Additional information about the name Nikita:
Nikita comes from various sources and as such had different meanings associated with it. In its original masculine form it is Russian in origin and said to mean 'Undefeated'. It is however a more feminine sounding name and as such it has been used in different languages as one. It became especially popular as a girl's name after a French film called 'La Femme Nikita' was produced in the 90's. There was then an America TV program based on it and this lead to its popularity in the States. It also finds routes in from a Sanskrit word meaning 'Earth' and is used as a name for both sexes in India.

Realistic AI? Not Possible Now;
New Videos of Neurons say "Forget It!"
Two new videos have just appeared in the prestigious journal Science.
The first is an animation showing the incredible level of detail at the synapse.
The second video, based on hundreds of electron micrographs stitched together,
shows the impossibly complex ultrastructure of the neuropil: the impenetrable forest
surrounding synapses.
The key question is how much of that fine detail must be modeled
to replicate the brain's performance. My guess is that much more is required
than is accounted for in current brain-inspired AI models.

Creamed Pearl Onions
- 3 lb white pearl onions
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 5 whole cloves
- About 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Blanch onions in a large pot of boiling water 2 minutes, then drain and peel.
Heat butter in a deep 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook onions, stirring occasionally, until golden in patches, about 8 minutes. Add sugar, salt, cloves, and enough water to cover onions and simmer, covered, until onions are tender but not falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes. Boil onions, uncovered, until liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes more.
Stir in cream and simmer, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Discard cloves, then season with salt and pepper. Stir in parsley just before serving.
Cooks' notes:
·Onions can be blanched and peeled 2 days ahead and chilled, covered.
·Creamed pearl onions can be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Reheat in a heavy saucepan over low heat, or in a microwave, stirring occasionally.

Xvideo is better than running RGB through the X server, for sure, but better still is to send the uncompressed stream all the way to the Sun Ray. We already have H264 and MPEG-2 decoders in the firmware using a new X extension (Xvenc) that facilitates that. In addition, there's a JPEG decoder that we use for the Flash acceleration in SRSS 4.2, but it's only available from Windows, and only using IE. Our primary focus is on providing better video from remote Windows, since that's really what most of our customers use. I don't know what the status of plugins for mplayer using these features is. > I would love to see support for hardware decoding for Solaris sessions > though, preferably using one of the "standard" existing protocols that I > mentioned in a thread not too long ago. That way at least ordinary videos > can play well, and maybe even Flash when played through mplayer if it uses a > codec that can be decoded on the Ray. That's a matter of tying the video players into our new protocol enhancements to use the existing Sun Ray capabilities. Performance of those will be improved, as we acquire the ability to use the hardware decoding capabilities of the Sun Ray's graphics chip. The difficulty over the years has been getting the graphics chip vendors to give us enough information (or the required driver code) to make use of the advanced features of the graphics chip. We now have a vendor who's willing to work with us so that we can now do that. Kent

PAWTUCKET – The Pawtucket Red Sox can clinch first place in the I.L. North tonight with a victory over Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and a Lehigh Valley loss.
The PawSox own a two-game lead plus a tiebreaker advantage over Lehigh Valley, which has lost its last four games. Pawtucket has dropped its last two to Rochester. There are four games left in the regular season.
The PawSox will send Matt Fox (9-4, 4.04 ERA) to the mound tonight against Scranton's Adam Warren (6-7, 3.57).
On Saturday night, Scranton sends hot prospect Manny Banuelos (2-2, 3.03) against Pawtucket's Tony Pena Jr. (9-6, 3.40). That game will start at 6:05 p.m. Banuelos threw a 7-inning 1-hit shutout against Pawtucket on Monday night in the first game of a doubleheader.
The Yankees did Pawtucket a huge favor earlier this week by taking three straight games from Lehigh Valley.
If the season were to end today, the PawSox would meet either Gwinnett or Lehigh Valley in the Governors' Cup semi-finals. Both of those teams hold identical 76-64 records with four games left in the regular season.
At this point Game 1 would be at the wild-card winner's field next Wednesday at 7:05 pm. Gwinnett is the top farm team of the Atlanta Braves. The Braves boast the International League's best pitcher in Julio Teheran, who won both Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Pitcher awards for the 2011 season.
Teheran is 15-3 but was hit for 6 runs in 3 innings during Thursday night's loss to Norfolk. The IL wild card winner hosts the IL North champion (right now the PawSox) for Games 1 & 2 of the playoffs before the North champ is home for Games 3-5 (which would be at McCoy from Sept. 9-11) with the final two games if necessary in the best of 5 series.
If the PawSox win the division and host the final three games they would be September 9 at 7:05 p.m. and the if-necessary games would be on Sept. 10 (6:05 pm) and Sept. 11 (1:05 pm).
If Pawtucket advances to the Governors' Cup Finals against either Columbus (the IL West winner) or Durham (the likely IL South winner) then Games 1 & 2 would be away on September 13 and 14 before the PawSox would be home for the final three games (the last two if necessary) from September 15-17 at McCoy (at 7:05 pm, 7:05 pm and 6:05 pm respectively).

