Director Ridley Scott is busy trying to find a female lead for his upcoming Alien Prequel, reportedly meeting with several actresses. The role has to be an exciting prospect for actresses, since starring in Scott's 1979 sci-fi classic, Alien certainly helped Sigourney Weaver's career.
Deadline reports that Scott has met with Carey Mulligan (Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps), Abbie Cornish (Scott's A Good Year), and Noomi Rapace (Swedish adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and its subsequent sequels). According to the report, Rapace made an impression on Scott, though no decision has been made for the role.
Should the Swedish actress land the Prequel role, it'll be her second English language role after being cast in Sherlock Holmes 2 in September. American audiences can see Rapace in The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, the last of the Swedish adaptations of author Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy, set for release on October 29. Watch Rapace in the Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest trailer below. (David Fincher is currently directing the American adaptation of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo).

text: I just read a great book called "Major" written by Todd Balf. It is the biography of Major Taylor one of the lesser known US cycling stars. It gives a good accounting of bicycle racing in the US when it was the top sport in the country. I highly suggest it for those days when want your cycling fix but the weather is not cooperating.

Zambia's parliament stripped former President Rupiah Banda of immunity from prosecution on Friday, clearing the way for investigators to arrest him for corruption-related offences.
Banda is accused of abuse of office, corrupt acquisition of public property and misappropriation of public funds involving more than $11 million during his tenure as president.
Justice Minister Wynter Kabimba said the government had concluded its investigations and were ready to prosecute.
"We bring this motion in the interest of the country," Kabimba said,
Banda was swept from office in 2011 by current President Michael Sata, whose government has launched several high-profile graft probes into deals struck by the former administration while it ran Africa's biggest copper-producing country.
Kabimba has accused Banda of siphoning $2.5 million from the treasury in a 2008 oil deal and the former president has also been accused of using public funds to finance his 2011 campaign.
Banda's lawyer Robert Amsterdam said in a statement that Friday's action in parliament was aimed at getting rid of political competitors.
Sata's government has already won convictions against a few Banda officials and has been investigating suspected shortfalls in tax collection revenues from copper.
In February, Banda who then enjoyed immunity from prosecution, refused to appear before a team of investigators, which summoned him for questioning on graft allegations.

Suddenly receiving excessive runt packets across multiple [7:86876] posted 04/06/2004
We suddenly starting experience network performance degradation and upon further inspection there were numerous ports which were connected to servers showing tons of runt packets. The box is a 4507R with the WS-X4548-GB-RJ45 48-port copper gig modules. There are also a couple 24-port gig fiber blades too used to connect all the closet switches. The fiber ports are not showing runts. This is happening across multiple modules. This has been in production for months with no issues. TAC has already been notified and swapped out all the copper blades but still no love. We are running Version 12.1(20)EW1. All speed and duplex settings have been hard coded on the ports and servers, all dot1q trunks verified. I am at a loss. We are doing captures on the ports to try and diagnose further. Any ideas?

