On paper, the trade for Jason Richardson is simply stunning. The slogging Suns added much-needed sizzle and will gain by subtraction. For payment, they relinquished a lovesick malcontent and a soft underachiever, two players who were effectively undermining the new coach.
It is a trade that may eventually save the season. It confirms Michael Jordan's soggy status as team builder. It should be sunshine and smiles for everyone on Planet Orange - except there's a strange pall in the air, a question that smells like the egg sandwich in the company fridge:
Was this all necessary?
After one quarter of the season, the Suns are going back to being a running team with an emphasis on defense. Alas, that's exactly what Steve Kerr wanted from Mike D'Antoni when their philosophies began to clash about this time last year. Just give me a little defense, a deeper rotation of players and you're my guy.
What if D'Antoni had just played along? What if he hadn't taken the easy money?
That question will ring even louder on Monday, when D'Antoni brings his Knicks to US Airways Center. It is a game that has suddenly become a must-win endeavor for the hosts.
It's strange. Although D'Antoni's system died awhile ago, the losses of Raja Bell and Boris Diaw have triggered a wave of obituaries in the national media, from those now mourning the loss of a great NBA show. One newspaper Web site proclaimed: "Trade continues ugly makeover for Suns." Diaw didn't help matters when blasting Porter's system on the way out the door, and how "it wasn't exciting for the fans."
Painfully, some of it's true. The Suns haven't been very exciting this season, even when winning. But we knew this was coming, didn't we? In the NFL, you can rally around a team that plays defense. The Steelers make it an art form, a symphony of violence. A pitcher's duel stirs the soul of baseball purists everywhere. But in the NBA, defense is something to be cherished only when necessary.
Steve Nash didn't help matters, either. His reaction to the trade was over-the-top solemn, as if he were the last guy left in prison. His performance against the Lakers was strangely perfunctory, and if it were anyone else, you'd call it unprofessional. He gets a mulligan, but a veteran like him had to know that Bell was in danger, that his name was circulating on trade winds, that dissidents are movable commodities when you can't fire the head coach.
Or maybe Nash realized that he has to start all over again, incorporating yet another new element on a team that doesn't exactly feel like a brotherhood anymore.
"They have broken up this team and brought in, basically, a gunner," analyst Bill Walton bellowed at halftime of Wednesday's game against the Lakers. "How's Shaq ever going to get the ball? Amar� (Stoudemire) wants the ball all the time. I just don't see how this is going to work. The chemistry, which is so critically important, I think is disappearing rapidly from the Phoenix Suns."
Oh, please. Bell and Diaw aren't that important, and Richardson will bring great entertainment value back to the gym. But around here, it's clear that some fans are starting to get bad vibes from this team and its future. Although the addition of Richardson sounds like a great deal, is there any heart left in the room? Is there any soul left to lean on? Any sense of fellowship at all? And what if Mike and Steve could've found a middle ground?
Problem was, Kerr had multiple championship rings and knew that defense is really important. The rebel inside D'Antoni was determined to prove otherwise, and grew highly suspicious of Kerr's motives. That is when the battery died, when the empire expired.
Let's hope Richardson brings the jumper cables.

|A young Muslim woman was attacked by a gang of schoolgirls in south London the Wimbledon Guardian reported last week.
The 26 year old was taunted by the girls for wearing a headscarf before she was physically assaulted and an attempt made to forcibly remove it.
From the Wimbledon Guardian:
"Four teenage girls, two wearing school uniform, kicked and knocked the woman to the ground before trying to remove the item during the incident in North Cheam between 7pm and 9pm on Wednesday, April 13.
"The 26-year-old was walking along Stonecot Hill towards London Road, near the territorial army centre, when she noticed she was being followed by the girls, who were teasing her about her headscarf.
"One of the girls kicked her, before she crossed the road in an attempt to get away.
"The girls caught up with the victim, kicked her again, and during a struggle to remove the victim's headscarf, kicked her again after she fell to the ground.
"The attackers fled after a car pulled over to help the woman. The driver then took the woman home."
Recent research produced by Irene Kempi of Leicester University shows that attacks on veiled Muslim women is on the increase. The low level of reporting of such incidents means that perpetrators often evade criminal prosecution leading to what Kempi terms "invisible" Islamophobia.
''Persistent staring, spitting, calling names, throwing of eggs or stones, and pulling women's veils off are the overwhelming types of anti-Muslim hostilities, yet rarely reported to the police. As a result, this victimisation remains 'invisible' for police and local authority," Kempi argues.

Mattress Firm Closes Purchase of Back to Bed, M World Mattress, MCStores and TBE Orlando
Posted on October 1, 2014 by
HOUSTON-Mattress Firm has completed the acquisition of the mattress specialty retail assets of Back to Bed Inc., M World Mattress, MCStores and TBE Orlando.
Collectively, these companies operate Back to Bed and Bedding Experts retail stores in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin, and Bedding Experts and Mattress Barn stores in Florida. The acquisition adds about 135 mattress specialty retail stores to Mattress Firm's company-operated store base in both new and exiting markets, primarily in the Chicago and Orlando, Fla., metropolitan areas. The purchase price was about $60 million and was funded by cash reserves and revolver borrowings, according to a Mattress Firm statement.
Steve Stagner, Mattress Firm president and CEO, said the acquisition "allows us to secure a strong presence and immediate scale in Chicago, a key strategic market for Mattress Firm, while also increasing our penetration in the Orlando market where Mattress Firm already has a prominent company-operated store base."
The statement added that Mattress Firm expects to rebrand and transition Back to Bed, Bedding Experts and Mattress Barn stores as Mattress Firm stores. It has already begun the process of outfitting the stores with Mattress Firm's "Comfort by Color" merchandising approach, product offerings, point-of-sale systems and sales programs. Stagner said the integration of the new stores should be done by the end of the company's fiscal year, which would be near the end of this coming January.
"Comfort by Color" allows customers to browse a Mattress Firm store and compare different styles and brands based on the comfort level of the mattress. The concept uses yellow for firm mattresses, orange for plush, red for pillow top, green for contoured and blue for personalized.