Welcome to this carbon footprint calculator created by Santa Clara University students Samantha Juda '13, Christina Lesnick '13 and Tim Vierengel '13.The Gang, as they came to be known, began work on this calculator while studying as first-year students with Professor Sherry Booth of the SCU English Department and the Sustainable Living Undergraduate Research Project program. The Gang then won an Environmental Ethics Fellowship at the Markkula Center at Applied Ethics and, for the '10-'11 academic year, worked as fellows to brainstorm, create, design, and complete the calculator. Lindsey Cromwell Kalkbrenner, the Director of SCU's Office of Sustainability, provided invaluable assistance. So, too, did tech whiz Antony Setiawan, a grad student in Information Systems at SCU without whose creative and diligent help the project could never have been completed. The Environmental Ethics Fellowship is supported by a gift from John Casey, whose generosity and commitment to creating a better world have been great inspirations behind this project.
"Live simply so that others may simply live." – Mahatma Gandhi
My name is Samantha Juda and I am a communication and environmental studies double major at Santa Clara University. I am originally from the small town of Sedona,
Arizona, which is the main reason why I love our earth. The mountains around my house showed me how truly wonderful the environment is, and made sustainability important
to me at a young age – as my brother and I used to spend hours exploring in the wilderness. The communications side of me combined with my environmentalist point of
view leads me to an interest in Environmental Journalism – especially magazine design, and I plan to work for an environmental magazine. Using my experience being
design editor and a photographer for The Santa Clara (the school's newspaper), I helped design our calculator - which I hope you enjoy. Of course, I
also helped Christina and Tim with the research for the project. Together we made many important decisions of what to include for you, all in the process of creating
the most accurate carbon calculator for the life of a Santa Clara Bronco. When I'm not busy working for the school paper, or doing homework, I enjoy training for
triathlons, being outside, watching movies, traveling, and hanging out with my friends.
"for we will not fight to save what we do not love"
My name's Christina Lesnick and I am currently a sophomore computer science major from Hollister, California. I wanted to get involved in this project because it incorporated my two loves: math and mother nature. When I'm not crunching numbers, I can be found around campus living the life of an over-stressed, sleep-deprived college student. So here are a few interesting facts about me:
Although a proponent for sustainability I still have my moments of weakness when it comes to hunting down a compost bin (truthfully interesting).
I was a SLURPer my freshman year and loved it (VERY interesting).
In my free time I practice yoga, ice skate, rock climb, and jog (moderately interesting).
Nicholas Cage is too a good actor (controversially interesting).
But in all seriousness I hope that the calculator captures your life as a college student and makes you aware of the impact of your choices. This project has allowed me to fight to save what I love.
Current Bronco Hoofprint: 7563.639 kg CO2e/school year
Small deeds done are better than great deeds planned.
My name is Tim Vierengel and I am a sophomore history and economics double major at Santa Clara University. I am originally from the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia, but have spent a considerable portion of my life on the west coast in the East Bay. As a child my dad would always keep my siblings and I outdoors by taking us fishing and camping whenever he possibly could. This has allowed me to enjoy the wonders of the wilderness throughout my life, and is the main reason I am working toward keeping it clean and beautiful. Playing sports as a child also contributed to my daily outdoor routine, and I have continued playing sports to this day, as I am a collegiate rugby player for Division I Santa Clara Men's Rugby. I fill my free time by just hanging out with all my friends and occasionally day trading in the stock market. As for my participation in this project I was responsible for the research portions, putting my history major to good use, and occasionally helped Christina with the conversions. No one group member was responsible for all the big decisions on what to include and exclude. We started and finished the project as a team.

- Description
Are you ready to make comfort a piece of cake? With its sugary-sweet nostalgic cupcake print and roomy, easy fit, the Frankie & Johnny bSoft Flannel Cupcakes Lounger Pajamas are the kind of sleepwear we all loved growing up. But the sweetest thing about this lounger set isn't the way it looks: it's the way it feels. Bamboo blends have become an increasingly popular fabric choice for a great reason. Often compared to a mixture of cashmere and silk, this particular combination (bamboo, rayon and cotton) is unbelievably soft to the touch. This rich, plush fiber remains snugly and soothing, while wicking moisture away from the skin, helping your body regulate its temperature. That means you won't be too warm in the summer and you'll be nice and cozy in the winter.
This set buttons up the front and includes two convenience pockets, making it ideal for lounging. The pant adjusts with an elastic drawstring for an easy, custom fit with no digging in and no fasteners to fuss with. And because everyday wear should equal easy care, this set is machine washable! If you're looking for loungewear that's cute and comfortable all year round, try Frankie & Johnny, because in their bSoft Flannel Cupcakes Lounger Pajama, you can have your cake and wear it too.