Roasting Guatemala and other Washed Central American Coffees
High grown washed Central American coffees are practically the control coffee when it comes to roasting, the coffees that roast just like they should. They take the heat up front, change color evenly, charge into 1st Crack with gusto and with a definitive finish. On top of all that, they are perhaps the most versatile as far as roast level and roast development, with a plenty of exciting and intensely sweet characteristics expressed from City to Full City+. They also have a lot of room to move the characteristics across the palate and create a 3 dimensional profile.
The number one fundamental of washed Centrals in my mind is sweetness and the way that you can present the whole range of development of that sweetness. Some washed South American coffees also share this trait and you can include them here, especially Colombians. African coffees can have the vibrant and exotic fruit and floral attributes, and Indonesian and Pulped Natural coffees have the more rustic type of sweetness, but Washed Centrals can be deeply and expressively sweet in a truly remarkable way.
Lighter roasts without that much sugar development show more of the malty sweetness, but that malty sweetness can also express itself as graham cracker or wafer cookie. Developing the roast a little more moves you into the intense candy-like sweetness, followed by the more fruited sweetness like that found in cherries and other stone fruits, unique fruitiness from citric and malic fruitiness. Continuing to develop the roast leads to a fruity chocolate sweetness and then mild bitterness from caramelization expresses a more dark cocoa character with some vanilla.
This is the sweetness development path of most coffees, but I feel like Washed Centrals showcase this development in the clearest possible way. And of course Washed Centrals can show floral and more exotic fruit notes, but it is this sweetness that is integral. The other side of that coin is balance. In order to best express the sweetness of a Washed Central, you also want to develop the roast so that there is as much balance between the acidity and mouthfeel as possible. That balance best showcases the clarity in a well sorted and processed coffee, which in turn allows the sweetness to be the star of the show. Because the acidity can be so brilliant and crystal clear there is always a temptation to roast the coffee to highlight that, but it can be just as brilliant if the roast is used to highlight and promote sweetness.
In the Stretching out the Roast article and the Cuptoberfest 2013 video I talk about the architecture of a coffee. What I'm referring to is mostly where on the palate you taste/experience the acidity of a coffee. This location has a great impact on how the coffee tastes and feels. If you experience the acidity on the very front of the palate, usually the result of underdevelopment, there is an immediate intensity but then the finish is dry and vapid, not very sweet at all. If the acidity has been flattened out by over-development then the coffee feels undefined and without architecture. While the sweetness can still be present in this profile, the lack of any other dimension fails to feature it at its best. Developing the roast so that the acidity is experienced somewhere with some range across the palate can provide a depth of field that allows not only the sweetness to be experienced throughout the palate, but also for all of the exciting other flavor characteristics to be fully expressed.

DOGS DOWNED | Canberra came from the clouds to down Canterbury in the National Capital this afternoo...
14 hours ago - 4 Likes
Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett has downplayed suggestions from fellow NRL coaches that players feigning injuries to milk penalties is becoming a serious problem in the game.
Bennett said the use of the video referee in cases where players are injured in tackles was something coaches agreed upon many years ago and was not a rule that could be changed at this stage of the season.
The five-time premiership winning mentor said the onus was on each and every person involved in the game to denounce the use of such tactics within their respective clubs.
"The coaches all had an opportunity to get rid of it a couple of years ago and now they want to come out whingeing about it," Bennett said.
"If it offends all the coaches so much, let's make a pact that none of the players will do it. I guarantee you none of them will agree to it.
"I don't coach my players to take dives and I never have. It's not part of what we do or what we are about at the Broncos."
Under the rule introduced three years ago with the support of all 15 clubs, the video referee is only allowed to go back and review an incident if the referee had stopped the game on the following play.
At last season?s end-of-year review conference, club?s again supported the rule, which effectively gives the video referee powers equivalent to those of a touch judge.
However, two separate incidents involving Souths hooker Shane Walker and North Queensland centre Josh Hannay over the weekend drew stern criticism from opposition coaches and players, with several calling for immediate action to be taken against ?dives?.
Roosters coach Ricky Stuart labelled Walker?s actions in staying down after a high shot from Luke Ricketson as ?a blight on the game?, while Newcastle?s Michael Hagan levelled a similar claim at Hannay after he was on the end of a swinging arm from Knights centre Geogre Carmont.
Parramatta mentor Brian Smith said it was an issue which needed the league?s immediate attention.
"It's definitely a problem? he said.
?We've had a number of games that have been turned around because of it this year."

About the book
An interactive workbook to forge a strong union with the Holy Spirit, written by Susan Helene Kramer, your BellaOnline Meditation editor.
Meditation instructions are given to use with the more than 100 spiritual topics and subtopics on personal development, relationship issues and establishing closer communion with God. The workbook can be used in a two-fold way: by combining meditation and a topic for learning how to listen to the Holy Spirit, or by studying the topics with the intent of attaining self-realization. Either way, topics can be selected sequentially or at random.
My first book was published in 1988. Then, on February 20, 1990, Violet Cleveland, secretary to Dr. Willis Harman of the Institute of Noetic Sciences phoned me and asked permission to submit my writings to their publication department. To follow up, I have continued writing and you will find the outcome of sincerely delving within in this new book.