FXStreet (Guatemala) - Analysts at BNP Paribas explained that several euro-zone governments–chief among them France and Italy–are calling for some relaxation of the European fiscal rules to bolster their growth outlook.
"In particular, they want to see certain categories of investment expenditure excluded from fiscal balance or effort calculations. Provided certain conditions are met, that could be highly beneficial".
"For the time being, the response given by Member States opposed to this plan is that the European rules already possess sufficient flexibility".
"Major changes should not be anticipated in the short term, even though the door has not been completely closed on the idea".
"The European Council has asked the European Commission for a report by the end of the year on how the new rules of the Stability and Growth Pact are working".

An interesting item I found on the Blizzard store that I wanted to share with you. The most ridiculous "costume hat" I have ever seen. If you read the description "Words can't describe the impression you will make in this Murloc head gear" and yes it is absolutely true that words cant explain it this hat as it literally looks like a Murloc is growing out of your head. This item is certainly a head turner even if it was designed as a costume hat. Apparently orders for this items where such a success that since making its premiere at BlizzCon 2010 .. it is still on pre-sales! sorry blizzard but we think this one is a bust.

Cape baseball hits and hangs on for 8-7 home win over Indian River
Jon Jon Warren cracked two home runs and had four RBIs, and they were all needed as the Cape baseball team notched a necessary home win May 9 at Chris Short Field 8-7 over visiting Indian River.
Cape used four pitchers in the victory, starting with lefty Tucker Nickerson, who went four innings, yielding a run, then gave way to Tyler Clendaniel, Griffin Kammerer and Kai Vitella, who each pitched an inning of relief.
Kammerer was 3 for 4 with a double and a run scored.
The victory improved Cape to an 8-6 record with a four-game week to close out the season. Cape will host Seaford, 0-12, Monday, May 13, then play at Woodbridge, 5-9, Tuesday, May 14. The Vikings return home to play Delmarva Christian, 4-9, Wednesday, May 15, before closing the season Friday, May 17, at Saint Mark's, 9-6.

Trendy Top Sizing | Getting The Right Trendy Top Size
I found that getting the right Trendy Top sizing is as easy as knowing your shirt size. Trying to look good wearing the current fashion that features low cut, sub-naval pants and short, above the naval shirts has proven an ever increasing problem for many of us. When I was younger and fitter I would have said a low rise pant with a short shirt was not the most figure enhancing fashion but I would not have had as much difficulty making it work.
Click here to try the Trendy Top sizing chart.
Now that I am in my 40's my figure is not what it used to be. My four-year-old often asks me if there is a baby in my belly because it is not exactly flat anymore. At this point in time I do not just need figure flattering I also need a bit of damage control if you know what I mean.
Trendy Top is supposed to make it possible to wear the fashionable low cut pants and short shirts while still looking good, "Trendy top covers your waist and all the rest. Trendy Top is the specially designed T just for your hips…Just like a camisole covers your chest Trendy Top covers your waist and hips". Trendy Top sizing promises just the right size to turn my middle aged midriff from perennially post-partum to reasonably attractive.
If you have struggled with looking good and actually being able to bend, reach and move in your clothing investigate the official Trendy Top website for yourself to see if Trendy Top has the right solution in the right size for your figure www.GetTrendyTop.com.
Given my own struggles with unwanted midsection exposure I have long thought that low rise pants and short shirts are styles only a Fashionists could consider desirable. As for the majority of us low rise pants and short shirts are more akin to a complete fashion horror show than a fashion statement. Even those pants that claim to be up to the waist never quite make it for me.
However if you think it is only middle aged women who have this difficulty think again. Even my teenage daughters, who have the stereotypically perfect teenage bodies, suffer from the same dearth of fabric around the midriff. Their under wear or sometimes more is exposed in all of their jeans. If this does not look good on them it is not going to look good on anyone. Their solution is usually the undershirt which cleverly rides right up out of sight.
Meanwhile Trendy Top promises a solution to this clothing conundrum with "the perfect size just for you". If Trendy Top is going to meet the needs of women in their middle age like me and young women in their prime there must be a vast selection of different sizes to meet the needs of these disparate groups. When I looked at the sizing chart I was expecting an extensive list since Trendy Top sizing is supposed to encompass all sizes of women. Instead, Trendy Tops come in just three sizes, small/medium, large, and X-large. This seems simple enough that it is worth a try.

Radio Berkman: Restrictions, Connections, Visualizations
How can ordinary, static, unbiased data – ones and zeros, words, dates, clicks of a mouse – be harnessed to tell us something truly extraordinary?
This week we take a look at data visualization – specifically, at two projects that are creating engaging and powerful interpretations of that data we interact with. Herdict.org, the brainchild of our guest Jonathan Zittrain, uses the power of the crowd to figure out when, where, and why the web is being filtered around the world. In her new exhibit at MIT, our second guest, Judith Donath, explores how our conversations on email and blogs might look if they manifested themselves in the real world, as works of art.

The history, archeology, and nature in the Gamla nature reserve are sufficient for an entire visit if you don't spend the whole time looking up to see the vultures that nest there. Along the way you can also visit the highest waterfall in Israel

Gamla (Photo: Ayelet Gundar)
A walk on the circular Vulture Trail also provides an impressive observation point where you can see the mountain of Gamla. You can descend from the bird-watching post in the direction of the site on the steep, well-marked "ancient path." This isn't a long walk (about a mile and a quarter there and back), but the route of the path requires at least an hour and a half.
From here to where?
If you prefer to exchange the somber atmosphere of Gamla for a somewhat more pastoral experience, you can continue from the Vulture Trail to the waterfall, a 45-minute walk from the entrance (an hour and a half both ways). Along the trail there are dolmans, stone structures in the shape of a table whose purpose no one is sure of.