Product Details
Our take on the time-tested Chelsea boot in supple Italian leather that will just get better with age. A true boot icon first designed in the early 1800s in England, it has been favored by everyone from Queen Victoria to '60s-era London mods. Great news considering they will never go out of style. Please note: When you select your size below, "H" equals a half size.
The Chelsea Boot
Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Zoee These are amazing. I have people asking about these shoes all the time. They were out of my price range and I was lucky to find an extra coupon so I could afford them. They run a little small so I had to return them for half size up. Totally worth it. June 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by nyc33 Chic and stylish with no effort My style is basically a uniform of a cardigan, Tshirt and jeans, and has been that way for years. Wearing these makes me feel 1000 times more stylish without having to actually dress up. I had to break the toes in a little first, but I have wide-ish feet. The elastic is also very tight at first, but after awhile, it loosens the perfect amount. Once these were broken in, perfection. I've worn them every day for 4 months, and I'm starting to worry I'm going to ruin them before they get another year! I think I need to get the other color. March 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Louwho My 3rd pair! This quality is hard to find. It is tough in this age to find true quality boots. Though typically out of my price range, I purchases the tan Chelsea boot and wore it extensively. I then purchased the taller boot with extended calf and that is a beaut too! Often when I was dressing I would think.. "Now, if I just had the Chelsea in black I could wear it today." It goes with so much and I am complemented on it often on EACH wear. These are lifers for me. February 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Michelle53 Great all-around boot This is an amazing boot, adorable with skinny jeans, skirts and dresses. I have wore these boots nearly every day since receiving them and receive compliments every where I go. I do have wide feet, so they feel a bit narrow thru the toes, so if you are between sizes, I would choose a size up. They are still comfortable enough to wear all day. The only thing I would change is to add a zipper for easier entry into the boot. Otherwise, love. January 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Katelyn22 Classics. A wardrobe staple. These boots are beautiful. They look great dressed up or down and are pretty comfortable. They have an effortlessly chic look, which is nice and have definitely become my go-to boot. My only complaint is that they look really big. I wear a size 8 which usually looks like a pretty normal sized shoe, but for some reason these look like they could almost be mens shoes. It doesn't bother me too much, but I imagine it would probably bother some people. January 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by EmilyGraeme Great knock-arounds! I adore these boots, they're so beautiful and well priced. I sized a half size down and, while the toe box was snug at first, the leather gave just enough to be perfect after a day's wear. I would highly recommend these boots and will probably be getting them in back as well. January 8, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by opaz2013 Based on looks, its appearance is appealing The front portion of the boot - shape/cut is very low as almost flat. And while sizing (front to back) is accurate for you, the front/top area of your toes/foot is compromised. Our daughter got blisters all across the top of all her 5-toes & on both feet. February 5, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Mary17 Too masculine The boot is beautifully made, but for my taste, and having a larger sized foot the style of the boot was too masculine. Very wide around the ankle and inner sole and too long and pointy and the end. January 9, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by rgmerc Uneven!! I have been looking for a pair of chelsea boots for quite some time - so I was so happy to find these on sale. However, when I received them, both boots were uneven!! Literally, uneven. When I put the boots on, the heels were not flush to the floor. Needless to say, I have returned them. Very very disappointed June 4, 2013

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Two weekends ago I was helping my son move, when I noticed a painting sitting against the wall that I had given him that had hung in my mother's house many years ago. As I looked at it I realized that the back of the painting was breaking through the paper on the frame and the scene on it, obviously a mountain view of the Grand Tetons, was getting duller and duller as dirt accumulated on the canvas.
"Are you going to take this with you," I asked him. He told me he wasn't sure.
"You know my sister and I bought that painting for my mother when I was probably about 10 or 11 years old," I said. "I remember how beautiful it looked in the store when we bought it. I was entranced by that mountain scene. I didn't have any idea at the time that mountain was in Wyoming, but I loved it. Your grandmother loved that painting."
"I didn't know that you had bought it for her," he said. "I'm glad you told me about it. I'll make sure it gets hung up then."
It was a small hint to me that my kids knew much less than I thought they did about my past life with my parents. It also made me think about the situation with my own parents and how few things I really knew about their lives before I came along.
When my father died three years ago I finally inherited all the photo albums and loose photos, documentation on his business and family papers that I hadn't absorbed into my office filing cabinets when my mother had passed away 15 years before. There was a lot more left in his house and various very interesting materials I had never seen popped up as well.
Some things were easy to place; letters to the landlord of the farm my dad and his brothers operated for 50 years, account books with prices for the sale of eggs, cows, hay and grain from the 1940's and various other papers such as the sales receipt from the purchase of 1939 Packard by one of my uncles bought new.
But regardless of how well things were documented and labeled, there was something missing; the direct connection with my parents telling me about each thing. Each item told part of a story, but not all of it. For instance there was recorded in one of the account books the sale of a prize bull to another farmer who lived in of all places Carbon County (despite the fact that my parents lived in Murray in that year of 1947). Since I have been living in this county for almost 20 years it would have been interesting to know to whom they sold that bull and where it went. Who knows, maybe some of the livestock I pass driving through Wellington or Miller Creek is the off spring of that animal.
The point is that if I had known these books and papers existed when my father was alive, I would have gotten him to talk about them and tell me some detail. But now he is gone and so are the memories attached to simple things like this. For me it is a tragedy, a loss, something I can never replace.
With the inheritance of all this stuff I came to the realization that there was so much I never knew about my parents, particularly when it comes to things that happened before I was born.
On a recent trip to Dallas, Texas to visit my sister, I was able to piece together some things I didn't know because she is eight years older than I am and she remembers things I, of course, never knew. But my other sister, who was even older, passed away not long before my father, and her help would have been invaluable. So for the last couple of years I have been trying to piece together my parents lives and put down on paper some of the things they experienced and did.
The baby boomers are now loosing their parents in vast numbers. Yet so many of us are caught in the vice of just living life that we sometimes don't think about what we may be missing in terms of history when our parents are gone. And many of those parents are also losing their memories to diseases that affect the mind. At one point a parent may be lucid and remember the littlest detail of something and the next minute they can't remember their own name. In some ways this is worse than death when it comes to finding out family history because while people with normal minds often can't recall exact details of an experience, people affected by disease sometimes find themselves remembering things that never happened.
That's why those who have parents that are still alive need to work with their parents on what memories they can preserve.
Any kind of recorded history is helpful, but in my estimation, working with our family background, and having interviewed and told the stories of hundreds of people over the years, it is best to use every kind of recorded history a person can find. That includes video, audio, writing and even oral histories. Video and audio give the truth as to the persons story as they tell it orally, but with research added into the stories, the written record can give posterity even more information that can be made into a real story at some point.
But where should a person begin? It can be overwhelming. But I can tell you from experience it is much more overwhelming to look through boxes of unlabeled photos and papers written 70 years ago without someone to give narration to them, than it is to hear the rights story from the horses mouth, so to speak. Here are some ideas for beginning a living parents history project.
â¢Keeping real memory notes for later review. Ask your parent to start to write down key words of memories they have as they live their lives. If you think back about your own life it is hard to recall everything at once, but one day you may be driving down the road or standing in a grocery store and something reminds you of an experience you had at one time. Your parents experience the same thing. Maybe even supply them with a digital audio recorder they can carry around and use to make verbal notes so they don't have to write things down. The note pad or recorder isn't for the whole story, but for key elements and dates so when you review what they have placed there, you can ask questions and have them tell the entire story.
â¢Memory starts. Often when I interview people about their lives, they say they think they haven't done much or have nothing interesting to tell. In all the hundreds of interviews I have conducted with people in my work as a journalist I have only found once or twice that the tale was so dull that I couldn't make a real story out of it. I find that there are a number of ways to get memories to start working when I have someone who seems to be stymied about telling details about their past. I ask them about photos they have sitting around, trophies on the fireplace mantle, or items that are obviously treasured placed around their house. Since they are family you can ask parents to bring out old papers or certificates; you can even get them to let you dig for things.
â¢Photos seem an obvious window to the past, but they can often be misleading. I have photos from the 1920's and 1930's that are unlabeled. Some are very good. Some have my parents in, others they have friends with them in the photos. Some are of people that I have never seen before. Starting in the late 1950's my mother got her first easy-to-use camera and she loved taking photos. These are snapshots from a little brownie camera, but they still capture life as it was. Problem is there are no dates, times, places or even names on many of them. She took hundreds of photos of her flower beds, but I don't know anything about them or when they were taken. Why was it important to her to take these photos? A photographer's motivation is important to know. Suggestion? Spend some time once a month with parents and go through old photos and identify them before it is too late. Get the proper marking pens (ones that don't damage the photos) and write on the back of them. Photos need to be well taken care of too. Use acid free storage systems because many photos have been destroyed by being placed in albums which either damage them or by the glue that has been used to attach them to pages. Best of all digitize as many photos as you can and keep extra copies on CD's or DVD's in a couple of places in case of a disaster. Digitizing is particularly important if the photos are Polaroids or of low grade processing quality. Polaroids from as recent as the 1980's are already beginning to yellow and fade in most people's collections.
Photos will also set off a flood of memories. Remember to at least take notes, and if possible record the stories your parents tell about the photos. Also note in some way which photo started the memory flow.
â¢A more formal way of having parents take notes is to give them a fill-in-the-blank memory book. Many people don't believe they can write anything very well. These books can give them a structure from which to work. Some books focus on various events in life (holidays, marriages, baptisms) while others are more general. The senior who doesn't think they have done much might change their mind if they are told that this could be a valuable thing for the grand kids to have. So when in doubt use grandchildren as a weapon.
â¢Use genealogy to prompt memories. Genealogy is not necessarily a religious thing, but a history of the family. Even a simple family tree can set off stories. My father used to tell me about his Uncle Sam who was a fireman on a train in England, and who was killed when the train ran off a track into the Thames River. That came from a painting of my ill fated uncle we now have hanging in our house, but when that name got mentioned anytime my dad had stories about him.
â¢Traditional foods or recipes. Nothing gets someone talking faster about the past than food that they love. Why is the roast on Sunday at noon a tradition? Has the family always gone on a picnic with fried chicken on the Fourth of July? Where did that traditional pastry mom makes on Christmas come from? Talk about food and the memories will flow.
Life without parents, no matter what your age, is hard. But it is even harder when you can't recall information or have some record of their lives to pass on. What everyone does in their life is important in this world, and what they accomplished should not be forgotten.