The teachers with a tabloid grasp of Islam
All bombs and burqas
Terrorism is an intrinsic part of Islam, all religious Muslim women wear the hijab, and the image that best represents the religion is a bomb.
This is the alarming perception most primary teachers have of Islam, according to new research from an academic at Canterbury Christ Church University. When Lynn Revell questioned more than 350 primary and trainee teachers she found that their understanding of Islam was largely formed by the media.
Almost three-quarters of those questioned thought that jihad referred to a physical war. They made no reference at all to it as a spiritual battle. Around a quarter also believed that terrorism was an intrinsic part of jihad. When asked to draw an image that represented Islam, the third most popular option - after minarets and women in burqas - was a bomb.
Understanding of the role of women in Islam was similarly limited. Eighty per cent believed that the extent to which a Muslim woman covers her body indicates her level of faith. The majority also believed that arranged marriages are required by Muslim law.
A quarter said that they would struggle to teach about women in Islam because of their personal feelings on the matter. Others went further, identifying Islamic practices as objectionable, or too controversial for primary pupils.
Headteachers are concerned. "It's perturbing that stereotypes are prevalent among student teachers, brought up when there's been broader global awareness," said Chris Davis, former president of the National Primary Headteachers' Association.
Remarkably stereotypes were reinforced by RE textbooks. Very few trainees had even a GCSE in RE, and so most relied heavily on them. But, Dr Revell said, these repeatedly make generalisations about the lives and beliefs of Muslims.
But Rosemary Rivett, of the National Association of Teachers of Religious Education, is unsurprised by the findings. "Most primary teachers are generalists," she said. "Islam is one of the religions they would feel uncertain about, and some of the textbooks don't help. Then again, I could look at some of the books about Christianity and find the same thing."
See feature, pages 40-43.
Comment (3)
I would love to see these teachers' backgrounds because I have never come across a primary school teacher (also being one myself) who holds these opinions
This piece is inaccurate and extremely offensive to primary teachers. If anything they are more educated about, and sympathetic towards, the belief sysyems of others than most people. Oh and muslims can be teachers too. The worst journalism I have read in a long time. twitter jamie909
If Canterbury Christ Church University is a mono-cultural institution I can guess that the media is providing most of the knowledge on Islam to their students.
I can also imagine that limiting oneself to christian textbooks could ensure that 'stereotypes were reinforced by RE textbooks'.
So called 'Terrorism' like 9/11 should be used as a starting point for ridding schools of all religion..............................We should meet the causes of 9/11 head on in classrooms: The causes of acts of so-called terror like 9/11 & suicide bombing are FAITH & BELIEF.
This isn't about the madness of any one faith or any one 'belief' this is the madness of all FAITH & BELIEF. Without FAITH & BELIEF 9/11 would not have happened.
Sam Harris in his book 'End of Faith' got it spot on, though he does tend to lay 'blame' on just the Islamic faith, but all his arguments can be applied to any faith.
9/11 was a purely religious act of faith; I have heard religious leaders call it 'evil' without actually THINKING about their words.
The 9/11 attack has a common thread that links all religious terrorism with the total irrationality of religious faith. Please note I am not having a go at any individual and I am not pointing the finger at just Muslims, Hindus, Jews or Christians; I'm pointing at all faith. From the Spanish Inquisition, to the bombings of Northern Ireland, the 9/11 bombers, to the suicide bombers in Isreal we see the murderous consequencies of devout faith.
Personally, I'd remove RE from the school curriculumn and replace it with something like Evidence-Based Studies. That way we can help kids overcome the sheer irrationality of accepting things for which no evidence actually exists. Things are going on in schools like creationism that really shouldn't be taught. Steiner Waldorf Schools include the belief that all humans possess an 'innate spirit' that, having passed through previous lives, in the current life develops in a 'karmically appropriate environment' before returning to the spirit world where it will prepare for a future reincarnation. Should we expose kids to this nonsense?
Before anyone calls ME an extremist; I could ask if anyone could name one person who was killed (or even one act of 'terror' undertaken) by an atheist or a secularist in the name of atheism or secularism?
(THink hard before you mention Nazi's or Stalin.)