It was not immediately known where he died, or the cause of death.
MacArthur played Detective Dan Williams for 11 years in "Hawaii Five-0," tied to the show's signature phrase "Book 'em, Danno." The drama has been remade by CBS with a new cast this season.
MacArthur acted in several movies, including "Swiss Family Robinson" and "The Battle of the Bulge." His live acting career won him the 1961 Theatre World Award for best new actor for his performance in "Invitation to a March."

Naoko Takeuchi Interview
Sailor Moon Season 1 Laserdisc
This interview appeared as extra material on the laserdisc for the first season. The video is from a VHS fansub.
Get the Flash Player
to see this player.
Please allow a few seconds for the video to start
Naoko Takeuchi, the creator of the blockbuster cartoon, "Sailor Moon," now speaks.
Inside Stories: Revealing the ins and outs!
Question: How did the original cartoon Sailor Moon originate?
Naoko: First I dres Sailor V for a girls comic magazine Run-Run (Happy), a special edition of the well-known monthly Nakayoshi (Good Pal). The story expanded into Sailor Moon, which began to appear regularly in the original Nakayoshi magazine.
Question: How do you feel about it's coming on TV?
Naoko: The characters I initially created just for fun... now speak and move. They look fresher and more vivid now. Even I was - and still am - excited watching it.
Question: Why sailor-suited warriors?
Naoko: Osano-san, editor of of the magazine company, suggested a sailor-suited warrior fighting for peace. And I liked the idea.
Question: Who is your favorite character?
Naoko: I personally like Tuxedo Kamen. Well... my type is a blunt, handsome guy with long slanted eyes. Especially neat if he looks good in a formal suit or tuxedo. Thus, I made him... the man the heroine will come to love.
Question: Umino-kun is pretty funny, isn't he?
Naoko: [laughing] Yes. Many characters in Sailor Moon are not very easy to draw. They wear complicated or loud costumes, for example. Bit I can draw Umino-kun in five seconds, without drafting. In this sense, I like him. Of course, I treasure him as much as the other characters.
Question: Are you thinking of making more characters such as Umino?
Naoko: Well, I had never created such a character before. He might be the only character of mine who's so simple and funny. Umino is supposed to be relatively handsome, though, without the glasses.
Question: As the original writer, how do you perceive the animated version?
Naoko: It is said to be very difficult to adapt an original story into an animated cartoon. But I feel the TV version has been very well made, just as I was hoping, including the colors and voice-overs. And the development of the stories is quite satisfying, just as I expected.
Question: We hear that you love SFX (special effects) movies!
Naoko: Yes, it would have been neat if I could make a story like the Power Rangers series - a girls' version - where the warriors go fighting upon the instructions from a Central Command Post. It didn't turn out that way, though. Of course, from this concept came Sailor Moon. I had wanted to use five girls as the fighting warriors.
Question: A message for the fans, please?
Naoko: As the creator, I have been looking forward to the season's premiere with great anticipation. Please enjoy watching the program every week. I'll also continue to draw the magazine version. Please support both versions of Sailor Moon.

American Idol
American Idol: Harry Connick Jr. and Jennifer Lopez Are Judges For Season 13!
American Idol producers must be breathing a sigh of relief today, having finally found their third judge for the show. Harry Connick Jr. has officially signed on for Season 13, joining Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez on the panel.
The question of who would judge Season 13 had been a hot topic recently, particularly as we got closer and closer to January without any sign of the producers filling the seats that Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, and Randy Jackson previously occupied.
We first heard that producers were considering Harry on August 28; and just yesterday, a source told The Hollywood Reporter that the 45-year-old, multi-platinum jazz singer (and frequent actor) had signed on the dotted line. But now we have the official word from Fox.
Fox chairman Kevin Reilly describes Harry as "a bona-fide musical genius and fantastic Idol mentor whose honesty and expertise can help turn these hopefuls into stars."
We knew for weeks that Jennifer Lopez was returning to the panel, but Fox's announcement this morning marks the first confirmation from Fox that the 44-year-old would be gracing the Idol judges' table (after taking Season 12 off).
Now that the panel is locked in, production for Season 13 commences immediately. The trio of judges starts work today, Sept. 3, for the first round of auditions in Boston.
It won't be the first time Harry has appeared on the show, as he has guest-mentored contestants twice in the past and taken the Idol stage himself in 2010 for a performance of "And I Love Her."
But do you love him? Do you think he's a good addition to the Idol team? Let us know below!

The Week We Searched For – November 20, 2009
Posted on Friday, November 20th, 2009 by Camille Canon Print This Post
Categories - Featured, News
Google Lifts the Veil on Chrome
Google unveiled part of their Chrome operating system this week. Although the actual launch date isn't until late next year, the Chrome OS code will soon be released to the public under an open source license. Google's operating system has been much rumored about, as it will run almost entirely through Web applications, relying on Web-based cloud storage, rather than computer storage. As such, Chrome is expected to pose real competition for Windows and Apple's computing systems. While Google promotes the benefits of the 'cloud,' many are still skeptical about how reliable and secure it will prove to be. To read more about Chrome, its critics and fans, check out Neil McAllister's article in the SF Chronicle.
Google Adds Captions to YouTube
Google and YouTube released an automated caption generating service to YouTube videos this week. Previously, users had to manually add caption to videos, but with the new automated service, users have the choice to insert machine-generated captions. According to Ken Harrenstien, Google hopes the captions will help the deaf and hearing impaired, as well as open up video content across 51 languages. This may end up being a major enhancement to SEO Best Practices for YouTube. To see YouTube's demo video and for more information on the project, check out Austin Modine's article on The Register.
BigDeal Unveils Website
BigDealhas launched their website with the help of $4.5 million from Mayfield Fund, Foundation Capital and First Round Capital. BigDeal is a live auction site, enabling users to purchase $0.75 bids and bid on retail items, like digital cameras, DVDs, TVs. The catch is that, unlike with traditional auctions, BigDeal keeps all the bid money and users receive 'credit' from their bids which they can use to purchase retail items directly from BigDeal.