Re: DC's New 52: Reviews and Discussion (Spoilers welcolme and likely)
I have a few theories for the identity of Earth 2's new Batman:
1) It's Terry Sloan with some new scheme up his sleeve.
2) The suit is actually heavily padded and this is where they finally decided to stick Stephanie Brown.
3) In this world where Bruce and Selina did really get together, and there now is no Batman, who else would pick up the mantle but the kid from 3rd Rock From the Sun? John Blake is the new Batman.
If any of these end up happening I have officially called it here.
You all laugh when I look at boxes and talk about robot costumes. Robots, my friends, are no laughing matter.

Roman university announces chair for study of Pope Paul VI
Catholic World News - May 18, 2012
Rome's Libera Università Maria SS. Assunta (LUMSA) has announced the establishment of a faculty chair for Pope Paul VI.
At a May 18 press conference announcing the new post, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, the former prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, said that it is appropriate to study the influence of the late Pontiff because "Pope Montini was one of the great protagonists of the 20th century." The cardinal said that Pope Paul's "expert and sure hand" was essential to the work of Vatican II. "There are few like him who have known how to read the anxieties, the worries, the desires, and the weariness of the human being in our days," Cardinal Re said.
The Paul VI chair at LUMSA will be devoted to historical research, including a study of the late Pope's role in founding the Italian Federation of Catholic Universities and his work with relief efforts—especially with Jewish refugees—during and immediately after World War II.