The Poor Man's Stimulus And The Rich Man's Plunder
The only reason I can afford some pretzels, beer, and if I'm feeling really frisky, some chicken wings, is because I'm not sending any goddamn money to the vultures holding my debt. So, putting this thought in the category of "provocative" is perhaps a bridge too far:
Here's a provocative thought: what if 'extend and pretend' within our nation's troubled mortgage markets is actually providing a lift to consumer spending? It's not as far-fetched as the idea might initially sound, and it might help explain some interesting data we've seen as of late — and it also might explain why the statistical recovery we're seeing now doesn't really feel like a recovery to most Americans.
Or as I might say, "no shit Sherlock!" This is exactly what's going on. Fuck, the only reason I'm not out there starving in the street right now, is because I can't be thrown out of my house under my state's law for another 7 months. As Yoda might say, "Some big fucking mystery, it is not."
But this is what it all comes down to, isn't it? The rich get bailed out by the government securing all of the securitized debt "assets," so when I go broke, whoever holds my mortgage, credit card debt, and/or student loans doesn't share in my misery. Meaning they have no incentive to negotiate down the amount that I owe them - why the fuck would they? They get their money no matter what. At the first sign of trouble the government steps in to secure the payment stream, and nobody says boo about that monumental plundering of the public treasury to protect the rich.

Outlook No. (SSSM-258) 22 pp, February 2010
In the February 2010 World Agriculture Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE), projected fiscal year (FY) 2010 production for Mexico is reduced 200,000 metric tons, raw value (MTRV) from last month based on weather-reduced sugar yields to date. Exports are reduced by the same amount. Projected FY 2010 U.S. sugar supply is decreased by 85,000 short tons, raw value (STRV) from last month due to lower imports from Mexico, more than offsetting higher sugar production. Imports from Mexico are reduced by 220,000 STRV.

2013 in theater: Bard led the pack
Variations on Shakespeare were all over local stages in 2013
As benign as these abbreviated days can be in San Diego, it's still possible to summon a wisp of winter discontent and look back with nostalgia on glorious summer.
And with three separate (and very disparate) takes on Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" crossing local stages in 2013, the warm months were pretty hot property in San Diego theater.
So, by the way, was Shakespeare himself.
The Bard, of course, is rarely far from where good theater is happening, and for more than four centuries now, his work has proved eminently durable, adaptable and relevant.
But this year in particular, he seemed connected to many of the most welcome gifts delivered onto local stages.
Those three "Midsummers" — Ian Talbot's magical and laugh-filled production for the Old Globe, Intrepid Shakespeare Co.'s encore of its fizzy and fun musical version, and Ion Theatre's bawdy, disco-fied riff (puckishly dubbed "Ass, or A Midsummer Night's Fever") — all had their charms. But they were just part of the story.
The most talked-about Shakespeare show in town (and one of the more highly buzzed nationally) was "The Last Goodbye," the Old Globe's mashup of "Romeo and Juliet" with the music of the late singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley.
That production, directed by the rising Broadway talent Alex Timbers, injected the romantic tragedy with alt-rock edge and a hurtling urgency. While the show had its stumbles (not surprising for a new musical), the raw emotion of Buckley's songs meshed well with the stripped-down adaptation by Timbers and writer Michael Kimmel.
Another freewheeling "Romeo and Juliet" interpretation also hit with major impact: "Shakespeare's R&J," the fiery and inventive Joe Calarco work that revolves around four 1960s Catholic-school youths who find themselves in the thrall of the Bard original.
At Cygnet Theatre, director George Yé and a committed cast brought into bold relief both the suffering and the brittle beauty of this story-within-a-story about love in an unwelcoming world.
And in its final season as a three-show repertory offering (before Globe artistic director Barry Edelstein introduces a new format), the theater's Summer Shakespeare Festival scored a hat trick of winning shows.
Besides "Midsummer," they included departing festival artistic chief Adrian Noble's unstinting (yet darkly funny) production of "The Merchant of Venice," as well as his consummately acted revival of the brain-bending "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead," playwright Tom Stoppard's response to "Hamlet."
Across town at La Jolla Playhouse, perhaps the biggest event in a laudably diverse season also took in a bit of the Bard.
The Playhouse's innovative Without Walls Festival, a celebration of site-specific theater, wound up a resounding success (both in terms of attendance and, for the most part, art).
Its lineup ranged from the jagged, video-ified Chekhov remix "Platonov," to the beach-set puppet spectacle "Seafoam Sleepwalk," to "A Willow Grows Aslant," a variation on "Hamlet" that roamed the corridors of UCSD's Galbraith Hall.
The festival also brought a welcome encore of "The Car Plays: San Diego." And elsewhere in its season, the Playhouse staged fresh looks at "His Girl Friday" and the ambitious musical "Side Show," plus a new stage version of the wine-centric saga "Sideways" (whose hapless antiheroes were like boozy heirs to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern).
Not all the year's highlights, of course, had Shakespeare on the brain. Moxie Theatre and Mo`olelo Performing Arts Co. (whose leader, Seema Sueko, has departed for Pasadena Playhouse after a decade of major influence) teamed for a searing staging of Lydia Diamond's "The Bluest Eye." Ion Theatre continued to shake up San Diego with local premieres such as "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo" and "Shining City."