AOL announced this week their plans to cut their staff by a third over the coming month. The company will conduct a "voluntary layoff program," allowing employees to choose to leave the company. If the target number of 2,500 layoffs is not met by December 11, then the company will conduct an involuntary layoff. The cuts come after an economically difficult year for AOL and a month after their spin off from Time Warner.

About AEM Parts & Accessories
AEM was founded in 1987 by John Concialdi (J.C.) and Bob Sullivan as a tuning performance shop catering to vintage automobiles and the latest trend in street racing modified imports. Located in Compton California, AEM was embedded in the tuner market from the very beginning. It was a matter of being in the right place, at the right time, with the right technical knowhow. Between J.C. and Sullivan, AEM had two important advantages. Technical engine knowledge and massive creativity fueled by an unbridled passion to make things go faster. And when it came to understanding the air flow through an engine, few had more experience than Concialdi, who had managed the R&D department for Weber Carburetors for North American aftermarket applications the previous 10 years. By 1993 when the shop relocated to Gardena California, AEM's reputation as the modifier of choice had grown to the point that sometimes the business ran 24 hours a day in order to have cars ready for the next street race or sanctioned event. Cars and drivers sporting AEM's bright yellow logo became famous in the street racing scene for one consistent reason, they won races. AEM's first glimpse of mainstream notoriety came when cars tuned by their shop won in various classes at the "Battle of the Imports". This highly contested shoot-out and others that followed landed AEM on the cover of Turbo Magazine and Sport Compact Magazine. Many of the most visible drivers in import street racing ran cars modified by AEM, names like Adam Saruwatari, Tony Fuchs, Brian Kim and Darin Ishitani, Archie Medrano, Russ Matuseavich, Abel Iberra, Miles Bautista, E.T. Saffon and many others. Today that tradition is carried on with Stephan Papadakis. AEM developed one of the first Packaged Air Induction Systems and it came right out of their experience in dyno testing, understanding intake energy dynamics and racing at the Battle of the Imports. AEM's presence in the tuner movement and its proximity to Nissan, TRD and Honda allowed them a unique opportunity. By living side by side with racers and working with OES engineers, AEM was able to understand both the practical and theoretical side of engine performance. This combination of street experience and technical savvy resulted in the birth of the first Packaged Air Induction Kit. The kit was offered for sale in 1994 as a Do-It-Yourself upgrade for the Honda CRX and proved to be the beginning of a whole new tradition. People could suddenly purchase affordable cars and modify them for increased torque and horsepower. AEM has been a leader in the development and sale of precision tuned induction systems ever since that fateful day at the Battle of the Imports. Today, the Company's induction systems number in the hundreds and AEM is still the one to beat. Our innovations are inspired by a passion for engineering excellence, being there and getting our hands dirty, the only way to really understand technology enough to make it better.

Jose Sucunu Panjoj v. Guatemala, Case 11.435, Report No. 19/00, OEA/Ser.L/V/II.106 Doc. 3 rev. at 346 (1999).
REPORT Nº 19/00
February 24, 2000
1. On January 18, 1995, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (hereinafter "the Commission") received a communication reporting the forced disappearance of José Sucunú Panjoj on October 29, 1994. Since then, Mr. Sucunú Panjojs whereabouts are unknown, despite a number of legal actions and other measures taken in attempts to establish his whereabouts. Mr. Sucunú Panjoj was a member of the Runujel Junam Council of Ethnic Organizations (Consejo de Entidades Étnicas Runujel Junam - CERJ) and was working in that institutions human rights and public education programs. The petition alleged that the Republic of Guatemala (hereinafter "the State" or "Guatemala") was responsible for violations of Mr. Sucunú Panjojs rights under the American Convention on Human Rights (hereinafter "the American Convention"), specifically: the right to life (Article 4), the right to humane treatment (Article 5), the right to personal liberty (Article 7), and the right to judicial protection (Article 25), all in violation of the States obligations under Article 1(1) of the Convention.
2. The parties reached a friendly settlement agreement in the present case on December 21, 1999.
3. At 5:00 p.m. on October 29, 1994, Mr. José Sucunú Pajoj said farewell to some family members at the Zone 4 bus station in Guatemala City, and left on a bus for his home in Chichicastenango. He has not been seen or heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, Mr. Sucunú Pajoj was 59, married and the father of 11 children.
4. Mr. Sucunú was working as a luggage handler at the Zone 4 bus station in Guatemala City, and traveled constantly between Guatemala City and his home in the canton of Quiejel, municipality of Chichicastenango, department of El Quiché. He had been a member of the Runujel Junam Council of Ethnic Organizations (CERJ) since 1988 and worked in its human rights and public education programs.
5. The petition stated that Mr. Sucunú Pajoj had been intimidated and criticized on numerous occasions by members of the Civilian Self-defense Patrols (Patrullas de Autodefensa Civil PAC) and by local military commissioners because of his activities with CERJ. The intimidation included, among other things, false accusations to the effect that he was in the guerrilla movement and death threats against him and his family by a former PAC member, Sebastián Macario Ventura.
6. The family of Mr. Sucunú Pajoj and CERJ instituted numerous legal actions to ascertain his whereabouts. These included two petitions of habeas corpus on behalf of the victim. When these legal measures failed to produce any results, the Sucunú family went to the Judicial Morgue, located in Zone 3 of Guatemala City, to examine the photographic records of persons who died between September 30 and November 4, 1994, but found nothing on Mr. Sucunú.
7. In February of 1995, Mr. Sucunús wife filed a criminal complaint against former PAC member Sebastián Macario. That, too, produced no result. Referring to Mr. Sucunú Pajoj, Sebastián Macario was alleged to have said the following in the presence of witnesses: "I got rid of the son. Now I just have to get the father."2 This case was dismissed in July of 1996.
8. The various legal remedies attempted by the family of Mr. José Sucunú Pajoj did nothing to establish his whereabouts or to determine what happened.
9. The Commission opened Case 11.435 on March 1, 1995, and forwarded the pertinent parts of the petition to the Government of Guatemala, with the request that it send its reply within 90 days. The Government responded on June 27, 1995. This information was forwarded to the petitioners, who replied on July 23, 1995. Their reply, in turn, was sent to the Government on August 3, 1995. On October 6, 1995, the Government presented its observations. Subsequently, both the State and the petitioners supplied additional information on the case on numerous occasions.
10. On March 13, 1998, during its 98th regular session, the Commission declared this case admissible and issued admissibility report Nº 21/98. On April 14, 1998, the Government presented its response to the admissibility report to the Commission, and the petitioners presented their response on August 6, 1998.
11. On October 8, 1998, during its 100th regular session, a hearing was held at Commission headquarters, in which both parties were in attendance. There, the parties indicated their willingness to embark upon a process aimed at reaching a friendly settlement.
12. On February 8, 1999, the Commission requested information on the case from both parties, as it had not received any information since the hearing on October 8, 1998. On March 1 and 4, 1999, the Government and the petitioners supplied that information. Both parties continued to supply the Commission with additional information on this case.
13. On October 5, 1999, during its 104th session, the Commission held a hearing at which both parties were present. Its purpose was to move toward a friendly settlement.
14. On December 21, 1999, both parties arrived at a friendly settlement. The Commission was notified on January 18, 2000.
15. The friendly settlement agreement signed by the parties states that:
The party of the first part, the State of Guatemala, represented by the Presidential Steering Committee for Executive Policy on Human Rights COPREDEH- (hereinafter "the State"), and the parties of the second part, the Runujel Junam Council of Ethnic Communities (hereinafter "CERJ") and the Center for Justice and International Law (hereinafter "CEJIL"), both representing the interests of the family of Mr. JOSÉ SUCUNÚ PANJOJ, agree to a friendly settlement in case Nº 11.435, now before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (hereinafter "the Commission").