The son of two famous stage magicians, Max Flash is himself a great escape artist, contortionist and illusionist. These very qualities prompt his parents' true employer, the Department for Extraordinary Activity (DFEA) to recruit him for a special assignment. In Game On, Max's first mission is to close the portal between the video game world (Virtuals' world) and the real world (Gamers' world) before the Virtuals take over. With the use of a special USB gadget, Max is thrust into the Virtual world via a computer hard drive. His task is to locate the escaped Virtual, Deezil, and close the portal between the two worlds. As he travels from game to game looking for the portal and the evil Deezil, Max must avoid race cars, battle centurions and flee farmers in his quest to save the Gamer world. Relying only on his own cunning and special skills (and some nifty gadgets from the DFEA), Max defies death and suppresses the Virtual uprising before returning home.
The first in the Max Flash series by Jonny Zucker, Game On is a fast paced adventure and the start of a fabulous series for young readers. Max's further missions will have him battling aliens in space, robots in a parallel universe, an Egyptian curse, and mysterious beings in the Antarctic. With original stories, a likable hero and short, action-filled chapters, Max Flash is an all-around great read. Fans of the television series Phineas and Ferb will enjoy this series for its quirky storylines and action-packed heroic adventures.

Serious fire danger in and around New Mexico continues to put a damper on outdoor activities this Father's Day.
Santa Fe National Forest, which surrounds Los Alamos County, is still under Stage II fire restrictions. Stage II restrictions, which went into effect June 10, puts prohibitions on using campfires or stove fires, fireworks and smoking in the forest, as well as prohibiting the use of all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles and other types of vehicles. In May, the forest went to Stage I restrictions.
Valles Caldera National Preserve is also under Stage II restrictions. Bandelier National Monument hasn't announced any specific fire restrictions.
Santa Fe, Lincoln National Forest and Gila National Forest are all under severe restrictions due to drought conditions in New Mexico.
Due to extreme conditions, Lincoln National Forest, covering the south-central part of the state, is currently closed to all activity. Gila National Forest, in southwest New Mexico, is also under Stage II restrictions and the Quail Ridge Fire that burned in early March in the area destroyed 13 homes and 60 other structures.

On December 10, the Colorado Attorney General (AG) announced a lawsuit against a debt buyer and its principal for allegedly engaging in fraudulent conduct in attempting to collect charged-off debt purchased from two national banks. The complaint also names two debt collection companies to whom the debt buyer resold some of the debt acquired from the banks. The AG asserts that all three companies routinely used false affidavits to collect on the debt.
The complaint scrutinizes the agreements pursuant to which the banks transferred the charged-off debt to the debt buyer. The AG states that the agreements limited the information the banks were obligated to provide to the buyer, requiring it to purchase evidence of the debt from the banks as needed. If the buyer requested documents that the banks could not locate, the banks agreed to provide affidavits attesting to the validity of such debts.
According to the complaint, the debt buyer sought to maximize its profits by using such affidavits and other materials provided by the banks to fabricate similar documents. It then allegedly used those false materials to collect debts from Colorado consumers, or provided the fabricated materials to the debt collectors to whom it had resold some of the debt. The complaint notes that neither of the two debt collectors "had policies or procedures for the evaluation of the validity or accuracy of account documentation that they received regarding debt that they purchased or sought to collect on."
The AG claims that the creation, use, and distribution of the false bank documents violated the Colorado Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. The AG also claims the debt buyer conducted collection activities in the state without obtaining a license, in violation of the state licensing law. The complaint seeks, among other things, civil penalties, actual damages, restitution, and disgorgement of all profits from the allegedly unlawful activities.

The Memphis Grizzlies hosted the Annual Holiday Toy Drive on Sunday, a wonderful event where the franchise reinforces its admirable involvement with the community once again. The Toy Drive benefited Le Bonheur's Children Hospital and provided a great opportunity for people all around the city to not only give back but to also meet their favorite Grizzlies players and coaches.
As a reward for bringing an unwrapped gift to donate to Toys for Tots, the fans were given a chance to get as many autographs as their hearts desired. The turn out was tremendous and the event was an overwhelming success. Before the Grizzlies even arrived, long lines were already forming and the fans were buzzing with anticipation. Posters of players were handed out for free, and basketballs were offered for people standing in line. The Claw Crew was also roaming through the hallways, entertaining the younger kids as everyone patiently waited for the Grizzlies. When elevator doors opened and the first group of players stepped out, the excitement bubbled over into a frenzy.
One of the best parts of events like this is seeing the diversity of people that come out to support the Grizzlies and Toys for Tots. Fans of all ages, races and genders came to see the team and donate toys. It really showed how the Memphis Grizzlies franchise has touched the lives of so many in the community.
Another great thing about the Toy Drive was it allowed for fans to see Marc Gasol again. You could definitely tell how badly everyone has missed Big Spain when you saw the amount of people in line for his autograph. A lot of the anxiety about this season has stemmed from Gasol's injury, and once people were able to see him sporting his big smile, it soothed some of the uneasiness.
As always, the players and coaches were very personable, patient, and genuinely grateful for the fans who came out to take part in the Toy Drive. It may sound trite, but you could feel the "christmas spirit" in the air with the players smiling, laughing, and everyone truly enjoying themself.
When the autograph lines were beginning to be closed down, the event continued in other ways. Fans who stayed a little while longer were able to catch Quincy Pondexter and Nick Calathes roaming about near the Fedex Forum's entrance. Calathes stopped to talk with some fans and gladly took pictures with them. Pondexter also took pictures with those who asked and answered questions fans may have had for him.
Overall, the Grizzlies Annual Holiday Toy Drive was a great success. It brought everyone such joy to see #GrizzNation give back and the players and coaches were so thankful. After going to this event, it is easy to see why the Memphis Grizzlies were voted the #1 Franchise in all sports by ESPN Magazine. Having the community and team come together like it did was a wonderful sight to see and really shows what a special organization we have here in Memphis.

