on government borrowing and spending to rescue the economy has proven to be a miserable failure."

Freedom feels like you can breathe.
Freedom from violence feels liberating.
Freedom from domestic abuse is a breath of fresh air.
Freedom is scary initially, but you'll get the hang of it. Freedom feels like making the decision at the last minute to go out with your girlfriends on a Thursday night.
You don't have to ask permission. You don't have to turn it down. You can just go.
Between the ages of 15 and 44, domestic violence is the number 1 cause of injury among women.
Love shouldn't hurt. If someone loves you, they don't hate you. If someone loves you, they don't beat you. If someone loves you, they don't call you a bitch.
Leaving my abuser was one of the greatest gifts that I could ever give myself.
A healthy relationship feels like something everyone should have, feels like something you deserve.
It's your right.
Reinvention can be extremely scary, but afterwards when you've conquered it, there's such a feeling of satisfaction.
You can leave. It does get better.
I made a decision not to go back, wasn't on the first try and wasn't on the second, but it was definitely less than seventh, and the smartest thing I ever did was stand up for myself and say you know what, you have problems, not me. These are your issues, and I don't need to take this.
Do it now, now.

Commercial litigation
The Saudi Arabian courts system is currently going through major reforms under a new Judiciary Regulation and a new Board of Grievances Regulation, which were both enacted under Royal Decree No. M/78 of 19th Ramadan 1428 Hejra corresponding to 1st October 2007 Gregorian. However, it has taken time for these reforms to be implemented, and there is not at present a clear date when the Board of Grievances will lose its commercial jurisdiction.
The Saudi Arabian courts system is divided into the Shari'a (Islamic Law) Courts on the one hand, and specialized statutory tribunals on the other hand. The Shari'a Courts are courts of general jurisdiction, and they are mainly concerned with matters relating to land, family disputes, personal injury claims, and criminal cases.
Of the statutory tribunals, the most important by far is the Board of Grievances. Its jurisdiction includes disputes involving the Saudi Arabian government and government agencies (judicial review of administrative action and government contract disputes), most types of commercial cases, the enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards. The President of the Board of Grievances holds the rank of a government minister. It is a superior court in all but name. Under the judicial reforms, the commercial jurisdiction of the Board of Grievances will be transferred to commercial courts within the Shari'a Courts structure.
Other types of disputes falling under the jurisdiction of specialized committees are the following:
Litigation before all Saudi Arabian courts and tribunals takes place in a series of short hearings. There is no trial preceded by pleadings and other pre-trial procedures. Rather, the claimant commences the action by filing a complaint, and the parties are summoned to a hearing. At this and subsequent hearings the parties file written submissions, oral argument is heard, and evidence is produced. In between hearings there normally are intervals of several weeks, and sometimes months, depending on the judges' caseload. The courts and tribunals do not follow strict timetables, and there is no real limit on the number of hearings which may take place before a case is set down for judgment.
Once a judgment is issued by the Board of Grievances, the judges ask both parties whether they agree with the ruling. If the losing party disagrees, which is quite common, it has thirty days from receipt of the written judgment to lodge a written appeal to the Board of Grievances Review Panel. The Review Panel reviews the case on the basis of the lower tribunal's record and the case file, without the parties being present. If the Review Panel agrees with the decision, the judgment is stamped "final and enforceable" without giving reasons, and returned to the tribunal at first instance. If the Review Panel disagrees with the decision on a point of law or procedure, it may either issue its own judgment after having heard further arguments from both parties (which is rare at this stage of the proceedings), or remit the case for re-consideration to the tribunal at first instance (which is the normal procedure).
The new Saudi Arabian Arbitration Regulation, Royal Decree No. M/34 of 25th Jumada Awwal 1433 Hejra corresponding to 16th April 2012 Gregorian, has introduced radical changes to the law governing arbitrations in Saudi Arabia and the status of arbitrations conducted abroad, by reducing the involvement of the courts in arbitrations and granting extensive freedom to the parties to structure the procedures governing an arbitration.