Best-selling CDs
Notable CDs | Billboard's top five best-selling CDs as of Sept. 25
The top five best-selling CDs as of Sept. 25
According to Billboard magazine
1. WHAT I DO -- Alan Jackson
Weeks on the chart 1
Style Contemporary country with increasingly traditionalist leanings.
Worldview "I stand here tonight with this six-string guitar, / to be somethin' I've always been in my heart, / just for the chance to play you my songs. / And the thrill when I hear you singin' along / has been worth everything I've been through / to do what I do."
Overall quality Not quite in Merle Haggard's league yet, but getting there.
2. LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING -- Tim McGraw
Weeks on the chart 3
Style Commercially flawless contemporary country.
Objectionable material "Kill Myself" (casual cursing); "Everybody Hates Me" (for those who object to S.O.B.).
Worldview "Sitting at the table don't happen much no more. / We've gotten too complicated. / It's all way overrated. / I love the old and outdated way of life" ("Back When").
Overall quality Top-drawer professional country songwriting, efficiently, if not always passionately, interpreted.
3. GENIUS LOVES COMPANY -- Ray Charles
Weeks on the chart 2
Style Omnivorously eclectic American pop.
Worldview Ray Charles loved every kind of music, and every kind of music loved him back.
Overall quality Although the Michael McDonald, Bonnie Raitt, Gladys Knight, B.B. King, Johnny Mathis, and Van Morrison duets hold up better than the James Taylor, Elton John, Natalie Cole, and Willie Nelson duets, the music only really comes to life when the Genius starts to sing.
4. MY EVERYTHING -- Anita Baker
Weeks on the chart 1
Style Romantic, upscale-nightclub soul.
Objectionable material "Like You Used to Do" (casual cursing).
Worldview "See with your heart. / See with your spirit, not with your mind" ("Close Your Eyes").
Overall quality Tends to support the primary thesis of Anita Baker's critics: namely, that because her singing and sound bear no trace of either gospel or the blues, her music is so creamily smooth it's ultimately indistinguishable from froth.
4. THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC! 16 -- Various artists
Weeks on the chart 5
Style Mostly hip-hop, with some peroxide pop, guitar-heavy rock, and Gretchen Wilson thrown in for diversity.
Objectionable material The occasional muted vulgarities and general raunchiness of the hip-hop half.
Worldview No one has ever gone broke underestimating the taste of the American public.
Overall quality Adolescence ad absurdum.
In the spotlight
Somewhat overlooked in the wake of Ray Charles's recent passing was the death on Sept. 15 (from prostate cancer) of John Cummings, aka Johnny Ramone, the one-man guitar army whose group, the Ramones (1976-1996), was the quintessential American punk band. Though not nearly as influential as Ray Charles, Mr. Ramone was hailed as a rock 'n' roll pioneer, if only for rescuing the electric guitar from self-aggrandizing soloists and discovering within its more jackhammer-like properties a primitive populist voice.
What makes his passing particularly sad is that he was also one of rock's few outspoken Republicans. And while the Ramones' catalog can hardly be said to "tilt right," the ferociously sarcastic humor of their best-known songs ("I Wanna Be Sedated," "Blitzkrieg Bop," "The KKK Took My Baby Away," "Teenage Lobotomy") is a kind of inoculation against the off-puttingly somber political grandstanding to which the likes of Elton John and Bruce Springsteen have become increasingly susceptible.