SRAM X9 TYPE 2 Rear DerailleurThe SRAM X9 TYPE 2 rear derailleur is truly a marvelous thing. There aren't many upgrades that can make an immediate impact on the overall performance of your drivetrain, but with increased chain security, reduced noise and the ability to make wheel removal/insertion much easier, that's exactly what SRAM has done. SRAM's 1:1 Exact Actuation (shifter cable travel : derailleur movement) delivers precise and dependable 10-speed performance and a focused chassis design lends its use to all conditions and handling. TYPE 2 lets you push your cage forward and lock it into place with the push of a button. This removes all tension from the chain for easy wheel and chain removal and installation.
The X9 TYPE 2 eliminates derailleur bounce and chain slap without sacrificing precision. It features Roller Bearing Clutch technology, where a one-way roller clutch controls chain tension which results in consistent shifting. This friction keeps the cage from bouncing up and down over rocky trails and de-tensioning the chain. It is self-lubricating and maintenance free for consistently smooth action. The TYPE 2's 360 degree clutch force comes factory calibrated by SRAM for a balanced feel.
At only 250 grams, the SRAM X9 TYPE 2 rear derailleur is engineered to both lightweight and to endure on even the most technical of trails.
- Exact Actuation for precise and dependable 10-speed performance
- Focused chassis design for all conditions and usage
- 250g (medium cage)

From High School to the United States Senate
Published: March 6, 2014
This weekend, two Minnesota students will get a taste of what it's like to hold one of the highest elected offices in the country: that of a US Senator. High School Seniors Tim Bergeland and Priyanka Narayan will fly out Washington DC this weekend to participate in the 2014 United States Senate Youth Program.
Established in 1962, the United States Senate Youth Program offers high school students from across the nation with a unique look into careers in public service. Each year, two student leaders from each state, the District of Columbia and the Department of Defense Education Activity are sent to Washington DC to experience national government in action. They hear major policy addresses by Senators, cabinet members, officials from the Departments of State and Defense and directors of other federal agencies, and have the opportunity to participate in a meeting with a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Each delegate also receives a $5,000 College Scholarship for undergraduate studies, with encouragement to pursue coursework in history and political science. The program is made possible with support by the Hearst Foundations.
The 2014 United States Senate Youth Program delegates from Minnesota: Tim Bergeland and Priyanka Narayan.
Tim Bergeland, left, and Priyanka Narayan, right.
Tim Bergeland is a senior at Hopkins High School who has a strong passion for politics. He has been involved in student government since seventh grade and served as a student representative to the Hopkins School Board for the past three years. Tim was elected president of the National Honor Society and captain of the varsity soccer team and is a co-creator and leader of "Project Focus," a student club dedicated to fighting against socioeconomic injustice in Minnesota. He plans to go on to study political science, focusing on international relations or international development. Tim is humbled to be selected as one of Minnesota's delegates for the United States Senate Youth Program and is looking forward to learning more about the inner workings of our federal government in March.
Priyanka Narayan is a senior at Wayzata High School who has been on the board of directors for the Indian Association of Minnesota since her sophomore year. She has been captain of the policy debate team at Wayzata for the past two years, helping her team earn its national ranking. She is also heavily involved with science research and is a nationally renowned classical and contemporary Indian dancer. Last year she was an International Intel Science and Engineering Fair finalist.