Workforce Management: Why should employers support legislation that eliminates their role providing health care benefits?
Ron Wyden: It's going to make them more competitive in the global marketplace. They are getting pounded today … because of a historical accident. They are getting clobbered because back in the 1940s, before they were competing in a global economy, health care was pushed onto the employer by accident, through wage and price controls. That may have made sense 60 years ago, but it doesn't make sense today when the people who own businesses are seeing their workers change jobs constantly. The world is all about portability and convenience, and I think it's time to cut the cord between employment and health insurance. And that is why I've proposed the bill.
WM: Employers who say health benefits are a way to attract employees in a competitive marketplace may differ with your perspective.
Wyden: I require that people buy a basic package: prevention, outpatient, inpatient hospitalization and catastrophic. I think there will be very fertile ground for employers to supplement that package in order to attract quality workers, and I think that is very appropriate. What I am trying to do is say, "Let's figure out a way that makes sense for workers and businesses so that everybody can get a basic package." But, of course, it's a free society and people will choose to buy even more. And I think a prime opportunity for employers to attract good workers is to come in and say, "The Healthy Americans Act requires that you buy this basic coverage. But we really want you, so we're going to offer A, B and C on top of that."
WM: Chronic illness is a huge contributor to health care costs. And employers are investing in ways to manage diseases to avoid sick workers, high costs and lost productivity. How does your legislation address the need to improve the health of workers?
Wyden: Perhaps the leading company in the United States, the leading employer that has focused on prevention, is Safeway. And their CEO, Steve Burd, stood with me the day I proposed my legislation. So there's no question that employers want to work in a preventive kind of area. Employers may choose to supplement what I am offering in terms of preventive benefits—gym benefits and incentives for employees to be involved in various kinds of preventive efforts. All that will go forward. But the reason employers are excited about my legislation—which is called the Healthy Americans Act for a reason—is because I feel so strongly about health care and not sick care. Employers are saying the Healthy Americans Act really gets it right in terms of prevention.
WM: How so? Can you be more specific?
Wyden: If an employee signs up for health coverage under the Healthy Americans Act, their plan would have to inform them of various preventive and wellness programs. The worker is not required to do anything, but if a worker took the child to do the preventive and wellness program, then the worker is eligible for a reduction in the worker's premium. In the legislation, it's spelled out.
WM: If an employer adds supplemental benefits, do they get a tax break?
Wyden: No. And the question is, if you're going to go to a market-based system and reward competition, which is what I'm doing, I don't know why you throw more tax breaks on top of what we're already doing.