Identity crime is a critical threat to the Australian community. This crime type generates significant profits for offenders and causes considerable financial losses to the Australian Government, private industry and individuals.
A set of standard definitions were developed by the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre's Proof of Identity Steering Committee for use by law enforcement throughout Australia (ACPR 2006:15):
Recent estimates by the Attorney-General's Department indicate that identity crime costs Australia upwards of $1.6 billion each year, with the majority (around $900m) lost by individuals through credit card fraud, identity theft and scams.
More alarmingly, identity crime continues to be a key enabler of serious and organised crime, which in turn costs Australia around $15 billion annually.
Visit the Australian Bureau of Statistics for more statistics and information on identity crime and fraud in Australia.
The AFP, in collaboration with other government departments and private sector organisations, is involved in a variety of activities to tackle identity theft and identity crime.
The joint AFP and New South Wales Police Identity Security Strike Team (ISST) based in Sydney is supported by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection and New South Wales Roads and Maritime Services.
ISST is dedicated to the investigation of identity related crime, including the compromise of personal information and the production of false or forged documents.
The ISST is focused on investigating serious and complex identity crime matters and form a collaborative network among law enforcement agencies to effectively deal with this crime type.
The ISST works in close cooperation with state police to target the groups responsible for this activity.
Once a criminal has the information they need they could:
You can take some simple steps to reduce the risks of having your personal information stolen or misused:
You may become a victim of identity theft if:
You may already be a victim of identity theft if:
If you have been a victim of identity crime and your card is still in your possession, you shouldn't have to pay for anything bought on it without your permission (subject to the terms and conditions of your account).
If your card has been reported lost or stolen, you will usually not have to pay, unless it can be shown that you have acted fraudulently or without reasonable care, for example by keeping your PIN number written down with your card. The same applies to any money lost through fraudulent bank transactions.
The Attorney-General's Department administers a scheme associated with the provision of certificates where an individual or a business is the victim of Commonwealth identity crime.
If you or your business is a victim of identity crime and you have a Commonwealth Victims' Certificate, you may present the certificate and any other relevant information to a government agency or other organisation. The certificate will help support your claim that you have been a victim of Commonwealth identity crime and will allow you to seek assistance in rectifying problems you have suffered as a consequence of the crime. The certificate doesn't, however, bind an organisation to take action.
Visit the Attorney-General's Department website for more information about Commonwealth Victims' Certificates.
Information about new methods of identity crime and emerging scams can be found at SCAMWatch — a website run by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
If you would like to report a scam you can complete the SCAMWatch online form form or report it to the Australian Cybercrime Online Reporting Network (ACORN) at www.acorn.gov.au.
Reports made to the ACORN may be referred to police for consideration and possible investigation. If you believe a crime has been committed you should report the scam to the ACORN.
Visit the Attorney-General's Department website for more about securing your identity.
If you think you have been the victim of identity crime, report the matter to your local police.

For bookseller Barnes & Noble (NYSE:BKS), the recent bankruptcy filing of its rival, Borders Group, is leading investors to wonder about what's next. Will the failure of its rival and the rapidly changing book selling business signify doom for Barnes & Noble, or are there ways for this survivor to successfully remake itself?
IN PICTURES: Learn To Invest In 10 Steps
A Sad History of Decline
The Borders bankruptcy may one day stand as a symbol of the decline of the traditional book selling business. That said, Borders was arguably poorly managed even when the traditional hard-copy, brick-and-mortar bookstore model ruled the book selling world. Over expansion, poor management decisions, and its inability to adapt to digital publishing helped set Borders up for failure.
Amazon the Killer?
Amazon.com (Nasdaq:AMZN) is to Borders and book selling what Netflix (Nasdaq:NFLX) is to Blockbuster (OTC:BLOAQ) and movie rental. Yet while the short story is that Amazon strangled Borders via the online marketplace and eventually plunged it into bankruptcy, the same fate hasn't befallen Barnes & Noble - at least not yet. Whether Barnes & Noble is simply next in line or learns and implements the lessons from Borders' cautionary tale is the issue.
Barnes & Noble's Situation
Barnes & Noble recently suspended its dividend, and although its total revenue has held up well recently, it has had slowing earnings. The company put itself up for sale, but with the turmoil in the marketplace there have been no takers so far. Barnes & Noble will continue to invest in its Nook e-reader, which competes with Amazon's Kindle and others, in the hope of capturing an even larger share of the e-book business.
The Digital Wave
While Borders hopes to emerge from bankruptcy leaner and more fit to compete, or at least to survive, much of present and most of the future of book selling is digital. Books-A-Million (Nasdaq:BAMM), another brick-and-mortar chain, has so far managed to stay profitable via able management, a developed internet presence and a diversity of products beyond books.
With e-book entrants such as Google (Nasdaq:GOOG) and new entrants in the e-reader or tablet area seemingly emerging every week, Barnes & Noble needs to accelerate the growth of its e-book business. It's investing heavily in Nook, so profitability will be dampened there for a while, but with its 25% share of the e-book market it's clear that digital is the future.
A Possible Future
The newspaper industry, with its printed paper product dying, has offered a potential model of survival if not growth. Pay-for digital news is already here, with NewsCorp (Nasdaq:NWS) (which owns the Wall Street Journal) among the publishers with digital publications. Magazines are migrating toward an online audience too. Added to this is the obvious advantage of NewsCorp and others such as The New York Times (NYSE:NYT), The Washington Post (NYSE:WPO) and Gannett (NYSE:GCI), which own broadcast, cable or internet businesses.
The Bottom Line
Barnes & Noble needs to adapt a similar model around diversifying into digital publishing. It needs to build up its digital stake substantially, find alliances and develop ancillary businesses so it won't be dependent on its physical stores. This is easier said than done, but Barnes & Noble's survival will depend on making this happen. (For related reading, also take a look at 4 Industry-Changing Tech Trends.)