Facts about Somalia
Bilateral assistance million kroner
Bilateral assistance million kroner
Bilateral assistance million kroner
Somalia was without a unified central government from the fall of the government in 1991 until the summer of 2012, when the transitional period in Somalia formally ended with the election of a new president in September. That same autumn, a separate constitutional assembly provisionally adopted a new constitution which is to be reviewed by the parliament, after which it is to be adopted by referendum when the security situation permits. The hope is that this will take place by the end of 2016.
The new parliament was also inaugurated in August 2012, and Norwegian-Somalian Mohamed Osman Jawari was elected Speaker. Fourteen per cent of the members of parliament are women.
On 10 September 2012, the academic Hassan Sheikh Mohamud was appointed by parliament as the country's president and the businessman Abdi Farah Shirdon became the new prime minister. A government of only ten ministers, two of which are women, was ratified by parliament in November 2012. The Transitional Federal Government also has an even clan distribution with the four main clans (Hawiye, Darood, Dir and Digil-Mirifle) and the small clans (together), each represented by two ministers.
The newly elected Somalian leadership represents a shift in Somalian politics and provides grounds for a moderate degree of optimism. The expectations are high, but the capacity of the government is low. The president has presented his own six-point plan with an emphasis on political stabilization, national unity, economic reconstruction, peacebuilding, delivery of basic services, and an improvement in Somalia's foreign relations.
The 2012 election resulted in a new impetus for international engagement, and the federal government provides some hope of political stability. Under the principles of the New Deal, by which weak and vulnerable states are to have greater ownership of the country's development and could include international donors and UN activities in their national plans, an agreement was ratified in Brussels in September 2013. This now represents the basis for cooperation between the international community and the Somalian government.
Corruption and financial control
In the first instance, there will be a strong emphasis on short-term initiatives with measurable and visible effects for the population, such as health centres, and on initiating the painstaking work of national institution building. The government wishes to increasingly take the lead in the planning and implementation of internationally funded interventions. This requires strengthening Somalia's national institutions, combating corruption, and financial control, as well as mechanisms to reinforce Somalian participation in all areas.
The African Union's (AU's) peacekeeping force AMISOM has been in Somalia since 2007. The security situation in Somalia varies from region to region, and within regions, with the conflict now dominated by the security and terror threat from the extremist organization al-Shabaab. In addition to reconciliation and dialogue, the economic foundation for state building is critical: a revenue basis must be established and a fiscal policy developed. It is improbable that the international community will fund Somalian authorities over time unless there are prospects of socioeconomic sustainability.
The situation for women in Somalia is especially difficult. Violence is widespread and throughout 2013 a sharp increase was reported in the number of rapes. Internally displaced girls and women are particularly exposed to this. More than 95 per cent of women in Somalia are thought to have been subjected to female genital mutilation, and marriage to minors is still widespread.
Somalia was severely affected by drought and famine in 2011. For the first time in several decades, the UN declared a state of famine in the worst affected regions. This is the most serious category that the UN uses, and it means that at least two people per 10,000 are dying of hunger each day, and that at least 30 per cent of children under five are undernourished. UN statistics for 2013 show that more than 1.1 million Somalians are still internally displaced. Due to drought, the situation in large parts of the country is generally precarious. This leads to a shortage of food and water, especially in the conflict-torn southern and central parts of the country.
Norwegian aid to Somalia
Norwegian development aid to Somalia increased substantially in 2013, and Norwegian aid effectiveness calls for flexibility, willingness to take risks and an understanding of the political power battle in Somalia. However, development work is difficult and the country is still marked by war and conflict: Norwegian Church Aid and the Norwegian Refugee Council are among the Norwegian actors who have worked in Somalia for many years, and in addition to these organizations, UNDP and Somalian authorities are among Norway's main partners.
Somalia is reviewing its provisional constitution and preparing for elections in 2016 – difficult processes that require close cooperation between international partners and Somalian authorities. Important goals for Norwegian engagement on development aid in the country are peace, stability and the growth of democracy. The tools to achieve this are support for the forces of moderation, contribution to legitimate political processes and the development of public services.
Norwegian priorities in Somalia:
- Reconstruction
- Good governance
- Capacity building
- Prevention of humanitarian disasters
- Peace and reconciliation
Given the weak capacity on the Somalian side, Somalian institutions need to be brought up to a minimum level. Norway prioritizes support to peacebuilding, trust-building activity and the establishment of core state functions through contributions to the UN and non-state actors. Such support includes:
- The Somalia Stability Fund: a multinational fund that gives priority to building the capacity of political institutions at central and regional level
- UNDP receives support for its work with access to justice, the police and environmental management, with the objective of increasing services provided by public authorities in all regions
- UNDP, ILO, UNEP, UNICEF and UN Habitat receive support for improvement of local governance and public services at district level, with the goal of increasing the quality and quantity of public services.
The Somali Compact was established in 2013 as a framework for how Somalia and the donor countries should work together for development over the next three years. An entirely new aid architecture is being established against the backdrop of the OECD "New Deal" principles for vulnerable states.
In 2013, the federal government in Mogadishu, members of parliament and civil society, with the UN and the EU as main donors, set up a high-level partnership forum to oversee the implementation of the Somali Compact, with peace and reconciliation as priority areas. The Norwegian Embassy participates in some of the working groups, and chairs the group working on national revenue.
Long-term development assistance
During 2013, the Norwegian Embassy's aid portfolio changed from one-year project agreements with smaller actors to contributions to funds and co-funding under the leadership of large international partners. Based on the Somali Compact, Norway signed multi-year agreements with the aim of being a predictable, long-term development partner.
In 2013, Norway also worked to establish a temporary international fund for reconstruction, the Special Financing Facility, which makes it possible to provide financial support to the authorities in Mogadishu.
There is widespread corruption in Somalia, and the fund has stringent control mechanisms to reduce the risk to the greatest possible extent. Norway has earmarked NOK 175 million for this fund over the next three years for development projects, capacity building and to ensure that public employees working in the administration receive regular salaries. If a nation is to be built from scratch, employees are needed, and employees need salaries.
The UNDP programme encompasses a wide geographic area (Puntland, Somaliland and Central Somalia) and a broad range of sectors (the justice sector, legal aid, environmental management, gender equality and budget management). An external review in 2013 found that the programme had relevance and represented a contribution to stability and reconciliation in Somalia. Norway also supports the National Democratic Institute (NDI) to reinforce political awareness and participation.
A review of the support to the NDI and UNDP noted that there is evidence that the NDI has contributed to the peaceful establishment of Somalia as a federal state. Due to lack of security, the NDI has adjusted and changed its goals over the period, making documentation of new results uncertain.
Norway provides support to experienced actors with a wide network related to peace and stability in Somalia. If this is to succeed, it is crucial that the population experiences the authorities to be visible and relevant, and in a position to deliver services. The ability to organize processes that include all parties and to conduct legitimate elections is a criterion for Norwegian funding. This funding is also based on a continuous effort being made to prevent a backlash and radicalization. The development work must therefore be seen in connection with humanitarian aid, combating terrorism, and peacekeeping forces.
Norwegian NGO´s
Norwegian non-governmental organizations receive a total of NOK 96 million for projects in Somalia in 2014. Key actors are the Norwegian Refugee Council, Norwegian Church Aid, ADRA, ICRCDigni and the Development Fund. Several smaller projects are also funded under the auspices of Norwegian-Somalian organizations.
The majority of projects are related to education and inclusive vocational training, while support is also given to projects concerning health, female genital mutilation, peacebuilding and agriculture.