Get the best breast implants for your body type
When you go in for your breast augmentation surgery, your doctor will take a lot of measurements and make a recommendation about the kind of implants that may be right for you. However, remember that this is a personal decision, so be sure to consider this professional advice, but don't be afraid to speak up and talk about what you want, too.
Jose Rios, an augmentation and breast implant specialist with years of experience, said in an interview that personalized plans are what gain patients the best results. He pointed out that doing research at home is one thing, but medical advice on the matter can give an added level of insight that can help make an informed decision. This final judgement should also bear a good dose of patient input, though, Rios stated.
Chelsea Cosmetics wrote that one of the biggest factors in this decision should be body type. Picking a breast implant size that is too large for your frame will make them look unnatural and less appealing. What's more, there is a higher likelihood that they will start to sag prematurely. It's important that you consider how the size you've picked is going to look with various kinds of clothing, as well as how happy you'll be with the overall final effect.
Picking too small a pair, Dr. Rios warned, may result in dissatisfaction with the final result, but going too big may not be the best idea, either. The different ways an implant is placed in the body, as well as how the surgery is performed, can also be affected by body type and personal ideas about beauty. Make sure before going ahead with the procedure that all the factors are likely to add up to your dream look.

Who We Are
Why Blue Faery?
Adrienne Wilson's favorite color was
blue, so much so that she dyed her hair
blue before she started high school.
She always loved faeries and bought a
pair of blue wings that she wore on
special occasions. When she became ill,
Adrienne requested a blue wig so she
could maintain her look.
Soon, friends and family started calling
Adrienne our Blue Faery.