It was comedy gold when Stephen Lewandowsky released his paper in 2012 NASA faked the moon landing – Therefore (Climate) Science is a Hoax: An Anatomy of the Motivated Rejection of Science (LOG12) (available here). The response by the denier den community to LOG12 was predictable. When confronted with the findings that conspiracy theorists who endorse a cluster of non-climate-related conspiracy theories are more likely to reject climate science, they fought back the best way they knew how, by engaging in conspiracy ideation about the paper, the authors, the lead author's institution, the Australian government…. What a classic! I am sure a few of the more sensible amongst them would have been wishing their fellow deniers would shut up, but alas, it became a veritable orgy of paranoia and conspiracy ideation.
So much of this was going on, it prompted Lewandowsky to delve deeper into the issue and collect data from the LOG12 response. With John Cook (SkepticalScience), Klaus Oberauer (University of Zurich) and Mike Marriott (Watching the Deniers), he produced the paper Recursive fury: conspiracist ideation in the blogosphere in response to research on conspiracist ideation. This paper classifies different types of conspiratorial thinking into easy to understand bites that I hope those of us who regularly comment in blogs will use when engaging climate science deniers who engage in that kind of thinking.
Abstract: Conspiracist ideation has been repeatedly implicated in the rejection of scientific propositions, although empirical evidence to date has been sparse. A recent study involving visitors to climate blogs found that conspiracist ideation was associated with the rejection of climate science and the rejection of other scientific propositions such as the link between lung cancer and smoking, and between HIV and AIDS (Lewandowsky et al., in press; LOG12 from here on). This article analyses the response of the climate blogosphere to the publication of LOG12. We identify and trace the hypotheses that emerged in response to LOG12 and that questioned the validity of the paper's conclusions. Using established criteria to identify conspiracist ideation, we show that many of the hypotheses exhibited conspiratorial content and counterfactual thinking. For example, whereas hypotheses were initially narrowly focused on LOG12, some ultimately grew in scope to include actors beyond the authors of LOG12, such as university executives, a media organization, and the Australian government. The overall pattern of the blogosphere's response to LOG12 illustrates the possible role of conspiracist ideation in the rejection of science, although alternative scholarly interpretations may be advanced in the future.
The full article is an excellent read. The deniers of course won't like it.

Druze Minister: Syria Supplies Water to Golan Villages
"Syria has been supplying water since 1986 to residents of the Druze town Majdal Shams, and the Druze of the Golan [Heights] intend to ask [Syria] to start supplying water to additional Druze towns," said MK Ayoub Kara (Likud), the deputy minister for the development of the Negev and Galilee, during a visit to the region yesterday.
Kara, an Israeli Druze, vowed yesterday to work toward reaching an agreement with Syria over the water supply for Golan Heights towns.
Currently, 10% of the water used by Majdal Shams comes from Syria's Ein-al-Toufah spring. The spring is only a few hundred meters north of the village, but is in Syrian territory. Syria has allowed the town to use water from this spring for the past 25 years - for free.
Majdal Shams used the spring before the Six-Day War in 1967, and in 1986 Israel agreed to allow the Druze to rebuild the pipe to the spring.
Israel and Syria share common economic interests that should be developed, Kara added. For instance, Israel exports 10,000 tons of Golan apples to Syria every year, and Kara says this could be increased to 100,000 tons if Syria were to provide more water. The two countries also allow periodic cross-border family and religious visits.
Syria wastes about 200 million cubic meters of water annually, Kara said, adding that an agreement could be reached to send this water to the northern Golan, starting with the Druze towns. Druze residents of the Golan are planning to visit Syria soon, and will ask for more water for the Golan's other three Druze villages.
"The two countries' economic interests will return the sides to the negotiating table, and from economic peace we will also reach true peace," said Kara.

Many budding writers would give anything to get inside the heads of best-selling authors to learn their secrets to success.
Crime novelist Jonathan Kellerman '74 can spare them the trouble.
As a trained psychologist, Kellerman is certainly qualified to analyze the workings of his brain. More than that, he's also willing to share the time-tested methods that allow him to write best-selling novels year after year.
Kellerman, a USC College Ph.D. graduate, first started writing as a therapeutic hobby while working as a psychologist. After two decades of working by day and writing by night, and after publishing five books, he finally made the shift to writing full time.
Since 1985, Kellerman has written 31 best-selling novels, and in the past two years, he's written four novels and an art book on vintage guitars. What could account for this prolific publishing schedule? His diagnosis is simple. "I think I have a touch of hypomania," he said. "I talk fast; I move fast; I think fast."
He has earned a prominent place in the writing world, but part of him has never left his original field of psychology. This training may be most evident in his creation of Alex Delaware, the star of 24 of Kellerman's novels. The character is a retired child psychologist turned amateur detective who applies his expertise to help police solve horrific crimes. Kellerman decided to make Delaware a former psychologist because, as he puts it, "Write what you know, and I'm a psychologist."
Kellerman's background has influenced his writing process as well. Before he landed on The New York Times best-seller list, Kellerman already had been published in the field of psychology. Writing for a scientific audience taught him, among other things, "literary thrift," which he admits is a challenge.
"One of my weaknesses is I tend to be very wordy, but I realize that about myself and rein it in," he said. "I think scientific writing helped teach me a bit of discipline, in terms of outlining, organization, and paring it down to what's really necessary to get your thoughts across," he said.
Although he is aware of his weakness and attempts to use words wisely, Kellerman says that after finishing a book, he will still go back and cut it by 20 percent. "I tell writers, 'The Bible is holy, your stuff isn't. Learn to maintain confidence and cut. There should be a purpose to everything in your book.'"
Ninety percent of writing is in the preparation, Kellerman says, and he practices what he preaches. "I will plan a book for months, if not years, and I will only sit down to write once it is outlined in detail," he said.
"I always progress through chapters by chapter outlines, and I realize it's less for the sense of devising plots and more for my own confidence," he continued. "People ask me, 'Do you ever have writer's block?' I don't have it, I think, because I have the outline."
Another factor that drives Kellerman is setting attainable milestones: "If I think about writing a whole book, it's too scary. So what I do is have a goal — to sit down every day and write five pages. And if I do that, I feel I've succeeded."
Despite his background in psychology, Kellerman does not overanalyze himself. "Introspection is one of creativity's greatest enemies," he said. Although writing can be therapeutic, and even though his own career started as a form of therapy, he believes that all successful writers who have longevity treat writing as a job, not just as a creative outlet.
"I don't doubt the therapeutic value of writing; I just think that too much thinking will hinder you," Kellerman said. "You just have to do the work."
And he certainly has done the work. Kellerman recently turned 60. He has had two successful careers in his lifetime, which leads some readers to ask him if he'll ever retire. So can we continue to expect another book each year from Jonathan Kellerman?
"They'll probably be lowering me in to my grave typing," he said, laughing.
We'll take that as a yes.