Use green cream makeup. Use coconut oil to remove. Happy Halloween!!!
Originally posted 2012-10-31 12:13:38.
Q: Erika, thanks to your posts, I've accepted that I'm an emotional eater. I've stopped buying junk food and am getting my kids used to not having unhealthy snack food in the house. I just don't know what to do about Halloween! The kids love costumes, trick or treating and CANDY!!!! and I love to dress up and have my front yard decorated for the occasion… but most of all, I love to eat the candy while I'm waiting for the kids to come by!! This is a major blind spot for me, and I don't know what to do! Am I going to just ruin Halloween for my kids?
Read my text:
I hate Halloween.
I hate "ghouls." I hate "goblins." I hate rude entitled teenagers who think I'm required to give them candy or they have the right to egg my house. I hate having to spend my money on an outfit that will only be worn once, and it's actually considered a "sin" to wear it again! Y'all know I'm too cheap for all that.
Yes, I am the Scrooge of Halloween. I've accepted this about myself.
But, most of all, I hate the candy. It's always the worst crap candy, because no one is spending big bucks on "quality" candy to give away, and anything else is discouraged. It's actually frowned upon to give fruits or vegetables, lest the "razor blade in the apple" appear in your child's trick-or-treating bag. You can't give out baked goods, because you might be looked at as trying to poison someone's child. No, there's poison in those apple butter cookies… eat the crunch bar, instead. The irony.
People always say, "It's just one day! It's no big deal!" but to an emotional eater, "one day" can represent either a victory, or a setback (not a failure… language matters, here.) Sometimes, even, if you feel like the candy represents something that you are addicted to, you feel a sense of guilt for giving the stuff you won't eat to kids, only to worry about whether or not they're developing the same kind of candy addiction you might have. That might feel intense, or "too deep," but for some that's how it is.
The reality is, is that Halloween doesn't have to give you this kind of grief. No one has to give up their costumes, you don't have to quit decorating the house and you don't have to give up your good ghoulish cheer to enjoy yourself.
The candy feels like a problem because you don't want to eat it, and we all know that – despite everyone telling you to USE YOUR WILL POWER ROARRR!!!! – will power doesn't magically appear out of nowhere, especially when you've never used it before. It's not some magical part of your brain that you just have to tap into. It's a muscle that starts out weak and, only through training and patience, grows stronger.
But who said you have to give out candy at all? If those little gumball machines can give out plastic spiders, fake rings and little decks of cards and keep kids happy for decades, then so can you. Hit up a local party supplies store – the same place, presumably, where you're getting your home decorations – and pick up some bags of cheap toys and give those away instead. That way, you can still be festive and fun, but also avoid setting yourself back [and any accompanying guilt that goes along with giving what you won't eat out to neighborhood children.]
Oh, and I can hear you now:
"Erika, but what do I do about the candy my kids bring home?"
I'll tell you what I've always done with my daughter. Before Halloween approaches, I always scout out whatever little toy I know she's been eyeballing, and I keep talking it up to her. "You'd really love that giant stuffed Uniqua, wouldn't you? I knoooow you've wanted that Tag Reader, right? It looks awesome, doesn't it?"
Once she gets back from trick-or-treating, I let her get one piece of candy – her "favorite" piece – and as she's unwrapping it, I whip out the toy: "I'll let you have it, but you've got to give up all the Halloween candy." If I've played my cards right and picked the right toy, she hands it over easily. If not, and she tries to keep it, all it takes is a little "Awww, well, Uniqua will be so sad that she has to go back to the store. All lonely, with no friend to call her own." and she's sold. If you didn't get a toy in advance, you can always post-negotiate. I feel like you should be able to reason with a teenaged kid, and tell them straight up – "You know Mommy is trying to kick this food addiction I have, and having that candy in the house isn't helping. Let's make a trade – I'll buy you something nice if you agree to toss the candy out."- and, hopefully, your kid won't be a jerk. (Hey, I'm being honest. I love my little one, but she's a jerk sometimes, too.)
It's totally okay to want to be festive and fun [while spooking some kids out a bit, too] but you have to be just as accommodating of yourself and your needs as you want to be of others. Don't we deserve at least that much?
Now, pardon me, but I've got to go figure out how to turn my 'fro green so that my "head of broccoli" costume will be complete.

Use green cream makeup. Use coconut oil to remove. Happy Halloween!!!
Awesome post as usual! I roast pumpkin seeds and eat those so I'm not tempted by the candy I bought for trick or treaters. I don't buy too much but whatever doesn't get handed out goes away and only comes out in the candy dish at parties during November and December for guests.
Yesterday I passed out candy and had some left over…the reeses bage was literally talking to me! Thank you for this post! I was literally thinking about what you would do LOL! It took everything thing in me not to jus eat one, because I know that one will turn into two and by the end of the week, the entire bag!….Any advice on how to keep motivated for people who have not started to see results yet?
I had the wrong email at first! Thank you for your response!!! I just found your site this week and I cant get enough of it! You are an inspiration! The weight loss journey is by far the most difficult thing and you cant hide when you give up…There are sooo many questions and what should I eat, what should I do? Honestly thank you for the knowledge that you are sharing. You are helping so many people!

These higher than usual wool socks are good for keeping comfy in cool (down to 40s) temps. If it warms up they haven't felt too warm to me. They are thin but warmer than you'd expect. I've worn them 3-4 times and so far they feel great. US made in NC.

Libya: bishop calls for truce
Catholic World News - May 16, 2011
The apostolic vicar of Tripoli has renewed has call for a truce in the Libyan conflict.
"Yesterday, in Marsa [el-]Brega, 16 people died, and several were killed in other parts of Tripoli. The [NATO] bombs are still claiming victims," Bishop Giovanni Martinelli said on May 14. "A truce seems appropriate to help the civilians breathe again. Even last night there were several bombings, the strongest we heard around 3:00 a.m. They do not allow us to sleep."
"In prayer, we invoke the grace of peace and reconciliation," he added. "Certainly on one side and on the other there are sins to be forgiven, but you cannot forgive by throwing bombs."