2009 Country Reports on Terrorism - Morocco

Morocco pursued a comprehensive counterterrorism approach that emphasized vigilant security measures, including international cooperation and innovation in the area of counter-radicalization policies. Evidence gained from Moroccan authorities' disruption of certain groups, and the common characteristics of those groups, supported previous analysis that Morocco's threat of terrorist attack continued to stem largely from the existence of numerous small "grassroots" extremist cells. These groups, sometimes referred to collectively as adherents of Moroccan Salafia Jihadia ideology, remained isolated from one another, small in size (less than 50 individuals each), and tactically limited. Their international connections were also limited. The Government of Morocco's counterterrorism efforts have effectively reduced the threat, but the existence of these groups points to the need for continued vigilance.
Although AQIM has been unable to mount a successful terrorist attack in Morocco to date, Moroccan authorities remained concerned about the inspiration and knowledge transfer that AQIM may have provided to Moroccan extremists. AQIM repeatedly tried to incite Moroccans to commit violence against their government through internet propaganda. The Moroccan government remained concerned about numbers of veteran Moroccan jihadists returning from Iraq to conduct terrorist attacks at home. A further cause for concern is Moroccans who were radicalized during their stays in Western Europe, much like those who were involved in the 2004 Madrid train bombings.
The Moroccan government pursued a comprehensive counterterrorism approach that, building on popular rejection of terrorism, emphasized neutralizing existing terrorist cells through traditional intelligence work and preemptive security measures. Morocco aggressively targeted and dismantled terrorist cells within the Kingdom by leveraging intelligence collection, police work, and collaboration with regional and other international partners. These efforts resulted in the disruption of several terrorist groups:
In February, Moroccan police arrested Abdelkebir Barka at the Mohammed V International Airport upon his return from Syria. He was charged with forming a terrorist cell.
In May, the Moroccan police arrested eight alleged members of the terrorist group "Jamaat al Mouslimoun al Joudoud."
In June, Moroccan authorities arrested five members of a suspected terrorist cell operating in Morocco and Spain.
In late June, the security services arrested eight individuals on charges of forming a terrorist group, bringing charges that included drug trafficking and corruption. The leader of the group was Abou Yassine, a former Salafia Jihadia prisoner who had been sentenced previously to two years in jail for his involvement in the "Ansar al-Mahdi" terrorist group. The cell operated between Morocco and Spain, according to press reports.
In September, security services arrested 24 members of an alleged terrorist network linked to AQ that recruited volunteers for suicide bombings in Iraq, according to the Ministry of Interior. The Interior Ministry stated that the network had coordinated with terrorists in Sweden, Belgium, Iraq, and Syria and had also sought recruits to fight in Afghanistan and Somalia. Those arrested also intended to carry out terrorist acts in Morocco, according to the Ministry.
In addition to traditional security measures, Morocco's King Mohammed VI has promoted significant efforts to reduce extremism and dissuade individuals from becoming radicalized. Each Ramadan, for example, the King hosts a series of religious lectures, inviting Muslim speakers from around the world to promote moderate and peaceful religious viewpoints. In his Throne Day speech in July, the King highlighted the moderate and tolerant nature of the Sunni Malekite rite, which, he emphasized, forms an integral part of Moroccan identity. After the 2003 Casablanca bombings, Morocco increasingly focused on strengthening the Ministry of Endowments and Islamic Affairs (MOIA). Under the MOIA, the pioneering experiment, begun in 2007, of training and using women as spiritual guides continued. Morocco also formed a Council of Ulema for Europe to train and send Moroccan imams and women spiritual guides to counter extremist messages in Moroccan expatriate communities in Europe.
During the year, the Moroccan Government continued to implement internal reforms aimed at ameliorating the socio-economic factors that terrorists exploit. The National Initiative for Human Development, launched by the King in 2005, is a US$1.2 billion program designed to generate employment, combat poverty, and improve infrastructure, with a special focus on rural areas.
The Government of Morocco made public commitments that the struggle against terrorism would not be used to deprive individuals of their rights and emphasized as part of its approach adherence to human rights standards and increased law enforcement transparency. The government generally accorded terrorist suspects and convicts their rights and due process of law, with more access for defense lawyers and more transparent court proceedings than in previous years. Moroccan laws were effective in leading to numerous convictions and the upholding of convictions of multiple terrorism-related cases:
In January, a Moroccan criminal court sentenced Abdelmajid Zerghout to five years in prison for forming a terrorist group. Zerghout had been an imam in Italy before he was extradited to Morocco for his alleged involvement in the terrorist attacks of May 16, 2003 in Casablanca.
In February, a Moroccan counterterrorism court condemned Saad al-Husseini, the key plotter of the Casablanca attacks, to 15 years in prison. His five accomplices received between three and eight years. Then, in June, a Moroccan increased the jail terms of al-Husseini and his accomplices, who were sentenced for "undermining the national security of the State" and forming a terrorist group, to 20 and 10 years, respectively.
In March, a Moroccan court condemned Hassan Haski to 10 years in prison for his involvement in the 2003 terrorist attack in Casablanca.
In July, Abdelkader Belliraj was condemned to life in prison for terrorist activities, premeditated murder, attempted murder, and possession of illegal arms and explosives and other charges. The other 34 members of his cell were sentenced to between one and 30 years in prison. According to the police, the network was preparing to carry out acts of violence in Morocco and abroad including assassinations of political figures and Moroccan Jews. Belliraj was appealing the court's decision at year's end.
In September, 38 people suspected of belonging to a network that recruited Moroccans to fight in Iraq and Algeria appeared before a counterterrorist court. Police said the suspects intended to join terrorist groups in desert camps run by AQIM before proceeding to Iraq.
As part of its comprehensive approach in combating terrorism, Morocco also addressed terrorist financing. Although Morocco is not a regional financial center, its financial sector is integrated into international markets. Money laundering is a concern due to the narcotics trade, vast informal sector, trafficking in persons, and large level of remittances from Moroccans living abroad. The extent of the money laundering problem in the country is unknown, but conditions exist for it to occur on a significant scale. In recent years, Morocco has taken a series of steps to address the problem, most notably with the enactment of a terrorist finance (CFT) law in May 2003; with a comprehensive anti-money laundering (AML) law in April 2007; and with the establishment of a Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) in April 2009. These actions have provided the legal basis for the monitoring, investigation, and prosecution of illegal financial activities. The new laws allow for the freezing of suspicious accounts and permit the prosecution of terrorist finance-related crimes. U.S. and EU programs are providing Moroccan police, customs, central bank, and government financial officials with training to recognize money laundering methods. The FIU and its member organizations met with the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Department of Homeland Security in early October to discuss possible U.S. technical assistance to develop the AML/CFT regime. A formal request from the FIU and the Central Bank followed in November. Morocco had a relatively effective system through the newly established FIU for disseminating U.S. government and UN Security Council terrorist freeze lists to its financial sector and legal authorities. Morocco froze some terrorist-related accounts.
Another key to Morocco's counterterrorism efforts was its emphasis on international cooperation. Moroccan authorities continued to disrupt plots to attack Moroccan, U.S., and other Western-affiliated targets, and aggressively investigated numerous individuals associated with international terrorist groups, often in collaboration with international partners. Morocco and the United States worked together extensively on counterterrorism efforts at the tactical level. In the past years, Morocco has accepted prisoners formerly detained at Guantanamo Bay and prosecuted them under Moroccan law. In May, a Moroccan criminal court reduced the sentence of former Guantanamo Bay detainee Mohammed Benmoujane from 10 to two years.
Morocco also forged solid cooperative relationships with European and African partners by sharing information and conducting joint operations. Morocco is considered a Mediterranean Dialogue partner of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and also cooperated with regional partners on a bilateral basis. In March, Spanish police arrested a Moroccan on an international warrant issued by Morocco on suspicion of belonging to a terrorist group that had planned attacks on official and tourist targets in Morocco. Morocco also worked closely with African partners such as Mauritania and Senegal. The government used army and Ministry of Interior paramilitary forces to secure its borders as best it could but faced resource constraints and both a lengthy border and lengthy coastline.