State Legislation
CCPHA has led many of California's most successful and groundbreaking statewide obesity prevention policy campaigns. Our full 2015 legislative agenda is now available here. We encourage you to join our Statewide Advocacy Network.
Statewide Menu Labeling at Chain Restaurants, 2008 (SB 1420, Padilla). This bill made California the first state in the nation to require menu labeling at chain restaurants. The law begins implementation in 2009 when restaurants chains with 20 or more outlets in the state must make nutritional brochures available at the point of sale. By 2011, restaurants must post calorie information directly on menus and menu boards. CCPHA and the American Cancer Society sponsored SB 1420. For a list of SB 1420 supporters, click here. See how your legislator voted on SB 1420 and read a summary of the bill and the full text of the bill. For more information on menu labeling, see Menu Labeling in the Resources section of our web site.
School Junk Food Ban, 2005 (SB 12, Escutia). SB 12 established the most rigorous nutrition standards in the country for food sold anywhere on school campuses outside the school meal program. The law, which goes into effect July 1, 2007, established limits on fat and sugar content and portion size on all foods sold a la carte, in vending machines or school stores, or as part of a school fundraiser. SB 12 was sponsored by the California Center for Public Health Advocacy, the California School Boards Association, Governor Schwarzenegger, and many other co-sponsors and supporters. Find out how your legislator voted on SB 12, and read a bill summary or the full text of the bill. Read this case study about the advocacy process that led to this legislative victory.
High School Soda Ban, 2005 (SB 965, Escutia). Reducing soda consumption is one of the most promising strategies for addressing the epidemic of overweight children. This bill defined school beverage standards for high schools, eliminating the sale of soda and other sweetened beverages on high school campuses in California. Similar standards had already been established for elementary and middle schools through SB 677 (Ortiz, 2003, see below). Half of the beverages sold on high school campuses must meet these standards by July 1, 2007. All beverages sold on high school campuses must meet these standards by July 1, 2009. SB 965 was sponsored by Governor Schwarzenegger and had a long list of supporters. Find out how your legislator voted on SB 965, and read a bill summary or the full text of the bill. Read this case study about the advocacy process that led to this legislative victory.
Marketing to Children, 2004 (SJR 29 Kuehl). In 2004 CCPHA successfully sponsored a resolution that called upon Congress to take steps to curtail unhealthy marketing to children. The Resolution and its accompanying fact sheet provide information on the problem of marketing to children as well as proposed actions to remedy the problem.
K-8 Soda Ban, 2003 (SB 677 Ortiz). This bill, which went into effect July 1, 2004, ensures that only healthy beverages are sold on elementary, middle and junior high school campuses. Reducing soda consumption is one of the most promising strategies for preventing obesity. Find out how your legislator voted on SB 677, read a bill summary, view the full text of the bill, and learn about the negative health effects of soda consumption.
School Food Standards, 2001 (SB 19 Escutia). SB 19 established a statewide pilot program to determine the financial impact on schools that implement rigorous nutrition standards for foods and beverages sold outside of the school meal program (foods sold a la carte, in vending machines, in school stores and as fundraisers). The pilot program showed that middle and high schools could implement nutrition standards without any loss of revenue. Some schools even made more money selling healthy foods than they did selling unhealthy foods. The statute would have also established nutrition standards for foods sold at elementary schools had the legislature increased school meal reimbursements. Unfortunately, the legislature did not increase meal reimbursements.

Does a short story need a plot? It's one of the many subjects that has cropped up in discussion at the Short Story Club. It's easy to say no because – at the risk of sounding simplistic – a short story is short: but as your responses to the writing exercises I set demonstrate, it's a little more complex than that. The My Telegraph site was down for spring cleaning this week, so I was unable to read all the responses to the most recent exercise, to write from the point of view of a child, but before they put the yellow plastic sign out and the broom diagonally across the door we already had over 200 fragments of writing – and what is always interesting, reading your fragments, is how often I feel, yes, this is the beginning of a story. Not just a short story: a story.
Short fiction from previous eras was more obviously narrative in form than now, more anecdotal: I'm thinking of a story by Guy de Maupassant, can anyone identify it for me? I can't remember the title but I've never forgot the story. It is about a young couple who are kept awake every night by the elderly man in the apartment upstairs. He sits on the edge of his bed, takes off his boots and lets them fall with a clunk to the floor. Eventually, the couple leave him a note. That night, he retires to bed and removes one boot, which falls with a clatter. Then he remembers the note and, mortified, eases off the other one, very gently, and places it soundlessly on the floor. Below him, the young couple lie awake, unable to sleep because they are rigid with anticipation, waiting for the second boot to fall.
Roald Dahl's 'Tales of the Unexpected' is the nearest modern equivalent I can think of, and I'm sure we all remember the television series with it's naked dancing silhouette and wavering lines, although what that had to do with any of the stories was something I never quite figured out. On the whole, I prefer the openness and sketchiness of the modern style of story, the sense of something merely glimpsed, unexplained but I suppose we shouldn't dismiss the idea that, short as they are, even brief stories can still surprise us with twists or revelations too.