A written agreement to arbitrate is binding, even if the remainder of the contract is invalid. References to international arbitration organisations and their procedural rules are binding. The Saudi Arabian courts must decline to hear cases which are subject to an agreement to arbitrate, provided the motion for dismissal is filed before other substantive or procedural arguments are raised before the court.
The new Regulations permits commercial arbitrations to be conducted abroad, in a language other than Arabic, and under substantive or procedural laws other than Saudi Arabian law, while having same effect as a domestic arbitration, provided that the parties have agreed that the arbitration is subject to the new Regulation. The Regulation provides that arbitral awards which are made in accordance with its rules may not be appealed in any form. However, an application for nullity of an award may be lodged with the competent court, for example because of procedural defects or failure to apply the rules of law governing the arbitration. The courts may also strike down an award if it is contrary to Islamic Law.
Enforcement of foreign judgments and foreign arbitral awards
Saudi Arabia ratified in 1999 the Arab Convention on Judicial Cooperation of 1983. Prior thereto, Saudi Arabia was a party to the Arab League Treaty on the Enforcement of Judgments of 1952, which was superseded by the 1983 Convention.
Until 14th February 2013 applications for the executions of foreign judgments and arbitration awards had to go before the Board of Grievances. Under the new Execution Regulation, Royal Decree No. M/53 of 13th Sha'ban 1433 Hejra corresponding to 14th July 2012 Gregorian, applications for the execution of foreign judgments and arbitration awards must be lodged with an Execution Judge. The office of Execution Judge is relatively new, having been created by the Judiciary Regulation, Royal Decree No. M/78 of 19th Ramadan 1428 Hejra corresponding to 1st October 2007 Gregorian.
In Judgment No. 4/D/F/20 of 1992 the Board of Grievances ruled that a judgment of the English High Court of Justice was not enforceable on the basis of reciprocity in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and that the only judgments which are enforceable in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the basis of reciprocity are judgments of countries who (a) are party to a treaty or convention for the reciprocal enforcement of judgments to which Saudi Arabia is also a party, or (b) whose authorities will give executive force to judgments of the courts of Saudi Arabia without the requirement of instituting an action on the judgment. Although there is no system of judicial precedent in Saudi Arabia, it is doubtful whether the Board of Grievances would reach today a different conclusion on similar facts, particularly because the judgment in question was made following a ruling of the Board of Grievances Review Panel.
In Judgment 78/D/F/20 of 2007, the Board of Grievances ruled that a judgment of the US District Court for the District of Columbia in the USA is enforceable in Saudi Arabia. In the course of the proceedings the applicant had filed, among other things, a sworn statement by an American judge to the effect that the District of Columbia enforces judgments of the Saudi Arabian courts. Accordingly, the key distinction between the two judgments is that the applicant in Judgment No. 4/D/F/20 of 1992 could not prove that the English authorities will give executive force to judgments of the courts of Saudi Arabia without the requirement of instituting an action on the judgment, whereas the applicant in Judgment 78/D/F/20 of 2007 was able to prove that the authorities of the District of Columbia will give effect to a Saudi Arabian judgment.
In 1993 Saudi Arabia ratified the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards 1958 (New York Convention), with effect from 18th July 1994, subject to a special reservation that no foreign arbitral award will be enforced in Saudi Arabia if it is deemed contrary to the public policy of Saudi Arabia. The Implementing Rules of the Execution Regulation provide this to mean that no award will be recognized and enforced in Saudi Arabia if it conflicts with Islamic Law. For example, any part of an award which is for interest will be disregarded by the Execution Judges because of the strict prohibition of interest under Islamic Law. Apart from this clear example, there are numerous "grey areas", where arguments that a foreign arbitral award may conflict with Islamic Law can be raised.