|WP's Martin takes MVP at Cambridge CSO All-Star game
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 02 June 2011 18:09
By Josh Sumner
The Wauneta Breeze
One game was close, while one wasn't at all.
But at the conclusion of both the girls and boys games of the Cambridge CSO All-Star basketball games, two things were consistent: The West team was the winner, and a pair of records no longer existed.
Led in part by the 49-point combined effort of Wau-Pal's "Big 3," consisting of Drew Harris, Ricky Martin and Chris Bartels, the West boys blew the doors off the East 117-71.
In all likelihood, it's the last time Harris, Martin and Bartels will share the basketball floor.

Martin led all scorers with his 27-point effort in the ball game, earning him MVP honors at its conclusion. He made a total of eight 3-pointers on the night, shattering the previous Cambridge CSO All-Star basketball game record of five made 3-pointers, set by Travis Hughes of Elwood in 1996.
Bartels notched 13 points for the West, while teammate Drew Harris tallied 9 points on the evening.
Things were a little tighter on the girls' side.
The West girls took down the East 100-97 in the highest scoring game in CSO history. The 197 combined points topped the record set in the 1995 incarnation of the exhibition classic.
Brittany Schillington, of Dundy County-Stratton, and Gretchen Sehnert, of McCook, each led the West in scoring with 18 points apiece. Schillington earned MVP honors in the game.
Wauneta-Palisade's Bethany Riener, playing for the winning West squad, scored 16 points in the game, including a rare 4-point play which pulled her team ahead late in the game.

If you've been interested in picking up NVIDIA's quirky gaming device, the NVIDIA Shield, but didn't want to order it online, you're in luck. NVIDIA has announced that Gamestop retail stores will be carrying the Shield for the same $300 price, minus those pesky shipping fees. Of course, those shipping fees will be replaced by taxes, but at least you won't have to wait for it to get delivered, right?
NVIDIA has posted up a Gamestop finder on their website so you can see exactly which stores carry the Shield. Otherwise, you could always call up your local Gamestop and ask. Anybody planning on picking one of these up?
